1 Ha - Mim

2 I swear by the Book that makes things clear:

2 Waalkitabi almubeeni

2 By the Book that makes things clear, -

3 Surely We have made it an Arabic Quran that you may understand.

3 Inna jaAAalnahu quranan AAarabiyyan laAAallakum taAAqiloona

3 We have made it a Qur'an in Arabic, that ye may be able to understand (and learn wisdom).

4 And surely it is in the original of the Book with Us, truly elevated, full of wisdom.

4 Wainnahu fee ommi alkitabi ladayna laAAaliyyun hakeemun

4 And verily, it is in the Mother of the Book, in Our Presence, high (in dignity), full of wisdom.

5 What! shall We then turn away the reminder from you altogether because you are an extravagant people?

5 Afanadribu AAankumu alththikra safhan an kuntum qawman musrifeena

5 Shall We then take away the Message from you and repel (you), for that ye are a people transgressing beyond bounds?

6 And how many a prophet have We sent among the ancients.

6 Wakam arsalna min nabiyyin fee alawwaleena

6 But how many were the prophets We sent amongst the peoples of old?

7 And there came not to them a prophet but they mocked at him.

7 Wama yateehim min nabiyyin illa kanoo bihi yastahzioona

7 And never came there a prophet to them but they mocked him.

8 Then We destroyed those who were stronger than these in prowess, and the case of the ancients has gone before,

8 Faahlakna ashadda minhum batshan wamada mathalu alawwaleena

8 So We destroyed (them) - stronger in power than these; - and (thus) has passed on the Parable of the peoples of old.

9 And if you should ask them, Who created the heavens and the earth? they would most certainly say: The Mighty, the Knowing One, has created them;

9 Walain saaltahum man khalaqa alssamawati waalarda layaqoolunna khalaqahunna alAAazeezu alAAaleemu

9 If thou wert to question them, 'Who created the heavens and the earth?' They would be sure to reply, 'they were created by (Him), the Exalted in Power, Full of Knowledge'; -

10 He Who made the earth a resting - place for you, and made in it ways for you that you may go aright;

10 Allathee jaAAala lakumu alarda mahdan wajaAAala lakum feeha subulan laAAallakum tahtadoona

10 (Yea, the same that) has made for you the earth (like a carpet) spread out, and has made for you roads (and channels) therein, in order that ye may find guidance (on the way);

11 And He Who sends down water from the cloud according to a measure, then We raise to life thereby a dead country, even thus shall you be brought forth;

11 Waallathee nazzala mina alssamai maan biqadarin faansharna bihi baldatan maytan kathalika tukhrajoona

11 That sends down (from time to time) rain from the sky in due measure; - and We raise to life therewith a land that is dead; even so will ye be raised (from the dead); -

12 And He Who created pairs of all things, and made for you of the ships and the cattle what you ride on,

12 Waallathee khalaqa alazwaja kullaha wajaAAala lakum mina alfulki waalanAAami ma tarkaboona

12 That has created pairs in all things, and has made for you ships and cattle on which ye ride,

13 That you may firmly sit on their backs, then remember the favor of your Lord when you are firmly seated thereon, and say: Glory be to Him Who made this subservient to us and we were not able to do it

13 Litastawoo AAala thuhoorihi thumma tathkuroo niAAmata rabbikum itha istawaytum AAalayhi wataqooloo subhana allathee sakhkhara lana hatha wama kunna lahu muqrineena

13 In order that ye may sit firm and square on their backs, and when so seated, ye may celebrate the (kind) favour of your Lord, and say, "Glory to Him Who has subjected these to our (use), for we could never have accomplished this (by ourselves),

14 And surely to our Lord we must return.

14 Wainna ila rabbina lamunqaliboona

14 "And to our Lord, surely, must we turn back!"

15 And they assign to Him a part of His servants; man, to be sure, is clearly ungrateful.

15 WajaAAaloo lahu min AAibadihi juzan inna alinsana lakafoorun mubeenun

15 Yet they attribute to some of His servants a share with Him (in his godhead)! truly is man a blasphemous ingrate avowed!

16 What! has He taken daughters to Himself of what He Himself creates and chosen you to have sons?

16 Ami ittakhatha mimma yakhluqu banatin waasfakum bialbaneena

16 What! has He taken daughters out of what He himself creates, and granted to you sons for choice?

17 And when one of them is given news of that of which he sets up as a likeness for the Beneficent Allah, his face becomes black and he is full of rage.

17 Waitha bushshira ahaduhum bima daraba lilrrahmani mathalan thalla wajhuhu muswaddan wahuwa katheemun

17 When news is brought to one of them of (the birth of) what he sets up as a likeness to (Allah) Most Gracious, his face darkens, and he is filled with inward grief!

18 What! that which is made in ornaments and which in contention is unable to make plain speech!

18 Awaman yunashshao fee alhilyati wahuwa fee alkhisami ghayru mubeenin

18 Is then one brought up among trinkets, and unable to give a clear account in a dispute (to be associated with Allah)?

19 And they make the angels - - them who are the servants of the Beneficent Allah - - female (divinities). What! did they witness their creation? Their evidence shall be written down and they shall be questioned.

19 WajaAAaloo almalaikata allatheena hum AAibadu alrrahmani inathan ashahidoo khalqahum satuktabu shahadatuhum wayusaloona

19 And they make into females angels who themselves serve Allah. Did they witness their creation? Their evidence will be recorded, and they will be called to account!

20 And they say: If the Beneficent Allah had pleased, we should never have worshipped them. They have no knowledge of this; they only lie.

20 Waqaloo law shaa alrrahmanu ma AAabadnahum ma lahum bithalika min AAilmin in hum illa yakhrusoona

20 ("Ah!") they say, "If it had been the will of (Allah) Most Gracious, we should not have worshipped such (deities)!" Of that they have no knowledge! they do nothing but lie!

21 Or have We given them a book before it so that they hold fast to it?

21 Am ataynahum kitaban min qablihi fahum bihi mustamsikoona

21 What! have We given them a Book before this, to which they are holding fast?

22 Nay! they say: We found our fathers on a course, and surely we are guided by their footsteps.

22 Bal qaloo inna wajadna abaana AAala ommatin wainna AAala atharihim muhtadoona

22 Nay! they say: "We found our fathers following a certain religion, and we do guide ourselves by their footsteps."

23 And thus, We did not send before you any warner in a town, but those who led easy lives in it said: Surely we found our fathers on a course, and surely we are followers of their footsteps.

23 Wakathalika ma arsalna min qablika fee qaryatin min natheerin illa qala mutrafooha inna wajadna abaana AAala ommatin wainna AAala atharihim muqtadoona

23 Just in the same way, whenever We sent a Warner before thee to any people, the wealthy ones among them said: "We found our fathers following a certain religion, and we will certainly follow in their footsteps."

24 (The warner) said: What! even if I bring to you a better guide than that on which you found your fathers? They said: Surely we are unbelievers in that with which you are sent.

24 Qala awalaw jitukum biahda mimma wajadtum AAalayhi abaakum qaloo inna bima orsiltum bihi kafiroona

24 He said: "What! Even if I brought you better guidance than that which ye found your fathers following?" They said: "For us, we deny that ye (prophets) are sent (on a mission at all)."

25 So We inflicted retribution on them, then see how was the end of the rejecters.

25 Faintaqamna minhum faonthur kayfa kana AAaqibatu almukaththibeena

25 So We exacted retribution from them: now see what was the end of those who rejected (Truth)!

26 And when Ibrahim said to his father and his people: Surely I am clear of what you worship,

26 Waith qala ibraheemu liabeehi waqawmihi innanee baraon mimma taAAbudoona

26 Behold! Abraham said to his father and his people: "I do indeed clear myself of what ye worship:

27 Save Him Who created me, for surely He will guide me.

27 Illa allathee fataranee fainnahu sayahdeeni

27 "(I worship) only Him Who made me, and He will certainly guide me."

28 And he made it a word to continue in his posterity that they may return.

28 WajaAAalaha kalimatan baqiyatan fee AAaqibihi laAAallahum yarjiAAoona

28 And he left it as a Word to endure among those who came after him, that they may turn back (to Allah).

29 Nay! I gave them and their fathers to enjoy until there came to them the truth and an Apostle making manifest (the truth).

29 Bal mattaAAtu haolai waabaahum hatta jaahumu alhaqqu warasoolun mubeenun

29 Yea, I have given the good things of this life to these (men) and their fathers, until the Truth has come to them, and a messenger making things clear.

30 And when there came to them the truth they said: This is magic, and surely we are disbelievers in it.

30 Walamma jaahumu alhaqqu qaloo hatha sihrun wainna bihi kafiroona

30 But when the Truth came to them, they said: "This is sorcery, and we do reject it."

31 And they say: Why was not this Quran revealed to a man of importance in the two towns?

31 Waqaloo lawla nuzzila hatha alquranu AAala rajulin mina alqaryatayni AAatheemun

31 Also, they say: "Why is not this Qur'an sent down to some leading man in either of the two (chief) cities?"

32 Will they distribute the mercy of your Lord? We distribute among them their livelihood in the life of this world, and We j have exalted some of them above others in degrees, that some of them may take others in subjection; and the mercy of your Lord is better than what they amass.

32 Ahum yaqsimoona rahmata rabbika nahnu qasamna baynahum maAAeeshatahum fee alhayati alddunya warafaAAna baAAdahum fawqa baAAdin darajatin liyattakhitha baAAduhum baAAdan sukhriyyan warahmatu rabbika khayrun mimma yajmaAAoona

32 Is it they who would portion out the Mercy of thy Lord? It is We Who portion out between them their livelihood in the life of this world: and We raise some of them above others in ranks, so that some may command work from others. But the Mercy of thy Lord is better than the (wealth) which they amass.

33 And were it not that all people had been a single nation, We would certainly have assigned to those who disbelieve in the Beneficent Allah (to make) of silver the roofs of their houses and the stairs by which they ascend.

33 Walawla an yakoona alnnasu ommatan wahidatan lajaAAalna liman yakfuru bialrrahmani libuyootihim suqufan min fiddatin wamaAAarija AAalayha yathharoona

33 And were it not that (all) men might become of one (evil) way of life, We would provide, for everyone that blasphemes against (Allah) Most Gracious, silver roofs for their houses and (silver) stair - ways on which to go up,

34 And the doors of their houses and the couches on which they recline,

34 Walibuyootihim abwaban wasururan AAalayha yattakioona

34 And (silver) doors to their houses, and thrones (of silver) on which they could recline,

35 And (other) embellishments of gold; and all this is naught but provision of this world's life, and the hereafter is with your Lord only for those who guard (against evil).

35 Wazukhrufan wain kullu thalika lamma mataAAu alhayati alddunya waalakhiratu AAinda rabbika lilmuttaqeena

35 And also adornments of gold. But all this were nothing but conveniences of the present life: The Hereafter, in the sight of thy Lord is for the Righteous.

36 And whoever turns himself away from the remembrance of the Beneficent Allah, We appoint for him a Shaitan, so he becomes his associate.

36 Waman yaAAshu AAan thikri alrrahmani nuqayyid lahu shaytanan fahuwa lahu qareenun

36 If anyone withdraws himself from remembrance of (Allah) Most Gracious, We appoint for him an evil one, to be an intimate companion to him.

37 And most surely they turn them away from the path, and they think that they are guided aright:

37 Wainnahum layasuddoonahum AAani alssabeeli wayahsaboona annahum muhtadoona

37 Such (evil ones) really hinder them from the Path, but they think that they are being guided aright!

38 Until when he comes to Us, he says: O would that between me and you there were the distance of the East and the West; so evil is the associate!

38 Hatta itha jaana qala ya layta baynee wabaynaka buAAda almashriqayni fabisa alqareenu

38 At length, when (such a one) comes to Us, he says (to his evil companion): "Would that between me and thee were the distance of East and West!" Ah! evil is the companion (indeed)!

39 And since you were unjust, it will not profit you this day that you are sharers in the chastisement.

39 Walan yanfaAAakumu alyawma ith thalamtum annakum fee alAAathabi mushtarikoona

39 When ye have done wrong, it will avail you nothing, that Day, that ye shall be partners in Punishment!

40 What! can you then make the deaf to hear or guide the blind and him who is in clear error?

40 Afaanta tusmiAAu alssumma aw tahdee alAAumya waman kana fee dalalin mubeenin

40 Canst thou then make the deaf to hear, or give direction to the blind or to such as (wander) in manifest error?

41 But if We should take you away, still We shall inflict retribution on them;

41 Faimma nathhabanna bika fainna minhum muntaqimoona

41 Even if We take thee away, We shall be sure to exact retribution from them,

42 Rather We will certainly show you that which We have promised them; for surely We are the possessors of full power over them.

42 Aw nuriyannaka allathee waAAadnahum fainna AAalayhim muqtadiroona

42 Or We shall show thee that (accomplished) which We have promised them: for verily We shall prevail over them.

43 Therefore hold fast to that which has been revealed to you; surely you are on the right path.

43 Faistamsik biallathee oohiya ilayka innaka AAala siratin mustaqeemin

43 So hold thou fast to the Revelation sent down to thee; verily thou art on a Straight Way.

44 And most surely it is a reminder for you and your people, and you shall soon be questioned.

44 Wainnahu lathikrun laka waliqawmika wasawfa tusaloona

44 The (Qur'an) is indeed the message, for thee and for thy people; and soon shall ye (all) be brought to account.

45 And ask those of Our apostles whom We sent before you: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Beneficent Allah?

45 Waisal man arsalna min qablika min rusulina ajaAAalna min dooni alrrahmani alihatan yuAAbadoona

45 And question thou our messengers whom We sent before thee; did We appoint any deities other than (Allah) Most Gracious, to be worshipped?

46 And certainly We sent Musa with Our communications to Firon and his chiefs, so he said: Surely I am the apostle of the Lord of the worlds.

46 Walaqad arsalna moosa biayatina ila firAAawna wamalaihi faqala innee rasoolu rabbi alAAalameena

46 We did send Moses aforetime, with Our Signs, to Pharaoh and his Chiefs: He said, "I am a messenger of the Lord of the Worlds."

47 But when he came to them with Our signs, lo! they laughed at them.

47 Falamma jaahum biayatina itha hum minha yadhakoona

47 But when he came to them with Our Signs, behold they ridiculed them.

48 And We did not show them a sign but it was greater than its like, and We overtook them with chastisement that they may turn.

48 Wama nureehim min ayatin illa hiya akbaru min okhtiha waakhathnahum bialAAathabi laAAallahum yarjiAAoona

48 We showed them Sign after Sign, each greater than its fellow, and We seized them with Punishment, in order that they might turn (to Us).

49 And they said: O magician! call on your Lord for our sake, as He has made the covenant with you; we shall surely be the followers of the right way.

49 Waqaloo ya ayyuha alsahiru odAAu lana rabbaka bima AAahida AAindaka innana lamuhtadoona

49 And they said, "O thou sorcerer! Invoke thy Lord for us according to His covenant with thee; for we shall truly accept guidance."

50 But when We removed from them the chastisement, lo! they broke the pledge.

50 Falamma kashafna AAanhumu alAAathaba itha hum yankuthoona

50 But when We removed the Penalty from them, behold, they broke their word.

51 And Firon proclaimed amongst his people: O my people! is not the kingdom of Egypt mine? And these rivers flow beneath me; do you not then see?

51 Wanada firAAawnu fee qawmihi qala ya qawmi alaysa lee mulku misra wahathihi alanharu tajree min tahtee afala tubsiroona

51 And Pharaoh proclaimed among his people, saying: "O my people! Does not the dominion of Egypt belong to me, (witness) these streams flowing underneath my (palace)? What! see ye not then?

52 Nay! I am better than this fellow, who is contemptible, and who can hardly speak distinctly:

52 Am ana khayrun min hatha allathee huwa maheenun wala yakadu yubeenu

52 "Am I not better than this (Moses), who is a contemptible wretch and can scarcely express himself clearly?

53 But why have not bracelets of gold been put upon him, or why have there not come with him angels as companions?

53 Falawla olqiya AAalayhi aswiratun min thahabin aw jaa maAAahu almalaikatu muqtarineena

53 "Then why are not gold bracelets bestowed on him, or (why) come (not) with him angels accompanying him in procession?"

54 So he incited his people to levity and they obeyed him: surely they were a transgressing people.

54 Faistakhaffa qawmahu faataAAoohu innahum kanoo qawman fasiqeena

54 Thus did he make fools of his people, and they obeyed him: truly were they a people rebellious (against Allah).

55 Then when they displeased Us, We inflicted a retribution on them, so We drowned them all together,

55 Falamma asafoona intaqamna minhum faaghraqnahum ajmaAAeena

55 When at length they provoked Us, We exacted retribution from them, and We drowned them all.

56 And We made them a precedent and example to the later generations.

56 FajaAAalnahum salafan wamathalan lilakhireena

56 And We made them (a people) of the Past and an Example to later ages.

57 And when a description of the son of Marium is given, lo! your people raise a clamor thereat.

57 Walamma duriba ibnu maryama mathalan itha qawmuka minhu yasiddoona

57 When (Jesus) the son of Mary is held up as an example, behold, thy people raise a clamour thereat (in ridicule)!

58 And they say: Are our gods better, or is he? They do not set it forth to you save by way of disputation; nay, they are a contentious people.

58 Waqaloo aalihatuna khayrun am huwa ma daraboohu laka illa jadalan bal hum qawmun khasimoona

58 And they say, "Are our gods best, or he?" This they set forth to thee, only by way of disputation: yea, they are a contentious people.

59 He was naught but a servant on whom We bestowed favor, and We made him an example for the children of Israel.

59 In huwa illa AAabdun anAAamna AAalayhi wajaAAalnahu mathalan libanee israeela

59 He was no more than a servant: We granted Our favour to him, and We made him an example to the Children of Israel.

60 And if We please, We could make among you angels to be successors in the land.

60 Walaw nashao lajaAAalna minkum malaikatan fee alardi yakhlufoona

60 And if it were Our Will, We could make angels from amongst you, succeeding each other on the earth.

61 And most surely it is a knowledge of the hour, therefore have no doubt about it and follow me: this is the right path.

61 Wainnahu laAAilmun lilssaAAati fala tamtarunna biha waittabiAAooni hatha siratun mustaqeemun

61 And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye Me: this is a Straight Way.

62 And let not the Shaitan prevent you; surely he is your j open enemy.

62 Wala yasuddannakumu alshshaytanu innahu lakum AAaduwwun mubeenun

62 Let not the Evil One hinder you: for he is to you an enemy avowed.

63 And when Isa came with clear arguments he said: I have come to you indeed with wisdom, and that I may make clear to you part of what you differ in; so be careful of (your duty to) Allah and obey me:

63 Walamma jaa AAeesa bialbayyinati qala qad jitukum bialhikmati waliobayyina lakum baAAda allathee takhtalifoona feehi faittaqoo Allaha waateeAAooni

63 When Jesus came with Clear Signs, he said: "Now have I come to you with Wisdom, and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) on which ye dispute: therefore fear Allah and obey me.

64 Surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, therefore serve Him; this is the right path:

64 Inna Allaha huwa rabbee warabbukum faoAAbudoohu hatha siratun mustaqeemun

64 "For Allah, He is my Lord and your Lord: so worship ye Him: this is a Straight Way."

65 But parties from among them differed, so woe to those who were unjust because of the chastisement of a painful day.

65 Faikhtalafa alahzabu min baynihim fawaylun lillatheena thalamoo min AAathabi yawmin aleemin

65 But sects from among themselves fell into disagreement: then woe to the wrong - doers, from the Penalty of a Grievous Day!

66 Do they wait for aught but the hour, that it should come! upon them all of a sudden while they do not perceive?

66 Hal yanthuroona illa alssaAAata an tatiyahum baghtatan wahum la yashAAuroona

66 Do they only wait for the Hour - that it should come on them all of a sudden, while they perceive not?

67 The friends shall on that day be enemies one to another, except those who guard (against evil).

67 Alakhillao yawmaithin baAAduhum libaAAdin AAaduwwun illa almuttaqeena

67 Friends on that day will be foes, one to another, - except the Righteous.

68 O My servants! there is no fear for you this day, nor shall you grieve.

68 Ya AAibadi la khawfun AAalaykumu alyawma wala antum tahzanoona

68 My devotees! no fear shall be on you that Day, nor shall ye grieve, -

69 Those who believed in Our communications and were submissive:

69 Allatheena amanoo biayatina wakanoo muslimeena

69 (Being) those who have believed in Our Signs and bowed (their wills to Ours) in Islam.

70 Enter the garden, you and your wives; you shall be made happy.

70 Odkhuloo aljannata antum waazwajukum tuhbaroona

70 Enter ye the Garden, ye and your wives, in (beauty and) rejoicing.

71 There shall be sent round to them golden bowls and drinking - cups and therein shall be what their souls yearn after and (wherein) the eyes shall delight, and you shall abide therein.

71 Yutafu AAalayhim bisihafin min thahabin waakwabin wafeeha ma tashtaheehi alanfusu watalaththu alaAAyunu waantum feeha khalidoona

71 To them will be passed round, dishes and goblets of gold: there will be there all that the souls could desire, all that their eyes could delight in: and ye shall abide therein (for eye).

72 And this is the garden which you are given as an inheritance on account of what you did.

72 Watilka aljannatu allatee oorithtumooha bima kuntum taAAmaloona

72 Such will be the Garden of which ye are made heirs for your (good) deeds (in life).

73 For you therein are many fruits of which you shall eat.

73 Lakum feeha fakihatun katheeratun minha takuloona

73 Ye shall have therein abundance of fruit, from which ye shall have satisfaction.

74 Surely the guilty shall abide in the chastisement of hell.

74 Inna almujrimeena fee AAathabi jahannama khalidoona

74 The sinners will be in the Punishment of Hell, to dwell therein (for aye):

75 It shall not be abated from them and they shall therein be despairing.

75 La yufattaru AAanhum wahum feehi mublisoona

75 Nowise will the (Punishment) be lightened for them, and in despair will they be there overwhelmed.

76 And We are not unjust to them, but they themselves were unjust.

76 Wama thalamnahum walakin kanoo humu alththalimeena

76 Nowise shall We be unjust to them: but it is they who have been unjust themselves.

77 And they shall call out: O Malik! let your Lord make an end of us. He shall say: Surely you shall tarry.

77 Wanadaw ya maliku liyaqdi AAalayna rabbuka qala innakum makithoona

77 They will cry: "O Malik! would that thy Lord put an end to us!" He will say, "Nay, but ye shall abide!"

78 Certainly We have brought you the truth, but most of you are averse to the truth.

78 Laqad jinakum bialhaqqi walakinna aktharakum lilhaqqi karihoona

78 Verily We have brought the Truth to you: but most of you have a hatred for Truth.

79 Or have they settled an affair? Then surely We are the settlers.

79 Am abramoo amran fainna mubrimoona

79 What! have they settled some plan (among themselves)? But it is We Who settle things.

80 Or do they think that We do not hear what they conceal and their secret discourses? Aye! and Our apostles with them write down.

80 Am yahsaboona anna la nasmaAAu sirrahum wanajwahum bala warusuluna ladayhim yaktuboona

80 Or do they think that We hear not their secrets and their private counsels? Indeed (We do), and Our messengers are by them, to record.

81 Say: If the Beneficent Allah has a son, I am the foremost of those who serve.

81 Qul in kana lilrrahmani waladun faana awwalu alAAabideena

81 Say: "If (Allah) Most Gracious had a son, I would be the first to worship."

82 Glory to the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of power, from what they describe.

82 Subhana rabbi alssamawati waalardi rabbi alAAarshi AAamma yasifoona

82 Glory to the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne (of Authority)! (He is free) from the things they attribute (to him)!

83 So leave them plunging into false discourses and sporting until they meet their day which they are threatened with.

83 Fatharhum yakhoodoo wayalAAaboo hatta yulaqoo yawmahumu allathee yooAAadoona

83 So leave them to babble and play (with vanities) until they meet that Day of theirs, which they have been promised.

84 And He it is Who is Allah in the heavens and Allah in the earth; and He is the Wise, the Knowing.

84 Wahuwa allathee fee alssamai ilahun wafee alardi ilahun wahuwa alhakeemu alAAaleemu

84 It is He Who is Allah in heaven and Allah on earth; and He is full of Wisdom and Knowledge.

85 And blessed is He Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and with Him is the knowledge of the hour, and to Him shall you be brought back.

85 Watabaraka allathee lahu mulku alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma waAAindahu AAilmu alssaAAati wailayhi turjaAAoona

85 And blessed is He to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all between them: with Him is the Knowledge of the Hour (of Judgment): and to Him shall ye be brought back.

86 And those whom they call upon besides Him have no authority for intercession, but he who bears witness of the truth and they know (him).

86 Wala yamliku allatheena yadAAoona min doonihi alshshafaAAata illa man shahida bialhaqqi wahum yaAAlamoona

86 And those whom they invoke besides Allah have no power of intercession; - only he who bears witness to the Truth, and they know (him).

87 And if you should ask them who created them, they would certainly say: Allah. Whence are they then turned back?

87 Walain saaltahum man khalaqahum layaqoolunna Allahu faanna yufakoona

87 If thou ask them, who created them, they will certainly say, Allah: How then are they deluded away (from the Truth)?

88 Consider his cry: O my Lord! surely they are a people who do not believe.

88 Waqeelihi yarabbi inna haolai qawmun la yuminoona

88 (Allah has knowledge) of the (Prophet's) cry, "O my Lord! Truly these are people who will not believe!"
