Chapter 14, 52 verses
Alif. Lam. Ra. (This is) a Scripture which We have revealed unto thee (Muhammad) that thereby thou mayst bring forth mankind from darkness unto light, by the permission of their Lord, unto the path of the Mighty, the Owner of Praise,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الر ۚ كتاب أنزلناه إليك لتخرج الناس من الظلمات إلى النور بإذن ربهم إلى صراط العزيز الحميد
Allah, unto Whom belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. and woe unto the disbelievers from an awful doom;
الله الذي له ما في السماوات وما في الأرض ۗ وويل للكافرين من عذاب شديد
Those who love the life of the world more than the Hereafter, and debar (men) from the way of Allah and would have it crooked: such are far astray.
الذين يستحبون الحياة الدنيا على الآخرة ويصدون عن سبيل الله ويبغونها عوجا ۚ أولئك في ضلال بعيد
And We never sent a messenger save with the language of his folk, that he might make (the message) clear for them. Then Allah sendeth whom He will astray, and guideth whom He will. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
وما أرسلنا من رسول إلا بلسان قومه ليبين لهم ۖ فيضل الله من يشاء ويهدي من يشاء ۚ وهو العزيز الحكيم
We verily sent Moses with Our revelations, saying: Bring thy people forth from darkness unto light. And remind them of the days of Allah. Lo! therein are revelations for each steadfast, thankful (heart).
ولقد أرسلنا موسى بآياتنا أن أخرج قومك من الظلمات إلى النور وذكرهم بأيام الله ۚ إن في ذلك لآيات لكل صبار شكور
And (remind them) how Moses said unto his people: Remember Allah's favour unto you when He delivered you from Pharaoh's folk who were afflicting you with dreadful torment, and were slaying your sons and sparing your women; that was a tremendous trial from your Lord.
وإذ قال موسى لقومه اذكروا نعمة الله عليكم إذ أنجاكم من آل فرعون يسومونكم سوء العذاب ويذبحون أبناءكم ويستحيون نساءكم ۚ وفي ذلكم بلاء من ربكم عظيم
And when your Lord proclaimed: If ye give thanks, I will give you more; but if ye are thankless, lo! My punishment is dire.
وإذ تأذن ربكم لئن شكرتم لأزيدنكم ۖ ولئن كفرتم إن عذابي لشديد
And Moses said: Though ye and all who are in the earth prove thankless, lo! Allah verily is Absolute, Owner of Praise.
وقال موسى إن تكفروا أنتم ومن في الأرض جميعا فإن الله لغني حميد
Hath not the history of those before you reached you: the folk of Noah, and (the tribes of) A'ad and Thamud, and those after them ? None save Allah knoweth them. Their messengers came unto them with clear proofs, but they thrust their hands into their mouths, and said: Lo! we disbelieve in that wherewith ye have been sent, and lo! we are in grave doubt concerning that to which ye call us.
ألم يأتكم نبأ الذين من قبلكم قوم نوح وعاد وثمود ۛ والذين من بعدهم ۛ لا يعلمهم إلا الله ۚ جاءتهم رسلهم بالبينات فردوا أيديهم في أفواههم وقالوا إنا كفرنا بما أرسلتم به وإنا لفي شك مما تدعوننا إليه مريب
Their messengers said: Can there be doubt concerning Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth ? He calleth you that He may forgive you your sins and reprieve you unto an appointed term. They said: Ye are but mortals like us, who would fain turn us away from what our fathers used to worship. Then bring some clear warrant.
۞ قالت رسلهم أفي الله شك فاطر السماوات والأرض ۖ يدعوكم ليغفر لكم من ذنوبكم ويؤخركم إلى أجل مسمى ۚ قالوا إن أنتم إلا بشر مثلنا تريدون أن تصدونا عما كان يعبد آباؤنا فأتونا بسلطان مبين
Their messengers said unto them: We are but mortals like you, but Allah giveth grace unto whom He will of His slaves. It is not ours to bring you a warrant unless by the permission of Allah. In Allah let believers put their trust!
قالت لهم رسلهم إن نحن إلا بشر مثلكم ولكن الله يمن على من يشاء من عباده ۖ وما كان لنا أن نأتيكم بسلطان إلا بإذن الله ۚ وعلى الله فليتوكل المؤمنون
How should we not put our trust in Allah when He hath shown us our ways ? We surely will endure the hurt ye do us. In Allah let the trusting put their trust.
وما لنا ألا نتوكل على الله وقد هدانا سبلنا ۚ ولنصبرن على ما آذيتمونا ۚ وعلى الله فليتوكل المتوكلون
And those who disbelieved said unto their messengers: Verily we will drive you out from our land, unless ye return to our religion. Then their Lord inspired them, (saying): Verily we shall destroy the wrong - doers,
وقال الذين كفروا لرسلهم لنخرجنكم من أرضنا أو لتعودن في ملتنا ۖ فأوحى إليهم ربهم لنهلكن الظالمين
And verily We shall make you to dwell in the land after them. This is for him who feareth My Majesty and feareth My threats.
ولنسكننكم الأرض من بعدهم ۚ ذلك لمن خاف مقامي وخاف وعيد
And they sought help (from their Lord) and every froward potentate was bought to naught;
واستفتحوا وخاب كل جبار عنيد
Hell is before him, and he is made to drink a festering water,
من ورائه جهنم ويسقى من ماء صديد
Which he sippeth but can hardly swallow, and death cometh unto him from every side while yet he cannot die, and before him is a harsh doom.
يتجرعه ولا يكاد يسيغه ويأتيه الموت من كل مكان وما هو بميت ۖ ومن ورائه عذاب غليظ
A similitude of those who disbelieve in their Lord: Their works are as ashes which the wind bloweth hard upon a stormy day. They have no control of aught that they have earned. That is the extreme failure.
مثل الذين كفروا بربهم ۖ أعمالهم كرماد اشتدت به الريح في يوم عاصف ۖ لا يقدرون مما كسبوا على شيء ۚ ذلك هو الضلال البعيد
Hast thou not seen that Allah hath created the heavens and the earth with truth ? If He will, He can remove you and bring (in) some new creation;
ألم تر أن الله خلق السماوات والأرض بالحق ۚ إن يشأ يذهبكم ويأت بخلق جديد
And that is no great matter for Allah.
وما ذلك على الله بعزيز
They all come forth unto their Lord. Then those who were despised say unto those who were scornful: We were unto you a following, can ye then avert from us aught of Allah's doom ? They say: Had Allah guided us, we should have guided you. Whether we rage or patiently endure is (now) all one for us; we have no place of refuge.
وبرزوا لله جميعا فقال الضعفاء للذين استكبروا إنا كنا لكم تبعا فهل أنتم مغنون عنا من عذاب الله من شيء ۚ قالوا لو هدانا الله لهديناكم ۖ سواء علينا أجزعنا أم صبرنا ما لنا من محيص
And Satan saith, when the matter hath been decided: Lo! Allah promised you a promise of truth; and I promised you, then failed you. And I had no power over you save that I called unto you and ye obeyed me. So blame not, but blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can ye help me, Lo! I disbelieved in that which ye before ascribed to me. Lo! for wrong - doers is a painful doom.
وقال الشيطان لما قضي الأمر إن الله وعدكم وعد الحق ووعدتكم فأخلفتكم ۖ وما كان لي عليكم من سلطان إلا أن دعوتكم فاستجبتم لي ۖ فلا تلوموني ولوموا أنفسكم ۖ ما أنا بمصرخكم وما أنتم بمصرخي ۖ إني كفرت بما أشركتمون من قبل ۗ إن الظالمين لهم عذاب أليم
And those who believed and did good works are made to enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow, therein abiding by permission of their Lord, their greeting therein: Peace!
وأدخل الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار خالدين فيها بإذن ربهم ۖ تحيتهم فيها سلام
Seest thou not how Allah coineth a similitude: A goodly saying, as a goodly tree, its root set firm, its branches reaching into heaven,
ألم تر كيف ضرب الله مثلا كلمة طيبة كشجرة طيبة أصلها ثابت وفرعها في السماء
Giving its fruit at every season by permission of its Lord ? Allah coineth the similitudes for mankind in order that they may reflect.
تؤتي أكلها كل حين بإذن ربها ۗ ويضرب الله الأمثال للناس لعلهم يتذكرون
And the similitude of a bad saying is as a bad tree, uprooted from upon the earth, possessing no stability.
ومثل كلمة خبيثة كشجرة خبيثة اجتثت من فوق الأرض ما لها من قرار
Allah confirmeth those who believe by a firm saying in the life of the world and in the Hereafter, and Allah sendeth wrong - doers astray. And Allah doeth what He will.
يثبت الله الذين آمنوا بالقول الثابت في الحياة الدنيا وفي الآخرة ۖ ويضل الله الظالمين ۚ ويفعل الله ما يشاء
Hast thou not seen those who gave the grace of Allah in exchange for thanklessness and led their people down to the Abode of Loss,
۞ ألم تر إلى الذين بدلوا نعمت الله كفرا وأحلوا قومهم دار البوار
(Even to) hell ? They are exposed thereto. A hapless end!
جهنم يصلونها ۖ وبئس القرار
And they set up rivals to Allah that they may mislead (men) from His way. Say: Enjoy life (while ye may) for lo! your journey's end will be the Fire.
وجعلوا لله أندادا ليضلوا عن سبيله ۗ قل تمتعوا فإن مصيركم إلى النار
Tell My bondmen who believe to establish worship and spend of that which We have given them, secretly and publicly, before a day cometh wherein there will be neither traffick nor befriending.
قل لعبادي الذين آمنوا يقيموا الصلاة وينفقوا مما رزقناهم سرا وعلانية من قبل أن يأتي يوم لا بيع فيه ولا خلال
Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth, and causeth water to descend from the sky, thereby producing fruits as food for you, and maketh the ships to be of service unto you, that they may run upon the sea at His command, and hath made of service unto you the rivers;
الله الذي خلق السماوات والأرض وأنزل من السماء ماء فأخرج به من الثمرات رزقا لكم ۖ وسخر لكم الفلك لتجري في البحر بأمره ۖ وسخر لكم الأنهار
And maketh the sun and the moon, constant in their courses, to be of service unto you, and hath made of service unto you the night and the day.
وسخر لكم الشمس والقمر دائبين ۖ وسخر لكم الليل والنهار
And He giveth you of all ye ask of Him, and if ye would count the bounty of Allah ye cannot reckon it. Lo! man is verily a wrong - doer, an ingrate.
وآتاكم من كل ما سألتموه ۚ وإن تعدوا نعمت الله لا تحصوها ۗ إن الإنسان لظلوم كفار
And when Abraham said: My Lord! Make safe this territory, and preserve me and my sons from serving idols.
وإذ قال إبراهيم رب اجعل هذا البلد آمنا واجنبني وبني أن نعبد الأصنام
My Lord! Lo! they have led many of mankind astray. But whoso followeth me, he verily is of me. And whoso disobeyeth me - Still Thou art Forgiving, Merciful.
رب إنهن أضللن كثيرا من الناس ۖ فمن تبعني فإنه مني ۖ ومن عصاني فإنك غفور رحيم
Our Lord! Lo! I have settled some of my posterity in an uncultivable valley near unto Thy holy House, our Lord! that they may establish proper worship; so incline some hearts of men that they may yearn toward them, and provide Thou them with fruits in order that they may be thankful.
ربنا إني أسكنت من ذريتي بواد غير ذي زرع عند بيتك المحرم ربنا ليقيموا الصلاة فاجعل أفئدة من الناس تهوي إليهم وارزقهم من الثمرات لعلهم يشكرون
Our Lord! Lo! Thou knowest that which we hide and that which we proclaim. Nothing in the earth or in the heaven is hidden from Allah.
ربنا إنك تعلم ما نخفي وما نعلن ۗ وما يخفى على الله من شيء في الأرض ولا في السماء
Praise be to Allah Who hath given me, in my old age, Ishmael and Isaac! Lo! my Lord is indeed the Hearer of Prayer.
الحمد لله الذي وهب لي على الكبر إسماعيل وإسحاق ۚ إن ربي لسميع الدعاء
My Lord! Make me to establish proper worship, and some of my posterity (also); our Lord! and accept my prayer.
رب اجعلني مقيم الصلاة ومن ذريتي ۚ ربنا وتقبل دعاء
Our Lord! Forgive me and my parents and believers on the day when the account is cast.
ربنا اغفر لي ولوالدي وللمؤمنين يوم يقوم الحساب
Deem not that Allah is unaware of what the wicked do. He but giveth them a respite till a day when eyes will stare (in terror),
ولا تحسبن الله غافلا عما يعمل الظالمون ۚ إنما يؤخرهم ليوم تشخص فيه الأبصار
As they come hurrying on in fear, their heads upraised, their gaze returning not to them, and their hearts as air.
مهطعين مقنعي رءوسهم لا يرتد إليهم طرفهم ۖ وأفئدتهم هواء
And warn mankind of a day when the doom will come upon them, and those who did wrong will say: Our Lord! Reprieve us for a little while. We will obey Thy call and will follow the messengers. (It will be answered): Did ye not swear before that there would be no end for you ?
وأنذر الناس يوم يأتيهم العذاب فيقول الذين ظلموا ربنا أخرنا إلى أجل قريب نجب دعوتك ونتبع الرسل ۗ أولم تكونوا أقسمتم من قبل ما لكم من زوال
And (have ye not) dwelt in the dwellings of those who wronged themselves (of old) and (hath it not) become plain to you how We dealt with them and made examples for you ?
وسكنتم في مساكن الذين ظلموا أنفسهم وتبين لكم كيف فعلنا بهم وضربنا لكم الأمثال
Verily they have plotted their plot, and their plot is with Allah, though their plot were one whereby the mountains should be moved.
وقد مكروا مكرهم وعند الله مكرهم وإن كان مكرهم لتزول منه الجبال
So think not that Allah will fail to keep His promise to His messengers. Lo! Allah is Mighty, Able to Requite (the wrong).
فلا تحسبن الله مخلف وعده رسله ۗ إن الله عزيز ذو انتقام
On the day when the earth will be changed to other than the earth, and the heavens (also will be changed) and they will come forth unto Allah, the One, the Almighty,
يوم تبدل الأرض غير الأرض والسماوات ۖ وبرزوا لله الواحد القهار
Thou wilt see the guilty on that day linked together in chains,
وترى المجرمين يومئذ مقرنين في الأصفاد
Their raiment of pitch, and the Fire covering their faces,
سرابيلهم من قطران وتغشى وجوههم النار
That Allah may repay each soul what it hath earned. Lo! Allah is swift at reckoning.
ليجزي الله كل نفس ما كسبت ۚ إن الله سريع الحساب
This is a clear message for mankind in order that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is only One God, and that men of understanding may take heed.
هذا بلاغ للناس ولينذروا به وليعلموا أنما هو إله واحد وليذكر أولو الألباب
