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 But those whose desires exceed those limits are transgressors; -

12 Man We did create from a quintessence (of clay);

12 Walaqad khalaqna alinsana min sulalatin min teenin

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

13 Then We placed him as (a drop of) sperm in a place of rest, firmly fixed;

13 Thumma jaAAalnahu nutfatan fee qararin makeenin

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

14 Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot We made a (foetus) lump; then we made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then we developed out of it another creature. So blessed be Allah, the best to create!

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 After that, at length ye will die

15 Thumma innakum baAAda thalika lamayyitoona

15 Then lo! after that ye surely die.

16 Again, on the Day of Judgment, will ye be raised up.

16 Thumma innakum yawma alqiyamati tubAAathoona

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

17 And We have made, above you, seven tracts; and We are never unmindful of (our) Creation.

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 And We send down water from the sky according to (due) measure, and We cause it to soak in the soil; and We certainly are able to drain it off (with ease).

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 With it We grow for you gardens of date - palms and vines: in them have ye abundant fruits: and of them ye eat (and have enjoyment), -

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 Also a tree springing out of Mount Sinai, which produces oil, and relish for those who use it for food.

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 And in cattle (too) ye have an instructive example: from within their bodies We produce (milk) for you to drink; there are, in them, (besides), numerous (other) benefits for you; and of their (meat) ye eat;

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 And on them, as well as in ships, ye ride.

22 WaAAalayha waAAala alfulki tuhmaloona

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

23 (Further, We sent a long line of prophets for your instruction). We sent Noah to his people: He said, "O my people! worship Allah! Ye have no other god but Him. Will ye not fear (Him)?"

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 The chiefs of the Unbelievers among his people said: "He is no more than a man like yourselves: his wish is to assert his superiority over you: if Allah had wished (to send messengers), He could have sent down angels; never did we hear such a thing (as he says), among our ancestors of old."

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 (And some said): "He is only a man possessed: wait (and have patience) with him for a time."

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 (Noah) said: "O my Lord! help me: for that they accuse me of falsehood!"

26 Qala rabbi onsurnee bima kaththabooni

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

27 So We inspired him (with this message): "Construct the Ark within Our sight and under Our guidance: then when comes Our Command, and the fountains of the earth gush forth, take thou on board pairs of every species, male and female, and thy family - except those of them against whom the Word has already gone forth: And address Me not in favour of the wrong - doers; for they shall be drowned (in the Flood).

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 And when thou hast embarked on the Ark - thou and those with thee, - say: "Praise be to Allah, Who has saved us from the people who do wrong."

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 And say: "O my Lord! enable me to disembark with thy blessing: for Thou art the Best to enable (us) to disembark."

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 Verily in this there are Signs (for men to understand); (thus) do We try (men).

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 Then We raised after them another generation.

31 Thumma anshana min baAAdihim qarnan akhareena

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

32 And We sent to them a messenger from among themselves, (saying), "Worship Allah! ye have no other god but Him. Will ye not fear (Him)?"

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 And the chiefs of his people, who disbelieved and denied the Meeting in the Hereafter, and on whom We had bestowed the good things of this life, said: "He is no more than a man like yourselves: he eats of that of which ye eat, and drinks of what ye drink.

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 "If ye obey a man like yourselves, behold, it is certain ye will be lost.

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 "Does he promise that when ye die and become dust and bones, ye shall be brought forth (again)?

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 "Far, very far is that which ye are promised!

36 Hayhata hayhata lima tooAAadoona

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

37 "There is nothing but our life in this world! We shall die and we live! But we shall never be raised up again!

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 "He is only a man who invents a lie against Allah, but we are not the ones to believe in him!"

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 (The prophet) said: "O my Lord! help me: for that they accuse me of falsehood."

39 Qala rabbi onsurnee bima kaththabooni

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

40 (Allah) said: "In but a little while, they are sure to be sorry!"

40 Qala AAamma qaleelin layusbihunna nadimeena

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

41 Then the Blast overtook them with justice, and We made them as rubbish of dead leaves (floating on the stream of Time)! So away with the people who do wrong!

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 Then We raised after them other generations.

42 Thumma anshana min baAAdihim quroonan akhareena

42 Then after them We brought forth other generations.

43 No people can hasten their term, nor can they delay (it).

43 Ma tasbiqu min ommatin ajalaha wama yastakhiroona

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

44 Then sent We our messengers in succession: every time there came to a people their messenger, they accused him of falsehood: so We made them follow each other (in punishment): We made them as a tale (that is told): So away with a people that will not believe!

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 Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron, with Our Signs and authority manifest,

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 To Pharaoh and his Chiefs: But these behaved insolently: they were an arrogant people.

46 Ila firAAawna wamalaihi faistakbaroo wakanoo qawman AAaleena

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

47 They said: "Shall we believe in two men like ourselves? And their people are subject to us!"

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 So they accused them of falsehood, and they became of those who were destroyed.

48 Fakaththaboohuma fakanoo mina almuhlakeena

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

49 And We gave Moses the Book, in order that they might receive guidance.

49 Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba laAAallahum yahtadoona

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

50 And We made the son of Mary and his mother as a Sign: We gave them both shelter on high ground, affording rest and security and furnished with springs.

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 O ye messengers! enjoy (all) things good and pure, and work righteousness: for I am well - acquainted with (all) that ye do.

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 And verily this Brotherhood of yours is a single Brotherhood, and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore fear Me (and no other).

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 But people have cut off their affair (of unity), between them, into sects: each party rejoices in that which is with itself.

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 But leave them in their confused ignorance for a time.

54 Fatharhum fee ghamratihim hatta heenin

54 So leave them in their error till a time.

55 Do they think that because We have granted them abundance of wealth and sons,

55 Ayahsaboona annama numidduhum bihi min malin wabaneena

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

56 We would hasten them on in every good? Nay, they do not understand.

56 NusariAAu lahum fee alkhayrati bal la yashAAuroona

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

57 Verily those who live in awe for fear of their Lord;

57 Inna allatheena hum min khashyati rabbihim mushfiqoona

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

58 Those who believe in the Signs of their Lord;

58 Waallatheena hum biayati rabbihim yuminoona

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

59 Those who join not (in worship) partners with their Lord;

59 Waallatheena hum birabbihim la yushrikoona

59 And those who ascribe not partners unto their Lord,

60 And those who dispense their charity with their hearts full of fear, because they will return to 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 It is these who hasten in every good work, and these who are foremost in them.

61 Olaika yusariAAoona fee alkhayrati wahum laha sabiqoona

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

62 On no soul do We place a burden greater than it can bear: before Us is a record which clearly shows the truth: they will never be wronged.

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 But their hearts are in confused ignorance of this; and there are, besides that, deeds of theirs, which they will (continue) to do, -

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 Until, when We seize in Punishment those of them who received the good things of this world, behold, they will groan in supplication!

64 Hatta itha akhathna mutrafeehim bialAAathabi itha hum yajaroona

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

65 (It will be said): "Groan not in supplication this day: for ye shall certainly not be helped by Us.

65 La tajaroo alyawma innakum minna la tunsaroona

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

66 "My Signs used to be rehearsed to you, but ye used to turn back on your heels -

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 "In arrogance: talking nonsense about the (Qur'an), like one telling fables by night."

67 Mustakbireena bihi samiran tahjuroona

67 In scorn thereof. Nightly did ye rave together.

68 Do they not ponder over the Word (of Allah), or has anything (new) come to them that did not come to their fathers of old?

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 Or do they not recognise their Messenger, that they deny him?

69 Am lam yaAArifoo rasoolahum fahum lahu munkiroona

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

70 Or do they say, "He is possessed"? Nay, he has brought them the Truth, but most of them hate the Truth.

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 If the Truth had been in accord with their desires, truly the heavens and the earth, and all beings therein would have been in confusion and corruption! Nay, We have sent them their admonition, but they turn away from their admonition.

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 Or is it that thou askest them for some recompense? But the recompense of thy Lord is best: He is the Best of those who give sustenance.

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 But verily thou callest them to the Straight Way;

73 Wainnaka latadAAoohum ila siratin mustaqeemin

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

74 And verily those who believe not in the Hereafter are deviating from that Way.

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 If We had mercy on them and removed the distress which is on them, they would obstinately persist in their transgression, wandering in distraction to and fro.

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 We inflicted Punishment on them, but they humbled not themselves to their Lord, nor do they submissively entreat (Him)! -

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 Until We open on them a gate leading to a severe Punishment: then Lo! they will be plunged in despair therein!

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 It is He Who has created for you (the faculties of) hearing, sight, feeling and understanding: little thanks it is ye give!

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 And He has multiplied you through the earth, and to Him shall ye be gathered back.

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 It is He Who gives life and death, and to Him (is due) the alternation of Night and Day: will ye not then understand?

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 On the contrary they say things similar to what the ancients said.

81 Bal qaloo mithla ma qala alawwaloona

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

82 They say: "What! when we die and become dust and bones, could we really be raised up again?

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 "Such things have been promised to us and to our fathers before! they are nothing but tales of the ancients!"

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 Say: "To whom belong the earth and all beings therein? (say) if ye know!"

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 They will say, "To Allah!" say: "Yet will ye not receive admonition?"

85 Sayaqooloona lillahi qul afala tathakkaroona

85 They will say: Unto Allah. Say: Will ye not then remember ?

86 Say: "Who is the Lord of the seven heavens, and the Lord of the Throne (of Glory) Supreme?"

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 They will say, "(They belong) to Allah." Say: "Will ye not then be filled with awe?"

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 Say: "Who is it in whose hands is the governance of all things, - who protects (all), but is not protected (of any)? (say) if ye know."

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 They will say, "(It belongs) to Allah." Say: "Then how are ye deluded?"

89 Sayaqooloona lillahi qul faanna tusharoona

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

90 We have sent them the Truth: but they indeed practise falsehood!

90 Bal ataynahum bialhaqqi wainnahum lakathiboona

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

91 No son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with Him: (if there were many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have lorded it over others! Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the (sort of) things they attribute to Him!

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 He knows what is hidden and what is open: too high is He for the partners they attribute to Him!

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 Say: "O my Lord! if Thou wilt show me (in my lifetime) that which they are warned against, -

93 Qul rabbi imma turiyannee ma yooAAadoona

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

94 "Then, O my Lord! put me not amongst the people who do wrong!"

94 Rabbi fala tajAAalnee fee alqawmi alththalimeena

94 My Lord! then set me not among the wrongdoing folk.

95 And We are certainly able to show thee (in fulfilment) that against which they are warned.

95 Wainna AAala an nuriyaka ma naAAiduhum laqadiroona

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

96 Repel evil with that which is best: We are well acquainted with the things they say.
