المؤمنون

1 Qad aflaha almuminoona

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Successful indeed are the believers

2 Allatheena hum fee salatihim khashiAAoona

2 Who are humble in their prayers,

3 Waallatheena hum AAani allaghwi muAAridoona

3 And who shun vain conversation,

4 Waallatheena hum lilzzakati faAAiloona

4 And who are payers of the poor - due;

5 Waallatheena hum lifuroojihim hafithoona

5 And who guard their modesty -

6 Illa AAala azwajihim aw ma malakat aymanuhum fainnahum ghayru maloomeena

6 Save from their wives or the (slaves) that their right hands possess, for then they are not blameworthy,

7 Famani ibtagha waraa thalika faolaika humu alAAadoona

7 But whoso craveth beyond that, such are transgressors -

8 Waallatheena hum liamanatihim waAAahdihim raAAoona

8 And who are shepherds of their pledge and their covenant,

9 Waallatheena hum AAala salawatihim yuhafithoona

9 And who pay heed to their prayers.

10 Olaika humu alwarithoona

10 These are the heirs

11 Allatheena yarithoona alfirdawsa hum feeha khalidoona

11 Who will inherit paradise. There they will abide.

12 Walaqad khalaqna alinsana min sulalatin min teenin

12 Verily We created man from a product of wet earth;

13 Thumma jaAAalnahu nutfatan fee qararin makeenin

13 Then placed him as a drop (of seed) in a safe lodging;

14 Thumma khalaqna alnnutfata AAalaqatan fakhalaqna alAAalaqata mudghatan fakhalaqna almudghata AAithaman fakasawna alAAithama lahman thumma anshanahu khalqan akhara fatabaraka Allahu ahsanu alkhaliqeena

14 Then fashioned We the drop a clot, then fashioned We the clot a little lump, then fashioned We the little lump bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators!

15 Thumma innakum baAAda thalika lamayyitoona

15 Then lo! after that ye surely die.

16 Thumma innakum yawma alqiyamati tubAAathoona

16 Then lo! on the Day of Resurrection ye are raised (again).

17 Walaqad khalaqna fawqakum sabAAa taraiqa wama kunna AAani alkhalqi ghafileena

17 And We have created above you seven paths, and We are never unmindful of creation.

18 Waanzalna mina alssamai maan biqadarin faaskannahu fee alardi wainna AAala thahabin bihi laqadiroona

18 And we send down from the sky water in measure, and We give it lodging in the earth, and lo! We are Able to withdraw it.

19 Faanshana lakum bihi jannatin min nakheelin waaAAnabin lakum feeha fawakihu katheeratun waminha takuloona

19 Then We produce for you therewith gardens of date - palms and grapes, wherein is much fruit for you and whereof ye eat;

20 Washajaratan takhruju min toori saynaa tanbutu bialdduhni wasibghin lilakileena

20 And a tree that springeth forth from Mount Sinai that groweth oil and relish for the eaters.

21 Wainna lakum fee alanAAami laAAibratan nusqeekum mimma fee butooniha walakum feeha manafiAAu katheeratun waminha takuloona

21 And lo! in the cattle there is verily a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, and many uses have ye in them, and of them do ye eat;

22 WaAAalayha waAAala alfulki tuhmaloona

22 And on them and on the ship ye are carried.

23 Walaqad arsalna noohan ila qawmihi faqala ya qawmi oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoona

23 And We verily sent Noah unto his folk, and he said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other God save Him. Will ye not ward off (evil) ?

24 Faqala almalao allatheena kafaroo min qawmihi ma hatha illa basharun mithlukum yureedu an yatafaddala AAalaykum walaw shaa Allahu laanzala malaikatan ma samiAAna bihatha fee abaina alawwaleena

24 But the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved, said: This is only a mortal like you who would make himself superior to you. Had Allah willed, He surely could have sent down angels. We heard not of this in the case of our fathers of old.

25 In huwa illa rajulun bihi jinnatun fatarabbasoo bihi hatta heenin

25 He is only a man in whom is a madness, so watch him for a while.

26 Qala rabbi onsurnee bima kaththabooni

26 He said: My Lord! Help me because they deny me.

27 Faawhayna ilayhi ani isnaAAi alfulka biaAAyunina wawahyina faitha jaa amruna wafara alttannooru faosluk feeha min kullin zawjayni ithnayni waahlaka illa man sabaqa AAalayhi alqawlu minhum wala tukhatibnee fee allatheena thalamoo innahum mughraqoona

27 Then We inspired in him, saying: Make the ship under Our eyes and Our inspiration. Then, when Our command cometh and the oven gusheth water, introduce therein of every (kind) two spouses, and thy household save him thereof against whom the Word hath already gone forth. And plead not with Me on behalf of those who have done wrong. Lo! they will be drowned.

28 Faitha istawayta anta waman maAAaka AAala alfulki faquli alhamdu lillahi allathee najjana mina alqawmi alththalimeena

28 And when thou art on board the ship, thou and whoso is with thee, then say: Praise be to Allah Who hath saved us from the wrongdoing folk!

29 Waqul rabbi anzilnee munzalan mubarakan waanta khayru almunzileena

29 And say: My Lord! Cause me to land at a blessed landing - place, for Thou art Best of all who bring to land.

30 Inna fee thalika laayatin wain kunna lamubtaleena

30 Lo! herein verily are portents, for lo! We are ever putting (mankind) to the test.

31 Thumma anshana min baAAdihim qarnan akhareena

31 Then, after them, We brought forth another generation;

32 Faarsalna feehim rasoolan minhum ani oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoona

32 And we sent among them a messenger of their own, saying: Serve Allah, Ye have no other God save Him. Will ye not ward off (evil) ?

33 Waqala almalao min qawmihi allatheena kafaroo wakaththaboo biliqai alakhirati waatrafnahum fee alhayati alddunya ma hatha illa basharun mithlukum yakulu mimma takuloona minhu wayashrabu mimma tashraboona

33 And the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter, and whom We had made soft in the life of the world, said: This is only a mortal like you, who eateth of that whereof ye eat and drinketh of that ye drink.

34 Walain ataAAtum basharan mithlakum innakum ithan lakhasiroona

34 If ye were to obey a mortal like yourselves, then, lo! ye surely would be losers.

35 AyaAAidukum annakum itha mittum wakuntum turaban waAAithaman annakum mukhrajoona

35 Doth he promise you that you, when ye are dead and have become dust and bones, will (again) be brought forth ?

36 Hayhata hayhata lima tooAAadoona

36 Begone, begone, with that which ye are promised!

37 In hiya illa hayatuna alddunya namootu wanahya wama nahnu bimabAAootheena

37 There is naught but our life of the world; we die and we live, and we shall not be raised (again).

38 In huwa illa rajulun iftara AAala Allahi kathiban wama nahnu lahu bimumineena

38 He is only a man who hath invented a lie about Allah. We are not going to put faith in him.

39 Qala rabbi onsurnee bima kaththabooni

39 He said: My Lord! Help me because they deny me.

40 Qala AAamma qaleelin layusbihunna nadimeena

40 He said: In a little while they surely will become repentant.

41 Faakhathathumu alssayhatu bialhaqqi fajaAAalnahum ghuthaan fabuAAdan lilqawmi alththalimeena

41 So the (Awful) Cry overtook them rightfully, and We made them like as wreckage (that a torrent hurleth). A far removal for wrongdoing folk!

42 Thumma anshana min baAAdihim quroonan akhareena

42 Then after them We brought forth other generations.

43 Ma tasbiqu min ommatin ajalaha wama yastakhiroona

43 No nation can outstrip its term, nor yet postpone it.

44 Thumma arsalna rusulana tatra kulla ma jaa ommatan rasooluha kaththaboohu faatbaAAna baAAdahum baAAdan wajaAAalnahum ahadeetha fabuAAdan liqawmin la yuminoona

44 Then We sent our messengers one after another. Whenever its messenger came unto a nation they denied him; so We caused them to follow one another (to disaster) and We made them bywords. A far removal for folk who believe not!

45 Thumma arsalna moosa waakhahu haroona biayatina wasultanin mubeenin

45 Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our tokens and a clear warrant

46 Ila firAAawna wamalaihi faistakbaroo wakanoo qawman AAaleena

46 Unto Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they scorned (them) and they were despotic folk.

47 Faqaloo anuminu libasharayni mithlina waqawmuhuma lana AAabidoona

47 And they said: Shall we put faith in two mortals like ourselves, and whose folk are servile unto us ?

48 Fakaththaboohuma fakanoo mina almuhlakeena

48 So they denied them, and became of those who were destroyed.

49 Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba laAAallahum yahtadoona

49 And We verily gave Moses the Scripture, that haply they might go aright.

50 WajaAAalna ibna maryama waommahu ayatan waawaynahuma ila rabwatin thati qararin wamaAAeenin

50 And We made the son of Mary and his mother a portent, and We gave them refuge on a height, a place of flocks and watersprings.

51 Ya ayyuha alrrusulu kuloo mina alttayyibati waiAAmaloo salihan innee bima taAAmaloona AAaleemun

51 O ye messengers! Eat of the good things, and do right. Lo! I am Aware of what ye do.

52 Wainna hathihi ommatukum ommatan wahidatan waana rabbukum faittaqooni

52 And lo! this your religion is one religion and I am your Lord, so keep your duty unto Me.

53 FataqattaAAoo amrahum baynahum zuburan kullu hizbin bima ladayhim farihoona

53 But they (mankind) have broken their religion among them into sects, each group rejoicing in its tenets.

54 Fatharhum fee ghamratihim hatta heenin

54 So leave them in their error till a time.

55 Ayahsaboona annama numidduhum bihi min malin wabaneena

55 Think they that in the wealth and sons wherewith We provide them

56 NusariAAu lahum fee alkhayrati bal la yashAAuroona

56 We hasten unto them with good things ? Nay, but they perceive not.

57 Inna allatheena hum min khashyati rabbihim mushfiqoona

57 Lo! those who go in awe for fear of their Lord.

58 Waallatheena hum biayati rabbihim yuminoona

58 And those who believe in the revelations of their Lord,

59 Waallatheena hum birabbihim la yushrikoona

59 And those who ascribe not partners unto their Lord,

60 Waallatheena yutoona ma ataw waquloobuhum wajilatun annahum ila rabbihim rajiAAoona

60 And those who give that which they give with hearts afraid because they are about to return unto their Lord,

61 Olaika yusariAAoona fee alkhayrati wahum laha sabiqoona

61 These race for the good things, and they shall win them in the race.

62 Wala nukallifu nafsan illa wusAAaha waladayna kitabun yantiqu bialhaqqi wahum la yuthlamoona

62 And we task not any soul beyond its scope, and with Us is a Record which speaketh the truth, and they will not be wronged.

63 Bal quloobuhum fee ghamratin min hatha walahum aAAmalun min dooni thalika hum laha AAamiloona

63 Nay, but their hearts are in ignorance of this (Qur'an), and they have other works, besides, which they are doing;

64 Hatta itha akhathna mutrafeehim bialAAathabi itha hum yajaroona

64 Till when We grasp their luxurious ones with the punishment, behold! they supplicate.

65 La tajaroo alyawma innakum minna la tunsaroona

65 Supplicate not this day! Assuredly ye will not be helped by Us.

66 Qad kanat ayatee tutla AAalaykum fakuntum AAala aAAqabikum tankisoona

66 My revelations were recited unto you, but ye used to turn back on your heels,

67 Mustakbireena bihi samiran tahjuroona

67 In scorn thereof. Nightly did ye rave together.

68 Afalam yaddabbaroo alqawla am jaahum ma lam yati abaahumu alawwaleena

68 Have they not pondered the Word, or hath that come unto them which came not unto their fathers of old ?

69 Am lam yaAArifoo rasoolahum fahum lahu munkiroona

69 Or know they not their messenger, and so reject him ?

70 Am yaqooloona bihi jinnatun bal jaahum bialhaqqi waaktharuhum lilhaqqi karihoona

70 Or say they: There is a madness in him ? Nay, but he bringeth them the Truth; and most of them are haters of the Truth.

71 Walawi ittabaAAa alhaqqu ahwaahum lafasadati alssamawatu waalardu waman feehinna bal ataynahum bithikrihim fahum AAan thikrihim muAAridoona

71 And if the Truth had followed their desires, verily the heavens and the earth and whosoever is therein had been corrupted. Nay, We have brought them their Reminder, but from their Reminder they now turn away.

72 Am tasaluhum kharjan fakharaju rabbika khayrun wahuwa khayru alrraziqeena

72 Or dost thou ask of them (O Muhammad) any tribute ? But the bounty of thy Lord is better, for He is Best of all who make provision.

73 Wainnaka latadAAoohum ila siratin mustaqeemin

73 And lo! thou summonest them indeed unto a straight path.

74 Wainna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati AAani alssirati lanakiboona

74 And lo! those who believe not in the Hereafter are indeed astray from the path.

75 Walaw rahimnahum wakashafna ma bihim min durrin lalajjoo fee tughyanihim yaAAmahoona

75 Though We had mercy on them and relieved them of the harm afflicting them, they still would wander blindly on in their contumacy.

76 Walaqad akhathnahum bialAAathabi fama istakanoo lirabbihim wama yatadarraAAoona

76 Already have We grasped them with punishment, but they humble not themselves unto their Lord, nor do they pray,

77 Hatta itha fatahna AAalayhim baban tha AAathabin shadeedin itha hum feehi mublisoona

77 Until, when We open for them the gate of extreme punishment, behold! they are aghast thereat.

78 Wahuwa allathee anshaa lakumu alssamAAa waalabsara waalafidata qaleelan ma tashkuroona

78 He it is Who hath created for you ears and eyes and hearts. Small thanks give ye!

79 Wahuwa allathee tharaakum fee alardi wailayhi tuhsharoona

79 And He it is Who hath sown you broadcast in the earth, and unto Him ye will be gathered.

80 Wahuwa allathee yuhyee wayumeetu walahu ikhtilafu allayli waalnnahari afala taAAqiloona

80 And He it is Who giveth life and causeth death, and His is the difference of night and day. Have ye then no sense ?

81 Bal qaloo mithla ma qala alawwaloona

81 Nay, but they say the like of that which said the men of old;

82 Qaloo aitha mitna wakunna turaban waAAithaman ainna lamabAAoothoona

82 They say: When we are dead and have become (mere) dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised again ?

83 Laqad wuAAidna nahnu waabaona hatha min qablu in hatha illa asateeru alawwaleena

83 We were already promised this, we and our forefathers. Lo! this is naught but fables of the men of old.

84 Qul limani alardu waman feeha in kuntum taAAlamoona

84 Say: Unto Whom (belongeth) the earth and whosoever is therein, if ye have knowledge ?

85 Sayaqooloona lillahi qul afala tathakkaroona

86 Qul man rabbu alssamawati alssabAAi warabbu alAAarshi alAAatheemi

86 Say: Who is Lord of the seven heavens, and Lord of the Tremendous Throne ?

87 Sayaqooloona lillahi qul afala tattaqoona

87 They will say: Unto Allah (all that belongeth). Say: Will ye not then keep duty (unto Him) ?

88 Qul man biyadihi malakootu kulli shayin wahuwa yujeeru wala yujaru AAalayhi in kuntum taAAlamoona

88 Say: In Whose hand is the dominion over all things and He protecteth, while against Him there is no protection, if ye have knowledge ?

89 Sayaqooloona lillahi qul faanna tusharoona

89 They will say: Unto Allah (all that belongeth). Say: How then are ye bewitched ?

90 Bal ataynahum bialhaqqi wainnahum lakathiboona

90 Nay, but We have brought them the Truth, and lo! they are liars.

91 Ma ittakhatha Allahu min waladin wama kana maAAahu min ilahin ithan lathahaba kullu ilahin bima khalaqa walaAAala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin subhana Allahi AAamma yasifoona

91 Allah hath not chosen any son, nor is there any god along with Him; else would each god have assuredly championed that which he created, and some of them would assuredly have overcome others. Glorified be Allah above all that they allege.

92 AAalimi alghaybi waalshshahadati fataAAala AAamma yushrikoona

92 Knower of the Invisible and the Visible! and Exalted be He over all that they ascribe as partners (unto Him)!

93 Qul rabbi imma turiyannee ma yooAAadoona

93 Say: My Lord! If Thou shouldst show me that which they are promised.

94 Rabbi fala tajAAalnee fee alqawmi alththalimeena

95 Wainna AAala an nuriyaka ma naAAiduhum laqadiroona

95 And verily We are Able to show thee that which We have promised them.

96 IdfaAA biallatee hiya ahsanu alssayyiata nahnu aAAlamu bima yasifoona

96 Repel evil with that which is better. We are Best Aware of that which they allege.

97 Waqul rabbi aAAoothu bika min hamazati alshshayateeni

97 And say: My Lord! I seek refuge in Thee from suggestions of the evil ones,

98 WaaAAoothu bika rabbi an yahdurooni

98 And I seek refuge in Thee, my Lord, lest they be present with me,

99 Hatta itha jaa ahadahumu almawtu qala rabbi irjiAAooni

99 Until, when death cometh unto one of them, he saith: My Lord! Send me back,

100 LaAAallee aAAmalu salihan feema taraktu kalla innaha kalimatun huwa qailuha wamin waraihim barzakhun ila yawmi yubAAathoona

100 That I may do right in that which I have left behind! But nay! It is but a word that he speaketh; and behind them is a barrier until the day when they are raised.

101 Faitha nufikha fee alssoori fala ansaba baynahum yawmaithin wala yatasaaloona

101 And when the trumpet is blown there will be no kinship among them that day, nor will they ask of one another.

102 Faman thaqulat mawazeenuhu faolaika humu almuflihoona

102 Then those whose scales are heavy, they are the successful.

103 Waman khaffat mawazeenuhu faolaika allatheena khasiroo anfusahum fee jahannama khalidoona

104 Talfahu wujoohahumu alnnaru wahum feeha kalihoona

105 Alam takun ayatee tutla AAalaykum fakuntum biha tukaththiboona

105 (It will be said): Were not My revelations recited unto you, and then ye used to deny them ?

106 Qaloo rabbana ghalabat AAalayna shiqwatuna wakunna qawman dalleena

106 They will say: Our Lord! Our evil fortune conquered us, and we were erring folk.

107 Rabbana akhrijna minha fain AAudna fainna thalimoona

107 Our Lord! Oh, bring us forth from hence! If we return (to evil) then indeed we shall be wrong - doers.

108 Qala ikhsaoo feeha wala tukallimooni

108 He saith: Begone therein, and speak not unto Me.

109 Innahu kana fareequn min AAibadee yaqooloona rabbana amanna faighfir lana wairhamna waanta khayru alrrahimeena

109 Lo! there was a party of My slaves who said: Our Lord! We believe, therefor forgive us and have mercy on us for Thou art Best of all who show mercy;

110 Faittakhathtumoohum sikhriyyan hatta ansawkum thikree wakuntum minhum tadhakoona

110 But ye chose them for a laughing - stock until they caused you to forget remembrance of Me, while ye laughed at them.

111 Innee jazaytuhumu alyawma bima sabaroo annahum humu alfaizoona

114 He will say: Ye tarried but a little if ye only knew.

115 Afahasibtum annama khalaqnakum AAabathan waannakum ilayna la turjaAAoona

115 Deemed ye then that We had created you for naught, and that ye would not be returned unto Us ?

116 FataAAala Allahu almaliku alhaqqu la ilaha illa huwa rabbu alAAarshi alkareemi

116 Now Allah be Exalted, the True King! There is no God save Him, the Lord of the Throne of Grace.

117 Waman yadAAu maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara la burhana lahu bihi fainnama hisabuhu AAinda rabbihi innahu la yuflihu alkafiroona

117 He who crieth unto any other god along with Allah hath no proof thereof. His reckoning is only with his Lord. Lo! disbelievers will not be successful.

118 Waqul rabbi ighfir wairham waanta khayru alrrahimeena

118 And (O Muhammad) say: My Lord! Forgive and have mercy, for Thou art Best of all who show mercy.
