الٓر‌ كِتٰبٌ اُحۡكِمَتۡ اٰيٰـتُهٗ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتۡ مِنۡ لَّدُنۡ حَكِيۡمٍ خَبِيۡرٍۙ‏ ﴿۱﴾

Alif. Lam. Ra. (This is) a Scripture the revelations whereof are perfected and then expounded. (It cometh) from One Wise, Informed, ﴾1﴿

اَلَّا تَعۡبُدُوۡاۤ اِلَّا اللّٰهَ‌ ؕ اِنَّنِىۡ لَـكُمۡ مِّنۡهُ نَذِيۡرٌ وَّبَشِيۡرٌۙ‏ ﴿۲﴾

(Saying): Serve none but Allah. Lo! I am unto you from Him a warner and a bringer of good tidings. ﴾2﴿

وَّاَنِ اسۡتَغۡفِرُوۡا رَبَّكُمۡ ثُمَّ تُوۡبُوۡاۤ اِلَيۡهِ يُمَتِّعۡكُمۡ مَّتَاعًا حَسَنًا اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَ يُؤۡتِ كُلَّ ذِىۡ فَضۡلٍ فَضۡلَهٗ‌ؕ وَاِنۡ تَوَلَّوۡا فَاِنِّىۡۤ اَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ كَبِيۡرٍ‏ ﴿۳﴾

And (bidding you): Ask pardon of your Lord and turn to Him repentant. He will cause you to enjoy a fair estate until a time appointed. He giveth His bounty unto every bountiful one. But if ye turn away, lo! (then) I fear for you the retribution of an awful Day. ﴾3﴿

اِلَى اللّٰهِ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ‌ۚ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ قَدِيۡرٌ‏ ﴿۴﴾

Unto Allah is your return, and He is Able to do all things. ﴾4﴿

اَلَاۤ اِنَّهُمۡ يَثۡنُوۡنَ صُدُوۡرَهُمۡ لِيَسۡتَخۡفُوۡا مِنۡهُ‌ؕ اَلَا حِيۡنَ يَسۡتَغۡشُوۡنَ ثِيَابَهُمۡۙ يَعۡلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّوۡنَ وَمَا يُعۡلِنُوۡنَ‌ۚ اِنَّهٗ عَلِيۡمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوۡرِ‏ ﴿۵﴾

Lo! now they fold up their breasts that they may hide (their thoughts) from Him. At the very moment when they cover themselves with their clothing, Allah knoweth that which they keep hidden and that which they proclaim. Lo! He is Aware of what is in the breasts (of men). ﴾5﴿

وَمَا مِنۡ دَآبَّةٍ فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِ اِلَّا عَلَى اللّٰهِ رِزۡقُهَا وَ يَعۡلَمُ مُسۡتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسۡتَوۡدَعَهَا‌ؕ كُلٌّ فِىۡ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ‏ ﴿۶﴾

And there is not a beast in the earth but the sustenance thereof dependeth on Allah. He knoweth its habitation and its repository. All is in a clear Record. ﴾6﴿

وَ هُوَ الَّذِىۡ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ فِىۡ سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ وَّكَانَ عَرۡشُهٗ عَلَى الۡمَآءِ لِيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ اَيُّكُمۡ اَحۡسَنُ عَمَلاً‌ ؕ وَلَٮِٕنۡ قُلۡتَ اِنَّكُمۡ مَّبۡعُوۡثُوۡنَ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ الۡمَوۡتِ لَيَـقُوۡلَنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡۤا اِنۡ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا سِحۡرٌ مُّبِيۡنٌ‏ ﴿۷﴾

And He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days - and His Throne was upon the water - that He might try you, which of you is best in conduct. Yet if thou (O Muhammad) sayest: Lo! ye will be raised again after death! those who disbelieve will surely say: This is naught but mere magic. ﴾7﴿

وَلَٮِٕنۡ اَخَّرۡنَا عَنۡهُمُ الۡعَذَابَ اِلٰٓى اُمَّةٍ مَّعۡدُوۡدَةٍ لَّيَـقُوۡلُنَّ مَا يَحۡبِسُهٗؕ اَلَا يَوۡمَ يَاۡتِيۡهِمۡ لَـيۡسَ مَصۡرُوۡفًا عَنۡهُمۡ وَحَاقَ بِهِمۡ مَّا كَانُوۡا بِهٖ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۸﴾

And if We delay for them the doom until a reckoned time, they will surely say: What withholdeth it? Verily on the day when it cometh unto them, it cannot be averted from them, and that which they derided will surround them. ﴾8﴿

وَلَٮِٕنۡ اَذَقۡنَا الۡاِنۡسَانَ مِنَّا رَحۡمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعۡنٰهَا مِنۡهُ‌ۚ اِنَّهٗ لَيـَـُٔوۡسٌ كَفُوۡرٌ‏ ﴿۹﴾

And if we cause man to taste some mercy from Us and afterward withdraw it from him, lo! he is despairing, thankless. ﴾9﴿

وَلَٮِٕنۡ اَذَقۡنٰهُ نَـعۡمَآءَ بَعۡدَ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتۡهُ لَيَـقُوۡلَنَّ ذَهَبَ السَّيِّاٰتُ عَنِّىۡ‌ ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَـفَرِحٌ فَخُوۡرٌۙ‏ ﴿۱۰﴾

And if We cause him to taste grace after some misfortune that had befallen him, he saith: The ills have gone from me. Lo! he is exultant, boastful; ﴾10﴿

اِلَّا الَّذِيۡنَ صَبَرُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ لَهُمۡ مَّغۡفِرَةٌ وَّاَجۡرٌ كَبِيۡرٌ‏ ﴿۱۱﴾

Save those who persevere and do good works. Theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward. ﴾11﴿

فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكٌۢ بَعۡضَ مَا يُوۡحٰٓى اِلَيۡكَ وَضَآٮِٕقٌۢ بِهٖ صَدۡرُكَ اَنۡ يَّقُوۡلُوۡا لَوۡلَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ كَنۡزٌ اَوۡ جَآءَ مَعَهٗ مَلَكٌ‌ ؕ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنۡتَ نَذِيۡرٌ‌ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ وَّكِيۡلٌؕ‏ ﴿۱۲﴾

A likely thing, that thou wouldst forsake aught of that which hath been revealed unto thee, and that thy breast should be straitened for it, because they say: Why hath not a treasure been sent down for him, or an angel come with him? Thou art but a warner, and Allah is in charge of all things. ﴾12﴿

اَمۡ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ افۡتَرٰٮهُ‌ؕ قُلۡ فَاۡتُوۡا بِعَشۡرِ سُوَرٍ مِّثۡلِهٖ مُفۡتَرَيٰتٍ وَّ ادۡعُوۡا مَنِ اسۡتَطَعۡتُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ صٰدِقِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۳﴾

Or they say: He hath invented it. Say: Then bring ten surahs, the like thereof, invented, and call on everyone ye can beside Allah, if ye are truthful! ﴾13﴿

فَاِلَّمۡ يَسۡتَجِيۡبُوۡا لَـكُمۡ فَاعۡلَمُوۡۤا اَنَّمَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ بِعِلۡمِ اللّٰهِ وَاَنۡ لَّاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ‌ۚ فَهَلۡ اَنۡتُمۡ مُّسۡلِمُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۴﴾

And if they answer not your prayer, then know that it is revealed only in the knowledge of Allah; and that there is no Allah save Him. Will ye then be (of) those who surrender? ﴾14﴿

مَنۡ كَانَ يُرِيۡدُ الۡحَيٰوةَ الدُّنۡيَا وَ زِيۡنَتَهَا نُوَفِّ اِلَيۡهِمۡ اَعۡمَالَهُمۡ فِيۡهَا وَهُمۡ فِيۡهَا لَا يُبۡخَسُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۵﴾

Whoso desireth the life of the world and its pomp, We shall repay them their deeds herein, and therein they will not be wronged. ﴾15﴿

اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ الَّذِيۡنَ لَـيۡسَ لَهُمۡ فِىۡ الۡاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا النَّارُ‌‌ۖ وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُوۡا فِيۡهَا وَبٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوۡا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۶﴾

Those are they for whom is naught in the Hereafter save the Fire. (All) that they contrive here is vain and (all) that they are wont to do is fruitless. ﴾16﴿

اَفَمَنۡ كَانَ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّهٖ وَيَتۡلُوۡهُ شَاهِدٌ مِّنۡهُ وَمِنۡ قَبۡلِهٖ كِتٰبُ مُوۡسٰٓى اِمَامًا وَّرَحۡمَةً‌ ؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِهٖ‌ؕ وَمَنۡ يَّكۡفُرۡ بِهٖ مِنَ الۡاَحۡزَابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوۡعِدُهٗ‌ۚ فَلَا تَكُ فِىۡ مِرۡيَةٍ مِّنۡهُ‌ اِنَّهُ الۡحَـقُّ مِنۡ رَّبِّكَ وَلٰـكِنَّ اَكۡثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۷﴾

Is he (to be counted equal with them) who relieth on a clear proof from his Lord, and a witness from Him reciteth it, and before it was the Book of Moses, an example and a mercy? Such believe therein, and whoso disbelieveth therein of the clans, the Fire is his appointed place. So be not thou in doubt concerning it. Lo! it is the Truth from thy Lord; but most of mankind believe not. ﴾17﴿

وَمَنۡ اَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ افۡتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا‌ؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ يُعۡرَضُوۡنَ عَلٰى رَبِّهِمۡ وَ يَقُوۡلُ الۡاَشۡهَادُ هٰٓؤُلَآءِ الَّذِيۡنَ كَذَبُوۡا عَلٰى رَبِّهِمۡ‌ۚ اَلَا لَـعۡنَةُ اللّٰهِ عَلَى الظّٰلِمِيۡنَۙ‏ ﴿۱۸﴾

Who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning Allah? Such will be brought before their Lord, and the witnesses will say: These are they who lied concerning their Lord. Now the curse of Allah is upon wrong-doers, ﴾18﴿

الَّذِيۡنَ يَصُدُّوۡنَ عَنۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ وَيَبۡغُوۡنَهَا عِوَجًاؕ وَّهُمۡ بِالۡاٰخِرَةِ هُمۡ كٰفِرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۹﴾

Who debar (men) from the way of Allah and would have it crooked, and who are disbelievers in the Hereafter. ﴾19﴿

اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ لَمۡ يَكُوۡنُوۡا مُعۡجِزِيۡنَ فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ مِنۡ اَوۡلِيَآءَ‌ۘ يُضٰعَفُ لَهُمُ الۡعَذَابُ‌ؕ مَا كَانُوۡا يَسۡتَطِيۡعُوۡنَ السَّمۡعَ وَمَا كَانُوۡا يُبۡصِرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۰﴾

Such will not escape in the earth, nor have they any protecting friends beside Allah. For them the torment will be double. They could not bear to hear, and they used not to see. ﴾20﴿

اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ الَّذِيۡنَ خَسِرُوۡۤا اَنۡفُسَهُمۡ وَضَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ مَّا كَانُوۡا يَفۡتَرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۱﴾

Such are they who have lost their souls, and that which they used to invent hath failed them. ﴾21﴿

لَا جَرَمَ اَ نَّهُمۡ فِىۡ الۡاٰخِرَةِ هُمُ الۡاَخۡسَرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۲﴾

Assuredly in the Hereafter they will be the greatest losers. ﴾22﴿

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَاَخۡبَـتُوۡۤا اِلٰى رَبِّهِمۡۙ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡجَـنَّةِ‌ؕ هُمۡ فِيۡهَا خٰلِدُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۳﴾

Lo! those who believe and do good works and humble themselves before their Lord: such are rightful owners of the Garden; they will abide therein. ﴾23﴿

مَثَلُ الۡفَرِيۡقَيۡنِ كَالۡاَعۡمٰى وَالۡاٰصَمِّ وَالۡبَـصِيۡرِ وَالسَّمِيۡعِ‌ؕ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِيٰنِ مَثَلاً‌ ؕ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۴﴾

The similitude of the two parties is as the blind and the deaf and the seer and the hearer. Are they equal in similitude? Will ye not then be admonished? ﴾24﴿

وَلَقَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوۡحًا اِلٰى قَوۡمِهٖۤ اِنِّىۡ لَـكُمۡ نَذِيۡرٌ مُّبِيۡنٌۙ‏ ﴿۲۵﴾

And We sent Noah unto his folk (and he said): Lo! I am a plain warner unto you. ﴾25﴿

اَنۡ لَّا تَعۡبُدُوۡۤا اِلَّا اللّٰهَ‌ؕ اِنِّىۡۤ اَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ اَلِيۡمٍ‏ ﴿۲۶﴾

That ye serve none, save Allah. Lo! I fear for you the retribution of a painful Day. ﴾26﴿

فَقَالَ الۡمَلَاُ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا مِنۡ قَوۡمِهٖ مَا نَرٰٮكَ اِلَّا بَشَرًا مِّثۡلَنَا وَمَا نَرٰٮكَ اتَّبَعَكَ اِلَّا الَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ اَرَاذِلُــنَا بَادِىَ الرَّاۡىِ‌ۚ وَمَا نَرٰى لَـكُمۡ عَلَيۡنَا مِنۡ فَضۡلٍۢ بَلۡ نَظُنُّكُمۡ كٰذِبِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۷﴾

The chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved, said: We see thee but a mortal like us, and we see not that any follow thee save the most abject among us, without reflection. We behold in you no merit above us - nay, we deem you liars. ﴾27﴿

قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ اَرَءَيۡتُمْ اِنۡ كُنۡتُ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّىۡ وَاٰتٰٮنِىۡ رَحۡمَةً مِّنۡ عِنۡدِهٖ فَعُمِّيَتۡ عَلَيۡكُمۡؕ اَنُلۡزِمُكُمُوۡهَا وَاَنۡـتُمۡ لَـهَا كٰرِهُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۸﴾

He said: O my people! Bethink you, if I rely on a clear proof from my Lord and there hath come unto me a mercy from His presence, and it hath been made obscure to you, can we compel you to accept it when ye are averse thereto? ﴾28﴿

وَيٰقَوۡمِ لَاۤ اَسۡــَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مَالاً‌ ؕاِنۡ اَجۡرِىَ اِلَّا عَلَى اللّٰهِ‌ وَمَاۤ اَنَا بِطَارِدِ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا‌ؕ اِنَّهُمۡ مُّلٰقُوۡا رَبِّهِمۡ وَلٰـكِنِّىۡۤ اَرٰٮكُمۡ قَوۡمًا تَجۡهَلُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۲۹﴾

And O my people! I ask of you no wealth therefor. My reward is the concern only of Allah, and I am not going to thrust away those who believe - Lo! they have to meet their Lord! - but I see you a folk that are ignorant. ﴾29﴿

وَيٰقَوۡمِ مَنۡ يَّـنۡصُرُنِىۡ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنۡ طَرَدتُّهُمۡ‌ؕ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۳۰﴾

And, O my people! who would deliver me from Allah if I thrust them away? Will ye not then reflect? ﴾30﴿

وَلَاۤ اَقُوۡلُ لَـكُمۡ عِنۡدِىۡ خَزَآٮِٕنُ اللّٰهِ وَلَاۤ اَعۡلَمُ الۡغَيۡبَ وَلَاۤ اَقُوۡلُ اِنِّىۡ مَلَكٌ وَّلَاۤ اَقُوۡلُ لِلَّذِيۡنَ تَزۡدَرِىۡۤ اَعۡيُنُكُمۡ لَنۡ يُّؤۡتِيَهُمُ اللّٰهُ خَيۡرًا‌ؕ اَللّٰهُ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا فِىۡۤ اَنۡفُسِهِمۡ‌ ۖۚ اِنِّىۡۤ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۳۱﴾

I say not unto you: "I have the treasures of Allah" nor "I have knowledge of the Unseen," nor say I: "Lo! I am an angel!" Nor say I unto those whom your eyes scorn that Allah will not give them good - Allah knoweth best what is in their hearts - Lo! then indeed I should be of the wrong-doers. ﴾31﴿

قَالُوۡا يٰنُوۡحُ قَدۡ جَادَلۡتَـنَا فَاَكۡثَرۡتَ جِدَالـنَا فَاۡتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَاۤ اِنۡ كُنۡتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۳۲﴾

They said: O Noah! Thou hast disputed with us and multiplied disputation with us; now bring upon us that wherewith thou threatenest us, if thou art of the truthful. ﴾32﴿

قَالَ اِنَّمَا يَاۡتِيۡكُمۡ بِهِ اللّٰهُ اِنۡ شَآءَ وَمَاۤ اَنۡتُمۡ بِمُعۡجِزِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۳۳﴾

He said: Only Allah will bring it upon you if He will, and ye can by no means escape. ﴾33﴿

وَلَا يَنۡفَعُكُمۡ نُصۡحِىۡۤ اِنۡ اَرَدْتُّ اَنۡ اَنۡصَحَ لَكُمۡ اِنۡ كَانَ اللّٰهُ يُرِيۡدُ اَنۡ يُّغۡوِيَكُمۡ‌ؕ هُوَ رَبُّكُمۡ وَاِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُوۡنَؕ‏ ﴿۳۴﴾

My counsel will not profit you if I were minded to advise you, if Allah's will is to keep you astray. He is your Lord and unto Him ye will be brought back. ﴾34﴿

اَمۡ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ افۡتَرٰٮهُ‌ؕ قُلۡ اِنِ افۡتَرَيۡتُهٗ فَعَلَىَّ اِجۡرَامِىۡ وَاَنَا بَرِىۡٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُجۡرِمُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۳۵﴾

Or say they (again): He hath invented it? Say: If I have invented it, upon me be my crimes, but I am innocent of (all) that ye commit. ﴾35﴿

وَاُوۡحِىَ اِلٰى نُوۡحٍ اَنَّهٗ لَنۡ يُّؤۡمِنَ مِنۡ قَوۡمِكَ اِلَّا مَنۡ قَدۡ اٰمَنَ فَلَا تَبۡتَٮِٕسۡ بِمَا كَانُوۡا يَفۡعَلُوۡنَ‌ۖ‌ۚ‏ ﴿۳۶﴾

And it was inspired in Noah, (saying): No-one of thy folk will believe save him who hath believed already. Be not distressed because of what they do. ﴾36﴿

وَاصۡنَعِ الۡفُلۡكَ بِاَعۡيُنِنَا وَوَحۡيِنَا وَلَا تُخَاطِبۡنِىۡ فِىۡ الَّذِيۡنَ ظَلَمُوۡا‌ؕ اِنَّهُمۡ مُّغۡرَقُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۳۷﴾

Build the ship under Our eyes and by Our inspiration, and speak not unto Me on behalf of those who do wrong. Lo! they will be drowned. ﴾37﴿

وَيَصۡنَعُ الۡفُلۡكَ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيۡهِ مَلَاٌ مِّنۡ قَوۡمِهٖ سَخِرُوۡا مِنۡهُ‌ؕ قَالَ اِنۡ تَسۡخَرُوۡا مِنَّا فَاِنَّا نَسۡخَرُ مِنۡكُمۡ كَمَا تَسۡخَرُوۡنَؕ‏ ﴿۳۸﴾

And he was building the ship, and every time that chieftains of his people passed him, they made mock of him. He said: Though ye make mock of Us, yet We mock at you even as ye mock; ﴾38﴿

فَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَۙ مَنۡ يَّاۡتِيۡهِ عَذَابٌ يُّخۡزِيۡهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيۡهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيۡمٌ‏ ﴿۳۹﴾

And ye shall know to whom a punishment that will confound him cometh, and upon whom a lasting doom will fall. ﴾39﴿

حَتّٰۤى اِذَا جَآءَ اَمۡرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّوۡرُ قُلۡنَا احۡمِلۡ فِيۡهَا مِنۡ كُلٍّ زَوۡجَيۡنِ اثۡنَيۡنِ وَاَهۡلَكَ اِلَّا مَنۡ سَبَقَ عَلَيۡهِ الۡقَوۡلُ وَمَنۡ اٰمَنَ‌ؕ وَمَاۤ اٰمَنَ مَعَهٗۤ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلٌ‏ ﴿۴۰﴾

(Thus it was) till, when Our commandment came to pass and the oven gushed forth water, We said: Load therein two of every kind, a pair (the male and female), and thy household, save him against whom the word hath gone forth already, and those who believe. And but a few were they who believed with him. ﴾40﴿

وَقَالَ ارۡكَبُوۡا فِيۡهَا بِسۡمِ اللّٰهِ مَجۡرٖهَا وَمُرۡسٰٮهَا ‌ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّىۡ لَـغَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ‏ ﴿۴۱﴾

And he said: Embark therein! In the name of Allah be its course and its mooring. Lo! my Lord is Forgiving, Merciful. ﴾41﴿

وَهِىَ تَجۡرِىۡ بِهِمۡ فِىۡ مَوۡجٍ كَالۡجِبَال وَنَادٰى نُوۡحُ ۨ ِابۡنَهٗ وَكَانَ فِىۡ مَعۡزِلٍيّٰبُنَىَّ ارۡكَبۡ مَّعَنَا وَلَا تَكُنۡ مَّعَ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۴۲﴾

And it sailed with them amid waves like mountains, and Noah cried unto his son - and he was standing aloof - O my son! Come ride with us, and be not with the disbelievers. ﴾42﴿

قَالَ سَاَاوِىۡۤ اِلٰى جَبَلٍ يَّعۡصِمُنِىۡ مِنَ الۡمَآءِ‌ؕ قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ الۡيَوۡمَ مِنۡ اَمۡرِ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا مَنۡ رَّحِمَ‌ۚ وَحَالَ بَيۡنَهُمَا الۡمَوۡجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الۡمُغۡرَقِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۴۳﴾

He said: I shall betake me to some mountain that will save me from the water. (Noah) said: This day there is none that saveth from the commandment of Allah save him on whom He hath had mercy. And the wave came in between them, so he was among the drowned. ﴾43﴿

وَقِيۡلَ يٰۤاَرۡضُ ابۡلَعِىۡ مَآءَكِ وَيٰسَمَآءُ اَقۡلِعِىۡ وَغِيۡضَ الۡمَآءُ وَقُضِىَ الۡاَمۡرُ وَاسۡتَوَتۡ عَلَى الۡجُوۡدِىِّ‌ وَقِيۡلَ بُعۡدًا لِّـلۡقَوۡمِ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۴۴﴾

And it was said: O earth! Swallow thy water and, O sky! be cleared of clouds! And the water was made to subside. And the commandment was fulfilled. And it (the ship) came to rest upon (the mount) Al-Judi and it was said: A far removal for wrongdoing folk! ﴾44﴿

وَنَادٰى نُوۡحٌ رَّبَّهٗ فَقَالَ رَبِّ اِنَّ ابۡنِىۡ مِنۡ اَهۡلِىۡ وَاِنَّ وَعۡدَكَ الۡحَـقُّ وَاَنۡتَ اَحۡكَمُ الۡحٰكِمِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۴۵﴾

And Noah cried unto his Lord and said: My Lord! Lo! my son is of my household! Surely Thy promise is the truth and Thou are the Most Just of Judges. ﴾45﴿

قَالَ يٰـنُوۡحُ اِنَّهٗ لَـيۡسَ مِنۡ اَهۡلِكَ‌ ‌ۚاِنَّهٗ عَمَلٌ غَيۡرُ صٰلِحٍ‌‌ۖ فَلَا تَسۡــَٔلۡنِ مَا لَـيۡسَ لَـكَ بِهٖ عِلۡمٌ‌ؕ اِنِّىۡۤ اَعِظُكَ اَنۡ تَكُوۡنَ مِنَ الۡجٰهِلِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۴۶﴾

He said: O Noah! Lo! he is not of thy household; lo! he is of evil conduct, so ask not of Me that whereof thou hast no knowledge. I admonish thee lest thou be among the ignorant. ﴾46﴿

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّىۡۤ اَعُوۡذُ بِكَ اَنۡ اَسۡــَٔلَكَ مَا لَـيۡسَ لِىۡ بِهٖ عِلۡمٌ‌ؕ وَاِلَّا تَغۡفِرۡ لِىۡ وَتَرۡحَمۡنِىۡۤ اَكُنۡ مِّنَ الۡخٰسِرِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۴۷﴾

He said: My Lord! Lo! in Thee do I seek refuge (from the sin) that I should ask of Thee that whereof I have no knowledge. Unless Thou forgive me and have mercy on me I shall be among the lost. ﴾47﴿

قِيۡلَ يٰـنُوۡحُ اهۡبِطۡ بِسَلٰمٍ مِّنَّا وَبَرَكٰتٍ عَلَيۡكَ وَعَلٰٓى اُمَمٍ مِّمَّنۡ مَّعَكَ‌ؕ وَاُمَمٌ سَنُمَتِّعُهُمۡ ثُمَّ يَمَسُّهُمۡ مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ اَلِيۡمٌ‏ ﴿۴۸﴾

It was said (unto him): O Noah! Go thou down (from the mountain) with peace from Us and blessings upon thee and some nations (that will spring) from those with thee. (There will be other) nations unto whom We shall give enjoyment a long while and then a painful doom from Us will overtake them. ﴾48﴿

تِلۡكَ مِنۡ اَنۡۢبَآءِ الۡغَيۡبِ نُوۡحِيۡهَاۤ اِلَيۡكَ‌ۚ مَا كُنۡتَ تَعۡلَمُهَاۤ اَنۡتَ وَلَا قَوۡمُكَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِ هٰذَا‌ ‌ۛؕ فَاصۡبِرۡ‌ ‌ۛؕ اِنَّ الۡعَاقِبَةَ لِلۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۴۹﴾

This is of the tidings of the Unseen which We inspire in thee (Muhammad). Thou thyself knewest it not, nor did thy folk (know it) before this. Then have patience. Lo! the sequel is for those who ward off (evil). ﴾49﴿

وَاِلٰى عَادٍ اَخَاهُمۡ هُوۡدًا‌ؕ قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ اعۡبُدُوۡا اللّٰهَ مَا لَـكُمۡ مِّنۡ اِلٰهٍ غَيۡرُهٗ‌ؕ اِنۡ اَنۡتُمۡ اِلَّا مُفۡتَرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۵۰﴾

And unto (the tribe of) A'ad (We sent) their brother, Hud. He said: O my people! Serve Allah! Ye have no other Allah save Him. Lo! ye do but invent. ﴾50﴿

يٰقَوۡمِ لَاۤ اَسۡــَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ اَجۡرًا‌ؕ اِنۡ اَجۡرِىَ اِلَّا عَلَى الَّذِىۡ فَطَرَنِىۡ ؕ اَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۵۱﴾

O my people! I ask of you no reward for it. Lo! my reward is the concern only of Him Who made me. Have ye then no sense? ﴾51﴿

وَيٰقَوۡمِ اسۡتَغۡفِرُوۡا رَبَّكُمۡ ثُمَّ تُوۡبُوۡۤا اِلَيۡهِ يُرۡسِلِ السَّمَآءَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ مِّدۡرَارًا وَّيَزِدۡكُمۡ قُوَّةً اِلٰى قُوَّتِكُمۡ وَلَا تَتَوَلَّوۡا مُجۡرِمِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۵۲﴾

And, O my people! Ask forgiveness of your Lord, then turn unto Him repentant; He will cause the sky to rain abundance on you and will add unto you strength to your strength. Turn not away, guilty! ﴾52﴿

قَالُوۡا يٰهُوۡدُ مَا جِئۡتَنَا بِبَيِّنَةٍ وَّمَا نَحۡنُ بِتَارِكِىۡۤ اٰلِهَـتِنَا عَنۡ قَوۡلِكَ وَمَا نَحۡنُ لَـكَ بِمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۵۳﴾

They said: O Hud! Thou hast brought us no clear proof and we are not going to forsake our gods on thy (mere) saying, and we are not believers in thee. ﴾53﴿

اِنۡ نَّقُوۡلُ اِلَّا اعۡتَرٰٮكَ بَعۡضُ اٰلِهَتِنَا بِسُوۡٓءٍ‌ؕ قَالَ اِنِّىۡۤ اُشۡهِدُ اللّٰهَ وَاشۡهَدُوۡۤا اَنِّىۡ بَرِىۡٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُشۡرِكُوۡنَۙ‏ ﴿۵۴﴾

We say naught save that one of our gods hath possessed thee in an evil way. He said: I call Allah to witness, and do ye (too) bear witness, that I am innocent of (all) that ye ascribe as partners (to Allah) ﴾54﴿

مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖ‌ فَكِيۡدُوۡنِىۡ جَمِيۡعًا ثُمَّ لَا تُنۡظِرُوۡنِ‏ ﴿۵۵﴾

Beside Him. So (try to) circumvent me, all of you, give me no respite. ﴾55﴿

اِنِّىۡ تَوَكَّلۡتُ عَلَى اللّٰهِ رَبِّىۡ وَرَبِّكُمۡ‌ؕ مَا مِنۡ دَآبَّةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ اٰخِذٌۢ بِنَاصِيَتِهَاؕ اِنَّ رَبِّىۡ عَلٰى صِرٰطٍ مُّسۡتَقِيۡمٍ‏ ﴿۵۶﴾

Lo! I have put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Not an animal but He doth grasp it by the forelock! Lo! my Lord is on a straight path. ﴾56﴿

فَاِنۡ تَوَلَّوۡا فَقَدۡ اَبۡلَغۡتُكُمۡ مَّاۤ اُرۡسِلۡتُ بِهٖۤ اِلَيۡكُمۡ‌ؕ وَيَسۡتَخۡلِفُ رَبِّىۡ قَوۡمًا غَيۡرَكُمۡۚ وَلَا تَضُرُّوۡنَهٗ شَيۡــًٔا‌ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّىۡ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ حَفِيۡظٌ‏ ﴿۵۷﴾

And if ye turn away, still I have conveyed unto you that wherewith I was sent unto you, and my Lord will set in place of you a folk other than you. Ye cannot injure Him at all. Lo! my Lord is Guardian over all things. ﴾57﴿

وَ لَمَّا جَآءَ اَمۡرُنَا نَجَّيۡنَا هُوۡدًا وَّالَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا مَعَهٗ بِرَحۡمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَ نَجَّيۡنٰهُمۡ مِّنۡ عَذَابٍ غَلِيۡظٍ‏ ﴿۵۸﴾

And when Our commandment came to pass We saved Hud and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us; We saved them from a harsh doom. ﴾58﴿

وَتِلۡكَ عَادٌ‌ۙ جَحَدُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَعَصَوۡا رُسُلَهٗ وَاتَّبَعُوۡۤا اَمۡرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيۡدٍ‏ ﴿۵۹﴾

And such were A'ad. They denied the revelations of their Lord and flouted His messengers and followed the command of every froward potentate. ﴾59﴿

وَاُتۡبِعُوۡا فِىۡ هٰذِهِ الدُّنۡيَا لَعۡنَةً وَّيَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ‌ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ عَادًا كَفَرُوۡا رَبَّهُمۡ‌ؕ اَلَا بُعۡدًا لِّعَادٍ قَوۡمِ هُوۡدٍ‏ ﴿۶۰﴾

And a curse was made to follow them in the world and on the Day of Resurrection. Lo! A'ad disbelieved in their Lord. A far removal for A'ad, the folk of Hud! ﴾60﴿

‌وَاِلٰى ثَمُوۡدَ اَخَاهُمۡ صٰلِحًا‌ۘ قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ اعۡبُدُوۡا اللّٰهَ مَا لَـكُمۡ مِّنۡ اِلٰهٍ غَيۡرُهٗ‌ؕ هُوَ اَنۡشَاَكُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاَرۡضِ وَاسۡتَعۡمَرَكُمۡ فِيۡهَا فَاسۡتَغۡفِرُوۡهُ ثُمَّ تُوۡبُوۡۤا اِلَيۡهِ‌ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّىۡ قَرِيۡبٌ مُّجِيۡبٌ‏ ﴿۶۱﴾

And unto (the tribe of) Thamud (We sent) their brother Salih. He said: O my people! Serve Allah, Ye have no other Allah save Him. He brought you forth from the earth and hath made you husband it. So ask forgiveness of Him and turn unto Him repentant. Lo! my Lord is Nigh, Responsive. ﴾61﴿

قَالُوۡا يٰصٰلِحُ قَدۡ كُنۡتَ فِيۡنَا مَرۡجُوًّا قَبۡلَ هٰذَآ‌ اَتَـنۡهٰٮنَاۤ اَنۡ نَّـعۡبُدَ مَا يَعۡبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَا وَاِنَّنَا لَفِىۡ شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدۡعُوۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡهِ مُرِيۡبٍ‏ ﴿۶۲﴾

They said: O Salih! Thou hast been among us hitherto as that wherein our hope was placed. Dost thou ask us not to worship what our fathers worshipped? Lo! we verily are in grave doubt concerning that to which thou callest us. ﴾62﴿

قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ اَرَءَيۡتُمۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّىۡ وَاٰتٰٮنِىۡ مِنۡهُ رَحۡمَةً فَمَنۡ يَّـنۡصُرُنِىۡ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنۡ عَصَيۡتُهٗ‌ فَمَا تَزِيۡدُوۡنَنِىۡ غَيۡرَ تَخۡسِيۡرٍ‏ ﴿۶۳﴾

He said: O my people! Bethink you: if I am (acting) on clear proof from my Lord and there hath come unto me a mercy from Him, who will save me from Allah if I disobey Him? Ye would add to me naught save perdition. ﴾63﴿

وَيٰقَوۡمِ هٰذِهٖ نَاقَةُ اللّٰهِ لَـكُمۡ اٰيَةً فَذَرُوۡهَا تَاۡكُلۡ فِىۡۤ اَرۡضِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا تَمَسُّوۡهَا بِسُوۡٓءٍ فَيَاۡخُذَكُمۡ عَذَابٌ قَرِيۡبٌ‏ ﴿۶۴﴾

O my people! This is the camel of Allah, a token unto you, so suffer her to feed in Allah's earth, and touch her not with harm lest a near torment seize you. ﴾64﴿

فَعَقَرُوۡهَا فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعُوۡا فِىۡ دَارِكُمۡ ثَلٰثَةَ اَيَّامٍ‌ؕذٰلِكَ وَعۡدٌ غَيۡرُ مَكۡذُوۡبٍ‏ ﴿۶۵﴾

But they hamstrung her, and then he said: Enjoy life in your dwelling-place three days! This is a threat that will not be belied. ﴾65﴿

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمۡرُنَا نَجَّيۡنَا صٰلِحًـا وَّالَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا مَعَهٗ بِرَحۡمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَمِنۡ خِزۡىِ يَوۡمِٮِٕذٍ‌ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الۡقَوِىُّ الۡعَزِيۡزُ‏ ﴿۶۶﴾

So, when Our commandment came to pass, We saved Salih, and those who believed with him, by a mercy from Us, from the ignominy of that day. Lo, thy Lord! He is the Strong, the Mighty. ﴾66﴿

وَاَخَذَ الَّذِيۡنَ ظَلَمُوۡا الصَّيۡحَةُ فَاَصۡبَحُوۡا فِىۡ دِيَارِهِمۡ جٰثِمِيۡنَۙ‏ ﴿۶۷﴾

And the (awful) Cry overtook those who did wrong, so that morning found them prostrate in their dwellings, ﴾67﴿

كَاَنۡ لَّمۡ يَغۡنَوۡا فِيۡهَا‌ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ ثَمُوۡدَا۟ كَفَرُوۡا رَبَّهُمۡ‌ؕ اَلَا بُعۡدًا لِّـثَمُوۡدَ‏ ﴿۶۸﴾

As though they had not dwelt there. Lo! Thamud disbelieved in their Lord. A far removal for Thamud! ﴾68﴿

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُنَاۤ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ بِالۡبُشۡرٰى قَالُوۡا سَلٰمًا‌ؕ قَالَ سَلٰمٌ‌ فَمَا لَبِثَ اَنۡ جَآءَ بِعِجۡلٍ حَنِيۡذٍ‏ ﴿۶۹﴾

And Our messengers cam unto Abraham with good news. They said: Peace! He answered: Peace! and delayed not to bring a roasted calf. ﴾69﴿

فَلَمَّا رَاٰۤ اَيۡدِيَهُمۡ لَا تَصِلُ اِلَيۡهِ نَكِرَهُمۡ وَاَوۡجَسَ مِنۡهُمۡ خِيۡفَةً‌ ؕ قَالُوۡا لَا تَخَفۡ اِنَّاۤ اُرۡسِلۡنَاۤ اِلٰى قَوۡمِ لُوۡطٍؕ‏ ﴿۷۰﴾

And when he saw their hands reached not to it, he mistrusted them and conceived a fear of them. They said: Fear not! Lo! we are sent unto the folk of Lot. ﴾70﴿

وَامۡرَاَتُهٗ قَآٮِٕمَةٌ فَضَحِكَتۡ فَبَشَّرۡنٰهَا بِاِسۡحٰقَۙ وَمِنۡ وَّرَآءِ اِسۡحٰقَ يَعۡقُوۡبَ‏ ﴿۷۱﴾

And his wife, standing by laughed when We gave her good tidings (of the birth) of Isaac, and, after Isaac, of Jacob. ﴾71﴿

قَالَتۡ يٰوَيۡلَتٰٓى ءَاَلِدُ وَاَنَا عَجُوۡزٌ وَّهٰذَا بَعۡلِىۡ شَيۡخًا‌ؕ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَشَىۡءٌ عَجِيۡبٌ‏ ﴿۷۲﴾

She said: Oh woe is me! Shall I bear a child when I am an old woman, and this my husband is an old man? Lo! this is a strange thing! ﴾72﴿

قَالُوۡۤا اَتَعۡجَبِيۡنَ مِنۡ اَمۡرِ اللّٰهِ‌ رَحۡمَتُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكٰتُهٗ عَلَيۡكُمۡ اَهۡلَ الۡبَيۡتِ‌ؕ اِنَّهٗ حَمِيۡدٌ مَّجِيۡدٌ‏ ﴿۷۳﴾

They said: Wonderest thou at the commandment of Allah? The mercy of Allah and His blessings be upon you, O people of the house! Lo! He is Owner of Praise, Owner of Glory! ﴾73﴿

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنۡ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ الرَّوۡعُ وَجَآءَتۡهُ الۡبُشۡرٰى يُجَادِلُــنَا فِىۡ قَوۡمِ لُوۡطٍؕ‏ ﴿۷۴﴾

And when the awe departed from Abraham, and the glad news reached him, he pleaded with Us on behalf of the folk of Lot. ﴾74﴿

اِنَّ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ لَحَـلِيۡمٌ اَوَّاهٌ مُّنِيۡبٌ‏ ﴿۷۵﴾

Lo! Abraham was mild, imploring, penitent. ﴾75﴿

يٰۤاِبۡرٰهِيۡمُ اَعۡرِضۡ عَنۡ هٰذَاۚ اِنَّهٗ قَدۡ جَآءَ اَمۡرُ رَبِّكَ‌ۚ وَاِنَّهُمۡ اٰتِيۡهِمۡ عَذَابٌ غَيۡرُ مَرۡدُوۡدٍ‏ ﴿۷۶﴾

(It was said) O Abraham! Forsake this! Lo! thy Lord's commandment hath gone forth, and lo! there cometh unto them a doom which cannot be repelled. ﴾76﴿

وَلَمَّا جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُـنَا لُوۡطًا سِىۡٓءَ بِهِمۡ وَضَاقَ بِهِمۡ ذَرۡعًا وَّقَالَ هٰذَا يَوۡمٌ عَصِيۡبٌ‏ ﴿۷۷﴾

And when Our messengers came unto Lot, he was distressed and knew not how to protect them. He said: This is a distressful day. ﴾77﴿

وَجَآءَهٗ قَوۡمُهٗ يُهۡرَعُوۡنَ اِلَيۡهِؕ وَمِنۡ قَبۡلُ كَانُوۡا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ السَّيِّاٰتِ‌ؕ قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ هٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِىۡ هُنَّ اَطۡهَرُ لَـكُمۡ‌ۚ فَاتَّقُوۡا اللّٰهَ وَلَا تُخۡزُوۡنِ فِىۡ ضَيۡفِىۡؕ اَلَيۡسَ مِنۡكُمۡ رَجُلٌ رَّشِيۡدٌ‏ ﴿۷۸﴾

And his people came unto him, running towards him - and before then they used to commit abominations - He said: O my people! Here are my daughters! They are purer for you. Beware of Allah, and degrade me not in (the person of) my guests. Is there not among you any upright man? ﴾78﴿

قَالُوۡا لَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتَ مَا لَـنَا فِىۡ بَنٰتِكَ مِنۡ حَقٍّ‌ۚ وَّاِنَّكَ لَـتَعۡلَمُ مَا نُرِيۡدُ‏ ﴿۷۹﴾

They said: Well thou knowest that we have no right to thy daughters, and well thou knowest what we want. ﴾79﴿

قَالَ لَوۡ اَنَّ لِىۡ بِكُمۡ قُوَّةً اَوۡ اَ اوِىۡۤ اِلٰى رُكۡنٍ شَدِيۡدٍ‏ ﴿۸۰﴾

He said: Would that I had strength to resist you or had some strong support (among you)! ﴾80﴿

قَالُوۡا يٰلُوۡطُ اِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَنۡ يَّصِلُوۡۤا اِلَيۡكَ‌ فَاَسۡرِ بِاَهۡلِكَ بِقِطۡعٍ مِّنَ الَّيۡلِ وَلَا يَلۡتَفِتۡ مِنۡكُمۡ اَحَدٌ اِلَّا امۡرَاَتَكَ‌ؕ اِنَّهٗ مُصِيۡبُهَا مَاۤ اَصَابَهُمۡ‌ؕ اِنَّ مَوۡعِدَهُمُ الصُّبۡحُ‌ؕ اَلَيۡسَ الصُّبۡحُ بِقَرِيۡبٍ‏ ﴿۸۱﴾

(The messengers) said: O Lot! Lo! we are messengers of thy Lord; they shall not reach thee. So travel with thy people in a part of the night, and let not one of you turn round - (all) save thy wife. Lo! that which smiteth them will smite her (also). Lo! their tryst is (for) the morning. Is not the morning nigh? ﴾81﴿

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمۡرُنَا جَعَلۡنَا عَالِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَاَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهَا حِجَارَةً مِّنۡ سِجِّيۡلٍۙ  مَّنۡضُوۡدٍۙ‏ ﴿۸۲﴾

So when Our commandment came to pass We overthrew (that township) and rained upon it stones of clay, one after another, ﴾82﴿

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِنۡدَ رَبِّكَ‌ؕ وَ مَا هِىَ مِنَ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ بِبَعِيۡدٍ‏ ﴿۸۳﴾

Marked with fire in the providence of thy Lord (for the destruction of the wicked). And they are never far from the wrong-doers. ﴾83﴿

وَاِلٰى مَدۡيَنَ اَخَاهُمۡ شُعَيۡبًا‌ؕ قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ اعۡبُدُوۡا اللّٰهَ مَا لَـكُمۡ مِّنۡ اِلٰهٍ غَيۡرُهٗ‌ؕ وَلَا تَـنۡقُصُوۡا الۡمِكۡيَالَ وَالۡمِيۡزَانَ‌ اِنِّىۡۤ اَرٰٮكُمۡ بِخَيۡرٍ وَّاِنِّىۡۤ اَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ مُّحِيۡطٍ‏ ﴿۸۴﴾

And unto Midian (We sent) their brother Shu'eyb. He said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other Allah save Him! And give not short measure and short weight. Lo! I see you well-to-do, and lo! I fear for you the doom of a besetting Day. ﴾84﴿

وَيٰقَوۡمِ اَوۡفُوۡا الۡمِكۡيَالَ وَالۡمِيۡزَانَ بِالۡقِسۡطِ‌ وَلَا تَبۡخَسُوۡا النَّاسَ اَشۡيَآءَهُمۡ وَلَا تَعۡثَوۡا فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِ مُفۡسِدِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۸۵﴾

O my people! Give full measure and full weight in justice, and wrong not people in respect of their goods. And do not evil in the earth, causing corruption. ﴾85﴿

بَقِيَّتُ اللّٰهِ خَيۡرٌ لَّـكُمۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ مُّؤۡمِنِيۡنَ‌  ۚ وَمَاۤ اَنَا عَلَيۡكُمۡ بِحَفِيۡظٍ‏ ﴿۸۶﴾

That which Allah leaveth with you is better for you if ye are believers; and I am not a keeper over you. ﴾86﴿

قَالُوۡا يٰشُعَيۡبُ اَصَلٰوتُكَ تَاۡمُرُكَ اَنۡ نَّتۡرُكَ مَا يَعۡبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَاۤ اَوۡ اَنۡ نَّـفۡعَلَ فِىۡۤ اَمۡوٰلِنَا مَا نَشٰٓؤُا‌ؕ اِنَّكَ لَاَنۡتَ الۡحَـلِيۡمُ الرَّشِيۡدُ‏ ﴿۸۷﴾

They said: O Shu'eyb! Doth thy way of prayer command thee that we should forsake that which our fathers (used to) worship, or that we (should leave off) doing what we will with our own property. Lo! thou art the mild, the guide to right behaviour. ﴾87﴿

قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ اَرَءَيۡتُمۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّىۡ وَرَزَقَنِىۡ مِنۡهُ رِزۡقًا حَسَنًا‌ؕ وَمَاۤ اُرِيۡدُ اَنۡ اُخَالِفَكُمۡ اِلٰى مَاۤ اَنۡهٰٮكُمۡ عَنۡهُ‌ؕ اِنۡ اُرِيۡدُ اِلَّا الۡاِصۡلَاحَ مَا اسۡتَطَعۡتُ‌ؕ وَمَا تَوۡفِيۡقِىۡۤ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ‌ؕ عَلَيۡهِ تَوَكَّلۡتُ وَاِلَيۡهِ اُنِيۡبُ‏ ﴿۸۸﴾

He said: O my people! Bethink you: if I am (acting) on a clear proof from my Lord and He sustaineth me with fair sustenance from Him (how can I concede aught to you)? I desire not to do behind your backs that which I ask you not to do. I desire naught save reform so far as I am able. My welfare is only in Allah. In Him I trust and unto Him I turn (repentant). ﴾88﴿

وَيٰقَوۡمِ لَا يَجۡرِمَنَّكُمۡ شِقَاقِىۡۤ اَنۡ يُّصِيۡبَكُمۡ مِّثۡلُ مَاۤ اَصَابَ قَوۡمَ نُوۡحٍ اَوۡ قَوۡمَ هُوۡدٍ اَوۡ قَوۡمَ صٰلِحٍ‌ؕ وَمَا قَوۡمُ لُوۡطٍ مِّنۡكُمۡ بِبَعِيۡدٍ‏ ﴿۸۹﴾

And, O my people! Let not the schism with me cause you to sin so that there befall you that which befell the folk of Noah and the folk of Hud, and the folk of Salih; and the folk of Lot are not far off from you. ﴾89﴿

وَاسۡتَغۡفِرُوۡا رَبَّكُمۡ ثُمَّ تُوۡبُوۡۤا اِلَيۡهِ‌ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّىۡ رَحِيۡمٌ وَّدُوۡدٌ‏ ﴿۹۰﴾

Ask pardon of your Lord and then turn unto Him (repentant). Lo! my Lord is Merciful, Loving. ﴾90﴿

قَالُوۡا يٰشُعَيۡبُ مَا نَفۡقَهُ كَثِيۡرًا مِّمَّا تَقُوۡلُ وَاِنَّا لَـنَرٰٮكَ فِيۡنَا ضَعِيۡفًا‌ۚ وَّلَوۡلَا رَهۡطُكَ لَرَجَمۡنٰكَ‌ وَمَاۤ اَنۡتَ عَلَيۡنَا بِعَزِيۡزٍ‏ ﴿۹۱﴾

They said: O Shu'eyb! We understand not much of that thou tellest, and lo! we do behold thee weak among us. But for thy family, we should have stoned thee, for thou art not strong against us. ﴾91﴿

قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ اَرَهۡطِىۡۤ اَعَزُّ عَلَيۡكُمۡ مِّنَ اللّٰهِؕ وَ اتَّخَذۡتُمُوۡهُ وَرَآءَكُمۡ ظِهۡرِيًّا‌ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّىۡ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ مُحِيۡطٌ‏ ﴿۹۲﴾

He said: O my people! Is my family more to be honoured by you than Allah? and ye put Him behind you, neglected! Lo! my Lord surroundeth what ye do. ﴾92﴿

وَيٰقَوۡمِ اعۡمَلُوۡا عَلٰى مَكَانَتِكُمۡ اِنِّىۡ عَامِلٌ‌ؕ سَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَۙ مَنۡ يَّاۡتِيۡهِ عَذَابٌ يُّخۡزِيۡهِ وَمَنۡ هُوَ كَاذِبٌ‌ؕ وَارۡتَقِبُوۡۤا اِنِّىۡ مَعَكُمۡ رَقِيۡبٌ‏ ﴿۹۳﴾

And, O my people! Act according to your power, lo! I (too) am acting. Ye will soon know on whom there cometh a doom that will abase him, and who it is that lieth. And watch! Lo! I am a watcher with you. ﴾93﴿

وَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمۡرُنَا نَجَّيۡنَا شُعَيۡبًا وَّالَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا مَعَهٗ بِرَحۡمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَاَخَذَتِ الَّذِيۡنَ ظَلَمُوۡا الصَّيۡحَةُ فَاَصۡبَحُوۡا فِىۡ دِيَارِهِمۡ جٰثِمِيۡنَۙ‏ ﴿۹۴﴾

And when Our commandment came to pass We saved Shu'eyb and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us; and the (Awful) Cry seized those who did injustice, and morning found them prostrate in their dwellings, ﴾94﴿

كَاَنۡ لَّمۡ يَغۡنَوۡا فِيۡهَا‌ؕ اَلَا بُعۡدًا لِّمَدۡيَنَ كَمَا بَعِدَتۡ ثَمُوۡدُ‏ ﴿۹۵﴾

As though they had not dwelt there. A far removal for Midian, even as Thamud had been removed afar! ﴾95﴿

وَلَقَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا مُوۡسٰى بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَسُلۡطٰنٍ مُّبِيۡنٍۙ‏ ﴿۹۶﴾

And verily We sent Moses with Our revelations and a clear warrant ﴾96﴿

اِلٰى فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَمَلَاِ۟ ٮِٕهٖ فَاتَّبَعُوۡۤا اَمۡرَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ‌ۚ وَمَاۤ اَمۡرُ فِرۡعَوۡنَ بِرَشِيۡدٍ‏ ﴿۹۷﴾

Unto Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they did follow the command of Pharaoh, and the command of Pharaoh was no right guide. ﴾97﴿

يَقۡدُمُ قَوۡمَهٗ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ فَاَوۡرَدَهُمُ النَّارَ‌ؕ وَبِئۡسَ الۡوِرۡدُ الۡمَوۡرُوۡدُ‏ ﴿۹۸﴾

He will go before his people on the Day of Resurrection and will lead them to the Fire for watering-place. Ah, hapless is the watering-place (whither they are) led. ﴾98﴿

وَاُتۡبِعُوۡا فِىۡ هٰذِهٖ لَـعۡنَةً وَّيَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ‌ؕ بِئۡسَ الرِّفۡدُ الۡمَرۡفُوۡدُ‏ ﴿۹۹﴾

A curse is made to follow them in the world and on the Day of Resurrection. Hapless is the gift (that will be) given (them). ﴾99﴿

ذٰلِكَ مِنۡ اَنۡۢبَآءِ الۡقُرٰى نَقُصُّهٗ عَلَيۡكَ‌ مِنۡهَا قَآٮِٕمٌ وَّحَصِيۡدٌ‏ ﴿۱۰۰﴾

That is (something) of the tidings of the townships (which were destroyed of old). We relate it unto thee (Muhammad). Some of them are standing and some (already) reaped. ﴾100﴿

وَمَا ظَلَمۡنٰهُمۡ وَلٰـكِنۡ ظَلَمُوۡۤا اَنۡفُسَهُمۡ‌ فَمَاۤ اَغۡنَتۡ عَنۡهُمۡ اٰلِهَتُهُمُ الَّتِىۡ يَدۡعُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ مِنۡ شَىۡءٍ لَّمَّا جَآءَ اَمۡرُ رَبِّكَؕ‌ وَمَا زَادُوۡهُمۡ غَيۡرَ تَتۡبِيۡبٍ‏ ﴿۱۰۱﴾

We wronged them not, but they did wrong themselves; and their gods on whom they call beside Allah availed them naught when came thy Lord's command; they added to them naught save ruin. ﴾101﴿

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَخۡذُ رَبِّكَ اِذَاۤ اَخَذَ الۡقُرٰى وَهِىَ ظَالِمَةٌ‌ ؕ اِنَّ اَخۡذَهٗۤ اَلِيۡمٌ شَدِيۡدٌ‏ ﴿۱۰۲﴾

Even thus is the grasp of thy Lord when He graspeth the townships while they are doing wrong. Lo! His grasp is painful, very strong. ﴾102﴿

اِنَّ فِىۡ ذٰلِكَ لَاَيَةً لِّمَنۡ خَافَ عَذَابَ الۡاٰخِرَةِ‌ؕ ذٰلِكَ يَوۡمٌ مَّجۡمُوۡعٌ ۙ لَّهُ النَّاسُ وَذٰلِكَ يَوۡمٌ مَّشۡهُوۡدٌ‏ ﴿۱۰۳﴾

Lo! herein verily there is a portent for those who fear the doom of the Hereafter. That is a day unto which mankind will be gathered, and that is a day that will be witnessed. ﴾103﴿

وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهٗۤ اِلَّا لِاَجَلٍ مَّعۡدُوۡدٍؕ‏ ﴿۱۰۴﴾

And We defer it only to a term already reckoned. ﴾104﴿

يَوۡمَ يَاۡتِ لَا تَكَلَّمُ نَفۡسٌ اِلَّا بِاِذۡنِهٖ‌ۚ فَمِنۡهُمۡ شَقِىٌّ وَّسَعِيۡدٌ‏ ﴿۱۰۵﴾

On the day when it cometh no soul will speak except by His permission; some among them will be wretched, (others) glad. ﴾105﴿

فَاَمَّا الَّذِيۡنَ شَقُوۡا فَفِىۡ النَّارِ لَهُمۡ فِيۡهَا زَفِيۡرٌ وَّشَهِيۡقٌۙ‏ ﴿۱۰۶﴾

As for those who will be wretched (on that day) they will be in the Fire; sighing and wailing will be their portion therein, ﴾106﴿

خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالۡاَرۡضُ اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَ‌ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيۡدُ‏ ﴿۱۰۷﴾

Abiding there so long as the heavens and the earth endure save for that which thy Lord willeth. Lo! thy Lord is Doer of what He will. ﴾107﴿

وَاَمَّا الَّذِيۡنَ سُعِدُوۡا فَفِىۡ الۡجَـنَّةِ خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالۡاَرۡضُ اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَ‌ؕ عَطَآءً غَيۡرَ مَجۡذُوۡذٍ‏ ﴿۱۰۸﴾

And as for those who will be glad (that day) they will be in the Garden, abiding there so long as the heavens and the earth endure save for that which thy Lord willeth: a gift unfailing. ﴾108﴿

فَلَا تَكُ فِىۡ مِرۡيَةٍ مِّمَّا يَعۡبُدُ هٰٓؤُلَآءِ‌ؕ مَا يَعۡبُدُوۡنَ اِلَّا كَمَا يَعۡبُدُ اٰبَآؤُهُمۡ مِّنۡ قَبۡلُ‌ؕ وَاِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوۡهُمۡ نَصِيۡبَهُمۡ غَيۡرَ مَنۡقُوۡصٍ‏ ﴿۱۰۹﴾

So be not thou in doubt concerning that which these (folk) worship. They worship only as their fathers worshipped aforetime. Lo! we shall pay them their whole due unabated. ﴾109﴿

وَلَقَدۡ اٰتَيۡنَا مُوۡسَى الۡكِتٰبَ فَاخۡتُلِفَ فِيۡهِ‌ؕ وَ لَوۡلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتۡ مِنۡ رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِىَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ‌ؕ وَاِنَّهُمۡ لَفِىۡ شَكٍّ مِّنۡهُ مُرِيۡبٍ‏ ﴿۱۱۰﴾

And we verily gave unto Moses the Scripture, and there was strife thereupon; and had it not been for a Word that had already gone forth from thy Lord, the case would have been judged between them, and lo! they are in grave doubt concerning it. ﴾110﴿

وَاِنَّ كُلاًّ لَّمَّا لَيُوَفِّيَنَّهُمۡ رَبُّكَ اَعۡمَالَهُمۡ‌ؕ اِنَّهٗ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ خَبِيۡرٌ‏ ﴿۱۱۱﴾

And lo! unto each thy Lord will verily repay his works in full. Lo! He is Informed of what they do. ﴾111﴿

فَاسۡتَقِمۡ كَمَاۤ اُمِرۡتَ وَمَنۡ تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلَا تَطۡغَوۡا‌ؕ اِنَّهٗ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ بَصِيۡرٌ‏ ﴿۱۱۲﴾

So tread thou the straight path as thou art commanded, and those who turn (unto Allah) with thee, and transgress not. Lo! He is Seer of what ye do. ﴾112﴿

وَلَا تَرۡكَنُوۡۤا اِلَى الَّذِيۡنَ ظَلَمُوۡا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُۙ وَمَا لَـكُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ مِنۡ اَوۡلِيَآءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنۡصَرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۱۳﴾

And incline not toward those who do wrong lest the Fire touch you, and ye have no protecting friends against Allah, and afterward ye would not be helped. ﴾113﴿

وَاَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ طَرَفَىِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِّنَ الَّيۡلِ‌ؕ اِنَّ الۡحَسَنٰتِ يُذۡهِبۡنَ السَّيِّاٰتِ‌ؕ ذٰلِكَ ذِكۡرٰى لِلذّٰكِرِيۡنَ‌ۚ‏ ﴿۱۱۴﴾

Establish worship at the two ends of the day and in some watches of the night. Lo! good deeds annul ill-deeds. This is reminder for the mindful. ﴾114﴿

وَاصۡبِرۡ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُضِيۡعُ اَجۡرَ الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۱۵﴾

And have patience, (O Muhammad), for lo! Allah loseth not the wages of the good. ﴾115﴿

فَلَوۡ لَا كَانَ مِنَ الۡقُرُوۡنِ مِنۡ قَبۡلِكُمۡ اُولُوۡا بَقِيَّةٍ يَّـنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ الۡفَسَادِ فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلاً مِّمَّنۡ اَنۡجَيۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡ‌ۚ وَاتَّبَعَ الَّذِيۡنَ ظَلَمُوۡا مَاۤ اُتۡرِفُوۡا فِيۡهِ وَكَانُوۡا مُجۡرِمِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۱۶﴾

If only there had been among the generations before you men possessing a remnant (of good sense) to warn (their people) from corruption in the earth, as did a few of those whom We saved from them! The wrong-doers followed that by which they were made sapless, and were guilty. ﴾116﴿

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهۡلِكَ الۡقُرٰى بِظُلۡمٍ وَّاَهۡلُهَا مُصۡلِحُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۱۷﴾

In truth thy Lord destroyed not the townships tyrannously while their folk were doing right. ﴾117﴿

وَلَوۡ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَـعَلَ النَّاسَ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً‌ وَّلَا يَزَالُوۡنَ مُخۡتَلِفِيۡنَۙ‏ ﴿۱۱۸﴾

And if thy Lord had willed, He verily would have made mankind one nation, yet they cease not differing, ﴾118﴿

اِلَّا مَنۡ رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَ‌ؕ وَلِذٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمۡ‌ؕ وَتَمَّتۡ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَاَمۡلَـئَنَّ جَهَـنَّمَ مِنَ الۡجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۱۹﴾

Save him on whom thy Lord hath mercy; and for that He did create them. And the Word of thy Lord hath been fulfilled: Verily I shall fill hell with the jinn and mankind together. ﴾119﴿

وَكُلاًّ نَّقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ مِنۡ اَنۡۢبَآءِ الرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهٖ فُؤَادَكَ‌ۚ وَجَآءَكَ فِىۡ هٰذِهِ الۡحَـقُّ وَمَوۡعِظَةٌ وَّذِكۡرٰى لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۲۰﴾

And all that We relate unto thee of the story of the messengers is in order that thereby We may make firm thy heart. And herein hath come unto thee the Truth and an exhortation and a reminder for believers. ﴾120﴿

وَقُل لِّـلَّذِيۡنَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ اعۡمَلُوۡا عَلٰى مَكَانَتِكُمۡؕ اِنَّا عٰمِلُوۡنَۙ‏ ﴿۱۲۱﴾

And say unto those who believe not: Act according to your power. Lo! We (too) are acting. ﴾121﴿

وَانْـتَظِرُوۡا‌ۚ اِنَّا مُنۡتَظِرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۲۲﴾

And wait! Lo! We (too) are waiting. ﴾122﴿

وَلِلّٰهِ غَيۡبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَاِلَيۡهِ يُرۡجَعُ الۡاَمۡرُ كُلُّهٗ فَاعۡبُدۡهُ وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَيۡهِ‌ؕ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ‏ ﴿۱۲۳﴾

And Allah's is the Invisible of the heavens and the earth, and unto Him the whole matter will be returned. So worship Him and put thy trust in Him. Lo! thy Lord is not unaware of what ye (mortals) do. ﴾123﴿
