Alif, Lam, Ra. [This is] a Book whose verses are perfected and then presented in detail from [one who is] Wise and Acquainted.
الٓرٰ ۗ كِتٰبٌ اُحْكِمَتْ اٰيٰـتُهٗ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ مِنْ لَّدُنْ حَكِيْمٍ خَبِيْرٍۙ

[Through a messenger, saying], "Do not worship except Allah . Indeed, I am to you from Him a warner and a bringer of good tidings,"
اَ لَّا تَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلَّا اللّٰهَ ۗ اِنَّنِىْ لَـكُمْ مِّنْهُ نَذِيْرٌ وَّبَشِيْرٌ ۙ

And [saying], "Seek forgiveness of your Lord and repent to Him, [and] He will let you enjoy a good provision for a specified term and give every doer of favor his favor. But if you turn away, then indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a great Day.
وَّاَنِ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَيْهِ يُمَتِّعْكُمْ مَّتَاعًا حَسَنًا اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَّ يُؤْتِ كُلَّ ذِىْ فَضْلٍ فَضْلَهٗ ۗ وَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاِنِّىْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ كَبِيْرٍ

To Allah is your return, and He is over all things competent."
اِلَى اللّٰهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْۚ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ

Unquestionably, they the disbelievers turn away their breasts to hide themselves from Him. Unquestionably, [even] when they cover themselves in their clothing, Allah knows what they conceal and what they declare. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts
اَلَاۤ اِنَّهُمْ يَثْنُوْنَ صُدُوْرَهُمْ لِيَسْتَخْفُوْا مِنْهُۗ اَلَا حِيْنَ يَسْتَغْشُوْنَ ثِيَابَهُمْۙ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّوْنَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُوْنَۚ اِنَّهٗ عَلِيْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ

And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its provision, and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register
وَمَا مِنْ دَآ بَّةٍ فِى الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا عَلَى اللّٰهِ رِزْقُهَا وَ يَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَاۗ كُلٌّ فِىْ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِيْنٍ

And it is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days - and His Throne had been upon water - that He might test you as to which of you is best in deed. But if you say, "Indeed, you are resurrected after death," those who disbelieve will surely say, "This is not but obvious magic."
وَ هُوَ الَّذِىْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ فِىْ سِتَّةِ اَ يَّامٍ وَّكَانَ عَرْشُهٗ عَلَى الْمَآءِ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ اَيُّكُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ۗ وَلَٮِٕنْ قُلْتَ اِنَّكُمْ مَّبْعُوْثُوْنَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ الْمَوْتِ لَيَـقُوْلَنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ

And if We hold back from them the punishment for a limited time, they will surely say, "What detains it?" Unquestionably, on the Day it comes to them, it will not be averted from them, and they will be enveloped by what they used to ridicule.
وَلَٮِٕنْ اَخَّرْنَا عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ اِلٰٓى اُمَّةٍ مَّعْدُوْدَةٍ لَّيَـقُوْلُنَّ مَا يَحْبِسُهٗۗ اَلَا يَوْمَ يَأْتِيْهِمْ لَـيْسَ مَصْرُوْفًا عَنْهُمْ وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ

And if We give man a taste of mercy from Us and then We withdraw it from him, indeed, he is despairing and ungrateful.
وَلَٮِٕنْ اَذَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعْنٰهَا مِنْهُۚ اِنَّهٗ لَيَـــُٔوْسٌ كَفُوْرٌ

But if We give him a taste of favor after hardship has touched him, he will surely say, "Bad times have left me." Indeed, he is exultant and boastful -
وَلَٮِٕنْ اَذَقْنٰهُ نَـعْمَآءَ بَعْدَ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَـقُوْلَنَّ ذَهَبَ السَّيِّاٰتُ عَنِّىْ ۗ اِنَّهٗ لَـفَرِحٌ فَخُوْرٌۙ

Except for those who are patient and do righteous deeds; those will have forgiveness and great reward.
اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ صَبَرُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِۗ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّاَجْرٌ كَبِيْرٌ

Then would you possibly leave [out] some of what is revealed to you, or is your breast constrained by it because they say, "Why has there not been sent down to him a treasure or come with him an angel?" But you are only a warner. And Allah is Disposer of all things.
فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكٌۢ بَعْضَ مَا يُوْحٰٓى اِلَيْكَ وَضَآٮِٕقٌ ۢ بِهٖ صَدْرُكَ اَنْ يَّقُوْلُوْا لَوْلَاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ كَنْزٌ اَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهٗ مَلَكٌ ۗ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ نَذِيْرٌ ۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَّكِيْلٌ ۗ

Or do they say, "He invented it"? Say, "Then bring ten surahs like it that have been invented and call upon [for assistance] whomever you can besides Allah, if you should be truthful."
اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَـرٰٮهُ ۗ قُلْ فَأْتُوْا بِعَشْرِ سُوَرٍ مِّثْلِهٖ مُفْتَرَيٰتٍ وَّ ادْعُوْا مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ

And if they do not respond to you - then know that the Qur'an was revealed with the knowledge of Allah and that there is no deity except Him. Then, would you [not] be Muslims?
فَاِلَّمْ يَسْتَجِيْبُوْا لَـكُمْ فَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ بِعِلْمِ اللّٰهِ وَاَنْ لَّاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ

Whoever desires the life of this world and its adornments - We fully repay them for their deeds therein, and they therein will not be deprived.
مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيْدُ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَا وَ زِيْنَتَهَا نُوَفِّ اِلَيْهِمْ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فِيْهَا وَهُمْ فِيْهَا لَا يُبْخَسُوْنَ

Those are the ones for whom there is not in the Hereafter but the Fire. And lost is what they did therein, and worthless is what they used to do.
اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ لَـيْسَ لَهُمْ فِىْ الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا النَّارُ ۖ وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُوْا فِيْهَا وَبٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ

So is one who [stands] upon a clear evidence from his Lord [like the aforementioned]? And a witness from Him follows it, and before it was the Scripture of Moses to lead and as mercy. Those [believers in the former revelations] believe in the Qur'an. But whoever disbelieves in it from the [various] factions - the Fire is his promised destination. So be not in doubt about it. Indeed, it is the truth from your Lord, but most of the people do not believe
اَفَمَنْ كَانَ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ وَيَتْلُوْهُ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْهُ وَمِنْ قَبْلِهٖ كِتٰبُ مُوْسٰٓى اِمَامًا وَّرَحْمَةً ۗ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖ ۗ وَمَنْ يَّكْفُرْ بِهٖ مِنَ الْاَحْزَابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهٗ ۚ فَلَا تَكُ فِىْ مِرْيَةٍ مِّنْهُ اِنَّهُ الْحَـقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ وَلٰـكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ

And who is more unjust than he who invents a lie about Allah ? Those will be presented before their Lord, and the witnesses will say, "These are the ones who lied against their Lord." Unquestionably, the curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers.
وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَـرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا ۗ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ يُعْرَضُوْنَ عَلٰى رَبِّهِمْ وَ يَقُوْلُ الْاَشْهَادُ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَبُوْا عَلٰى رَبِّهِمْ ۚ اَلَا لَـعْنَةُ اللّٰهِ عَلَى الظّٰلِمِيْنَۙ

Who averted [people] from the way of Allah and sought to make it [seem] deviant while they, concerning the Hereafter, were disbelievers.
الَّذِيْنَ يَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ وَيَبْغُوْنَهَا عِوَجًا ۗ وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ

Those were not causing failure [to Allah ] on earth, nor did they have besides Allah any protectors. For them the punishment will be multiplied. They were not able to hear, nor did they see
اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ لَمْ يَكُوْنُوْا مُعْجِزِيْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ اَوْلِيَآءَ ۘ يُضٰعَفُ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ ۗ مَا كَانُوْا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ السَّمْعَ وَمَا كَانُوْا يُبْصِرُوْنَ

Those are the ones who will have lost themselves, and lost from them is what they used to invent.
اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ خَسِرُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يَفْتَرُوْنَ

Assuredly, it is they in the Hereafter who will be the greatest losers.
لَا جَرَمَ اَ نَّهُمْ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ هُمُ الْاَخْسَرُوْنَ

Indeed, they who have believed and done righteous deeds and humbled themselves to their Lord - those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide eternally therein.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَاَخْبَـتُوْۤا اِلٰى رَبِّهِمْۙ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَـنَّةِۗ هُمْ فِيْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ

The example of the two parties is like the blind and deaf, and the seeing and hearing. Are they equal in comparison? Then, will you not remember?
مَثَلُ الْفَرِيْقَيْنِ كَالْاَعْمٰى وَالْاَصَمِّ وَالْبَـصِيْرِ وَالسَّمِيْعِ ۗ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيٰنِ مَثَلًا ۗ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ

And We had certainly sent Noah to his people, [saying], " Indeed, I am to you a clear warner
وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰى قَوْمِهٖۤ اِنِّىْ لَـكُمْ نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌۙ

That you not worship except Allah . Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a painful day."
اَنْ لَّا تَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلَّا اللّٰهَۗ اِنِّىْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ اَلِيْمٍ

So the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, " We do not see you but as a man like ourselves, and we do not see you followed except by those who are the lowest of us [and] at first suggestion. And we do not see in you over us any merit; rather, we think you are liars."
فَقَالَ الْمَلَاُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖ مَا نَرٰٮكَ اِلَّا بَشَرًا مِّثْلَنَا وَمَا نَرٰٮكَ اتَّبَعَكَ اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ اَرَاذِلُــنَا بَادِىَ الرَّأْىِۚ وَمَا نَرٰى لَـكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ فَضْلٍۢ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كٰذِبِيْنَ

He said, "O my people have you considered: if I should be upon clear evidence from my Lord while He has given me mercy from Himself but it has been made unapparent to you, should we force it upon you while you are averse to it?
قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّىْ وَاٰتٰٮنِىْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِهٖ فَعُمِّيَتْ عَلَيْكُمْۗ اَنُلْزِمُكُمُوْهَا وَاَنْـتُمْ لَـهَا كٰرِهُوْنَ

And O my people, I ask not of you for it any wealth. My reward is not but from Allah . And I am not one to drive away those who have believed. Indeed, they will meet their Lord, but I see that you are a people behaving ignorantly.
وَيٰقَوْمِ لَاۤ اَسْـــَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مَالًا ۗاِنْ اَجْرِىَ اِلَّا عَلَى اللّٰهِ وَمَآ أَنَاۡ بِطَارِدِ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا ۗ اِنَّهُمْ مُّلٰقُوْا رَبِّهِمْ وَلٰـكِنِّىْۤ اَرٰٮكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُوْنَ

And O my people, who would protect me from Allah if I drove them away? Then will you not be reminded?
وَيٰقَوْمِ مَنْ يَّـنْصُرُنِىْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنْ طَرَدۡتُّهُمْۗ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ

And I do not tell you that I have the depositories [containing the provision] of Allah or that I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel, nor do I say of those upon whom your eyes look down that Allah will never grant them any good. Allah is most knowing of what is within their souls. Indeed, I would then be among the wrongdoers."
وَلَاۤ اَقُوْلُ لَـكُمْ عِنْدِىْ خَزَآٮِٕنُ اللّٰهِ وَلَاۤ اَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ وَلَاۤ اَقُوْلُ اِنِّىْ مَلَكٌ وَّلَاۤ اَقُوْلُ لِلَّذِيْنَ تَزْدَرِىْۤ اَعْيُنُكُمْ لَنْ يُّؤْتِيَهُمُ اللّٰهُ خَيْرًا ۗ اَللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِىْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْ ۚ اِنِّىْۤ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

They said, "O Noah, you have disputed us and been frequent in dispute of us. So bring us what you threaten us, if you should be of the truthful."
قَالُوْا يٰـنُوْحُ قَدْ جَادَلْتَـنَا فَاَكْثَرْتَ جِدَالَـنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ

He said, " Allah will only bring it to you if He wills, and you will not cause [Him] failure.
قَالَ اِنَّمَا يَأْتِيْكُمْ بِهِ اللّٰهُ اِنْ شَآءَ وَمَاۤ اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِيْنَ

And my advice will not benefit you - although I wished to advise you - If Allah should intend to put you in error. He is your Lord, and to Him you will be returned."
وَلَا يَنْفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِىْۤ اِنْ اَرَدْتُّ اَنْ اَنْصَحَ لَكُمْ اِنْ كَانَ اللّٰهُ يُرِيْدُ اَنْ يُّغْوِيَكُمْۗ هُوَ رَبُّكُمْۗ وَاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَۗ

Or do they say [about Prophet Muhammad], "He invented it"? Say, "If I have invented it, then upon me is [the consequence of] my crime; but I am innocent of what [crimes] you commit."
اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَـرٰٮهُ ۗ قُلْ اِنِ افْتَرَيْتُهٗ فَعَلَىَّ اِجْرَامِىْ وَ أَنَاۡ بَرِىْٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُجْرِمُوْنَ

And it was revealed to Noah that, "No one will believe from your people except those who have already believed, so do not be distressed by what they have been doing
وَاُوْحِىَ اِلٰى نُوْحٍ اَنَّهٗ لَنْ يُّؤْمِنَ مِنْ قَوْمِكَ اِلَّا مَنْ قَدْ اٰمَنَ فَلَا تَبْتَٮِٕسْ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَفْعَلُوْنَ ۖ

And construct the ship under Our observation and Our inspiration and do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are [to be] drowned."
وَاصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِاَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا وَلَا تُخَاطِبْنِىْ فِى الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا ۚ اِنَّهُمْ مُّغْرَقُوْنَ

And he constructed the ship, and whenever an assembly of the eminent of his people passed by him, they ridiculed him. He said, "If you ridicule us, then we will ridicule you just as you ridicule.
وَيَصْنَعُ الْفُلْكَۗ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ مَلَاٌ مِّنْ قَوْمِهٖ سَخِرُوْا مِنْهُۗ قَالَ اِنْ تَسْخَرُوْا مِنَّا فَاِنَّا نَسْخَرُ مِنْكُمْ كَمَا تَسْخَرُوْنَۗ

And you are going to know who will get a punishment that will disgrace him [on earth] and upon whom will descend an enduring punishment [in the Hereafter]."
فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَۙ مَنْ يَّأْتِيْهِ عَذَابٌ يُّخْزِيْهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيْمٌ

[So it was], until when Our command came and the oven overflowed, We said, "Load upon the ship of each [creature] two mates and your family, except those about whom the word has preceded, and [include] whoever has believed." But none had believed with him, except a few
حَتّٰۤى اِذَا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّوْرُۙ قُلْنَا احْمِلْ فِيْهَا مِنْ كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَاَهْلَكَ اِلَّا مَنْ سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلُ وَمَنْ اٰمَنَۗ وَمَاۤ اٰمَنَ مَعَهٗۤ اِلَّا قَلِيْلٌ

And [Noah] said, "Embark therein; in the name of Allah is its course and its anchorage. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."
وَقَالَ ارْكَبُوْا فِيْهَا بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ مَجْرَاهَا وَمُرْسٰٮهَا ۗ اِنَّ رَبِّىْ لَـغَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ

And it sailed with them through waves like mountains, and Noah called to his son who was apart [from them], "O my son, come aboard with us and be not with the disbelievers."
وَهِىَ تَجْرِىْ بِهِمْ فِىْ مَوْجٍ كَالْجِبَالِۗ وَنَادٰى نُوْحُ بْنَهٗ وَكَانَ فِىْ مَعْزِلٍ يّٰبُنَىَّ ارْكَبْ مَّعَنَا وَلَا تَكُنْ مَّعَ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ

[But] he said, "I will take refuge on a mountain to protect me from the water." [Noah] said, "There is no protector today from the decree of Allah, except for whom He gives mercy." And the waves came between them, and he was among the drowned.
قَالَ سَاٰوِىْۤ اِلٰى جَبَلٍ يَّعْصِمُنِىْ مِنَ الْمَآءِۗ قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ اَمْرِ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَۚ وَحَالَ بَيْنَهُمَا الْمَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُغْرَقِيْنَ

And it was said, "O earth, swallow your water, and O sky, withhold [your rain]." And the water subsided, and the matter was accomplished, and the ship came to rest on the [mountain of] Judiyy. And it was said, "Away with the wrongdoing people."
وَقِيْلَ يٰۤاَرْضُ ابْلَعِىْ مَآءَكِ وَيٰسَمَآءُ اَقْلِعِىْ وَغِيْضَ الْمَآءُ وَقُضِىَ الْاَمْرُ وَاسْتَوَتْ عَلَى الْجُوْدِىِّ وَقِيْلَ بُعْدًا لِّـلْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

And Noah called to his Lord and said, "My Lord, indeed my son is of my family; and indeed, Your promise is true; and You are the most just of judges!"
وَنَادٰى نُوْحٌ رَّبَّهٗ فَقَالَ رَبِّ اِنَّ ابْنِىْ مِنْ اَهْلِىْ وَاِنَّ وَعْدَكَ الْحَـقُّ وَاَنْتَ اَحْكَمُ الْحٰكِمِيْنَ

He said, "O Noah, indeed he is not of your family; indeed, he is [one whose] work was other than righteous, so ask Me not for that about which you have no knowledge. Indeed, I advise you, lest you be among the ignorant."
قَالَ يٰـنُوْحُ اِنَّهٗ لَـيْسَ مِنْ اَهْلِكَ ۚ اِنَّهٗ عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ صَالِحٍ فَلَا تَسْــَٔــلْنِ مَا لَـيْسَ لَـكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ ۗ اِنِّىْۤ اَعِظُكَ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْجٰهِلِيْنَ

[Noah] said, "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from asking that of which I have no knowledge. And unless You forgive me and have mercy upon me, I will be among the losers."
قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّىْۤ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ اَنْ اَسْــَٔلَكَ مَا لَـيْسَ لِىْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌۗ وَاِلَّا تَغْفِرْ لِىْ وَتَرْحَمْنِىْۤ اَكُنْ مِّنَ الْخٰسِرِيْنَ

It was said, "O Noah, disembark in security from Us and blessings upon you and upon nations [descending] from those with you. But other nations [of them] We will grant enjoyment; then there will touch them from Us a painful punishment."
قِيْلَ يٰـنُوْحُ اهْبِطْ بِسَلٰمٍ مِّنَّا وَبَرَكٰتٍ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلٰٓى اُمَمٍ مِّمَّنْ مَّعَكَۗ وَاُمَمٌ سَنُمَتِّعُهُمْ ثُمَّ يَمَسُّهُمْ مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ

That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you, [O Muhammad]. You knew it not, neither you nor your people, before this. So be patient; indeed, the [best] outcome is for the righteous .
تِلْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ الْغَيْبِ نُوْحِيْهَاۤ اِلَيْكَۚ مَا كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُهَاۤ اَنْتَ وَلَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ هٰذَا ۖ فَاصْبِرْ ۖ اِنَّ الْعَاقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَ

And to 'Aad [We sent] their brother Hud. He said, "O my people, worship Allah ; you have no deity other than Him. You are not but inventors [of falsehood].
وَاِلٰى عَادٍ اَخَاهُمْ هُوْدًا ۗ قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَـكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗ ۗ اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا مُفْتَرُوْنَ

O my people, I do not ask you for it any reward. My reward is only from the one who created me. Then will you not reason?
يٰقَوْمِ لَاۤ اَسْـــَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ اَجْرًا ۗ اِنْ اَجْرِىَ اِلَّا عَلَى الَّذِىْ فَطَرَنِىْ ۗ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ

And O my people, ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in showers and increase you in strength [added] to your strength. And do not turn away, [being] criminals."
وَيٰقَوْمِ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَيْهِ يُرْسِلِ السَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّدْرَارًا وَّيَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّةً اِلٰى قُوَّتِكُمْ وَلَا تَتَوَلَّوْا مُجْرِمِيْنَ

They said, "O Hud, you have not brought us clear evidence, and we are not ones to leave our gods on your say-so. Nor are we believers in you.
قَالُوْا يٰهُوْدُ مَا جِئْتَـنَا بِبَيِّنَةٍ وَّمَا نَحْنُ بِتٰـرِكِىْۤ اٰلِهَـتِنَا عَنْ قَوْلِكَ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَـكَ بِمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

We only say that some of our gods have possessed you with evil." He said, "Indeed, I call Allah to witness, and witness [yourselves] that I am free from whatever you associate with Allah
اِنْ نَّقُوْلُ اِلَّا اعْتَـرٰٮكَ بَعْضُ اٰلِهَتِنَا بِسُوْٓءٍ ۗ قَالَ اِنِّىْۤ اُشْهِدُ اللّٰهَ وَاشْهَدُوْۤا اَنِّىْ بَرِىْٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُوْنَ ۙ

Other than Him. So plot against me all together; then do not give me respite.
مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ فَكِيْدُوْنِىْ جَمِيْعًا ثُمَّ لَا تُنْظِرُوْنِ

Indeed, I have relied upon Allah, my Lord and your Lord. There is no creature but that He holds its forelock. Indeed, my Lord is on a path [that is] straight."
اِنِّىْ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللّٰهِ رَبِّىْ وَرَبِّكُمْ ۗ مَا مِنْ دَآبَّةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ اٰخِذٌ ۢ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا ۗ اِنَّ رَبِّىْ عَلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ

But if they turn away, [say], "I have already conveyed that with which I was sent to you. My Lord will give succession to a people other than you, and you will not harm Him at all. Indeed my Lord is, over all things, Guardian."
فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقَدْ اَبْلَغْتُكُمْ مَّاۤ اُرْسِلْتُ بِهٖۤ اِلَيْكُمْ ۗ وَيَسْتَخْلِفُ رَبِّىْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْۚ وَلَا تَضُرُّوْنَهٗ شَيْـــًٔا ۗ اِنَّ رَبِّىْ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَفِيْظٌ

And when Our command came, We saved Hud and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us; and We saved them from a harsh punishment.
وَ لَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا هُوْدًا وَّالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا ۚ وَ نَجَّيْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِيْظٍ

And that was 'Aad, who rejected the signs of their Lord and disobeyed His messengers and followed the order of every obstinate tyrant.
وَتِلْكَ عَادٌۗ جَحَدُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَصَوْا رُسُلَهٗ وَاتَّبَعُوْۤا اَمْرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيْدٍ

And they were [therefore] followed in this world with a curse and [as well] on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, 'Aad denied their Lord; then away with 'Aad, the people of Hud.
وَاُتْبِعُوْا فِىْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا لَعْنَةً وَّيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۗ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ عَادًا كَفَرُوْا رَبَّهُمْۗ اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّعَادٍ قَوْمِ هُوْدٍ

And to Thamud [We sent] their brother Salih. He said, "O my people, worship Allah ; you have no deity other than Him. He has produced you from the earth and settled you in it, so ask forgiveness of Him and then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is near and responsive."
وَاِلٰى ثَمُوْدَ اَخَاهُمْ صٰلِحًاۘ قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَـكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗ ۗ هُوَ اَنْشَاَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ وَاسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِيْهَا فَاسْتَغْفِرُوْهُ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَيْهِ ۗ اِنَّ رَبِّىْ قَرِيْبٌ مُّجِيْبٌ

They said, "O Salih, you were among us a man of promise before this. Do you forbid us to worship what our fathers worshipped? And indeed we are, about that to which you invite us, in disquieting doubt."
قَالُوْا يٰصٰلِحُ قَدْ كُنْتَ فِيْنَا مَرْجُوًّا قَبْلَ هٰذَآ اَتَـنْهٰٮنَاۤ اَنْ نَّـعْبُدَ مَا يَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَا وَاِنَّنَا لَفِىْ شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدْعُوْنَاۤ اِلَيْهِ مُرِيْبٍ

He said, "O my people, have you considered: if I should be upon clear evidence from my Lord and He has given me mercy from Himself, who would protect me from Allah if I disobeyed Him? So you would not increase me except in loss.
قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّىْ وَاٰتٰٮنِىْ مِنْهُ رَحْمَةً فَمَنْ يَّـنْصُرُنِىْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنْ عَصَيْتُهٗۗ فَمَا تَزِيْدُوْنَنِىْ غَيْرَ تَخْسِيْرٍ

And O my people, this is the she-camel of Allah - [she is] to you a sign. So let her feed upon Allah 's earth and do not touch her with harm, or you will be taken by an impending punishment."
وَيٰقَوْمِ هٰذِهٖ نَاقَةُ اللّٰهِ لَـكُمْ اٰيَةً فَذَرُوْهَا تَأْكُلْ فِىْۤ اَرْضِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا تَمَسُّوْهَا بِسُوْٓءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ قَرِيْبٌ

But they hamstrung her, so he said, "Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days. That is a promise not to be denied."
فَعَقَرُوْهَا فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعُوْا فِىْ دَارِكُمْ ثَلٰثَةَ اَ يَّامٍ ۗذٰ لِكَ وَعْدٌ غَيْرُ مَكْذُوْبٍ

So when Our command came, We saved Salih and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us, and [saved them] from the disgrace of that day. Indeed, it is your Lord who is the Powerful, the Exalted in Might.
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا صٰلِحًـا وَّالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَمِنْ خِزْىِ يَوْمِٮِٕذٍۗ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْقَوِىُّ الْعَزِيْزُ

And the shriek seized those who had wronged, and they became within their homes [corpses] fallen prone
وَاَخَذَ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّيْحَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِىْ دِيَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِيْنَۙ

As if they had never prospered therein. Unquestionably, Thamud denied their Lord; then, away with Thamud.
كَاَنْ لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيْهَا ۗ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ ثَمُوْدَاۡ كَفَرُوْا رَبَّهُمْۗ اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّـثَمُوْدَ

And certainly did Our messengers come to Abraham with good tidings; they said, "Peace." He said, "Peace," and did not delay in bringing [them] a roasted calf.
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَاۤ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ بِالْبُشْرٰى قَالُوْا سَلٰمًا ۗ قَالَ سَلٰمٌ فَمَا لَبِثَ اَنْ جَآءَ بِعِجْلٍ حَنِيْذٍ

But when he saw their hands not reaching for it, he distrusted them and felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not. We have been sent to the people of Lot."
فَلَمَّا رَاٰۤ اَيْدِيَهُمْ لَا تَصِلُ اِلَيْهِ نَـكِرَهُمْ وَاَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيْفَةً ۗ قَالُوْا لَا تَخَفْ اِنَّاۤ اُرْسِلْنَاۤ اِلٰى قَوْمِ لُوْطٍ ۗ

And his Wife was standing, and she smiled. Then We gave her good tidings of Isaac and after Isaac, Jacob.
وَامْرَاَ تُهٗ قَآٮِٕمَةٌ فَضَحِكَتْ فَبَشَّرْنٰهَا بِاِسْحٰقَ ۙ وَمِنْ وَّرَآءِ اِسْحٰقَ يَعْقُوْبَ

She said, "Woe to me! Shall I give birth while I am an old woman and this, my husband, is an old man? Indeed, this is an amazing thing!"
قَالَتْ يٰوَيْلَتٰٓى ءَاَلِدُ وَاَنَاۡ عَجُوْزٌ وَّهٰذَا بَعْلِىْ شَيْخًا ۗ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَشَىْءٌ عَجِيْبٌ

They said, "Are you amazed at the decree of Allah ? May the mercy of Allah and His blessings be upon you, people of the house. Indeed, He is Praiseworthy and Honorable."
قَالُوْۤا اَتَعْجَبِيْنَ مِنْ اَمْرِ اللّٰهِ رَحْمَتُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكٰتُهٗ عَلَيْكُمْ اَهْلَ الْبَيْتِۗ اِنَّهٗ حَمِيْدٌ مَّجِيْدٌ

And when the fright had left Abraham and the good tidings had reached him, he began to argue with Us concerning the people of Lot.
فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنْ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ الرَّوْعُ وَجَآءَتْهُ الْبُشْرٰى يُجَادِلُــنَا فِىْ قَوْمِ لُوْطٍۗ

Indeed, Abraham was forbearing, grieving and [frequently] returning [to Allah ].
اِنَّ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ لَحَـلِيْمٌ اَوَّاهٌ مُّنِيْبٌ

[The angels said], "O Abraham, give up this [plea]. Indeed, the command of your Lord has come, and indeed, there will reach them a punishment that cannot be repelled."
يٰۤـاِبْرٰهِيْمُ اَعْرِضْ عَنْ هٰذَا ۚ اِنَّهٗ قَدْ جَآءَ اَمْرُ رَبِّكَ ۚ وَاِنَّهُمْ اٰتِيْهِمْ عَذَابٌ غَيْرُ مَرْدُوْدٍ

And when Our messengers, [the angels], came to Lot, he was anguished for them and felt for them great discomfort and said, "This is a trying day."
وَلَمَّا جَآءَتْ رُسُلُـنَا لُوْطًا سِىْٓءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَّقَالَ هٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَصِيْبٌ

And his people came hastening to him, and before [this] they had been doing evil deeds. He said, "O my people, these are my daughters; they are purer for you. So fear Allah and do not disgrace me concerning my guests. Is there not among you a man of reason?"
وَجَآءَهٗ قَوْمُهٗ يُهْرَعُوْنَ اِلَيْهِ ۗ وَمِنْ قَبْلُ كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ السَّيِّاٰتِ ۗ قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ بَنٰتِىْ هُنَّ اَطْهَرُ لَـكُمْ ۚ فَاتَّقُوْا اللّٰهَ وَلَا تُخْزُوْنِ فِىْ ضَيْفِىْ ۗ اَلَيْسَ مِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَّشِيْدٌ

They said, "You have already known that we have not concerning your daughters any claim, and indeed, you know what we want."
قَالُوْا لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا لَـنَا فِىْ بَنٰتِكَ مِنْ حَقٍّ ۚ وَاِنَّكَ لَـتَعْلَمُ مَا نُرِيْدُ

He said, "If only I had against you some power or could take refuge in a strong support."
قَالَ لَوْ اَنَّ لِىْ بِكُمْ قُوَّةً اَوْ اٰوِىْۤ اِلٰى رُكْنٍ شَدِيْدٍ

The angels said, "O Lot, indeed we are messengers of your Lord; [therefore], they will never reach you. So set out with your family during a portion of the night and let not any among you look back - except your wife; indeed, she will be struck by that which strikes them. Indeed, their appointment is [for] the morning. Is not the morning near?"
قَالُوْا يٰلُوْطُ اِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَنْ يَّصِلُوْۤا اِلَيْكَ فَاَسْرِ بِاَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ الَّيْلِ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنْكُمْ اَحَدٌ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَكَۗ اِنَّهٗ مُصِيْبُهَا مَاۤ اَصَابَهُمْۗ اِنَّ مَوْعِدَهُمُ الصُّبْحُۗ اَلَيْسَ الصُّبْحُ بِقَرِيْبٍ

So when Our command came, We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of layered hard clay, [which were]
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا جَعَلْنَا عَالِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَاَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهَا حِجَارَةً مِّنْ سِجِّيْلٍۙ مَّنْضُوْدٍۙ

Marked from your Lord. And Allah 's punishment is not from the wrongdoers [very] far.
مُّسَوَّمَةً عِنْدَ رَبِّكَۗ وَ مَا هِىَ مِنَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ بِبَعِيْدٍ

And to Madyan [We sent] their brother Shu'ayb. He said, "O my people, worship Allah ; you have no deity other than Him. And do not decrease from the measure and the scale. Indeed, I see you in prosperity, but indeed, I fear for you the punishment of an all-encompassing Day.
وَاِلٰى مَدْيَنَ اَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًا ۗ قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَـكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗ ۗ وَلَا تَـنْقُصُوا الْمِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيْزَانَ اِنِّىْۤ اَرٰٮكُمْ بِخَيْرٍ وَّاِنِّىْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ مُّحِيْطٍ

And O my people, give full measure and weight in justice and do not deprive the people of their due and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption
وَيٰقَوْمِ اَوْفُوا الْمِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيْزَانَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ اَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِيْنَ

What remains [lawful] from Allah is best for you, if you would be believers. But I am not a guardian over you."
بَقِيَّتُ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ لَّـكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ ۚ وَمَاۤ اَنَاۡ عَلَيْكُمْ بِحَفِيْظٍ

They said, "O Shu'ayb, does your prayer command you that we should leave what our fathers worship or not do with our wealth what we please? Indeed, you are the forbearing, the discerning!"
قَالُوْا يٰشُعَيْبُ اَصَلٰوتُكَ تَأْمُرُكَ اَنْ نَّتْرُكَ مَا يَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَاۤ اَوْ اَنْ نَّـفْعَلَ فِىْۤ اَمْوَالِنَا مَا نَشٰٓؤُا ۗ اِنَّكَ لَاَنْتَ الْحَـلِيْمُ الرَّشِيْدُ

He said, "O my people, have you considered: if I am upon clear evidence from my Lord and He has provided me with a good provision from Him... ? And I do not intend to differ from you in that which I have forbidden you; I only intend reform as much as I am able. And my success is not but through Allah . Upon him I have relied, and to Him I return.
قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّىْ وَرَزَقَنِىْ مِنْهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًا ۗ وَمَاۤ اُرِيْدُ اَنْ اُخَالِفَكُمْ اِلٰى مَاۤ اَنْهٰٮكُمْ عَنْهُ ۗ اِنْ اُرِيْدُ اِلَّا الْاِصْلَاحَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ ۗ وَمَا تَوْفِيْقِىْۤ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ ۗ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَاِلَيْهِ اُنِيْبُ

And O my people, let not [your] dissension from me cause you to be struck by that similar to what struck the people of Noah or the people of Hud or the people of Salih. And the people of Lot are not from you far away.
وَيٰقَوْمِ لَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شِقَاقِىْۤ اَنْ يُّصِيْبَكُمْ مِّثْلُ مَاۤ اَصَابَ قَوْمَ نُوْحٍ اَوْ قَوْمَ هُوْدٍ اَوْ قَوْمَ صٰلِحٍۗ وَمَا قَوْمُ لُوْطٍ مِّنْكُمْ بِبَعِيْدٍ

And ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is Merciful and Affectionate."
وَاسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَيْهِۗ اِنَّ رَبِّىْ رَحِيْمٌ وَّدُوْدٌ

They said, "O Shu'ayb, we do not understand much of what you say, and indeed, we consider you among us as weak. And if not for your family, we would have stoned you [to death]; and you are not to us one respected."
قَالُوْا يٰشُعَيْبُ مَا نَفْقَهُ كَثِيْرًا مِّمَّا تَقُوْلُ وَاِنَّا لَـنَرٰٮكَ فِيْنَا ضَعِيْفًا ۚ وَلَوْلَا رَهْطُكَ لَرَجَمْنٰكَۖ وَمَاۤ اَنْتَ عَلَيْنَا بِعَزِيْزٍ

He said, "O my people, is my family more respected for power by you than Allah ? But you put Him behind your backs [in neglect]. Indeed, my Lord is encompassing of what you do.
قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَرَهْطِىْۤ اَعَزُّ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ۗ وَ اتَّخَذْتُمُوْهُ وَرَآءَكُمْ ظِهْرِيًّا ۗ اِنَّ رَبِّىْ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ مُحِيْطٌ

And O my people, work according to your position; indeed, I am working. You are going to know to whom will come a punishment that will disgrace him and who is a liar. So watch; indeed, I am with you a watcher, [awaiting the outcome]."
وَيٰقَوْمِ اعْمَلُوْا عَلٰى مَكَانَتِكُمْ اِنِّىْ عَامِلٌ ۗ سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۙ مَنْ يَّأْتِيْهِ عَذَابٌ يُّخْزِيْهِ وَمَنْ هُوَ كَاذِبٌ ۗ وَارْتَقِبُوْۤا اِنِّىْ مَعَكُمْ رَقِيْبٌ

And when Our command came, We saved Shu'ayb and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us. And the shriek seized those who had wronged, and they became within their homes [corpses] fallen prone
وَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا شُعَيْبًا وَّالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا ۚ وَاَخَذَتِ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّيْحَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِىْ دِيَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِيْنَۙ

As if they had never prospered therein. Then, away with Madyan as Thamud was taken away.
كَاَنْ لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيْهَا ۗ اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّمَدْيَنَ كَمَا بَعِدَتْ ثَمُوْدُ

And We did certainly send Moses with Our signs and a clear authority
وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مُوْسٰى بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِيْنٍۙ

To Pharaoh and his establishment, but they followed the command of Pharaoh, and the command of Pharaoh was not [at all] discerning.
اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَاۡ ٮِٕهٖ فَاتَّبَعُوْۤا اَمْرَ فِرْعَوْنَۚ وَمَاۤ اَمْرُ فِرْعَوْنَ بِرَشِيْدٍ

He will precede his people on the Day of Resurrection and lead them into the Fire; and wretched is the place to which they are led.
يَقْدُمُ قَوْمَهٗ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ فَاَوْرَدَهُمُ النَّارَۗ وَبِئْسَ الْوِرْدُ الْمَوْرُوْدُ

And they were followed in this [world] with a curse and on the Day of Resurrection. And wretched is the gift which is given.
وَاُتْبِعُوْا فِىْ هٰذِهٖ لَـعْنَةً وَّيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ ۗ بِئْسَ الرِّفْدُ الْمَرْفُوْدُ

That is from the news of the cities, which We relate to you; of them, some are [still] standing and some are [as] a harvest [mowed down].
ذٰ لِكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ الْـقُرٰى نَقُصُّهٗ عَلَيْكَ مِنْهَا قَآٮِٕمٌ وَّحَصِيْدٌ

And We did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves. And they were not availed at all by their gods which they invoked other than Allah when there came the command of your Lord. And they did not increase them in other than ruin.
وَمَا ظَلَمْنٰهُمْ وَلٰـكِنْ ظَلَمُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ فَمَاۤ اَغْنَتْ عَنْهُمْ اٰلِهَتُهُمُ الَّتِىْ يَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَىْءٍ لَّمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُ رَبِّكَۗ وَمَا زَادُوْهُمْ غَيْرَ تَتْبِيْبٍ

And thus is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes the cities while they are committing wrong. Indeed, His seizure is painful and severe.
وَكَذٰلِكَ اَخْذُ رَبِّكَ اِذَاۤ اَخَذَ الْقُرٰى وَهِىَ ظَالِمَةٌ ۗ اِنَّ اَخْذَهٗۤ اَلِيْمٌ شَدِيْدٌ

Indeed in that is a sign for those who fear the punishment of the Hereafter. That is a Day for which the people will be collected, and that is a Day [which will be] witnessed.
اِنَّ فِىْ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّمَنْ خَافَ عَذَابَ الْاٰخِرَةِ ۗ ذٰ لِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّجْمُوْعٌ ۙ لَّهُ النَّاسُ وَذٰ لِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّشْهُوْدٌ

And We do not delay it except for a limited term.
وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهٗۤ اِلَّا لِاَجَلٍ مَّعْدُوْدٍۗ

The Day it comes no soul will speak except by His permission. And among them will be the wretched and the prosperous.
يَوْمَ يَأْتِ لَا تَكَلَّمُ نَفْسٌ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِهٖۚ فَمِنْهُمْ شَقِىٌّ وَّسَعِيْدٌ

As for those who were [destined to be] wretched, they will be in the Fire. For them therein is [violent] exhaling and inhaling.
فَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ شَقُوْا فَفِى النَّارِ لَهُمْ فِيْهَا زَفِيْرٌ وَّشَهِيْقٌ ۙ

[They will be] abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except what your Lord should will. Indeed, your Lord is an effecter of what He intends.
خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالْاَرْضُ اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَ ۗ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيْدُ

And as for those who were [destined to be] prosperous, they will be in Paradise, abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except what your Lord should will - a bestowal uninterrupted.
وَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ سُعِدُوْا فَفِى الْجَـنَّةِ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالْاَرْضُ اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَ ۗ عَطَآءً غَيْرَ مَجْذُوْذٍ

So do not be in doubt, [O Muhammad], as to what these [polytheists] are worshipping. They worship not except as their fathers worshipped before. And indeed, We will give them their share undiminished.
فَلَا تَكُ فِىْ مِرْيَةٍ مِّمَّا يَعْبُدُ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ ۗ مَا يَعْبُدُوْنَ اِلَّا كَمَا يَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُهُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُۗ وَاِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوْهُمْ نَصِيْبَهُمْ غَيْرَ مَنْقُوْصٍ

And We had certainly given Moses the Scripture, but it came under disagreement. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them. And indeed they are, concerning the Qur'an, in disquieting doubt.
وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فِيْهِ ۗ وَ لَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ لَـقُضِىَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۗ وَاِنَّهُمْ لَفِىْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيْبٍ

And indeed, each [of the believers and disbelievers] - your Lord will fully compensate them for their deeds. Indeed, He is Acquainted with what they do.
وَاِنَّ كُلًّا لَّمَّا لَيُوَفِّيَنَّهُمْ رَبُّكَ اَعْمَالَهُمْ ۗ اِنَّهٗ بِمَا يَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِيْرٌ

So remain on a right course as you have been commanded, [you] and those who have turned back with you [to Allah ], and do not transgress. Indeed, He is Seeing of what you do.
فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَاۤ اُمِرْتَ وَمَنْ تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلَا تَطْغَوْا ۗ اِنَّهٗ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِيْرٌ

And do not incline toward those who do wrong, lest you be touched by the Fire, and you would not have other than Allah any protectors; then you would not be helped.
وَلَا تَرْكَنُوْۤا اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُۙ وَمَا لَـكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ اَوْلِيَآءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْصَرُوْنَ

And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the night. Indeed, good deeds do away with misdeeds. That is a reminder for those who remember.
وَاَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ طَرَفَىِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَـفًا مِّنَ الَّيْلِ ۗ اِنَّ الْحَسَنٰتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّاٰتِ ۗ ذٰ لِكَ ذِكْرٰى لِلذّٰكِرِيْنَ ۚ

And be patient, for indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good.
وَاصْبِرْ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُضِيْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ

So why were there not among the generations before you those of enduring discrimination forbidding corruption on earth - except a few of those We saved from among them? But those who wronged pursued what luxury they were given therein, and they were criminals.
فَلَوْ لَا كَانَ مِنَ الْقُرُوْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ اُولُوْا بَقِيَّةٍ يَّـنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْفَسَادِ فِى الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا مِّمَّنْ اَنْجَيْنَا مِنْهُمْ ۚ وَاتَّبَعَ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مَاۤ اُتْرِفُوْا فِيْهِ وَكَانُوْا مُجْرِمِيْنَ

And your Lord would not have destroyed the cities unjustly while their people were reformers.
وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهْلِكَ الْقُرٰى بِظُلْمٍ وَّاَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُوْنَ

And if your Lord had willed, He could have made mankind one community; but they will not cease to differ.
وَلَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَـعَلَ النَّاسَ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً وَّلَا يَزَالُوْنَ مُخْتَلِفِيْنَۙ

Except whom your Lord has given mercy, and for that He created them. But the word of your Lord is to be fulfilled that, "I will surely fill Hell with jinn and men all together."
اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَ ۗ وَلِذٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمْ ۗ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَاَمْلَـئَنَّ جَهَـنَّمَ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ اَجْمَعِيْنَ

And each [story] We relate to you from the news of the messengers is that by which We make firm your heart. And there has come to you, in this, the truth and an instruction and a reminder for the believers.
وَكُلًّا نَّقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ الرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهٖ فُؤَادَكَ ۚ وَجَآءَكَ فِىْ هٰذِهِ الْحَـقُّ وَمَوْعِظَةٌ وَّذِكْرٰى لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

And say to those who do not believe, "Work according to your position; indeed, we are working.
وَقُلْ لِّـلَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ اعْمَلُوْا عَلٰى مَكَانَتِكُمْۗ اِنَّا عٰمِلُوْنَۙ

And wait, indeed, we are waiting
وَانْـتَظِرُوْا ۚ اِنَّا مُنْتَظِرُوْنَ

And to Allah belong the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth and to Him will be returned the matter, all of it, so worship Him and rely upon Him. And your Lord is not unaware of that which you do.
وَلِلّٰهِ غَيْبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَاِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُ الْاَمْرُ كُلُّهٗ فَاعْبُدْهُ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَيْهِۗ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ
