الأنبياء

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Their reckoning draweth nigh for mankind, while they turn away in heedlessness.

1 Iqtaraba lilnnasi hisabuhum wahum fee ghaflatin muAAridoona

2 Never cometh there unto them a new reminder from their Lord but they listen to it while they play,

2 Ma yateehim min thikrin min rabbihim muhdathin illa istamaAAoohu wahum yalAAaboona

3 With hearts preoccupied. And they confer in secret. The wrong - doers say: Is this other than a mortal like you ? Will ye then succumb to magic when ye see (it) ?

3 Lahiyatan quloobuhum waasarroo alnnajwa allatheena thalamoo hal hatha illa basharun mithlukum afatatoona alssihra waantum tubsiroona

4 He saith: My Lord knoweth what is spoken in the heaven and the earth. He is the Hearer, the Knower.

4 Qala rabbee yaAAlamu alqawla fee alssamai waalardi wahuwa alssameeAAu alAAaleemu

5 Nay, say they, (these are but) muddled dreams; nay, he hath but invented it; nay, he is but a poet. Let him bring us a portent even as those of old (who were God's messengers) were sent (with portents).

5 Bal qaloo adghathu ahlamin bali iftarahu bal huwa shaAAirun falyatina biayatin kama orsila alawwaloona

6 Not a township believed of those which We destroyed before them (though We sent them portents): would they then believe ?

6 Ma amanat qablahum min qaryatin ahlaknaha afahum yuminoona

7 And We sent not (as Our messengers) before thee other than men, whom We inspired. Ask the followers of the Reminder if ye know not ?

7 Wama arsalna qablaka illa rijalan noohee ilayhim faisaloo ahla alththikri in kuntum la taAAlamoona

8 We gave them not bodies that would not eat food, nor were they immortals.

8 Wama jaAAalnahum jasadan la yakuloona alttaAAama wama kanoo khalideena

9 Then we fulfilled the promise unto them. So we delivered them and whom We would, and We destroyed the prodigals.

9 Thumma sadaqnahumu alwaAAda faanjaynahum waman nashao waahlakna almusrifeena

10 Now We have revealed unto you a Scripture wherein is your Reminder. Have ye then no sense ?

10 Laqad anzalna ilaykum kitaban feehi thikrukum afala taAAqiloona

11 How many a community that dealt unjustly have We shattered, and raised up after them another folk!

11 Wakam qasamna min qaryatin kanat thalimatan waanshana baAAdaha qawman akhareena

12 And, when they felt Our might, behold them fleeing from it!

12 Falamma ahassoo basana itha hum minha yarkudoona

13 (But it was said unto them): Flee not, but return to that (existence) which emasculated you and to your dwellings, that ye may be questioned.

13 La tarkudoo wairjiAAoo ila ma otriftum feehi wamasakinikum laAAallakum tusaloona

14 They cried: Alas for us! we were wrong - doers.

14 Qaloo ya waylana inna kunna thalimeena

15 And this their crying ceased not till We made them as reaped corn, extinct.

15 Fama zalat tilka daAAwahum hatta jaAAalnahum haseedan khamideena

16 We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them in play.

16 Wama khalaqna alssamaa waalarda wama baynahuma laAAibeena

17 If We had wished to find a pastime, We could have found it in Our presence - if We ever did.

17 Law aradna an nattakhitha lahwan laittakhathnahu min ladunna in kunna faAAileena

18 Nay, but We hurl the true against the false, and it doth break its head and lo! it vanisheth. And yours will be woe for that which ye ascribe (unto Him).

18 Bal naqthifu bialhaqqi AAala albatili fayadmaghuhu faitha huwa zahiqun walakumu alwaylu mimma tasifoona

19 Unto Him belongeth whosoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those who dwell in His presence are not too proud to worship Him, nor do they weary;

19 Walahu man fee alssamawati waalardi waman AAindahu la yastakbiroona AAan AAibadatihi wala yastahsiroona

20 They glorify (Him) night and day; they flag not.

20 Yusabbihoona allayla waalnnahara la yafturoona

21 Or have they chosen gods from the earth who raise the dead ?

21 Ami ittakhathoo alihatan mina alardi hum yunshiroona

22 If there were therein gods beside Allah, then verily both (the heavens and the earth) had been disordered. Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, from all that they ascribe (unto Him).

22 Law kana feehima alihatun illa Allahu lafasadata fasubhana Allahi rabbi alAAarshi AAamma yasifoona

23 He will not be questioned as to that which He doeth, but they will be questioned.

23 La yusalu AAamma yafAAalu wahum yusaloona

24 Or have they chosen other gods beside Him ? say: Bring your proof (of their godhead). This is the Reminder of those with me and those before me, but most of them know not the Truth and so they are averse.

24 Ami ittakhathoo min doonihi alihatan qul hatoo burhanakum hatha thikru man maAAiya wathikru man qablee bal aktharuhum la yaAAlamoona alhaqqa fahum muAAridoona

25 And We sent no messenger before thee but We inspired him, (saying): There is no God save Me (Allah), so worship Me.

25 Wama arsalna min qablika min rasoolin illa noohee ilayhi annahu la ilaha illa ana faoAAbudooni

26 And they say: The Beneficent hath taken unto Himself a son. Be He Glorified! Nay, but (those whom they call sons) are honoured slaves;

26 Waqaloo ittakhatha alrrahmanu waladan subhanahu bal AAibadun mukramoona

27 They speak not until He hath spoken, and they act by His command.

27 La yasbiqoonahu bialqawli wahum biamrihi yaAAmaloona

28 He knoweth what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot intercede except for him whom He accepteth, and they quake for awe of Him.

28 YaAAlamu ma bayna aydeehim wama khalfahum wala yashfaAAoona illa limani irtada wahum min khashyatihi mushfiqoona

29 And one of them who should say: Lo! I am a god beside Him, that one We should repay with hell. Thus We Repay wrong - doers.

29 Waman yaqul minhum innee ilahun min doonihi fathalika najzeehi jahannama kathalika najzee alththalimeena

30 Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them, and we made every living thing of water ? Will they not then believe ?

30 Awalam yara allatheena kafaroo anna alssamawati waalarda kanata ratqan fafataqnahuma wajaAAalna mina almai kulla shayin hayyin afala yuminoona

31 And We have placed in the earth firm hills lest it quake with them, and We have placed therein ravines as roads that haply they may find their way.

31 WajaAAalna fee alardi rawasiya an tameeda bihim wajaAAalna feeha fijajan subulan laAAallahum yahtadoona

32 And we have made the sky a roof withheld (from them). Yet they turn away from its portents.

32 WajaAAalna alssamaa saqfan mahfoothan wahum AAan ayatiha muAAridoona

33 And He it is Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. They float, each in an orbit.

33 Wahuwa allathee khalaqa allayla waalnnahara waalshshamsa waalqamara kullun fee falakin yasbahoona

34 We appointed immortality for no mortal before thee. What! if thou diest, can they be immortal!

34 Wama jaAAalna libasharin min qablika alkhulda afain mitta fahumu alkhalidoona

35 Every soul must taste of death, and We try you with evil and with good, for ordeal. And unto Us ye will be returned.

35 Kullu nafsin thaiqatu almawti wanablookum bialshsharri waalkhayri fitnatan wailayna turjaAAoona

36 And when those who disbelieve behold thee, they but choose thee out for mockery, (saying): Is this he who maketh mention of your gods ? And they would deny all mention of the Beneficent.

36 Waitha raaka allatheena kafaroo in yattakhithoonaka illa huzuwan ahatha allathee yathkuru alihatakum wahum bithikri alrrahmani hum kafiroona

37 Man is made of haste. I shall show you My portents, but ask Me not to hasten.

37 Khuliqa alinsanu min AAajalin saoreekum ayatee fala tastaAAjiloona

38 And they say: When will this promise (be fulfilled), if ye are truthful ?

38 Wayaqooloona mata hatha alwaAAdu in kuntum sadiqeena

39 If those who disbelieved but knew the time when they will not be able to drive off the fire from their faces and from their backs, and they will not be helped!

39 Law yaAAlamu allatheena kafaroo heena la yakuffoona AAan wujoohihimu alnnara wala AAan thuhoorihim wala hum yunsaroona

40 Nay, but it will come upon them unawares so that it will stupefy them, and they will be unable to repel it, neither will they be reprieved.

40 Bal tateehim baghtatan fatabhatuhum fala yastateeAAoona raddaha wala hum yuntharoona

41 Messengers before thee, indeed, were mocked, but that whereat they mocked surrounded those who scoffed at them.

41 Walaqadi istuhzia birusulin min qablika fahaqa biallatheena sakhiroo minhum ma kanoo bihi yastahzioona

42 Say: Who guardeth you in the night or in the day from the Beneficent ? Nay, but they turn away from mention of their Lord!

42 Qul man yaklaokum biallayli waalnnahari mina alrrahmani bal hum AAan thikri rabbihim muAAridoona

43 Or have they gods who can shield them from Us ? They cannot help themselves nor can they be defended from Us.

43 Am lahum alihatun tamnaAAuhum min doonina la yastateeAAoona nasra anfusihim wala hum minna yushaboona

44 Nay, but We gave these and their fathers ease until life grew long for them. See they not how we aim to the land, reducing it of its outlying parts ? Can they then be the victors ?

44 Bal mattaAAna haolai waabaahum hatta tala AAalayhimu alAAumuru afala yarawna anna natee alarda nanqusuha min atrafiha afahumu alghaliboona

45 Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): I warn you only by the Inspiration. But the deaf hear not the call when they are warned.

45 Qul innama onthirukum bialwahyi wala yasmaAAu alssummu aldduAAaa itha ma yuntharoona

46 And if a breath of thy Lord's punishment were to touch them, they assuredly would say: Alas for us! Lo! we were wrong - doers.

46 Walain massathum nafhatun min AAathabi rabbika layaqoolunna ya waylana inna kunna thalimeena

47 And We set a just balance for the Day of Resurrection so that no soul is wronged in aught. Though it be of the weight of a grain of mustard seed, We bring it. And We suffice for reckoners.

47 WanadaAAu almawazeena alqista liyawmi alqiyamati fala tuthlamu nafsun shayan wain kana mithqala habbatin min khardalin atayna biha wakafa bina hasibeena

48 And We verily gave Moses and Aaron the Criterion (of right and wrong) and a light and a Reminder for those who keep from evil,

48 Walaqad atayna moosa waharoona alfurqana wadiyaan wathikran lilmuttaqeena

49 Those who fear their Lord in secret and who dread the Hour (of doom).

49 Allatheena yakhshawna rabbahum bialghaybi wahum mina alssaAAati mushfiqoona

50 This is a blessed Reminder that we have revealed: Will ye then reject it ?

50 Wahatha thikrun mubarakun anzalnahu afaantum lahu munkiroona

51 And We verily gave Abraham of old his proper course, and We were Aware of him,

51 Walaqad atayna ibraheema rushdahu min qablu wakunna bihi AAalimeena

52 When he said unto his father and his folk: What are these images unto which ye pay devotion ?

52 Ith qala liabeehi waqawmihi ma hathihi alttamatheelu allatee antum laha AAakifoona

53 They said: We found our fathers worshippers of them.

53 Qaloo wajadna abaana laha AAabideena

54 He said: Verily ye and your fathers were in plain error.

54 Qala laqad kuntum antum waabaokum fee dalalin mubeenin

55 They said: Bringest thou unto us the truth, or art thou some jester ?

55 Qaloo ajitana bialhaqqi am anta mina allaAAibeena

56 He said: Nay, but your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who created them; and I am of those who testify unto that.

56 Qala bal rabbukum rabbu alssamawati waalardi allathee fatarahunna waana AAala thalikum mina alshshahideena

57 And, by Allah, I shall circumvent your idols after ye have gone away and turned your backs.

57 WataAllahi laakeedanna asnamakum baAAda an tuwalloo mudbireena

58 Then he reduced them to fragments, all save the chief of them, that haply they might have recourse to it.

58 FajaAAalahum juthathan illa kabeeran lahum laAAallahum ilayhi yarjiAAoona

59 They said: Who hath done this to our gods ? Surely it must be some evil - doer.

59 Qaloo man faAAala hatha bialihatina innahu lamina alththalimeena

60 They said: We heard a youth make mention of them, who is called Abraham.

60 Qaloo samiAAna fatan yathkuruhum yuqalu lahu ibraheemu

61 They said: Then bring him (hither) before the people's eyes that they may testify.

61 Qaloo fatoo bihi AAala aAAyuni alnnasi laAAallahum yashhadoona

62 They said: Is it thou who hast done this to our gods, O Abraham ?

62 Qaloo aanta faAAalta hatha bialihatina ya ibraheemu

63 He said: But this, their chief hath done it. So question them, if they can speak.

63 Qala bal faAAalahu kabeeruhum hatha faisaloohum in kanoo yantiqoona

64 Then gathered they apart and said: Lo! ye yourselves are the wrong - doers.

64 FarajaAAoo ila anfusihim faqaloo innakum antumu alththalimoona

65 And they were utterly confounded, and they said: Well thou knowest that these speak not.

65 Thumma nukisoo AAala ruoosihim laqad AAalimta ma haolai yantiqoona

66 He said: Worship ye then instead of Allah that which cannot profit you at all, nor harm you ?

66 Qala afataAAbudoona min dooni Allahi ma la yanfaAAukum shayan wala yadurrukum

67 Fie on you and all that ye worship instead of Allah! Have ye then no sense ?

67 Offin lakum walima taAAbudoona min dooni Allahi afala taAAqiloona

68 They cried: Burn him and stand by your gods, if ye will be doing.

68 Qaloo harriqoohu waonsuroo alihatakum in kuntum faAAileena

69 We said: O fire, be coolness and peace for Abraham,

69 Qulna ya naru koonee bardan wasalaman AAala ibraheema

70 And they wished to set a snare for him, but We made them the greater losers.

70 Waaradoo bihi kaydan fajaAAalnahumu alakhsareena

71 And We rescued him and Lot (and brought them) to the land which We have blessed for (all) peoples.

71 Wanajjaynahu walootan ila alardi allatee barakna feeha lilAAalameena

72 And We bestowed upon him Isaac, and Jacob as a grandson. Each of them We made righteous.

72 Wawahabna lahu ishaqa wayaAAqooba nafilatan wakullan jaAAalna saliheena

73 And We made them chiefs who guide by Our command, and We inspired in them the doing of good deeds and the right establishment of worship and the giving of alms, and they were worshippers of Us (alone).

73 WajaAAalnahum aimmatan yahdoona biamrina waawhayna ilayhim fiAAla alkhayrati waiqama alssalati waeetaa alzzakati wakanoo lana AAabideena

74 And unto Lot we gave judgment and knowledge, and We delivered him from the community that did abominations. Lo! they were folk of evil, lewd.

74 Walootan ataynahu hukman waAAilman wanajjaynahu mina alqaryati allatee kanat taAAmalu alkhabaitha innahum kanoo qawma sawin fasiqeena

75 And We brought him in unto Our mercy. Lo! he was of the righteous.

75 Waadkhalnahu fee rahmatina innahu mina alssaliheena

76 And Noah, when he cried of old, We heard his prayer and saved him and his household from the great affliction.

76 Wanoohan ith nada min qablu faistajabna lahu fanajjaynahu waahlahu mina alkarbi alAAatheemi

77 And delivered him from the people who denied Our revelations. Lo! they were folk of evil, therefor did We drown them all.

77 Wanasarnahu mina alqawmi allatheena kaththaboo biayatina innahum kanoo qawma sawin faaghraqnahum ajmaAAeena

78 And David and Solomon, when they gave judgment concerning the field, when people's sheep had strayed and browsed therein by night; and We were witnesses to their judgment.

78 Wadawooda wasulaymana ith yahkumani fee alharthi ith nafashat feehi ghanamu alqawmi wakunna lihukmihim shahideena

79 And We made Solomon to understand (the case); and unto each of them We gave judgment and knowledge. And we subdued the hills and the birds to hymn (His) praise along with David. We were the doers (thereof).

79 Fafahhamnaha sulaymana wakullan atayna hukman waAAilman wasakhkharna maAAa dawooda aljibala yusabbihna waalttayra wakunna faAAileena

80 And We taught him the art of making garments (of mail) to protect you in your daring. Are ye then thankful ?

80 WaAAallamnahu sanAAata laboosin lakum lituhsinakum min basikum fahal antum shakiroona

81 And unto Solomon (We subdued) the wind in its raging. It set by his command toward the land which We had blessed. And of everything We are Aware.

81 Walisulaymana alrreeha AAasifatan tajree biamrihi ila alardi allatee barakna feeha wakunna bikulli shayin AAalimeena

82 And of the evil ones (subdued We unto him) some who dived (for pearls) for him and did other work, and We were warders unto them.

82 Wamina alshshayateeni man yaghoosoona lahu wayaAAmaloona AAamalan doona thalika wakunna lahum hafitheena

83 And Job, when he cried unto his Lord, (saying): Lo! adversity afflicteth me, and Thou art Most Merciful of all who show mercy.

83 Waayyooba ith nada rabbahu annee massaniya alddurru waanta arhamu alrrahimeena

84 Then We heard his prayer and removed that adversity from which he suffered, and We gave him his household (that he had lost) and the like thereof along with them, a mercy from Our store, and a remembrance for the worshippers;

84 Faistajabna lahu fakashafna ma bihi min durrin waataynahu ahlahu wamithlahum maAAahum rahmatan min AAindina wathikra lilAAabideena

85 And (mention) Ishmael, and Idris, and Dhu'l - Kifl. All were of the steadfast.

85 WaismaAAeela waidreesa watha alkifli kullun mina alssabireena

86 And We brought them in unto Our mercy. Lo! they are among the righteous.

86 Waadkhalnahum fee rahmatina innahum mina alssaliheena

87 And (mention) Dhu'n - Nun, when he went off in anger and deemed that We had no power over him, but he cried out in the darkness, saying: There is no God save Thee. Be Thou Glorified! Lo! I have been a wrong - doer.

87 Watha alnnooni ith thahaba mughadiban fathanna an lan naqdira AAalayhi fanada fee alththulumati an la ilaha illa anta subhanaka innee kuntu mina alththalimeena

88 Then we heard his prayer and saved him from the anguish. Thus we save believers.

88 Faistajabna lahu wanajjaynahu mina alghammi wakathalika nunjee almumineena

89 And Zachariah, when he cried unto his Lord: My Lord! Leave me not childless, though Thou art the Best of inheritors.

89 Wazakariyya ith nada rabbahu rabbi la tatharnee fardan waanta khayru alwaritheena

90 Then We heard his prayer, and bestowed upon him John, and adjusted his wife (to bear a child) for him. Lo! they used to vie one with the other in good deeds, and they cried unto Us in longing and in fear, and were submissive unto Us.

90 Faistajabna lahu wawahabna lahu yahya waaslahna lahu zawjahu innahum kanoo yusariAAoona fee alkhayrati wayadAAoonana raghaban warahaban wakanoo lana khashiAAeena

91 And she who was chaste, therefor We breathed into her (something) of Our Spirit and made her and her son a token for (all) peoples.

91 Waallatee ahsanat farjaha fanafakhna feeha min roohina wajaAAalnaha waibnaha ayatan lilAAalameena

92 Lo! this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so worship Me.

92 Inna hathihi ommatukum ommatan wahidatan waana rabbukum faoAAbudooni

93 And they have broken their religion (into fragments) among them, (yet) all are returning unto Us.

93 WataqattaAAoo amrahum baynahum kullun ilayna rajiAAoona

94 Then whoso doeth some good works and is a believer, there will be no rejection of his effort. Lo! We record (it) for him.

94 Faman yaAAmal mina alssalihati wahuwa muminun fala kufrana lisaAAyihi wainna lahu katiboona

95 And there is a ban upon any community which We have destroyed: that they shall not return.

95 Waharamun AAala qaryatin ahlaknaha annahum la yarjiAAoona

96 Until, when Gog and Magog are let loose, and they hasten out of every mound,

96 Hatta itha futihat yajooju wamajooju wahum min kulli hadabin yansiloona

97 And the True Promise draweth nigh; then behold them, staring wide (in terror), the eyes of those who disbelieve! (They say): Alas for us! We (lived) in forgetfulness of this. Ah, but we were wrong - doers!

97 Waiqtaraba alwaAAdu alhaqqu faitha hiya shakhisatun absaru allatheena kafaroo ya waylana qad kunna fee ghaflatin min hatha bal kunna thalimeena

98 Lo! ye (idolaters) and that which ye worship beside Allah are fuel of hell. Thereunto ye will come.

98 Innakum wama taAAbudoona min dooni Allahi hasabu jahannama antum laha waridoona

99 If these had been gods they would not have come thither, but all will abide therein.

99 Law kana haolai alihatan ma waradooha wakullun feeha khalidoona

100 Therein wailing is their portion, and therein they hear not.

100 Lahum feeha zafeerun wahum feeha la yasmaAAoona

101 Lo! those unto whom kindness hath gone forth before from Us, they will be far removed from thence.

101 Inna allatheena sabaqat lahum minna alhusna olaika AAanha mubAAadoona

102 They will not hear the slightest sound thereof, while they abide in that which their souls desire.

102 La yasmaAAoona haseesaha wahum fee ma ishtahat anfusuhum khalidoona

103 The Supreme Horror will not grieve them, and the angels will welcome them, (saying): This is your Day which ye were promised;

103 La yahzunuhumu alfazaAAu alakbaru watatalaqqahumu almalaikatu hatha yawmukumu allathee kuntum tooAAadoona

104 The Day when We shall roll up the heavens as a recorder rolleth up a written scroll. As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. (It is) a promise (binding) upon Us. Lo! We are to perform it.

104 Yawma natwee alssamaa katayyi alssijlli lilkutubi kama badana awwala khalqin nuAAeeduhu waAAdan AAalayna inna kunna faAAileena

105 And verily we have written in the Scripture, after the Reminder: My righteous slaves will inherit the earth:

105 Walaqad katabna fee alzzaboori min baAAdi alththikri anna alarda yarithuha AAibadiya alssalihoona

106 Lo! there is a plain statement for folk who are devout.

106 Inna fee hatha labalaghan liqawmin AAabideena

107 We sent thee not save as a mercy for the peoples.

107 Wama arsalnaka illa rahmatan lilAAalameena

108 Say: It is only inspired in me that your God is One God. Will ye then surrender (unto Him) ?

108 Qul innama yooha ilayya annama ilahukum ilahun wahidun fahal antum muslimoona

109 But if they are averse, then say: I have warned you all alike, although I know not whether nigh or far is that which ye are promised.

109 Fain tawallaw faqul athantukum AAala sawain wain adree aqareebun am baAAeedun ma tooAAadoona

110 Lo! He knoweth that which is said openly, and that which ye conceal.

110 Innahu yaAAlamu aljahra mina alqawli wayaAAlamu ma taktumoona

111 And I know not but that this may be a trial for you, and enjoyment for a while.

111 Wain adree laAAallahu fitnatun lakum wamataAAun ila heenin

112 He saith: My Lord! Judge Thou with truth. Our Lord is the Beneficent, Whose help is to be implored against that which ye ascribe (unto Him).

112 Qala rabbi ohkum bialhaqqi warabbuna alrrahmanu almustaAAanu AAala ma tasifoona
