بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
Qad aflaha almuminoona
indeed are the believers,
الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ
Allatheena hum fee salatihim khashiAAoona
Who are humble in their prayers,
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ اللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ
Waallatheena hum AAani allaghwi muAAridoona
And who keep aloof from what is vain,
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكَاةِ فَاعِلُونَ
Waallatheena hum lilzzakati faAAiloona
And who are givers of poor - rate,
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ
Waallatheena hum lifuroojihim hafithoona
And who guard their private parts,
إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ
Illa AAala azwajihim aw ma malakat aymanuhum fainnahum ghayru maloomeena
Except before their mates or those whom their right hands possess, for they surely are not blameable,
فَمَنِ ابْتَغَىٰ وَرَاءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ
Famani ibtagha waraa thalika faolaika humu alAAadoona
But whoever seeks to go beyond that, these are they that exceed the limits;
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَ
Waallatheena hum liamanatihim waAAahdihim raAAoona
And those who are keepers of their trusts and their covenant,
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ
Waallatheena hum AAala salawatihim yuhafithoona
And those who keep a guard on their prayers;
أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْوَارِثُونَ
Olaika humu alwarithoona
These are they who are the heirs,
الَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ
Allatheena yarithoona alfirdawsa hum feeha khalidoona
Who shall inherit the Paradise; they shall abide therein.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ مِن سُلَالَةٍ مِّن طِينٍ
Walaqad khalaqna alinsana min sulalatin min teenin
And certainly We created man of an extract of clay,
ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاهُ نُطْفَةً فِي قَرَارٍ مَّكِينٍ
Thumma jaAAalnahu nutfatan fee qararin makeenin
Then We made him a small seed in a firm resting - place,
ثُمَّ خَلَقْنَا النُّطْفَةَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْعَلَقَةَ مُضْغَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْمُضْغَةَ عِظَامًا فَكَسَوْنَا الْعِظَامَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَاهُ خَلْقًا آخَرَ ۚ فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ
Thumma khalaqna alnnutfata AAalaqatan fakhalaqna alAAalaqata mudghatan fakhalaqna almudghata AAithaman fakasawna alAAithama lahman thumma anshanahu khalqan akhara fatabaraka Allahu ahsanu alkhaliqeena
Then We made the seed a clot, then We made the clot a lump of flesh, then We made (in) the lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, then We caused it to grow into another creation, so blessed be Allah, the best of the creators.
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُم بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَيِّتُونَ
Thumma innakum baAAda thalika lamayyitoona
Then after that you will most surely die.
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تُبْعَثُونَ
Thumma innakum yawma alqiyamati tubAAathoona
Then surely on the day of resurrection you shall be raised.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعَ طَرَائِقَ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ الْخَلْقِ غَافِلِينَ
Walaqad khalaqna fawqakum sabAAa taraiqa wama kunna AAani alkhalqi ghafileena
And certainly We made above you seven heavens; and never are We heedless of creation.
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً بِقَدَرٍ فَأَسْكَنَّاهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۖ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ ذَهَابٍ بِهِ لَقَادِرُونَ
Waanzalna mina alssamai maan biqadarin faaskannahu fee alardi wainna AAala thahabin bihi laqadiroona
And We send down water from the cloud according to a measure, then We cause it to settle in the earth, and most surely We are able to carry it away.
فَأَنشَأْنَا لَكُم بِهِ جَنَّاتٍ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَابٍ لَّكُمْ فِيهَا فَوَاكِهُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ
Faanshana lakum bihi jannatin min nakheelin waaAAnabin lakum feeha fawakihu katheeratun waminha takuloona
Then We cause to grow thereby gardens of palm trees and grapes for you; you have in them many fruits and from them do you eat;
وَشَجَرَةً تَخْرُجُ مِن طُورِ سَيْنَاءَ تَنبُتُ بِالدُّهْنِ وَصِبْغٍ لِّلْآكِلِينَ
Washajaratan takhruju min toori saynaa tanbutu bialdduhni wasibghin lilakileena
And a tree that grows out of Mount Sinai which produces oil and a condiment for those who eat.
وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فِي الْأَنْعَامِ لَعِبْرَةً ۖ نُّسْقِيكُم مِّمَّا فِي بُطُونِهَا وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَافِعُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ
Wainna lakum fee alanAAami laAAibratan nusqeekum mimma fee butooniha walakum feeha manafiAAu katheeratun waminha takuloona
And most surely there is a lesson for you in the cattle: We make you to drink of what is in their bellies, and you have in them many advantages and of them you eat,
وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى الْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُونَ
WaAAalayha waAAala alfulki tuhmaloona
And on them and on the ships you are borne.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُ ۖ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
Walaqad arsalna noohan ila qawmihi faqala ya qawmi oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoona
And certainly We sent Nuh to his people, and he said: O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him; will you not then guard (against evil)?
فَقَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن قَوْمِهِ مَا هَٰذَا إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُرِيدُ أَن يَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَأَنزَلَ مَلَائِكَةً مَّا سَمِعْنَا بِهَٰذَا فِي آبَائِنَا الْأَوَّلِينَ
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
And the chiefs of those who disbelieved from among his people said: He is nothing but a mortal like yourselves who desires that he may have superiority over you, and if Allah had pleased, He could certainly have sent down angels. We have not heard of this among our fathers of yore:
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ بِهِ جِنَّةٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوا بِهِ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
In huwa illa rajulun bihi jinnatun fatarabbasoo bihi hatta heenin
He is only a madman, so bear with him for a time.
قَالَ رَبِّ انصُرْنِي بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ
Qala rabbi onsurnee bima kaththabooni
He said: O my Lord! help me against their calling me a liar.
فَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ أَنِ اصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّورُ ۙ فَاسْلُكْ فِيهَا مِن كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَلَا تُخَاطِبْنِي فِي الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا ۖ إِنَّهُم مُّغْرَقُونَ
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
So We revealed to him, saying: Make the ark before Our eyes and (according to) Our revelation; and when Our command is given and the valley overflows, take into it of every kind a pair, two, and your followers, except those among them against whom the word has gone forth, and do not speak to Me in respect of those who are unjust; surely they shall be drowned.
فَإِذَا اسْتَوَيْتَ أَنتَ وَمَن مَّعَكَ عَلَى الْفُلْكِ فَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي نَجَّانَا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ
Faitha istawayta anta waman maAAaka AAala alfulki faquli alhamdu lillahi allathee najjana mina alqawmi alththalimeena
And when you are firmly seated, you and those with you, in the ark, say: All praise is due to Allah who delivered us from the unjust people:
وَقُل رَّبِّ أَنزِلْنِي مُنزَلًا مُّبَارَكًا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْمُنزِلِينَ
Waqul rabbi anzilnee munzalan mubarakan waanta khayru almunzileena
And say: O my Lord! cause me to disembark a blessed alighting, and Thou art the best to cause to alight.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ وَإِن كُنَّا لَمُبْتَلِينَ
Inna fee thalika laayatin wain kunna lamubtaleena
Most surely there are signs in this, and most surely We are ever trying (men).
ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْنًا آخَرِينَ
Thumma anshana min baAAdihim qarnan akhareena
Then We raised up after them another generation.
فَأَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِمْ رَسُولًا مِّنْهُمْ أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُ ۖ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
Faarsalna feehim rasoolan minhum ani oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoona
So We sent among them an apostle from among them, saying: Serve Allah, you have no god other than Him; will you not then guard (against evil)?
وَقَالَ الْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِهِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِلِقَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ وَأَتْرَفْنَاهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا مَا هَٰذَا إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يَأْكُلُ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهُ وَيَشْرَبُ مِمَّا تَشْرَبُونَ
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
And the chiefs of his people who disbelieved and called the meeting of the hereafter a lie, and whom We had given plenty to enjoy in this world's life, said: This is nothing but a mortal like yourselves, eating of what you eat from and drinking of what you drink.
وَلَئِنْ أَطَعْتُم بَشَرًا مِّثْلَكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّخَاسِرُونَ
Walain ataAAtum basharan mithlakum innakum ithan lakhasiroona
And if you obey a mortal like yourselves, then most surely you will be losers:
أَيَعِدُكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ إِذَا مِتُّمْ وَكُنتُمْ تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَنَّكُم مُّخْرَجُونَ
AyaAAidukum annakum itha mittum wakuntum turaban waAAithaman annakum mukhrajoona
What! does he threaten you that when you are dead and become dust and bones that you shall then be brought forth?
۞ هَيْهَاتَ هَيْهَاتَ لِمَا تُوعَدُونَ
Hayhata hayhata lima tooAAadoona
Far, far is that which you are threatened with.
إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوثِينَ
In hiya illa hayatuna alddunya namootu wanahya wama nahnu bimabAAootheena
There is naught but our life in this world; we die and we live and we shall not be raised again.
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ افْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا وَمَا نَحْنُ لَهُ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ
In huwa illa rajulun iftara AAala Allahi kathiban wama nahnu lahu bimumineena
He is naught but a man who has forged a lie against Allah, and we are not going to believe in him.
قَالَ رَبِّ انصُرْنِي بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ
Qala rabbi onsurnee bima kaththabooni
He said: O my Lord! help me against their calling me a liar.
قَالَ عَمَّا قَلِيلٍ لَّيُصْبِحُنَّ نَادِمِينَ
Qala AAamma qaleelin layusbihunna nadimeena
He said: In a little while they will most certainly be repenting.
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ بِالْحَقِّ فَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ غُثَاءً ۚ فَبُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ
Faakhathathumu alssayhatu bialhaqqi fajaAAalnahum ghuthaan fabuAAdan lilqawmi alththalimeena
So the punishment overtook them in justice, and We made them as rubbish; so away with the unjust people.
ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ قُرُونًا آخَرِينَ
Thumma anshana min baAAdihim quroonan akhareena
Then We raised after them other generations.
مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ
Ma tasbiqu min ommatin ajalaha wama yastakhiroona
No people can hasten on their doom nor can they postpone (it).
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَىٰ ۖ كُلَّ مَا جَاءَ أُمَّةً رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُ ۚ فَأَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُم بَعْضًا وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ ۚ فَبُعْدًا لِّقَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Thumma arsalna rusulana tatra kulla ma jaa ommatan rasooluha kaththaboohu faatbaAAna baAAdahum baAAdan wajaAAalnahum ahadeetha fabuAAdan liqawmin la yuminoona
Then We sent Our apostles one after another; whenever there came to a people their apostle, they called him a liar, so We made some of them follow others and We made them stories; so away with a people who do not believe!
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَأَخَاهُ هَارُونَ بِآيَاتِنَا وَسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ
Thumma arsalna moosa waakhahu haroona biayatina wasultanin mubeenin
Then We sent Musa and his brother Haroun, with Our communications and a clear authority,
إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَئِهِ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا وَكَانُوا قَوْمًا عَالِينَ
Ila firAAawna wamalaihi faistakbaroo wakanoo qawman AAaleena
To Firon and his chiefs, but they behaved haughtily and they were an insolent people.
فَقَالُوا أَنُؤْمِنُ لِبَشَرَيْنِ مِثْلِنَا وَقَوْمُهُمَا لَنَا عَابِدُونَ
Faqaloo anuminu libasharayni mithlina waqawmuhuma lana AAabidoona
And they said: What! shall we believe in two mortals like ourselves while their people serve us?
فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَكَانُوا مِنَ الْمُهْلَكِينَ
Fakaththaboohuma fakanoo mina almuhlakeena
So they rejected them and became of those who were destroyed.
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ
Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba laAAallahum yahtadoona
And certainly We gave Musa the Book that they may follow a right direction.
وَجَعَلْنَا ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمَّهُ آيَةً وَآوَيْنَاهُمَا إِلَىٰ رَبْوَةٍ ذَاتِ قَرَارٍ وَمَعِينٍ
WajaAAalna ibna maryama waommahu ayatan waawaynahuma ila rabwatin thati qararin wamaAAeenin
And We made the son of Marium and his mother a sign, and We gave them a shelter on a lofty ground having meadows and springs.
يَا أَيُّهَا الرُّسُلُ كُلُوا مِنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَاعْمَلُوا صَالِحًا ۖ إِنِّي بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌ
Ya ayyuha alrrusulu kuloo mina alttayyibati waiAAmaloo salihan innee bima taAAmaloona AAaleemun
O apostles! eat of the good things and do good; surely I know what you do.
وَإِنَّ هَٰذِهِ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَأَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاتَّقُونِ
Wainna hathihi ommatukum ommatan wahidatan waana rabbukum faittaqooni
And surely this your religion is one religion and I am your Lord, therefore be careful (of your duty) to Me.
فَتَقَطَّعُوا أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ زُبُرًا ۖ كُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ
FataqattaAAoo amrahum baynahum zuburan kullu hizbin bima ladayhim farihoona
But they cut off their religion among themselves into sects, each part rejoicing in that which is with them.
فَذَرْهُمْ فِي غَمْرَتِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
Fatharhum fee ghamratihim hatta heenin
Therefore leave them in their overwhelming ignorance till
أَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّمَا نُمِدُّهُم بِهِ مِن مَّالٍ وَبَنِينَ
Ayahsaboona annama numidduhum bihi min malin wabaneena
Do they think that by what We aid them with of wealth and children,
نُسَارِعُ لَهُمْ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ ۚ بَل لَّا يَشْعُرُونَ
NusariAAu lahum fee alkhayrati bal la yashAAuroona
We are hastening to them of good things? Nay, they do not perceive.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ
Inna allatheena hum min khashyati rabbihim mushfiqoona
Surely they who from fear of their Lord are cautious,
وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ
Waallatheena hum biayati rabbihim yuminoona
And those who believe in the communications of their Lord,
وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِرَبِّهِمْ لَا يُشْرِكُونَ
Waallatheena hum birabbihim la yushrikoona
And those who do not associate (aught) with their Lord,
وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَا آتَوا وَّقُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ رَاجِعُونَ
Waallatheena yutoona ma ataw waquloobuhum wajilatun annahum ila rabbihim rajiAAoona
And those who give what they give (in alms) while their hearts are full of fear that to their Lord they must return,
أُولَٰئِكَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَهُمْ لَهَا سَابِقُونَ
Olaika yusariAAoona fee alkhayrati wahum laha sabiqoona
These hasten to good things and they are foremost in (attaining) them.
وَلَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۖ وَلَدَيْنَا كِتَابٌ يَنطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ ۚ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ
Wala nukallifu nafsan illa wusAAaha waladayna kitabun yantiqu bialhaqqi wahum la yuthlamoona
And We do not lay on any soul a burden except to the extent of its ability, and with Us is a book which speaks the truth, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.
بَلْ قُلُوبُهُمْ فِي غَمْرَةٍ مِّنْ هَٰذَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْمَالٌ مِّن دُونِ ذَٰلِكَ هُمْ لَهَا عَامِلُونَ
Bal quloobuhum fee ghamratin min hatha walahum aAAmalun min dooni thalika hum laha AAamiloona
Nay, their hearts are in overwhelming ignorance with respect to it and they have besides this other deeds which they do.
حَتَّىٰ إِذَا أَخَذْنَا مُتْرَفِيهِم بِالْعَذَابِ إِذَا هُمْ يَجْأَرُونَ
Hatta itha akhathna mutrafeehim bialAAathabi itha hum yajaroona
Until when We overtake those who lead easy lives among them with punishment, lo! they cry for succor.
لَا تَجْأَرُوا الْيَوْمَ ۖ إِنَّكُم مِّنَّا لَا تُنصَرُونَ
La tajaroo alyawma innakum minna la tunsaroona
Cry not for succor this day; surely you shall not be given help from Us.
قَدْ كَانَتْ آيَاتِي تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنتُمْ عَلَىٰ أَعْقَابِكُمْ تَنكِصُونَ
Qad kanat ayatee tutla AAalaykum fakuntum AAala aAAqabikum tankisoona
My communications were indeed recited to you, but you used to turn back on your heels,
مُسْتَكْبِرِينَ بِهِ سَامِرًا تَهْجُرُونَ
Mustakbireena bihi samiran tahjuroona
In arrogance; talking nonsense about the Quran, and left him like one telling fables by night.
أَفَلَمْ يَدَّبَّرُوا الْقَوْلَ أَمْ جَاءَهُم مَّا لَمْ يَأْتِ آبَاءَهُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
Afalam yaddabbaroo alqawla am jaahum ma lam yati abaahumu alawwaleena
Is it then that they do not ponder over what is said, or is it that there has come to them that which did not come to their fathers of old?
أَمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا رَسُولَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَهُ مُنكِرُونَ
Am lam yaAArifoo rasoolahum fahum lahu munkiroona
Or is it that they have not recognized their Apostle, so that they deny him?
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ بِهِ جِنَّةٌ ۚ بَلْ جَاءَهُم بِالْحَقِّ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كَارِهُونَ
Am yaqooloona bihi jinnatun bal jaahum bialhaqqi waaktharuhum lilhaqqi karihoona
Or do they say: There is madness in him? Nay! he has brought them the truth, and most of them are averse from the truth.
وَلَوِ اتَّبَعَ الْحَقُّ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ بَلْ أَتَيْنَاهُم بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَن ذِكْرِهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ
Walawi ittabaAAa alhaqqu ahwaahum lafasadati alssamawatu waalardu waman feehinna bal ataynahum bithikrihim fahum AAan thikrihim muAAridoona
And should the truth follow their low desires, surely the heavens and the earth and all those who are therein would have perished. Nay! We have brought to them their reminder, but from their reminder they turn aside.
أَمْ تَسْأَلُهُمْ خَرْجًا فَخَرَاجُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ ۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ
Am tasaluhum kharjan fakharaju rabbika khayrun wahuwa khayru alrraziqeena
Or is it that you ask them a recompense? But the recompense of your Lord is best, and He is the best of those who provide sustenance.
وَإِنَّكَ لَتَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
Wainnaka latadAAoohum ila siratin mustaqeemin
And most surely you invite them to a right way.
وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ عَنِ الصِّرَاطِ لَنَاكِبُونَ
Wainna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati AAani alssirati lanakiboona
And most surely those who do not believe in the hereafter are deviating from the way.
۞ وَلَوْ رَحِمْنَاهُمْ وَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِم مِّن ضُرٍّ لَّلَجُّوا فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ
