تِلۡكَ ءَایَـٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِینِ

These are revelations of the Scripture that maketh plain

لَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعࣱ نَّفۡسَكَ أَلَّا یَكُونُوا۟ مُؤۡمِنِینَ

It may be that thou tormentest thyself (O Muhammad) because they believe not

إِن نَّشَأۡ نُنَزِّلۡ عَلَیۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ ءَایَةࣰ فَظَلَّتۡ أَعۡنَـٰقُهُمۡ لَهَا خَـٰضِعِینَ

If We will, We can send down on them from the sky a portent so that their necks would remain bowed before it

وَمَا یَأۡتِیهِم مِّن ذِكۡرࣲ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ مُحۡدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضِینَ

Never cometh there unto them a fresh reminder from the Beneficent One, but they turn away from it

فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَیَأۡتِیهِمۡ أَنۢبَـٰۤؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ یَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

Now they have denied (the Truth); but there will come unto them tidings of that whereat they used to scoff

أَوَ لَمۡ یَرَوۡا۟ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمۡ أَنۢبَتۡنَا فِیهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجࣲ كَرِیمٍ

Have they not seen the earth, how much of every fruitful kind We make to grow therein

إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَءَایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ

Lo! herein is indeed a portent; yet most of them are not believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful

وَإِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰۤ أَنِ ٱئۡتِ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِینَ

And when thy Lord called Moses, saying: Go unto the wrongdoing folk

قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ أَلَا یَتَّقُونَ

The folk of Pharaoh. Will they not ward off (evil)

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّیۤ أَخَافُ أَن یُكَذِّبُونِ

He said: My Lord! Lo! I fear that they will deny me

وَیَضِیقُ صَدۡرِی وَلَا یَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِی فَأَرۡسِلۡ إِلَىٰ هَـٰرُونَ

And I shall be embarrassed, and my tongue will not speak plainly, therefor send for Aaron (to help me)

وَلَهُمۡ عَلَیَّ ذَنۢبࣱ فَأَخَافُ أَن یَقۡتُلُونِ

And they have a crime against me, so I fear that they will kill me

قَالَ كَلَّاۖ فَٱذۡهَبَا بِءَایَـٰتِنَاۤۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسۡتَمِعُونَ

He said: Nay, verily. So go ye twain with Our tokens. Lo! We shall be with you, Hearing

فَأۡتِیَا فِرۡعَوۡنَ فَقُولَاۤ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

And come together unto Pharaoh and say: Lo! we bear a message of the Lord of the Worlds

أَنۡ أَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ

(Saying): Let the Children of Israel go with us

قَالَ أَلَمۡ نُرَبِّكَ فِینَا وَلِیدࣰا وَلَبِثۡتَ فِینَا مِنۡ عُمُرِكَ سِنِینَ

(Pharaoh) said (unto Moses): Did we not rear thee among us as a child? And thou didst dwell many years of thy life among us

وَفَعَلۡتَ فَعۡلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِی فَعَلۡتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِینَ

And thou didst that thy deed which thou didst, and thou wast one of the ingrates

قَالَ فَعَلۡتُهَاۤ إِذࣰا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّاۤلِّینَ

He said: I did it then, when I was of those who are astray

فَفَرَرۡتُ مِنكُمۡ لَمَّا خِفۡتُكُمۡ فَوَهَبَ لِی رَبِّی حُكۡمࣰا وَجَعَلَنِی مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ

Then I fled from you when I feared you, and my Lord vouchsafed me a command and appointed me (of the number) of those sent (by Him)

وَتِلۡكَ نِعۡمَةࣱ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَیَّ أَنۡ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ

And this is the past favour wherewith thou reproachest me: that thou hast enslaved the Children of Israel

قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

Pharaoh said: And what is the Lord of the Worlds

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَاۤۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِینَ

(Moses) said: Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye had but sure belief

قَالَ لِمَنۡ حَوۡلَهُۥۤ أَلَا تَسۡتَمِعُونَ

(Pharaoh) said unto those around him: Hear ye not

قَالَ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَاۤئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

He said: Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِیۤ أُرۡسِلَ إِلَیۡكُمۡ لَمَجۡنُونࣱ

(Pharaoh) said: Lo! your messenger who hath been sent unto you is indeed a madman

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَاۤۖ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ

He said: Lord of the East and the West and all that is between them, if ye did but understand

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذۡتَ إِلَـٰهًا غَیۡرِی لَأَجۡعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجُونِینَ

(Pharaoh) said: If thou choosest a god other than me, I assuredly shall place thee among the prisoners

قَالَ أَوَ لَوۡ جِئۡتُكَ بِشَیۡءࣲ مُّبِینࣲ

He said: Even though I show thee something plain

قَالَ فَأۡتِ بِهِۦۤ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِینَ

(Pharaoh) said: Produce it then, if thou art of the truthful

فَأَلۡقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِیَ ثُعۡبَانࣱ مُّبِینࣱ

Then he flung down his staff and it became a serpent manifest

وَنَزَعَ یَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِیَ بَیۡضَاۤءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِینَ

And he drew forth his hand and lo! it was white to the beholders

قَالَ لِلۡمَلَإِ حَوۡلَهُۥۤ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرٌ عَلِیمࣱ

(Pharaoh) said unto the chiefs about him: Lo! this is verily a knowing wizard

یُرِیدُ أَن یُخۡرِجَكُم مِّنۡ أَرۡضِكُم بِسِحۡرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأۡمُرُونَ

Who would drive you out of your land by his magic. Now what counsel ye

قَالُوۤا۟ أَرۡجِهۡ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبۡعَثۡ فِی ٱلۡمَدَاۤئِنِ حَـٰشِرِینَ

They said: Put him off, (him) and his brother, and send into the cities summoners

یَأۡتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِیمࣲ

Who shall bring unto thee every knowing wizard

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِیقَـٰتِ یَوۡمࣲ مَّعۡلُومࣲ

So the wizards were gathered together at a set time on a day appointed

وَقِیلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّجۡتَمِعُونَ

And it was said unto the people: Are ye (also) gathering

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبِینَ

(They said): Aye, so that we may follow the wizards if they are the winners

فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجۡرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبِینَ

And when the wizards came they said unto Pharaoh: Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners

قَالَ نَعَمۡ وَإِنَّكُمۡ إِذࣰا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِینَ

He said: Aye, and ye will then surely be of those brought near (to me)

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰۤ أَلۡقُوا۟ مَاۤ أَنتُم مُّلۡقُونَ

Moses said unto them: Throw what ye are going to throw

فَأَلۡقَوۡا۟ حِبَالَهُمۡ وَعِصِیَّهُمۡ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبُونَ

Then they threw down their cords and their staves and said: By Pharaoh's might, lo! we verily are the winners

فَأَلۡقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِیَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا یَأۡفِكُونَ

Then Moses threw his staff and lo! it swallowed that which they did falsely show

فَأُلۡقِیَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَـٰجِدِینَ

And the wizards were flung prostrate

قَالُوۤا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ

The Lord of Moses and Aaron

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ قَبۡلَ أَنۡ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِیرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِی عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحۡرَ فَلَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَیۡدِیَكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَـٰفࣲ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِینَ

(Pharaoh) said: Ye put your faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he doubtless is your chief who taught you magic! But verily ye shall come to know. Verily I will cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and verily I will crucify you every one

قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَیۡرَۖ إِنَّاۤ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

They said: It is no hurt, for lo! unto our Lord we shall return

إِنَّا نَطۡمَعُ أَن یَغۡفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَـٰیَـٰنَاۤ أَن كُنَّاۤ أَوَّلَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

Lo! we ardently hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we are the first of the believers

۞ وَأَوۡحَیۡنَاۤ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰۤ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِیۤ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, for ye will be pursued

فَأَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِی ٱلۡمَدَاۤئِنِ حَـٰشِرِینَ

Then Pharaoh sent into the cities summoners

إِنَّ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ لَشِرۡذِمَةࣱ قَلِیلُونَ

(Who said): Lo! these indeed are but a little troop

وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَنَا لَغَاۤئِظُونَ

And lo! they are offenders against us

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِیعٌ حَـٰذِرُونَ

And lo! we are a ready host

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَـٰهُم مِّن جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونࣲ

Thus did We take them away from gardens and watersprings

وَكُنُوزࣲ وَمَقَامࣲ كَرِیمࣲ

And treasures and a fair estate

كَذَ ٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَـٰهَا بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ

Thus (were those things taken from them) and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them

فَأَتۡبَعُوهُم مُّشۡرِقِینَ

And they overtook them at sunrise

فَلَمَّا تَرَ ٰۤءَا ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ قَالَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰۤ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ

And when the two hosts saw each other, those with Moses said: Lo! we are indeed caught

قَالَ كَلَّاۤۖ إِنَّ مَعِیَ رَبِّی سَیَهۡدِینِ

He said: Nay, verily! for lo! my Lord is with me. He will guide me

فَأَوۡحَیۡنَاۤ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰۤ أَنِ ٱضۡرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرۡقࣲ كَٱلطَّوۡدِ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ

Then We inspired Moses, saying: Smite the sea with thy staff. And it parted, and each part was as a mountain vast

وَأَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ ٱلۡءَاخَرِینَ

Then brought We near the others to that place

وَأَنجَیۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥۤ أَجۡمَعِینَ

And We saved Moses and those with him, every one

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡءَاخَرِینَ

And We drowned the others

إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَءَایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ

Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

And lo, thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful

وَٱتۡلُ عَلَیۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ إِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَ

Recite unto them the story of Abraham

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِیهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

When he said unto his father and his folk: What worship ye

قَالُوا۟ نَعۡبُدُ أَصۡنَامࣰا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَـٰكِفِینَ

They said: We worship idols, and are ever devoted unto them

قَالَ هَلۡ یَسۡمَعُونَكُمۡ إِذۡ تَدۡعُونَ

He said: Do they hear you when ye cry

أَوۡ یَنفَعُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ یَضُرُّونَ

Or do they benefit or harm you

قَالُوا۟ بَلۡ وَجَدۡنَاۤ ءَابَاۤءَنَا كَذَ ٰلِكَ یَفۡعَلُونَ

They said: Nay, but we found our fathers acting on this wise

قَالَ أَفَرَءَیۡتُم مَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ

He said: See now that which ye worship

أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَاۤؤُكُمُ ٱلۡأَقۡدَمُونَ

Ye and your forefathers

فَإِنَّهُمۡ عَدُوࣱّ لِّیۤ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

Lo! they are (all) an enemy unto me, save the Lord of the Worlds

ٱلَّذِی خَلَقَنِی فَهُوَ یَهۡدِینِ

Who created me, and He doth guide me

وَٱلَّذِی هُوَ یُطۡعِمُنِی وَیَسۡقِینِ

And Who feedeth me and watereth me

وَإِذَا مَرِضۡتُ فَهُوَ یَشۡفِینِ

And when I sicken, then He healeth me

وَٱلَّذِی یُمِیتُنِی ثُمَّ یُحۡیِینِ

And Who causeth me to die, then giveth me life (again)

وَٱلَّذِیۤ أَطۡمَعُ أَن یَغۡفِرَ لِی خَطِیۤءَتِی یَوۡمَ ٱلدِّینِ

And Who, I ardently hope, will forgive me my sin on the Day of Judgment

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِی حُكۡمࣰا وَأَلۡحِقۡنِی بِٱلصَّـٰلِحِینَ

My Lord! Vouchsafe me wisdom and unite me to the righteous

وَٱجۡعَل لِّی لِسَانَ صِدۡقࣲ فِی ٱلۡءَاخِرِینَ

And give unto me a good report in later generations

وَٱجۡعَلۡنِی مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِیمِ

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Delight

وَٱغۡفِرۡ لِأَبِیۤ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّاۤلِّینَ

And forgive my father. Lo! he is of those who err

وَلَا تُخۡزِنِی یَوۡمَ یُبۡعَثُونَ

And abase me not on the day when they are raised

یَوۡمَ لَا یَنفَعُ مَالࣱ وَلَا بَنُونَ

The day when wealth and sons avail not (any man)

إِلَّا مَنۡ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلۡبࣲ سَلِیمࣲ

Save him who bringeth unto Allah a whole heart

وَأُزۡلِفَتِ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِینَ

And the Garden will be brought nigh for those who ward off (evil)

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِیمُ لِلۡغَاوِینَ

And hell will appear plainly to the erring

وَقِیلَ لَهُمۡ أَیۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ

And it will be said unto them: Where is (all) that ye used to worship

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلۡ یَنصُرُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ یَنتَصِرُونَ

Instead of Allah? Can they help you or help themselves

فَكُبۡكِبُوا۟ فِیهَا هُمۡ وَٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ

Then will they be hurled therein, they and the seducers

وَجُنُودُ إِبۡلِیسَ أَجۡمَعُونَ

And the hosts of Iblis, together

قَالُوا۟ وَهُمۡ فِیهَا یَخۡتَصِمُونَ

And they will say, when they are quarrelling therein

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِی ضَلَـٰلࣲ مُّبِینٍ

By Allah, of a truth we were in error manifest

إِذۡ نُسَوِّیكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

When we made you equal with the Lord of the Worlds

وَمَاۤ أَضَلَّنَاۤ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ

It was but the guilty who misled us

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَـٰفِعِینَ

Now we have no intercessors

وَلَا صَدِیقٍ حَمِیمࣲ

Nor any loving friend

فَلَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةࣰ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

Oh, that we had another turn (on earth), that we might be of the believers

إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَءَایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ

Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

And lo, thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ

Noah's folk denied the messengers (of Allah)

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When their brother Noah said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)

إِنِّی لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِینࣱ

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ

So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me

وَمَاۤ أَسۡءَلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ

So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me

۞ قَالُوۤا۟ أَنُؤۡمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلۡأَرۡذَلُونَ

They said: Shall we put faith in thee, when the lowest (of the people) follow thee

قَالَ وَمَا عِلۡمِی بِمَا كَانُوا۟ یَعۡمَلُونَ

He said: And what knowledge have I of what they may have been doing (in the past)

إِنۡ حِسَابُهُمۡ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّیۖ لَوۡ تَشۡعُرُونَ

Lo! their reckoning is my Lord's concern, if ye but knew

وَمَاۤ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

And I am not (here) to repulse believers

إِنۡ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِیرࣱ مُّبِینࣱ

I am only a plain warner

قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ یَـٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَرۡجُومِینَ

They said: If thou cease not, O Noah, thou wilt surely be among those stoned (to death)

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوۡمِی كَذَّبُونِ

He said: My Lord! Lo! my own folk deny me

فَٱفۡتَحۡ بَیۡنِی وَبَیۡنَهُمۡ فَتۡحࣰا وَنَجِّنِی وَمَن مَّعِیَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

Therefor judge Thou between us, a (conclusive) judgment, and save me and those believers who are with me

فَأَنجَیۡنَـٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِی ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ

And We saved him and those with him in the laden ship

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا بَعۡدُ ٱلۡبَاقِینَ

Then afterward We drowned the others

إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَءَایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ

Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

And lo, thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful

كَذَّبَتۡ عَادٌ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ

(The tribe of) A'ad denied the messengers (of Allah)

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When their brother Hud said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)

إِنِّی لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِینࣱ

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ

So keep your duty to Allah and obey me

وَمَاۤ أَسۡءَلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds

أَتَبۡنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِیعٍ ءَایَةࣰ تَعۡبَثُونَ

Build ye on every high place a monument for vain delight

وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَخۡلُدُونَ

And seek ye out strongholds, that haply ye may last for ever

وَإِذَا بَطَشۡتُم بَطَشۡتُمۡ جَبَّارِینَ

And if ye seize by force, seize ye as tyrants

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ

Rather keep your duty to Allah, and obey me

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِیۤ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعۡلَمُونَ

Keep your duty toward Him Who hath aided you with (the good things) that ye know

أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنۡعَـٰمࣲ وَبَنِینَ

Hath aided you with cattle and sons

وَجَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونٍ

And gardens and watersprings

إِنِّیۤ أَخَافُ عَلَیۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ یَوۡمٍ عَظِیمࣲ

Lo! I fear for you the retribution of an awful day

قَالُوا۟ سَوَاۤءٌ عَلَیۡنَاۤ أَوَعَظۡتَ أَمۡ لَمۡ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡوَ ٰعِظِینَ

They said: It is all one to us whether thou preachest or art not of those who preach

إِنۡ هَـٰذَاۤ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

This is but a fable of the men of old

وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِینَ

And we shall not be doomed

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهۡلَكۡنَـٰهُمۡۚ إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَءَایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ

And they denied him; therefor We destroyed them. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

And lo! thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ

(The tribe of) Thamud denied the messengers (of Allah)

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ صَـٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When their brother Salih said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)

إِنِّی لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِینࣱ

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ

So keep your duty to Allah and obey me

وَمَاۤ أَسۡءَلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds

أَتُتۡرَكُونَ فِی مَا هَـٰهُنَاۤ ءَامِنِینَ

Will ye be left secure in that which is here before us

فِی جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونࣲ

In gardens and watersprings

وَزُرُوعࣲ وَنَخۡلࣲ طَلۡعُهَا هَضِیمࣱ

And tilled fields and heavy-sheathed palm-trees

وَتَنۡحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ بُیُوتࣰا فَـٰرِهِینَ

Though ye hew out dwellings in the mountain, being skilful

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ

Therefor keep your duty to Allah and obey me

وَلَا تُطِیعُوۤا۟ أَمۡرَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِینَ

And obey not the command of the prodigal

ٱلَّذِینَ یُفۡسِدُونَ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا یُصۡلِحُونَ

Who spread corruption in the earth, and reform not

قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّمَاۤ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَحَّرِینَ

They said: Thou art but one of the bewitched

مَاۤ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرࣱ مِّثۡلُنَا فَأۡتِ بِءَایَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِینَ

Thou art but a mortal like us. So bring some token if thou art of the truthful

قَالَ هَـٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةࣱ لَّهَا شِرۡبࣱ وَلَكُمۡ شِرۡبُ یَوۡمࣲ مَّعۡلُومࣲ

He said: (Behold) this she-camel. She hath the right to drink (at the well), and ye have the right to drink, (each) on an appointed day

وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوۤءࣲ فَیَأۡخُذَكُمۡ عَذَابُ یَوۡمٍ عَظِیمࣲ

And touch her not with ill lest there come on you the retribution of an awful day

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصۡبَحُوا۟ نَـٰدِمِینَ

But they hamstrung her, and then were penitent

فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُۚ إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَءَایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ

So the retribution came on them. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ لُوطٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ

The folk of Lot denied the messengers (of Allah)

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When their brother Lot said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)

إِنِّی لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِینࣱ

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ

So keep your duty to Allah and obey me

وَمَاۤ أَسۡءَلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds

أَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلذُّكۡرَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males

وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمۡ رَبُّكُم مِّنۡ أَزۡوَ ٰجِكُمۚ بَلۡ أَنتُمۡ قَوۡمٌ عَادُونَ

And leave the wives your Lord created for you? Nay, but ye are froward folk

قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ یَـٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمُخۡرَجِینَ

They said: If thou cease not, O Lot, thou wilt soon be of the outcast

قَالَ إِنِّی لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقَالِینَ

He said: I am in truth of those who hate your conduct

رَبِّ نَجِّنِی وَأَهۡلِی مِمَّا یَعۡمَلُونَ

My Lord! Save me and my household from what they do

فَنَجَّیۡنَـٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥۤ أَجۡمَعِینَ

So We saved him and his household, every one

إِلَّا عَجُوزࣰا فِی ٱلۡغَـٰبِرِینَ

Save an old woman among those who stayed behind

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡءَاخَرِینَ

Then afterward We destroyed the others

وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَیۡهِم مَّطَرࣰاۖ فَسَاۤءَ مَطَرُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِینَ

And We rained on them a rain. And dreadful is the rain of those who have been warned

إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَءَایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ

Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

And lo! thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful

كَذَّبَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ لۡءَیۡكَةِ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ

The dwellers in the wood (of Midian) denied the messengers (of Allah)

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ شُعَیۡبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When Shu'eyb said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)

إِنِّی لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِینࣱ

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ

So keep your duty to Allah and obey me

وَمَاۤ أَسۡءَلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

And I ask of you no wage for it; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds

۞ أَوۡفُوا۟ ٱلۡكَیۡلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلۡمُخۡسِرِینَ

Give full measure, and be not of those who give less (than the due)

وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلۡقِسۡطَاسِ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِیمِ

And weigh with the true balance

وَلَا تَبۡخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشۡیَاۤءَهُمۡ وَلَا تَعۡثَوۡا۟ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُفۡسِدِینَ

Wrong not mankind in their goods, and do not evil, making mischief, in the earth

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِی خَلَقَكُمۡ وَٱلۡجِبِلَّةَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

And keep your duty unto Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old

قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّمَاۤ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَحَّرِینَ

They said: Thou art but one of the bewitched

وَمَاۤ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرࣱ مِّثۡلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡكَـٰذِبِینَ

Thou art but a mortal like us, and lo! we deem thee of the liars

فَأَسۡقِطۡ عَلَیۡنَا كِسَفࣰا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِینَ

Then make fragments of the heaven fall upon us, if thou art of the truthful

قَالَ رَبِّیۤ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

He said: My Lord is Best Aware of what ye do

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمۡ عَذَابُ یَوۡمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ یَوۡمٍ عَظِیمٍ

But they denied him, so there came on them the retribution of the day of gloom. Lo! it was the retribution of an awful day

إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَءَایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ

Lo! herein is indeed a portent; yet most of them are not believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِیلُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

And lo! it is a revelation of the Lord of the Worlds

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلۡأَمِینُ

Which the True Spirit hath brought down

عَلَىٰ قَلۡبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنذِرِینَ

Upon thy heart, that thou mayst be (one) of the warners

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِیࣲّ مُّبِینࣲ

In plain Arabic speech

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِی زُبُرِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

And lo! it is in the Scriptures of the men of old

أَوَ لَمۡ یَكُن لَّهُمۡ ءَایَةً أَن یَعۡلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَـٰۤؤُا۟ بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ

Is it not a token for them that the doctors of the Children of Israel know it

وَلَوۡ نَزَّلۡنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضِ ٱلۡأَعۡجَمِینَ

And if We had revealed it unto one of any other nation than the Arabs

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَیۡهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنِینَ

And he had read it unto them, they would not have believed in it

كَذَ ٰلِكَ سَلَكۡنَـٰهُ فِی قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ

Thus do We make it traverse the hearts of the guilty

لَا یُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ یَرَوُا۟ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِیمَ

They will not believe in it till they behold the painful doom

فَیَأۡتِیَهُم بَغۡتَةࣰ وَهُمۡ لَا یَشۡعُرُونَ

So that it will come upon them suddenly, when they perceive not

فَیَقُولُوا۟ هَلۡ نَحۡنُ مُنظَرُونَ

Then they will say: Are we to be reprieved

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا یَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

Would they (now) hasten on Our doom

أَفَرَءَیۡتَ إِن مَّتَّعۡنَـٰهُمۡ سِنِینَ

Hast thou then seen, if We content them for (long) years

ثُمَّ جَاۤءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ یُوعَدُونَ

And then cometh that which they were promised

مَاۤ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ یُمَتَّعُونَ

(How) that wherewith they were contented naught availeth them

وَمَاۤ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡیَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ

And We destroyed no township but it had its warners

ذِكۡرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِینَ

For reminder, for We never were oppressors

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتۡ بِهِ ٱلشَّیَـٰطِینُ

The devils did not bring it down

وَمَا یَنۢبَغِی لَهُمۡ وَمَا یَسۡتَطِیعُونَ

It is not meet for them, nor is it in their power

إِنَّهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّمۡعِ لَمَعۡزُولُونَ

Lo! verily they are banished from the hearing

فَلَا تَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُعَذَّبِینَ

Therefor invoke not with Allah another god, lest thou be one of the doomed

وَأَنذِرۡ عَشِیرَتَكَ ٱلۡأَقۡرَبِینَ

And warn thy tribe of near kindred

وَٱخۡفِضۡ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

And lower thy wing (in kindness) unto those believers who follow thee

فَإِنۡ عَصَوۡكَ فَقُلۡ إِنِّی بَرِیۤءࣱ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ

And if they (thy kinsfolk) disobey thee, say: Lo! I am innocent of what they do

وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱلۡعَزِیزِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ

And put thy trust in the Mighty, the Merciful

ٱلَّذِی یَرَىٰكَ حِینَ تَقُومُ

Who seeth thee when thou standest up (to pray)

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِی ٱلسَّـٰجِدِینَ

And (seeth) thine abasement among those who fall prostrate (in worship)

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِیعُ ٱلۡعَلِیمُ

Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Knower

هَلۡ أُنَبِّئُكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّیَـٰطِینُ

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِیمࣲ

They descend on every sinful, false one

یُلۡقُونَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ كَـٰذِبُونَ

They listen eagerly, but most of them are liars

وَٱلشُّعَرَاۤءُ یَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ

As for poets, the erring follow them

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِی كُلِّ وَادࣲ یَهِیمُونَ

Hast thou not seen how they stray in every valley

وَأَنَّهُمۡ یَقُولُونَ مَا لَا یَفۡعَلُونَ

And how they say that which they do not

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِیرࣰا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ۗ وَسَیَعۡلَمُ ٱلَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوۤا۟ أَیَّ مُنقَلَبࣲ یَنقَلِبُونَ

Save those who believe and do good works, and remember Allah much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged. Those who do wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned
