Al Muminun

1 Certainly will the believers have succeeded:

1 Qad aflaha almuminoona

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Successful indeed are the believers

2 They who are during their prayer humbly submissive

2 Allatheena hum fee salatihim khashiAAoona

2 Who are humble in their prayers,

3 And they who turn away from ill speech

3 Waallatheena hum AAani allaghwi muAAridoona

3 And who shun vain conversation,

4 And they who are observant of zakah

4 Waallatheena hum lilzzakati faAAiloona

4 And who are payers of the poor - due;

5 And they who guard their private parts

5 Waallatheena hum lifuroojihim hafithoona

5 And who guard their modesty -

6 Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed -

6 Illa AAala azwajihim aw ma malakat aymanuhum fainnahum ghayru maloomeena

6 Save from their wives or the (slaves) that their right hands possess, for then they are not blameworthy,

7 But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -

7 Famani ibtagha waraa thalika faolaika humu alAAadoona

7 But whoso craveth beyond that, such are transgressors -

8 And they who are to their trusts and their promises attentive

8 Waallatheena hum liamanatihim waAAahdihim raAAoona

8 And who are shepherds of their pledge and their covenant,

9 And they who carefully maintain their prayers -

9 Waallatheena hum AAala salawatihim yuhafithoona

9 And who pay heed to their prayers.

10 Those are the inheritors

10 Olaika humu alwarithoona

10 These are the heirs

11 Who will inherit al - Firdaus. They will abide therein eternally.

11 Allatheena yarithoona alfirdawsa hum feeha khalidoona

11 Who will inherit paradise. There they will abide.

12 And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay.

12 Walaqad khalaqna alinsana min sulalatin min teenin

12 Verily We created man from a product of wet earth;

13 Then We placed him as a sperm - drop in a firm lodging.

13 Thumma jaAAalnahu nutfatan fee qararin makeenin

13 Then placed him as a drop (of seed) in a safe lodging;

14 Then We made the sperm - drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators.

14 Thumma khalaqna alnnutfata AAalaqatan fakhalaqna alAAalaqata mudghatan fakhalaqna almudghata AAithaman fakasawna alAAithama lahman thumma anshanahu khalqan akhara fatabaraka Allahu ahsanu alkhaliqeena

14 Then fashioned We the drop a clot, then fashioned We the clot a little lump, then fashioned We the little lump bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators!

15 Then indeed, after that you are to die.

15 Thumma innakum baAAda thalika lamayyitoona

15 Then lo! after that ye surely die.

16 Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, will be resurrected.

16 Thumma innakum yawma alqiyamati tubAAathoona

16 Then lo! on the Day of Resurrection ye are raised (again).

17 And We have created above you seven layered heavens, and never have We been of [Our] creation unaware.

17 Walaqad khalaqna fawqakum sabAAa taraiqa wama kunna AAani alkhalqi ghafileena

17 And We have created above you seven paths, and We are never unmindful of creation.

18 And We have sent down rain from the sky in a measured amount and settled it in the earth. And indeed, We are Able to take it away.

18 Waanzalna mina alssamai maan biqadarin faaskannahu fee alardi wainna AAala thahabin bihi laqadiroona

18 And we send down from the sky water in measure, and We give it lodging in the earth, and lo! We are Able to withdraw it.

19 And We brought forth for you thereby gardens of palm trees and grapevines in which for you are abundant fruits and from which you eat.

19 Faanshana lakum bihi jannatin min nakheelin waaAAnabin lakum feeha fawakihu katheeratun waminha takuloona

19 Then We produce for you therewith gardens of date - palms and grapes, wherein is much fruit for you and whereof ye eat;

20 And [We brought forth] a tree issuing from Mount Sinai which produces oil and food for those who eat.

20 Washajaratan takhruju min toori saynaa tanbutu bialdduhni wasibghin lilakileena

20 And a tree that springeth forth from Mount Sinai that groweth oil and relish for the eaters.

21 And indeed, for you in livestock is a lesson. We give you drink from that which is in their bellies, and for you in them are numerous benefits, and from them you eat.

21 Wainna lakum fee alanAAami laAAibratan nusqeekum mimma fee butooniha walakum feeha manafiAAu katheeratun waminha takuloona

21 And lo! in the cattle there is verily a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, and many uses have ye in them, and of them do ye eat;

22 And upon them and on ships you are carried.

22 WaAAalayha waAAala alfulki tuhmaloona

22 And on them and on the ship ye are carried.

23 And We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"

23 Walaqad arsalna noohan ila qawmihi faqala ya qawmi oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoona

23 And We verily sent Noah unto his folk, and he said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other God save Him. Will ye not ward off (evil) ?

24 But the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, "This is not but a man like yourselves who wishes to take precedence over you; and if Allah had willed [to send a messenger], He would have sent down angels. We have not heard of this among our forefathers.

24 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

24 But the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved, said: This is only a mortal like you who would make himself superior to you. Had Allah willed, He surely could have sent down angels. We heard not of this in the case of our fathers of old.

25 He is not but a man possessed with madness, so wait concerning him for a time."

25 In huwa illa rajulun bihi jinnatun fatarabbasoo bihi hatta heenin

25 He is only a man in whom is a madness, so watch him for a while.

26 [Noah] said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me."

26 Qala rabbi onsurnee bima kaththabooni

26 He said: My Lord! Help me because they deny me.

27 So We inspired to him, "Construct the ship under Our observation, and Our inspiration, and when Our command comes and the oven overflows, put into the ship from each [creature] two mates and your family, except those for whom the decree [of destruction] has proceeded. And do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are to be drowned.

27 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

27 Then We inspired in him, saying: Make the ship under Our eyes and Our inspiration. Then, when Our command cometh and the oven gusheth water, introduce therein of every (kind) two spouses, and thy household save him thereof against whom the Word hath already gone forth. And plead not with Me on behalf of those who have done wrong. Lo! they will be drowned.

28 And when you have boarded the ship, you and those with you, then say, 'Praise to Allah who has saved us from the wrongdoing people.'

28 Faitha istawayta anta waman maAAaka AAala alfulki faquli alhamdu lillahi allathee najjana mina alqawmi alththalimeena

28 And when thou art on board the ship, thou and whoso is with thee, then say: Praise be to Allah Who hath saved us from the wrongdoing folk!

29 And say, 'My Lord, let me land at a blessed landing place, and You are the best to accommodate [us].' "

29 Waqul rabbi anzilnee munzalan mubarakan waanta khayru almunzileena

29 And say: My Lord! Cause me to land at a blessed landing - place, for Thou art Best of all who bring to land.

30 Indeed in that are signs, and indeed, We are ever testing [Our servants].

30 Inna fee thalika laayatin wain kunna lamubtaleena

30 Lo! herein verily are portents, for lo! We are ever putting (mankind) to the test.

31 Then We produced after them a generation of others.

31 Thumma anshana min baAAdihim qarnan akhareena

31 Then, after them, We brought forth another generation;

32 And We sent among them a messenger from themselves, [saying], "Worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"

32 Faarsalna feehim rasoolan minhum ani oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoona

32 And we sent among them a messenger of their own, saying: Serve Allah, Ye have no other God save Him. Will ye not ward off (evil) ?

33 And the eminent among his people who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter while We had given them luxury in the worldly life said, "This is not but a man like yourselves. He eats of that from which you eat and drinks of what you drink.

33 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

33 And the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter, and whom We had made soft in the life of the world, said: This is only a mortal like you, who eateth of that whereof ye eat and drinketh of that ye drink.

34 And if you should obey a man like yourselves, indeed, you would then be losers.

34 Walain ataAAtum basharan mithlakum innakum ithan lakhasiroona

34 If ye were to obey a mortal like yourselves, then, lo! ye surely would be losers.

35 Does he promise you that when you have died and become dust and bones that you will be brought forth [once more]?

35 AyaAAidukum annakum itha mittum wakuntum turaban waAAithaman annakum mukhrajoona

35 Doth he promise you that you, when ye are dead and have become dust and bones, will (again) be brought forth ?

36 How far, how far, is that which you are promised.

36 Hayhata hayhata lima tooAAadoona

36 Begone, begone, with that which ye are promised!

37 Life is not but our worldly life - we die and live, but we will not be resurrected.

37 In hiya illa hayatuna alddunya namootu wanahya wama nahnu bimabAAootheena

37 There is naught but our life of the world; we die and we live, and we shall not be raised (again).

38 He is not but a man who has invented a lie about Allah, and we will not believe him."

38 In huwa illa rajulun iftara AAala Allahi kathiban wama nahnu lahu bimumineena

38 He is only a man who hath invented a lie about Allah. We are not going to put faith in him.

39 He said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me."

39 Qala rabbi onsurnee bima kaththabooni

39 He said: My Lord! Help me because they deny me.

40 [Allah] said, "After a little, they will surely become regretful."

40 Qala AAamma qaleelin layusbihunna nadimeena

40 He said: In a little while they surely will become repentant.

41 So the shriek seized them in truth, and We made them as [plant] stubble. Then away with the wrongdoing people.

41 Faakhathathumu alssayhatu bialhaqqi fajaAAalnahum ghuthaan fabuAAdan lilqawmi alththalimeena

41 So the (Awful) Cry overtook them rightfully, and We made them like as wreckage (that a torrent hurleth). A far removal for wrongdoing folk!

42 Then We produced after them other generations.

42 Thumma anshana min baAAdihim quroonan akhareena

42 Then after them We brought forth other generations.

43 No nation will precede its time [of termination], nor will they remain [thereafter].

43 Ma tasbiqu min ommatin ajalaha wama yastakhiroona

43 No nation can outstrip its term, nor yet postpone it.

44 Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation its messenger, they denied him, so We made them follow one another [to destruction], and We made them narrations. So away with a people who do not believe.

44 Thumma arsalna rusulana tatra kulla ma jaa ommatan rasooluha kaththaboohu faatbaAAna baAAdahum baAAdan wajaAAalnahum ahadeetha fabuAAdan liqawmin la yuminoona

44 Then We sent our messengers one after another. Whenever its messenger came unto a nation they denied him; so We caused them to follow one another (to disaster) and We made them bywords. A far removal for folk who believe not!

45 Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our signs and a clear authority

45 Thumma arsalna moosa waakhahu haroona biayatina wasultanin mubeenin

45 Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our tokens and a clear warrant

46 To Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were arrogant and were a haughty people.

46 Ila firAAawna wamalaihi faistakbaroo wakanoo qawman AAaleena

46 Unto Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they scorned (them) and they were despotic folk.

47 They said, "Should we believe two men like ourselves while their people are for us in servitude?"

47 Faqaloo anuminu libasharayni mithlina waqawmuhuma lana AAabidoona

47 And they said: Shall we put faith in two mortals like ourselves, and whose folk are servile unto us ?

48 So they denied them and were of those destroyed.

48 Fakaththaboohuma fakanoo mina almuhlakeena

48 So they denied them, and became of those who were destroyed.

49 And We certainly gave Moses the Scripture that perhaps they would be guided.

49 Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba laAAallahum yahtadoona

49 And We verily gave Moses the Scripture, that haply they might go aright.

50 And We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign and sheltered them within a high ground having level [areas] and flowing water.

50 WajaAAalna ibna maryama waommahu ayatan waawaynahuma ila rabwatin thati qararin wamaAAeenin

50 And We made the son of Mary and his mother a portent, and We gave them refuge on a height, a place of flocks and watersprings.

51 [Allah said], "O messengers, eat from the good foods and work righteousness. Indeed, I, of what you do, am Knowing.

51 Ya ayyuha alrrusulu kuloo mina alttayyibati waiAAmaloo salihan innee bima taAAmaloona AAaleemun

51 O ye messengers! Eat of the good things, and do right. Lo! I am Aware of what ye do.

52 And indeed this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so fear Me."

52 Wainna hathihi ommatukum ommatan wahidatan waana rabbukum faittaqooni

52 And lo! this your religion is one religion and I am your Lord, so keep your duty unto Me.

53 But the people divided their religion among them into sects - each faction, in what it has, rejoicing.

53 FataqattaAAoo amrahum baynahum zuburan kullu hizbin bima ladayhim farihoona

53 But they (mankind) have broken their religion among them into sects, each group rejoicing in its tenets.

54 So leave them in their confusion for a time.

54 Fatharhum fee ghamratihim hatta heenin

54 So leave them in their error till a time.

55 Do they think that what We extend to them of wealth and children

55 Ayahsaboona annama numidduhum bihi min malin wabaneena

55 Think they that in the wealth and sons wherewith We provide them

56 Is [because] We hasten for them good things? Rather, they do not perceive.

56 NusariAAu lahum fee alkhayrati bal la yashAAuroona

56 We hasten unto them with good things ? Nay, but they perceive not.

57 Indeed, they who are apprehensive from fear of their Lord

57 Inna allatheena hum min khashyati rabbihim mushfiqoona

57 Lo! those who go in awe for fear of their Lord.

58 And they who believe in the signs of their Lord

58 Waallatheena hum biayati rabbihim yuminoona

58 And those who believe in the revelations of their Lord,

59 And they who do not associate anything with their Lord

59 Waallatheena hum birabbihim la yushrikoona

59 And those who ascribe not partners unto their Lord,

60 And they who give what they give while their hearts are fearful because they will be returning to their Lord -

60 Waallatheena yutoona ma ataw waquloobuhum wajilatun annahum ila rabbihim rajiAAoona

60 And those who give that which they give with hearts afraid because they are about to return unto their Lord,

61 It is those who hasten to good deeds, and they outstrip [others] therein.

61 Olaika yusariAAoona fee alkhayrati wahum laha sabiqoona

61 These race for the good things, and they shall win them in the race.

62 And We charge no soul except [with that within] its capacity, and with Us is a record which speaks with truth; and they will not be wronged.

62 Wala nukallifu nafsan illa wusAAaha waladayna kitabun yantiqu bialhaqqi wahum la yuthlamoona

62 And we task not any soul beyond its scope, and with Us is a Record which speaketh the truth, and they will not be wronged.

63 But their hearts are covered with confusion over this, and they have [evil] deeds besides disbelief which they are doing,

63 Bal quloobuhum fee ghamratin min hatha walahum aAAmalun min dooni thalika hum laha AAamiloona

63 Nay, but their hearts are in ignorance of this (Qur'an), and they have other works, besides, which they are doing;

64 Until when We seize their affluent ones with punishment, at once they are crying [to Allah] for help.

64 Hatta itha akhathna mutrafeehim bialAAathabi itha hum yajaroona

64 Till when We grasp their luxurious ones with the punishment, behold! they supplicate.

65 Do not cry out today. Indeed, by Us you will not be helped.

65 La tajaroo alyawma innakum minna la tunsaroona

65 Supplicate not this day! Assuredly ye will not be helped by Us.

66 My verses had already been recited to you, but you were turning back on your heels

66 Qad kanat ayatee tutla AAalaykum fakuntum AAala aAAqabikum tankisoona

66 My revelations were recited unto you, but ye used to turn back on your heels,

67 In arrogance regarding it, conversing by night, speaking evil.

67 Mustakbireena bihi samiran tahjuroona

67 In scorn thereof. Nightly did ye rave together.

68 Then have they not reflected over the Qur'an, or has there come to them that which had not come to their forefathers?

68 Afalam yaddabbaroo alqawla am jaahum ma lam yati abaahumu alawwaleena

68 Have they not pondered the Word, or hath that come unto them which came not unto their fathers of old ?

69 Or did they not know their Messenger, so they are toward him disacknowledging?

69 Am lam yaAArifoo rasoolahum fahum lahu munkiroona

69 Or know they not their messenger, and so reject him ?

70 Or do they say, "In him is madness?" Rather, he brought them the truth, but most of them, to the truth, are averse.

70 Am yaqooloona bihi jinnatun bal jaahum bialhaqqi waaktharuhum lilhaqqi karihoona

70 Or say they: There is a madness in him ? Nay, but he bringeth them the Truth; and most of them are haters of the Truth.

71 But if the Truth had followed their inclinations, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been ruined. Rather, We have brought them their message, but they, from their message, are turning away.

71 Walawi ittabaAAa alhaqqu ahwaahum lafasadati alssamawatu waalardu waman feehinna bal ataynahum bithikrihim fahum AAan thikrihim muAAridoona

71 And if the Truth had followed their desires, verily the heavens and the earth and whosoever is therein had been corrupted. Nay, We have brought them their Reminder, but from their Reminder they now turn away.

72 Or do you, [O Muhammad], ask them for payment? But the reward of your Lord is best, and He is the best of providers.

72 Am tasaluhum kharjan fakharaju rabbika khayrun wahuwa khayru alrraziqeena

72 Or dost thou ask of them (O Muhammad) any tribute ? But the bounty of thy Lord is better, for He is Best of all who make provision.

73 And indeed, you invite them to a straight path.

73 Wainnaka latadAAoohum ila siratin mustaqeemin

73 And lo! thou summonest them indeed unto a straight path.

74 But indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are deviating from the path.

74 Wainna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati AAani alssirati lanakiboona

74 And lo! those who believe not in the Hereafter are indeed astray from the path.

75 And even if We gave them mercy and removed what was upon them of affliction, they would persist in their transgression, wandering blindly.

75 Walaw rahimnahum wakashafna ma bihim min durrin lalajjoo fee tughyanihim yaAAmahoona

75 Though We had mercy on them and relieved them of the harm afflicting them, they still would wander blindly on in their contumacy.

76 And We had gripped them with suffering [as a warning], but they did not yield to their Lord, nor did they humbly supplicate, [and will continue thus]

76 Walaqad akhathnahum bialAAathabi fama istakanoo lirabbihim wama yatadarraAAoona

76 Already have We grasped them with punishment, but they humble not themselves unto their Lord, nor do they pray,

77 Until when We have opened before them a door of severe punishment, immediately they will be therein in despair.

77 Hatta itha fatahna AAalayhim baban tha AAathabin shadeedin itha hum feehi mublisoona

77 Until, when We open for them the gate of extreme punishment, behold! they are aghast thereat.

78 And it is He who produced for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful.

78 Wahuwa allathee anshaa lakumu alssamAAa waalabsara waalafidata qaleelan ma tashkuroona

78 He it is Who hath created for you ears and eyes and hearts. Small thanks give ye!

79 And it is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.

79 Wahuwa allathee tharaakum fee alardi wailayhi tuhsharoona

79 And He it is Who hath sown you broadcast in the earth, and unto Him ye will be gathered.

80 And it is He who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of the night and the day. Then will you not reason?

80 Wahuwa allathee yuhyee wayumeetu walahu ikhtilafu allayli waalnnahari afala taAAqiloona

80 And He it is Who giveth life and causeth death, and His is the difference of night and day. Have ye then no sense ?

81 Rather, they say like what the former peoples said.

81 Bal qaloo mithla ma qala alawwaloona

81 Nay, but they say the like of that which said the men of old;

82 They said, "When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

82 Qaloo aitha mitna wakunna turaban waAAithaman ainna lamabAAoothoona

82 They say: When we are dead and have become (mere) dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised again ?

83 We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples."

83 Laqad wuAAidna nahnu waabaona hatha min qablu in hatha illa asateeru alawwaleena

83 We were already promised this, we and our forefathers. Lo! this is naught but fables of the men of old.

84 Say, [O Muhammad], "To whom belongs the earth and whoever is in it, if you should know?"

84 Qul limani alardu waman feeha in kuntum taAAlamoona

84 Say: Unto Whom (belongeth) the earth and whosoever is therein, if ye have knowledge ?

85 They will say, "To Allah." Say, "Then will you not remember?"

85 Sayaqooloona lillahi qul afala tathakkaroona

85 They will say: Unto Allah. Say: Will ye not then remember ?

86 Say, "Who is Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne?"

86 Qul man rabbu alssamawati alssabAAi warabbu alAAarshi alAAatheemi

86 Say: Who is Lord of the seven heavens, and Lord of the Tremendous Throne ?

87 They will say, "[They belong] to Allah." Say, "Then will you not fear Him?"

87 Sayaqooloona lillahi qul afala tattaqoona

87 They will say: Unto Allah (all that belongeth). Say: Will ye not then keep duty (unto Him) ?

88 Say, "In whose hand is the realm of all things - and He protects while none can protect against Him - if you should know?"

88 Qul man biyadihi malakootu kulli shayin wahuwa yujeeru wala yujaru AAalayhi in kuntum taAAlamoona

88 Say: In Whose hand is the dominion over all things and He protecteth, while against Him there is no protection, if ye have knowledge ?

89 They will say, "[All belongs] to Allah." Say, "Then how are you deluded?"

89 Sayaqooloona lillahi qul faanna tusharoona

89 They will say: Unto Allah (all that belongeth). Say: How then are ye bewitched ?

90 Rather, We have brought them the truth, and indeed they are liars.

90 Bal ataynahum bialhaqqi wainnahum lakathiboona

90 Nay, but We have brought them the Truth, and lo! they are liars.

91 Allah has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to overcome others. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him].

91 Ma ittakhatha Allahu min waladin wama kana maAAahu min ilahin ithan lathahaba kullu ilahin bima khalaqa walaAAala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin subhana Allahi AAamma yasifoona

91 Allah hath not chosen any son, nor is there any god along with Him; else would each god have assuredly championed that which he created, and some of them would assuredly have overcome others. Glorified be Allah above all that they allege.

92 [He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, so high is He above what they associate [with Him].

92 AAalimi alghaybi waalshshahadati fataAAala AAamma yushrikoona

92 Knower of the Invisible and the Visible! and Exalted be He over all that they ascribe as partners (unto Him)!

93 Say, [O Muhammad], "My Lord, if You should show me that which they are promised,

93 Qul rabbi imma turiyannee ma yooAAadoona

93 Say: My Lord! If Thou shouldst show me that which they are promised.

94 My Lord, then do not place me among the wrongdoing people."

94 Rabbi fala tajAAalnee fee alqawmi alththalimeena

94 My Lord! then set me not among the wrongdoing folk.

95 And indeed, We are able to show you what We have promised them.

95 Wainna AAala an nuriyaka ma naAAiduhum laqadiroona

95 And verily We are Able to show thee that which We have promised them.

96 Repel, by [means of] what is best, [their] evil. We are most knowing of what they describe.

96 IdfaAA biallatee hiya ahsanu alssayyiata nahnu aAAlamu bima yasifoona

96 Repel evil with that which is better. We are Best Aware of that which they allege.

97 And say, "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the incitements of the devils,

97 Waqul rabbi aAAoothu bika min hamazati alshshayateeni

97 And say: My Lord! I seek refuge in Thee from suggestions of the evil ones,

98 And I seek refuge in You, my Lord, lest they be present with me."

98 WaaAAoothu bika rabbi an yahdurooni

98 And I seek refuge in Thee, my Lord, lest they be present with me,

99 [For such is the state of the disbelievers], until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "My Lord, send me back

99 Hatta itha jaa ahadahumu almawtu qala rabbi irjiAAooni

99 Until, when death cometh unto one of them, he saith: My Lord! Send me back,

100 That I might do righteousness in that which I left behind." No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.

100 LaAAallee aAAmalu salihan feema taraktu kalla innaha kalimatun huwa qailuha wamin waraihim barzakhun ila yawmi yubAAathoona

100 That I may do right in that which I have left behind! But nay! It is but a word that he speaketh; and behind them is a barrier until the day when they are raised.

101 So when the Horn is blown, no relationship will there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one another.

101 Faitha nufikha fee alssoori fala ansaba baynahum yawmaithin wala yatasaaloona

101 And when the trumpet is blown there will be no kinship among them that day, nor will they ask of one another.

102 And those whose scales are heavy [with good deeds] - it is they who are the successful.

102 Faman thaqulat mawazeenuhu faolaika humu almuflihoona

102 Then those whose scales are heavy, they are the successful.

103 But those whose scales are light - those are the ones who have lost their souls, [being] in Hell, abiding eternally.

103 Waman khaffat mawazeenuhu faolaika allatheena khasiroo anfusahum fee jahannama khalidoona

103 And those whose scales are light are those who lose their souls, in hell abiding.

104 The Fire will sear their faces, and they therein will have taut smiles.

104 Talfahu wujoohahumu alnnaru wahum feeha kalihoona

104 The fire burneth their faces, and they are glum therein.

105 [It will be said]. "Were not My verses recited to you and you used to deny them?"

105 Alam takun ayatee tutla AAalaykum fakuntum biha tukaththiboona

105 (It will be said): Were not My revelations recited unto you, and then ye used to deny them ?

106 They will say, "Our Lord, our wretchedness overcame us, and we were a people astray.

106 Qaloo rabbana ghalabat AAalayna shiqwatuna wakunna qawman dalleena

106 They will say: Our Lord! Our evil fortune conquered us, and we were erring folk.

107 Our Lord, remove us from it, and if we were to return [to evil], we would indeed be wrongdoers."

107 Rabbana akhrijna minha fain AAudna fainna thalimoona

107 Our Lord! Oh, bring us forth from hence! If we return (to evil) then indeed we shall be wrong - doers.

108 He will say, "Remain despised therein and do not speak to Me.

108 Qala ikhsaoo feeha wala tukallimooni

108 He saith: Begone therein, and speak not unto Me.

109 Indeed, there was a party of My servants who said, 'Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have mercy upon us, and You are the best of the merciful.'

109 Innahu kana fareequn min AAibadee yaqooloona rabbana amanna faighfir lana wairhamna waanta khayru alrrahimeena

109 Lo! there was a party of My slaves who said: Our Lord! We believe, therefor forgive us and have mercy on us for Thou art Best of all who show mercy;

110 But you took them in mockery to the point that they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them.

110 Faittakhathtumoohum sikhriyyan hatta ansawkum thikree wakuntum minhum tadhakoona

110 But ye chose them for a laughing - stock until they caused you to forget remembrance of Me, while ye laughed at them.

111 Indeed, I have rewarded them this Day for their patient endurance - that they are the attainers [of success]."

111 Innee jazaytuhumu alyawma bima sabaroo annahum humu alfaizoona

111 Lo! I have rewarded them this day forasmuch as they were steadfast in that they, even they, are the triumphant.

112 [Allah] will say, "How long did you remain on earth in number of years?"

112 Qala kam labithtum fee alardi AAadada sineena

112 He will say: How long tarried ye in the earth, counting by years ?

113 They will say, "We remained a day or part of a day; ask those who enumerate."

113 Qaloo labithna yawman aw baAAda yawmin faisali alAAaddeena

113 They will say: We tarried by a day or part of a day. Ask of those who keep count!

114 He will say, "You stayed not but a little - if only you had known.

114 Qala in labithtum illa qaleelan law annakum kuntum taAAlamoona

114 He will say: Ye tarried but a little if ye only knew.

115 Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?"

115 Afahasibtum annama khalaqnakum AAabathan waannakum ilayna la turjaAAoona

115 Deemed ye then that We had created you for naught, and that ye would not be returned unto Us ?

116 So exalted is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne.

116 FataAAala Allahu almaliku alhaqqu la ilaha illa huwa rabbu alAAarshi alkareemi

116 Now Allah be Exalted, the True King! There is no God save Him, the Lord of the Throne of Grace.

117 And whoever invokes besides Allah another deity for which he has no proof - then his account is only with his Lord. Indeed, the disbelievers will not succeed.

117 Waman yadAAu maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara la burhana lahu bihi fainnama hisabuhu AAinda rabbihi innahu la yuflihu alkafiroona

117 He who crieth unto any other god along with Allah hath no proof thereof. His reckoning is only with his Lord. Lo! disbelievers will not be successful.

118 And, [O Muhammad], say, "My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful."

118 Waqul rabbi ighfir wairham waanta khayru alrrahimeena

118 And (O Muhammad) say: My Lord! Forgive and have mercy, for Thou art Best of all who show mercy.
