والكتاب المبين
By the Scripture which maketh plain,
I swear by the Book that makes things clear:
وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
إنا جعلناه قرآنا عربيا لعلكم تعقلون
Lo! We have appointed it a Lecture, in Arabic that haply ye may understand.
Surely We have made it an Arabic Quran that you may understand.
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهُ قُرْءَٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
وإنه في أم الكتاب لدينا لعلي حكيم
And Lo! in the Source of Decrees, which We possess, it is indeed sublime, decisive.
And surely it is in the original of the Book with Us, truly elevated, full of wisdom.
وَإِنَّهُۥ فِىٓ أُمِّ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لَدَيْنَا لَعَلِىٌّ حَكِيمٌ
أفنضرب عنكم الذكر صفحا أن كنتم قوما مسرفين
Shall We utterly ignore you because ye are a wanton folk ?
What! shall We then turn away the reminder from you altogether because you are an extravagant people?
أَفَنَضْرِبُ عَنكُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَ صَفْحًا أَن كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا مُّسْرِفِينَ
وكم أرسلنا من نبي في الأولين
How many a prophet did We send among the men of old!
And how many a prophet have We sent among the ancients.
وَكَمْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن نَّبِىٍّ فِى ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
وما يأتيهم من نبي إلا كانوا به يستهزئون
And never came there unto them a prophet but they used to mock him.
And there came not to them a prophet but they mocked at him.
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن نَّبِىٍّ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
فأهلكنا أشد منهم بطشا ومضى مثل الأولين
Then We destroyed men mightier than these in prowess; and the example of the men of old hath gone (before them).
Then We destroyed those who were stronger than these in prowess, and the case of the ancients has gone before,
فَأَهْلَكْنَآ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُم بَطْشًا وَمَضَىٰ مَثَلُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
ولئن سألتهم من خلق السماوات والأرض ليقولن خلقهن العزيز العليم
And if thou (Muhammad) ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth, they will surely answer: The Mighty, the Knower created them;
And if you should ask them, Who created the heavens and the earth? they would most certainly say: The Mighty, the Knowing One, has created them;
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
الذي جعل لكم الأرض مهدا وجعل لكم فيها سبلا لعلكم تهتدون
Who made the earth a resting - place for you, and placed roads for you therein, that haply ye may find your way;
He Who made the earth a resting - place for you, and made in it ways for you that you may go aright;
ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ
والذي نزل من السماء ماء بقدر فأنشرنا به بلدة ميتا ۚ كذلك تخرجون
And Who sendeth down water from the sky in (due) measure, and We revive a dead land therewith. Even so will ye be brought forth;
And He Who sends down water from the cloud according to a measure, then We raise to life thereby a dead country, even thus shall you be brought forth;
وَٱلَّذِى نَزَّلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۢ بِقَدَرٍ فَأَنشَرْنَا بِهِۦ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا كَذَٰلِكَ تُخْرَجُونَ
والذي خلق الأزواج كلها وجعل لكم من الفلك والأنعام ما تركبون
He Who created all the pairs, and appointed for you ships and cattle whereupon ye ride.
And He Who created pairs of all things, and made for you of the ships and the cattle what you ride on,
وَٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْأَزْوَٰجَ كُلَّهَا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْفُلْكِ وَٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ مَا تَرْكَبُونَ
لتستووا على ظهوره ثم تذكروا نعمة ربكم إذا استويتم عليه وتقولوا سبحان الذي سخر لنا هذا وما كنا له مقرنين
That ye may mount upon their backs, and may remember your Lord's favour when ye mount thereon, and may say: Glorified be He Who hath subdued these unto us, and we were not capable (of subduing them);
That you may firmly sit on their backs, then remember the favor of your Lord when you are firmly seated thereon, and say: Glory be to Him Who made this subservient to us and we were not able to do it
لِتَسْتَوُۥا۟ عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِۦ ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَةَ رَبِّكُمْ إِذَا ٱسْتَوَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَتَقُولُوا۟ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱلَّذِى سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُۥ مُقْرِنِينَ
وإنا إلى ربنا لمنقلبون
And lo! unto our Lord we surely are returning.
And surely to our Lord we must return.
وَإِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ
وجعلوا له من عباده جزءا ۚ إن الإنسان لكفور مبين
And they allot to Him a portion of His bondmen! Lo! man is verily a mere ingrate.
And they assign to Him a part of His servants; man, to be sure, is clearly ungrateful.
وَجَعَلُوا۟ لَهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ جُزْءًا إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَكَفُورٌ مُّبِينٌ
أم اتخذ مما يخلق بنات وأصفاكم بالبنين
Or chooseth He daughters of all that He hath created, and honoureth He you with sons ?
What! has He taken daughters to Himself of what He Himself creates and chosen you to have sons?
أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ بَنَاتٍ وَأَصْفَىٰكُم بِٱلْبَنِينَ
وإذا بشر أحدهم بما ضرب للرحمن مثلا ظل وجهه مسودا وهو كظيم
And if one of them hath tidings of that which he likeneth to the Beneficent One, his countenance becometh black and he is full of inward rage.
And when one of them is given news of that of which he sets up as a likeness for the Beneficent Allah, his face becomes black and he is full of rage.
وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ مَثَلًا ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُۥ مُسْوَدًّا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ
أومن ينشأ في الحلية وهو في الخصام غير مبين
(Liken they then to Allah) that which is bred up in outward show, and in dispute cannot make itself plain ?
What! that which is made in ornaments and which in contention is unable to make plain speech!
أَوَمَن يُنَشَّؤُا۟ فِى ٱلْحِلْيَةِ وَهُوَ فِى ٱلْخِصَامِ غَيْرُ مُبِينٍ
وجعلوا الملائكة الذين هم عباد الرحمن إناثا ۚ أشهدوا خلقهم ۚ ستكتب شهادتهم ويسألون
And they make the angels, who are the slaves of the Beneficent, females. Did they witness their creation ? Their testimony will be recorded and they will be questioned.
And they make the angels - - them who are the servants of the Beneficent Allah - - female (divinities). What! did they witness their creation? Their evidence shall be written down and they shall be questioned.
وَجَعَلُوا۟ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عِبَٰدُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ إِنَٰثًا أَشَهِدُوا۟ خَلْقَهُمْ سَتُكْتَبُ شَهَٰدَتُهُمْ وَيُسْـَٔلُونَ
وقالوا لو شاء الرحمن ما عبدناهم ۗ ما لهم بذلك من علم ۖ إن هم إلا يخرصون
And they say: If the Beneficent One had (so) willed, we should not have worshipped them. They have no knowledge whatsoever of that. They do but guess.
And they say: If the Beneficent Allah had pleased, we should never have worshipped them. They have no knowledge of this; they only lie.
وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْ شَآءَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ مَا عَبَدْنَٰهُم مَّا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ
أم آتيناهم كتابا من قبله فهم به مستمسكون
Or have We given them any scripture before (this Qur'an) so that they are holding fast thereto ?
Or have We given them a book before it so that they hold fast to it?
أَمْ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُمْ كِتَٰبًا مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ فَهُم بِهِۦ مُسْتَمْسِكُونَ
بل قالوا إنا وجدنا آباءنا على أمة وإنا على آثارهم مهتدون
Nay, for they say only: Lo! we found our fathers following a religion, and we are guided by their footprints.
Nay! they say: We found our fathers on a course, and surely we are guided by their footsteps.
بَلْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم مُّهْتَدُونَ
وكذلك ما أرسلنا من قبلك في قرية من نذير إلا قال مترفوها إنا وجدنا آباءنا على أمة وإنا على آثارهم مقتدون
And even so We sent not a warner before thee (Muhammad) into any township but its luxurious ones said: Lo! we found our fathers following a religion, and we are following their footprints.
And thus, We did not send before you any warner in a town, but those who led easy lives in it said: Surely we found our fathers on a course, and surely we are followers of their footsteps.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِى قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوهَآ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم مُّقْتَدُونَ
۞ قال أولو جئتكم بأهدى مما وجدتم عليه آباءكم ۖ قالوا إنا بما أرسلتم به كافرون
(And the warner) said: What! Even though I bring you better guidance than that ye found your fathers following ? They answered: Lo! in what ye bring we are disbelievers.
(The warner) said: What! even if I bring to you a better guide than that on which you found your fathers? They said: Surely we are unbelievers in that with which you are sent.
قَٰلَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكُم بِأَهْدَىٰ مِمَّا وَجَدتُّمْ عَلَيْهِ ءَابَآءَكُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا بِمَآ أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ
فانتقمنا منهم ۖ فانظر كيف كان عاقبة المكذبين
So We requited them. Then see the nature of the consequence for the rejecters!
So We inflicted retribution on them, then see how was the end of the rejecters.
فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
وإذ قال إبراهيم لأبيه وقومه إنني براء مما تعبدون
And when Abraham said unto his father and his folk: Lo! I am innocent of what ye worship
And when Ibrahim said to his father and his people: Surely I am clear of what you worship,
وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَٰهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنَّنِى بَرَآءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ
إلا الذي فطرني فإنه سيهدين
Save Him Who did create me, for He will surely guide me.
Save Him Who created me, for surely He will guide me.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنِى فَإِنَّهُۥ سَيَهْدِينِ
وجعلها كلمة باقية في عقبه لعلهم يرجعون
And he made it a word enduring among his seed, that haply they might return.
And he made it a word to continue in his posterity that they may return.
وَجَعَلَهَا كَلِمَةًۢ بَاقِيَةً فِى عَقِبِهِۦ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
بل متعت هؤلاء وآباءهم حتى جاءهم الحق ورسول مبين
Nay, but I let these and their fathers enjoy life (only) till there should come unto them the Truth and a messenger making plain.
Nay! I gave them and their fathers to enjoy until there came to them the truth and an Apostle making manifest (the truth).
بَلْ مَتَّعْتُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ وَرَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ
ولما جاءهم الحق قالوا هذا سحر وإنا به كافرون
And now that the Truth hath come unto them they say: This is mere magic, and lo! we are disbelievers therein.
And when there came to them the truth they said: This is magic, and surely we are disbelievers in it.
وَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ قَالُوا۟ هَٰذَا سِحْرٌ وَإِنَّا بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ
وقالوا لولا نزل هذا القرآن على رجل من القريتين عظيم
And they say: If only this Qur'an had been revealed to some great man of the two towns ?
And they say: Why was not this Quran revealed to a man of importance in the two towns?
وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانُ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِّنَ ٱلْقَرْيَتَيْنِ عَظِيمٍ
أهم يقسمون رحمت ربك ۚ نحن قسمنا بينهم معيشتهم في الحياة الدنيا ۚ ورفعنا بعضهم فوق بعض درجات ليتخذ بعضهم بعضا سخريا ۗ ورحمت ربك خير مما يجمعون
Is it they who apportion thy Lord's mercy ? We have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of the world, and raised some of them above others in rank that some of them may take labour from others; and the mercy of thy Lord is better than (the wealth) that they amass.
Will they distribute the mercy of your Lord? We distribute among them their livelihood in the life of this world, and We j have exalted some of them above others in degrees, that some of them may take others in subjection; and the mercy of your Lord is better than what they amass.
أَهُمْ يَقْسِمُونَ رَحْمَتَ رَبِّكَ نَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّعِيشَتَهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَٰتٍ لِّيَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُهُم بَعْضًا سُخْرِيًّا وَرَحْمَتُ رَبِّكَ
ولولا أن يكون الناس أمة واحدة لجعلنا لمن يكفر بالرحمن لبيوتهم سقفا من فضة ومعارج عليها يظهرون
And were it not that mankind would have become one community, We might well have appointed, for those who disbelieve in the Beneficent, roofs of silver for their houses and stairs (of silver) whereby to mount,
And were it not that all people had been a single nation, We would certainly have assigned to those who disbelieve in the Beneficent Allah (to make) of silver the roofs of their houses and the stairs by which they ascend.
وَلَوْلَآ أَن يَكُونَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً لَّجَعَلْنَا لِمَن يَكْفُرُ بِٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ لِبُيُوتِهِمْ سُقُفًا مِّن فِضَّةٍ وَمَعَارِجَ عَلَيْهَا يَظْهَرُونَ
ولبيوتهم أبوابا وسررا عليها يتكئون
And for their houses doors (of silver) and couches of silver whereon to recline,
And the doors of their houses and the couches on which they recline,
وَلِبُيُوتِهِمْ أَبْوَٰبًا وَسُرُرًا عَلَيْهَا يَتَّكِـُٔونَ
وزخرفا ۚ وإن كل ذلك لما متاع الحياة الدنيا ۚ والآخرة عند ربك للمتقين
And ornaments of gold. Yet all that would have been but a provision of the life of the world. And the Hereafter with your Lord would have been for those who keep from evil.
And (other) embellishments of gold; and all this is naught but provision of this world's life, and the hereafter is with your Lord only for those who guard (against evil).
وَزُخْرُفًا وَإِن كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَٰعُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
ومن يعش عن ذكر الرحمن نقيض له شيطانا فهو له قرين
And he whose sight is dim to the remembrance of the Beneficent, We assign unto him a devil who becometh his comrade;
And whoever turns himself away from the remembrance of the Beneficent Allah, We appoint for him a Shaitan, so he becomes his associate.
وَمَن يَعْشُ عَن ذِكْرِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ نُقَيِّضْ لَهُۥ شَيْطَٰنًا فَهُوَ لَهُۥ قَرِينٌ
وإنهم ليصدونهم عن السبيل ويحسبون أنهم مهتدون
And lo! they surely turn them from the way of Allah, and yet they deem that they are rightly guided;
And most surely they turn them away from the path, and they think that they are guided aright:
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيَصُدُّونَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ
حتى إذا جاءنا قال يا ليت بيني وبينك بعد المشرقين فبئس القرين
Till, when he cometh unto Us, he saith (unto his comrade): Ah, would that between me and thee there were the distance of the two horizons - an evil comrade!
Until when he comes to Us, he says: O would that between me and you there were the distance of the East and the West; so evil is the associate!
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَنَا قَالَ يَٰلَيْتَ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكَ بُعْدَ ٱلْمَشْرِقَيْنِ فَبِئْسَ ٱلْقَرِينُ
ولن ينفعكم اليوم إذ ظلمتم أنكم في العذاب مشتركون
And it profiteth you not this day, because ye did wrong, that ye will be sharers in the doom.
And since you were unjust, it will not profit you this day that you are sharers in the chastisement.
وَلَن يَنفَعَكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ إِذ ظَّلَمْتُمْ أَنَّكُمْ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ
أفأنت تسمع الصم أو تهدي العمي ومن كان في ضلال مبين
Canst thou (Muhammad) make the deaf to hear, or canst thou guide the blind or him who is in error manifest ?
What! can you then make the deaf to hear or guide the blind and him who is in clear error?
أَفَأَنتَ تُسْمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ أَوْ تَهْدِى ٱلْعُمْىَ وَمَن كَانَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ
فإما نذهبن بك فإنا منهم منتقمون
And if We take thee away, We surely shall take vengeance on them,
But if We should take you away, still We shall inflict retribution on them;
فَإِمَّا نَذْهَبَنَّ بِكَ فَإِنَّا مِنْهُم مُّنتَقِمُونَ
أو نرينك الذي وعدناهم فإنا عليهم مقتدرون
Or (if) We show thee that wherewith We threaten them; for lo! We have complete command of them.
Rather We will certainly show you that which We have promised them; for surely We are the possessors of full power over them.
أَوْ نُرِيَنَّكَ ٱلَّذِى وَعَدْنَٰهُمْ فَإِنَّا عَلَيْهِم مُّقْتَدِرُونَ
فاستمسك بالذي أوحي إليك ۖ إنك على صراط مستقيم
So hold thou fast to that which is inspired in thee. Lo! thou art on a right path.
Therefore hold fast to that which has been revealed to you; surely you are on the right path.
فَٱسْتَمْسِكْ بِٱلَّذِىٓ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
وإنه لذكر لك ولقومك ۖ وسوف تسألون
And lo! it is in truth a Reminder for thee and for thy folk; and ye will be questioned.
And most surely it is a reminder for you and your people, and you shall soon be questioned.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَذِكْرٌ لَّكَ وَلِقَوْمِكَ وَسَوْفَ تُسْـَٔلُونَ
واسأل من أرسلنا من قبلك من رسلنا أجعلنا من دون الرحمن آلهة يعبدون
And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before thee: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped beside the Beneficent ?
And ask those of Our apostles whom We sent before you: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Beneficent Allah?
وَسْـَٔلْ مَنْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رُّسُلِنَآ أَجَعَلْنَا مِن دُونِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ءَالِهَةً يُعْبَدُونَ
ولقد أرسلنا موسى بآياتنا إلى فرعون وملئه فقال إني رسول رب العالمين
And verily We sent Moses with Our revelations unto Pharaoh and his chiefs, and he said: I am a messenger of the Lord of the Worlds.
And certainly We sent Musa with Our communications to Firon and his chiefs, so he said: Surely I am the apostle of the Lord of the worlds.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ فَقَالَ إِنِّى رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
فلما جاءهم بآياتنا إذا هم منها يضحكون
But when he brought them Our tokens, behold! they laughed at them.
But when he came to them with Our signs, lo! they laughed at them.
فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَضْحَكُونَ
وما نريهم من آية إلا هي أكبر من أختها ۖ وأخذناهم بالعذاب لعلهم يرجعون
And every token that We showed them was greater than its sister (token), and We grasped them with the torment, that haply they might turn again.
And We did not show them a sign but it was greater than its like, and We overtook them with chastisement that they may turn.
وَمَا نُرِيهِم مِّنْ ءَايَةٍ إِلَّا هِىَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ أُخْتِهَا وَأَخَذْنَٰهُم بِٱلْعَذَابِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
وقالوا يا أيه الساحر ادع لنا ربك بما عهد عندك إننا لمهتدون
And they said: O wizard! Entreat thy Lord for us by the pact that He hath made with thee. Lo! we verily will walk aright.
And they said: O magician! call on your Lord for our sake, as He has made the covenant with you; we shall surely be the followers of the right way.
وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَيُّهَ ٱلسَّاحِرُ ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ إِنَّنَا لَمُهْتَدُونَ
فلما كشفنا عنهم العذاب إذا هم ينكثون
But when We eased them of the torment, behold! they broke their word.
But when We removed from them the chastisement, lo! they broke the pledge.
فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ إِذَا هُمْ يَنكُثُونَ
ونادى فرعون في قومه قال يا قوم أليس لي ملك مصر وهذه الأنهار تجري من تحتي ۖ أفلا تبصرون
And Pharaoh caused a proclamation to be made among his people saying: O my people! Is not mine the sovereignty of Egypt and these rivers flowing under me ? Can ye not then discern ?
And Firon proclaimed amongst his people: O my people! is not the kingdom of Egypt mine? And these rivers flow beneath me; do you not then see?
وَنَادَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى قَوْمِهِۦ قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ أَلَيْسَ لِى مُلْكُ مِصْرَ وَهَٰذِهِ ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِىٓ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ
أم أنا خير من هذا الذي هو مهين ولا يكاد يبين
I am surely better than this fellow, who is despicable and can hardly make (his meaning) plain!
Nay! I am better than this fellow, who is contemptible, and who can hardly speak distinctly:
أَمْ أَنَا۠ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى هُوَ مَهِينٌ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُبِينُ
فلولا ألقي عليه أسورة من ذهب أو جاء معه الملائكة مقترنين
Why, then, have armlets of gold not been set upon him, or angels sent along with him ?
But why have not bracelets of gold been put upon him, or why have there not come with him angels as companions?
فَلَوْلَآ أُلْقِىَ عَلَيْهِ أَسْوِرَةٌ مِّن ذَهَبٍ أَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ مُقْتَرِنِينَ
فاستخف قومه فأطاعوه ۚ إنهم كانوا قوما فاسقين
Thus he persuaded his people to make light (of Moses), and they obeyed him. Lo! they were a wanton folk.
So he incited his people to levity and they obeyed him: surely they were a transgressing people.
فَٱسْتَخَفَّ قَوْمَهُۥ فَأَطَاعُوهُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَٰسِقِينَ
فلما آسفونا انتقمنا منهم فأغرقناهم أجمعين
So, when they angered Us, We punished them and drowned them every one.
Then when they displeased Us, We inflicted a retribution on them, so We drowned them all together,
فَلَمَّآ ءَاسَفُونَا ٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَأَغْرَقْنَٰهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
فجعلناهم سلفا ومثلا للآخرين
And We made them a thing past, and an example for those after (them).
And We made them a precedent and example to the later generations.
فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمْ سَلَفًا وَمَثَلًا لِّلْءَاخِرِينَ
۞ ولما ضرب ابن مريم مثلا إذا قومك منه يصدون
And when the son of Mary is quoted as an example, behold! the folk laugh out,
And when a description of the son of Marium is given, lo! your people raise a clamor thereat.
وَلَمَّا ضُرِبَ ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ مَثَلًا إِذَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْهُ يَصِدُّونَ
وقالوا أآلهتنا خير أم هو ۚ ما ضربوه لك إلا جدلا ۚ بل هم قوم خصمون

وَقَالُوٓا۟ ءَأَٰلِهَتُنَا خَيْرٌ أَمْ هُوَ مَا ضَرَبُوهُ لَكَ إِلَّا جَدَلًۢا بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ خَصِمُونَ
إن هو إلا عبد أنعمنا عليه وجعلناه مثلا لبني إسرائيل

ولما جاء عيسى بالبينات قال قد جئتكم بالحكمة ولأبين لكم بعض الذي تختلفون فيه ۖ فاتقوا الله وأطيعون

But the factions among them differed. Then woe unto those who do wrong from the doom of a painful day.

هل ينظرون إلا الساعة أن تأتيهم بغتة وهم لا يشعرون
Await they aught save the Hour, that it shall come upon them suddenly, when they know not ?

ٱدْخُلُوا۟ ٱلْجَنَّةَ أَنتُمْ وَأَزْوَٰجُكُمْ تُحْبَرُونَ
يطاف عليهم بصحاف من ذهب وأكواب ۖ وفيها ما تشتهيه الأنفس وتلذ الأعين ۖ وأنتم فيها خالدون

لكم فيها فاكهة كثيرة منها تأكلون

أم أبرموا أمرا فإنا مبرمون
Or do they determine any thing (against the Prophet) ? Lo! We (also) are determining.

أَمْ أَبْرَمُوٓا۟ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّا مُبْرِمُونَ
أم يحسبون أنا لا نسمع سرهم ونجواهم ۚ بلى ورسلنا لديهم يكتبون
Or deem they that We cannot hear their secret thoughts and private confidences ? Nay, but Our envoys, present with them, do record.
Or do they think that We do not hear what they conceal and their secret discourses? Aye! and Our apostles with them write down.
أَمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّا لَا نَسْمَعُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَىٰهُم بَلَىٰ وَرُسُلُنَا لَدَيْهِمْ يَكْتُبُونَ
قل إن كان للرحمن ولد فأنا أول العابدين

فذرهم يخوضوا ويلعبوا حتى يلاقوا يومهم الذي يوعدون

وهو الذي في السماء إله وفي الأرض إله ۚ وهو الحكيم العليم
And He it is Who in the heaven is God, and in the earth God. He is the Wise, the Knower.
And He it is Who is Allah in the heavens and Allah in the earth; and He is the Wise, the Knowing.

ولا يملك الذين يدعون من دونه الشفاعة إلا من شهد بالحق وهم يعلمون
And those unto whom they cry instead of Him possess no power of intercession, saving him who beareth witness unto the Truth knowingly.
And those whom they call upon besides Him have no authority for intercession, but he who bears witness of the truth and they know (him).
وَلَا يَمْلِكُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةَ إِلَّا مَن شَهِدَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
ولئن سألتهم من خلقهم ليقولن الله ۖ فأنى يؤفكون
And if thou ask them who created them, they will surely say: Allah. How then are they turned away ?
And if you should ask them who created them, they would certainly say: Allah. Whence are they then turned back?
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُ فَأَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ
وقيله يا رب إن هؤلاء قوم لا يؤمنون

فاصفح عنهم وقل سلام ۚ فسوف يعلمون
Then bear with them (O Muhammad) and say: Peace. But they will come to know.

فَٱصْفَحْ عَنْهُمْ وَقُلْ سَلَٰمٌ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
