Al Muminun

1 Qad aflaha almuminoona

1 Certainly will the believers have succeeded:

2 Allatheena hum fee salatihim khashiAAoona

2 They who are during their prayer humbly submissive

3 Waallatheena hum AAani allaghwi muAAridoona

3 And they who turn away from ill speech

4 Waallatheena hum lilzzakati faAAiloona

4 And they who are observant of zakah

5 Waallatheena hum lifuroojihim hafithoona

5 And they who guard their private parts

6 Illa AAala azwajihim aw ma malakat aymanuhum fainnahum ghayru maloomeena

6 Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed -

7 Famani ibtagha waraa thalika faolaika humu alAAadoona

7 But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -

8 Waallatheena hum liamanatihim waAAahdihim raAAoona

8 And they who are to their trusts and their promises attentive

9 Waallatheena hum AAala salawatihim yuhafithoona

9 And they who carefully maintain their prayers -

10 Olaika humu alwarithoona

10 Those are the inheritors

11 Allatheena yarithoona alfirdawsa hum feeha khalidoona

11 Who will inherit al - Firdaus. They will abide therein eternally.

12 Walaqad khalaqna alinsana min sulalatin min teenin

12 And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay.

13 Thumma jaAAalnahu nutfatan fee qararin makeenin

13 Then We placed him as a sperm - drop in a firm lodging.

14 Thumma khalaqna alnnutfata AAalaqatan fakhalaqna alAAalaqata mudghatan fakhalaqna almudghata AAithaman fakasawna alAAithama lahman thumma anshanahu khalqan akhara fatabaraka Allahu ahsanu alkhaliqeena

14 Then We made the sperm - drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators.

15 Thumma innakum baAAda thalika lamayyitoona

15 Then indeed, after that you are to die.

16 Thumma innakum yawma alqiyamati tubAAathoona

16 Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, will be resurrected.

17 Walaqad khalaqna fawqakum sabAAa taraiqa wama kunna AAani alkhalqi ghafileena

17 And We have created above you seven layered heavens, and never have We been of [Our] creation unaware.

18 Waanzalna mina alssamai maan biqadarin faaskannahu fee alardi wainna AAala thahabin bihi laqadiroona

18 And We have sent down rain from the sky in a measured amount and settled it in the earth. And indeed, We are Able to take it away.

19 Faanshana lakum bihi jannatin min nakheelin waaAAnabin lakum feeha fawakihu katheeratun waminha takuloona

19 And We brought forth for you thereby gardens of palm trees and grapevines in which for you are abundant fruits and from which you eat.

20 Washajaratan takhruju min toori saynaa tanbutu bialdduhni wasibghin lilakileena

20 And [We brought forth] a tree issuing from Mount Sinai which produces oil and food for those who eat.

21 Wainna lakum fee alanAAami laAAibratan nusqeekum mimma fee butooniha walakum feeha manafiAAu katheeratun waminha takuloona

21 And indeed, for you in livestock is a lesson. We give you drink from that which is in their bellies, and for you in them are numerous benefits, and from them you eat.

22 WaAAalayha waAAala alfulki tuhmaloona

22 And upon them and on ships you are carried.

23 Walaqad arsalna noohan ila qawmihi faqala ya qawmi oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoona

23 And We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"

24 Faqala almalao allatheena kafaroo min qawmihi ma hatha illa basharun mithlukum yureedu an yatafaddala AAalaykum walaw shaa Allahu laanzala malaikatan ma samiAAna bihatha fee abaina alawwaleena

24 But the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, "This is not but a man like yourselves who wishes to take precedence over you; and if Allah had willed [to send a messenger], He would have sent down angels. We have not heard of this among our forefathers.

25 In huwa illa rajulun bihi jinnatun fatarabbasoo bihi hatta heenin

25 He is not but a man possessed with madness, so wait concerning him for a time."

26 Qala rabbi onsurnee bima kaththabooni

26 [Noah] said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me."

27 Faawhayna ilayhi ani isnaAAi alfulka biaAAyunina wawahyina faitha jaa amruna wafara alttannooru faosluk feeha min kullin zawjayni ithnayni waahlaka illa man sabaqa AAalayhi alqawlu minhum wala tukhatibnee fee allatheena thalamoo innahum mughraqoona

27 So We inspired to him, "Construct the ship under Our observation, and Our inspiration, and when Our command comes and the oven overflows, put into the ship from each [creature] two mates and your family, except those for whom the decree [of destruction] has proceeded. And do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are to be drowned.

28 Faitha istawayta anta waman maAAaka AAala alfulki faquli alhamdu lillahi allathee najjana mina alqawmi alththalimeena

28 And when you have boarded the ship, you and those with you, then say, 'Praise to Allah who has saved us from the wrongdoing people.'

29 Waqul rabbi anzilnee munzalan mubarakan waanta khayru almunzileena

29 And say, 'My Lord, let me land at a blessed landing place, and You are the best to accommodate [us].' "

30 Inna fee thalika laayatin wain kunna lamubtaleena

30 Indeed in that are signs, and indeed, We are ever testing [Our servants].

31 Thumma anshana min baAAdihim qarnan akhareena

31 Then We produced after them a generation of others.

32 Faarsalna feehim rasoolan minhum ani oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoona

32 And We sent among them a messenger from themselves, [saying], "Worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"

33 Waqala almalao min qawmihi allatheena kafaroo wakaththaboo biliqai alakhirati waatrafnahum fee alhayati alddunya ma hatha illa basharun mithlukum yakulu mimma takuloona minhu wayashrabu mimma tashraboona

33 And the eminent among his people who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter while We had given them luxury in the worldly life said, "This is not but a man like yourselves. He eats of that from which you eat and drinks of what you drink.

34 Walain ataAAtum basharan mithlakum innakum ithan lakhasiroona

34 And if you should obey a man like yourselves, indeed, you would then be losers.

35 AyaAAidukum annakum itha mittum wakuntum turaban waAAithaman annakum mukhrajoona

35 Does he promise you that when you have died and become dust and bones that you will be brought forth [once more]?

36 Hayhata hayhata lima tooAAadoona

36 How far, how far, is that which you are promised.

37 In hiya illa hayatuna alddunya namootu wanahya wama nahnu bimabAAootheena

37 Life is not but our worldly life - we die and live, but we will not be resurrected.

38 In huwa illa rajulun iftara AAala Allahi kathiban wama nahnu lahu bimumineena

38 He is not but a man who has invented a lie about Allah, and we will not believe him."

39 Qala rabbi onsurnee bima kaththabooni

39 He said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me."

40 Qala AAamma qaleelin layusbihunna nadimeena

40 [Allah] said, "After a little, they will surely become regretful."

41 Faakhathathumu alssayhatu bialhaqqi fajaAAalnahum ghuthaan fabuAAdan lilqawmi alththalimeena

41 So the shriek seized them in truth, and We made them as [plant] stubble. Then away with the wrongdoing people.

42 Thumma anshana min baAAdihim quroonan akhareena

42 Then We produced after them other generations.

43 Ma tasbiqu min ommatin ajalaha wama yastakhiroona

43 No nation will precede its time [of termination], nor will they remain [thereafter].

44 Thumma arsalna rusulana tatra kulla ma jaa ommatan rasooluha kaththaboohu faatbaAAna baAAdahum baAAdan wajaAAalnahum ahadeetha fabuAAdan liqawmin la yuminoona

44 Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation its messenger, they denied him, so We made them follow one another [to destruction], and We made them narrations. So away with a people who do not believe.

45 Thumma arsalna moosa waakhahu haroona biayatina wasultanin mubeenin

45 Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our signs and a clear authority

46 Ila firAAawna wamalaihi faistakbaroo wakanoo qawman AAaleena

46 To Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were arrogant and were a haughty people.

47 Faqaloo anuminu libasharayni mithlina waqawmuhuma lana AAabidoona

47 They said, "Should we believe two men like ourselves while their people are for us in servitude?"

48 Fakaththaboohuma fakanoo mina almuhlakeena

48 So they denied them and were of those destroyed.

49 Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba laAAallahum yahtadoona

49 And We certainly gave Moses the Scripture that perhaps they would be guided.

50 WajaAAalna ibna maryama waommahu ayatan waawaynahuma ila rabwatin thati qararin wamaAAeenin

50 And We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign and sheltered them within a high ground having level [areas] and flowing water.

51 Ya ayyuha alrrusulu kuloo mina alttayyibati waiAAmaloo salihan innee bima taAAmaloona AAaleemun

51 [Allah said], "O messengers, eat from the good foods and work righteousness. Indeed, I, of what you do, am Knowing.

52 Wainna hathihi ommatukum ommatan wahidatan waana rabbukum faittaqooni

52 And indeed this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so fear Me."

53 FataqattaAAoo amrahum baynahum zuburan kullu hizbin bima ladayhim farihoona

53 But the people divided their religion among them into sects - each faction, in what it has, rejoicing.

54 Fatharhum fee ghamratihim hatta heenin

54 So leave them in their confusion for a time.

55 Ayahsaboona annama numidduhum bihi min malin wabaneena

55 Do they think that what We extend to them of wealth and children

56 NusariAAu lahum fee alkhayrati bal la yashAAuroona

56 Is [because] We hasten for them good things? Rather, they do not perceive.

57 Inna allatheena hum min khashyati rabbihim mushfiqoona

57 Indeed, they who are apprehensive from fear of their Lord

58 Waallatheena hum biayati rabbihim yuminoona

58 And they who believe in the signs of their Lord

59 Waallatheena hum birabbihim la yushrikoona

59 And they who do not associate anything with their Lord

60 Waallatheena yutoona ma ataw waquloobuhum wajilatun annahum ila rabbihim rajiAAoona

60 And they who give what they give while their hearts are fearful because they will be returning to their Lord -

61 Olaika yusariAAoona fee alkhayrati wahum laha sabiqoona

61 It is those who hasten to good deeds, and they outstrip [others] therein.

62 Wala nukallifu nafsan illa wusAAaha waladayna kitabun yantiqu bialhaqqi wahum la yuthlamoona

62 And We charge no soul except [with that within] its capacity, and with Us is a record which speaks with truth; and they will not be wronged.

63 Bal quloobuhum fee ghamratin min hatha walahum aAAmalun min dooni thalika hum laha AAamiloona

63 But their hearts are covered with confusion over this, and they have [evil] deeds besides disbelief which they are doing,

64 Hatta itha akhathna mutrafeehim bialAAathabi itha hum yajaroona

64 Until when We seize their affluent ones with punishment, at once they are crying [to Allah] for help.

65 La tajaroo alyawma innakum minna la tunsaroona

65 Do not cry out today. Indeed, by Us you will not be helped.

66 Qad kanat ayatee tutla AAalaykum fakuntum AAala aAAqabikum tankisoona

66 My verses had already been recited to you, but you were turning back on your heels

67 Mustakbireena bihi samiran tahjuroona

67 In arrogance regarding it, conversing by night, speaking evil.

68 Afalam yaddabbaroo alqawla am jaahum ma lam yati abaahumu alawwaleena

68 Then have they not reflected over the Qur'an, or has there come to them that which had not come to their forefathers?

69 Am lam yaAArifoo rasoolahum fahum lahu munkiroona

69 Or did they not know their Messenger, so they are toward him disacknowledging?

70 Am yaqooloona bihi jinnatun bal jaahum bialhaqqi waaktharuhum lilhaqqi karihoona

70 Or do they say, "In him is madness?" Rather, he brought them the truth, but most of them, to the truth, are averse.

71 Walawi ittabaAAa alhaqqu ahwaahum lafasadati alssamawatu waalardu waman feehinna bal ataynahum bithikrihim fahum AAan thikrihim muAAridoona

71 But if the Truth had followed their inclinations, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been ruined. Rather, We have brought them their message, but they, from their message, are turning away.

72 Am tasaluhum kharjan fakharaju rabbika khayrun wahuwa khayru alrraziqeena

72 Or do you, [O Muhammad], ask them for payment? But the reward of your Lord is best, and He is the best of providers.

73 Wainnaka latadAAoohum ila siratin mustaqeemin

73 And indeed, you invite them to a straight path.

74 Wainna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati AAani alssirati lanakiboona

74 But indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are deviating from the path.

75 Walaw rahimnahum wakashafna ma bihim min durrin lalajjoo fee tughyanihim yaAAmahoona

75 And even if We gave them mercy and removed what was upon them of affliction, they would persist in their transgression, wandering blindly.

76 Walaqad akhathnahum bialAAathabi fama istakanoo lirabbihim wama yatadarraAAoona

76 And We had gripped them with suffering [as a warning], but they did not yield to their Lord, nor did they humbly supplicate, [and will continue thus]

77 Hatta itha fatahna AAalayhim baban tha AAathabin shadeedin itha hum feehi mublisoona

77 Until when We have opened before them a door of severe punishment, immediately they will be therein in despair.

78 Wahuwa allathee anshaa lakumu alssamAAa waalabsara waalafidata qaleelan ma tashkuroona

78 And it is He who produced for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful.

79 Wahuwa allathee tharaakum fee alardi wailayhi tuhsharoona

79 And it is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.

80 Wahuwa allathee yuhyee wayumeetu walahu ikhtilafu allayli waalnnahari afala taAAqiloona

80 And it is He who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of the night and the day. Then will you not reason?

81 Bal qaloo mithla ma qala alawwaloona

81 Rather, they say like what the former peoples said.

82 Qaloo aitha mitna wakunna turaban waAAithaman ainna lamabAAoothoona

82 They said, "When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

83 Laqad wuAAidna nahnu waabaona hatha min qablu in hatha illa asateeru alawwaleena

83 We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples."

84 Qul limani alardu waman feeha in kuntum taAAlamoona

84 Say, [O Muhammad], "To whom belongs the earth and whoever is in it, if you should know?"

85 Sayaqooloona lillahi qul afala tathakkaroona

85 They will say, "To Allah." Say, "Then will you not remember?"

86 Qul man rabbu alssamawati alssabAAi warabbu alAAarshi alAAatheemi

86 Say, "Who is Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne?"

87 Sayaqooloona lillahi qul afala tattaqoona

87 They will say, "[They belong] to Allah." Say, "Then will you not fear Him?"

88 Qul man biyadihi malakootu kulli shayin wahuwa yujeeru wala yujaru AAalayhi in kuntum taAAlamoona

88 Say, "In whose hand is the realm of all things - and He protects while none can protect against Him - if you should know?"

89 Sayaqooloona lillahi qul faanna tusharoona

89 They will say, "[All belongs] to Allah." Say, "Then how are you deluded?"

90 Bal ataynahum bialhaqqi wainnahum lakathiboona

90 Rather, We have brought them the truth, and indeed they are liars.

91 Ma ittakhatha Allahu min waladin wama kana maAAahu min ilahin ithan lathahaba kullu ilahin bima khalaqa walaAAala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin subhana Allahi AAamma yasifoona

91 Allah has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to overcome others. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him].

92 AAalimi alghaybi waalshshahadati fataAAala AAamma yushrikoona

92 [He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, so high is He above what they associate [with Him].

93 Qul rabbi imma turiyannee ma yooAAadoona

93 Say, [O Muhammad], "My Lord, if You should show me that which they are promised,

94 Rabbi fala tajAAalnee fee alqawmi alththalimeena

94 My Lord, then do not place me among the wrongdoing people."

95 Wainna AAala an nuriyaka ma naAAiduhum laqadiroona

95 And indeed, We are able to show you what We have promised them.

96 IdfaAA biallatee hiya ahsanu alssayyiata nahnu aAAlamu bima yasifoona

96 Repel, by [means of] what is best, [their] evil. We are most knowing of what they describe.

97 Waqul rabbi aAAoothu bika min hamazati alshshayateeni

97 And say, "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the incitements of the devils,

98 WaaAAoothu bika rabbi an yahdurooni

98 And I seek refuge in You, my Lord, lest they be present with me."

99 Hatta itha jaa ahadahumu almawtu qala rabbi irjiAAooni

99 [For such is the state of the disbelievers], until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "My Lord, send me back

100 LaAAallee aAAmalu salihan feema taraktu kalla innaha kalimatun huwa qailuha wamin waraihim barzakhun ila yawmi yubAAathoona

100 That I might do righteousness in that which I left behind." No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.

101 Faitha nufikha fee alssoori fala ansaba baynahum yawmaithin wala yatasaaloona

101 So when the Horn is blown, no relationship will there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one another.

102 Faman thaqulat mawazeenuhu faolaika humu almuflihoona

102 And those whose scales are heavy [with good deeds] - it is they who are the successful.

103 Waman khaffat mawazeenuhu faolaika allatheena khasiroo anfusahum fee jahannama khalidoona

103 But those whose scales are light - those are the ones who have lost their souls, [being] in Hell, abiding eternally.

104 Talfahu wujoohahumu alnnaru wahum feeha kalihoona

104 The Fire will sear their faces, and they therein will have taut smiles.

105 Alam takun ayatee tutla AAalaykum fakuntum biha tukaththiboona

105 [It will be said]. "Were not My verses recited to you and you used to deny them?"

106 Qaloo rabbana ghalabat AAalayna shiqwatuna wakunna qawman dalleena

106 They will say, "Our Lord, our wretchedness overcame us, and we were a people astray.

107 Rabbana akhrijna minha fain AAudna fainna thalimoona

107 Our Lord, remove us from it, and if we were to return [to evil], we would indeed be wrongdoers."

108 Qala ikhsaoo feeha wala tukallimooni

108 He will say, "Remain despised therein and do not speak to Me.

109 Innahu kana fareequn min AAibadee yaqooloona rabbana amanna faighfir lana wairhamna waanta khayru alrrahimeena

109 Indeed, there was a party of My servants who said, 'Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have mercy upon us, and You are the best of the merciful.'

110 Faittakhathtumoohum sikhriyyan hatta ansawkum thikree wakuntum minhum tadhakoona

110 But you took them in mockery to the point that they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them.

111 Innee jazaytuhumu alyawma bima sabaroo annahum humu alfaizoona

111 Indeed, I have rewarded them this Day for their patient endurance - that they are the attainers [of success]."

112 Qala kam labithtum fee alardi AAadada sineena

112 [Allah] will say, "How long did you remain on earth in number of years?"

113 Qaloo labithna yawman aw baAAda yawmin faisali alAAaddeena

113 They will say, "We remained a day or part of a day; ask those who enumerate."

114 Qala in labithtum illa qaleelan law annakum kuntum taAAlamoona

114 He will say, "You stayed not but a little - if only you had known.

115 Afahasibtum annama khalaqnakum AAabathan waannakum ilayna la turjaAAoona

115 Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?"

116 FataAAala Allahu almaliku alhaqqu la ilaha illa huwa rabbu alAAarshi alkareemi

116 So exalted is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne.

117 Waman yadAAu maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara la burhana lahu bihi fainnama hisabuhu AAinda rabbihi innahu la yuflihu alkafiroona

117 And whoever invokes besides Allah another deity for which he has no proof - then his account is only with his Lord. Indeed, the disbelievers will not succeed.

118 Waqul rabbi ighfir wairham waanta khayru alrrahimeena

118 And, [O Muhammad], say, "My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful."
