Al Hijr

1 Aliflamra tilka ayatu alkitabi waquranin mubeenin

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

2 Rubama yawaddu allatheena kafaroo law kanoo muslimeena

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

3 Tharhum yakuloo wayatamattaAAoo wayulhihimu alamalu fasawfa yaAAlamoona

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

4 Wama ahlakna min qaryatin illa walaha kitabun maAAloomun

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

5 Ma tasbiqu min ommatin ajalaha wama yastakhiroona

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

6 Waqaloo ya ayyuha allathee nuzzila AAalayhi alththikru innaka lamajnoonun

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

7 Law ma tateena bialmalaikati in kunta mina alssadiqeena

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

8 Ma nunazzilu almalaikata illa bialhaqqi wama kanoo ithan munthareena

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

9 Inna nahnu nazzalna alththikra wainna lahu lahafithoona

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

10 Walaqad arsalna min qablika fee shiyaAAi alawwaleena

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

11 Wama yateehim min rasoolin illa kanoo bihi yastahzioona

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

12 Kathalika naslukuhu fee quloobi almujrimeena

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

13 La yuminoona bihi waqad khalat sunnatu alawwaleena

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

14 Walaw fatahna AAalayhim baban mina alssamai fathalloo feehi yaAArujoona

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

15 Laqaloo innama sukkirat absaruna bal nahnu qawmun mashooroona

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

16 Walaqad jaAAalna fee alssamai buroojan wazayyannaha lilnnathireena

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

17 Wahafithnaha min kulli shaytanin rajeemin

17 And We guard it against every accursed Shaitan,

18 Illa mani istaraqa alssamAAa faatbaAAahu shihabun mubeenun

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

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

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.

20 WajaAAalna lakum feeha maAAayisha waman lastum lahu biraziqeena

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

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

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.

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

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.

23 Wainna lanahnu nuhyee wanumeetu wanahnu alwarithoona

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

24 Walaqad AAalimna almustaqdimeena minkum walaqad AAalimna almustakhireena

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

25 Wainna rabbaka huwa yahshuruhum innahu hakeemun AAaleemun

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

26 Walaqad khalaqna alinsana min salsalin min hamain masnoonin

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

27 Waaljanna khalaqnahu min qablu min nari alssamoomi

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

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

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.

29 Faitha sawwaytuhu wanafakhtu feehi min roohee faqaAAoo lahu sajideena

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

30 Fasajada almalaikatu kulluhum ajmaAAoona

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

31 Illa ibleesa aba an yakoona maAAa alssajideena

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

32 Qala ya ibleesu ma laka alla takoona maAAa alssajideena

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

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

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.

34 Qala faokhruj minha fainnaka rajeemun

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

35 Wainna AAalayka allaAAnata ila yawmi alddeeni

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

36 Qala rabbi faanthirnee ila yawmi yubAAathoona

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

37 Qala fainnaka mina almunthareena

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

38 Ila yawmi alwaqti almaAAloomi

38 Till the period of the time made known.

39 Qala rabbi bima aghwaytanee laozayyinanna lahum fee alardi walaoghwiyannahum ajmaAAeena

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

40 Illa AAibadaka minhumu almukhlaseena

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

41 Qala hatha siratun AAalayya mustaqeemun

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

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

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

43 Wainna jahannama lamawAAiduhum ajmaAAeena

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

44 Laha sabAAatu abwabin likulli babin minhum juzon maqsoomun

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

45 Inna almuttaqeena fee jannatin waAAuyoonin

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

46 Odkhulooha bisalamin amineena

46 Enter them in peace, secure.

47 WanazaAAna ma fee sudoorihim min ghillin ikhwanan AAala sururin mutaqabileena

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

48 La yamassuhum feeha nasabun wama hum minha bimukhrajeena

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

49 Nabbi AAibadee annee ana alghafooru alrraheemu

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

50 Wa anna AAathabee huwa alAAathabu alaleemu

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

51 Wanabbihum AAan dayfi ibraheema

51 And inform them of the guests of Ibrahim:

52 Ith dakhaloo AAalayhi faqaloo salaman qala inna minkum wajiloona

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

53 Qaloo la tawjal inna nubashshiruka bighulamin AAaleemin

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

54 Qala abashshartumoonee AAala an massaniya alkibaru fabima tubashshirooni

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!

55 Qaloo bashsharnaka bialhaqqi fala takun mina alqaniteena

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

56 Qala waman yaqnatu min rahmati rabbihi illa alddalloona

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

57 Qala fama khatbukum ayyuha almursaloona

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

58 Qaloo inna orsilna ila qawmin mujrimeena

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

59 Illa ala lootin inna lamunajjoohum ajmaAAeena

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

60 Illa imraatahu qaddarna innaha lamina alghabireena

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

61 Falamma jaa ala lootin almursaloona

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

62 Qala innakum qawmun munkaroona

62 He said: Surely you are an unknown people.

63 Qaloo bal jinaka bima kanoo feehi yamtaroona

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

64 Waataynaka bialhaqqi wainna lasadiqoona

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

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

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.

66 Waqadayna ilayhi thalika alamra anna dabira haolai maqtooAAun musbiheena

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

67 Wajaa ahlu almadeenati yastabshiroona

67 And the people of the town came rejoicing.

68 Qala inna haolai dayfee fala tafdahooni

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

69 Waittaqoo Allaha wala tukhzooni

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

70 Qaloo awalam nanhaka AAani alAAalameena

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

71 Qala haolai banatee in kuntum faAAileena

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

72 LaAAamruka innahum lafee sakratihim yaAAmahoona

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

73 Faakhathathumu alssayhatu mushriqeena

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

74 FajaAAalna AAaliyaha safilaha waamtarna AAalayhim hijaratan min sijjeelin

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

75 Inna fee thalika laayatin lilmutawassimeena

75 Surely in this are signs for those who examine.

76 Wainnaha labisabeelin muqeemin

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

77 Inna fee thalika laayatan lilmumineena

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

78 Wain kana ashabu alaykati lathalimeena

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

79 Faintaqamna minhum wainnahuma labiimamin mubeenin

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

80 Walaqad kaththaba ashabu alhijri almursaleena

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

81 Waataynahum ayatina fakanoo AAanha muAArideena

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

82 Wakanoo yanhitoona mina aljibali buyootan amineena

82 And they hewed houses in the mountains in security.

83 Faakhathathumu alssayhatu musbiheena

83 So the rumbling overtook them in the morning;

84 Fama aghna AAanhum ma kanoo yaksiboona

84 And what they earned did not avail them.

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

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.

86 Inna rabbaka huwa alkhallaqu alAAaleemu

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

87 Walaqad ataynaka sabAAan mina almathanee waalqurana alAAatheema

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

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

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.

89 Waqul innee ana alnnatheeru almubeenu

89 And say: Surely I am the plain warner.

90 Kama anzalna AAala almuqtasimeena

90 Like as We sent down on the dividers

91 Allatheena jaAAaloo alqurana AAideena

91 Those who made the Quran into shreds.

92 Fawarabbika lanasalannahum ajmaAAeena

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

93 AAamma kanoo yaAAmaloona

93 As to what they did.

94 FaisdaAA bima tumaru waaAArid AAani almushrikeena

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

95 Inna kafaynaka almustahzieena

95 Surely We will suffice you against the scoffers

96 Allatheena yajAAaloona maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara fasawfa yaAAlamoona

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

97 Walaqad naAAlamu annaka yadeequ sadruka bima yaqooloona

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

98 Fasabbih bihamdi rabbika wakun mina alssajideena

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

99 WaoAAbud rabbaka hatta yatiyaka alyaqeenu

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