بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله الذي أنزل على عبده الكتاب ولم يجعل له عوجا ۜ
Saheeh International
[He has made it] straight, to warn of severe punishment from Him and to give good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a good reward
It is We who relate to you, [O Muhammad], their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.
And We made firm their hearts when they stood up and said, "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression.
وربطنا على قلوبهم إذ قاموا فقالوا ربنا رب السماوات والأرض لن ندعو من دونه إلها ۖ لقد قلنا إذا شططا
Saheeh International
These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear authority? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie?"
هؤلاء قومنا اتخذوا من دونه آلهة ۖ لولا يأتون عليهم بسلطان بين ۖ فمن أظلم ممن افترى على الله كذبا
Saheeh International
[The youths said to one another], "And when you have withdrawn from them and that which they worship other than Allah, retreat to the cave. Your Lord will spread out for you of His mercy and will prepare for you from your affair facility."
وإذ اعتزلتموهم وما يعبدون إلا الله فأووا إلى الكهف ينشر لكم ربكم من رحمته ويهيئ لكم من أمركم مرفقا
Saheeh International
And [had you been present], you would see the sun when it rose, inclining away from their cave on the right, and when it set, passing away from them on the left, while they were [laying] within an open space thereof. That was from the signs of Allah. He whom Allah guides is the [rightly] guided, but he whom He leaves astray - never will you find for him a protecting guide.
۞ وترى الشمس إذا طلعت تزاور عن كهفهم ذات اليمين وإذا غربت تقرضهم ذات الشمال وهم في فجوة منه ۚ ذلك من آيات الله ۗ من يهد الله فهو المهتد ۖ ومن يضلل فلن تجد له وليا مرشدا
Saheeh International
And you would think them awake, while they were asleep. And We turned them to the right and to the left, while their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance. If you had looked at them, you would have turned from them in flight and been filled by them with terror.
وتحسبهم أيقاظا وهم رقود ۚ ونقلبهم ذات اليمين وذات الشمال ۖ وكلبهم باسط ذراعيه بالوصيد ۚ لو اطلعت عليهم لوليت منهم فرارا ولملئت منهم رعبا
Saheeh International
And similarly, We awakened them that they might question one another. Said a speaker from among them, "How long have you remained [here]?" They said, "We have remained a day or part of a day." They said, "Your Lord is most knowing of how long you remained. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city and let him look to which is the best of food and bring you provision from it and let him be cautious. And let no one be aware of you.
وكذلك بعثناهم ليتساءلوا بينهم ۚ قال قائل منهم كم لبثتم ۖ قالوا لبثنا يوما أو بعض يوم ۚ قالوا ربكم أعلم بما لبثتم فابعثوا أحدكم بورقكم هذه إلى المدينة فلينظر أيها أزكى طعاما فليأتكم برزق منه وليتلطف ولا يشعرن بكم أحدا
Saheeh International
Indeed, if they come to know of you, they will stone you or return you to their religion. And never would you succeed, then - ever."
إنهم إن يظهروا عليكم يرجموكم أو يعيدوكم في ملتهم ولن تفلحوا إذا أبدا
Saheeh International
And similarly, We caused them to be found that they [who found them] would know that the promise of Allah is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [That was] when they disputed among themselves about their affair and [then] said, "Construct over them a structure. Their Lord is most knowing about them." Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."
وكذلك أعثرنا عليهم ليعلموا أن وعد الله حق وأن الساعة لا ريب فيها إذ يتنازعون بينهم أمرهم ۖ فقالوا ابنوا عليهم بنيانا ۖ ربهم أعلم بهم ۚ قال الذين غلبوا على أمرهم لنتخذن عليهم مسجدا
Saheeh International
They will say there were three, the fourth of them being their dog; and they will say there were five, the sixth of them being their dog - guessing at the unseen; and they will say there were seven, and the eighth of them was their dog. Say, [O Muhammad], "My Lord is most knowing of their number. None knows them except a few. So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument and do not inquire about them among [the speculators] from anyone."
سيقولون ثلاثة رابعهم كلبهم ويقولون خمسة سادسهم كلبهم رجما بالغيب ۖ ويقولون سبعة وثامنهم كلبهم ۚ قل ربي أعلم بعدتهم ما يعلمهم إلا قليل ۗ فلا تمار فيهم إلا مراء ظاهرا ولا تستفت فيهم منهم أحدا
Saheeh International
And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow,"
Except [when adding], "If Allah wills." And remember your Lord when you forget [it] and say, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to right conduct."
Say, "Allah is most knowing of how long they remained. He has [knowledge of] the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. How Seeing is He and how Hearing! They have not besides Him any protector, and He shares not His legislation with anyone."
قل الله أعلم بما لبثوا ۖ له غيب السماوات والأرض ۖ أبصر به وأسمع ۚ ما لهم من دونه من ولي ولا يشرك في حكمه أحدا
Saheeh International
And recite, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord. There is no changer of His words, and never will you find in other than Him a refuge.
واتل ما أوحي إليك من كتاب ربك ۖ لا مبدل لكلماته ولن تجد من دونه ملتحدا
Saheeh International
And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His countenance. And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of the worldly life, and do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever [in] neglect.
واصبر نفسك مع الذين يدعون ربهم بالغداة والعشي يريدون وجهه ۖ ولا تعد عيناك عنهم تريد زينة الحياة الدنيا ۖ ولا تطع من أغفلنا قلبه عن ذكرنا واتبع هواه وكان أمره فرطا
Saheeh International
And say, "The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills - let him believe; and whoever wills - let him disbelieve." Indeed, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a fire whose walls will surround them. And if they call for relief, they will be relieved with water like murky oil, which scalds [their] faces. Wretched is the drink, and evil is the resting place.
إن الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات إنا لا نضيع أجر من أحسن عملا
Saheeh International
Those will have gardens of perpetual residence; beneath them rivers will flow. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and will wear green garments of fine silk and brocade, reclining therein on adorned couches. Excellent is the reward, and good is the resting place.
أولئك لهم جنات عدن تجري من تحتهم الأنهار يحلون فيها من أساور من ذهب ويلبسون ثيابا خضرا من سندس وإستبرق متكئين فيها على الأرائك ۚ نعم الثواب وحسنت مرتفقا
Saheeh International
And present to them an example of two men: We granted to one of them two gardens of grapevines, and We bordered them with palm trees and placed between them [fields of] crops.
وما أظن الساعة قائمة ولئن رددت إلى ربي لأجدن خيرا منها منقلبا
Saheeh International
His companion said to him while he was conversing with him, "Have you disbelieved in He who created you from dust and then from a sperm - drop and then proportioned you [as] a man?
And why did you, when you entered your garden, not say, 'What Allah willed [has occurred]; there is no power except in Allah '? Although you see me less than you in wealth and children,
ولولا إذ دخلت جنتك قلت ما شاء الله لا قوة إلا بالله ۚ إن ترن أنا أقل منك مالا وولدا
Saheeh International
It may be that my Lord will give me [something] better than your garden and will send upon it a calamity from the sky, and it will become a smooth, dusty ground,
And his fruits were encompassed [by ruin], so he began to turn his hands about [in dismay] over what he had spent on it, while it had collapsed upon its trellises, and said, "Oh, I wish I had not associated with my Lord anyone."
And present to them the example of the life of this world, [its being] like rain which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it and [then] it becomes dry remnants, scattered by the winds. And Allah is ever, over all things, Perfect in Ability.
واضرب لهم مثل الحياة الدنيا كماء أنزلناه من السماء فاختلط به نبات الأرض فأصبح هشيما تذروه الرياح ۗ وكان الله على كل شيء مقتدرا
Saheeh International
Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one's] hope.
المال والبنون زينة الحياة الدنيا ۖ والباقيات الصالحات خير عند ربك ثوابا وخير أملا
Saheeh International
And [warn of] the Day when We will remove the mountains and you will see the earth prominent, and We will gather them and not leave behind from them anyone.
ويوم نسير الجبال وترى الأرض بارزة وحشرناهم فلم نغادر منهم أحدا
Saheeh International
And they will be presented before your Lord in rows, [and He will say], "You have certainly come to Us just as We created you the first time. But you claimed that We would never make for you an appointment."
وعرضوا على ربك صفا لقد جئتمونا كما خلقناكم أول مرة ۚ بل زعمتم ألن نجعل لكم موعدا
Saheeh International
And the record [of deeds] will be placed [open], and you will see the criminals fearful of that within it, and they will say, "Oh, woe to us! What is this book that leaves nothing small or great except that it has enumerated it?" And they will find what they did present [before them]. And your Lord does injustice to no one.
ووضع الكتاب فترى المجرمين مشفقين مما فيه ويقولون يا ويلتنا مال هذا الكتاب لا يغادر صغيرة ولا كبيرة إلا أحصاها ۚ ووجدوا ما عملوا حاضرا ۗ ولا يظلم ربك أحدا
Saheeh International
And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was of the jinn and departed from the command of his Lord. Then will you take him and his descendants as allies other than Me while they are enemies to you? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange.
وإذ قلنا للملائكة اسجدوا لآدم فسجدوا إلا إبليس كان من الجن ففسق عن أمر ربه ۗ أفتتخذونه وذريته أولياء من دوني وهم لكم عدو ۚ بئس للظالمين بدلا
Saheeh International
I did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth or to the creation of themselves, and I would not have taken the misguiders as assistants.
۞ ما أشهدتهم خلق السماوات والأرض ولا خلق أنفسهم وما كنت متخذ المضلين عضدا
Saheeh International
And [warn of] the Day when He will say, "Call 'My partners' whom you claimed," and they will invoke them, but they will not respond to them. And We will put between them [a valley of] destruction.
ورأى المجرمون النار فظنوا أنهم مواقعوها ولم يجدوا عنها مصرفا
Saheeh International
And We have certainly diversified in this Qur'an for the people from every [kind of] example; but man has ever been, most of anything, [prone to] dispute.
ولقد صرفنا في هذا القرآن للناس من كل مثل ۚ وكان الإنسان أكثر شيء جدلا
Saheeh International
And nothing has prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord except that there [must] befall them the [accustomed] precedent of the former peoples or that the punishment should come [directly] before them.
وما منع الناس أن يؤمنوا إذ جاءهم الهدى ويستغفروا ربهم إلا أن تأتيهم سنة الأولين أو يأتيهم العذاب قبلا
Saheeh International
And We send not the messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners. And those who disbelieve dispute by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth and have taken My verses, and that of which they are warned, in ridicule.
وما نرسل المرسلين إلا مبشرين ومنذرين ۚ ويجادل الذين كفروا بالباطل ليدحضوا به الحق ۖ واتخذوا آياتي وما أنذروا هزوا
Saheeh International
And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord but turns away from them and forgets what his hands have put forth? Indeed, We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if you invite them to guidance - they will never be guided, then - ever.
ومن أظلم ممن ذكر بآيات ربه فأعرض عنها ونسي ما قدمت يداه ۚ إنا جعلنا على قلوبهم أكنة أن يفقهوه وفي آذانهم وقرا ۖ وإن تدعهم إلى الهدى فلن يهتدوا إذا أبدا
Saheeh International
And your Lord is the Forgiving, full of mercy. If He were to impose blame upon them for what they earned, He would have hastened for them the punishment. Rather, for them is an appointment from which they will never find an escape.
فلما بلغا مجمع بينهما نسيا حوتهما فاتخذ سبيله في البحر سربا
Saheeh International
So when they had passed beyond it, [Moses] said to his boy, "Bring us our morning meal. We have certainly suffered in this, our journey, [much] fatigue."
فلما جاوزا قال لفتاه آتنا غداءنا لقد لقينا من سفرنا هذا نصبا
Saheeh International
He said, "Did you see when we retired to the rock? Indeed, I forgot [there] the fish. And none made me forget it except Satan - that I should mention it. And it took its course into the sea amazingly".
قال فإن اتبعتني فلا تسألني عن شيء حتى أحدث لك منه ذكرا
Saheeh International
So they set out, until when they had embarked on the ship, al - Khidh r tore it open. [Moses] said, "Have you torn it open to drown its people? You have certainly done a grave thing."
So they set out, until when they met a boy, al - Khidh r killed him. [Moses] said, "Have you killed a pure soul for other than [having killed] a soul? You have certainly done a deplorable thing."
قال إن سألتك عن شيء بعدها فلا تصاحبني ۖ قد بلغت من لدني عذرا
Saheeh International
So they set out, until when they came to the people of a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to offer them hospitality. And they found therein a wall about to collapse, so al - Khidh r restored it. [Moses] said, "If you wished, you could have taken for it a payment."
قال هذا فراق بيني وبينك ۚ سأنبئك بتأويل ما لم تستطع عليه صبرا
Saheeh International
As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working at sea. So I intended to cause defect in it as there was after them a king who seized every [good] ship by force.
And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure for them, and their father had been righteous. So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience."
وأما الجدار فكان لغلامين يتيمين في المدينة وكان تحته كنز لهما وكان أبوهما صالحا فأراد ربك أن يبلغا أشدهما ويستخرجا كنزهما رحمة من ربك ۚ وما فعلته عن أمري ۚ ذلك تأويل ما لم تسطع عليه صبرا
Saheeh International
And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about Dhul - Qarnayn. Say, "I will recite to you about him a report."
Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it [as if] setting in a spring of dark mud, and he found near it a people. Allah said, "O Dhul - Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness."
حتى إذا بلغ بين السدين وجد من دونهما قوما لا يكادون يفقهون قولا
Saheeh International
They said, "O Dhul - Qarnayn, indeed Gog and Magog are [great] corrupters in the land. So may we assign for you an expenditure that you might make between us and them a barrier?"
قالوا يا ذا القرنين إن يأجوج ومأجوج مفسدون في الأرض فهل نجعل لك خرجا على أن تجعل بيننا وبينهم سدا
Saheeh International
He said, "That in which my Lord has established me is better [than what you offer], but assist me with strength; I will make between you and them a dam.
قال ما مكني فيه ربي خير فأعينوني بقوة أجعل بينكم وبينهم ردما
Saheeh International
Bring me sheets of iron" - until, when he had leveled [them] between the two mountain walls, he said, "Blow [with bellows]," until when he had made it [like] fire, he said, "Bring me, that I may pour over it molten copper."
[Dhul - Qarnayn] said, "This is a mercy from my Lord; but when the promise of my Lord comes, He will make it level, and ever is the promise of my Lord true."
الذين كانت أعينهم في غطاء عن ذكري وكانوا لا يستطيعون سمعا
Saheeh International
Then do those who disbelieve think that they can take My servants instead of Me as allies? Indeed, We have prepared Hell for the disbelievers as a lodging.
الذين ضل سعيهم في الحياة الدنيا وهم يحسبون أنهم يحسنون صنعا
Saheeh International
Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in [their] meeting Him, so their deeds have become worthless; and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any importance.
إن الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات كانت لهم جنات الفردوس نزلا
Saheeh International
Wherein they abide eternally. They will not desire from it any transfer.
Arabic, with marks
خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا لَا يَبْغُونَ عَنْهَا حِوَلًا
Arabic
خالدين فيها لا يبغون عنها حولا
Saheeh International
Say, "If the sea were ink for [writing] the words of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even if We brought the like of it as a supplement."
قل لو كان البحر مدادا لكلمات ربي لنفد البحر قبل أن تنفد كلمات ربي ولو جئنا بمثله مددا
Saheeh International
Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone."
