لَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعࣱ نَّفۡسَكَ أَلَّا یَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِینَ ﴿٣﴾
Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.
إِن نَّشَأۡ نُنَزِّلۡ عَلَیۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ ءَایَةࣰ فَظَلَّتۡ أَعۡنَـٰقُهُمۡ لَهَا خَـٰضِعِینَ ﴿٤﴾
If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.
وَمَا یَأۡتِیهِم مِّن ذِكۡرࣲ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ مُحۡدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضِینَ ﴿٥﴾
And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.
فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُواْ فَسَیَأۡتِیهِمۡ أَنۢبَـٰۤؤُاْ مَا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ یَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ ﴿٦﴾
For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.
أَوَلَمۡ یَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمۡ أَنۢبَتۡنَا فِیهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجࣲ كَرِیمٍ ﴿٧﴾
Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?
إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَـَٔایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ ﴿٨﴾
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ﴿٩﴾
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
وَإِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰۤ أَنِ ٱئۡتِ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِینَ ﴿١٠﴾
And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّیۤ أَخَافُ أَن یُكَذِّبُونِ ﴿١٢﴾
He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me
وَیَضِیقُ صَدۡرِی وَلَا یَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِی فَأَرۡسِلۡ إِلَىٰ هَـٰرُونَ ﴿١٣﴾
And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.
وَلَهُمۡ عَلَیَّ ذَنۢبࣱ فَأَخَافُ أَن یَقۡتُلُونِ ﴿١٤﴾
And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."
قَالَ كَلَّاۖ فَٱذۡهَبَا بِـَٔایَـٰتِنَاۤۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسۡتَمِعُونَ ﴿١٥﴾
[Allah] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.
فَأۡتِیَا فِرۡعَوۡنَ فَقُولَاۤ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ﴿١٦﴾
Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,
أَنۡ أَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ ﴿١٧﴾
[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"
قَالَ أَلَمۡ نُرَبِّكَ فِینَا وَلِیدࣰا وَلَبِثۡتَ فِینَا مِنۡ عُمُرِكَ سِنِینَ ﴿١٨﴾
[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?
وَفَعَلۡتَ فَعۡلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِی فَعَلۡتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِینَ ﴿١٩﴾
And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."
قَالَ فَعَلۡتُهَاۤ إِذࣰا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّاۤلِّینَ ﴿٢٠﴾
[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray.
فَفَرَرۡتُ مِنكُمۡ لَمَّا خِفۡتُكُمۡ فَوَهَبَ لِی رَبِّی حُكۡمࣰا وَجَعَلَنِی مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ ﴿٢١﴾
So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and prophethood and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.
وَتِلۡكَ نِعۡمَةࣱ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَیَّ أَنۡ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ ﴿٢٢﴾
And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"
قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ﴿٢٣﴾
Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"
قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَاۤۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِینَ ﴿٢٤﴾
[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."
قَالَ لِمَنۡ حَوۡلَهُۥۤ أَلَا تَسۡتَمِعُونَ ﴿٢٥﴾
[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"
قَالَ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَاۤىِٕكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ ﴿٢٦﴾
[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."
قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِیۤ أُرۡسِلَ إِلَیۡكُمۡ لَمَجۡنُونࣱ ﴿٢٧﴾
[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."
قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَاۤۖ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ ﴿٢٨﴾
[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."
قَالَ لَىِٕنِ ٱتَّخَذۡتَ إِلَـٰهًا غَیۡرِی لَأَجۡعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجُونِینَ ﴿٢٩﴾
[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."
قَالَ أَوَلَوۡ جِئۡتُكَ بِشَیۡءࣲ مُّبِینࣲ ﴿٣٠﴾
[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest?"
قَالَ فَأۡتِ بِهِۦۤ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِینَ ﴿٣١﴾
[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."
فَأَلۡقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِیَ ثُعۡبَانࣱ مُّبِینࣱ ﴿٣٢﴾
So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.
وَنَزَعَ یَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِیَ بَیۡضَاۤءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِینَ ﴿٣٣﴾
And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.
قَالَ لِلۡمَلَإِ حَوۡلَهُۥۤ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرٌ عَلِیمࣱ ﴿٣٤﴾
[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.
یُرِیدُ أَن یُخۡرِجَكُم مِّنۡ أَرۡضِكُم بِسِحۡرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأۡمُرُونَ ﴿٣٥﴾
He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"
قَالُوۤاْ أَرۡجِهۡ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبۡعَثۡ فِی ٱلۡمَدَاۤىِٕنِ حَـٰشِرِینَ ﴿٣٦﴾
They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِیقَـٰتِ یَوۡمࣲ مَّعۡلُومࣲ ﴿٣٨﴾
So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.
وَقِیلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّجۡتَمِعُونَ ﴿٣٩﴾
And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate
لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبِینَ ﴿٤٠﴾
That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"
فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُواْ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ أَىِٕنَّ لَنَا لَأَجۡرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبِینَ ﴿٤١﴾
And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"
قَالَ نَعَمۡ وَإِنَّكُمۡ إِذࣰا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِینَ ﴿٤٢﴾
He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰۤ أَلۡقُواْ مَاۤ أَنتُم مُّلۡقُونَ ﴿٤٣﴾
Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."
فَأَلۡقَوۡاْ حِبَالَهُمۡ وَعِصِیَّهُمۡ وَقَالُواْ بِعِزَّةِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبُونَ ﴿٤٤﴾
So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."
فَأَلۡقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِیَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا یَأۡفِكُونَ ﴿٤٥﴾
Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.
قَالُوۤاْ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ﴿٤٧﴾
They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,
قَالَ ءَامَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ قَبۡلَ أَنۡ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِیرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِی عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحۡرَ فَلَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَیۡدِیَكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَـٰفࣲ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِینَ ﴿٤٩﴾
[Pharaoh] said, "You believed Moses before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."
قَالُواْ لَا ضَیۡرَۖ إِنَّاۤ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ ﴿٥٠﴾
They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.
إِنَّا نَطۡمَعُ أَن یَغۡفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَـٰیَـٰنَاۤ أَن كُنَّاۤ أَوَّلَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ﴿٥١﴾
Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."
۞ وَأَوۡحَیۡنَاۤ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰۤ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِیۤ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ ﴿٥٢﴾
And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."
فَأَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِی ٱلۡمَدَاۤىِٕنِ حَـٰشِرِینَ ﴿٥٣﴾
Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers
كَذَ ٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَـٰهَا بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ ﴿٥٩﴾
Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.
فَلَمَّا تَرَ ٰۤءَا ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ قَالَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰۤ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ ﴿٦١﴾
And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"
قَالَ كَلَّاۤۖ إِنَّ مَعِیَ رَبِّی سَیَهۡدِینِ ﴿٦٢﴾
[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."
فَأَوۡحَیۡنَاۤ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰۤ أَنِ ٱضۡرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرۡقࣲ كَٱلطَّوۡدِ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ ﴿٦٣﴾
Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.
وَأَنجَیۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥۤ أَجۡمَعِینَ ﴿٦٥﴾
And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.
إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَـَٔایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ ﴿٦٧﴾
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ﴿٦٨﴾
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِیهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ ﴿٧٠﴾
When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?"
قَالُواْ نَعۡبُدُ أَصۡنَامࣰا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَـٰكِفِینَ ﴿٧١﴾
They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."
قَالُواْ بَلۡ وَجَدۡنَاۤ ءَابَاۤءَنَا كَذَ ٰلِكَ یَفۡعَلُونَ ﴿٧٤﴾
They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."
قَالَ أَفَرَءَیۡتُم مَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ ﴿٧٥﴾
He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,
فَإِنَّهُمۡ عَدُوࣱّ لِّیۤ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ﴿٧٧﴾
Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,
وَٱلَّذِیۤ أَطۡمَعُ أَن یَغۡفِرَ لِی خَطِیۤـَٔتِی یَوۡمَ ٱلدِّینِ ﴿٨٢﴾
And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense."
رَبِّ هَبۡ لِی حُكۡمࣰا وَأَلۡحِقۡنِی بِٱلصَّـٰلِحِینَ ﴿٨٣﴾
[And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous.
وَٱجۡعَل لِّی لِسَانَ صِدۡقࣲ فِی ٱلۡـَٔاخِرِینَ ﴿٨٤﴾
And grant me a reputation of honor among later generations.
وَٱجۡعَلۡنِی مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِیمِ ﴿٨٥﴾
And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure.
وَٱغۡفِرۡ لِأَبِیۤ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّاۤلِّینَ ﴿٨٦﴾
And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray.
وَلَا تُخۡزِنِی یَوۡمَ یُبۡعَثُونَ ﴿٨٧﴾
And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected -
یَوۡمَ لَا یَنفَعُ مَالࣱ وَلَا بَنُونَ ﴿٨٨﴾
The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children
إِلَّا مَنۡ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلۡبࣲ سَلِیمࣲ ﴿٨٩﴾
But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart."
وَأُزۡلِفَتِ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِینَ ﴿٩٠﴾
And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous.
وَقِیلَ لَهُمۡ أَیۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ ﴿٩٢﴾
And it will be said to them, "Where are those you used to worship
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلۡ یَنصُرُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ یَنتَصِرُونَ ﴿٩٣﴾
Other than Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?"
فَكُبۡكِبُواْ فِیهَا هُمۡ وَٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ ﴿٩٤﴾
So they will be overturned into Hellfire, they and the deviators
فَلَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةࣰ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ﴿١٠٢﴾
Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers... "
إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَـَٔایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ ﴿١٠٣﴾
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ﴿١٠٤﴾
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿١٠٦﴾
When their brother Noah said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?
وَمَاۤ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ﴿١٠٩﴾
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
۞ قَالُوۤاْ أَنُؤۡمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلۡأَرۡذَلُونَ ﴿١١١﴾
They said, "Should we believe you while you are followed by the lowest [class of people]?"
قَالَ وَمَا عِلۡمِی بِمَا كَانُواْ یَعۡمَلُونَ ﴿١١٢﴾
He said, "And what is my knowledge of what they used to do?
إِنۡ حِسَابُهُمۡ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّیۖ لَوۡ تَشۡعُرُونَ ﴿١١٣﴾
Their account is only upon my Lord, if you [could] perceive.
قَالُواْ لَىِٕن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ یَـٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَرۡجُومِینَ ﴿١١٦﴾
They said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned."
فَٱفۡتَحۡ بَیۡنِی وَبَیۡنَهُمۡ فَتۡحࣰا وَنَجِّنِی وَمَن مَّعِیَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ﴿١١٨﴾
Then judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers."
فَأَنجَیۡنَـٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِی ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ ﴿١١٩﴾
So We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.
إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَـَٔایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ ﴿١٢١﴾
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ﴿١٢٢﴾
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿١٢٤﴾
When their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?
وَمَاۤ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ﴿١٢٧﴾
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
أَتَبۡنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِیعٍ ءَایَةࣰ تَعۡبَثُونَ ﴿١٢٨﴾
Do you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves,
وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَخۡلُدُونَ ﴿١٢٩﴾
And take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally?
وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱلَّذِیۤ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ﴿١٣٢﴾
And fear He who provided you with that which you know,
إِنِّیۤ أَخَافُ عَلَیۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ یَوۡمٍ عَظِیمࣲ ﴿١٣٥﴾
Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day."
قَالُواْ سَوَاۤءٌ عَلَیۡنَاۤ أَوَعَظۡتَ أَمۡ لَمۡ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡوَ ٰعِظِینَ ﴿١٣٦﴾
They said, "It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors.
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهۡلَكۡنَـٰهُمۡۚ إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَـَٔایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ ﴿١٣٩﴾
And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ﴿١٤٠﴾
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ صَـٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿١٤٢﴾
When their brother Salih said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?
وَمَاۤ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ﴿١٤٥﴾
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
أَتُتۡرَكُونَ فِی مَا هَـٰهُنَاۤ ءَامِنِینَ ﴿١٤٦﴾
Will you be left in what is here, secure [from death],
وَتَنۡحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ بُیُوتࣰا فَـٰرِهِینَ ﴿١٤٩﴾
And you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill.
ٱلَّذِینَ یُفۡسِدُونَ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا یُصۡلِحُونَ ﴿١٥٢﴾
Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend."
قَالُوۤاْ إِنَّمَاۤ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَحَّرِینَ ﴿١٥٣﴾
They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.
مَاۤ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرࣱ مِّثۡلُنَا فَأۡتِ بِـَٔایَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِینَ ﴿١٥٤﴾
You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful."
قَالَ هَـٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةࣱ لَّهَا شِرۡبࣱ وَلَكُمۡ شِرۡبُ یَوۡمࣲ مَّعۡلُومࣲ ﴿١٥٥﴾
He said, "This is a she-camel. For her is a [time of] drink, and for you is a [time of] drink, [each] on a known day.
وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوۤءࣲ فَیَأۡخُذَكُمۡ عَذَابُ یَوۡمٍ عَظِیمࣲ ﴿١٥٦﴾
And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day."
فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُۚ إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَـَٔایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ ﴿١٥٨﴾
And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ﴿١٥٩﴾
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿١٦١﴾
When their brother Lot said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?
وَمَاۤ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ﴿١٦٤﴾
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمۡ رَبُّكُم مِّنۡ أَزۡوَ ٰجِكُمۚ بَلۡ أَنتُمۡ قَوۡمٌ عَادُونَ ﴿١٦٦﴾
And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing."
قَالُواْ لَىِٕن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ یَـٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمُخۡرَجِینَ ﴿١٦٧﴾
They said, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted."
قَالَ إِنِّی لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقَالِینَ ﴿١٦٨﴾
He said, "Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest [it].
رَبِّ نَجِّنِی وَأَهۡلِی مِمَّا یَعۡمَلُونَ ﴿١٦٩﴾
My Lord, save me and my family from [the consequence of] what they do."
وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَیۡهِم مَّطَرࣰاۖ فَسَاۤءَ مَطَرُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِینَ ﴿١٧٣﴾
And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.
إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَـَٔایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ ﴿١٧٤﴾
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ﴿١٧٥﴾
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
كَذَّبَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ لۡـَٔیۡكَةِ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ ﴿١٧٦﴾
The companions of the thicket denied the messengers
إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ شُعَیۡبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿١٧٧﴾
When Shu'ayb said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?
وَمَاۤ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ﴿١٨٠﴾
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
۞ أَوۡفُواْ ٱلۡكَیۡلَ وَلَا تَكُونُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡمُخۡسِرِینَ ﴿١٨١﴾
Give full measure and do not be of those who cause loss.
وَلَا تَبۡخَسُواْ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشۡیَاۤءَهُمۡ وَلَا تَعۡثَوۡاْ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُفۡسِدِینَ ﴿١٨٣﴾
And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption.
وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱلَّذِی خَلَقَكُمۡ وَٱلۡجِبِلَّةَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ ﴿١٨٤﴾
And fear He who created you and the former creation."
قَالُوۤاْ إِنَّمَاۤ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَحَّرِینَ ﴿١٨٥﴾
They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.
وَمَاۤ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرࣱ مِّثۡلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡكَـٰذِبِینَ ﴿١٨٦﴾
You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars.
فَأَسۡقِطۡ عَلَیۡنَا كِسَفࣰا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِینَ ﴿١٨٧﴾
So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful."
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمۡ عَذَابُ یَوۡمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ یَوۡمٍ عَظِیمٍ ﴿١٨٩﴾
And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day.
إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَـَٔایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ ﴿١٩٠﴾
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ﴿١٩١﴾
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِیلُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ﴿١٩٢﴾
And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.
عَلَىٰ قَلۡبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنذِرِینَ ﴿١٩٤﴾
Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners -
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِی زُبُرِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ ﴿١٩٦﴾
And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.
أَوَلَمۡ یَكُن لَّهُمۡ ءَایَةً أَن یَعۡلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَـٰۤؤُاْ بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ ﴿١٩٧﴾
And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?
وَلَوۡ نَزَّلۡنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضِ ٱلۡأَعۡجَمِینَ ﴿١٩٨﴾
And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners
فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَیۡهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنِینَ ﴿١٩٩﴾
And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.
كَذَ ٰلِكَ سَلَكۡنَـٰهُ فِی قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ ﴿٢٠٠﴾
Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals.
لَا یُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ یَرَوُاْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِیمَ ﴿٢٠١﴾
They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.
فَیَأۡتِیَهُم بَغۡتَةࣰ وَهُمۡ لَا یَشۡعُرُونَ ﴿٢٠٢﴾
And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.
أَفَرَءَیۡتَ إِن مَّتَّعۡنَـٰهُمۡ سِنِینَ ﴿٢٠٥﴾
Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years
ثُمَّ جَاۤءَهُم مَّا كَانُواْ یُوعَدُونَ ﴿٢٠٦﴾
And then there came to them that which they were promised?
مَاۤ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ یُمَتَّعُونَ ﴿٢٠٧﴾
They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.
وَمَاۤ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡیَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ ﴿٢٠٨﴾
And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners
وَمَا یَنۢبَغِی لَهُمۡ وَمَا یَسۡتَطِیعُونَ ﴿٢١١﴾
It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.
فَلَا تَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُعَذَّبِینَ ﴿٢١٣﴾
So do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished.
وَٱخۡفِضۡ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ﴿٢١٥﴾
And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers.
فَإِنۡ عَصَوۡكَ فَقُلۡ إِنِّی بَرِیۤءࣱ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ ﴿٢١٦﴾
And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."
هَلۡ أُنَبِّئُكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّیَـٰطِینُ ﴿٢٢١﴾
Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?
یُلۡقُونَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ كَـٰذِبُونَ ﴿٢٢٣﴾
They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.
أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِی كُلِّ وَادࣲ یَهِیمُونَ ﴿٢٢٥﴾
Do you not see that in every valley they roam
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَذَكَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ كَثِیرࣰا وَٱنتَصَرُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ظُلِمُواْۗ وَسَیَعۡلَمُ ٱلَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوۤاْ أَیَّ مُنقَلَبࣲ یَنقَلِبُونَ ﴿٢٢٧﴾
Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.
