Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"
Falamma aslama watallahu liljabeeni
فلما أسلما وتله للجبين
فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُ لِلْجَبِينِ
So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),
Wanadaynahu an ya ibraheemu
وناديناه أن يا إبراهيم
وَنَادَيْنَاهُ أَن يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ
We called out to him "O Abraham!
Qad saddaqta alrruya inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena
قد صدقت الرؤيا ۚ إنا كذلك نجزي المحسنين
قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ الرُّؤْيَا ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ
"Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
Inna hatha lahuwa albalao almubeenu
إن هذا لهو البلاء المبين
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ الْبَلَاءُ الْمُبِينُ
For this was obviously a trial -
Wafadaynahu bithibhin AAatheemin
وفديناه بذبح عظيم
وَفَدَيْنَاهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ
And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:
Watarakna AAalayhi fee alakhireena
وتركنا عليه في الآخرين
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
Salamun AAala ibraheema
سلام على إبراهيم
سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
"Peace and salutation to Abraham!"
Kathalika najzee almuhsineena
كذلك نجزي المحسنين
كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
Innahu min AAibadina almumineena
إنه من عبادنا المؤمنين
إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
For he was one of our believing Servants.
Wabashsharnahu biishaqa nabiyyan mina alssaliheena
وبشرناه بإسحاق نبيا من الصالحين
وَبَشَّرْنَاهُ بِإِسْحَاقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ الصَّالِحِينَ
And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet, - one of the Righteous.
Wabarakna AAalayhi waAAala ishaqa wamin thurriyyatihima muhsinun wathalimun linafsihi mubeenun
وباركنا عليه وعلى إسحاق ۚ ومن ذريتهما محسن وظالم لنفسه مبين
وَبَارَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰ إِسْحَاقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِ مُبِينٌ
We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.
Walaqad mananna AAala moosa waharoona
ولقد مننا على موسى وهارون
وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ
Again (of old) We bestowed Our favour on Moses and Aaron,
Wanajjaynahuma waqawmahuma mina alkarbi alAAatheemi
ونجيناهما وقومهما من الكرب العظيم
وَنَجَّيْنَاهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ
And We delivered them and their people from (their) Great Calamity;
Wanasarnahum fakanoo humu alghalibeena
ونصرناهم فكانوا هم الغالبين
وَنَصَرْنَاهُمْ فَكَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ
And We helped them, so they overcame (their troubles);
Waataynahuma alkitaba almustabeena
وآتيناهما الكتاب المستبين
وَآتَيْنَاهُمَا الْكِتَابَ الْمُسْتَبِينَ
And We gave them the Book which helps to make things clear;
Wahadaynahuma alssirata almustaqeema
وهديناهما الصراط المستقيم
وَهَدَيْنَاهُمَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ
And We guided them to the Straight Way.
Watarakna AAalayhima fee alakhireena
وتركنا عليهما في الآخرين
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِي الْآخِرِينَ
And We left (this blessing) for them among generations (to come) in later times:
Salamun AAala moosa waharoona
سلام على موسى وهارون
سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ
"Peace and salutation to Moses and Aaron!"
Inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena
إنا كذلك نجزي المحسنين
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
Innahuma min AAibadina almumineena
إنهما من عبادنا المؤمنين
إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
For they were two of our believing Servants.
Wainna ilyasa lamina almursaleena
وإن إلياس لمن المرسلين
وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
So also was Elias among those sent (by Us).
Ith qala liqawmihi ala tattaqoona
إذ قال لقومه ألا تتقون
إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
Behold, he said to his people, "Will ye not fear (Allah)?
AtadAAoona baAAlan watatharoona ahsana alkhaliqeena
أتدعون بعلا وتذرون أحسن الخالقين
أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ الْخَالِقِينَ
"Will ye call upon Baal and forsake the Best of Creators, -
Allaha rabbakum warabba abaikumu alawwaleena
الله ربكم ورب آبائكم الأولين
اللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
"Allah, your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
Fakaththaboohu fainnahum lamuhdaroona
فكذبوه فإنهم لمحضرون
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment), -
Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena
إلا عباد الله المخلصين
إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ
Except the sincere and devoted Servants of Allah (among them).
Watarakna AAalayhi fee alakhireena
وتركنا عليه في الآخرين
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
Salamun AAala il yaseena
سلام على إل ياسين
سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ إِلْ يَاسِينَ
"Peace and salutation to such as Elias!"
Inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena
إنا كذلك نجزي المحسنين
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
Innahu min AAibadina almumineena
إنه من عبادنا المؤمنين
إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
For he was one of our believing Servants.
Wainna lootan lamina almursaleena
وإن لوطا لمن المرسلين
وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَّمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
So also was Lut among those sent (by Us).
Ith najjaynahu waahlahu ajmaAAeena
إذ نجيناه وأهله أجمعين
إِذْ نَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ
Behold, We delivered him and his adherents, all
Illa AAajoozan fee alghabireena
إلا عجوزا في الغابرين
إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِينَ
Except an old woman who was among those who lagged behind:
Thumma dammarna alakhareena
ثم دمرنا الآخرين
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْآخَرِينَ
Then We destroyed the rest.
Wainnakum latamurroona AAalayhim musbiheena
وإنكم لتمرون عليهم مصبحين
وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ
Verily, ye pass by their (sites), by day -
Wabiallayli afala taAAqiloona
وبالليل ۗ أفلا تعقلون
وَبِاللَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
And by night: will ye not understand?
Wainna yoonusa lamina almursaleena
وإن يونس لمن المرسلين
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
So also was Jonah among those sent (by Us).
Ith abaqa ila alfulki almashhooni
إذ أبق إلى الفلك المشحون
إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ
When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden,
Fasahama fakana mina almudhadeena
فساهم فكان من المدحضين
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُدْحَضِينَ
He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned:
Failtaqamahu alhootu wahuwa muleemun
فالتقمه الحوت وهو مليم
فَالْتَقَمَهُ الْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ
Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.
Falawla annahu kana mina almusabbiheena
فلولا أنه كان من المسبحين
فَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُسَبِّحِينَ
Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,
Lalabitha fee batnihi ila yawmi yubAAathoona
للبث في بطنه إلى يوم يبعثون
لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطْنِهِ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.
Fanabathnahu bialAAarai wahuwa saqeemun
۞ فنبذناه بالعراء وهو سقيم
۞ فَنَبَذْنَاهُ بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ
But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness,
Waanbatna AAalayhi shajaratan min yaqteenin
وأنبتنا عليه شجرة من يقطين
وَأَنبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ
And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind.
Waarsalnahu ila miati alfin aw yazeedoona
وأرسلناه إلى مائة ألف أو يزيدون
وَأَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَىٰ مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ
And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more.
Faamanoo famattaAAnahum ila heenin
فآمنوا فمتعناهم إلى حين
فَآمَنُوا فَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ
And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.
Faistaftihim alirabbika albanatu walahumu albanoona
فاستفتهم ألربك البنات ولهم البنون
فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ الْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ الْبَنُونَ
Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons? -
Am khalaqna almalaikata inathan wahum shahidoona
أم خلقنا الملائكة إناثا وهم شاهدون
أَمْ خَلَقْنَا الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِنَاثًا وَهُمْ شَاهِدُونَ
Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?
Ala innahum min ifkihim layaqooloona
ألا إنهم من إفكهم ليقولون
أَلَا إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ
Is it not that they say, from their own invention,
Walada Allahu wainnahum lakathiboona
ولد الله وإنهم لكاذبون
وَلَدَ اللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ
"Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars!
Astafa albanati AAala albaneena
أصطفى البنات على البنين
أَصْطَفَى الْبَنَاتِ عَلَى الْبَنِينَ
Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons?
Ma lakum kayfa tahkumoona
ما لكم كيف تحكمون
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
What is the matter with you? How judge ye?
Afala tathakkaroona
أفلا تذكرون
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Will ye not then receive admonition?
Am lakum sultanun mubeenun
أم لكم سلطان مبين
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَانٌ مُّبِينٌ
Or have ye an authority manifest?
Fatoo bikitabikum in kuntum sadiqeena
فأتوا بكتابكم إن كنتم صادقين
فَأْتُوا بِكِتَابِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
Then bring ye your Book (of authority) if ye be truthful!
WajaAAaloo baynahu wabayna aljinnati nasaban walaqad AAalimati aljinnatu innahum lamuhdaroona
وجعلوا بينه وبين الجنة نسبا ۚ ولقد علمت الجنة إنهم لمحضرون
وَجَعَلُوا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
And they have invented a blood - relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment - Seat)!
Subhana Allahi AAamma yasifoona
سبحان الله عما يصفون
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the things they ascribe (to Him)!
Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena
إلا عباد الله المخلصين
إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ
Not (so do) the Servants of Allah, sincere and devoted.
Fainnakum wama taAAbudoona
فإنكم وما تعبدون
فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ
For, verily, neither ye nor those ye worship -
Ma antum AAalayhi bifatineena
ما أنتم عليه بفاتنين
مَا أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِنِينَ
Can lead (any) into temptation concerning Allah,
Illa man huwa sali aljaheemi
إلا من هو صال الجحيم
إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ الْجَحِيمِ
Except such as are (themselves) going to the blazing Fire!
Wama minna illa lahu maqamun maAAloomun
وما منا إلا له مقام معلوم
وَمَا مِنَّا إِلَّا لَهُ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ
(Those ranged in ranks say): "Not one of us but has a place appointed;
Wainna lanahnu alssaffoona
وإنا لنحن الصافون
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الصَّافُّونَ
"And we are verily ranged in ranks (for service);
Wainna lanahnu almusabbihoona
وإنا لنحن المسبحون
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْمُسَبِّحُونَ
"And we are verily those who declare (Allah's) glory!"
Wain kanoo layaqooloona
وإن كانوا ليقولون
وَإِن كَانُوا لَيَقُولُونَ
And there were those who said,
Law anna AAindana thikran mina alawwaleena
لو أن عندنا ذكرا من الأولين
لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ
"If only we had had before us a Message from those of old,
Lakunna AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena
لكنا عباد الله المخلصين
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ
"We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!"
Fakafaroo bihi fasawfa yaAAlamoona
فكفروا به ۖ فسوف يعلمون
فَكَفَرُوا بِهِ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
But (now that the Qur'an has come), they reject it: But soon will they know!
Walaqad sabaqat kalimatuna liAAibadina almursaleena
ولقد سبقت كلمتنا لعبادنا المرسلين
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا الْمُرْسَلِينَ
Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us),
Innahum lahumu almansooroona
إنهم لهم المنصورون
إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ الْمَنصُورُونَ
That they would certainly be assisted,
Wainna jundana lahumu alghaliboona
وإن جندنا لهم الغالبون
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ
And that Our forces, - they surely must conquer.
Fatawalla AAanhum hatta heenin
فتول عنهم حتى حين
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
Waabsirhum fasawfa yubsiroona
وأبصرهم فسوف يبصرون
وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
And watch them (how they fare), and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
AfabiAAathabina yastaAAjiloona
أفبعذابنا يستعجلون
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment?
Faitha nazala bisahatihim fasaa sabahu almunthareena
فإذا نزل بساحتهم فساء صباح المنذرين
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَاءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنذَرِينَ
But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)!
Watawalla AAanhum hatta heenin
وتول عنهم حتى حين
وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
Waabsir fasawfa yubsiroona
وأبصر فسوف يبصرون
وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
And watch (how they fare) and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
Subhana rabbika rabbi alAAizzati AAamma yasifoona
سبحان ربك رب العزة عما يصفون
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)!
Wasalamun AAala almursaleena
وسلام على المرسلين
وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ
And Peace on the messengers!
Waalhamdu lillahi rabbi alAAalameena
والحمد لله رب العالمين
وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
And Praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.
