طٰسٓمّٓ

These are the verses of the clear Book.
تِلْكَ اٰيٰتُ الْكِتٰبِ الْمُبِيْنِ

Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.
لَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّـفْسَكَ اَ لَّا يَكُوْنُوْا مُؤْمِنِيْنَ

If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.
اِنْ نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ اٰيَةً فَظَلَّتْ اَعْنَاقُهُمْ لَهَا خٰضِعِيْنَ

And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.
وَمَا يَأْتِيْهِمْ مِّنْ ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ اِلَّا كَانُوْا عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِيْنَ

For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule
فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوْا فَسَيَأْتِيْهِمْ اَنْۢـبٰٓــؤُا مَا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ

Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?
اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اِلَى الْاَرْضِ كَمْ اَنْۢبَتْنَا فِيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيْمٍ

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
اِنَّ فِىْ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيَةً ۗ وَّمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الرَّحِيْمُ

And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -
وَاِذْ نَادٰى رَبُّكَ مُوْسٰۤى اَنِ ائْتِ الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَۙ

The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah ?"
قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَۗ اَلَا يَتَّقُوْنَ

He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me
قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّىْۤ اَخَافُ اَنْ يُّكَذِّبُوْنِۗ

And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.
وَيَضِيْقُ صَدْرِىْ وَلَا يَنْطَلِقُ لِسَانِىْ فَاَرْسِلْ اِلٰى هٰرُوْنَ

And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me.
وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنْۢبٌ فَاَخَافُ اَنْ يَّقْتُلُوْنِۚ

[ Allah ] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.
قَالَ كَلَّا ۚ فَاذْهَبَا بِاٰيٰتِنَآ اِنَّا مَعَكُمْ مُّسْتَمِعُوْنَ

Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,
فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُوْلَاۤ اِنَّا رَسُوْلُ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَۙ

[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"
اَنْ اَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىْۤ اِسْرَآءِيْلَ ۗ

Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?
قَالَ اَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِيْنَا وَلِيْدًا وَّلَبِثْتَ فِيْنَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِيْنَۙ

And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."
وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ الَّتِىْ فَعَلْتَ وَاَنْتَ مِنَ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ

[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray.
قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَاۤ اِذًا وَّاَنَاۡ مِنَ الضَّآلِّيْنَۗ

So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and prophethood and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.
فَفَرَرْتُ مِنْكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِىْ رَبِّىْ حُكْمًا وَّجَعَلَنِىْ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ

And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"
وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ اَنْ عَبَّدْتَّ بَنِىْۤ اِسْرَآءِيْلَ ۗ

Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"
قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَۗ

[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."
قَالَ رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَاۗ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّوْقِنِيْنَ

[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"
قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهٗۤ اَلَا تَسْتَمِعُوْنَ

[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."
قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ اٰبَآٮِٕكُمُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ

[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."
قَالَ اِنَّ رَسُوْلَـكُمُ الَّذِىْۤ اُرْسِلَ اِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُوْنٌ

[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."
قَالَ رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۗ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ

[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."
قَالَ لَٮِٕنِ اتَّخَذْتَ اِلٰهًا غَيْرِىْ لَاَجْعَلَـنَّكَ مِنَ الْمَسْجُوْنِيْنَ

[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest?"
قَالَ اَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍ مُّبِيْنٍۚ

[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."
قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهٖۤ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ

So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.
فَاَ لْقٰى عَصَاهُ فَاِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ۚ

And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.
وَّنَزَعَ يَدَهٗ فَاِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنّٰظِرِيْنَ

[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.
قَالَ لِلْمَلَاِ حَوْلَهٗۤ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَسٰحِرٌ عَلِيْمٌۙ

e wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"
يُّرِيْدُ اَنْ يُّخْرِجَكُمْ مِّنْ اَرْضِكُمْ بِسِحْرِهٖ ۖ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُوْنَ

They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
قَالُوْۤا اَرْجِهْ وَاَخَاهُ وَابْعَثْ فِى الْمَدَآٮِٕنِ حٰشِرِيْنَۙ

Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."
يَأْتُوْكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيْمٍ

So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.
فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِمِيْقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُوْمٍۙ

And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate
وَّقِيْلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ اَنْـتُمْ مُّجْتَمِعُوْنَۙ

That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"
لَعَلَّنَا نَـتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ اِنْ كَانُوْا هُمُ الْغٰلِبِيْنَ

And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوْا لِفِرْعَوْنَ اَٮِٕنَّ لَـنَا لَاَجْرًا اِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغٰلِبِيْنَ

He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَاِنَّكُمْ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِيْنَ

Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."
قَالَ لَهُمْ مُّوْسٰۤى اَلْقُوْا مَاۤ اَنْتُمْ مُّلْقُوْنَ

So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."
فَاَلْقَوْا حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوْا بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّا لَـنَحْنُ الْغٰلِبُوْنَ

Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.
فَاَ لْقٰى مُوْسٰى عَصَاهُ فَاِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُوْنَ ۚ

So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah ].
فَاُلْقِىَ السَّحَرَةُ سٰجِدِيْنَۙ

They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,
قَالُوْۤا اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَۙ

The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
رَبِّ مُوْسٰى وَهٰرُوْنَ

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed Moses before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."
قَالَ اٰمَنْتُمْ لَهٗ قَبْلَ اَنْ اٰذَنَ لَـكُمْۚ اِنَّهٗ لَـكَبِيْرُكُمُ الَّذِىْ عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَۚ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۙ لَاُقَطِّعَنَّ اَيْدِيَكُمْ وَاَرْجُلَـكُمْ مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَّلَاُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَۚ

They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.
قَالُوْا لَا ضَيْرَۖ اِنَّاۤ اِلٰى رَبِّنَا مُنْقَلِبُوْنَۚ

Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."
اِنَّا نَطْمَعُ اَنْ يَّغْفِرَ لَـنَا رَبُّنَا خَطٰيٰـنَاۤ اَنْ كُنَّاۤ اَوَّلَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَۗ

And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."
وَاَوْحَيْنَاۤ اِلٰى مُوْسٰٓى اَنْ اَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىْۤ اِنَّكُمْ مُّتَّبَعُوْنَ

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers
فَاَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى الْمَدَآٮِٕنِ حٰشِرِيْنَۚ

[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band,
اِنَّ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيْلُوْنَۙ

And indeed, they are enraging us,
وَاِنَّهُمْ لَـنَا لَـغَآٮِٕظُوْنَۙ

And indeed, we are a cautious society... "
وَاِنَّا لَجَمِيْعٌ حٰذِرُوْنَۗ

So We removed them from gardens and springs
فَاَخْرَجْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُيُوْنٍۙ

And treasures and honorable station -
وَّكُنُوْزٍ وَّمَقَامٍ كَرِيْمٍۙ

Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.
كَذٰلِكَۗ وَاَوْرَثْنٰهَا بَنِىْۤ اِسْرَآءِيْلَۗ

So they pursued them at sunrise.
فَاَ تْبَعُوْهُمْ مُّشْرِقِيْنَ

And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"
فَلَمَّا تَرَآءَ الْجَمْعٰنِ قَالَ اَصْحٰبُ مُوْسٰٓى اِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُوْنَۚ

[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."
قَالَ كَلَّا ۚ اِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّىْ سَيَهْدِيْنِ

Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.
فَاَوْحَيْنَاۤ اِلٰى مُوْسٰٓى اَنِ اضْرِبْ بِّعَصَاكَ الْبَحْرَۗ فَانْفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَالطَّوْدِ الْعَظِيْمِۚ

And We advanced thereto the pursuers.
وَاَزْلَـفْنَا ثَمَّ الْاٰخَرِيْنَۚ

And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.
وَاَنْجَيْنَا مُوْسٰى وَمَنْ مَّعَهٗۤ اَجْمَعِيْنَۚ

Then We drowned the others
ثُمَّ اَغْرَقْنَا الْاٰخَرِيْنَۗ

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
اِنَّ فِىْ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيَةً ۗ وَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الرَّحِيْمُ

And recite to them the news of Abraham,
وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَاَ اِبْرٰهِيْمَۘ

When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?"
اِذْ قَالَ لِاَبِيْهِ وَقَوْمِهٖ مَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ

They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."
قَالُوْا نَـعْبُدُ اَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عٰكِفِيْنَ

He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?
قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُوْنَكُمْ اِذْ تَدْعُوْنَۙ

Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"
اَوْ يَنْفَعُوْنَكُمْ اَوْ يَضُرُّوْنَ

They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."
قَالُوْا بَلْ وَجَدْنَاۤ اٰبَآءَنَا كَذٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُوْنَ

He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,
قَالَ اَفَرَءَيْتُمْ مَّا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُوْنَۙ

You and your ancient forefathers?
اَنْـتُمْ وَاٰبَآؤُكُمُ الْاَقْدَمُوْنَ ۙ

Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,
فَاِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِّىْۤ اِلَّا رَبَّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَۙ

Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me.
الَّذِىْ خَلَقَنِىْ فَهُوَ يَهْدِيْنِۙ

And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.
وَ الَّذِىْ هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِىْ وَيَسْقِيْنِۙ

And when I am ill, it is He who cures me
وَاِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِيْنِ ۙ

And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life
وَالَّذِىْ يُمِيْتُنِىْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيْنِۙ

And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense."
وَالَّذِىْۤ اَطْمَعُ اَنْ يَّغْفِرَ لِىْ خَطِٓیْــَٔـتِىْ يَوْمَ الدِّيْنِ ۗ

[And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous.
رَبِّ هَبْ لِىْ حُكْمًا وَّاَلْحِقْنِىْ بِالصّٰلِحِيْنَۙ

Ae2tdPwUPEZBXe4ArTs3n9FaZKvvHJNZyamUNMuycAVeCc3SBQdnhHLQZHA
وَاجْعَلْ لِّىْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِى الْاٰخِرِيْنَۙ

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure.
وَاجْعَلْنِىْ مِنْ وَّرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعِيْمِۙ

And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray.
وَاغْفِرْ لِاَبِىْۤ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ مِنَ الضَّآلِّيْنَۙ

And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected -
وَلَا تُخْزِنِىْ يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُوْنَۙ

The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children
يَوْمَ لَا يَنْفَعُ مَالٌ وَّلَا بَنُوْنَۙ

But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart."
اِلَّا مَنْ اَتَى اللّٰهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيْمٍۗ

And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous.
وَاُزْلِفَتِ الْجَـنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَۙ

And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators,
وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيْمُ لِلْغٰوِيْنَۙ

And it will be said to them, "Where are those you used to worship
وَقِيْلَ لَهُمْ اَيْنَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُوْنَۙ

Other than Allah ? Can they help you or help themselves?"
مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِۗ هَلْ يَنْصُرُوْنَكُمْ اَوْ يَنْتَصِرُوْنَۗ

So they will be overturned into Hellfire, they and the deviators
فَكُبْكِبُوْا فِيْهَا هُمْ وَالْغَاوٗنَۙ

And the soldiers of Iblees, all together.
وَجُنُوْدُ اِبْلِيْسَ اَجْمَعُوْنَۗ

They will say while they dispute therein,
قَالُوْا وَهُمْ فِيْهَا يَخْتَصِمُوْنَۙ

"By Allah, we were indeed in manifest error
تَاللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنَّا لَفِىْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍۙ

When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds.
اِذْ نُسَوِّيْكُمْ بِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

And no one misguided us except the criminals.
وَمَاۤ اَضَلَّنَاۤ اِلَّا الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ

So now we have no intercessors
فَمَا لَـنَا مِنْ شٰفِعِيْنَۙ

And not a devoted friend.
وَلَا صَدِيْقٍ حَمِيْمٍ

Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers...
فَلَوْ اَنَّ لَـنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
اِنَّ فِىْ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيَةً ۗ وَّمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الرَّحِيْمُ

The people of Noah denied the messengers
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوْحِ لْمُرْسَلِيْنَ ۚ

When their brother Noah said to them, "Will you not fear Allah ?
اِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ اَخُوْهُمْ نُوْحٌ اَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَۚ

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
اِنِّىْ لَـكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ اَمِيْنٌۙ

So fear Allah and obey me.
فَاتَّقُوْا اللّٰهَ وَ اَطِيْعُوْنِۚ

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds
وَمَاۤ اَسْـــَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ اَجْرٍۚ اِنْ اَجْرِىَ اِلَّا عَلٰى رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَۚ

So fear Allah and obey me."
فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيْعُوْنِ ۗ

They said, "Should we believe you while you are followed by the lowest [class of people]?"
قَالُوْۤا اَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَاتَّبَعَكَ الْاَرْذَلُوْنَۗ

He said, "And what is my knowledge of what they used to do?
قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِىْ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَۚ

Their account is only upon my Lord, if you [could] perceive.
اِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ اِلَّا عَلٰى رَبِّىْ لَوْ تَشْعُرُوْنَۚ

And I am not one to drive away the believers.
وَمَاۤ اَنَاۡ بِطَارِدِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَۚ

I am only a clear warner."
اِنْ اَنَاۡ اِلَّا نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌۗ

They said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned."
قَالُوْا لَٮِٕنْ لَّمْ تَنْتَهِ يٰـنُوْحُ لَـتَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الْمَرْجُوْمِيْنَۗ

He said, "My Lord, indeed my people have denied me.
قَالَ رَبِّ اِنَّ قَوْمِىْ كَذَّبُوْنِ ۖ

Then judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers."
فَافْتَحْ بَيْنِىْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًا وَّنَجِّنِىْ وَمَنْ مَّعِىَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

So We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.
فَاَنْجَيْنٰهُ وَمَنْ مَّعَهٗ فِى الْـفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُوْنِۚ

Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones
ثُمَّ اَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ الْبٰقِيْنَۗ

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
اِنَّ فِىْ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيَةً ۗ وَّمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
وَ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الرَّحِيْمُ

'Aad denied the messengers
كَذَّبَتْ عَادُ لْمُرْسَلِيْنَ ۖ

When their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not fear Allah ?
اِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ اَخُوْهُمْ هُوْدٌ اَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَۚ

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
اِنِّىْ لَـكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ اَمِيْنٌۙ

So fear Allah and obey me.
فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيْعُوْنِ ۚ

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
وَمَاۤ اَسْــَٔـلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ اَجْرٍۚ اِنْ اَجْرِىَ اِلَّا عَلٰى رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۗ

Do you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves,
اَتَبْنُوْنَ بِكُلِّ رِيْعٍ اٰيَةً تَعْبَثُوْنَۙ

And take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally?
وَ تَتَّخِذُوْنَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُوْنَۚ

And when you strike, you strike as tyrants.
وَاِذَا بَطَشْتُمْ بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِيْنَۚ

So fear Allah and obey me.
فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيْعُوْنِ ۚ

And fear He who provided you with that which you know,
وَاتَّقُوْا الَّذِىْۤ اَمَدَّكُمْ بِمَا تَعْلَمُوْنَۚ

Provided you with grazing livestock and children
اَمَدَّكُمْ بِاَنْعَامٍ وَّبَنِيْنَ ۙ

And gardens and springs.
وَجَنّٰتٍ وَّعُيُوْنٍۚ

Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day."
اِنِّىْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيْمٍۗ

They said, "It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors.
قَالُوْا سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَاۤ اَوَعَظْتَ اَمْ لَمْ تَكُنْ مِّنَ الْوٰعِظِيْنَۙ

This is not but the custom of the former peoples,
اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا خُلُقُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَۙ

And we are not to be punished."
وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِيْنَۚ

And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
فَكَذَّبُوْهُ فَاَهْلَـكْنٰهُمْ ۗ اِنَّ فِىْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً ۗ وَ مَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الرَّحِيْمُ

Thamud denied the messengers
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُوْدُ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ ۖ

When their brother Salih said to them, "Will you not fear Allah ?
اِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ اَخُوْهُمْ صٰلِحٌ اَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَۚ

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
اِنِّىْ لَـكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ اَمِيْنٌۙ

So fear Allah and obey me.
فَاتَّقُوْا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيْعُوْنِۚ

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
وَمَاۤ اَسْــَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ اَجْرٍۚ اِنْ اَجْرِىَ اِلَّا عَلٰى رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَۗ

Will you be left in what is here, secure [from death],
اَتُتْرَكُوْنَ فِىْ مَا هٰهُنَاۤ اٰمِنِيْنَۙ

Within gardens and springs
فِىْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُيُوْنٍۙ

And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit?
وَّزُرُوْعٍ وَّنَخْلٍ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيْمٌۚ

And you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill.
وَتَـنْحِتُوْنَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوْتًا فٰرِهِيْنَۚ

So fear Allah and obey me.
فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيْعُوْنِ ۚ

And do not obey the order of the transgressors,
وَلَا تُطِيْعُوْۤا اَمْرَ الْمُسْرِفِيْنَۙ

Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend."
الَّذِيْنَ يُفْسِدُوْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَ لَا يُصْلِحُوْنَ

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.
قَالُوْۤا اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِيْنَۚ

You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful."
مَاۤ اَنْتَ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُـنَا ۙ فَأْتِ بِاٰيَةٍ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ

He said, "This is a she-camel. For her is a [time of] drink, and for you is a [time of] drink, [each] on a known day.
قَالَ هٰذِهٖ نَاقَةٌ لَّهَا شِرْبٌ وَّلَـكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُوْمٍۚ

And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day."
وَلَا تَمَسُّوْهَا بِسُوْٓءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيْمٍ

But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.
فَعَقَرُوْهَا فَاَصْبَحُوْا نٰدِمِيْنَۙ

And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
فَاَخَذَهُمُ الْعَذَابُۗ اِنَّ فِىْ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيَةً ۗ وَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الرَّحِيْمُ

The people of Lot denied the messengers
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوْطٍ لْمُرْسَلِيْنَ ۖ

When their brother Lot said to them, "Will you not fear Allah ?
اِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ اَخُوْهُمْ لُوْطٌ اَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَۚ

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
اِنِّىْ لَـكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ اَمِيْنٌۙ

So fear Allah and obey me.
فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيْعُوْنِۚ

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
وَمَاۤ اَسْــَٔـلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ اَجْرٍۚ اِنْ اَجْرِىَ اِلَّا عَلٰى رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۗ

Do you approach males among the worlds
اَتَأْتُوْنَ الذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ الْعٰلَمِيْنَۙ

And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing."
وَ تَذَرُوْنَ مَا خَلَقَ لَـكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ مِّنْ اَزْوَاجِكُمْۗ بَلْ اَنْـتُمْ قَوْمٌ عٰدُوْنَ

They said, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted."
قَالُوْا لَٮِٕنْ لَّمْ تَنْتَهِ يٰلُوْطُ لَـتَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الْمُخْرَجِيْنَ

He said, "Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest [it].
قَالَ اِنِّىْ لِعَمَلِكُمْ مِّنَ الْقَالِيْنَۗ

My Lord, save me and my family from [the consequence of] what they do."
رَبِّ نَجِّنِىْ وَاَهْلِىْ مِمَّا يَعْمَلُوْنَ

So We saved him and his family, all,
فَنَجَّيْنٰهُ وَ اَهْلَهٗۤ اَجْمَعِيْنَۙ

Except an old woman among those who remained behind.
اِلَّا عَجُوْزًا فِى الْغٰبِرِيْنَۚ

Then We destroyed the others.
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْاٰخَرِيْنَۚ

And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.
وَاَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ مَّطَرًاۚ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ الْمُنْذَرِيْنَ

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
اِنَّ فِىْ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيَةً ۗ وَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الرَّحِيْمُ

The companions of the thicket denied the messengers
كَذَّبَ اَصْحٰبُ لْئَيْكَةِ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ ۖ

When Shu'ayb said to them, "Will you not fear Allah ?
اِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ اَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَۚ

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
اِنِّىْ لَـكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ اَمِيْنٌۙ

So fear Allah and obey me.
فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيْعُوْنِۚ

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
وَمَاۤ اَسْـَٔـــلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ اَجْرٍۚ اِنْ اَجْرِىَ اِلَّا عَلٰى رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۗ

Give full measure and do not be of those who cause loss.
اَوْفُوا الْـكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُوْنُوْا مِنَ الْمُخْسِرِيْنَۚ

And weigh with an even balance.
وَزِنُوْا بِالْقِسْطَاسِ الْمُسْتَقِيْمِۚ

And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption.
وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ اَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِيْنَۚ

And fear He who created you and the former creation."
وَاتَّقُوا الَّذِىْ خَلَقَكُمْ وَالْجِـبِلَّةَ الْاَوَّلِيْنَۗ

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.
قَالُوْۤا اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِيْنَۙ

You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars.
وَمَاۤ اَنْتَ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُـنَا وَ اِنْ نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ الْكٰذِبِيْنَۚ

So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful."
فَاَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَۗ

He said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do."
قَالَ رَبِّىْۤ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ

And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day.
فَكَذَّبُوْهُ فَاَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ الظُّلَّةِۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيْمٍ

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
اِنَّ فِىْ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيَةً ۗ وَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الرَّحِيْمُ

And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.
وَاِنَّهٗ لَـتَنْزِيْلُ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَۗ

The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down
نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوْحُ الْاَمِيْنُۙ

Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners -
عَلٰى قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُنْذِرِيْنَۙ

In a clear Arabic language.
بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّ مُّبِيْنٍۗ

And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.
وَاِنَّهٗ لَفِىْ زُبُرِ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ

And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?
اَوَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَّهُمْ اٰيَةً اَنْ يَّعْلَمَهٗ عُلَمٰٓؤُا بَنِىْۤ اِسْرَآءِيْلَۗ

And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners
وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنٰهُ عَلٰى بَعْضِ الْاَعْجَمِيْنَۙ

And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.
فَقَرَاَهٗ عَلَيْهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ مُؤْمِنِيْنَۗ

Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals.
كَذٰلِكَ سَلَكْنٰهُ فِىْ قُلُوْبِ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَۗ

They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.
لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖ حَتّٰى يَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْاَلِيْمَۙ

And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.
فَيَأْتِيَهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَّهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَۙ

And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"
فَيَـقُوْلُوْا هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنْظَرُوْنَۗ

So for Our punishment are they impatient?
اَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَ

Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years
اَفَرَءَيْتَ اِنْ مَّتَّعْنٰهُمْ سِنِيْنَۙ

And then there came to them that which they were promised?
ثُمَّ جَآءَهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يُوْعَدُوْنَۙ

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.
مَاۤ اَغْنٰى عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يُمَتَّعُوْنَۗ

And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners
وَمَاۤ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ اِلَّا لَهَا مُنْذِرُوْنَ ۖ

As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.
ذِكْرٰى ۚ وَمَا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيْنَ

And the devils have not brought the revelation down.
وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ الشَّيٰطِيْنُ

It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.
وَمَا يَنْۢبَغِىْ لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَۗ

Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.
اِنَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُوْلُوْنَۗ

So do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished.
فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَ فَتَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُعَذَّبِيْنَۚ

And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred.
وَاَنْذِرْ عَشِيْرَتَكَ الْاَقْرَبِيْنَۙ

And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers.
وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَۚ

And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."
فَاِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ اِنِّىْ بَرِىْٓءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَۚ

And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,
وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْعَزِيْزِ الرَّحِيْمِۙ

Who sees you when you arise
الَّذِىْ يَرٰٮكَ حِيْنَ تَقُوْمُۙ

And your movement among those who prostrate.
وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى السّٰجِدِيْنَ

Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?
هَلْ اُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلٰى مَنْ تَنَزَّلُ الشَّيٰـطِيْنُۗ

They descend upon every sinful liar.
تَنَزَّلُ عَلٰى كُلِّ اَفَّاكٍ اَثِيْمٍۙ

They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.
يُّلْقُوْنَ السَّمْعَ وَاَكْثَرُهُمْ كٰذِبُوْنَۗ

And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them;
وَالشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوٗنَۗ

Do you not see that in every valley they roam
اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّهُمْ فِىْ كُلِّ وَادٍ يَّهِيْمُوْنَۙ

And that they say what they do not do? -
وَاَنَّهُمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُوْنَۙ

Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.
اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللّٰهَ كَثِيْرًا وَّانْتَصَرُوْا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوْا ۗ وَسَيَـعْلَمُ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْۤا اَىَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَّـنْقَلِبُوْنَ
