3 By those (angels) who bring the Book and the Qur'an from Allah to mankind [Tafsir Ibn Kathir].

4 Inna ilahakum lawahidun

4 Verily your Ilah (God) is indeed One (i.e. Allah):

5 Rabbu alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma warabbu almashariqi

5 Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and all that is between them, and Lord of every point of the sun's risings.

6 Verily We have adorned the near heaven with the stars (for beauty).

7 Wahifthan min kulli shaytanin maridin

7 And to guard against every rebellious devil.

8 La yassammaAAoona ila almalai alaAAla wayuqthafoona min kulli janibin

8 They cannot listen to the higher group (angels) for they are pelted from every side.

9 Duhooran walahum AAathabun wasibun

9 Outcast, and theirs is a constant (or painful) torment.

10 Illa man khatifa alkhatfata faatbaAAahu shihabun thaqibun

10 Except such as snatch away something by stealing, and they are pursued by a flaming fire of piercing brightness.

11 Faistaftihim ahum ashaddu khalqan am man khalaqna inna khalaqnahum min teenin lazibin

11 Then ask them (i.e. these polytheists, O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Are they stronger as creation, or those (others like the heavens and the earth and the mountains) whom We have created?" Verily, We created them of a sticky clay.

12 Bal AAajibta wayaskharoona

12 Nay, you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) wondered (at their insolence) while they mock (at you and at the Qur'an).

13 Waitha thukkiroo la yathkuroona

13 And when they are reminded, they pay no attention.

14 Waitha raaw ayatan yastaskhiroona

14 And when they see an Ayah (a sign, or an evidence) from Allah, they mock at it.

15 Waqaloo in hatha illa sihrun mubeenun

15 And they say: "This is nothing but evident magic!

16 Aitha mitna wakunna turaban waAAithaman ainna lamabAAoothoona

16 "When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we (then) verily be resurrected?

17 Awaabaona alawwaloona

18 Qul naAAam waantum dakhiroona

18 Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Yes, and you shall then be humiliated."

19 Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun faitha hum yanthuroona

19 It will be a single Zajrah [shout (i.e. the second blowing of the Trumpet)], and behold, they will be staring!

20 Waqaloo ya waylana hatha yawmu alddeeni

20 They will say: "Woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense!"

21 Hatha yawmu alfasli allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona

22 Ohshuroo allatheena thalamoo waazwajahum wama kanoo yaAAbudoona

22 (It will be said to the angels): "Assemble those who did wrong, together with their companions (from the devils) and what they used to worship,

23 Min dooni Allahi faihdoohum ila sirati aljaheemi

23 "Instead of Allah, and lead them on to the way of flaming Fire (Hell);

24 Waqifoohum innahum masooloona

24 "But stop them, verily they are to be questioned.

25 Ma lakum la tanasaroona

25 "What is the matter with you? Why do you not help one another (as you used to do in the world)?"

26 Bal humu alyawma mustaslimoona

26 Nay, but that Day they shall surrender.

27 Waaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatasaaloona

27 And they will turn to one another and question one another.

28 Qaloo innakum kuntum tatoonana AAani alyameeni

28 They will say: "It was you who used to come to us from the right side [i.e. from the right side of one of us and beautify for us every evil, enjoin on us polytheism, and stop us from the truth i.e. Islamic Monotheism and from every good deed]."

29 Qaloo bal lam takoonoo mumineena

29 They will reply: "Nay, you yourselves were not believers.

30 Wama kana lana AAalaykum min sultanin bal kuntum qawman tagheena

30 "And we had no authority over you. Nay! But you were Taghun (transgressing) people (polytheists, and disbelievers).

31 Fahaqqa AAalayna qawlu rabbina inna lathaiqoona

31 "So now the Word of our Lord has been justified against us, that we shall certainly (have to) taste (the torment).

32 Faaghwaynakum inna kunna ghaweena

32 "So we led you astray because we were ourselves astray."

33 Fainnahum yawmaithin fee alAAathabi mushtarikoona

33 Then verily, that Day, they will (all) share in the torment.

34 Inna kathalika nafAAalu bialmujrimeena

34 Certainly, that is how We deal with Al-Mujrimun (polytheists, sinners, disbelievers, criminals, the disobedient to Allah).

35 Innahum kanoo itha qeela lahum la ilaha illa Allahu yastakbiroona

35 Truly, when it was said to them: La ilaha illallah "(none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)," they puffed themselves up with pride (i.e. denied it).

36 Wayaqooloona ainna latarikoo alihatina lishaAAirin majnoonin

36 And (they) said: "Are we going to abandon our alihah (gods) for the sake of a mad poet?"

37 Bal jaa bialhaqqi wasaddaqa almursaleena

37 Nay! he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) has come with the truth (i.e. Allah's religion - Islamic Monotheism and this Qur'an) and he confirms the Messengers (before him who brought Allah's religion - Islamic Monotheism).

38 Innakum lathaiqoo alAAathabi alaleemi

38 Verily, you (pagans of Makkah) are going to taste the painful torment;

39 Wama tujzawna illa ma kuntum taAAmaloona

39 And you will be requited nothing except for what you used to do (evil deeds, sins, and Allah's disobedience which you used to do in this world)

40 Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

40 Save the chosen slaves of Allah (i.e. the true believers of Islamic Monotheism).

41 Olaika lahum rizqun maAAloomun

41 For them there will be a known provision (in Paradise),

42 Fawakihu wahum mukramoona

42 Fruits; and they shall be honoured,

43 Fee jannati alnnaAAeemi

43 In the Gardens of delight (Paradise),

44 AAala sururin mutaqabileena

44 Facing one another on thrones.

45 Yutafu AAalayhim bikasin min maAAeenin

45 Round them will be passed a cup of pure wine -

46 Baydaa laththatin lilshsharibeena

46 White, delicious to the drinkers.

47 La feeha ghawlun wala hum AAanha yunzafoona

47 Neither will they have Ghoul (any kind of hurt, abdominal pain, headache, a sin) from that, nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom.

48 WaAAindahum qasiratu alttarfi AAeenun

48 And beside them will be Qasirat-at-Tarf [chaste females (wives), restraining their glances (desiring none except their husbands)], with wide and beautiful eyes.

49 Kaannahunna baydun maknoonun

49 (Delicate and pure) as if they were (hidden) eggs (well) preserved.

50 Faaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatasaaloona

50 Then they will turn to one another, mutually questioning.

51 Qala qailun minhum innee kana lee qareenun

51 A speaker of them will say: "Verily, I had a companion (in the world),

52 Yaqoolu ainnaka lamina almusaddiqeena

52 Who used to say: "Are you among those who believe (in resurrection after death).

53 Aitha mitna wakunna turaban waAAithaman ainna lamadeenoona

53 "(That) when we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed (be raised up) to receive reward or punishment (according to our deeds)?"

54 Qala hal antum muttaliAAoona

54 (The speaker) said: "Will you look down?"

55 FaittalaAAa faraahu fee sawai aljaheemi

55 So he looked down and saw him in the midst of the Fire.

56 Qala taAllahi in kidta laturdeeni

56 He said: "By Allah! You have nearly ruined me.

57 Walawla niAAmatu rabbee lakuntu mina almuhdareena

57 "Had it not been for the Grace of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought forth (to Hell)."

58 Afama nahnu bimayyiteena

58 (The dwellers of Paradise will say) "Are we then not to die (any more)?

59 Illa mawtatana aloola wama nahnu bimuAAaththabeena

59 Except our first death, and we shall not be punished? (after we have entered Paradise)."

60 Inna hatha lahuwa alfawzu alAAatheemu

60 Truly, this is the supreme success!

61 Limithli hatha falyaAAmali alAAamiloona

61 For the like of this let the workers work.

62 Athalika khayrun nuzulan am shajaratu alzzaqqoomi

62 Is that (Paradise) better entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum (a horrible tree in Hell)?

63 Inna jaAAalnaha fitnatan lilththalimeena

63 Truly We have made it (as) a trail for the Zalimun (polytheists, disbelievers, wrong-doers).

64 Innaha shajaratun takhruju fee asli aljaheemi

64 Verily, it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell-fire,

65 TalAAuha kaannahu ruoosu alshshayateeni

65 The shoots of its fruit-stalks are like the heads of Shayatin (devils);

66 Fainnahum laakiloona minha famalioona minha albutoona

66 Truly, they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith.

67 Thumma inna lahum AAalayha lashawban min hameemin

67 Then on the top of that they will be given boiling water to drink so that it becomes a mixture (of boiling water and Zaqqum in their bellies).

68 Thumma inna marjiAAahum laila aljaheemi

68 Then thereafter, verily, their return is to the flaming fire of Hell.

69 Innahum alfaw abaahum dalleena

69 Verily, they found their fathers on the wrong path;

70 Fahum AAala atharihim yuhraAAoona

70 So they (too) hastened in their footsteps!

71 Walaqad dalla qablahum aktharu alawwaleena

71 And indeed most of the men of old went astray before them;

72 Walaqad arsalna feehim munthireena

72 And indeed We sent among them warners (Messengers);

73 Faonthur kayfa kana AAaqibatu almunthareena

73 Then see what was the end of those who were warned (but heeded not).

74 Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

74 Except the chosen slaves of Allah (faithful, obedient, and true believers of Islamic Monotheism).

75 Walaqad nadana noohun falaniAAma almujeeboona

75 And indeed Nuh (Noah) invoked Us, and We are the Best of those who answer (the request).

76 Wanajjaynahu waahlahu mina alkarbi alAAatheemi

76 And We rescued him and his family from the great distress (i.e. drowning),

77 WajaAAalna thurriyyatahu humu albaqeena

77 And, his progeny, them We made the survivors (i.e. Shem, Ham and Japheth).

78 Watarakna AAalayhi fee alakhireena

78 And left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations:

79 Salamun AAala noohin fee alAAalameena

79 "Salam (peace) be upon Nuh (Noah) (from Us) among the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)!"

80 Inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena

80 Verily, thus We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - See V.2:112).

81 Innahu min AAibadina almumineena

81 Verily, he [Nuh (Noah)] was one of Our believing slaves.

82 Thumma aghraqna alakhareena

82 Then We drowned the others (disbelievers and polytheists).

83 Wainna min sheeAAatihi laibraheema

83 And, verily, among those who followed his [Nuh's (Noah)] way (Islamic Monotheism) was Ibrahim (Abraham).

84 Ith jaa rabbahu biqalbin saleemin

84 When he came to his Lord with a pure heart [attached to Allah Alone and none else, worshipping none but Allah Alone - true Islamic Monotheism, pure from the filth of polytheism].

85 Ith qala liabeehi waqawmihi matha taAAbudoona

85 When he said to his father and to his people: "What is it that which you worship?

86 Aifkan alihatan doona Allahi tureedoona

86 "Is it a falsehood - alihah (gods) other than Allah - that you desire?

87 Fama thannukum birabbi alAAalameena

87 "Then what think you about the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn, and all that exists)?"

88 Fanathara nathratan fee alnnujoomi

88 Then he cast a glance at the stars,

89 Faqala innee saqeemun

89 And he said: "Verily, I am sick (with plague). [He did this trick to remain in their temple of idols to destroy them and not to accompany them to the pagan feast)]."

90 Fatawallaw AAanhu mudbireena

90 So they turned away from him, and departed (for fear of the disease).

91 Faragha ila alihatihim faqala ala takuloona

91 Then he turned to their alihah (gods) and said: "Will you not eat (of the offering before you)?

92 Ma lakum la tantiqoona

92 "What is the matter with you that you speak not?"

93 Faragha AAalayhim darban bialyameeni

93 Then he turned upon them, striking (them) with (his) right hand.

94 Faaqbaloo ilayhi yaziffoona

94 Then they (the worshippers of idols) came, towards him, hastening.

95 Qala ataAAbudoona ma tanhitoona

95 He said: "Worship you that which you (yourselves) carve?

96 WaAllahu khalaqakum wama taAAmaloona

96 "While Allah has created you and what you make!"

97 Qaloo ibnoo lahu bunyanan faalqoohu fee aljaheemi

97 They said: "Build for him a building (it is said that the building was like a furnace) and throw him into the blazing fire!"

98 Faaradoo bihi kaydan fajaAAalnahumu alasfaleena

98 So they plotted a plot against him, but We made them the lowest.

99 Waqala innee thahibun ila rabbee sayahdeeni

99 And he said (after his rescue from the fire): "Verily, I am going to my Lord. He will guide me!"

100 Rabbi hab lee mina alssaliheena

100 "My Lord! Grant me (offspring) from the righteous."

101 Fabashsharnahu bighulamin haleemin

101 So We gave him the glad tidings of a forbearing boy.

102 Falamma balagha maAAahu alssaAAya qala ya bunayya innee ara fee almanami annee athbahuka faonthur matha tara qala ya abati ifAAal ma tumaru satajidunee in shaa Allahu mina alssabireena

102 And, when he (his son) was old enough to walk with him, he said: "O my son! I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you (offering you in sacrifice to Allah). So look what you think!" He said: "O my father! Do that which you are commanded, Insha' Allah (if Allah wills), you shall find me of As-Sabirun (the patient)."

103 Falamma aslama watallahu liljabeeni

103 Then, when they had both submitted themselves (to the Will of Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (or on the side of his forehead for slaughtering);

104 Wanadaynahu an ya ibraheemu

104 We called out to him: "O Abraham!

105 Qad saddaqta alrruya inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena

105 You have fulfilled the dream!" Verily thus do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - See 2:112).

106 Inna hatha lahuwa albalao almubeenu

106 Verily, that indeed was a manifest trial.

107 Wafadaynahu bithibhin AAatheemin

107 And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice (i.e. كبش - a ram);

108 Watarakna AAalayhi fee alakhireena

108 And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations.

109 Salamun AAala ibraheema

109 "Salam (peace) be upon Ibrahim (Abraham)!"

110 Kathalika najzee almuhsineena

110 Thus indeed do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - See V.2:112).

111 Innahu min AAibadina almumineena

111 Verily, he was one of Our believing slaves.

112 Wabashsharnahu biishaqa nabiyyan mina alssaliheena

112 And We gave him the glad tidings of Ishaq (Isaac) - a Prophet from the righteous.

113 Wabarakna AAalayhi waAAala ishaqa wamin thurriyyatihima muhsinun wathalimun linafsihi mubeenun

113 We blessed him and Ishaq (Isaac). And of their progeny are (some) that do right, and some that plainly wrong themselves.

114 Walaqad mananna AAala moosa waharoona

114 And, indeed We gave Our Grace to Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron).

115 Wanajjaynahuma waqawmahuma mina alkarbi alAAatheemi

115 And We saved them and their people from the great distress,

116 Wanasarnahum fakanoo humu alghalibeena

116 And helped them, so that they became the victors;

117 Waataynahuma alkitaba almustabeena

117 And We gave them the clear Scripture;

118 Wahadaynahuma alssirata almustaqeema

118 And guided them to the Right Path.

119 Watarakna AAalayhima fee alakhireena

119 And We left for them (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations.

120 Salamun AAala moosa waharoona

120 "Salam (peace) be upon Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron)!"

121 Inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena

121 Verily, thus do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - See V.2:112).

122 Innahuma min AAibadina almumineena

122 Verily, they were two of Our believing slaves.

123 Wainna ilyasa lamina almursaleena

123 And verily, Iliyas (Elias) was one of the Messengers.

124 Ith qala liqawmihi ala tattaqoona

124 When he said to his people: "Will you not fear Allah?

125 AtadAAoona baAAlan watatharoona ahsana alkhaliqeena

125 "Will you call upon Ba'l (a well known idol of his nation whom they used to worship) and forsake the Best of creators,

126 Allaha rabbakum warabba abaikumu alawwaleena

126 "Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?"

127 Fakaththaboohu fainnahum lamuhdaroona

127 But they denied him [Iliyas (Elias)], so they will certainly be brought forth (to the punishment),

128 Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

128 Except the chosen slaves of Allah.

129 Watarakna AAalayhi fee alakhireena

129 And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations.

130 Salamun AAala il yaseena

130 "Salam (peace) be upon Ilyasin (Elias)!"

131 Inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena

131 Verily, thus do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers, who perform good deeds totally for Allah's sake only - See V.2:112).

132 Innahu min AAibadina almumineena

132 Verily, he was one of Our believing slaves.

133 Wainna lootan lamina almursaleena

133 And verily, Lut (Lot) was one of the Messengers.

134 Ith najjaynahu waahlahu ajmaAAeena

134 When We saved him and his family, all,

135 Illa AAajoozan fee alghabireena

135 Except an old woman (his wife) who was among those who remained behind.

136 Thumma dammarna alakhareena

136 Then We destroyed the rest (the town of Sodom at the place of the Dead Sea now in Palestine).

137 Wainnakum latamurroona AAalayhim musbiheena

137 Verily, you pass by them in the morning

138 Wabiallayli afala taAAqiloona

138 And at night; will you not then reflect?

139 Wainna yoonusa lamina almursaleena

139 And, verily, Yunus (Jonah) was one of the Messengers.

140 Ith abaqa ila alfulki almashhooni

140 When he ran to the laden ship:

141 Fasahama fakana mina almudhadeena

141 Then he (agreed to) cast lots, and he was among the losers.

142 Failtaqamahu alhootu wahuwa muleemun

142 Then a (big) fish swallowed him as he had done an act worthy of blame.

143 Falawla annahu kana mina almusabbiheena

143 Had he not been of them who glorify Allah,

144 Lalabitha fee batnihi ila yawmi yubAAathoona

144 He would have indeed remained inside its belly (the fish) till the Day of Resurrection.

145 Fanabathnahu bialAAarai wahuwa saqeemun

145 But We cast him forth on the naked shore while he was sick,

146 Waanbatna AAalayhi shajaratan min yaqteenin

146 And We caused a plant of gourd to grow over him.

147 Waarsalnahu ila miati alfin aw yazeedoona

147 And We sent him to a hundred thousand (people) or even more.

148 Faamanoo famattaAAnahum ila heenin

148 And they believed; so We gave them enjoyment for a while.

149 Faistaftihim alirabbika albanatu walahumu albanoona

149 Now ask them (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Are there (only) daughters for your Lord and sons for them?"

150 Am khalaqna almalaikata inathan wahum shahidoona

150 Or did We create the angels female while they were witnesses?

151 Ala innahum min ifkihim layaqooloona

151 Verily, it is of their falsehood that they (Quraish pagans) say:

152 Walada Allahu wainnahum lakathiboona

152 "Allah has begotten [offspring - the angels being the daughters of Allah)?" And, verily, they are liars!

153 Astafa albanati AAala albaneena

153 Has He (then) chosen daughters rather than sons?

154 Ma lakum kayfa tahkumoona

154 What is the matter with you? How do you decide?

155 Afala tathakkaroona

155 Will you not then remember?

156 Am lakum sultanun mubeenun

156 Or is there for you a plain authority?

157 Fatoo bikitabikum in kuntum sadiqeena

157 Then bring your Book if you are truthful!

158 WajaAAaloo baynahu wabayna aljinnati nasaban walaqad AAalimati aljinnatu innahum lamuhdaroona

158 And they have invented a kinship between Him and the jinn, but the jinn know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e. they will be called to account).

159 Subhana Allahi AAamma yasifoona

159 Glorified be Allah! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!

160 Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

160 Except the slaves of Allah, whom He chooses (for His Mercy i.e. true believers of Islamic Monotheism who do not attribute false things unto Allah).

161 Fainnakum wama taAAbudoona

161 So, verily you (pagans) and those whom you worship (idols)

162 Ma antum AAalayhi bifatineena

162 Cannot lead astray [turn away from Him (Allah) anyone of the believers],

163 Illa man huwa sali aljaheemi

163 Except those who are predestined to burn in Hell!

164 Wama minna illa lahu maqamun maAAloomun

164 And there is not one of us (angels) but has his known place (or position);

165 Wainna lanahnu alssaffoona

165 And verily, we (angels), we stand in rows (for the prayers as you Muslims stand in rows for your prayers);

166 Wainna lanahnu almusabbihoona

166 And verily, we (angels), indeed are those who glorify (Allah's Praises i.e. perform prayers).

167 Wain kanoo layaqooloona

167 And indeed they (Arab pagans) used to say:

168 Law anna AAindana thikran mina alawwaleena

168 "If we had a reminder as had the men of old (before the coming of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم as a Messenger of Allah),
