رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلۡمَشَـٰرِقِ ﴿٥﴾
Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises.
إِنَّا زَیَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَاۤءَ ٱلدُّنۡیَا بِزِینَةٍ ٱلۡكَوَاكِبِ ﴿٦﴾
Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars
لَّا یَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡمَلَإِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ وَیُقۡذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبࣲ ﴿٨﴾
[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side,
إِلَّا مَنۡ خَطِفَ ٱلۡخَطۡفَةَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُۥ شِهَابࣱ ثَاقِبࣱ ﴿١٠﴾
Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].
فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَهُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَم مَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَاۤۚ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَـٰهُم مِّن طِینࣲ لَّازِبِۭ ﴿١١﴾
Then inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?" Indeed, We created men from sticky clay.
أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابࣰا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ ﴿١٦﴾
When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
فَإِنَّمَا هِیَ زَجۡرَةࣱ وَ ٰحِدَةࣱ فَإِذَا هُمۡ یَنظُرُونَ ﴿١٩﴾
It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.
وَقَالُواْ یَـٰوَیۡلَنَا هَـٰذَا یَوۡمُ ٱلدِّینِ ﴿٢٠﴾
They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."
هَـٰذَا یَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ٱلَّذِی كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ﴿٢١﴾
[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."
۞ ٱحۡشُرُواْ ٱلَّذِینَ ظَلَمُواْ وَأَزۡوَ ٰجَهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُواْ یَعۡبُدُونَ ﴿٢٢﴾
[The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهۡدُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَ ٰطِ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ ﴿٢٣﴾
Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire
مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ ﴿٢٥﴾
[They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?"
وَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضࣲ یَتَسَاۤءَلُونَ ﴿٢٧﴾
And they will approach one another blaming each other.
قَالُوۤاْ إِنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ تَأۡتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلۡیَمِینِ ﴿٢٨﴾
They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."
قَالُواْ بَل لَّمۡ تَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِینَ ﴿٢٩﴾
The oppressors will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَیۡكُم مِّن سُلۡطَـٰنِۭۖ بَلۡ كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمࣰا طَـٰغِینَ ﴿٣٠﴾
And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.
فَحَقَّ عَلَیۡنَا قَوۡلُ رَبِّنَاۤۖ إِنَّا لَذَاۤىِٕقُونَ ﴿٣١﴾
So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].
فَأَغۡوَیۡنَـٰكُمۡ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَـٰوِینَ ﴿٣٢﴾
And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."
فَإِنَّهُمۡ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ فِی ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُونَ ﴿٣٣﴾
So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment.
إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوۤاْ إِذَا قِیلَ لَهُمۡ لَاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ یَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ ﴿٣٥﴾
Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah," were arrogant
وَیَقُولُونَ أَىِٕنَّا لَتَارِكُوۤاْ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرࣲ مَّجۡنُونِۭ ﴿٣٦﴾
And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"
بَلۡ جَاۤءَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ ﴿٣٧﴾
Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.
إِنَّكُمۡ لَذَاۤىِٕقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡأَلِیمِ ﴿٣٨﴾
Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment,
وَمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ﴿٣٩﴾
And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do -
یُطَافُ عَلَیۡهِم بِكَأۡسࣲ مِّن مَّعِینِۭ ﴿٤٥﴾
There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring,
لَا فِیهَا غَوۡلࣱ وَلَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا یُنزَفُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾
No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated.
وَعِندَهُمۡ قَـٰصِرَ ٰتُ ٱلطَّرۡفِ عِینࣱ ﴿٤٨﴾
And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes,
فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضࣲ یَتَسَاۤءَلُونَ ﴿٥٠﴾
And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.
قَالَ قَاۤىِٕلࣱ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِنِّی كَانَ لِی قَرِینࣱ ﴿٥١﴾
A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]
أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابࣰا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِینُونَ ﴿٥٣﴾
That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'"
فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِی سَوَاۤءِ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ ﴿٥٥﴾
And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire.
وَلَوۡلَا نِعۡمَةُ رَبِّی لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡضَرِینَ ﴿٥٧﴾
If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell].
إِلَّا مَوۡتَتَنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِینَ ﴿٥٩﴾
Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?"
لِمِثۡلِ هَـٰذَا فَلۡیَعۡمَلِ ٱلۡعَـٰمِلُونَ ﴿٦١﴾
For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work.
أَذَ ٰلِكَ خَیۡرࣱ نُّزُلًا أَمۡ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ﴿٦٢﴾
Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum?
إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَـٰهَا فِتۡنَةࣰ لِّلظَّـٰلِمِینَ ﴿٦٣﴾
Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers.
إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةࣱ تَخۡرُجُ فِیۤ أَصۡلِ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ ﴿٦٤﴾
Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire,
طَلۡعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّیَـٰطِینِ ﴿٦٥﴾
Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils.
فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ ﴿٦٦﴾
And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَیۡهَا لَشَوۡبࣰا مِّنۡ حَمِیمࣲ ﴿٦٧﴾
Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water.
وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ ﴿٧١﴾
And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,
فَٱنظُرۡ كَیۡفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِینَ ﴿٧٣﴾
Then look how was the end of those who were warned -
وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحࣱ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِیبُونَ ﴿٧٥﴾
And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders.
وَنَجَّیۡنَـٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ ﴿٧٦﴾
And We saved him and his family from the great affliction.
وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّیَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِینَ ﴿٧٧﴾
And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]
وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَیۡهِ فِی ٱلۡـَٔاخِرِینَ ﴿٧٨﴾
And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:
إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِیهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ ﴿٨٥﴾
[And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?
أَىِٕفۡكًا ءَالِهَةࣰ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِیدُونَ ﴿٨٦﴾
Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire?
فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰۤ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ ﴿٩١﴾
Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?
قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ ﴿٩٥﴾
He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,
قَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنۡیَـٰنࣰا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِی ٱلۡجَحِیمِ ﴿٩٧﴾
They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire."
فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَیۡدࣰا فَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِینَ ﴿٩٨﴾
And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased.
وَقَالَ إِنِّی ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّی سَیَهۡدِینِ ﴿٩٩﴾
And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡیَ قَالَ یَـٰبُنَیَّ إِنِّیۤ أَرَىٰ فِی ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّیۤ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ یَـٰۤأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِیۤ إِن شَاۤءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِینَ ﴿١٠٢﴾
And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast."
فَلَمَّاۤ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِینِ ﴿١٠٣﴾
And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead,
قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡیَاۤۚ إِنَّا كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَجۡزِی ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِینَ ﴿١٠٥﴾
You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَیۡهِ فِی ٱلۡـَٔاخِرِینَ ﴿١٠٨﴾
And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:
وَبَشَّرۡنَـٰهُ بِإِسۡحَـٰقَ نَبِیࣰّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِینَ ﴿١١٢﴾
And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.
وَبَـٰرَكۡنَا عَلَیۡهِ وَعَلَىٰۤ إِسۡحَـٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّیَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنࣱ وَظَالِمࣱ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِینࣱ ﴿١١٣﴾
And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself.
وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ﴿١١٤﴾
And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.
وَنَجَّیۡنَـٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ ﴿١١٥﴾
And We saved them and their people from the great affliction,
وَنَصَرۡنَـٰهُمۡ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبِینَ ﴿١١٦﴾
And We supported them so it was they who overcame.
وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَیۡهِمَا فِی ٱلۡـَٔاخِرِینَ ﴿١١٩﴾
And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations:
إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦۤ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿١٢٤﴾
When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allah?
أَتَدۡعُونَ بَعۡلࣰا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡخَـٰلِقِینَ ﴿١٢٥﴾
Do you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators -
ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ ءَابَاۤىِٕكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ ﴿١٢٦﴾
Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?"
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ ﴿١٢٧﴾
And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],
وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَیۡهِ فِی ٱلۡـَٔاخِرِینَ ﴿١٢٩﴾
And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:
إِذۡ نَجَّیۡنَـٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥۤ أَجۡمَعِینَ ﴿١٣٤﴾
[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all,
إِلَّا عَجُوزࣰا فِی ٱلۡغَـٰبِرِینَ ﴿١٣٥﴾
Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers].
لَلَبِثَ فِی بَطۡنِهِۦۤ إِلَىٰ یَوۡمِ یُبۡعَثُونَ ﴿١٤٤﴾
He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.
۞ فَنَبَذۡنَـٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَاۤءِ وَهُوَ سَقِیمࣱ ﴿١٤٥﴾
But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.
وَأَرۡسَلۡنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ یَزِیدُونَ ﴿١٤٧﴾
And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.
فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَـٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِینࣲ ﴿١٤٨﴾
And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.
فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ ﴿١٤٩﴾
So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?
أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَةَ إِنَـٰثࣰا وَهُمۡ شَـٰهِدُونَ ﴿١٥٠﴾
Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"
أَلَاۤ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَیَقُولُونَ ﴿١٥١﴾
Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,
فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ ﴿١٥٧﴾
Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.
وَجَعَلُواْ بَیۡنَهُۥ وَبَیۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبࣰاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ ﴿١٥٨﴾
And they have claimed between Him and the jinn a lineage, but the jinn have already known that they [who made such claims] will be brought to [punishment].
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِینَ ﴿١٦٠﴾
Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin].
وَمَا مِنَّاۤ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامࣱ مَّعۡلُومࣱ ﴿١٦٤﴾
[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.
لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ ﴿١٦٨﴾
"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,
فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ یَعۡلَمُونَ ﴿١٧٠﴾
But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.
وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ ﴿١٧١﴾
And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبُونَ ﴿١٧٣﴾
And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.
وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ یُبۡصِرُونَ ﴿١٧٥﴾
And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَاۤءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِینَ ﴿١٧٧﴾
But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.
سُبۡحَـٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا یَصِفُونَ ﴿١٨٠﴾
Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.
