Al Anabeeh

1 Iqtaraba lilnnasi hisabuhum wahum fee ghaflatin muAAridoona

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

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

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

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

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?

4 Qala rabbee yaAAlamu alqawla fee alssamai waalardi wahuwa alssameeAAu alAAaleemu

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

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

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).

6 Ma amanat qablahum min qaryatin ahlaknaha afahum yuminoona

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

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

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

8 Wama jaAAalnahum jasadan la yakuloona alttaAAama wama kanoo khalideena

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

9 Thumma sadaqnahumu alwaAAda faanjaynahum waman nashao waahlakna almusrifeena

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

10 Laqad anzalna ilaykum kitaban feehi thikrukum afala taAAqiloona

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

11 Wakam qasamna min qaryatin kanat thalimatan waanshana baAAdaha qawman akhareena

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

12 Falamma ahassoo basana itha hum minha yarkudoona

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

13 La tarkudoo wairjiAAoo ila ma otriftum feehi wamasakinikum laAAallakum tusaloona

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.

14 Qaloo ya waylana inna kunna thalimeena

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

15 Fama zalat tilka daAAwahum hatta jaAAalnahum haseedan khamideena

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

16 Wama khalaqna alssamaa waalarda wama baynahuma laAAibeena

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

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

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

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

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;

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

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.

20 Yusabbihoona allayla waalnnahara la yafturoona

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

21 Ami ittakhathoo alihatan mina alardi hum yunshiroona

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

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

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).

23 La yusalu AAamma yafAAalu wahum yusaloona

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

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

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.

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

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.

26 Waqaloo ittakhatha alrrahmanu waladan subhanahu bal AAibadun mukramoona

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

27 La yasbiqoonahu bialqawli wahum biamrihi yaAAmaloona

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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

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.

32 WajaAAalna alssamaa saqfan mahfoothan wahum AAan ayatiha muAAridoona

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

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

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.

34 Wama jaAAalna libasharin min qablika alkhulda afain mitta fahumu alkhalidoona

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

35 Kullu nafsin thaiqatu almawti wanablookum bialshsharri waalkhayri fitnatan wailayna turjaAAoona

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.

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

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.

37 Khuliqa alinsanu min AAajalin saoreekum ayatee fala tastaAAjiloona

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

38 Wayaqooloona mata hatha alwaAAdu in kuntum sadiqeena

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

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

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.

40 Bal tateehim baghtatan fatabhatuhum fala yastateeAAoona raddaha wala hum yuntharoona

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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?

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

48 Walaqad atayna moosa waharoona alfurqana wadiyaan wathikran lilmuttaqeena

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

49 Allatheena yakhshawna rabbahum bialghaybi wahum mina alssaAAati mushfiqoona

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

50 Wahatha thikrun mubarakun anzalnahu afaantum lahu munkiroona

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

51 Walaqad atayna ibraheema rushdahu min qablu wakunna bihi AAalimeena

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

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

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

53 Qaloo wajadna abaana laha AAabideena

53 They said: We found our fathers worshipping them.

54 Qala laqad kuntum antum waabaokum fee dalalin mubeenin

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

55 Qaloo ajitana bialhaqqi am anta mina allaAAibeena

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

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

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:

57 WataAllahi laakeedanna asnamakum baAAda an tuwalloo mudbireena

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

58 FajaAAalahum juthathan illa kabeeran lahum laAAallahum ilayhi yarjiAAoona

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

59 Qaloo man faAAala hatha bialihatina innahu lamina alththalimeena

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

60 Qaloo samiAAna fatan yathkuruhum yuqalu lahu ibraheemu

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

61 Qaloo fatoo bihi AAala aAAyuni alnnasi laAAallahum yashhadoona

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

62 Qaloo aanta faAAalta hatha bialihatina ya ibraheemu

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

63 Qala bal faAAalahu kabeeruhum hatha faisaloohum in kanoo yantiqoona

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

64 FarajaAAoo ila anfusihim faqaloo innakum antumu alththalimoona

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

65 Thumma nukisoo AAala ruoosihim laqad AAalimta ma haolai yantiqoona

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

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

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

67 Offin lakum walima taAAbudoona min dooni Allahi afala taAAqiloona

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

68 Qaloo harriqoohu waonsuroo alihatakum in kuntum faAAileena

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

69 Qulna ya naru koonee bardan wasalaman AAala ibraheema

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

70 Waaradoo bihi kaydan fajaAAalnahumu alakhsareena

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

71 Wanajjaynahu walootan ila alardi allatee barakna feeha lilAAalameena

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

72 Wawahabna lahu ishaqa wayaAAqooba nafilatan wakullan jaAAalna saliheena

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

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

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;

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

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;

75 Waadkhalnahu fee rahmatina innahu mina alssaliheena

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

80 WaAAallamnahu sanAAata laboosin lakum lituhsinakum min basikum fahal antum shakiroona

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?

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

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.

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

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;

83 Waayyooba ith nada rabbahu annee massaniya alddurru waanta arhamu alrrahimeena

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

84 Faistajabna lahu fakashafna ma bihi min durrin waataynahu ahlahu wamithlahum maAAahum rahmatan min AAindina wathikra lilAAabideena

84 Therefore We responded to him and took off what harm he had, and We gave him his family and the like of them with them: a mercy from Us and a reminder to the worshippers.

85 WaismaAAeela waidreesa watha alkifli kullun mina alssabireena

85 And Ismail and Idris and Zulkifl; all were of the patient ones;

86 Waadkhalnahum fee rahmatina innahum mina alssaliheena

86 And We caused them to enter into Our mercy, surely they were of the good ones.

87 Watha alnnooni ith thahaba mughadiban fathanna an lan naqdira AAalayhi fanada fee alththulumati an la ilaha illa anta subhanaka innee kuntu mina alththalimeena

87 And Yunus, when he went away in wrath, so he thought that We would not straiten him, so he called out among afflictions: There is no god but Thou, glory be to Thee; surely I am of those who make themselves to suffer loss.

88 Faistajabna lahu wanajjaynahu mina alghammi wakathalika nunjee almumineena

88 So We responded to him and delivered him from the grief and thus do We deliver the believers.

89 Wazakariyya ith nada rabbahu rabbi la tatharnee fardan waanta khayru alwaritheena

89 And Zakariya, when he cried to his Lord: O my Lord leave me not alone; and Thou art the best of inheritors.

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

90 So We responded to him and gave him Yahya and made his wife fit for him; surely they used to hasten, one with another In deeds of goodness and to call upon Us, hoping and fearing and they were humble before Us.

91 Waallatee ahsanat farjaha fanafakhna feeha min roohina wajaAAalnaha waibnaha ayatan lilAAalameena

91 And she who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into her of Our inspiration and made her and her son a sign for the nations.

92 Inna hathihi ommatukum ommatan wahidatan waana rabbukum faoAAbudooni

92 Surely this Islam is your religion, one religion (only), and I am your Lord, therefore serve Me.

93 WataqattaAAoo amrahum baynahum kullun ilayna rajiAAoona

93 And they broke their religion (into sects) between them: to Us shall all come back.

94 Faman yaAAmal mina alssalihati wahuwa muminun fala kufrana lisaAAyihi wainna lahu katiboona

94 Therefore whoever shall do of good deeds and he is a believer, there shall be no denying of his exertion, and surely We will write (It) down for him.

95 Waharamun AAala qaryatin ahlaknaha annahum la yarjiAAoona

95 And it is binding on a town which We destroy that they shall not return.

96 Hatta itha futihat yajooju wamajooju wahum min kulli hadabin yansiloona

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

97 Waiqtaraba alwaAAdu alhaqqu faitha hiya shakhisatun absaru allatheena kafaroo ya waylana qad kunna fee ghaflatin min hatha bal kunna thalimeena

97 And the true promise shall draw nigh, then lo! the eyes of those who disbelieved shall be fixedly open: O woe to us! surely we were in a state of heedlessness as to this; nay, we were unjust.

98 Innakum wama taAAbudoona min dooni Allahi hasabu jahannama antum laha waridoona

98 Surely you and what you worship besides Allah are the firewood of hell; to it you shall come.

99 Law kana haolai alihatan ma waradooha wakullun feeha khalidoona

99 Had these been gods, they would not have come to it and all shall abide therein.

100 Lahum feeha zafeerun wahum feeha la yasmaAAoona

100 For them therein shall be groaning and therein they shall not hear.

101 Inna allatheena sabaqat lahum minna alhusna olaika AAanha mubAAadoona

101 Surely (as for) those for whom the good has already gone forth from Us, they shall be kept far off from it;

102 La yasmaAAoona haseesaha wahum fee ma ishtahat anfusuhum khalidoona

102 They will not hear its faintest sound, and they shall abide in that which their souls long for.

103 La yahzunuhumu alfazaAAu alakbaru watatalaqqahumu almalaikatu hatha yawmukumu allathee kuntum tooAAadoona

103 The great fearful event shall not grieve them, and the angels shall meet them: This is your day which you were promised.

104 Yawma natwee alssamaa katayyi alssijlli lilkutubi kama badana awwala khalqin nuAAeeduhu waAAdan AAalayna inna kunna faAAileena

104 On the day when We will roll up heaven like the rolling up of the scroll for writings, as We originated the first creation, (so) We shall reproduce it; a promise (binding on Us); surely We will bring it about.

105 Walaqad katabna fee alzzaboori min baAAdi alththikri anna alarda yarithuha AAibadiya alssalihoona

105 And certainly We wrote in the Book after the reminder that (as for) the land, My righteous servants shall inherit it.

106 Inna fee hatha labalaghan liqawmin AAabideena

106 Most surely in this is a message to a people who serve

107 Wama arsalnaka illa rahmatan lilAAalameena

107 And We have not sent you but as a mercy to the worlds.

108 Qul innama yooha ilayya annama ilahukum ilahun wahidun fahal antum muslimoona

108 Say: It is only revealed to me that your Allah is one Allah; will you then submit?

109 Fain tawallaw faqul athantukum AAala sawain wain adree aqareebun am baAAeedun ma tooAAadoona

109 But if they turn back, say: I have given you warning in fairness and I do not know whether what you are threatened with is near or far;

110 Innahu yaAAlamu aljahra mina alqawli wayaAAlamu ma taktumoona

110 Surely He knows what is spoken openly and He knows what you hide;

111 Wain adree laAAallahu fitnatun lakum wamataAAun ila heenin

111 And I do not know if this may be a trial for you and a provision till a time.

112 Qala rabbi ohkum bialhaqqi warabbuna alrrahmanu almustaAAanu AAala ma tasifoona

112 He said: O my Lord! judge Thou with truth; and our Lord is the Beneficent Allah, Whose help is sought against what you ascribe (to Him).
