2 We have not sent down the Qur'an to thee to be (an occasion) for thy distress,

2 Ma anzalna AAalayka alqurana litashqa

3 But only as an admonition to those who fear (Allah), -

3 Illa tathkiratan liman yakhsha

4 A revelation from Him Who created the earth and the heavens on high.

4 Tanzeelan mimman khalaqa alarda waalssamawati alAAula

5 (Allah) Most Gracious is firmly established on the throne (of authority).

5 Alrrahmanu AAala alAAarshi istawa

6 To Him belongs what is in the heavens and on earth, and all between them, and all beneath the soil.

6 Lahu ma fee alssamawati wama fee alardi wama baynahuma wama tahta alththara

7 If thou pronounce the word aloud, (it is no matter): for verily He knoweth what is secret and what is yet more hidden.

7 Wain tajhar bialqawli fainnahu yaAAlamu alssirra waakhfa

8 Allah! there is no god but He! To Him belong the most Beautiful Names.

8 Allahu la ilaha illa huwa lahu alasmao alhusna

9 Has the story of Moses reached thee?

9 Wahal ataka hadeethu moosa

10 Behold, he saw a fire: So he said to his family, "Tarry ye; I perceive a fire; perhaps I can bring you some burning brand therefrom, or find some guidance at the fire."

10 Ith raa naran faqala liahlihi omkuthoo innee anastu naran laAAallee ateekum minha biqabasin aw ajidu AAala alnnari hudan

11 But when he came to the fire, a voice was heard: "O Moses!

11 Falamma ataha noodiya ya moosa

12 "Verily I am thy Lord! therefore (in My presence) put off thy shoes: thou art in the sacred valley Tuwa.

12 Innee ana rabbuka faikhlaAA naAAlayka innaka bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan

13 "I have chosen thee: listen, then, to the inspiration (sent to thee).

13 Waana ikhtartuka faistamiAA lima yooha

14 "Verily, I am Allah: There is no god but I: So serve thou Me (only), and establish regular prayer for celebrating My praise.

14 Innanee ana Allahu la ilaha illa ana faoAAbudnee waaqimi alssalata lithikree

15 "Verily the Hour is coming - My design is to keep it hidden - for every soul to receive its reward by the measure of its Endeavour.

15 Inna alssaAAata atiyatun akadu okhfeeha litujza kullu nafsin bima tasAAa

16 "Therefore let not such as believe not therein but follow their own lusts, divert thee therefrom, lest thou perish!"..

16 Fala yasuddannaka AAanha man la yuminu biha waittabaAAa hawahu fatarda

17 "And what is that in the right hand, O Moses?"

17 Wama tilka biyameenika ya moosa

18 He said, "It is my rod: on it I lean; with it I beat down fodder for my flocks; and in it I find other uses."

18 Qala hiya AAasaya atawakkao AAalayha waahushshu biha AAala ghanamee waliya feeha maaribu okhra

19 (Allah) said, "Throw it, O Moses!"

19 Qala alqiha ya moosa

20 He threw it, and behold! It was a snake, active in motion.

20 Faalqaha faitha hiya hayyatun tasAAa

21 (Allah) said, "Seize it, and fear not: We shall return it at once to its former condition"..

21 Qala khuthha wala takhaf sanuAAeeduha seerataha aloola

22 "Now draw thy hand close to thy side: It shall come forth white (and shining), without harm (or stain), - as another Sign, -

22 Waodmum yadaka ila janahika takhruj baydaa min ghayri sooin ayatan okhra

23 "In order that We may show thee (two) of our Greater Signs.

23 Linuriyaka min ayatina alkubra

24 "Go thou to Pharaoh, for he has indeed transgressed all bounds."

24 Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha

25 (Moses) said: "O my Lord! expand me my breast;

25 Qala rabbi ishrah lee sadree

26 "Ease my task for me;

26 Wayassir lee amree

27 "And remove the impediment from my speech,

27 Waohlul AAuqdatan min lisanee

28 "So they may understand what I say:

28 Yafqahoo qawlee

29 "And give me a Minister from my family,

29 WaijAAal lee wazeeran min ahlee

30 "Aaron, my brother;

30 Haroona akhee

31 "Add to my strength through him,

31 Oshdud bihi azree

32 "And make him share my task:

32 Waashrikhu fee amree

33 "That we may celebrate Thy praise without stint,

33 Kay nusabbihaka katheeran

34 "And remember Thee without stint:

34 Wanathkuraka katheeran

35 "For Thou art He that (ever) regardeth us."

35 Innaka kunta bina baseeran

36 (Allah) said: "Granted is thy prayer, O Moses!"

36 Qala qad ooteeta sulaka ya moosa

37 "And indeed We conferred a favour on thee another time (before).

37 Walaqad mananna AAalayka marratan okhra

38 "Behold! We sent to thy mother, by inspiration, the message:

38 Ith awhayna ila ommika ma yooha

39 "'Throw (the child) into the chest, and throw (the chest) into the river: the river will cast him up on the bank, and he will be taken up by one who is an enemy to Me and an enemy to him': But I cast (the garment of) love over thee from Me: and (this) in order that thou mayest be reared under Mine eye.

39 Ani iqthifeehi fee alttabooti faiqthifeehi fee alyammi falyulqihi alyammu bialssahili yakhuthhu AAaduwwun lee waAAaduwwun lahu waalqaytu AAalayka mahabbatan minnee walitusnaAAa AAala AAaynee

40 "Behold! thy sister goeth forth and saith, 'shall I show you one who will nurse and rear the (child)?' So We brought thee back to thy mother, that her eye might be cooled and she should not grieve. Then thou didst slay a man, but We saved thee from trouble, and We tried thee in various ways. Then didst thou tarry a number of years with the people of Midian. Then didst thou come hither as ordained, O Moses!

40 Ith tamshee okhtuka fataqoolu hal adullukum AAala man yakfuluhu farajaAAnaka ila ommika kay taqarra AAaynuha wala tahzana waqatalta nafsan fanajjaynaka mina alghammi wafatannaka futoonan falabithta sineena fee ahli madyana thumma jita AAala qadarin ya moosa

41 "And I have prepared thee for Myself (for service)"..

41 WaistanaAAtuka linafsee

42 "Go, thou and thy brother, with My Signs, and slacken not, either of you, in keeping Me in remembrance.

42 Ithhab anta waakhooka biayatee wala taniya fee thikree

43 "Go, both of you, to Pharaoh, for he has indeed transgressed all bounds;

43 Ithhaba ila firAAawna innahu tagha

44 "But speak to him mildly; perchance he may take warning or fear (Allah)."

44 Faqoola lahu qawlan layyinan laAAallahu yatathakkaru aw yakhsha

45 They (Moses and Aaron) said: "Our Lord! We fear lest he hasten with insolence against us, or lest he transgress all bounds."

45 Qala rabbana innana nakhafu an yafruta AAalayna aw an yatgha

46 He said: "Fear not: for I am with you: I hear and see (everything).

46 Qala la takhafa innanee maAAakuma asmaAAu waara

47 "So go ye both to him, and say, 'Verily we are messengers sent by thy Lord: Send forth, therefore, the Children of Israel with us, and afflict them not: with a Sign, indeed, have we come from thy Lord! and peace to all who follow guidance!

47 Fatiyahu faqoola inna rasoola rabbika faarsil maAAana banee israeela wala tuAAaththibhum qad jinaka biayatin min rabbika waalssalamu AAala mani ittabaAAa alhuda

48 "'Verily it has been revealed to us that the Penalty (awaits) those who reject and turn away.'"

48 Inna qad oohiya ilayna anna alAAathaba AAala man kaththaba watawalla

49 (When this message was delivered), (Pharaoh) said: "Who, then, O Moses, is the Lord of you two?"

49 Qala faman rabbukuma ya moosa

50 He said: "Our Lord is He Who gave to each (created) thing its form and nature, and further, gave (it) guidance."

50 Qala rabbuna allathee aAAta kulla shayin khalqahu thumma hada

51 (Pharaoh) said: "What then is the condition of previous generations?"

51 Qala fama balu alqurooni aloola

52 He replied: "The knowledge of that is with my Lord, duly recorded: my Lord never errs, nor forgets, -

52 Qala AAilmuha AAinda rabbee fee kitabin la yadillu rabbee wala yansa

53 "He Who has, made for you the earth like a carpet spread out; has enabled you to go about therein by roads (and channels); and has sent down water from the sky." With it have We produced diverse pairs of plants each separate from the others.

53 Allathee jaAAala lakumu alarda mahdan wasalaka lakum feeha subulan waanzala mina alssamai maan faakhrajna bihi azwajan min nabatin shatta

54 Eat (for yourselves) and pasture your cattle: verily, in this are Signs for men endued with understanding.

54 Kuloo wairAAaw anAAamakum inna fee thalika laayatin liolee alnnuha

55 From the (earth) did We create you, and into it shall We return you, and from it shall We bring you out once again.

55 Minha khalaqnakum wafeeha nuAAeedukum waminha nukhrijukum taratan okhra

56 And We showed Pharaoh all Our Signs, but he did reject and refuse.

56 Walaqad araynahu ayatina kullaha fakaththaba waaba

57 He said: "Hast thou come to drive us out of our land with thy magic, O Moses?

57 Qala ajitana litukhrijana min ardina bisihrika ya moosa

58 "But we can surely produce magic to match thine! So make a tryst between us and thee, which we shall not fail to keep - neither we nor thou - in a place where both shall have even chances."

58 Falanatiyannaka bisihrin mithlihi faijAAal baynana wabaynaka mawAAidan la nukhlifuhu nahnu wala anta makanan suwan

59 Moses said: "Your tryst is the Day of the Festival, and let the people be assembled when the sun is well up."

59 Qala mawAAidukum yawmu alzzeenati waan yuhshara alnnasu duhan

60 So Pharaoh withdrew: He concerted his plan, and then came (back).

60 Fatawalla firAAawnu fajamaAAa kaydahu thumma ata

61 Moses said to him: Woe to you! Forge not ye a lie against Allah, lest He destroy you (at once) utterly by chastisement: the forger must suffer frustration!"

61 Qala lahum moosa waylakum la taftaroo AAala Allahi kathiban fayushitakum biAAathabin waqad khaba mani iftara

62 So they disputed, one with another, over their affair, but they kept their talk secret.

62 FatanazaAAoo amrahum baynahum waasarroo alnnajwa

63 They said: "These two are certainly (expert) magicians: their object is to drive you out from your land with their magic, and to do away with your most cherished institutions.

63 Qaloo in hathani lasahirani yureedani an yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihima wayathhaba bitareeqatikumu almuthla

64 "Therefore concert your plan, and then assemble in (serried) ranks: He wins (all along) today who gains the upper hand."

64 FaajmiAAoo kaydakum thumma itoo saffan waqad aflaha alyawma mani istaAAla

65 They said: "O Moses! whether wilt thou that thou throw (first) or that we be the first to throw?"

65 Qaloo ya moosa imma an tulqiya waimma an nakoona awwala man alqa

66 He said, "Nay, throw ye first!" Then behold their ropes and their rods - so it seemed to him on account of their magic - began to be in lively motion!

66 Qala bal alqoo faitha hibaluhum waAAisiyyuhum yukhayyalu ilayhi min sihrihim annaha tasAAa

67 So Moses conceived in his mind a (sort of) fear.

67 Faawjasa fee nafsihi kheefatan moosa

68 We said: "Fear not! for thou hast indeed the upper hand:

68 Qulna la takhaf innaka anta alaAAla

69 "Throw that which is in thy right hand: Quickly will it swallow up that which they have faked what they have faked is but a magician's trick: and the magician thrives not, (no matter) where he goes."

69 Waalqi ma fee yameenika talqaf ma sanaAAoo innama sanaAAoo kaydu sahirin wala yuflihu alssahiru haythu ata

70 So the magicians were thrown down to prostration: they said, "We believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses".

70 Faolqiya alssaharatu sujjadan qaloo amanna birabbi haroona wamoosa

71 (Pharaoh) said: "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? Surely this must be your leader, who has taught you magic! be sure I will cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will have you crucified on trunks of palm - trees: so shall ye know for certain, which of us can give the more severe and the more lasting punishment!"

71 Qala amantum lahu qabla an athana lakum innahu lakabeerukumu allathee AAallamakumu alssihra falaoqattiAAanna aydiyakum waarjulakum min khilafin walaosallibannakum fee juthooAAi alnnakhli walataAAlamunna ayyuna ashaddu AAathaban waabqa

72 They said: "Never shall we regard thee as more than the Clear Signs that have come to us, or than Him Who created us! so decree whatever thou desirest to decree: for thou canst only decree (touching) the life of this world.

72 Qaloo lan nuthiraka AAala ma jaana mina albayyinati waallathee fatarana faiqdi ma anta qadin innama taqdee hathihi alhayata alddunya

73 "For us, we have believed in our Lord: may He forgive us our faults, and the magic to which thou didst compel us: for Allah is Best and Most Abiding."

73 Inna amanna birabbina liyaghfira lana khatayana wama akrahtana AAalayhi mina alssihri waAllahu khayrun waabqa

74 Verily he who comes to his Lord as a sinner (at Judgment), - for him is Hell: therein shall he neither die nor live.

74 Innahu man yati rabbahu mujriman fainna lahu jahannama la yamootu feeha wala yahya

75 But such as come to Him as Believers who have worked righteous deeds, - for them are ranks exalted, -

75 Waman yatihi muminan qad AAamila alssalihati faolaika lahumu alddarajatu alAAula

76 Gardens of Eternity, beneath which flow rivers: they will dwell therein for aye: such is the reward of those who purify themselves (from evil).

76 Jannatu AAadnin tajree min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha wathalika jazao man tazakka

77 We sent an inspiration to Moses: "Travel by night with My servants, and strike a dry path for them through the sea, without fear of being overtaken (by Pharaoh) and without (any other) fear."

77 Walaqad awhayna ila moosa an asri biAAibadee faidrib lahum tareeqan fee albahri yabasan la takhafu darakan wala takhsha

78 Then Pharaoh pursued them with his forces, but the waters completely overwhelmed them and covered them up.

78 FaatbaAAahum firAAawnu bijunoodihi faghashiyahum mina alyammi ma ghashiyahum

79 Pharaoh led his people astray instead of leading them aright.

79 Waadalla firAAawnu qawmahu wama hada

80 O ye Children of Israel! We delivered you from your enemy, and We made a Covenant with you on the right side of Mount (Sinai), and We sent down to you Manna and quails:

80 Ya banee israeela qad anjaynakum min AAaduwwikum wawaAAadnakum janiba alttoori alaymana wanazzalna AAalaykumu almanna waalssalwa

81 (Saying): "Eat of the good things We have provided for your sustenance, but commit no excess therein, lest My Wrath should justly descend on you: and those on whom descends My Wrath do perish indeed!

81 Kuloo min tayyibati ma razaqnakum wala tatghaw feehi fayahilla AAalaykum ghadabee waman yahlil AAalayhi ghadabee faqad hawa

82 "But, without doubt, I am (also) He that forgives again and again, to those who repent, believe, and do right, who, - in fine, are ready to receive true guidance."

82 Wainnee laghaffarun liman taba waamana waAAamila salihan thumma ihtada

83 (When Moses was up on the Mount, Allah said:) "What made thee hasten in advance of thy people, O Moses?"

83 Wama aAAjalaka AAan qawmika ya moosa

84 He replied: "Behold, they are close on my footsteps: I hastened to thee, O my Lord, to please thee."

84 Qala hum olai AAala atharee waAAajiltu ilayka rabbi litarda

85 (Allah) said: "We have tested thy people in thy absence: the Samiri has led them astray."

85 Qala fainna qad fatanna qawmaka min baAAdika waadallahumu alssamiriyyu

86 So Moses returned to his people in a state of indignation and sorrow. He said: "O my people! did not your Lord make a handsome promise to you? Did then the promise seem to you long (in coming)? Or did ye desire that Wrath should descend from your Lord on you, and so ye broke your promise to me?"

86 FarajaAAa moosa ila qawmihi ghadbana asifan qala ya qawmi alam yaAAidkum rabbukum waAAdan hasanan afatala AAalaykumu alAAahdu am aradtum an yahilla AAalaykum ghadabun min rabbikum faakhlaftum mawAAidee

87 They said: "We broke not the promise to thee, as far as lay in our power: but we were made to carry the weight of the ornaments of the (whole) people, and we threw them (into the fire), and that was what the Samiri suggested.

87 Qaloo ma akhlafna mawAAidaka bimalkina walakinna hummilna awzaran min zeenati alqawmi faqathafnaha fakathalika alqa alssamiriyyu

88 "Then he brought out (of the fire) before the (people) the image of a calf: It seemed to low: so they said: This is your god, and the god of Moses, but (Moses) has forgotten!"

88 Faakhraja lahum AAijlan jasadan lahu khuwarun faqaloo hatha ilahukum wailahu moosa fanasiya

89 Could they not see that it could not return them a word (for answer), and that it had no power either to harm them or to do them good?

89 Afala yarawna alla yarjiAAu ilayhim qawlan wala yamliku lahum darran wala nafAAan

90 Aaron had already, before this said to them: "O my people! ye are being tested in this: for verily your Lord is (Allah) Most Gracious; so follow me and obey my command."

90 Walaqad qala lahum haroonu min qablu ya qawmi innama futintum bihi wainna rabbakumu alrrahmanu faittabiAAoonee waateeAAoo amree

91 They had said: "We will not abandon this cult, but we will devote ourselves to it until Moses returns to us."

91 Qaloo lan nabraha AAalayhi AAakifeena hatta yarjiAAa ilayna moosa

92 (Moses) said: "O Aaron! what kept thee back, when thou sawest them going wrong,

92 Qala ya haroonu ma manaAAaka ith raaytahum dalloo

93 "From following me? Didst thou then disobey my order?"

93 Alla tattabiAAani afaAAasayta amree

94 (Aaron) replied: "O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard nor by (the hair of) my head! Truly I feared lest thou shouldst say, 'Thou has caused a division among the children of Israel, and thou didst not respect my word!'"

94 Qala ya bna omma la takhuth bilihyatee wala birasee innee khasheetu an taqoola farraqta bayna banee israeela walam tarqub qawlee

95 (Moses) said: "What then is thy case, O Samiri?"

95 Qala fama khatbuka ya samiriyyu

96 He replied: "I saw what they saw not: so I took a handful (of dust) from the footprint of the Messenger, and threw it (into the calf): thus did my soul suggest to me."

96 Qala basurtu bima lam yabsuroo bihi faqabadtu qabdatan min athari alrrasooli fanabathtuha wakathalika sawwalat lee nafsee

97 (Moses) said: "Get thee gone! but thy (punishment) in this life will be that thou wilt say, 'touch me not'; and moreover (for a future penalty) thou hast a promise that will not fail: Now look at thy god, of whom thou hast become a devoted worshipper: We will certainly (melt) it in a blazing fire and scatter it broadcast in the sea!"

97 Qala faithhab fainna laka fee alhayati an taqoola la misasa wainna laka mawAAidan lan tukhlafahu waonthur ila ilahika allathee thalta AAalayhi AAakifan lanuharriqannahu thumma lanansifannahu fee alyammi nasfan

98 But the god of you all is the One Allah: there is no god but He: all things He comprehends in His knowledge.

98 Innama ilahukumu Allahu allathee la ilaha illa huwa wasiAAa kulla shayin AAilman

99 Thus do We relate to thee some stories of what happened before: for We have sent thee a Message from Our own Presence.

99 Kathalika naqussu AAalayka min anbai ma qad sabaqa waqad ataynaka min ladunna thikran

100 If any do turn away therefrom, verily they will bear a burden on the Day of judgment;

100 Man aAArada AAanhu fainnahu yahmilu yawma alqiyamati wizran

101 They will abide in this (state): and grievous will the burden be to them on that Day, -

101 Khalideena feehi wasaa lahum yawma alqiyamati himlan

102 The Day when the Trumpet will be sounded: that Day, We shall gather the sinful, blear - eyed (with terror).

102 Yawma yunfakhu fee alssoori wanahshuru almujrimeena yawmaithin zurqan

103 In whispers will they consult each other: "Yet tarried not longer than ten (Days);

103 Yatakhafatoona baynahum in labithtum illa AAashran

104 We know best what they will say, when their leader most eminent in conduct will say: "Ye tarried not longer than a day!"

104 Nahnu aAAlamu bima yaqooloona ith yaqoolu amthaluhum tareeqatan in labithtum illa yawman

105 They ask thee concerning the Mountains: say, "My Lord will uproot them and scatter them as dust;

105 Wayasaloonaka AAani aljibali faqul yansifuha rabbee nasfan

106 "He will leave them as plains smooth and level;

106 Fayatharuha qaAAan safsafan

107 "Nothing crooked or curved wilt thou see in their place."

107 La tara feeha AAiwajan wala amtan

108 On that Day will they follow the Caller (straight): no crookedness (can they show) him: all sounds shall humble themselves in the Presence of (Allah) Most Gracious: nothing shalt thou hear but the tramp of their feet (as they march).

108 Yawmaithin yattabiAAoona alddaAAiya la AAiwaja lahu wakhashaAAati alaswatu lilrrahmani fala tasmaAAu illa hamsan

109 On that Day shall no intercession avail except for those for whom permission has been granted by (Allah) Most Gracious and whose word is acceptable to Him.

109 Yawmaithin la tanfaAAu alshshafaAAatu illa man athina lahu alrrahmanu waradiya lahu qawlan

110 He knows what (appears to His creatures as) before or after or behind them: but they shall not compass it with their knowledge.

110 YaAAlamu ma bayna aydeehim wama khalfahum wala yuheetoona bihi AAilman

111 (All) faces shall be humbled before (Him) - the Living, the Self - Subsisting, Eternal: hopeless indeed will be the man that carries iniquity (on his back).

111 WaAAanati alwujoohu lilhayyi alqayyoomi waqad khaba man hamala thulman

112 But he who works deeds of righteousness, and has faith, will have no fear of harm nor of any curtailment (of what is his due).

112 Waman yaAAmal mina alssalihati wahuwa muminun fala yakhafu thulman wala hadman

113 Thus have We sent this down - an arabic Qur'an - and explained therein in detail some of the warnings, in order that they may fear Allah, or that it may cause their remembrance (of Him).

113 Wakathalika anzalnahu quranan AAarabiyyan wasarrafna feehi mina alwaAAeedi laAAallahum yattaqoona aw yuhdithu lahum thikran

114 High above all is Allah, the King, the Truth! Be not in haste with the Qur'an before its revelation to thee is completed, but say, "O my Lord! advance me in knowledge."

114 FataAAala Allahu almaliku alhaqqu wala taAAjal bialqurani min qabli an yuqda ilayka wahyuhu waqul rabbi zidnee AAilman

115 We had already, beforehand, taken the covenant of Adam, but he forgot: and We found on his part no firm resolve.

115 Walaqad AAahidna ila adama min qablu fanasiya walam najid lahu AAazman

116 When We said to the angels, "Prostrate yourselves to Adam", they prostrated themselves, but not Iblis: he refused.

116 Waith qulna lilmalaikati osjudoo liadama fasajadoo illa ibleesa aba

117 Then We said: "O Adam! verily, this is an enemy to thee and thy wife: so let him not get you both out of the Garden, so that thou art landed in misery.

117 Faqulna ya adamu inna hatha AAaduwwun laka walizawjika fala yukhrijannakuma mina aljannati fatashqa

118 "There is therein (enough provision) for thee not to go hungry nor to go naked,

118 Inna laka alla tajooAAa feeha wala taAAra

119 "Nor to suffer from thirst, nor from the sun's heat."

119 Waannaka la tathmao feeha wala tadha

120 But Satan whispered evil to him: he said, "O Adam! shall I lead thee to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that never decays?"

120 Fawaswasa ilayhi alshshaytanu qala ya adamu hal adulluka AAala shajarati alkhuldi wamulkin la yabla

121 In the result, they both ate of the tree, and so their nakedness appeared to them: they began to sew together, for their covering, leaves from the Garden: thus did Adam disobey his Lord, and allow himself to be seduced.

121 Faakala minha fabadat lahuma sawatuhuma watafiqa yakhsifani AAalayhima min waraqi aljannati waAAasa adamu rabbahu faghawa

122 But his Lord chose him (for His Grace): He turned to him, and gave him Guidance.

122 Thumma ijtabahu rabbuhu fataba AAalayhi wahada

123 He said: "Get ye down, both of you, - all together, from the Garden, with enmity one to another: but if, as is sure, there comes to you Guidance from Me, whosoever follows My Guidance, will not lose his way, nor fall into misery.

123 Qala ihbita minha jameeAAan baAAdukum libaAAdin AAaduwwun faimma yatiyannakum minnee hudan famani ittabaAAa hudaya fala yadillu wala yashqa

124 "But whosoever turns away from My Message, verily for him is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment."

124 Waman aAArada AAan thikree fainna lahu maAAeeshatan dankan wanahshuruhu yawma alqiyamati aAAman

125 He will say: "O my Lord! why hast Thou raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)?"

125 Qala rabbi lima hashartanee aAAma waqad kuntu baseeran

126 (Allah) will say: "Thus didst Thou, when Our Signs came unto thee, disregard them: so wilt thou, this day, be disregarded."

126 Qala kathalika atatka ayatuna fanaseetaha wakathalika alyawma tunsa

127 And thus do We recompense him who transgresses beyond bounds and believes not in the Signs of his Lord: and the Penalty of the Hereafter is far more grievous and more enduring.

127 Wakathalika najzee man asrafa walam yumin biayati rabbihi walaAAathabu alakhirati ashaddu waabqa

128 Is it not a warning to such men (to call to mind) how many generations before them We destroyed, in whose haunts they (now) move? Verily, in this are Signs for men endued with understanding.

128 Afalam yahdi lahum kam ahlakna qablahum mina alqurooni yamshoona fee masakinihim inna fee thalika laayatin liolee alnnuha

129 Had it not been for a Word that went forth before from thy Lord, (their punishment) must necessarily have come; but there is a Term appointed (for respite).

129 Walawla kalimatun sabaqat min rabbika lakana lizaman waajalun musamman

130 Therefore be patient with what they say, and celebrate (constantly) the praises of thy Lord, before the rising of the sun, and before its setting; yea, celebrate them for part of the hours of the night, and at the sides of the day: that thou mayest have (spiritual) joy.

130 Faisbir AAala ma yaqooloona wasabbih bihamdi rabbika qabla tulooAAi alshshamsi waqabla ghuroobiha wamin anai allayli fasabbih waatrafa alnnahari laAAallaka tarda

131 Nor strain thine eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to parties of them, the splendour of the life of this world, through which We test them: but the provision of thy Lord is better and more enduring.

131 Wala tamuddanna AAaynayka ila ma mattaAAna bihi azwajan minhum zahrata alhayati alddunya linaftinahum feehi warizqu rabbika khayrun waabqa

132 Enjoin prayer on thy people, and be constant therein. We ask thee not to provide sustenance: We provide it for thee. But the (fruit of) the Hereafter is for righteousness.

132 Wamur ahlaka bialssalati waistabir AAalayha la nasaluka rizqan nahnu narzuquka waalAAaqibatu lilttaqwa

133 They say: "Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?" Has not a Clear Sign come to them of all that was in the former Books of revelation?

133 Waqaloo lawla yateena biayatin min rabbihi awalam tatihim bayyinatu ma fee alssuhufi aloola

134 And if We had inflicted on them a penalty before this, they would have said: "Our Lord! If only Thou hadst sent us a messenger, we should certainly have followed Thy Signs before we were humbled and put to shame."

134 Walaw anna ahlaknahum biAAathabin min qablihi laqaloo rabbana lawla arsalta ilayna rasoolan fanattabiAAa ayatika min qabli an nathilla wanakhza

135 Say: "Each one (of us) is waiting: wait ye, therefore, and soon shall ye know who it is that is on the straight and even way, and who it is that has received Guidance."

135 Qul kullun mutarabbisun fatarabbasoo fasataAAlamoona man ashabu alssirati alssawiyyi wamani ihtada
