Day 15 of 30

وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا

And We have not sent you but as a giver of good news and as a warner.

قُلْ مَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِلَّا مَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا

Say: I do not ask you aught in return except that he who will, may take the way to his Lord.

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِهِ وَكَفَى بِهِ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِ خَبِيرًا

And rely on the Ever-living Who dies not, and celebrate His praise; and Sufficient is He as being aware of the faults of His servants,

الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ الرَّحْمَنُ فَاسْأَلْ بِهِ خَبِيرًا

Who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six periods, and He is firmly established on the throne of authority; the Beneficent Allah, so ask respecting it one aware.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ اسْجُدُوا لِلرَّحْمَنِ قَالُوا وَمَا الرَّحْمَنُ أَنَسْجُدُ لِمَا تَأْمُرُنَا وَزَادَهُمْ نُفُورًا

And when it is said to them: Prostrate to the Beneficent Allah, they say: And what is the Allah of beneficence? Shall we prostrate to what you bid us? And it adds to their aversion.

تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي السَّمَاءِ بُرُوجًا وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا سِرَاجًا وَقَمَرًا مُنِيرًا

Blessed is He Who made the constellations in the heavens and made therein a lamp and a shining moon.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ خِلْفَةً لِمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَذَّكَّرَ أَوْ أَرَادَ شُكُورًا

And He it is Who made the night and the day to follow each other for him who desires to be mindful or desires to be thankful.

وَعِبَادُ الرَّحْمَنِ الَّذِينَ يَمْشُونَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ هَوْنًا وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ الْجَاهِلُونَ قَالُوا سَلَامًا

And the servants of the Beneficent Allah are they who walk on the earth in humbleness, and when the ignorant address them, they say: Peace.

وَالَّذِينَ يَبِيتُونَ لِرَبِّهِمْ سُجَّدًا وَقِيَامًا

And they who pass the night prostrating themselves before their Lord and standing.

وَالَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا اصْرِفْ عَنَّا عَذَابَ جَهَنَّمَ إِنَّ عَذَابَهَا كَانَ غَرَامًا

And they who say: O our Lord! turn away from us the punishment of hell, surely the punishment thereof is a lasting

إِنَّهَا سَاءَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَمُقَامًا

Surely it is an evil abode and (evil) place to stay.

وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا أَنْفَقُوا لَمْ يُسْرِفُوا وَلَمْ يَقْتُرُوا وَكَانَ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ قَوَامًا

And they who when they spend, are neither extravagant nor parsimonious, and (keep) between these the just mean.

وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ يَلْقَ أَثَامًا

And they who do not call upon another god with Allah and do not slay the soul, which Allah has forbidden except in the requirements of justice, and (who) do not commit fornication and he who does this shall find a requital of sin;

يُضَاعَفْ لَهُ الْعَذَابُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيَخْلُدْ فِيهِ مُهَانًا

The punishment shall be doubled to him on the day of resurrection, and he shall abide therein in abasement;

إِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا فَأُولَئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا

Except him who repents and believes and does a good deed; so these are they of whom Allah changes the evil deeds to good ones; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

وَمَنْ تَابَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَإِنَّهُ يَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مَتَابًا

And whoever repents and does good, he surely turns to Allah a (goodly) turning.

وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَشْهَدُونَ الزُّورَ وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِاللَّغْوِ مَرُّوا كِرَامًا

And they who do not bear witness to what is false, and when they pass by what is vain, they pass by nobly.

وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِّرُوا بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ لَمْ يَخِرُّوا عَلَيْهَا صُمًّا وَعُمْيَانًا

And they who, when reminded of the communications of their Lord, do not fall down thereat deaf and blind.

وَالَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا

And they who say: O our Lord! grant us in our wives and our offspring the joy of our eyes, and make us guides to those who guard (against evil).

أُولَئِكَ يُجْزَوْنَ الْغُرْفَةَ بِمَا صَبَرُوا وَيُلَقَّوْنَ فِيهَا تَحِيَّةً وَسَلَامًا

These shall be rewarded with high places because they were patient, and shall be met therein with greetings and salutations.

خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا حَسُنَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَمُقَامًا

Abiding therein; goodly the abode and the resting-place.

قُلْ مَا يَعْبَأُ بِكُمْ رَبِّي لَوْلَا دُعَاؤُكُمْ فَقَدْ كَذَّبْتُمْ فَسَوْفَ يَكُونُ لِزَامًا

Say: My Lord would not care for you were it not for your prayer; but you have indeed rejected (the truth), so that which shall cleave shall come.

طسم

Ta Sin Mim.

تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ

These are the verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.

لَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ

Perhaps you will kill yourself with grief because they do not believe.

إِنْ نَشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ آيَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَاقُهُمْ لَهَا خَاضِعِينَ

If We please, We should send down upon them a sign from the heaven so that their necks should stoop to it.

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِمْ مِنْ ذِكْرٍ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ

And there does not come to them a new reminder from the Beneficent Allah but they turn aside from it.

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنْبَاءُ مَا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ

So they have indeed rejected (the truth), therefore the news of that which they mock shall soon come to them.

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنْبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ

Do they not see the earth, how many of every noble kind We have caused to grow in it?

إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ

Most surely there is a sign in that, but most of them will not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

وَإِذْ نَادَى رَبُّكَ مُوسَى أَنِ ائْتِ الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ

And when your Lord called out to Musa, saying: Go to the unjust people,

قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ

The people of Firon: Will they not guard (against evil)?

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يُكَذِّبُونِ

He said: O my Lord! surely I fear that they will reject me;

وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِي وَلَا يَنْطَلِقُ لِسَانِي فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَى هَارُونَ

And by breast straitens, and my tongue is not eloquent, therefore send Thou to Haroun (to help me);

وَلَهُمْ عَلَيَّ ذَنْبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَنْ يَقْتُلُونِ

And they have a crime against me, therefore I fear that they may slay me.

قَالَ كَلَّا فَاذْهَبَا بِآيَاتِنَا إِنَّا مَعَكُمْ مُسْتَمِعُونَ

He said: By no means, so go you both with Our signs; surely We are with you, hearing;

فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَا إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Then come to Firon and say: Surely we are the apostles of the Lord of the worlds:

أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

Then send with us the children of Israel.

قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ

(Firon) said: Did we not bring you up as a child among us, and you tarried among us for (many) years of your life?

وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ الَّتِي فَعَلْتَ وَأَنْتَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ

And you did (that) deed of yours which you did, and you are one of the ungrateful.

قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَا إِذًا وَأَنَا مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ

He said: I did it then while I was of those unable to see the right course;

فَفَرَرْتُ مِنْكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

So I fled from you when I feared you, then my Lord granted me wisdom and made me of the apostles;

وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ أَنْ عَبَّدْتَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

And is it a favor of which you remind me that you have enslaved the children of Israel?

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Firon said: And what is the Lord of the worlds?

قَالَ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُوقِنِينَ

He said: The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure.

قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ

(Firon) said to those around him: Do you not hear?

قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

He said: Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of old.

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ الَّذِي أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌ

Said he: Most surely your Apostle who is sent to you is mad.

قَالَ رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

He said: The Lord of the east and the west and what is between them, if you understand.

قَالَ لَئِنِ اتَّخَذْتَ إِلَهًا غَيْرِي لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ الْمَسْجُونِينَ

Said he: If you will take a god besides me, I will most certainly make you one of the imprisoned.

قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَيْءٍ مُبِينٍ

He said: What! even if I bring to you something manifest?

قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِ إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ

Said he: Bring it then, if you are of the truthful ones.

فَأَلْقَى عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُبِينٌ

So he cast down his rod, and lo! it was an obvious serpent,

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيْضَاءُ لِلنَّاظِرِينَ

And he drew forth his hand, and lo! it appeared white to the onlookers.

قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُ إِنَّ هَذَا لَسَاحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ

(Firon) said to the chiefs around him: Most surely this is a skillful magician,

يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِكُمْ بِسِحْرِهِ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ

Who desires to turn you out of your land with his magic; what is it then that you advise?

قَالُوا أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَابْعَثْ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ

They said: Give him and his brother respite and send heralds into the cities

يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ

That they should bring to you every skillful magician.

فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍ

So the magicians were gathered together at the appointed time on the fixed day,

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُجْتَمِعُونَ

And it was said to the people: Will you gather together?

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ إِنْ كَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ

Haply we may follow the magicians, if they are the vanquishers.

فَلَمَّا جَاءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ

And when the magicians came, they said to Firon: Shall we get a reward if we are the vanquishers?

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ

He said: Yes, and surely you will then be of those who are made near.

قَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى أَلْقُوا مَا أَنْتُمْ مُلْقُونَ

Musa said to them: Cast what you are going to cast.

فَأَلْقَوْا حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْغَالِبُونَ

So they cast down their cords and their rods and said: By Firon's power, we shall most surely be victorious.

فَأَلْقَى مُوسَى عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ

Then Musa cast down his staff and lo! it swallowed up the lies they told.

فَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ

And the magicians were thrown down prostrate;

قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

They said: We believe in the Lord of the worlds:

رَبِّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ

The Lord of Musa and Haroun.

قَالَ آمَنْتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ مِنْ خِلَافٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Said he: You believe in him before I give you permission; most surely he is the chief of you who taught you the magic, so you shall know: certainly I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and certainly I will crucify you all.

قَالُوا لَا ضَيْرَ إِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا مُنْقَلِبُونَ

They said: No harm; surely to our Lord we go back;

إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَايَانَا أَنْ كُنَّا أَوَّلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Surely we hope that our Lord will forgive us our wrongs because we are the first of the believers.

وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِي إِنَّكُمْ مُتَّبَعُونَ

And We revealed to Musa, saying: Go away with My servants travelling by night, surely you will be pursued.

فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ

So Firon sent heralds into the cities;

إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ

Most surely these are a small company;

وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَائِظُونَ

And most surely they have enraged us;

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَاذِرُونَ

And most surely we are a vigilant multitude.

فَأَخْرَجْنَاهُمْ مِنْ جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

So We turned them out of gardens and springs,

وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ

And treasures and goodly dwellings,

كَذَلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَاهَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

Even so. And We gave them as a heritage to the children of Israel.

فَأَتْبَعُوهُمْ مُشْرِقِينَ

Then they pursued them at sunrise.

فَلَمَّا تَرَاءَى الْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَابُ مُوسَى إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ

So when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa cried out: Most surely we are being overtaken.

قَالَ كَلَّا إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ

He said: By no means; surely my Lord is with me: He will show me a way out.

فَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى أَنِ اضْرِبْ بِعَصَاكَ الْبَحْرَ فَانْفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَالطَّوْدِ الْعَظِيمِ

Then We revealed to Musa: Strike the sea with your staff. So it had cloven asunder, and each part was like a huge mound.

وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ الْآخَرِينَ

And We brought near, there, the others.

وَأَنْجَيْنَا مُوسَى وَمَنْ مَعَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ

And We saved Musa and those with him, all of them.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا الْآخَرِينَ

Then We drowned the others.

إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ

Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ

And recite to them the story of Ibrahim.

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ

When he said to his father and his people: What do you worship?

قَالُوا نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَاكِفِينَ

They said: We worship idols, so we shall be their votaries.

قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ

He said: Do they hear you when you call?

أَوْ يَنْفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ

Or do they profit you or cause you harm?

قَالُوا بَلْ وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا كَذَلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ

They said: Nay, we found our fathers doing so.

قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ

He said: Have you then considered what you have been worshipping:

أَنْتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمُ الْأَقْدَمُونَ

You and your ancient sires.

فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِي إِلَّا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Surely they are enemies to me, but not (so) the Lord of the worlds;

الَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ

Who created me, then He has shown me the way:

وَالَّذِي هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِي وَيَسْقِينِ

And He Who gives me to eat and gives me to drink:

وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ

And when I am sick, then He restores me to health

وَالَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ

And He Who will cause me to die, then give me life;

وَالَّذِي أَطْمَعُ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لِي خَطِيئَتِي يَوْمَ الدِّينِ

And Who, I hope, will forgive me my mistakes on the day of judgment.

رَبِّ هَبْ لِي حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ

My Lord: Grant me wisdom, and join me with the good

وَاجْعَلْ لِي لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِي الْآخِرِينَ

And ordain for me a goodly mention among posterity

وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنْ وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعِيمِ

And make me of the heirs of the garden of bliss

وَاغْفِرْ لِأَبِي إِنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ

And forgive my father, for surely he is of those who have gone astray;

وَلَا تُخْزِنِي يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ

And disgrace me not on the day when they are raised

يَوْمَ لَا يَنْفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ

The day on which property will not avail, nor sons

إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى اللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ

Except him who comes to Allah with a heart free (from evil).

وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

And the garden shall be brought near for those who guard (against evil),

وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ

And the hell shall be made manifest to the erring ones,

وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ

And it shall be said to them: Where are those that you used to worship;

مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ هَلْ يَنْصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنْتَصِرُونَ

Besides Allah? Can they help you or yet help themselves?

فَكُبْكِبُوا فِيهَا هُمْ وَالْغَاوُونَ

So they shall be thrown down into it, they and the erring ones,

وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ

And the hosts of the Shaitan, all.

قَالُوا وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ

They shall say while they contend therein:

تَاللَّهِ إِنْ كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ

By Allah! we were certainly in manifest error,

إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُمْ بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

When we made you equal to the Lord of the worlds;

وَمَا أَضَلَّنَا إِلَّا الْمُجْرِمُونَ

And none but the guilty led us astray;

فَمَا لَنَا مِنْ شَافِعِينَ

So we have no intercessors,

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ

Nor a true friend;

فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

But if we could but once return, we would be of the believers.

إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ

Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

The people of Nuh rejected the apostles.

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When their brother Nuh said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?

إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me

وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds:

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

So guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me.

قَالُوا أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَاتَّبَعَكَ الْأَرْذَلُونَ

They said: Shall we believe in you while the meanest follow you?

قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِي بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

He said: And what knowledge have I of what they do?

إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَى رَبِّي لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ

Their account is only with my Lord, if you could perceive

وَمَا أَنَا بِطَارِدِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And I am not going to drive away the believers;

إِنْ أَنَا إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُبِينٌ

I am naught but a plain warner.

قَالُوا لَئِنْ لَمْ تَنْتَهِ يَا نُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمَرْجُومِينَ

They said: If you desist not, O Nuh, you shall most certainly be of those stoned to death.

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِي كَذَّبُونِ

He said: My Lord! Surely my people give me the lie!

فَافْتَحْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًا وَنَجِّنِي وَمَنْ مَعِيَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Therefore judge Thou between me and them with a (just) judgment, and deliver me and those who are with me of the believers.

فَأَنْجَيْنَاهُ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ فِي الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ

So We delivered him and those with him in the laden ark.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ الْبَاقِينَ

Then We drowned the rest afterwards

إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ

Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

Ad gave the lie to the apostles.

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When their brother Hud said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?

إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:

وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

And I do not ask you any reward for it; surely my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds

أَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ آيَةً تَعْبَثُونَ

Do you build on every height a monument? Vain is it that you do:

وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَ

And you make strong fortresses that perhaps you may

وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُمْ بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَ

And when you lay hands (on men) you lay hands (like) tyrants;

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

So guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me

وَاتَّقُوا الَّذِي أَمَدَّكُمْ بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَ

And be careful of (your duty to) Him Who has given you abundance of what you know.

أَمَدَّكُمْ بِأَنْعَامٍ وَبَنِينَ

He has given you abundance of cattle and children

وَجَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

And gardens and fountains;

إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

Surely I fear for you the chastisement of a grievous day

قَالُوا سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْنَا أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُنْ مِنَ الْوَاعِظِينَ

They said: It is the same to us whether you admonish or are not one of the admonishers

إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا خُلُقُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

This is naught but a custom of the ancients;

وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

And we are not going to be punished.

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ

So they gave him the lie, then We destroyed them. Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

Samood gave the lie to the apostles

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَالِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When their brother Salih said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?

إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Surely I am a faithful apostle to you

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:

وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds:

أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِي مَا هَاهُنَا آمِنِينَ

Will you be left secure in what is here;

فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

In gardens and fountains,

وَزُرُوعٍ وَنَخْلٍ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌ

And cornfields and palm-trees having fine spadices?

وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا فَارِهِينَ

And you hew houses out of the mountains exultingly;

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me;

وَلَا تُطِيعُوا أَمْرَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ

And do not obey the bidding of the extravagant,

الَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ

Who make mischief in the land and do not act aright.

قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِينَ

They said: You are only of the deluded ones;

مَا أَنْتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِآيَةٍ إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ

You are naught but a mortal like ourselves; so bring a sign if you are one of the truthful.

قَالَ هَذِهِ نَاقَةٌ لَهَا شِرْبٌ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍ

He said: This is a she-camel; she shall have her portion of water, and you have your portion of water on an appointed time;

وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

And do not touch her with evil, lest the punishment of a grievous day should overtake you.

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا نَادِمِينَ

But they hamstrung her, then regretted;

فَأَخَذَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ

So the punishment overtook them. Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

The people of Lut gave the lie to the apostles.

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When their brother Lut said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?

إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:

وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds;

أَتَأْتُونَ الذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ

What! do you come to the males from among the creatures

وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ بَلْ أَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ

And leave what your Lord has created for you of your wives? Nay, you are a people exceeding limits.

قَالُوا لَئِنْ لَمْ تَنْتَهِ يَا لُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُخْرَجِينَ

They said: If you desist not, O Lut! you shall surely be of those who are expelled.

قَالَ إِنِّي لِعَمَلِكُمْ مِنَ الْقَالِينَ

He said: Surely I am of those who utterly abhor your doing;

رَبِّ نَجِّنِي وَأَهْلِي مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ

My Lord! deliver me and my followers from what they do.

فَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ

So We delivered him and his followers all,

إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِينَ

Except an old woman, among those who remained behind.

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْآخَرِينَ

Then We utterly destroyed the others.

وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ مَطَرًا فَسَاءَ مَطَرُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ

And We rained down upon them a rain, and evil was the rain on those warned.

إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ

Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

كَذَّبَ أَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

The dwellers of the thicket gave the lie to the apostles.

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When Shu'aib said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?

إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:

وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

And I do not ask you any reward for it, my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds;

أَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُخْسِرِينَ

Give a full measure and be not of those who diminish;

وَزِنُوا بِالْقِسْطَاسِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ

And weigh (things) with a right balance,

وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ

And do not wrong men of their things, and do not act corruptly in the earth, making mischief.

وَاتَّقُوا الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ وَالْجِبِلَّةَ الْأَوَّلِينَ

And guard against (the punishment of) Him who created you and the former nations.

قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِينَ

They said: You are only of those deluded;

وَمَا أَنْتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُنَا وَإِنْ نَظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ

And you are naught but a mortal like ourselves, and we know you to be certainly of the liars.
