Faalzzajirati zajran
And those who read (the Word) for a reminder,

They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side,

Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment;
دُحُورًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ
Duhooran walahum AAathabun wasibun
Save him who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame.

Then ask them (O Muhammad): Are they stronger as a creation, or those (others) whom we have created ? Lo! We created them of plastic clay.
فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَا ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُم مِّن طِينٍ لَّازِبٍ

And heed not when they are reminded,
وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا لَا يَذْكُرُونَ

And seek to scoff when they behold a portent.
وَإِذَا رَأَوْا آيَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ
Waitha raaw ayatan yastaskhiroona
And they say: Lo! this is mere magic;

Waqaloo in hatha illa sihrun mubeenun
When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again) ?

Lo! thus deal We with the guilty.
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِينَ
Inna kathalika nafAAalu bialmujrimeena
For when it was said unto them, There is no God save Allah, they were scornful
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ
Innahum kanoo itha qeela lahum la ilaha illa Allahu yastakbiroona

Qala qailun minhum innee kana lee qareenun
Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words) ?
يَقُولُ أَإِنَّكَ لَمِنَ الْمُصَدِّقِينَ
Yaqoolu ainnaka lamina almusaddiqeena

Qala taAllahi in kidta laturdeeni
And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom).

Its crop is as it were the heads of devils
طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُ رُءُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ

And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى الْجَحِيمِ

They indeed found their fathers astray,
إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا آبَاءَهُمْ ضَالِّينَ

But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps.
فَهُمْ عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ

And verily most of the men of old went astray before them,
وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

إِذْ جَاءَ رَبَّهُ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ
Ith jaa rabbahu biqalbin saleemin
When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship ?
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ
Ith qala liabeehi waqawmihi matha taAAbudoona
Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire ?

Aifkan alihatan doona Allahi tureedoona
What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds ?

Fama thannukum birabbi alAAalameena
And he glanced a glance at the stars
فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِي النُّجُومِ
Fanathara nathratan fee alnnujoomi
Then said: Lo! I feel sick!
فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ
Faqala innee saqeemun
And they turned their backs and went away from him.
فَتَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ
Fatawallaw AAanhu mudbireena
Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat ?
فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰ آلِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ
Faragha ila alihatihim faqala ala takuloona
What aileth you that ye speak not ?
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand.
فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًا بِالْيَمِينِ
Faragha AAalayhim darban bialyameeni
And (his people) came toward him, hastening.
فَأَقْبَلُوا إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ

He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve
قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ
Qala ataAAbudoona ma tanhitoona
When Allah hath created you and what ye make ?
وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
WaAllahu khalaqakum wama taAAmaloona
They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red - hotfire.
قَالُوا ابْنُوا لَهُ بُنْيَانًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِي الْجَحِيمِ
Qaloo ibnoo lahu bunyanan faalqoohu fee aljaheemi
And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost.
فَأَرَادُوا بِهِ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الْأَسْفَلِينَ
Faaradoo bihi kaydan fajaAAalnahumu alasfaleena

وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ
Waqala innee thahibun ila rabbee sayahdeeni
My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous.

Rabbi hab lee mina alssaliheena
So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.
فَبَشَّرْنَاهُ بِغُلَامٍ حَلِيمٍ
Fabashsharnahu bighulamin haleemin
And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou ? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast.
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعْيَ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنِّي أَرَىٰ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أَذْبَحُكَ فَانظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِي إِن شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ

Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,
فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُ لِلْجَبِينِ
Falamma aslama watallahu liljabeeni
We called unto him: O Abraham!
وَنَادَيْنَاهُ أَن يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ
Wanadaynahu an ya ibraheemu
Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good.
قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ الرُّؤْيَا ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ

Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.
وَفَدَيْنَاهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ
Wafadaynahu bithibhin AAatheemin
And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation):

Peace be unto Abraham!
سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ

وَبَشَّرْنَاهُ بِإِسْحَاقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ الصَّالِحِينَ
Wabashsharnahu biishaqa nabiyyan mina alssaliheena
And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves.
وَبَارَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰ إِسْحَاقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِ مُبِينٌ
Wabarakna AAalayhi waAAala ishaqa wamin thurriyyatihima muhsinun wathalimun linafsihi mubeenun
And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron,
وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ
Walaqad mananna AAala moosa waharoona
And saved them and their people from the great distress,

Watarakna AAalayhima fee alakhireena
Peace be unto Moses and Aaron!
سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ

Innahuma min AAibadina almumineena
And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn),
وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wainna ilyasa lamina almursaleena
When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil) ?
إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
Ith qala liqawmihi ala tattaqoona
Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators,
أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ الْخَالِقِينَ
AtadAAoona baAAlan watatharoona ahsana alkhaliqeena
Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers ?

Allaha rabbakum warabba abaikumu alawwaleena
But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom)
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
Fakaththaboohu fainnahum lamuhdaroona
Save single - minded slaves of Allah.
إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ
Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena
And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ
Watarakna AAalayhi fee alakhireena
Peace be unto Elias!
سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ إِلْ يَاسِينَ
Salamun AAala il yaseena
Lo! thus do We reward the good.
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ
Inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena
Lo! he is one of our believing slaves.
إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Innahu min AAibadina almumineena
And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn).
وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَّمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wainna lootan lamina almursaleena
When We saved him and his household, every one,
إِذْ نَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ
Ith najjaynahu waahlahu ajmaAAeena
Save an old woman among those who stayed behind;
إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِينَ
Illa AAajoozan fee alghabireena
Then We destroyed the others.
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْآخَرِينَ
Thumma dammarna alakhareena
And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning
وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ
Wainnakum latamurroona AAalayhim musbiheena
And at night - time; have ye then no sense ?
وَبِاللَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
Wabiallayli afala taAAqiloona
And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn)
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wainna yoonusa lamina almursaleena
When he fled unto the laden ship,
إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ
Ith abaqa ila alfulki almashhooni
And then drew lots and was of those rejected;
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُدْحَضِينَ
Fasahama fakana mina almudhadeena
And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;
فَالْتَقَمَهُ الْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ
Failtaqamahu alhootu wahuwa muleemun
And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)
فَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُسَبِّحِينَ
Falawla annahu kana mina almusabbiheena
He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised;
لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطْنِهِ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
Lalabitha fee batnihi ila yawmi yubAAathoona
Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick;
۞ فَنَبَذْنَاهُ بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ
Fanabathnahu bialAAarai wahuwa saqeemun
And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him;
وَأَنبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ
Waanbatna AAalayhi shajaratan min yaqteenin
And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more
وَأَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَىٰ مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ
Waarsalnahu ila miati alfin aw yazeedoona
And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.
فَآمَنُوا فَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ
Faamanoo famattaAAnahum ila heenin
Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons ?
فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ الْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ الْبَنُونَ
Faistaftihim alirabbika albanatu walahumu albanoona
Or created We the angels females while they were present ?
أَمْ خَلَقْنَا الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِنَاثًا وَهُمْ شَاهِدُونَ
Am khalaqna almalaikata inathan wahum shahidoona
Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say:
أَلَا إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ
Ala innahum min ifkihim layaqooloona
Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie.
وَلَدَ اللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ
Walada Allahu wainnahum lakathiboona
(And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons.
أَصْطَفَى الْبَنَاتِ عَلَى الْبَنِينَ
Astafa albanati AAala albaneena
What aileth you ? How judge ye ?
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
Ma lakum kayfa tahkumoona
Will ye not then reflect ?
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Afala tathakkaroona
Or have ye a clear warrant ?
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَانٌ مُّبِينٌ
Am lakum sultanun mubeenun
Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful.
فَأْتُوا بِكِتَابِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
Fatoo bikitabikum in kuntum sadiqeena
And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).
وَجَعَلُوا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
WajaAAaloo baynahu wabayna aljinnati nasaban walaqad AAalimati aljinnatu innahum lamuhdaroona
Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him),
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Subhana Allahi AAamma yasifoona
Save single - minded slaves of Allah.
إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ
Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena
Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship,
فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ
Fainnakum wama taAAbudoona
Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him.
مَا أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِنِينَ
Ma antum AAalayhi bifatineena
Save him who is to burn in hell.
إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ الْجَحِيمِ
Illa man huwa sali aljaheemi
There is not one of us but hath his known position.
وَمَا مِنَّا إِلَّا لَهُ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ
Wama minna illa lahu maqamun maAAloomun
Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks,
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الصَّافُّونَ
Wainna lanahnu alssaffoona
Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْمُسَبِّحُونَ
Wainna lanahnu almusabbihoona
And indeed they used to say:
وَإِن كَانُوا لَيَقُولُونَ
Wain kanoo layaqooloona
If we had but a reminder from the men of old
لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ
Law anna AAindana thikran mina alawwaleena
We would be single - minded slaves of Allah.
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ
Lakunna AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena
Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.
فَكَفَرُوا بِهِ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Fakafaroo bihi fasawfa yaAAlamoona
And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا الْمُرْسَلِينَ
Walaqad sabaqat kalimatuna liAAibadina almursaleena
That they verily would be helped,
إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ الْمَنصُورُونَ
Innahum lahumu almansooroona
And that Our host, they verily would be the victors.
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ
Wainna jundana lahumu alghaliboona
So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile,
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
Fatawalla AAanhum hatta heenin
And watch, for they will (soon) see.
وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Waabsirhum fasawfa yubsiroona
Would they hasten on Our doom ?
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
AfabiAAathabina yastaAAjiloona
But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned.
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَاءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنذَرِينَ
Faitha nazala bisahatihim fasaa sabahu almunthareena
Withdraw from them awhile
وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
Watawalla AAanhum hatta heenin
And watch, for they will (soon) see.
وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Waabsir fasawfa yubsiroona
Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him)
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Subhana rabbika rabbi alAAizzati AAamma yasifoona
And peace be unto those sent (to warn).
وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wasalamun AAala almursaleena
And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!
وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
Waalhamdu lillahi rabbi alAAalameena
