Verily that which ye are promised is true;
إنما توعدون لصادق
Innama tooAAadoona lasadiqun
And verily Judgment and Justice must indeed come to pass.
وإن الدين لواقع

By the Sky with (its) numerous Paths,
والسماء ذات الحبك
Waalssamai thati alhubuki
Truly ye are in a doctrine discordant,
إنكم لفي قول مختلف
Innakum lafee qawlin mukhtalifin
Through which are deluded (away from the Truth) such as would be deluded.
يؤفك عنه من أفك
Yufaku AAanhu man ofika
Woe to the falsehood - mongers, -
قتل الخراصون

Those who (flounder) heedless in a flood of confusion:
الذين هم في غمرة ساهون
Allatheena hum fee ghamratin sahoona
They ask, "When will be the Day of Judgment and Justice?"
يسألون أيان يوم الدين

(It will be) a Day when they will be tried (and tested) over the Fire!
يوم هم على النار يفتنون
Yawma hum AAala alnnari yuftanoona
"Taste ye your trial! This is what ye used to ask to be hastened!"
ذوقوا فتنتكم هذا الذي كنتم به تستعجلون
Thooqoo fitnatakum hatha allathee kuntum bihi tastaAAjiloona
As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs,
إن المتقين في جنات وعيون
Inna almuttaqeena fee jannatin waAAuyoonin
Taking joy in the things which their Lord gives them, because, before then, they lived a good life.
آخذين ما آتاهم ربهم ۚ إنهم كانوا قبل ذلك محسنين
Akhitheena ma atahum rabbuhum innahum kanoo qabla thalika muhsineena
They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night,
كانوا قليلا من الليل ما يهجعون
Kanoo qaleelan mina allayli ma yahjaAAoona
And in the hour of early dawn, they (were found) praying for Forgiveness;
وبالأسحار هم يستغفرون
Wabialashari hum yastaghfiroona
And in their wealth and possessions (was remembered) the right of the (needy,) him who asked, and him who (for some reason) was prevented (from asking).
وفي أموالهم حق للسائل والمحروم
Wafee amwalihim haqqun lilssaili waalmahroomi
On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith,
وفي الأرض آيات للموقنين
Wafee alardi ayatun lilmooqineena
As also in your own selves: Will ye not then see?
وفي أنفسكم ۚ أفلا تبصرون
Wafee anfusikum afala tubsiroona
And in heaven is your Sustenance, as (also) that which ye are promised.
وفي السماء رزقكم وما توعدون
Wafee alssamai rizqukum wama tooAAadoona
Then, by the Lord of heaven and earth, this is the very Truth, as much as the fact that ye can speak intelligently to each other.
فورب السماء والأرض إنه لحق مثل ما أنكم تنطقون
Fawarabbi alssamai waalardi innahu lahaqqun mithla ma annakum tantiqoona
Has the story reached thee, of the honoured guests of Abraham?
هل أتاك حديث ضيف إبراهيم المكرمين
Hal ataka hadeethu dayfi ibraheema almukrameena
Behold, they entered his presence, and said: "Peace!" He said, "Peace!" (and thought, "These seem) unusual people."
إذ دخلوا عليه فقالوا سلاما ۖ قال سلام قوم منكرون
Ith dakhaloo AAalayhi faqaloo salaman qala salamun qawmun munkaroona
Then he turned quickly to his household, brought out a fatted calf,
فراغ إلى أهله فجاء بعجل سمين
Faragha ila ahlihi fajaa biAAijlin sameenin
And placed it before them.. he said, "Will ye not eat?"
فقربه إليهم قال ألا تأكلون
Faqarrabahu ilayhim qala ala takuloona
(When they did not eat), He conceived a fear of them. They said, "Fear not," and they gave him glad tidings of a son endowed with knowledge.
فأوجس منهم خيفة ۖ قالوا لا تخف ۖ وبشروه بغلام عليم
Faawjasa minhum kheefatan qaloo la takhaf wabashsharoohu bighulamin AAaleemin
But his wife came forward (laughing) aloud: she smote her forehead and said: "A barren old woman!"
فأقبلت امرأته في صرة فصكت وجهها وقالت عجوز عقيم
Faaqbalati imraatuhu fee sarratin fasakkat wajhaha waqalat AAajoozun AAaqeemun
They said, "Even so has thy Lord spoken: and He is full of Wisdom and Knowledge."
قالوا كذلك قال ربك ۖ إنه هو الحكيم العليم
Qaloo kathaliki qala rabbuki innahu huwa alhakeemu alAAaleemu
(Abraham) said: "And what, O ye Messengers, is your errand (now)?"
۞ قال فما خطبكم أيها المرسلون

"To bring on, on them, (a shower of) stones of clay (brimstone),
لنرسل عليهم حجارة من طين
Linursila AAalayhim hijaratan min teenin
"Marked as from thy Lord for those who trespass beyond bounds."
مسومة عند ربك للمسرفين
Musawwamatan AAinda rabbika lilmusrifeena
Then We evacuated those of the Believers who were there,
فأخرجنا من كان فيها من المؤمنين
Faakhrajna man kana feeha mina almumineena
But We found not there any just (Muslim) persons except in one house:
فما وجدنا فيها غير بيت من المسلمين
Fama wajadna feeha ghayra baytin mina almuslimeena
And We left there a Sign for such as fear the Grievous Penalty.
وتركنا فيها آية للذين يخافون العذاب الأليم
Watarakna feeha ayatan lillatheena yakhafoona alAAathaba alaleema
And in Moses (was another Sign): Behold, We sent him to Pharaoh, with authority manifest.
وفي موسى إذ أرسلناه إلى فرعون بسلطان مبين
Wafee moosa ith arsalnahu ila firAAawna bisultanin mubeenin
But (Pharaoh) turned back with his Chiefs, and said, "A sorcerer, or one possessed!"
فتولى بركنه وقال ساحر أو مجنون
Fatawalla biruknihi waqala sahirun aw majnoonun
So We took him and his forces, and threw them into the sea; and his was the blame.

Faakhathnahu wajunoodahu fanabathnahum fee alyammi wahuwa muleemun
And in the 'Ad (people) (was another Sign): Behold, We sent against them the devastating Wind:
وفي عاد إذ أرسلنا عليهم الريح العقيم
Wafee AAadin ith arsalna AAalayhimu alrreeha alAAaqeema
It left nothing whatever that it came up against, but reduced it to ruin and rottenness.
ما تذر من شيء أتت عليه إلا جعلته كالرميم
Ma tatharu min shayin atat AAalayhi illa jaAAalathu kaalrrameemi
And in the Thamud (was another Sign): Behold, they were told, "Enjoy (your brief day) for a little while!"
وفي ثمود إذ قيل لهم تمتعوا حتى حين
Wafee thamooda ith qeela lahum tamattaAAoo hatta heenin
But they insolently defied the Command of their Lord: So the stunning noise (of an earthquake) seized them, even while they were looking on.
فعتوا عن أمر ربهم فأخذتهم الصاعقة وهم ينظرون
FaAAataw AAan amri rabbihim faakhathathumu alssaAAiqatu wahum yanthuroona
Then they could not even stand (on their feet), nor could they help themselves.
فما استطاعوا من قيام وما كانوا منتصرين
Fama istataAAoo min qiyamin wama kanoo muntasireena
So were the People of Noah before them for they wickedly transgressed.
وقوم نوح من قبل ۖ إنهم كانوا قوما فاسقين
Waqawma noohin min qablu innahum kanoo qawman fasiqeena
With power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of pace.
والسماء بنيناها بأيد وإنا لموسعون
Waalssamaa banaynaha biaydin wainna lamoosiAAoona
And We have spread out the (spacious) earth: How excellently We do spread out!
والأرض فرشناها فنعم الماهدون
Waalarda farashnaha faniAAma almahidoona
And of every thing We have created pairs: That ye may receive instruction.
ومن كل شيء خلقنا زوجين لعلكم تذكرون
Wamin kulli shayin khalaqna zawjayni laAAallakum tathakkaroona
Hasten ye then (at once) to Allah: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open!
ففروا إلى الله ۖ إني لكم منه نذير مبين
Fafirroo ila Allahi innee lakum minhu natheerun mubeenun
And make not another an object of worship with Allah: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open!
ولا تجعلوا مع الله إلها آخر ۖ إني لكم منه نذير مبين
Wala tajAAaloo maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara innee lakum minhu natheerun mubeenun
Similarly, no messenger came to the Peoples before them, but they said (of him) in like manner, "A sorcerer, or one possessed"!
كذلك ما أتى الذين من قبلهم من رسول إلا قالوا ساحر أو مجنون
Kathalika ma ata allatheena min qablihim min rasoolin illa qaloo sahirun aw majnoonun
Is this the legacy they have transmitted, one to another? Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds!
أتواصوا به ۚ بل هم قوم طاغون
Atawasaw bihi bal hum qawmun taghoona
So turn away from them: not thine is the blame.
فتول عنهم فما أنت بملوم
Fatawalla AAanhum fama anta bimaloomin
But teach (thy Message) for teaching benefits the Believers.
وذكر فإن الذكرى تنفع المؤمنين
Wathakkir fainna alththikra tanfaAAu almumineena
I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me.
وما خلقت الجن والإنس إلا ليعبدون
Wama khalaqtu aljinna waalinsa illa liyaAAbudooni
No Sustenance do I require of them, nor do I require that they should feed Me.
ما أريد منهم من رزق وما أريد أن يطعمون
Ma oreedu minhum min rizqin wama oreedu an yutAAimooni
For Allah is He Who gives (all) Sustenance, - Lord of Power, - Steadfast (for ever).
إن الله هو الرزاق ذو القوة المتين
Inna Allaha huwa alrrazzaqu thoo alquwwati almateenu
For the Wrong - doers, their portion is like unto the portion of their fellows (of earlier generations): then let them not ask Me to hasten (that portion)!
فإن للذين ظلموا ذنوبا مثل ذنوب أصحابهم فلا يستعجلون
Fainna lillatheena thalamoo thanooban mithla thanoobi ashabihim fala yastaAAjiloona
Woe, then, to the Unbelievers, on account of that Day of theirs which they have been promised!
فويل للذين كفروا من يومهم الذي يوعدون
Fawaylun lillatheena kafaroo min yawmihimu allathee yooAAadoona
