Pickthall
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Alif. Lam. Ra. (This is) a Scripture the revelations whereof are perfected and then expounded. (It cometh) from One Wise, ,
Arabic
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الر ۚ كتاب أحكمت آياته ثم فصلت من لدن حكيم خبير
And (bidding you): Ask pardon of your Lord and turn to Him repentant. He will cause you to enjoy a fair estate until a time appointed. He giveth His bounty unto every bountiful one. But if ye turn away, lo! (then) I fear for you the retribution of an awful Day.
Arabic
وأن استغفروا ربكم ثم توبوا إليه يمتعكم متاعا حسنا إلى أجل مسمى ويؤت كل ذي فضل فضله ۖ وإن تولوا فإني أخاف عليكم عذاب يوم كبير
Lo! now they fold up their breasts that they may hide (their thoughts) from Him. At the very moment when they cover themselves with their clothing, Allah knoweth that which they keep hidden and that which they proclaim. Lo! He is Aware of what is in the breasts (of men).
Arabic
ألا إنهم يثنون صدورهم ليستخفوا منه ۚ ألا حين يستغشون ثيابهم يعلم ما يسرون وما يعلنون ۚ إنه عليم بذات الصدور
And there is not a beast in the earth but the sustenance thereof dependeth on Allah. He knoweth its habitation and its repository. All is in a clear Record.
Arabic
۞ وما من دابة في الأرض إلا على الله رزقها ويعلم مستقرها ومستودعها ۚ كل في كتاب مبين
And He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days - and His Throne was upon the water - that He might try you, which of you is best in conduct. Yet if thou (O Muhammad) sayest: Lo! ye will be raised again after death! those who disbelieve will surely say: This is naught but mere magic.
Arabic
وهو الذي خلق السماوات والأرض في ستة أيام وكان عرشه على الماء ليبلوكم أيكم أحسن عملا ۗ ولئن قلت إنكم مبعوثون من بعد الموت ليقولن الذين كفروا إن هذا إلا سحر مبين
And if We delay for them the doom until a reckoned time, they will surely say: What withholdeth it ? Verily on the day when it cometh unto them, it cannot be averted from them, and that which they derided will surround them.
Arabic
ولئن أخرنا عنهم العذاب إلى أمة معدودة ليقولن ما يحبسه ۗ ألا يوم يأتيهم ليس مصروفا عنهم وحاق بهم ما كانوا به يستهزئون
A likely thing, that thou wouldst forsake aught of that which hath been revealed unto thee, and that thy breast should be straitened for it, because they say: Why hath not a treasure been sent down for him, or an angel come with him ? Thou art but a warner, and Allah is in charge of all things.
Arabic
فلعلك تارك بعض ما يوحى إليك وضائق به صدرك أن يقولوا لولا أنزل عليه كنز أو جاء معه ملك ۚ إنما أنت نذير ۚ والله على كل شيء وكيل
Or they say: He hath invented it. Say: Then bring ten surahs, the like thereof, invented, and call on everyone ye can beside Allah, if ye are truthful!
Arabic
أم يقولون افتراه ۖ قل فأتوا بعشر سور مثله مفتريات وادعوا من استطعتم من دون الله إن كنتم صادقين
And if they answer not your prayer, then know that it is revealed only in the knowledge of Allah; and that there is no God save Him. Will ye then be (of) those who surrender ?
Arabic
فإلم يستجيبوا لكم فاعلموا أنما أنزل بعلم الله وأن لا إله إلا هو ۖ فهل أنتم مسلمون
Those are they for whom is naught in the Hereafter save the Fire. (All) that they contrive here is vain and (all) that they are wont to do is fruitless.
Arabic
أولئك الذين ليس لهم في الآخرة إلا النار ۖ وحبط ما صنعوا فيها وباطل ما كانوا يعملون
Is he (to be counted equal with them) who relieth on a clear proof from his Lord, and a witness from Him reciteth it, and before it was the Book of Moses, an example and a mercy ? Such believe therein, and whoso disbelieveth therein of the clans, the Fire is his appointed place. So be not thou in doubt concerning it. Lo! it is the Truth from thy Lord; but most of mankind believe not.
Arabic
أفمن كان على بينة من ربه ويتلوه شاهد منه ومن قبله كتاب موسى إماما ورحمة ۚ أولئك يؤمنون به ۚ ومن يكفر به من الأحزاب فالنار موعده ۚ فلا تك في مرية منه ۚ إنه الحق من ربك ولكن أكثر الناس لا يؤمنون
Who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning Allah ? Such will be brought before their Lord, and the witnesses will say: These are they who lied concerning their Lord. Now the curse of Allah is upon wrong - doers,
Arabic
ومن أظلم ممن افترى على الله كذبا ۚ أولئك يعرضون على ربهم ويقول الأشهاد هؤلاء الذين كذبوا على ربهم ۚ ألا لعنة الله على الظالمين
Such will not escape in the earth, nor have they any protecting friends beside Allah. For them the torment will be double. They could not bear to hear, and they used not to see.
Arabic
أولئك لم يكونوا معجزين في الأرض وما كان لهم من دون الله من أولياء ۘ يضاعف لهم العذاب ۚ ما كانوا يستطيعون السمع وما كانوا يبصرون
The similitude of the two parties is as the blind and the deaf and the seer and the hearer. Are they equal in similitude ? Will ye not then be admonished ?
Arabic
۞ مثل الفريقين كالأعمى والأصم والبصير والسميع ۚ هل يستويان مثلا ۚ أفلا تذكرون
The chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved, said: We see thee but a mortal like us, and we see not that any follow thee save the most abject among us, without reflection. We behold in you no merit above us - nay, we deem you liars.
Arabic
فقال الملأ الذين كفروا من قومه ما نراك إلا بشرا مثلنا وما نراك اتبعك إلا الذين هم أراذلنا بادي الرأي وما نرى لكم علينا من فضل بل نظنكم كاذبين
He said: O my people! Bethink you, if I rely on a clear proof from my Lord and there hath come unto me a mercy from His presence, and it hath been made obscure to you, can we compel you to accept it when ye are averse thereto ?
Arabic
قال يا قوم أرأيتم إن كنت على بينة من ربي وآتاني رحمة من عنده فعميت عليكم أنلزمكموها وأنتم لها كارهون
And O my people! I ask of you no wealth therefor. My reward is the concern only of Allah, and I am not going to thrust away those who believe - Lo! they have to meet their Lord! - but I see you a folk that are ignorant.
Arabic
ويا قوم لا أسألكم عليه مالا ۖ إن أجري إلا على الله ۚ وما أنا بطارد الذين آمنوا ۚ إنهم ملاقو ربهم ولكني أراكم قوما تجهلون
I say not unto you: "I have the treasures of Allah" nor "I have knowledge of the Unseen," nor say I: "Lo! I am an angel!" Nor say I unto those whom your eyes scorn that Allah will not give them good - Allah knoweth best what is in their hearts - Lo! then indeed I should be of the wrong - doers.
Arabic
ولا أقول لكم عندي خزائن الله ولا أعلم الغيب ولا أقول إني ملك ولا أقول للذين تزدري أعينكم لن يؤتيهم الله خيرا ۖ الله أعلم بما في أنفسهم ۖ إني إذا لمن الظالمين
They said: O Noah! Thou hast disputed with us and multiplied disputation with us; now bring upon us that wherewith thou threatenest us, if thou art of the truthful.
Arabic
قالوا يا نوح قد جادلتنا فأكثرت جدالنا فأتنا بما تعدنا إن كنت من الصادقين
My counsel will not profit you if I were minded to advise you, if Allah's will is to keep you astray. He is your Lord and unto Him ye will be brought back.
Arabic
ولا ينفعكم نصحي إن أردت أن أنصح لكم إن كان الله يريد أن يغويكم ۚ هو ربكم وإليه ترجعون
And it was inspired in Noah, (saying): No - one of thy folk will believe save him who hath believed already. Be not distressed because of what they do.

And he was building the ship, and every time that chieftains of his people passed him, they made mock of him. He said: Though ye make mock of Us, yet We mock at you even as ye mock;
Arabic
ويصنع الفلك وكلما مر عليه ملأ من قومه سخروا منه ۚ قال إن تسخروا منا فإنا نسخر منكم كما تسخرون
(Thus it was) till, when Our commandment came to pass and the oven gushed forth water, We said: Load therein two of every kind, a pair (the male and female), and thy household, save him against whom the word hath gone forth already, and those who believe. And but a few were they who believed with him.
Arabic
حتى إذا جاء أمرنا وفار التنور قلنا احمل فيها من كل زوجين اثنين وأهلك إلا من سبق عليه القول ومن آمن ۚ وما آمن معه إلا قليل
And it sailed with them amid waves like mountains, and Noah cried unto his son - and he was standing aloof - O my son! Come ride with us, and be not with the disbelievers.
Arabic
وهي تجري بهم في موج كالجبال ونادى نوح ابنه وكان في معزل يا بني اركب معنا ولا تكن مع الكافرين
He said: I shall betake me to some mountain that will save me from the water. (Noah) said: This day there is none that saveth from the commandment of Allah save him on whom He hath had mercy. And the wave came in between them, so he was among the drowned.
Arabic
قال سآوي إلى جبل يعصمني من الماء ۚ قال لا عاصم اليوم من أمر الله إلا من رحم ۚ وحال بينهما الموج فكان من المغرقين
And it was said: O earth! Swallow thy water and, O sky! be cleared of clouds! And the water was made to subside. And the commandment was fulfilled. And it (the ship) came to rest upon (the mount) Al - Judi and it was said: A far removal for wrongdoing folk!

It was said (unto him): O Noah! Go thou down (from the mountain) with peace from Us and blessings upon thee and some nations (that will spring) from those with thee. (There will be other) nations unto whom We shall give enjoyment a long while and then a painful doom from Us will overtake them.

قيل يا نوح اهبط بسلام منا وبركات عليك وعلى أمم ممن معك ۚ وأمم سنمتعهم ثم يمسهم منا عذاب أليم
This is of the tidings of the Unseen which We inspire in thee (Muhammad). Thou thyself knewest it not, nor did thy folk (know it) before this. Then have patience. Lo! the sequel is for those who ward off (evil).
