In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. indeed are the believers.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم قد أفلح المؤمنون
Qad aflaha almuminoona
Chapter 23, 118 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. indeed are the believers.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم قد أفلح المؤمنون
Qad aflaha almuminoona
Those who offer their Salat (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness.
الذين هم في صلاتهم خاشعون
Allatheena hum fee salatihim khashiAAoona
And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk, falsehood, and all that Allah has forbidden).
والذين هم عن اللغو معرضون
Waallatheena hum AAani allaghwi muAAridoona
And those who pay the Zakat.
والذين هم للزكاة فاعلون
Waallatheena hum lilzzakati faAAiloona
And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts)
والذين هم لفروجهم حافظون
Waallatheena hum lifuroojihim hafithoona
Except from their wives or (the slaves) that their right hands possess, - for then, they are free from blame;
إلا على أزواجهم أو ما ملكت أيمانهم فإنهم غير ملومين
Illa AAala azwajihim aw ma malakat aymanuhum fainnahum ghayru maloomeena
But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors;
فمن ابتغى وراء ذلك فأولئك هم العادون
Famani ibtagha waraa thalika faolaika humu alAAadoona
Those who are faithfully true to their Amanat (all the duties which Allah has ordained, honesty, moral responsibility and trusts) and to their covenants;
والذين هم لأماناتهم وعهدهم راعون
Waallatheena hum liamanatihim waAAahdihim raAAoona
And those who strictly guard their (five compulsory congregational) Salawat (prayers) (at their fixed stated hours).
والذين هم على صلواتهم يحافظون
Waallatheena hum AAala salawatihim yuhafithoona
These are indeed the inheritors
أولئك هم الوارثون
Olaika humu alwarithoona
Who shall inherit the Firdaus (Paradise). They shall dwell therein forever.
الذين يرثون الفردوس هم فيها خالدون
Allatheena yarithoona alfirdawsa hum feeha khalidoona
And indeed We created man (Adam) out of an extract of clay (water and earth).
ولقد خلقنا الإنسان من سلالة من طين
Walaqad khalaqna alinsana min sulalatin min teenin
Thereafter We made him (the offspring of Adam) as a Nutfah (mixed drops of the male and female sexual discharge and lodged it) in a safe lodging (womb of the woman).
ثم جعلناه نطفة في قرار مكين
Thumma jaAAalnahu nutfatan fee qararin makeenin
Then We made the Nutfah into a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood), then We made the clot into a little lump of flesh, then We made out of that little lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, and then We brought it forth as another creation. So Blessed is Allah, the Best of creators.
ثم خلقنا النطفة علقة فخلقنا العلقة مضغة فخلقنا المضغة عظاما فكسونا العظام لحما ثم أنشأناه خلقا آخر ۚ فتبارك الله أحسن الخالقين
Thumma khalaqna alnnutfata AAalaqatan fakhalaqna alAAalaqata mudghatan fakhalaqna almudghata AAithaman fakasawna alAAithama lahman thumma anshanahu khalqan akhara fatabaraka Allahu ahsanu alkhaliqeena
After that, surely, you will die.
ثم إنكم بعد ذلك لميتون
Thumma innakum baAAda thalika lamayyitoona
Then (again), surely, you will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection.
ثم إنكم يوم القيامة تبعثون
Thumma innakum yawma alqiyamati tubAAathoona
And indeed We have created above you seven heavens (one over the other), and We are never unaware of the creation.
ولقد خلقنا فوقكم سبع طرائق وما كنا عن الخلق غافلين
Walaqad khalaqna fawqakum sabAAa taraiqa wama kunna AAani alkhalqi ghafileena
And We sent down from the sky water (rain) in (due) measure, and We gave it lodging in the earth, and verily, We are Able to take it away.
وأنزلنا من السماء ماء بقدر فأسكناه في الأرض ۖ وإنا على ذهاب به لقادرون
Waanzalna mina alssamai maan biqadarin faaskannahu fee alardi wainna AAala thahabin bihi laqadiroona
Then We brought forth for you therewith gardens of date-palms and grapes, wherein is much fruit for you, and whereof you eat.
فأنشأنا لكم به جنات من نخيل وأعناب لكم فيها فواكه كثيرة ومنها تأكلون
Faanshana lakum bihi jannatin min nakheelin waaAAnabin lakum feeha fawakihu katheeratun waminha takuloona
And a tree (olive) that springs forth from Mount Sinai, that grows (produces) oil, and (it is a) relish for the eaters.
وشجرة تخرج من طور سيناء تنبت بالدهن وصبغ للآكلين
Washajaratan takhruju min toori saynaa tanbutu bialdduhni wasibghin lilakileena
And verily in the cattle there is indeed a lesson for you. We give you to drink (milk) of that which is in their bellies. And there are, in them, numerous (other) benefits for you, and of them you eat.
وإن لكم في الأنعام لعبرة ۖ نسقيكم مما في بطونها ولكم فيها منافع كثيرة ومنها تأكلون
Wainna lakum fee alanAAami laAAibratan nusqeekum mimma fee butooniha walakum feeha manafiAAu katheeratun waminha takuloona
And on them, and on ships you are carried.
وعليها وعلى الفلك تحملون
WaAAalayha waAAala alfulki tuhmaloona
And indeed We sent Nuh (Noah) to his people, and he said: "O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other Ilah (God) but Him (Islamic Monotheism). Will you not then be afraid (of Him i.e. of His punishment because of worshipping others besides Him)?"
ولقد أرسلنا نوحا إلى قومه فقال يا قوم اعبدوا الله ما لكم من إله غيره ۖ أفلا تتقون
Walaqad arsalna noohan ila qawmihi faqala ya qawmi oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoona
But the chiefs of his people who disbelieved said: "He is no more than a human being like you, he seeks to make himself superior to you. Had Allah willed, He surely could have sent down angels. Never did we hear such a thing among our fathers of old.
فقال الملأ الذين كفروا من قومه ما هذا إلا بشر مثلكم يريد أن يتفضل عليكم ولو شاء الله لأنزل ملائكة ما سمعنا بهذا في آبائنا الأولين
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
"He is only a man in whom is madness, so wait for him a while."
إن هو إلا رجل به جنة فتربصوا به حتى حين
In huwa illa rajulun bihi jinnatun fatarabbasoo bihi hatta heenin
[Nuh (Noah)] said: "O my Lord! Help me because they deny me."
قال رب انصرني بما كذبون
Qala rabbi onsurnee bima kaththabooni
So We revealed to him (saying): "Construct the ship under Our Eyes and under Our Revelation (guidance). Then, when Our Command comes, and water gushes forth from the oven, take on board of each kind two (male and female), and your family, except those thereof against whom the Word has already gone forth. And address Me not in favour of those who have done wrong. Verily, they are to be drowned.
فأوحينا إليه أن اصنع الفلك بأعيننا ووحينا فإذا جاء أمرنا وفار التنور ۙ فاسلك فيها من كل زوجين اثنين وأهلك إلا من سبق عليه القول منهم ۖ ولا تخاطبني في الذين ظلموا ۖ إنهم مغرقون
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
And when you have embarked on the ship, you and whoever is with you, then say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has saved us from the people who are Zalimun (i.e. oppressors, wrong-doers, polytheists, those who join others in worship with Allah).
فإذا استويت أنت ومن معك على الفلك فقل الحمد لله الذي نجانا من القوم الظالمين
Faitha istawayta anta waman maAAaka AAala alfulki faquli alhamdu lillahi allathee najjana mina alqawmi alththalimeena
And say: "My Lord! Cause me to land at a blessed landing-place, for You are the Best of those who bring to land."
وقل رب أنزلني منزلا مباركا وأنت خير المنزلين
Waqul rabbi anzilnee munzalan mubarakan waanta khayru almunzileena
Verily, in this [what We did as regards drowning of the people of Nuh (Noah)], there are indeed Ayat (proofs, evidence, lessons, signs, etc. for men to understand), for sure We are ever putting (men) to the test.
إن في ذلك لآيات وإن كنا لمبتلين
Inna fee thalika laayatin wain kunna lamubtaleena
Then, after them, We created another generation.
ثم أنشأنا من بعدهم قرنا آخرين
Thumma anshana min baAAdihim qarnan akhareena
And We sent to them a Messenger from among themselves (saying): "Worship Allah! You have no other Ilah (God) but Him. Will you not then be afraid (of Him i.e. of His punishment because of worshipping others besides Him)?"
فأرسلنا فيهم رسولا منهم أن اعبدوا الله ما لكم من إله غيره ۖ أفلا تتقون
Faarsalna feehim rasoolan minhum ani oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoona
And the chiefs of his people who disbelieved and denied the Meeting in the Hereafter, and whom We had given the luxuries and comforts of this life, said: "He is no more than a human being like you, he eats of that which you eat, and drinks of what you drink.
وقال الملأ من قومه الذين كفروا وكذبوا بلقاء الآخرة وأترفناهم في الحياة الدنيا ما هذا إلا بشر مثلكم يأكل مما تأكلون منه ويشرب مما تشربون
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
"If you were to obey a human being like yourselves, then verily you indeed would be losers.
ولئن أطعتم بشرا مثلكم إنكم إذا لخاسرون
Walain ataAAtum basharan mithlakum innakum ithan lakhasiroona
"Does he promise you that when you have died and have become dust and bones, you shall come out alive (resurrected)?
أيعدكم أنكم إذا متم وكنتم ترابا وعظاما أنكم مخرجون
AyaAAidukum annakum itha mittum wakuntum turaban waAAithaman annakum mukhrajoona
"Far, very far is that which you are promised!
۞ هيهات هيهات لما توعدون
Hayhata hayhata lima tooAAadoona
"There is nothing but our life of this world! We die and we live! And we are not going to be resurrected!
إن هي إلا حياتنا الدنيا نموت ونحيا وما نحن بمبعوثين
In hiya illa hayatuna alddunya namootu wanahya wama nahnu bimabAAootheena
"He is only a man who has invented a lie against Allah, and we are not going to believe in him."
إن هو إلا رجل افترى على الله كذبا وما نحن له بمؤمنين
In huwa illa rajulun iftara AAala Allahi kathiban wama nahnu lahu bimumineena
He said: "O my Lord! Help me because they deny me."
قال رب انصرني بما كذبون
Qala rabbi onsurnee bima kaththabooni
(Allah) said: "In a little while, they are sure to be regretful."
قال عما قليل ليصبحن نادمين
Qala AAamma qaleelin layusbihunna nadimeena
So As-Saihah (torment - awful cry) overtook them in truth (with justice), and We made them as rubbish of dead plants. So away with the people who are Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, disobedient to His Messengers).
فأخذتهم الصيحة بالحق فجعلناهم غثاء ۚ فبعدا للقوم الظالمين
Faakhathathumu alssayhatu bialhaqqi fajaAAalnahum ghuthaan fabuAAdan lilqawmi alththalimeena
Then, after them, We created other generations.
ثم أنشأنا من بعدهم قرونا آخرين
Thumma anshana min baAAdihim quroonan akhareena
No nation can advance their term, nor can they delay it.
ما تسبق من أمة أجلها وما يستأخرون
Ma tasbiqu min ommatin ajalaha wama yastakhiroona
Then We sent Our Messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation their Messenger, they denied him; so We made them follow one another (to destruction), and We made them as Ahadith (the true stories for mankind to learn a lesson from them). So away with a people who believe not!
ثم أرسلنا رسلنا تترى ۖ كل ما جاء أمة رسولها كذبوه ۚ فأتبعنا بعضهم بعضا وجعلناهم أحاديث ۚ فبعدا لقوم لا يؤمنون
Thumma arsalna rusulana tatra kulla ma jaa ommatan rasooluha kaththaboohu faatbaAAna baAAdahum baAAdan wajaAAalnahum ahadeetha fabuAAdan liqawmin la yuminoona
Then We sent Musa (Moses) and his brother Harun (Aaron), with Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and manifest authority,
ثم أرسلنا موسى وأخاه هارون بآياتنا وسلطان مبين
Thumma arsalna moosa waakhahu haroona biayatina wasultanin mubeenin
To Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his chiefs, but they behaved insolently and they were people self-exalting (by disobeying their Lord, and exalting themselves over and above the Messenger of Allah).
إلى فرعون وملئه فاستكبروا وكانوا قوما عالين
Ila firAAawna wamalaihi faistakbaroo wakanoo qawman AAaleena
They said: "Shall we believe in two men like ourselves, and their people are obedient to us with humility (and we use them to serve us as we like)."
فقالوا أنؤمن لبشرين مثلنا وقومهما لنا عابدون
Faqaloo anuminu libasharayni mithlina waqawmuhuma lana AAabidoona
So they denied them both [Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron)] and became of those who were destroyed.
فكذبوهما فكانوا من المهلكين
Fakaththaboohuma fakanoo mina almuhlakeena
And indeed We gave Musa (Moses) the Scripture, that they may be guided.
ولقد آتينا موسى الكتاب لعلهم يهتدون
Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba laAAallahum yahtadoona
And We made the son of Maryam (Mary) and his mother as a sign, and We gave them refuge on high ground, a place of rest, security and flowing streams.
وجعلنا ابن مريم وأمه آية وآويناهما إلى ربوة ذات قرار ومعين
WajaAAalna ibna maryama waommahu ayatan waawaynahuma ila rabwatin thati qararin wamaAAeenin
O (you) Messengers! Eat of the Tayyibat [all kinds of Halal foods which Allah has made lawful (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, milk products, fats, vegetables, fruits, etc.] and do righteous deeds. Verily! I am Well-Acquainted with what you do.
يا أيها الرسل كلوا من الطيبات واعملوا صالحا ۖ إني بما تعملون عليم
Ya ayyuha alrrusulu kuloo mina alttayyibati waiAAmaloo salihan innee bima taAAmaloona AAaleemun
And verily this your religion (of Islamic Monotheism) is one religion, and I am your Lord, so fear (keep your duty to) Me.
وإن هذه أمتكم أمة واحدة وأنا ربكم فاتقون
Wainna hathihi ommatukum ommatan wahidatan waana rabbukum faittaqooni
But they (men) have broken their religion among them into sects, each group rejoicing in what is with it (as its beliefs).
فتقطعوا أمرهم بينهم زبرا ۖ كل حزب بما لديهم فرحون
FataqattaAAoo amrahum baynahum zuburan kullu hizbin bima ladayhim farihoona
So leave them in their error for a time.
فذرهم في غمرتهم حتى حين
Fatharhum fee ghamratihim hatta heenin
Do they think that in wealth and children with which We enlarge them
أيحسبون أنما نمدهم به من مال وبنين
Ayahsaboona annama numidduhum bihi min malin wabaneena
We hasten unto them with good things. Nay, [it is a Fitnah (trial) in this worldly life so that they will have no share of good things in the Hereafter] but they perceive not. [Tafsir Al-Qurtubi].
نسارع لهم في الخيرات ۚ بل لا يشعرون
NusariAAu lahum fee alkhayrati bal la yashAAuroona
Verily those who live in awe for fear of their Lord;
إن الذين هم من خشية ربهم مشفقون
Inna allatheena hum min khashyati rabbihim mushfiqoona
And those who believe in the Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of their Lord;
والذين هم بآيات ربهم يؤمنون
Waallatheena hum biayati rabbihim yuminoona
And those who join not anyone (in worship) as partners with their Lord;
والذين هم بربهم لا يشركون
Waallatheena hum birabbihim la yushrikoona
And those who give that (their charity) which they give (and also do other good deeds) with their hearts full of fear (whether their alms and charities have been accepted or not), because they are sure to return to their Lord (for reckoning).
والذين يؤتون ما آتوا وقلوبهم وجلة أنهم إلى ربهم راجعون
Waallatheena yutoona ma ataw waquloobuhum wajilatun annahum ila rabbihim rajiAAoona
It is these who hasten in the good deeds, and they are foremost in them [e.g. offering the compulsory Salat (prayers) in their (early) stated, fixed times and so on].
أولئك يسارعون في الخيرات وهم لها سابقون
Olaika yusariAAoona fee alkhayrati wahum laha sabiqoona
And We task not any person except according to his capacity, and with Us is a Record which speaks the truth, and they will not be wronged.
ولا نكلف نفسا إلا وسعها ۖ ولدينا كتاب ينطق بالحق ۚ وهم لا يظلمون
Wala nukallifu nafsan illa wusAAaha waladayna kitabun yantiqu bialhaqqi wahum la yuthlamoona
Nay, but their hearts are covered from (understanding) this (the Qur'an), and they have other (evil) deeds, besides, which they are doing.
بل قلوبهم في غمرة من هذا ولهم أعمال من دون ذلك هم لها عاملون
Bal quloobuhum fee ghamratin min hatha walahum aAAmalun min dooni thalika hum laha AAamiloona
Until when We seize those of them who lead a luxurious life with punishment: behold they make humble invocation with a loud voice.
حتى إذا أخذنا مترفيهم بالعذاب إذا هم يجأرون
Hatta itha akhathna mutrafeehim bialAAathabi itha hum yajaroona
Invoke not loudly this day! Certainly you shall not be helped by Us.
لا تجأروا اليوم ۖ إنكم منا لا تنصرون
La tajaroo alyawma innakum minna la tunsaroona
Indeed My Verses used to be recited to you, but you used to turn back on your heels (denying them, and refusing with hatred to listen to them).
قد كانت آياتي تتلى عليكم فكنتم على أعقابكم تنكصون
Qad kanat ayatee tutla AAalaykum fakuntum AAala aAAqabikum tankisoona
In pride (they - Quraish pagans and polytheists of Makkah used to feel proud that they are the dwellers of Makkah sanctuary - Haram), talking evil about it (the Qur'an) by night.
مستكبرين به سامرا تهجرون
Mustakbireena bihi samiran tahjuroona
Have they not pondered over the Word (of Allah, i.e. what is sent down to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم), or has there come to them what had not come to their fathers of old?
أفلم يدبروا القول أم جاءهم ما لم يأت آباءهم الأولين
Afalam yaddabbaroo alqawla am jaahum ma lam yati abaahumu alawwaleena
Or is it that they did not recognize their Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) so they deny him?
أم لم يعرفوا رسولهم فهم له منكرون
Am lam yaAArifoo rasoolahum fahum lahu munkiroona
Or say they: There is madness in him? Nay, but he brought them the truth [i.e. Tauhid: Worshipping Allah Alone in all aspects, the Qur'an and the religion of Islam], but most of them (the disbelievers) are averse to the truth.
أم يقولون به جنة ۚ بل جاءهم بالحق وأكثرهم للحق كارهون
Am yaqooloona bihi jinnatun bal jaahum bialhaqqi waaktharuhum lilhaqqi karihoona
And if the truth had been in accordance with their desires, verily, the heavens and the earth, and whosoever is therein would have been corrupted! Nay, We have brought them their reminder, but they turn away from their reminder.
ولو اتبع الحق أهواءهم لفسدت السماوات والأرض ومن فيهن ۚ بل أتيناهم بذكرهم فهم عن ذكرهم معرضون
Walawi ittabaAAa alhaqqu ahwaahum lafasadati alssamawatu waalardu waman feehinna bal ataynahum bithikrihim fahum AAan thikrihim muAAridoona
Or is it that you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) ask them for some wages? But the recompense of your Lord is better, and He is the Best of those who give sustenance.
أم تسألهم خرجا فخراج ربك خير ۖ وهو خير الرازقين
Am tasaluhum kharjan fakharaju rabbika khayrun wahuwa khayru alrraziqeena
And certainly, you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) call them to the Straight Path (true religion - Islamic Monotheism).
وإنك لتدعوهم إلى صراط مستقيم
Wainnaka latadAAoohum ila siratin mustaqeemin
And verily, those who believe not in the Hereafter are indeed deviating far astray from the Path (true religion - Islamic Monotheism).
وإن الذين لا يؤمنون بالآخرة عن الصراط لناكبون
Wainna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati AAani alssirati lanakiboona
And though We had mercy on them and removed the distress which is on them, still they would obstinately persist in their transgression, wandering blindly.
۞ ولو رحمناهم وكشفنا ما بهم من ضر للجوا في طغيانهم يعمهون
Walaw rahimnahum wakashafna ma bihim min durrin lalajjoo fee tughyanihim yaAAmahoona
And indeed We seized them with punishment, but they humbled not themselves to their Lord, nor did they invoke (Allah) with submission to Him.
ولقد أخذناهم بالعذاب فما استكانوا لربهم وما يتضرعون
Walaqad akhathnahum bialAAathabi fama istakanoo lirabbihim wama yatadarraAAoona
Until, when We open for them the gate of severe punishment, then lo! they will be plunged into destruction with deep regrets, sorrows and in despair.
حتى إذا فتحنا عليهم بابا ذا عذاب شديد إذا هم فيه مبلسون
Hatta itha fatahna AAalayhim baban tha AAathabin shadeedin itha hum feehi mublisoona
It is He Who has created for you (the sense of) hearing (ears), eyes (sight), and hearts (understanding). Little thanks you give.
وهو الذي أنشأ لكم السمع والأبصار والأفئدة ۚ قليلا ما تشكرون
Wahuwa allathee anshaa lakumu alssamAAa waalabsara waalafidata qaleelan ma tashkuroona
And it is He Who has created you on the earth, and to Him you shall be gathered back.
وهو الذي ذرأكم في الأرض وإليه تحشرون
Wahuwa allathee tharaakum fee alardi wailayhi tuhsharoona
And it is He Who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of night and day. Will you not then understand?
وهو الذي يحيي ويميت وله اختلاف الليل والنهار ۚ أفلا تعقلون
Wahuwa allathee yuhyee wayumeetu walahu ikhtilafu allayli waalnnahari afala taAAqiloona
Nay, but they say the like of what the men of old said.
بل قالوا مثل ما قال الأولون
Bal qaloo mithla ma qala alawwaloona
They said: "When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we be resurrected indeed?
قالوا أإذا متنا وكنا ترابا وعظاما أإنا لمبعوثون
Qaloo aitha mitna wakunna turaban waAAithaman ainna lamabAAoothoona
"Verily, this we have been promised - we and our fathers before (us)! This is only the tales of the ancients!"
لقد وعدنا نحن وآباؤنا هذا من قبل إن هذا إلا أساطير الأولين
Laqad wuAAidna nahnu waabaona hatha min qablu in hatha illa asateeru alawwaleena
Say: "Whose is the earth and whosoever is therein? If you know!"
قل لمن الأرض ومن فيها إن كنتم تعلمون
Qul limani alardu waman feeha in kuntum taAAlamoona
They will say: "It is Allah's!" Say: "Will you not then remember?"
سيقولون لله ۚ قل أفلا تذكرون
Sayaqooloona lillahi qul afala tathakkaroona
Say: "Who is (the) Lord of the seven heavens, and (the) Lord of the Great Throne?"
قل من رب السماوات السبع ورب العرش العظيم
Qul man rabbu alssamawati alssabAAi warabbu alAAarshi alAAatheemi
They will say: "Allah." Say: "Will you not then fear Allah (believe in His Oneness, obey Him, believe in the Resurrection and Recompense for every good or bad deed)?"
سيقولون لله ۚ قل أفلا تتقون
Sayaqooloona lillahi qul afala tattaqoona
Say "In Whose Hand is the sovereignty of everything (i.e. treasures of each and everything)? And He protects (all), while against Whom there is no protector, (i.e. if Allah saves anyone none can punish or harm him, and if Allah punishes or harms anyone none can save him), if you know?" [Tafsir Al-Qurtubi]
قل من بيده ملكوت كل شيء وهو يجير ولا يجار عليه إن كنتم تعلمون
Qul man biyadihi malakootu kulli shayin wahuwa yujeeru wala yujaru AAalayhi in kuntum taAAlamoona
They will say: "(All that belongs) to Allah." Say: "How then are you deceived and turn away from the truth?"
سيقولون لله ۚ قل فأنى تسحرون
Sayaqooloona lillahi qul faanna tusharoona
Nay, but We have brought them the truth (Islamic Monotheism), and verily, they (disbelievers) are liars.
بل أتيناهم بالحق وإنهم لكاذبون
Bal ataynahum bialhaqqi wainnahum lakathiboona
No son (or offspring) did Allah beget, nor is there any ilah (god) along with Him. (If there had been many gods), then each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have tried to overcome others! Glorified be Allah above all that they attribute to Him!
ما اتخذ الله من ولد وما كان معه من إله ۚ إذا لذهب كل إله بما خلق ولعلا بعضهم على بعض ۚ سبحان الله عما يصفون
Ma ittakhatha Allahu min waladin wama kana maAAahu min ilahin ithan lathahaba kullu ilahin bima khalaqa walaAAala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin subhana Allahi AAamma yasifoona
All-Knower of the unseen and the seen! Exalted be He over all that they associate as partners to Him!
عالم الغيب والشهادة فتعالى عما يشركون
AAalimi alghaybi waalshshahadati fataAAala AAamma yushrikoona
Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "My Lord! If You would show me that with which they are threatened (torment),
قل رب إما تريني ما يوعدون
Qul rabbi imma turiyannee ma yooAAadoona
"My Lord! Then (save me from Your punishment), put me not amongst the people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers)."
رب فلا تجعلني في القوم الظالمين
Rabbi fala tajAAalnee fee alqawmi alththalimeena
And indeed We are Able to show you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) that with which We have threatened them.
وإنا على أن نريك ما نعدهم لقادرون
Wainna AAala an nuriyaka ma naAAiduhum laqadiroona
Repel evil with that which is better. We are Best-Acquainted with the things they utter.
ادفع بالتي هي أحسن السيئة ۚ نحن أعلم بما يصفون
IdfaAA biallatee hiya ahsanu alssayyiata nahnu aAAlamu bima yasifoona
And say: "My Lord! I seek refuge with You from the whisperings (suggestions) of the Shayatin (devils).
وقل رب أعوذ بك من همزات الشياطين
Waqul rabbi aAAoothu bika min hamazati alshshayateeni
"And I seek refuge with You, My Lord! lest they should come near me."
وأعوذ بك رب أن يحضرون
WaaAAoothu bika rabbi an yahdurooni
Until, when death comes to one of them (those who join partners with Allah), he says: "My Lord! Send me back,
حتى إذا جاء أحدهم الموت قال رب ارجعون
Hatta itha jaa ahadahumu almawtu qala rabbi irjiAAooni
"So that I may do good in that which I have left behind!" No! It is but a word that he speaks; and behind them is Barzakh (a barrier) until the Day when they will be resurrected.
لعلي أعمل صالحا فيما تركت ۚ كلا ۚ إنها كلمة هو قائلها ۖ ومن ورائهم برزخ إلى يوم يبعثون
LaAAallee aAAmalu salihan feema taraktu kalla innaha kalimatun huwa qailuha wamin waraihim barzakhun ila yawmi yubAAathoona
Then, when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another.
فإذا نفخ في الصور فلا أنساب بينهم يومئذ ولا يتساءلون
Faitha nufikha fee alssoori fala ansaba baynahum yawmaithin wala yatasaaloona
