والكتاب المبين
By the Book that makes things clear, -
By the clear Book,
وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
إنا جعلناه قرآنا عربيا لعلكم تعقلون
We have made it a Qur'an in Arabic, that ye may be able to understand (and learn wisdom).
Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand.
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهُ قُرْءَٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
وإنه في أم الكتاب لدينا لعلي حكيم
And verily, it is in the Mother of the Book, in Our Presence, high (in dignity), full of wisdom.
And indeed it is, in the Mother of the Book with Us, exalted and full of wisdom.
وَإِنَّهُۥ فِىٓ أُمِّ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لَدَيْنَا لَعَلِىٌّ حَكِيمٌ
أفنضرب عنكم الذكر صفحا أن كنتم قوما مسرفين
Shall We then take away the Message from you and repel (you), for that ye are a people transgressing beyond bounds?
Then should We turn the message away, disregarding you, because you are a transgressing people?
أَفَنَضْرِبُ عَنكُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَ صَفْحًا أَن كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا مُّسْرِفِينَ
وكم أرسلنا من نبي في الأولين
But how many were the prophets We sent amongst the peoples of old?
And how many a prophet We sent among the former peoples,
وَكَمْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن نَّبِىٍّ فِى ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
وما يأتيهم من نبي إلا كانوا به يستهزئون
And never came there a prophet to them but they mocked him.
But there would not come to them a prophet except that they used to ridicule him.
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن نَّبِىٍّ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
فأهلكنا أشد منهم بطشا ومضى مثل الأولين
So We destroyed (them) - stronger in power than these; - and (thus) has passed on the Parable of the peoples of old.
And We destroyed greater than them in [striking] power, and the example of the former peoples has preceded.
فَأَهْلَكْنَآ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُم بَطْشًا وَمَضَىٰ مَثَلُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
ولئن سألتهم من خلق السماوات والأرض ليقولن خلقهن العزيز العليم
If thou wert to question them, 'Who created the heavens and the earth?' They would be sure to reply, 'they were created by (Him), the Exalted in Power, Full of Knowledge'; -
And if you should ask them, "Who has created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "They were created by the Exalted in Might, the Knowing."
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
الذي جعل لكم الأرض مهدا وجعل لكم فيها سبلا لعلكم تهتدون
(Yea, the same that) has made for you the earth (like a carpet) spread out, and has made for you roads (and channels) therein, in order that ye may find guidance (on the way);
[The one] who has made for you the earth a bed and made for you upon it roads that you might be guided
ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ
والذي نزل من السماء ماء بقدر فأنشرنا به بلدة ميتا ۚ كذلك تخرجون
That sends down (from time to time) rain from the sky in due measure; - and We raise to life therewith a land that is dead; even so will ye be raised (from the dead); -
And who sends down rain from the sky in measured amounts, and We revive thereby a dead land - thus will 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
That has created pairs in all things, and has made for you ships and cattle on which ye ride,
And who created the species, all of them, and has made for you of ships and animals those which you mount.
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
In order that ye may sit firm and square on their backs, and when so seated, ye may celebrate the (kind) favour of your Lord, and say, "Glory to Him Who has subjected these to our (use), for we could never have accomplished this (by ourselves),
That you may settle yourselves upon their backs and then remember the favor of your Lord when you have settled upon them and say. "Exalted is He who has subjected this to us, and we could not have [otherwise] subdued 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 to our Lord, surely, must we turn back!"
And indeed we, to our Lord, will [surely] return."
وَإِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ
وجعلوا له من عباده جزءا ۚ إن الإنسان لكفور مبين
Yet they attribute to some of His servants a share with Him (in his godhead)! truly is man a blasphemous ingrate avowed!
But they have attributed to Him from His servants a portion. Indeed, man is clearly ungrateful.
وَجَعَلُوا۟ لَهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ جُزْءًا إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَكَفُورٌ مُّبِينٌ
أم اتخذ مما يخلق بنات وأصفاكم بالبنين
What! has He taken daughters out of what He himself creates, and granted to you sons for choice?
Or has He taken, out of what He has created, daughters and chosen you for [having] sons?
أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ بَنَاتٍ وَأَصْفَىٰكُم بِٱلْبَنِينَ
وإذا بشر أحدهم بما ضرب للرحمن مثلا ظل وجهه مسودا وهو كظيم
When news is brought to one of them of (the birth of) what he sets up as a likeness to (Allah) Most Gracious, his face darkens, and he is filled with inward grief!
And when one of them is given good tidings of that which he attributes to the Most Merciful in comparison, his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief.
وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ مَثَلًا ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُۥ مُسْوَدًّا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ
أومن ينشأ في الحلية وهو في الخصام غير مبين
Is then one brought up among trinkets, and unable to give a clear account in a dispute (to be associated with Allah)?
So is one brought up in ornaments while being during conflict unevident [attributed to Allah]?
أَوَمَن يُنَشَّؤُا۟ فِى ٱلْحِلْيَةِ وَهُوَ فِى ٱلْخِصَامِ غَيْرُ مُبِينٍ
وجعلوا الملائكة الذين هم عباد الرحمن إناثا ۚ أشهدوا خلقهم ۚ ستكتب شهادتهم ويسألون
And they make into females angels who themselves serve Allah. Did they witness their creation? Their evidence will be recorded, and they will be called to account!
And they have made the angels, who are servants of the Most Merciful, females. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be recorded, and they will 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
("Ah!") they say, "If it had been the will of (Allah) Most Gracious, we should not have worshipped such (deities)!" Of that they have no knowledge! they do nothing but lie!
And they said, "If the Most Merciful had willed, we would not have worshipped them." They have of that no knowledge. They are not but falsifying.
وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْ شَآءَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ مَا عَبَدْنَٰهُم مَّا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ
أم آتيناهم كتابا من قبله فهم به مستمسكون
What! have We given them a Book before this, to which they are holding fast?
Or have We given them a book before the Qur'an to which they are adhering?
أَمْ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُمْ كِتَٰبًا مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ فَهُم بِهِۦ مُسْتَمْسِكُونَ
بل قالوا إنا وجدنا آباءنا على أمة وإنا على آثارهم مهتدون
Nay! they say: "We found our fathers following a certain religion, and we do guide ourselves by their footsteps."
Rather, they say, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are in their footsteps [rightly] guided."
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
Just in the same way, whenever We sent a Warner before thee to any people, the wealthy ones among them said: "We found our fathers following a certain religion, and we will certainly follow in their footsteps."
And similarly, We did not send before you any warner into a city except that its affluent said, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are, in their footsteps, following."
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
He said: "What! Even if I brought you better guidance than that which ye found your fathers following?" They said: "For us, we deny that ye (prophets) are sent (on a mission at all)."
[Each warner] said, "Even if I brought you better guidance than that [religion] upon which you found your fathers?" They said, "Indeed we, in that with which you were sent, are disbelievers."
قَٰلَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكُم بِأَهْدَىٰ مِمَّا وَجَدتُّمْ عَلَيْهِ ءَابَآءَكُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا بِمَآ أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ
فانتقمنا منهم ۖ فانظر كيف كان عاقبة المكذبين
So We exacted retribution from them: now see what was the end of those who rejected (Truth)!
So we took retribution from them; then see how was the end of the deniers.
فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
وإذ قال إبراهيم لأبيه وقومه إنني براء مما تعبدون
Behold! Abraham said to his father and his people: "I do indeed clear myself of what ye worship:
And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham said to his father and his people, "Indeed, I am disassociated from that which you worship
وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَٰهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنَّنِى بَرَآءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ
إلا الذي فطرني فإنه سيهدين
"(I worship) only Him Who made me, and He will certainly guide me."
Except for He who created me; and indeed, He will guide me."
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنِى فَإِنَّهُۥ سَيَهْدِينِ
وجعلها كلمة باقية في عقبه لعلهم يرجعون
And he left it as a Word to endure among those who came after him, that they may turn back (to Allah).
And he made it a word remaining among his descendants that they might return [to it].
وَجَعَلَهَا كَلِمَةًۢ بَاقِيَةً فِى عَقِبِهِۦ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
بل متعت هؤلاء وآباءهم حتى جاءهم الحق ورسول مبين
Yea, I have given the good things of this life to these (men) and their fathers, until the Truth has come to them, and a messenger making things clear.
However, I gave enjoyment to these [people of Makkah] and their fathers until there came to them the truth and a clear Messenger.
بَلْ مَتَّعْتُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ وَرَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ
ولما جاءهم الحق قالوا هذا سحر وإنا به كافرون
But when the Truth came to them, they said: "This is sorcery, and we do reject it."
But when the truth came to them, they said, "This is magic, and indeed we are, concerning it, disbelievers."
وَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ قَالُوا۟ هَٰذَا سِحْرٌ وَإِنَّا بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ
وقالوا لولا نزل هذا القرآن على رجل من القريتين عظيم
Also, they say: "Why is not this Qur'an sent down to some leading man in either of the two (chief) cities?"
And they said, "Why was this Qur'an not sent down upon a great man from [one of] the two cities?"
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 would portion out the Mercy of thy Lord? It is We Who portion out between them their livelihood in the life of this world: and We raise some of them above others in ranks, so that some may command work from others. But the Mercy of thy Lord is better than the (wealth) which they amass.
Do they distribute the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of this world and have raised some of them above others in degrees [of rank] that they may make use of one another for service. But the mercy of your Lord is better than whatever they accumulate.
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 (all) men might become of one (evil) way of life, We would provide, for everyone that blasphemes against (Allah) Most Gracious, silver roofs for their houses and (silver) stair - ways on which to go up,
And if it were not that the people would become one community [of disbelievers], We would have made for those who disbelieve in the Most Merciful - for their houses - ceilings and stairways of silver upon which to mount
وَلَوْلَآ أَن يَكُونَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً لَّجَعَلْنَا لِمَن يَكْفُرُ بِٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ لِبُيُوتِهِمْ سُقُفًا مِّن فِضَّةٍ وَمَعَارِجَ عَلَيْهَا يَظْهَرُونَ
ولبيوتهم أبوابا وسررا عليها يتكئون
And (silver) doors to their houses, and thrones (of silver) on which they could recline,
And for their houses - doors and couches [of silver] upon which to recline
وَلِبُيُوتِهِمْ أَبْوَٰبًا وَسُرُرًا عَلَيْهَا يَتَّكِـُٔونَ
وزخرفا ۚ وإن كل ذلك لما متاع الحياة الدنيا ۚ والآخرة عند ربك للمتقين
And also adornments of gold. But all this were nothing but conveniences of the present life: The Hereafter, in the sight of thy Lord is for the Righteous.
And gold ornament. But all that is not but the enjoyment of worldly life. And the Hereafter with your Lord is for the righteous.
وَزُخْرُفًا وَإِن كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَٰعُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
ومن يعش عن ذكر الرحمن نقيض له شيطانا فهو له قرين
If anyone withdraws himself from remembrance of (Allah) Most Gracious, We appoint for him an evil one, to be an intimate companion to him.
And whoever is blinded from remembrance of the Most Merciful - We appoint for him a devil, and he is to him a companion.
وَمَن يَعْشُ عَن ذِكْرِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ نُقَيِّضْ لَهُۥ شَيْطَٰنًا فَهُوَ لَهُۥ قَرِينٌ
وإنهم ليصدونهم عن السبيل ويحسبون أنهم مهتدون
Such (evil ones) really hinder them from the Path, but they think that they are being guided aright!
And indeed, the devils avert them from the way [of guidance] while they think that they are [rightly] guided
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيَصُدُّونَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ
حتى إذا جاءنا قال يا ليت بيني وبينك بعد المشرقين فبئس القرين
At length, when (such a one) comes to Us, he says (to his evil companion): "Would that between me and thee were the distance of East and West!" Ah! evil is the companion (indeed)!
Until, when he comes to Us [at Judgement], he says [to his companion], "Oh, I wish there was between me and you the distance between the east and west - how wretched a companion."
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَنَا قَالَ يَٰلَيْتَ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكَ بُعْدَ ٱلْمَشْرِقَيْنِ فَبِئْسَ ٱلْقَرِينُ
ولن ينفعكم اليوم إذ ظلمتم أنكم في العذاب مشتركون
When ye have done wrong, it will avail you nothing, that Day, that ye shall be partners in Punishment!
And never will it benefit you that Day, when you have wronged, that you are [all] sharing in the punishment.
وَلَن يَنفَعَكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ إِذ ظَّلَمْتُمْ أَنَّكُمْ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ
أفأنت تسمع الصم أو تهدي العمي ومن كان في ضلال مبين
Canst thou then make the deaf to hear, or give direction to the blind or to such as (wander) in manifest error?
Then will you make the deaf hear, [O Muhammad], or guide the blind or he who is in clear error?
أَفَأَنتَ تُسْمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ أَوْ تَهْدِى ٱلْعُمْىَ وَمَن كَانَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ
فإما نذهبن بك فإنا منهم منتقمون
Even if We take thee away, We shall be sure to exact retribution from them,
And whether [or not] We take you away [in death], indeed, We will take retribution upon them.
فَإِمَّا نَذْهَبَنَّ بِكَ فَإِنَّا مِنْهُم مُّنتَقِمُونَ
أو نرينك الذي وعدناهم فإنا عليهم مقتدرون
Or We shall show thee that (accomplished) which We have promised them: for verily We shall prevail over them.
Or whether [or not] We show you that which We have promised them, indeed, We are Perfect in Ability.
أَوْ نُرِيَنَّكَ ٱلَّذِى وَعَدْنَٰهُمْ فَإِنَّا عَلَيْهِم مُّقْتَدِرُونَ
فاستمسك بالذي أوحي إليك ۖ إنك على صراط مستقيم
So hold thou fast to the Revelation sent down to thee; verily thou art on a Straight Way.
So adhere to that which is revealed to you. Indeed, you are on a straight path.
فَٱسْتَمْسِكْ بِٱلَّذِىٓ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
وإنه لذكر لك ولقومك ۖ وسوف تسألون
The (Qur'an) is indeed the message, for thee and for thy people; and soon shall ye (all) be brought to account.
And indeed, it is a remembrance for you and your people, and you [all] are going to be questioned.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَذِكْرٌ لَّكَ وَلِقَوْمِكَ وَسَوْفَ تُسْـَٔلُونَ
واسأل من أرسلنا من قبلك من رسلنا أجعلنا من دون الرحمن آلهة يعبدون
And question thou our messengers whom We sent before thee; did We appoint any deities other than (Allah) Most Gracious, to be worshipped?
And ask those We sent before you of Our messengers; have We made besides the Most Merciful deities to be worshipped?
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
We did send Moses aforetime, with Our Signs, to Pharaoh and his Chiefs: He said, "I am a messenger of the Lord of the Worlds."
And certainly did We send Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, and he said, "Indeed, I am the messenger 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 came to them with Our Signs, behold they ridiculed them.
But when he brought them Our signs, at once they laughed at them.
فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَضْحَكُونَ
وما نريهم من آية إلا هي أكبر من أختها ۖ وأخذناهم بالعذاب لعلهم يرجعون
We showed them Sign after Sign, each greater than its fellow, and We seized them with Punishment, in order that they might turn (to Us).
And We showed them not a sign except that it was greater than its sister, and We seized them with affliction that perhaps they might return [to faith].
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 thou sorcerer! Invoke thy Lord for us according to His covenant with thee; for we shall truly accept guidance."
And they said [to Moses], "O magician, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. Indeed, we will be guided."
وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَيُّهَ ٱلسَّاحِرُ ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ إِنَّنَا لَمُهْتَدُونَ
فلما كشفنا عنهم العذاب إذا هم ينكثون
But when We removed the Penalty from them, behold, they broke their word.
But when We removed from them the affliction, at once they broke their word.
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 proclaimed among his people, saying: "O my people! Does not the dominion of Egypt belong to me, (witness) these streams flowing underneath my (palace)? What! see ye not then?
And Pharaoh called out among his people; he said, "O my people, does not the kingdom of Egypt belong to me, and these rivers flowing beneath me; then do you not 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
"Am I not better than this (Moses), who is a contemptible wretch and can scarcely express himself clearly?
Or am I [not] better than this one who is insignificant and hardly makes himself clear?
أَمْ أَنَا۠ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى هُوَ مَهِينٌ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُبِينُ
فلولا ألقي عليه أسورة من ذهب أو جاء معه الملائكة مقترنين
"Then why are not gold bracelets bestowed on him, or (why) come (not) with him angels accompanying him in procession?"
Then why have there not been placed upon him bracelets of gold or come with him the angels in conjunction?"
فَلَوْلَآ أُلْقِىَ عَلَيْهِ أَسْوِرَةٌ مِّن ذَهَبٍ أَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ مُقْتَرِنِينَ
فاستخف قومه فأطاعوه ۚ إنهم كانوا قوما فاسقين
Thus did he make fools of his people, and they obeyed him: truly were they a people rebellious (against Allah).
So he bluffed his people, and they obeyed him. Indeed, they were [themselves] a people defiantly disobedient [of Allah].
فَٱسْتَخَفَّ قَوْمَهُۥ فَأَطَاعُوهُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَٰسِقِينَ
فلما آسفونا انتقمنا منهم فأغرقناهم أجمعين
When at length they provoked Us, We exacted retribution from them, and We drowned them all.
And when they angered Us, We took retribution from them and drowned them all.
فَلَمَّآ ءَاسَفُونَا ٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَأَغْرَقْنَٰهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
فجعلناهم سلفا ومثلا للآخرين
And We made them (a people) of the Past and an Example to later ages.
And We made them a precedent and an example for the later peoples.
فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمْ سَلَفًا وَمَثَلًا لِّلْءَاخِرِينَ
۞ ولما ضرب ابن مريم مثلا إذا قومك منه يصدون
When (Jesus) the son of Mary is held up as an example, behold, thy people raise a clamour thereat (in ridicule)!
And when the son of Mary was presented as an example, immediately your people laughed aloud.
وَلَمَّا ضُرِبَ ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ مَثَلًا إِذَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْهُ يَصِدُّونَ
وقالوا أآلهتنا خير أم هو ۚ ما ضربوه لك إلا جدلا ۚ بل هم قوم خصمون
And they say, "Are our gods best, or he?" This they set forth to thee, only by way of disputation: yea, they are a contentious people.
And they said, "Are your gods better, or is he?" They did not present the comparison except for [mere] argument. But, [in fact], they are a people prone to dispute.
وَقَالُوٓا۟ ءَأَٰلِهَتُنَا خَيْرٌ أَمْ هُوَ مَا ضَرَبُوهُ لَكَ إِلَّا جَدَلًۢا بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ خَصِمُونَ
إن هو إلا عبد أنعمنا عليه وجعلناه مثلا لبني إسرائيل
He was no more than a servant: We granted Our favour to him, and We made him an example to the Children of Israel.
Jesus was not but a servant upon whom We bestowed favor, and We made him an example for the Children of Israel.
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا عَبْدٌ أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَلْنَٰهُ مَثَلًا لِّبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
ولو نشاء لجعلنا منكم ملائكة في الأرض يخلفون
And if it were Our Will, We could make angels from amongst you, succeeding each other on the earth.
And if We willed, We could have made [instead] of you angels succeeding [one another] on the earth.
وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَا مِنكُم مَّلَٰٓئِكَةً فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَخْلُفُونَ
وإنه لعلم للساعة فلا تمترن بها واتبعون ۚ هذا صراط مستقيم
And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye Me: this is a Straight Way.
And indeed, Jesus will be [a sign for] knowledge of the Hour, so be not in doubt of it, and follow Me. This is a straight path.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَعِلْمٌ لِّلسَّاعَةِ فَلَا تَمْتَرُنَّ بِهَا وَٱتَّبِعُونِ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ
ولا يصدنكم الشيطان ۖ إنه لكم عدو مبين
Let not the Evil One hinder you: for he is to you an enemy avowed.
And never let Satan avert you. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.
وَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ
ولما جاء عيسى بالبينات قال قد جئتكم بالحكمة ولأبين لكم بعض الذي تختلفون فيه ۖ فاتقوا الله وأطيعون
When Jesus came with Clear Signs, he said: "Now have I come to you with Wisdom, and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) on which ye dispute: therefore fear Allah and obey me.
And when Jesus brought clear proofs, he said, "I have come to you with wisdom and to make clear to you some of that over which you differ, so fear Allah and obey me.
وَلَمَّا جَآءَ عِيسَىٰ بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ قَالَ قَدْ جِئْتُكُم بِٱلْحِكْمَةِ وَلِأُبَيِّنَ لَكُم بَعْضَ ٱلَّذِى تَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
إن الله هو ربي وربكم فاعبدوه ۚ هذا صراط مستقيم
"For Allah, He is my Lord and your Lord: so worship ye Him: this is a Straight Way."
Indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. This is a straight path."
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ رَبِّى وَرَبُّكُمْ فَٱعْبُدُوهُ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ
فاختلف الأحزاب من بينهم ۖ فويل للذين ظلموا من عذاب يوم أليم
But sects from among themselves fell into disagreement: then woe to the wrong - doers, from the Penalty of a Grievous Day!
But the denominations from among them differed [and separated], so woe to those who have wronged from the punishment of a painful Day.
فَٱخْتَلَفَ ٱلْأَحْزَابُ مِنۢ بَيْنِهِمْ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمٍ أَلِيمٍ
هل ينظرون إلا الساعة أن تأتيهم بغتة وهم لا يشعرون
Do they only wait for the Hour - that it should come on them all of a sudden, while they perceive not?
Are they waiting except for the Hour to come upon them suddenly while they perceive not?
هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ أَن تَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
الأخلاء يومئذ بعضهم لبعض عدو إلا المتقين
Friends on that day will be foes, one to another, - except the Righteous.
Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous
ٱلْأَخِلَّآءُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ
يا عباد لا خوف عليكم اليوم ولا أنتم تحزنون
My devotees! no fear shall be on you that Day, nor shall ye grieve, -
[To whom Allah will say], "O My servants, no fear will there be concerning you this Day, nor will you grieve,
يَٰعِبَادِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَلَآ أَنتُمْ تَحْزَنُونَ
الذين آمنوا بآياتنا وكانوا مسلمين
(Being) those who have believed in Our Signs and bowed (their wills to Ours) in Islam.
[You] who believed in Our verses and were Muslims.
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَكَانُوا۟ مُسْلِمِينَ
ادخلوا الجنة أنتم وأزواجكم تحبرون
Enter ye the Garden, ye and your wives, in (beauty and) rejoicing.
Enter Paradise, you and your kinds, delighted."
ٱدْخُلُوا۟ ٱلْجَنَّةَ أَنتُمْ وَأَزْوَٰجُكُمْ تُحْبَرُونَ
يطاف عليهم بصحاف من ذهب وأكواب ۖ وفيها ما تشتهيه الأنفس وتلذ الأعين ۖ وأنتم فيها خالدون
To them will be passed round, dishes and goblets of gold: there will be there all that the souls could desire, all that their eyes could delight in: and ye shall abide therein (for eye).
Circulated among them will be plates and vessels of gold. And therein is whatever the souls desire and [what] delights the eyes, and you will abide therein eternally.
يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِصِحَافٍ مِّن ذَهَبٍ وَأَكْوَابٍ وَفِيهَا مَا تَشْتَهِيهِ ٱلْأَنفُسُ وَتَلَذُّ ٱلْأَعْيُنُ وَأَنتُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ
وتلك الجنة التي أورثتموها بما كنتم تعملون
Such will be the Garden of which ye are made heirs for your (good) deeds (in life).
And that is Paradise which you are made to inherit for what you used to do.
وَتِلْكَ ٱلْجَنَّةُ ٱلَّتِىٓ أُورِثْتُمُوهَا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
لكم فيها فاكهة كثيرة منها تأكلون
Ye shall have therein abundance of fruit, from which ye shall have satisfaction.
For you therein is much fruit from which you will eat.
لَكُمْ فِيهَا فَٰكِهَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ مِّنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ
إن المجرمين في عذاب جهنم خالدون
The sinners will be in the Punishment of Hell, to dwell therein (for aye):
Indeed, the criminals will be in the punishment of Hell, abiding eternally.
إِنَّ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ فِى عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدُونَ
لا يفتر عنهم وهم فيه مبلسون
Nowise will the (Punishment) be lightened for them, and in despair will they be there overwhelmed.
It will not be allowed to subside for them, and they, therein, are in despair.
لَا يُفَتَّرُ عَنْهُمْ وَهُمْ فِيهِ مُبْلِسُونَ
وما ظلمناهم ولكن كانوا هم الظالمين
Nowise shall We be unjust to them: but it is they who have been unjust themselves.
And We did not wrong them, but it was they who were the wrongdoers.
وَمَا ظَلَمْنَٰهُمْ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
ونادوا يا مالك ليقض علينا ربك ۖ قال إنكم ماكثون
They will cry: "O Malik! would that thy Lord put an end to us!" He will say, "Nay, but ye shall abide!"
And they will call, "O Malik, let your Lord put an end to us!" He will say, "Indeed, you will remain."
وَنَادَوْا۟ يَٰمَٰلِكُ لِيَقْضِ عَلَيْنَا رَبُّكَ قَالَ إِنَّكُم مَّٰكِثُونَ
لقد جئناكم بالحق ولكن أكثركم للحق كارهون
Verily We have brought the Truth to you: but most of you have a hatred for Truth.
We had certainly brought you the truth, but most of you, to the truth, were averse.
لَقَدْ جِئْنَٰكُم بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَكُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كَٰرِهُونَ
أم أبرموا أمرا فإنا مبرمون
What! have they settled some plan (among themselves)? But it is We Who settle things.
Or have they devised [some] affair? But indeed, We are devising [a plan].
أَمْ أَبْرَمُوٓا۟ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّا مُبْرِمُونَ
أم يحسبون أنا لا نسمع سرهم ونجواهم ۚ بلى ورسلنا لديهم يكتبون
Or do they think that We hear not their secrets and their private counsels? Indeed (We do), and Our messengers are by them, to record.
Or do they think that We hear not their secrets and their private conversations? Yes, [We do], and Our messengers are with them recording.
أَمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّا لَا نَسْمَعُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَىٰهُم بَلَىٰ وَرُسُلُنَا لَدَيْهِمْ يَكْتُبُونَ
قل إن كان للرحمن ولد فأنا أول العابدين
Say: "If (Allah) Most Gracious had a son, I would be the first to worship."
Say, [O Muhammad], "If the Most Merciful had a son, then I would be the first of [his] worshippers."
قُلْ إِن كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ وَلَدٌ فَأَنَا۠ أَوَّلُ ٱلْعَٰبِدِينَ
سبحان رب السماوات والأرض رب العرش عما يصفون
Glory to the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne (of Authority)! (He is free) from the things they attribute (to him)!
Exalted is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.
سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
فذرهم يخوضوا ويلعبوا حتى يلاقوا يومهم الذي يوعدون
So leave them to babble and play (with vanities) until they meet that Day of theirs, which they have been promised.
So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised.
فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ
وهو الذي في السماء إله وفي الأرض إله ۚ وهو الحكيم العليم
It is He Who is Allah in heaven and Allah on earth; and He is full of Wisdom and Knowledge.
And it is Allah who is [the only] deity in the heaven, and on the earth [the only] deity. And He is the Wise, the Knowing.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِلَٰهٌ وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَٰهٌ وَهُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
وتبارك الذي له ملك السماوات والأرض وما بينهما وعنده علم الساعة وإليه ترجعون
And blessed is He to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all between them: with Him is the Knowledge of the Hour (of Judgment): and to Him shall ye be brought back.
And blessed is He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them and with whom is knowledge of the Hour and to whom you will be returned.
وَتَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَعِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
ولا يملك الذين يدعون من دونه الشفاعة إلا من شهد بالحق وهم يعلمون
And those whom they invoke besides Allah have no power of intercession; - only he who bears witness to the Truth, and they know (him).
And those they invoke besides Him do not possess [power of] intercession; but only those who testify to the truth [can benefit], and they know.
وَلَا يَمْلِكُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةَ إِلَّا مَن شَهِدَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
ولئن سألتهم من خلقهم ليقولن الله ۖ فأنى يؤفكون
If thou ask them, who created them, they will certainly say, Allah: How then are they deluded away (from the Truth)?
And if you asked them who created them, they would surely say, "Allah." So how are they deluded?
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُ فَأَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ
وقيله يا رب إن هؤلاء قوم لا يؤمنون
(Allah has knowledge) of the (Prophet's) cry, "O my Lord! Truly these are people who will not believe!"
And [Allah acknowledges] his saying, "O my Lord, indeed these are a people who do not believe."
وَقِيلِهِۦ يَٰرَبِّ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ
فاصفح عنهم وقل سلام ۚ فسوف يعلمون
But turn away from them, and say "Peace!" But soon shall they know!
So turn aside from them and say, "Peace." But they are going to know.
فَٱصْفَحْ عَنْهُمْ وَقُلْ سَلَٰمٌ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
