1 Nun. By the pen and what they inscribe,

Transliteration

Saheeh International

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

Saheeh International

3 And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted.

Transliteration

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

Saheeh International

5 So you will see and they will see

Transliteration

5 Fasatubsiru wayubsiroona

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

6 Biayyikumu almaftoonu

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

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

Saheeh International

8 Then do not obey the deniers.

Transliteration

8 Fala tutiAAi almukaththibeena

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

Saheeh International

10 And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer

Transliteration

10 Wala tutiAA kulla hallafin maheenin

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

11 Hammazin mashshain binameemin

Saheeh International

12 A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful,

Transliteration

12 MannaAAin lilkhayri muAAtadin atheemin

Saheeh International

13 Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender.

Transliteration

13 AAutullin baAAda thalika zaneemin

Saheeh International

14 Because he is a possessor of wealth and children,

Transliteration

14 An kana tha malin wabaneena

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

15 Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena

Saheeh International

16 We will brand him upon the snout.

Transliteration

16 Sanasimuhu AAala alkhurtoomi

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

17 Inna balawnahum kama balawna ashaba aljannati ith aqsamoo layasrimunnaha musbiheena

Saheeh International

18 Without making exception.

Transliteration

18 Wala yastathnoona

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

19 Fatafa AAalayha taifun min rabbika wahum naimoona

Saheeh International

20 And it became as though reaped.

Transliteration

20 Faasbahat kaalssareemi

Saheeh International

21 And they called one another at morning,

Transliteration

21 Fatanadaw musbiheena

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

22 Ani ighdoo AAala harthikum in kuntum sarimeena

Saheeh International

23 So they set out, while lowering their voices,

Transliteration

23 Faintalaqoo wahum yatakhafatoona

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

24 An la yadkhulannaha alyawma AAalaykum miskeenun

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

25 Waghadaw AAala hardin qadireena

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

26 Falamma raawha qaloo inna ladalloona

Saheeh International

27 Rather, we have been deprived."

Transliteration

27 Bal nahnu mahroomoona

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

28 Qala awsatuhum alam aqul lakum lawla tusabbihoona

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

29 Qaloo subhana rabbina inna kunna thalimeena

Saheeh International

30 Then they approached one another, blaming each other.

Transliteration

30 Faaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatalawamoona

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

31 Qaloo ya waylana inna kunna tagheena

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

32 AAasa rabbuna an yubdilana khayran minha inna ila rabbina raghiboona

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

33 Kathalika alAAathabu walaAAathabu alakhirati akbaru law kanoo yaAAlamoona

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

34 Inna lilmuttaqeena AAinda rabbihim jannati alnnaAAeemi

Saheeh International

35 Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals?

Transliteration

35 AfanajAAalu almuslimeena kaalmujrimeena

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

36 Ma lakum kayfa tahkumoona

Saheeh International

37 Or do you have a scripture in which you learn

Transliteration

37 Am lakum kitabun feehi tadrusoona

Saheeh International

38 That indeed for you is whatever you choose?

Transliteration

38 Inna lakum feehi lama takhayyaroona

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

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

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

40 Salhum ayyuhum bithalika zaAAeemun

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

41 Am lahum shurakao falyatoo bishurakaihim in kanoo sadiqeena

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

42 Yawma yukshafu AAan saqin wayudAAawna ila alssujoodi fala yastateeAAoona

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

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

Saheeh International

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.

Transliteration

44 Fatharnee waman yukaththibu bihatha alhadeethi sanastadrijuhum min haythu la yaAAlamoona

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

45 Waomlee lahum inna kaydee mateenun

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

46 Am tasaluhum ajran fahum min maghramin muthqaloona

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

47 Am AAindahumu alghaybu fahum yaktuboona

Saheeh International

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.

Transliteration

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

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

49 Lawla an tadarakahu niAAmatun min rabbihi lanubitha bialAAarai wahuwa mathmoomun

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

50 Faijtabahu rabbuhu fajaAAalahu mina alssaliheena

Saheeh International

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."

Transliteration

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

Saheeh International

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

Transliteration

52 Wama huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena
