আল কলম (কলম)

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Nun. By the pen and that which they write (therewith),

1 Noon waalqalami wama yasturoona

1 Nun. By the pen and what they inscribe,

2 Thou art not, for thy Lord's favour unto thee, a madman.

2 Ma anta biniAAmati rabbika bimajnoonin

2 You are not, [O Muhammad], by the favor of your Lord, a madman.

3 And lo! thine verily will be a reward unfailing.

3 Wainna laka laajran ghayra mamnoonin

3 And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted.

4 And lo! thou art of a tremendous nature.

4 Wainnaka laAAala khuluqin AAatheemin

4 And indeed, you are of a great moral character.

5 And thou wilt see and they will see

5 Fasatubsiru wayubsiroona

5 So you will see and they will see

6 Which of you is the demented.

6 Biayyikumu almaftoonu

6 Which of you is the afflicted [by a devil].

7 Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth from His way, and He is Best Aware of those who walk aright.

7 Inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu biman dalla AAan sabeelihi wahuwa aAAlamu bialmuhtadeena

7 Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has gone astray from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.

8 Therefor obey not thou the rejecters

8 Fala tutiAAi almukaththibeena

8 Then do not obey the deniers.

9 Who would have had thee compromise, that they may compromise.

9 Waddoo law tudhinu fayudhinoona

9 They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you].

10 Neither obey thou each feeble oath - monger,

10 Wala tutiAA kulla hallafin maheenin

10 And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer

11 Detracter, spreader abroad of slanders,

11 Hammazin mashshain binameemin

11 [And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -

12 Hinderer of the good, transgressor, malefactor

12 MannaAAin lilkhayri muAAtadin atheemin

12 A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful,

13 Greedy therewithal, intrusive.

13 AAutullin baAAda thalika zaneemin

13 Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender.

14 It is because he is possessed of wealth and children

14 An kana tha malin wabaneena

14 Because he is a possessor of wealth and children,

15 That, when Our revelations are recited unto him, he saith: Mere fables of the men of old.

15 Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena

15 When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."

16 We shall brand him on the nose.

16 Sanasimuhu AAala alkhurtoomi

16 We will brand him upon the snout.

17 Lo! We have tried them as We tried the owners of the garden when they vowed that they would pluck its fruit next morning,

17 Inna balawnahum kama balawna ashaba aljannati ith aqsamoo layasrimunnaha musbiheena

17 Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morning

18 And made no exception (for the Will of Allah);

18 Wala yastathnoona

18 Without making exception.

19 Then a visitation from thy Lord came upon it while they slept

19 Fatafa AAalayha taifun min rabbika wahum naimoona

19 So there came upon the garden an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep.

20 And in the morning it was as if plucked.

20 Faasbahat kaalssareemi

20 And it became as though reaped.

21 And they cried out one unto another in the morning,

21 Fatanadaw musbiheena

21 And they called one another at morning,

22 Saying: Run unto your field if ye would pluck (the fruit).

22 Ani ighdoo AAala harthikum in kuntum sarimeena

22 [Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit."

23 So they went off, saying one unto another in low tones:

23 Faintalaqoo wahum yatakhafatoona

23 So they set out, while lowering their voices,

24 No needy man shall enter it to - day against you.

24 An la yadkhulannaha alyawma AAalaykum miskeenun

24 [Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person."

25 They went betimes, strong in (this) purpose.

25 Waghadaw AAala hardin qadireena

25 And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able.

26 But when they saw it, they said: Lo! we are in error!

26 Falamma raawha qaloo inna ladalloona

26 But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost;

27 Nay, but we are desolate!

27 Bal nahnu mahroomoona

27 Rather, we have been deprived."

28 The best among them said: Said I not unto you: Why glorify ye not (Allah) ?

28 Qala awsatuhum alam aqul lakum lawla tusabbihoona

28 The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allah]?' "

29 They said: Glorified be our Lord! Lo! we have been wrong - doers.

29 Qaloo subhana rabbina inna kunna thalimeena

29 They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

30 Then some of them drew near unto others, self - reproaching.

30 Faaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatalawamoona

30 Then they approached one another, blaming each other.

31 They said: Alas for us! In truth we were outrageous.

31 Qaloo ya waylana inna kunna tagheena

31 They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors.

32 It may be that our Lord will give us better than this in place thereof. Lo! we beseech our Lord.

32 AAasa rabbuna an yubdilana khayran minha inna ila rabbina raghiboona

32 Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."

33 Such was the punishment. And verily the punishment of the Hereafter is greater if they did but know.

33 Kathalika alAAathabu walaAAathabu alakhirati akbaru law kanoo yaAAlamoona

33 Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.

34 Lo! for those who keep from evil are gardens of bliss with their Lord.

34 Inna lilmuttaqeena AAinda rabbihim jannati alnnaAAeemi

34 Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure.

35 Shall We then treat those who have surrendered as We treat the guilty ?

35 AfanajAAalu almuslimeena kaalmujrimeena

35 Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals?

36 What aileth you ? How foolishly ye judge!

36 Ma lakum kayfa tahkumoona

36 What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge?

37 Or have ye a scripture wherein ye learn

37 Am lakum kitabun feehi tadrusoona

37 Or do you have a scripture in which you learn

38 That ye shall indeed have all that ye choose ?

38 Inna lakum feehi lama takhayyaroona

38 That indeed for you is whatever you choose?

39 Or have ye a covenant on oath from Us that reacheth to the Day of Judgment, that yours shall be all that ye ordain ?

39 Am lakum aymanun AAalayna balighatun ila yawmi alqiyamati inna lakum lama tahkumoona

39 Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge?

40 Ask them (O Muhammad) which of them will vouch for that!

40 Salhum ayyuhum bithalika zaAAeemun

40 Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible.

41 Or have they other gods ? Then let them bring their other gods if they are truthful

41 Am lahum shurakao falyatoo bishurakaihim in kanoo sadiqeena

41 Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful.

42 On the day when it befalleth in earnest, and they are ordered to prostrate themselves but are not able,

42 Yawma yukshafu AAan saqin wayudAAawna ila alssujoodi fala yastateeAAoona

42 The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but the disbelievers will not be able,

43 With eyes downcast, abasement stupefying them. And they had been summoned to prostrate themselves while they were yet unhurt.

43 KhashiAAatan absaruhum tarhaquhum thillatun waqad kanoo yudAAawna ila alssujoodi wahum salimoona

43 Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.

44 Leave Me (to deal) with those who give the lie to this pronouncement. We shall lead them on by steps from whence they know not.

44 Fatharnee waman yukaththibu bihatha alhadeethi sanastadrijuhum min haythu la yaAAlamoona

44 So leave Me, [O Muhammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies the Qur'an. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.

45 Yet I bear with them, for lo! My scheme is firm.

45 Waomlee lahum inna kaydee mateenun

45 And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.

46 Or dost thou (Muhammad) ask a fee from them so that they are heavily taxed ?

46 Am tasaluhum ajran fahum min maghramin muthqaloona

46 Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?

47 Or is the Unseen theirs that they can write (thereof) ?

47 Am AAindahumu alghaybu fahum yaktuboona

47 Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?

48 But wait thou for thy Lord's decree, and be not like him of the fish, who cried out in despair.

48 Faisbir lihukmi rabbika wala takun kasahibi alhooti ith nada wahuwa makthoomun

48 Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muhammad], and be not like the companion of the fish when he called out while he was distressed.

49 Had it not been that favour from his Lord had reached him he surely had been cast into the wilderness while he was reprobate.

49 Lawla an tadarakahu niAAmatun min rabbihi lanubitha bialAAarai wahuwa mathmoomun

49 If not that a favor from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.

50 But his Lord chose him and placed him among the righteous.

50 Faijtabahu rabbuhu fajaAAalahu mina alssaliheena

50 And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.

51 And lo! those who disbelieve would fain disconcert thee with their eyes when they hear the Reminder, and they say: Lo! he is indeed mad;

51 Wain yakadu allatheena kafaroo layuzliqoonaka biabsarihim lamma samiAAoo alththikra wayaqooloona innahu lamajnoonun

51 And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad."

52 When it is naught else than a Reminder to creation.

52 Wama huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena

52 But it is not except a reminder to the worlds.
