Al Hijr

1 Alif Lam Ra. These are the verses of the Book and (of) a Quran that makes (things) clear.

1 Aliflamra tilka ayatu alkitabi waquranin mubeenin

2 Often will those who disbelieve wish that they had been Muslims.

2 Rubama yawaddu allatheena kafaroo law kanoo muslimeena

3 Leave them that they may eat and enjoy themselves and (that) hope may beguile them, for they will soon know.

3 Tharhum yakuloo wayatamattaAAoo wayulhihimu alamalu fasawfa yaAAlamoona

4 And never did We destroy a town but it had a term made known.

4 Wama ahlakna min qaryatin illa walaha kitabun maAAloomun

5 No people can hasten on their doom nor can they postpone (it).

5 Ma tasbiqu min ommatin ajalaha wama yastakhiroona

6 And they say: O you to whom the Reminder has been revealed! you are most surely insane:

6 Waqaloo ya ayyuha allathee nuzzila AAalayhi alththikru innaka lamajnoonun

7 Why do you not bring to us the angels if you are of the truthful ones?

7 Law ma tateena bialmalaikati in kunta mina alssadiqeena

8 We do not send the angels but with truth, and then they would not be respited.

8 Ma nunazzilu almalaikata illa bialhaqqi wama kanoo ithan munthareena

9 Surely We have revealed the Reminder and We will most surely be its guardian.

9 Inna nahnu nazzalna alththikra wainna lahu lahafithoona

10 And certainly We sent (apostles) before you among the nations of yore.

10 Walaqad arsalna min qablika fee shiyaAAi alawwaleena

11 And there never came an apostle to them but they mocked him.

11 Wama yateehim min rasoolin illa kanoo bihi yastahzioona

12 Thus do We make it to enter into the hearts of the guilty;

12 Kathalika naslukuhu fee quloobi almujrimeena

13 They do not believe in it, and indeed the example of the former people has already passed.

13 La yuminoona bihi waqad khalat sunnatu alawwaleena

14 And even if We open to them a gateway of heaven, so that they ascend into it all the while,

14 Walaw fatahna AAalayhim baban mina alssamai fathalloo feehi yaAArujoona

15 They would certainly say: Only our eyes have been covered over, rather we are an enchanted people.

15 Laqaloo innama sukkirat absaruna bal nahnu qawmun mashooroona

16 And certainly We have made strongholds in the heaven and We have made it fair seeming to the beholders.

16 Walaqad jaAAalna fee alssamai buroojan wazayyannaha lilnnathireena

17 And We guard it against every accursed Shaitan,

17 Wahafithnaha min kulli shaytanin rajeemin

18 But he who steals a hearing, so there follows him a visible flame.

18 Illa mani istaraqa alssamAAa faatbaAAahu shihabun mubeenun

19 And the earth - - We have spread it forth and made in it firm mountains and caused to grow in it of every suitable thing.

19 Waalarda madadnaha waalqayna feeha rawasiya waanbatna feeha min kulli shayin mawzoonin

20 And We have made in it means of subsistence for you and for him for whom you are not the suppliers.

20 WajaAAalna lakum feeha maAAayisha waman lastum lahu biraziqeena

21 And there is not a thing but with Us are the treasures of it, and We do not send it down but in a known measure.

21 Wain min shayin illa AAindana khazainuhu wama nunazziluhu illa biqadarin maAAloomin

22 And We send the winds fertilizing, then send down water from the cloud so We give it to you to drink of, nor is it you who store it up.

22 Waarsalna alrriyaha lawaqiha faanzalna mina alssamai maan faasqaynakumoohu wama antum lahu bikhazineena

23 And most surely We bring to life and cause to die and We are the heirs.

23 Wainna lanahnu nuhyee wanumeetu wanahnu alwarithoona

24 And certainly We know those of you who have gone before and We certainly know those who shall come later.

24 Walaqad AAalimna almustaqdimeena minkum walaqad AAalimna almustakhireena

25 And surely your Lord will gather them together; surely He is Wise, Knowing.

25 Wainna rabbaka huwa yahshuruhum innahu hakeemun AAaleemun

26 And certainly We created man of clay that gives forth sound, of black mud fashioned in shape.

26 Walaqad khalaqna alinsana min salsalin min hamain masnoonin

27 And the jinn We created before, of intensely hot fire.

27 Waaljanna khalaqnahu min qablu min nari alssamoomi

28 And when your Lord said to the angels: Surely I am going to create a mortal of the essence of black mud fashioned in shape.

28 Waith qala rabbuka lilmalaikati innee khaliqun basharan min salsalin min hamain masnoonin

29 So when I have made him complete and breathed into him of My spirit, fall down making obeisance to him.

29 Faitha sawwaytuhu wanafakhtu feehi min roohee faqaAAoo lahu sajideena

30 So the angels made obeisance, all of them together,

30 Fasajada almalaikatu kulluhum ajmaAAoona

31 But Iblis (did it not); he refused to be with those who made obeisance.

31 Illa ibleesa aba an yakoona maAAa alssajideena

32 He said: O Iblis! what excuse have you that you are not with those who make obeisance?

32 Qala ya ibleesu ma laka alla takoona maAAa alssajideena

33 He said: I am not such that I should make obeisance to a mortal whom Thou hast created of the essence of black mud fashioned in shape.

33 Qala lam akun liasjuda libasharin khalaqtahu min salsalin min hamain masnoonin

34 He said: Then get out of it, for surely you are driven away:

34 Qala faokhruj minha fainnaka rajeemun

35 And surely on you is curse until the day of judgment.

35 Wainna AAalayka allaAAnata ila yawmi alddeeni

36 He said: My Lord! then respite me till the time when they are raised.

36 Qala rabbi faanthirnee ila yawmi yubAAathoona

37 He said: So surely you are of the respited ones

37 Qala fainnaka mina almunthareena

38 Till the period of the time made known.

38 Ila yawmi alwaqti almaAAloomi

39 He said: My Lord! because Thou hast made life evil to me, I will certainly make (evil) fair - seeming to them on earth, and I will certainly cause them all to deviate

39 Qala rabbi bima aghwaytanee laozayyinanna lahum fee alardi walaoghwiyannahum ajmaAAeena

40 Except Thy servants from among them, the devoted ones.

40 Illa AAibadaka minhumu almukhlaseena

41 He said: This is a right way with Me:

41 Qala hatha siratun AAalayya mustaqeemun

42 Surely. as regards My servants, you have no authority, over them except those who follow you of the deviators.

42 Inna AAibadee laysa laka AAalayhim sultanun illa mani ittabaAAaka mina alghaweena

43 And surely Hell is the promised place of them all:

43 Wainna jahannama lamawAAiduhum ajmaAAeena

44 It has seven gates; for every gate there shall be a separate party of them.

44 Laha sabAAatu abwabin likulli babin minhum juzon maqsoomun

45 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in the midst of gardens and fountains:

45 Inna almuttaqeena fee jannatin waAAuyoonin

46 Enter them in peace, secure.

46 Odkhulooha bisalamin amineena

47 And We will root out whatever of rancor is in their breasts - - (they shall be) as brethren, on raised couches, face to face.

47 WanazaAAna ma fee sudoorihim min ghillin ikhwanan AAala sururin mutaqabileena

48 Toil shall not afflict them in it, nor shall they be ever ejected from it.

48 La yamassuhum feeha nasabun wama hum minha bimukhrajeena

49 Inform My servants that I am the Forgiving, the Merciful,

49 Nabbi AAibadee annee ana alghafooru alrraheemu

50 And that My punishment - - that is the painful punishment.

50 Wa anna AAathabee huwa alAAathabu alaleemu

51 And inform them of the guests of Ibrahim:

51 Wanabbihum AAan dayfi ibraheema

52 When they entered upon him, they said, Peace. He said: Surely we are afraid of you.

52 Ith dakhaloo AAalayhi faqaloo salaman qala inna minkum wajiloona

53 They said: Be not afraid, surely we give you the good news of a boy, possessing knowledge.

53 Qaloo la tawjal inna nubashshiruka bighulamin AAaleemin

54 He said: Do you give me good news (of a son) when old age has come upon me? - - Of what then do you give me good news!

54 Qala abashshartumoonee AAala an massaniya alkibaru fabima tubashshirooni

55 They said: We give you good news with truth, therefore be not of the despairing.

55 Qaloo bashsharnaka bialhaqqi fala takun mina alqaniteena

56 He said: And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord but the erring ones?

56 Qala waman yaqnatu min rahmati rabbihi illa alddalloona

57 He said: What is your business then, O apostles?

57 Qala fama khatbukum ayyuha almursaloona

58 They said: Surely we are sent towards a guilty people,

58 Qaloo inna orsilna ila qawmin mujrimeena

59 Except Lut's followers: We will most surely deliver them all,

59 Illa ala lootin inna lamunajjoohum ajmaAAeena

60 Except his wife; We ordained that she shall surely be of those who remain behind.

60 Illa imraatahu qaddarna innaha lamina alghabireena

61 So when the apostles came to Lut's followers,

61 Falamma jaa ala lootin almursaloona

62 He said: Surely you are an unknown people.

62 Qala innakum qawmun munkaroona

63 They said: Nay, we have come to you with that about which they disputed.

63 Qaloo bal jinaka bima kanoo feehi yamtaroona

64 And we have come to you with the truth, and we are most surely truthful.

64 Waataynaka bialhaqqi wainna lasadiqoona

65 Therefore go forth with your followers in a part of the night and yourself follow their rear, and let not any one of you turn round, and go forth whither you are commanded.

65 Faasri biahlika biqitAAin mina allayli waittabiAA adbarahum wala yaltafit minkum ahadun waimdoo haythu tumaroona

66 And We revealed to him this decree, that the roots of these shall be cut off in the morning.

66 Waqadayna ilayhi thalika alamra anna dabira haolai maqtooAAun musbiheena

67 And the people of the town came rejoicing.

67 Wajaa ahlu almadeenati yastabshiroona

68 He said: Surely these are my guests, therefore do not disgrace me,

68 Qala inna haolai dayfee fala tafdahooni

69 And guard against (the punishment of) Allah and do not put me to shame.

69 Waittaqoo Allaha wala tukhzooni

70 They said: Have we not forbidden you from (other) people?

70 Qaloo awalam nanhaka AAani alAAalameena

71 He said: These are my daughters, if you will do (aught).

71 Qala haolai banatee in kuntum faAAileena

72 By your life! they were blindly wandering on in their intoxication.

72 LaAAamruka innahum lafee sakratihim yaAAmahoona

73 So the rumbling overtook them (while) entering upon the time of sunrise;

73 Faakhathathumu alssayhatu mushriqeena

74 Thus did We turn it upside down, and rained down upon them stones of what had been decreed.

74 FajaAAalna AAaliyaha safilaha waamtarna AAalayhim hijaratan min sijjeelin

75 Surely in this are signs for those who examine.

75 Inna fee thalika laayatin lilmutawassimeena

76 And surely it is on a road that still abides.

76 Wainnaha labisabeelin muqeemin

77 Most surely there is a sign in this for the believers.

77 Inna fee thalika laayatan lilmumineena

78 And the dwellers of the thicket also were most surely unjust.

78 Wain kana ashabu alaykati lathalimeena

79 So We inflicted retribution on them, and they are both, indeed, on an open road (still) pursued.

79 Faintaqamna minhum wainnahuma labiimamin mubeenin

80 And the dwellers of the Rock certainly rejected the apostles;

80 Walaqad kaththaba ashabu alhijri almursaleena

81 And We gave them Our communications, but they turned aside from them;

81 Waataynahum ayatina fakanoo AAanha muAArideena

82 And they hewed houses in the mountains in security.

82 Wakanoo yanhitoona mina aljibali buyootan amineena

83 So the rumbling overtook them in the morning;

83 Faakhathathumu alssayhatu musbiheena

84 And what they earned did not avail them.

84 Fama aghna AAanhum ma kanoo yaksiboona

85 And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them two but in truth; and the hour is most surely coming, so turn away with kindly forgiveness.

85 Wama khalaqna alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma illa bialhaqqi wainna alssaAAata laatiyatun faisfahi alssafha aljameela

86 Surely your Lord is the Creator of all things, the Knowing.

86 Inna rabbaka huwa alkhallaqu alAAaleemu

87 And certainly We have given you seven of the oft - repeated (verses) and the grand Quran.

87 Walaqad ataynaka sabAAan mina almathanee waalqurana alAAatheema

88 Do not strain your eyes after what We have given certain classes of them to enjoy, and do not grieve for them, and make yourself gentle to the believers.

88 La tamuddanna AAaynayka ila ma mattaAAna bihi azwajan minhum wala tahzan AAalayhim waikhfid janahaka lilmumineena

89 And say: Surely I am the plain warner.

89 Waqul innee ana alnnatheeru almubeenu

90 Like as We sent down on the dividers

90 Kama anzalna AAala almuqtasimeena

91 Those who made the Quran into shreds.

91 Allatheena jaAAaloo alqurana AAideena

92 So, by your Lord, We would most certainly question them all,

92 Fawarabbika lanasalannahum ajmaAAeena

93 As to what they did.

93 AAamma kanoo yaAAmaloona

94 Therefore declare openly what you are bidden and turn aside from the polytheists.

94 FaisdaAA bima tumaru waaAArid AAani almushrikeena

95 Surely We will suffice you against the scoffers

95 Inna kafaynaka almustahzieena

96 Those who set up another god with Allah; so they shall soon know.

96 Allatheena yajAAaloona maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara fasawfa yaAAlamoona

97 And surely We know that your breast straitens at what they say;

97 Walaqad naAAlamu annaka yadeequ sadruka bima yaqooloona

98 Therefore celebrate the praise of your Lord, and be of those who make obeisance.

98 Fasabbih bihamdi rabbika wakun mina alssajideena

99 And serve your Lord until there comes to you that which is certain.

99 WaoAAbud rabbaka hatta yatiyaka alyaqeenu
