Al Furqan

1 Blessed is He Who sent down the Furqan upon His servant that he may be a warner to the nations;

1 Tabaraka allathee nazzala alfurqana AAala AAabdihi liyakoona lilAAalameena natheeran

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Blessed is He Who hath revealed unto His slave the Criterion (of right and wrong), that he may be a warner to the peoples.

2 He, Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and Who did not take to Himself a son, and Who has no associate in the kingdom, and Who created everything, then ordained for it a measure.

2 Allathee lahu mulku alssamawati waalardi walam yattakhith waladan walam yakun lahu shareekun fee almulki wakhalaqa kulla shayin faqaddarahu taqdeeran

2 He unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, He hath chosen no son nor hath He any partner in the Sovereignty. He hath created everything and hath meted out for it a measure.

3 And they have taken besides Him gods, who do not create anything while they are themselves created, and they control not for themselves any harm or profit, and they control not death nor life, nor raising (the dead) to life.

3 Waittakhathoo min doonihi alihatan la yakhluqoona shayan wahum yukhlaqoona wala yamlikoona lianfusihim darran wala nafAAan wala yamlikoona mawtan wala hayatan wala nushooran

3 Yet they choose beside Him other gods who create naught but are themselves created, and possess not hurt nor profit for themselves, and possess not death nor life, nor power to raise the dead.

4 And those who disbelieve say: This is nothing but a lie which he has forged, and other people have helped him at it; so indeed they have done injustice and (uttered) a falsehood.

4 Waqala allatheena kafaroo in hatha illa ifkun iftarahu waaAAanahu AAalayhi qawmun akharoona faqad jaoo thulman wazooran

4 Those who disbelieve say: This is naught but a lie that he hath invented, and other folk have helped him with it, so that they have produced a slander and a lie.

5 And they say: The stories of the ancients - - he has got them written - - so these are read out to him morning and evening.

5 Waqaloo asateeru alawwaleena iktatabaha fahiya tumla AAalayhi bukratan waaseelan

5 And they say: Fables of the men of old which he hath had written down so that they are dictated to him morn and evening.

6 Say: He has revealed it Who knows the secret in the heavens and the earth; surely He is ever Forgiving, Merciful.

6 Qul anzalahu allathee yaAAlamu alssirra fee alssamawati waalardi innahu kana ghafooran raheeman

6 Say (unto them, O Muhammad): He who knoweth the secret of the heavens and the earth hath revealed it. Lo! He ever is Forgiving, Merciful.

7 And they say: What is the matter with this Apostle that he eats food and goes about in the markets; why has not an angel been sent down to him, so that he should have been a warner with him?

7 Waqaloo mali hatha alrrasooli yakulu alttaAAama wayamshee fee alaswaqi lawla onzila ilayhi malakun fayakoona maAAahu natheeran

7 And they say: What aileth this messenger (of Allah) that he eateth food and walketh in the markets ? Why is not an angel sent down unto him, to be a warner with him.

8 Or (why is not) a treasure sent down to him, or he is made to have a garden from which he should eat? And the unjust say: You do not follow any but a man deprived of reason.

8 Aw yulqa ilayhi kanzun aw takoonu lahu jannatun yakulu minha waqala alththalimoona in tattabiAAoona illa rajulan mashooran

8 Or (why is not) treasure thrown down unto him, or why hath he not a paradise from whence to eat ? And the evil - doers say: Ye are but following a man bewitched.

9 See what likenesses do they apply to you, so they have gone astray, therefore they shall not be able to find a way.

9 Onthur kayfa daraboo laka alamthala fadalloo fala yastateeAAoona sabeelan

9 See how they coin similitudes for thee, so that they are all astray and cannot find a road!

10 Blessed is He Who, if He please, will give you what is better than this, gardens beneath which rivers flow, and He will give you palaces.

10 Tabaraka allathee in shaa jaAAala laka khayran min thalika jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu wayajAAal laka qusooran

10 Blessed is He Who, if He will, will assign thee better than (all) that - Gardens underneath which rivers flow - and will assign thee mansions.

11 But they reject the hour, and We have prepared a burning fire for him who rejects the hour.

11 Bal kaththaboo bialssaAAati waaAAtadna liman kaththaba bialssaAAati saAAeeran

11 Nay, but they deny (the coming of) the Hour, and for those who deny (the coming of) the Hour We have prepared a flame.

12 When it shall come into their sight from a distant place, they shall hear its vehement raging and roaring.

12 Itha raathum min makanin baAAeedin samiAAoo laha taghayyuthan wazafeeran

12 When it seeth them from afar, they hear the crackling and the roar thereof.

13 And when they are cast into a narrow place in it, bound, they shall there call out for destruction.

13 Waitha olqoo minha makanan dayyiqan muqarraneena daAAaw hunalika thubooran

13 And when they are flung into a narrow place thereof, chained together, they pray for destruction there.

14 Call not this day for one destruction, but call for destructions many.

14 La tadAAoo alyawma thubooran wahidan waodAAoo thubooran katheeran

14 Pray not that day for one destruction, but pray for many destructions!

15 Say: Is this better or the abiding garden which those who guard (against evil) are promised? That shall be a reward and a resort for them.

15 Qul athalika khayrun am jannatu alkhuldi allatee wuAAida almuttaqoona kanat lahum jazaan wamaseeran

15 Say: Is that (doom) better or the Garden of Immortality which is promised unto those who ward off (evil) ? It will be their reward and journey's end.

16 They shall have therein what they desire abiding (in it); it is a promise which it is proper to be prayed for from your Lord.

16 Lahum feeha ma yashaoona khalideena kana AAala rabbika waAAdan masoolan

16 Therein abiding, they have all that they desire. It is for thy Lord a promise that must be fulfilled.

17 And on the day when He shall gather them, and whatever they served besides Allah, He shall say: Was it you who led astray these My servants, or did they themselves go astray from the path?

17 Wayawma yahshuruhum wama yaAAbudoona min dooni Allahi fayaqoolu aantum adlaltum AAibadee haolai am hum dalloo alssabeela

17 And on the day when He will assemble them and that which they worship instead of Allah and will say: Was it ye who misled these my slaves or did they (themselves) wander from the way ?

18 They shall say: Glory be to Thee; it was not beseeming for us that we should take any guardians besides Thee, but Thou didst make them and their fathers to enjoy until they forsook the reminder, and they were a people in perdition,

18 Qaloo subhanaka ma kana yanbaghee lana an nattakhitha min doonika min awliyaa walakin mattaAAtahum waabaahum hatta nasoo alththikra wakanoo qawman booran

18 They will say: Be Thou Glorified! it was not for us to choose any protecting friends beside thee; but Thou didst give them and their fathers ease till they forgot the warning and became lost folk.

19 So they shall indeed give you the lie in what you say, then you shall not be able to ward off or help, and whoever among you is unjust, We will make him taste a great chastisement.

19 Faqad kaththabookum bima taqooloona fama tastateeAAoona sarfan wala nasran waman yathlim minkum nuthiqhu AAathaban kabeeran

19 Thus they will give you the lie regarding what ye say, then ye can neither avert (the doom) nor obtain help. And whoso among you doeth wrong, We shall make him taste great torment.

20 And We have not sent before you any apostles but they most surely ate food and went about in the markets; and We have made some of you a trial for others; will you bear patiently? And your Lord is ever Seeing.

20 Wama arsalna qablaka mina almursaleena illa innahum layakuloona alttaAAama wayamshoona fee alaswaqi wajaAAalna baAAdakum libaAAdin fitnatan atasbiroona wakana rabbuka baseeran

20 We never sent before thee any messengers but lo! they verily ate food and walked in the markets. And We have appointed some of you a test for others: Will ye be steadfast ? And thy Lord is ever Seer.

21 And those who do not hope for Our meeting, say: Why have not angels been sent down upon us, or (why) do we not see our Lord? Now certainly they are too proud of themselves and have revolted in great revolt.

21 Waqala allatheena la yarjoona liqaana lawla onzila AAalayna almalaikatu aw nara rabbana laqadi istakbaroo fee anfusihim waAAataw AAutuwwan kabeeran

21 And those who look not for a meeting with Us say: Why are angels not sent down unto us and (Why) do we not see our Lord! Assuredly they think too highly of themselves and are scornful with great pride.

22 On the day when they shall see the angels, there shall be no joy on that day for the guilty, and they shall say: It is a forbidden thing totally prohibited.

22 Yawma yarawna almalaikata la bushra yawmaithin lilmujrimeena wayaqooloona hijran mahjooran

22 On the day when they behold the angels, on that day there will be no good tidings for the guilty; and they will cry: A forbidding ban!

23 And We will proceed to what they have done of deeds, so We shall render them as scattered floating dust.

23 Waqadimna ila ma AAamiloo min AAamalin fajaAAalnahu habaan manthooran

23 And We shall turn unto the work they did and make it scattered motes.

24 The dwellers of the garden shall on that day be in a better abiding - place and a better resting - place.

24 Ashabu aljannati yawmaithin khayrun mustaqarran waahsanu maqeelan

24 Those who have earned the Garden on that day will be better in their home and happier in their place of noonday rest;

25 And on the day when the heaven shall burst asunder with the clouds, and the angels shall be sent down descending (in ranks).

25 Wayawma tashaqqaqu alssamao bialghamami wanuzzila almalaikatu tanzeelan

25 A day when the heaven with the clouds will be rent asunder and the angels will be sent down, a grand descent.

26 The kingdom on that day shall rightly belong to the Beneficent Allah, and a hard day shall it be for the unbelievers.

26 Almulku yawmaithin alhaqqu lilrrahmani wakana yawman AAala alkafireena AAaseeran

26 The Sovereignty on that day will be the True (Sovereignty) belonging to the Beneficent One, and it will be a hard day for disbelievers.

27 And the day when the unjust one shall bite his hands saying: O! would that I had taken a way with the Apostle

27 Wayawma yaAAaddu alththalimu AAala yadayhi yaqoolu ya laytanee ittakhathtu maAAa alrrasooli sabeelan

27 On the day when the wrong - doer gnaweth his hands, he will say: Ah, would that I had chosen a way together with the messenger (of Allah)!

28 O woe is me! would that I had not taken such a one for a friend!

28 Ya waylata laytanee lam attakhith fulanan khaleelan

28 Alas for me! Ah, would that I had never taken such an one for friend!

29 Certainly he led me astray from the reminder after it had come to me; and the Shaitan fails to aid man.

29 Laqad adallanee AAani alththikri baAAda ith jaanee wakana alshshaytanu lilinsani khathoolan

29 He verily led me astray from the Reminder after it had reached me. Satan was ever man's deserter in the hour of need.

30 And the Apostle cried out: O my Lord! surely my people have treated this Quran as a forsaken thing.

30 Waqala alrrasoolu ya rabbi inna qawmee ittakhathoo hatha alqurana mahjooran

30 And the messenger saith: O my Lord! Lo! mine own folk make this Qur'an of no account.

31 And thus have We made for every prophet an enemy from among the sinners and sufficient is your Lord as a Guide and a Helper.

31 Wakathalika jaAAalna likulli nabiyyin AAaduwwan mina almujrimeena wakafa birabbika hadiyan wanaseeran

31 Even so have We appointed unto every prophet an opponent from among the guilty; but Allah sufficeth for a Guide and Helper.

32 And those who disbelieve say: Why has not the Quran been revealed to him all at once? Thus, that We may strengthen your heart by it and We have arranged it well in arranging.

32 Waqala allatheena kafaroo lawla nuzzila AAalayhi alquranu jumlatan wahidatan kathalika linuthabbita bihi fuadaka warattalnahu tarteelan

32 And those who disbelieve say: Why is the Qur'an not revealed unto him all at once ? (It is revealed) thus that We may strengthen thy heart therewith; and We have arranged it in right order.

33 And they shall not bring to you any argument, but We have brought to you (one) with truth and best in significance.

33 Wala yatoonaka bimathalin illa jinaka bialhaqqi waahsana tafseeran

33 And they bring thee no similitude but We bring thee the Truth (as against it), and better (than their similitude) as argument.

34 (As for) those who shall be gathered upon their faces to hell, they are in a worse plight and straying farther away from the path.

34 Allatheena yuhsharoona AAala wujoohihim ila jahannama olaika sharrun makanan waadallu sabeelan

34 Those who will be gathered on their faces unto hell: such are worse in plight and further from the right road.

35 And certainly We gave Musa the Book and We appointed with him his brother Haroun an aider.

35 Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba wajaAAalna maAAahu akhahu haroona wazeeran

35 We verily gave Moses the Scripture and placed with him his brother Aaron as henchman.

36 Then We said: Go you both to the people who rejected Our communications; so We destroyed them with utter destruction.

36 Faqulna ithhaba ila alqawmi allatheena kaththaboo biayatina fadammarnahum tadmeeran

36 Then We said: Go together unto the folk who have denied Our revelations. Then We destroyed them, a complete destruction.

37 And the people of Nuh, when they rejected the apostles, We drowned them, and made them a sign for men, and We have prepared a painful punishment for the unjust;

37 Waqawma noohin lamma kaththaboo alrrusula aghraqnahum wajaAAalnahum lilnnasi ayatan waaAAtadna lilththalimeena AAathaban aleeman

37 And Noah's folk, when they denied the messengers, We drowned them and made of them a portent for mankind. We have prepared a painful doom for evil - doers.

38 And Ad and Samood and the dwellers of the Rass and many generations between them.

38 WaAAadan wathamooda waashaba alrrassi waquroonan bayna thalika katheeran

38 And (the tribes of) A'ad and Thamud, and the dwellers in Ar - Rass, and many generations in between.

39 And to every one We gave examples and every one did We destroy with utter destruction.

39 Wakullan darabna lahu alamthala wakullan tabbarna tatbeeran

39 Each (of them) We warned by examples, and each (of them) We brought to utter ruin.

40 And certainly they have (often) passed by the town on which was rained an evil rain; did they not then see it? Nay! they did not hope to be raised again.

40 Walaqad ataw AAala alqaryati allatee omtirat matara alssawi afalam yakoonoo yarawnaha bal kanoo la yarjoona nushooran

40 And indeed they have passed by the township whereon was rained the fatal rain. Can it be that they have not seen it ? Nay, but they hope for no resurrection.

41 And when they see you, they do not take you for aught but a mockery: Is this he whom Allah has raised to be an apostle?

41 Waitha raawka in yattakhithoonaka illa huzuwan ahatha allathee baAAatha Allahu rasoolan

41 And when they see thee (O Muhammad) they treat thee only as a jest (saying): Is this he whom Allah sendeth as a messenger ?

42 He had well - nigh led us astray from our gods had we not adhered to them patiently! And they will know, when they see the punishment, who is straying farther off from the path.

42 In kada layudilluna AAan alihatina lawla an sabarna AAalayha wasawfa yaAAlamoona heena yarawna alAAathaba man adallu sabeelan

42 He would have led us far away from our gods if we had not been staunch to them. They will know, when they behold the doom, who is more astray as to the road.

43 Have you seen him who takes his low desires for his god? Will you then be a protector over him?

43 Araayta mani ittakhatha ilahahu hawahu afaanta takoonu AAalayhi wakeelan

43 Hast thou seen him who chooseth for his god his own lust ? Wouldst thou then be guardian over him ?

44 Or do you think that most of them do hear or understand? They are nothing but as cattle; nay, they are straying farther off from the path.

44 Am tahsabu anna aktharahum yasmaAAoona aw yaAAqiloona in hum illa kaalanAAami bal hum adallu sabeelan

44 Or deemest thou that most of them hear or understand ? They are but as the cattle - nay, but they are farther astray ?

45 Have you not considered (the work of) your Lord, how He extends the shade? And if He had pleased He would certainly have made it stationary; then We have made the sun an indication of it

45 Alam tara ila rabbika kayfa madda alththilla walaw shaa lajaAAalahu sakinan thumma jaAAalna alshshamsa AAalayhi daleelan

45 Hast thou not seen how thy Lord hath spread the shade - And if He willed He could have made it still - then We have made the sun its pilot;

46 Then We take it to Ourselves, taking little by little.

46 Thumma qabadnahu ilayna qabdan yaseeran

46 Then We withdraw it unto Us, a gradual withdrawal ?

47 And He it is Who made the night a covering for you, and the sleep a rest, and He made the day to rise up again.

47 Wahuwa allathee jaAAala lakumu allayla libasan waalnnawma subatan wajaAAala alnnahara nushooran

47 And He it is Who maketh night a covering for you, and sleep repose, and maketh day a resurrection.

48 And He it is Who sends the winds as good news before His mercy; and We send down pure water from the cloud,

48 Wahuwa allathee arsala alrriyaha bushran bayna yaday rahmatihi waanzalna mina alssamai maan tahooran

48 And He it is Who sendeth the winds, glad tidings heralding His mercy, and We send down purifying water from the sky,

49 That We may give life thereby to a dead land and give it for drink, out of what We have created, to cattle and many people.

49 Linuhyiya bihi baldatan maytan wanusqiyahu mimma khalaqna anAAaman waanasiyya katheeran

49 That We may give life thereby to a dead land, and We give many beasts and men that We have created to drink thereof.

50 And certainly We have repeated this to them that they may be mindful, but the greater number of men do not consent to aught except denying.

50 Walaqad sarrafnahu baynahum liyaththakkaroo faaba aktharu alnnasi illa kufooran

50 And verily We have repeated it among them that they may remember, but most of mankind begrudge aught save ingratitude.

51 And if We had pleased We would certainly have raised a warner in every town.

51 Walaw shina labaAAathna fee kulli qaryatin natheeran

51 If We willed, We could raise up a warner in every village.

52 So do not follow the unbelievers, and strive against them a mighty striving with it.

52 Fala tutiAAi alkafireena wajahidhum bihi jihadan kabeeran

52 So obey not the disbelievers, but strive against them herewith with a great endeavour.

53 And He it is Who has made two seas to flow freely, the one sweet that subdues thirst by its sweetness, and the other salt that burns by its saltness; and between the two He has made a barrier and inviolable obstruction.

53 Wahuwa allathee maraja albahrayni hatha AAathbun furatun wahatha milhun ojajun wajaAAala baynahuma barzakhan wahijran mahjooran

53 And He it is Who hath given independence to the two seas (though they meet); one palatable, sweet, and the other saltish, bitter; and hath set a bar and a forbidding ban between them.

54 And He it is Who has created man from the water, then He has made for him blood relationship and marriage relationship, and your Lord is powerful.

54 Wahuwa allathee khalaqa mina almai basharan fajaAAalahu nasaban wasihran wakana rabbuka qadeeran

54 And He it is Who hath created man from water, and hath appointed for him kindred by blood and kindred by marriage; for thy Lord is ever Powerful.

55 And they serve besides Allah that which neither profits them nor causes them harm; and the unbeliever is a partisan against his Lord.

55 WayaAAbudoona min dooni Allahi ma la yanfaAAuhum wala yadurruhum wakana alkafiru AAala rabbihi thaheeran

55 Yet they worship instead of Allah that which can neither benefit them nor hurt them. The disbeliever was ever a partisan against his Lord.

56 And We have not sent you but as a giver of good news and as a warner.

56 Wama arsalnaka illa mubashshiran wanatheeran

56 And We have sent thee (O Muhammad) only as a bearer of good tidings and a warner.

57 Say: I do not ask you aught in return except that he who will, may take the way to his Lord.

57 Qul ma asalukum AAalayhi min ajrin illa man shaa an yattakhitha ila rabbihi sabeelan

57 Say: I ask of you no reward for this, save that whoso will may choose a way unto his Lord.

58 And rely on the Ever - living Who dies not, and celebrate His praise; and Sufficient is He as being aware of the faults of His servants,

58 Watawakkal AAala alhayyi allathee la yamootu wasabbih bihamdihi wakafa bihi bithunoobi AAibadihi khabeeran

58 And trust thou in the Living One Who dieth not, and hymn His praise. He sufficeth as the Knower of His bondmen's sins,

59 Who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six periods, and He is firmly established on the throne of authority; the Beneficent Allah, so ask respecting it one aware.

59 Allathee khalaqa alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma fee sittati ayyamin thumma istawa AAala alAAarshi alrrahmanu faisal bihi khabeeran

59 Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six Days, then He mounted the Throne. The Beneficent! Ask anyone informed concerning Him!

60 And when it is said to them: Prostrate to the Beneficent Allah, they say: And what is the Allah of beneficence? Shall we prostrate to what you bid us? And it adds to their aversion.

60 Waitha qeela lahumu osjudoo lilrrahmani qaloo wama alrrahmanu anasjudu lima tamuruna wazadahum nufooran

60 And when it is said unto them: Adore the Beneficent! they say: And what is the Beneficent ? Are we to adore whatever thou (Muhammad) biddest us ? And it increaseth aversion in them.

61 Blessed is He Who made the constellations in the heavens and made therein a lamp and a shining moon.

61 Tabaraka allathee jaAAala fee alssamai buroojan wajaAAala feeha sirajan waqamaran muneeran

61 Blessed be He Who hath placed in the heaven mansions of the stars, and hath placed therein a great lamp and a moon giving light!

62 And He it is Who made the night and the day to follow each other for him who desires to be mindful or desires to be thankful.

62 Wahuwa allathee jaAAala allayla waalnnahara khilfatan liman arada an yaththakkara aw arada shukooran

62 And He it is Who hath appointed night and day in succession, for him who desireth to remember, or desireth thankfulness.

63 And the servants of the Beneficent Allah are they who walk on the earth in humbleness, and when the ignorant address them, they say: Peace.

63 WaAAibadu alrrahmani allatheena yamshoona AAala alardi hawnan waitha khatabahumu aljahiloona qaloo salaman

63 The (faithful) slaves of the Beneficent are they who walk upon the earth modestly, and when the foolish ones address them answer: Peace;

64 And they who pass the night prostrating themselves before their Lord and standing.

64 Waallatheena yabeetoona lirabbihim sujjadan waqiyaman

64 And who spend the night before their Lord, prostrate and standing,

65 And they who say: O our Lord! turn away from us the punishment of hell, surely the punishment thereof is a lasting

65 Waallatheena yaqooloona rabbana isrif AAanna AAathaba jahannama inna AAathabaha kana gharaman

65 And who say: Our Lord! Avert from us the doom of hell; lo! the doom thereof is anguish;

66 Surely it is an evil abode and (evil) place to stay.

66 Innaha saat mustaqarran wamuqaman

66 Lo! it is wretched as abode and station;

67 And they who when they spend, are neither extravagant nor parsimonious, and (keep) between these the just mean.

67 Waallatheena itha anfaqoo lam yusrifoo walam yaqturoo wakana bayna thalika qawaman

67 And those who, when they spend, are neither prodigal nor grudging; and there is ever a firm station between the two;

68 And they who do not call upon another god with Allah and do not slay the soul, which Allah has forbidden except in the requirements of justice, and (who) do not commit fornication and he who does this shall find a requital of sin;

68 Waallatheena la yadAAoona maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara wala yaqtuloona alnnafsa allatee harrama Allahu illa bialhaqqi wala yaznoona waman yafAAal thalika yalqa athaman

68 And those who cry not unto any other god along with Allah, nor take the life which Allah hath forbidden save in (course of) justice, nor commit adultery - and whoso doeth this shall pay the penalty;

69 The punishment shall be doubled to him on the day of resurrection, and he shall abide therein in abasement;

69 YudaAAaf lahu alAAathabu yawma alqiyamati wayakhlud feehi muhanan

69 The doom will be doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein disdained for ever;

70 Except him who repents and believes and does a good deed; so these are they of whom Allah changes the evil deeds to good ones; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

70 Illa man taba waamana waAAamila AAamalan salihan faolaika yubaddilu Allahu sayyiatihim hasanatin wakana Allahu ghafooran raheeman

70 Save him who repenteth and believeth and doth righteous work; as for such, Allah will change their evil deeds to good deeds. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.

71 And whoever repents and does good, he surely turns to Allah a (goodly) turning.

71 Waman taba waAAamila salihan fainnahu yatoobu ila Allahi mataban

71 And whosoever repenteth and doeth good, he verily repenteth toward Allah with true repentance -

72 And they who do not bear witness to what is false, and when they pass by what is vain, they pass by nobly.

72 Waallatheena la yashhadoona alzzoora waitha marroo biallaghwi marroo kiraman

72 And those who will not witness vanity, but when they pass near senseless play, pass by with dignity.

73 And they who, when reminded of the communications of their Lord, do not fall down thereat deaf and blind.

73 Waallatheena itha thukkiroo biayati rabbihim lam yakhirroo AAalayha summan waAAumyanan

73 And those who, when they are reminded of the revelations of their Lord, fall not deaf and blind thereat.

74 And they who say: O our Lord! grant us in our wives and our offspring the joy of our eyes, and make us guides to those who guard (against evil).

74 Waallatheena yaqooloona rabbana hab lana min azwajina wathurriyyatina qurrata aAAyunin waijAAalna lilmuttaqeena imaman

74 And who say: Our Lord! Vouchsafe us comfort of our wives and of our offspring, and make us patterns for (all) those who ward off (evil).

75 These shall be rewarded with high places because they were patient, and shall be met therein with greetings and salutations.

75 Olaika yujzawna alghurfata bima sabaroo wayulaqqawna feeha tahiyyatan wasalaman

75 They will be awarded the high place forasmuch as they were steadfast, and they will meet therein with welcome and the ward of peace,

76 Abiding therein; goodly the abode and the resting - place.

76 Khalideena feeha hasunat mustaqarran wamuqaman

76 Abiding there for ever. Happy is it as abode and station!

77 Say: My Lord would not care for you were it not for your prayer; but you have indeed rejected (the truth), so that which shall cleave shall come.

77 Qul ma yaAAbao bikum rabbee lawla duAAaokum faqad kaththabtum fasawfa yakoonu lizaman

77 Say (O Muhammad, unto the disbelievers): My Lord would not concern Himself with you but for your prayer. But now ye have denied (the Truth), therefor there will be judgment.
