Al Anabeeh

1 Their reckoning has drawn near to men, and in heedlessness are they turning aside.

1 Closer and closer to mankind comes their Reckoning: yet they heed not and they turn away.

1 Iqtaraba lilnnasi hisabuhum wahum fee ghaflatin muAAridoona

2 There comes not to them a new reminder from their Lord but they hear it while they sport,

2 Never comes (aught) to them of a renewed Message from their Lord, but they listen to it as in jest, -

2 Ma yateehim min thikrin min rabbihim muhdathin illa istamaAAoohu wahum yalAAaboona

3 Their hearts trifling; and those who are unjust counsel together in secret: He is nothing but a mortal like yourselves; what! will you then yield to enchantment while you see?

3 Their hearts toying as with trifles. The wrong - doers conceal their private counsels, (saying), "Is this (one) more than a man like yourselves? Will ye go to witchcraft with your eyes open?"

3 Lahiyatan quloobuhum waasarroo alnnajwa allatheena thalamoo hal hatha illa basharun mithlukum afatatoona alssihra waantum tubsiroona

4 He said: My Lord knows what is spoken in the heaven and the earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

4 Say: "My Lord knoweth (every) word (spoken) in the heavens and on earth: He is the One that heareth and knoweth (all things)."

4 Qala rabbee yaAAlamu alqawla fee alssamai waalardi wahuwa alssameeAAu alAAaleemu

5 Nay! say they: Medleys of dreams; nay! he has forged it; nay! he is a poet; so let him bring to us a sign as the former (prophets) were sent (with).

5 "Nay," they say, "(these are) medleys of dream! - Nay, He forged it! - Nay, He is (but) a poet! Let him then bring us a Sign like the ones that were sent to (Prophets) of old!"

5 Bal qaloo adghathu ahlamin bali iftarahu bal huwa shaAAirun falyatina biayatin kama orsila alawwaloona

6 There did not believe before them any town which We destroyed, will they then believe?

6 (As to those) before them, not one of the populations which We destroyed believed: will these believe?

6 Ma amanat qablahum min qaryatin ahlaknaha afahum yuminoona

7 And We did not send before you any but men to whom We sent revelation, so ask the followers of the reminder if you do not

7 Before thee, also, the messengers We sent were but men, to whom We granted inspiration: If ye realise this not, ask of those who possess the Message.

7 Wama arsalna qablaka illa rijalan noohee ilayhim faisaloo ahla alththikri in kuntum la taAAlamoona

8 And We did not make them bodies not eating the food, and they were not to abide (forever).

8 Nor did We give them bodies that ate no food, nor were they exempt from death.

8 Wama jaAAalnahum jasadan la yakuloona alttaAAama wama kanoo khalideena

9 Then We made Our promise good to them, so We delivered them and those whom We pleased, and We destroyed the extravagant.

9 In the end We fulfilled to them Our Promise, and We saved them and those whom We pleased, but We destroyed those who transgressed beyond bounds.

9 Thumma sadaqnahumu alwaAAda faanjaynahum waman nashao waahlakna almusrifeena

10 Certainly We have revealed to you a Book in which is your good remembrance; what! do you not then understand?

10 We have revealed for you (O men!) a book in which is a Message for you: will ye not then understand?

10 Laqad anzalna ilaykum kitaban feehi thikrukum afala taAAqiloona

11 And how many a town which was iniquitous did We demolish, and We raised up after it another people!

11 How many were the populations We utterly destroyed because of their iniquities, setting up in their places other peoples?

11 Wakam qasamna min qaryatin kanat thalimatan waanshana baAAdaha qawman akhareena

12 So when they felt Our punishment, lo! they began to fly

12 Yet, when they felt Our Punishment (coming), behold, they (tried to) flee from it.

12 Falamma ahassoo basana itha hum minha yarkudoona

13 Do not fly (now) and come back to what you were made to lead easy lives in and to your dwellings, haply you will be questioned.

13 Flee not, but return to the good things of this life which were given you, and to your homes in order that ye may be called to account.

13 La tarkudoo wairjiAAoo ila ma otriftum feehi wamasakinikum laAAallakum tusaloona

14 They said: O woe to us! surely we were unjust.

14 They said: "Ah! woe to us! We were indeed wrong - doers!"

14 Qaloo ya waylana inna kunna thalimeena

15 And this ceased not to be their cry till We made them cut off, extinct.

15 And that cry of theirs ceased not, till We made them as a field that is mown, as ashes silent and quenched.

15 Fama zalat tilka daAAwahum hatta jaAAalnahum haseedan khamideena

16 And We did not create the heaven and the earth and what is between them for sport.

16 Not for (idle) sport did We create the heavens and the earth and all that is between!

16 Wama khalaqna alssamaa waalarda wama baynahuma laAAibeena

17 Had We wished to make a diversion, We would have made it from before Ourselves: by no means would We do (it).

17 If it had been Our wish to take (just) a pastime, We should surely have taken it from the things nearest to Us, if We would do (such a thing)!

17 Law aradna an nattakhitha lahwan laittakhathnahu min ladunna in kunna faAAileena

18 Nay! We cast the truth against the falsehood, so that it breaks its head, and lo! it vanishes; and woe to you for what you describe;

18 Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks out its brain, and behold, falsehood doth perish! Ah! woe be to you for the (false) things ye ascribe (to Us).

18 Bal naqthifu bialhaqqi AAala albatili fayadmaghuhu faitha huwa zahiqun walakumu alwaylu mimma tasifoona

19 And whoever is in the heavens and the earth is His; and those who are with Him are not proud to serve Him, nor do they grow weary.

19 To Him belong all (creatures) in the heavens and on earth: Even those who are in His (very) Presence are not too proud to serve Him, nor are they (ever) weary (of His service):

19 Walahu man fee alssamawati waalardi waman AAindahu la yastakbiroona AAan AAibadatihi wala yastahsiroona

20 They glorify (Him) by night and day; they are never languid.

20 They celebrate His praises night and day, nor do they ever flag or intermit.

20 Yusabbihoona allayla waalnnahara la yafturoona

21 Or have they taken gods from the earth who raise (the dead).

21 Or have they taken (for worship) gods from the earth who can raise (the dead)?

21 Ami ittakhathoo alihatan mina alardi hum yunshiroona

22 If there had been in them any gods except Allah, they would both have certainly been in a state of disorder; therefore glory be to Allah, the Lord of the dominion, above what they attribute (to Him).

22 If there were, in the heavens and the earth, other gods besides Allah, there would have been confusion in both! but glory to Allah, the Lord of the Throne: (High is He) above what they attribute to Him!

22 Law kana feehima alihatun illa Allahu lafasadata fasubhana Allahi rabbi alAAarshi AAamma yasifoona

23 He cannot be questioned concerning what He does and they shall be questioned.

23 He cannot be questioned for His acts, but they will be questioned (for theirs).

23 La yusalu AAamma yafAAalu wahum yusaloona

24 Or, have they taken gods besides Him? Say: Bring your proof; this is the reminder of those with me and the reminder of those before me. Nay! most of them do not know the truth, so they turn aside.

24 Or have they taken for worship (other) gods besides him? Say, "Bring your convincing proof: this is the Message of those with me and the Message of those before me." But most of them know not the Truth, and so turn away.

24 Ami ittakhathoo min doonihi alihatan qul hatoo burhanakum hatha thikru man maAAiya wathikru man qablee bal aktharuhum la yaAAlamoona alhaqqa fahum muAAridoona

25 And We did not send before you any apostle but We revealed to him that there is no god but Me, therefore serve Me.

25 Not a messenger did We send before thee without this inspiration sent by Us to him: that there is no god but I; therefore worship and serve Me.

25 Wama arsalna min qablika min rasoolin illa noohee ilayhi annahu la ilaha illa ana faoAAbudooni

26 And they say: The Beneficent Allah has taken to Himself a son. Glory be to Him. Nay! they are honored servants

26 And they say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten offspring." Glory to Him! they are (but) servants raised to honour.

26 Waqaloo ittakhatha alrrahmanu waladan subhanahu bal AAibadun mukramoona

27 They do not precede Him in speech and (only) according to His commandment do they act.

27 They speak not before He speaks, and they act (in all things) by His Command.

27 La yasbiqoonahu bialqawli wahum biamrihi yaAAmaloona

28 He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they do not intercede except for him whom He approves and for fear of Him they tremble.

28 He knows what is before them, and what is behind them, and they offer no intercession except for those who are acceptable, and they stand in awe and reverence of His (Glory).

28 YaAAlamu ma bayna aydeehim wama khalfahum wala yashfaAAoona illa limani irtada wahum min khashyatihi mushfiqoona

29 And whoever of them should say: Surely I am a god besides Him, such a one do We recompense with hell; thus do, We recompense the unjust.

29 If any of them should say, "I am a god besides Him", such a one We should reward with Hell: thus do We reward those who do wrong.

29 Waman yaqul minhum innee ilahun min doonihi fathalika najzeehi jahannama kathalika najzee alththalimeena

30 Do not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and the earth were closed up, but We have opened them; and We have made of water everything living, will they not then believe?

30 Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?

30 Awalam yara allatheena kafaroo anna alssamawati waalarda kanata ratqan fafataqnahuma wajaAAalna mina almai kulla shayin hayyin afala yuminoona

31 And We have made great mountains in the earth lest it might be convulsed with them, and We have made in it wide ways that they may follow a right direction.

31 And We have set on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with them, and We have made therein broad highways (between mountains) for them to pass through: that they may receive Guidance.

31 WajaAAalna fee alardi rawasiya an tameeda bihim wajaAAalna feeha fijajan subulan laAAallahum yahtadoona

32 And We have made the heaven a guarded canopy and (yet) they turn aside from its signs.

32 And We have made the heavens as a canopy well guarded: yet do they turn away from the Signs which these things (point to)!

32 WajaAAalna alssamaa saqfan mahfoothan wahum AAan ayatiha muAAridoona

33 And He it is Who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all (orbs) travel along swiftly in their celestial spheres.

33 It is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its rounded course.

33 Wahuwa allathee khalaqa allayla waalnnahara waalshshamsa waalqamara kullun fee falakin yasbahoona

34 And We did not ordain abiding for any mortal before you. What! Then if you die, will they abide?

34 We granted not to any man before thee permanent life (here): if then thou shouldst die, would they live permanently?

34 Wama jaAAalna libasharin min qablika alkhulda afain mitta fahumu alkhalidoona

35 Every soul must taste of death and We try you by evil and good by way of probation; and to Us you shall be brought back.

35 Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial. to Us must ye return.

35 Kullu nafsin thaiqatu almawti wanablookum bialshsharri waalkhayri fitnatan wailayna turjaAAoona

36 And when those who disbelieve see you, they do not take you but for one to be scoffed at: Is this he who speaks of your gods? And they are deniers at the mention of the Beneficent Allah.

36 When the Unbelievers see thee, they treat thee not except with ridicule. "Is this," (they say), "the one who talks of your gods?" and they blaspheme at the mention of (Allah) Most Gracious!

36 Waitha raaka allatheena kafaroo in yattakhithoonaka illa huzuwan ahatha allathee yathkuru alihatakum wahum bithikri alrrahmani hum kafiroona

37 Man is created of haste; now will I show to you My signs, therefore do not ask Me to hasten (them) on.

37 Man is a creature of haste: soon (enough) will I show you My Signs; then ye will not ask Me to hasten them!

37 Khuliqa alinsanu min AAajalin saoreekum ayatee fala tastaAAjiloona

38 And they say: When will this threat come to pass if you are truthful?

38 They say: "When will this promise come to pass, if ye are telling the truth?"

38 Wayaqooloona mata hatha alwaAAdu in kuntum sadiqeena

39 Had those who disbelieve but known (of the time) when they shall not be able to ward off the fire from their faces nor from their backs, nor shall they be helped.

39 If only the Unbelievers knew (the time) when they will not be able to ward off the fire from their faces, nor yet from their backs, and (when) no help can reach them!

39 Law yaAAlamu allatheena kafaroo heena la yakuffoona AAan wujoohihimu alnnara wala AAan thuhoorihim wala hum yunsaroona

40 Nay, it shall come on them all of a sudden and cause them to become confounded, so they shall not have the power to avert it, nor shall they be respited.

40 Nay, it may come to them all of a sudden and confound them: no power will they have then to avert it, nor will they (then) get respite.

40 Bal tateehim baghtatan fatabhatuhum fala yastateeAAoona raddaha wala hum yuntharoona

41 And certainly apostles before you were scoffed at, then there befell those of them who scoffed that at which they had scoffed.

41 Mocked were (many) messenger before thee; But their scoffers were hemmed in by the thing that they mocked.

41 Walaqadi istuhzia birusulin min qablika fahaqa biallatheena sakhiroo minhum ma kanoo bihi yastahzioona

42 Say: Who guards you by night and by day from the Beneficent Allah? Nay, they turn aside at the mention of their Lord.

42 Say: "Who can keep you safe by night and by day from (the Wrath of) (Allah) Most Gracious?" Yet they turn away from the mention of their Lord.

42 Qul man yaklaokum biallayli waalnnahari mina alrrahmani bal hum AAan thikri rabbihim muAAridoona

43 Or, have they gods who can defend them against Us? They shall not be able to assist themselves, nor shall they be defended from Us.

43 Or have they gods that can guard them from Us? They have no power to aid themselves, nor can they be defended from Us.

43 Am lahum alihatun tamnaAAuhum min doonina la yastateeAAoona nasra anfusihim wala hum minna yushaboona

44 Nay, We gave provision to these and their fathers until life was prolonged to them. Do they not then see that We are visiting the land, curtailing it of its sides? Shall they then prevail?

44 Nay, We gave the good things of this life to these men and their fathers until the period grew long for them; See they not that We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will win?

44 Bal mattaAAna haolai waabaahum hatta tala AAalayhimu alAAumuru afala yarawna anna natee alarda nanqusuha min atrafiha afahumu alghaliboona

45 Say: I warn you only by revelation; and the deaf do not hear the call whenever they are warned.

45 Say, "I do but warn you according to revelation": But the deaf will not hear the call, (even) when they are warned!

45 Qul innama onthirukum bialwahyi wala yasmaAAu alssummu aldduAAaa itha ma yuntharoona

46 And if a blast of the chastisement of your Lord were to touch them, they will certainly say: O woe to us! surely we were unjust.

46 If but a breath of the Wrath of thy Lord do touch them, they will then say, "Woe to us! we did wrong indeed!"

46 Walain massathum nafhatun min AAathabi rabbika layaqoolunna ya waylana inna kunna thalimeena

47 And We will set up a just balance on the day of resurrection, so no soul shall be dealt with unjustly in the least; and though there be the weight of a grain of mustard seed, (yet) will We bring it, and sufficient are We to take account.

47 We shall set up scales of justice for the Day of Judgment, so that not a soul will be dealt with unjustly in the least, and if there be (no more than) the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it (to account): and enough are We to take account.

47 WanadaAAu almawazeena alqista liyawmi alqiyamati fala tuthlamu nafsun shayan wain kana mithqala habbatin min khardalin atayna biha wakafa bina hasibeena

48 And certainly We gave to Musa and Haroun the Furqan and a light and a reminder for those who would guard (against evil).

48 In the past We granted to Moses and Aaron the criterion (for judgment), and a Light and a Message for those who would do right, -

48 Walaqad atayna moosa waharoona alfurqana wadiyaan wathikran lilmuttaqeena

49 (For) those who fear their Lord in secret and they are fearful of the hour.

49 Those who fear their Lord in their most secret thoughts, and who hold the Hour (of Judgment) in awe.

49 Allatheena yakhshawna rabbahum bialghaybi wahum mina alssaAAati mushfiqoona

50 And this is a blessed Reminder which We have revealed; will you then deny it?

50 And this is a blessed Message which We have sent down: will ye then reject it?

50 Wahatha thikrun mubarakun anzalnahu afaantum lahu munkiroona

51 And certainly We gave to Ibrahim his rectitude before, and We knew him fully well.

51 We bestowed aforetime on Abraham his rectitude of conduct, and well were We acquainted with him.

51 Walaqad atayna ibraheema rushdahu min qablu wakunna bihi AAalimeena

52 When he said to his father and his people: What are these images to whose worship you cleave?

52 Behold! he said to his father and his people, "What are these images, to which ye are (so assiduously) devoted?"

52 Ith qala liabeehi waqawmihi ma hathihi alttamatheelu allatee antum laha AAakifoona

53 They said: We found our fathers worshipping them.

53 They said, "We found our fathers worshipping them."

53 Qaloo wajadna abaana laha AAabideena

54 He said: Certainly you have been, (both) you and your fathers, in manifest error.

54 He said, "Indeed ye have been in manifest error - ye and your fathers."

54 Qala laqad kuntum antum waabaokum fee dalalin mubeenin

55 They said: Have you brought to us the truth, or are you one of the triflers?

55 They said, "Have you brought us the Truth, or are you one of those who jest?"

55 Qaloo ajitana bialhaqqi am anta mina allaAAibeena

56 He said: Nay! your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who brought them into existence, and I am of those who bear witness to this:

56 He said, "Nay, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, He Who created them (from nothing): and I am a witness to this (Truth).

56 Qala bal rabbukum rabbu alssamawati waalardi allathee fatarahunna waana AAala thalikum mina alshshahideena

57 And, by Allah! I will certainly do something against your idols after you go away, turning back.

57 "And by Allah, I have a plan for your idols - after ye go away and turn your backs"..

57 WataAllahi laakeedanna asnamakum baAAda an tuwalloo mudbireena

58 So he broke them into pieces, except the chief of them, that haply they may return to it.

58 So he broke them to pieces, (all) but the biggest of them, that they might turn (and address themselves) to it.

58 FajaAAalahum juthathan illa kabeeran lahum laAAallahum ilayhi yarjiAAoona

59 They said: Who has done this to our gods? Most surely he is one of the unjust.

59 They said, "Who has done this to our gods? He must indeed be some man of impiety!"

59 Qaloo man faAAala hatha bialihatina innahu lamina alththalimeena

60 They said: We heard a youth called Ibrahim speak of them.

60 They said, "We heard a youth talk of them: He is called Abraham."

60 Qaloo samiAAna fatan yathkuruhum yuqalu lahu ibraheemu

61 Said they: Then bring him before the eyes of the people, perhaps they may bear witness.

61 They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people, that they may bear witness."

61 Qaloo fatoo bihi AAala aAAyuni alnnasi laAAallahum yashhadoona

62 They said: Have you done this to our gods, O Ibrahim?

62 They said, "Art thou the one that did this with our gods, O Abraham?"

62 Qaloo aanta faAAalta hatha bialihatina ya ibraheemu

63 He said: Surely (some doer) has done it; the chief of them is this, therefore ask them, if they can speak.

63 He said: "Nay, this was done by - this is their biggest one! ask them, if they can speak intelligently!"

63 Qala bal faAAalahu kabeeruhum hatha faisaloohum in kanoo yantiqoona

64 Then they turned to themselves and said: Surely you yourselves are the unjust;

64 So they turned to themselves and said, "Surely ye are the ones in the wrong!"

64 FarajaAAoo ila anfusihim faqaloo innakum antumu alththalimoona

65 Then they were made to hang down their heads: Certainly you know that they do not speak.

65 Then were they confounded with shame: (they said), "Thou knowest full well that these (idols) do not speak!"

65 Thumma nukisoo AAala ruoosihim laqad AAalimta ma haolai yantiqoona

66 He said: What! do you then serve besides Allah what brings you not any benefit at all, nor does it harm you?

66 (Abraham) said, "Do ye then worship, besides Allah, things that can neither be of any good to you nor do you harm?

66 Qala afataAAbudoona min dooni Allahi ma la yanfaAAukum shayan wala yadurrukum

67 Fie on you and on what you serve besides Allah; what! do you not then understand?

67 "Fie upon you, and upon the things that ye worship besides Allah! Have ye no sense?"..

67 Offin lakum walima taAAbudoona min dooni Allahi afala taAAqiloona

68 They said: Burn him and help your gods, if you are going to do (anything).

68 They said, "Burn him and protect your gods, If ye do (anything at all)!"

68 Qaloo harriqoohu waonsuroo alihatakum in kuntum faAAileena

69 We said: O fire! be a comfort and peace to Ibrahim;

69 We said, "O Fire! be thou cool, and (a means of) safety for Abraham!"

69 Qulna ya naru koonee bardan wasalaman AAala ibraheema

70 And they desired a war on him, but We made them the greatest losers.

70 Then they sought a stratagem against him: but We made them the ones that lost most!

70 Waaradoo bihi kaydan fajaAAalnahumu alakhsareena

71 And We delivered him as well as Lut (removing them) to the land which We had blessed for all people.

71 But We delivered him and (his nephew) Lut (and directed them) to the land which We have blessed for the nations.

71 Wanajjaynahu walootan ila alardi allatee barakna feeha lilAAalameena

72 And We gave him Ishaq and Yaqoub, a son's son, and We made (them) all good.

72 And We bestowed on him Isaac and, as an additional gift, (a grandson), Jacob, and We made righteous men of every one (of them).

72 Wawahabna lahu ishaqa wayaAAqooba nafilatan wakullan jaAAalna saliheena

73 And We made them Imams who guided (people) by Our command, and We revealed to them the doing of good and the keeping up of prayer and the giving of the alms, and Us (alone) did they serve;

73 And We made them leaders, guiding (men) by Our Command, and We sent them inspiration to do good deeds, to establish regular prayers, and to practise regular charity; and they constantly served Us (and Us only).

73 WajaAAalnahum aimmatan yahdoona biamrina waawhayna ilayhim fiAAla alkhayrati waiqama alssalati waeetaa alzzakati wakanoo lana AAabideena

74 And (as for) Lut, We gave him wisdom and knowledge, and We delivered him from the town which wrought abominations; surely they were an evil people, transgressors;

74 And to Lut, too, We gave Judgment and Knowledge, and We saved him from the town which practised abominations: truly they were a people given to Evil, a rebellious people.

74 Walootan ataynahu hukman waAAilman wanajjaynahu mina alqaryati allatee kanat taAAmalu alkhabaitha innahum kanoo qawma sawin fasiqeena

75 And We took him into Our mercy; surely he was of the good.

75 And We admitted him to Our Mercy: for he was one of the Righteous.

75 Waadkhalnahu fee rahmatina innahu mina alssaliheena

76 And Nuh, when he cried aforetime, so We answered him, and delivered him and his followers from the great calamity.

76 (Remember) Noah, when he cried (to Us) aforetime: We listened to his (prayer) and delivered him and his family from great distress.

76 Wanoohan ith nada min qablu faistajabna lahu fanajjaynahu waahlahu mina alkarbi alAAatheemi

77 And We helped him against the people who rejected Our communications; surely they were an evil people, so We drowned them all.

77 We helped him against people who rejected Our Signs: truly they were a people given to Evil: so We drowned them (in the Flood) all together.

77 Wanasarnahu mina alqawmi allatheena kaththaboo biayatina innahum kanoo qawma sawin faaghraqnahum ajmaAAeena

78 And Dawood and Sulaiman when they gave judgment concerning the field when the people's sheep pastured therein by night, and We were bearers of witness to their judgment.

78 And remember David and Solomon, when they gave judgment in the matter of the field into which the sheep of certain people had strayed by night: We did witness their judgment.

78 Wadawooda wasulaymana ith yahkumani fee alharthi ith nafashat feehi ghanamu alqawmi wakunna lihukmihim shahideena

79 So We made Sulaiman to understand it; and to each one We gave wisdom and knowledge; and We made the mountains, and the birds to celebrate Our praise with Dawood; and We were the doers.

79 To Solomon We inspired the (right) understanding of the matter: to each (of them) We gave Judgment and Knowledge; it was Our power that made the hills and the birds celebrate Our praises, with David: it was We Who did (all these things).

79 Fafahhamnaha sulaymana wakullan atayna hukman waAAilman wasakhkharna maAAa dawooda aljibala yusabbihna waalttayra wakunna faAAileena

80 And We taught him the making of coats of mail for you, that they might protect you in your wars; will you then be grateful?

80 It was We Who taught him the making of coats of mail for your benefit, to guard you from each other's violence: will ye then be grateful?

80 WaAAallamnahu sanAAata laboosin lakum lituhsinakum min basikum fahal antum shakiroona

81 And (We made subservient) to Sulaiman the wind blowing violent, pursuing its course by his command to the land which We had blessed, and We are knower of all things.

81 (It was Our power that made) the violent (unruly) wind flow (tamely) for Solomon, to his order, to the land which We had blessed: for We do know all things.

81 Walisulaymana alrreeha AAasifatan tajree biamrihi ila alardi allatee barakna feeha wakunna bikulli shayin AAalimeena

82 And of the rebellious people there were those who dived for him and did other work besides that, and We kept guard over them;

82 And of the evil ones, were some who dived for him, and did other work besides; and it was We Who guarded them.

82 Wamina alshshayateeni man yaghoosoona lahu wayaAAmaloona AAamalan doona thalika wakunna lahum hafitheena

83 And Ayub, when he cried to his Lord, (saying): Harm has afflicted me, and Thou art the most Merciful of the merciful.

83 And (remember) Job, when He cried to his Lord, "Truly distress has seized me, but Thou art the Most Merciful of those that are merciful."

83 Waayyooba ith nada rabbahu annee massaniya alddurru waanta arhamu alrrahimeena

90 So We listened to him: and We granted him Yahya: We cured his wife's (Barrenness) for him. These (three) were ever quick in emulation in good works; they used to call on Us with love and reverence, and humble themselves before Us.

90 Faistajabna lahu wawahabna lahu yahya waaslahna lahu zawjahu innahum kanoo yusariAAoona fee alkhayrati wayadAAoonana raghaban warahaban wakanoo lana khashiAAeena

96 Even when Gog and Magog are let loose and they shall break forth from every elevated place.

96 Until the Gog and Magog (people) are let through (their barrier), and they swiftly swarm from every hill.
