مَاۤ أَنتَ بِنِعۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجۡنُونࣲ ﴿٢﴾
Thou art not, by the Grace of thy Lord, mad or possessed.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِیلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلۡمُهۡتَدِینَ ﴿٧﴾
Verily it is thy Lord that knoweth best, which (among men) hath strayed from His Path: and He knoweth best those who receive (true) Guidance.
وَدُّواْ لَوۡ تُدۡهِنُ فَیُدۡهِنُونَ ﴿٩﴾
Their desire is that thou shouldst be pliant: so would they be pliant.
مَّنَّاعࣲ لِّلۡخَیۡرِ مُعۡتَدٍ أَثِیمٍ ﴿١٢﴾
(Habitually) hindering (all) good, transgressing beyond bounds, deep in sin,
إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَیۡهِ ءَایَـٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَـٰطِیرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ ﴿١٥﴾
When to him are rehearsed Our Signs, "Tales of the ancients", he cries!
إِنَّا بَلَوۡنَـٰهُمۡ كَمَا بَلَوۡنَاۤ أَصۡحَـٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ إِذۡ أَقۡسَمُواْ لَیَصۡرِمُنَّهَا مُصۡبِحِینَ ﴿١٧﴾
Verily We have tried them as We tried the People of the Garden, when they resolved to gather the fruits of the (garden) in the morning.
فَطَافَ عَلَیۡهَا طَاۤىِٕفࣱ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَهُمۡ نَاۤىِٕمُونَ ﴿١٩﴾
Then there came on the (garden) a visitation from thy Lord, (which swept away) all around, while they were asleep.
فَأَصۡبَحَتۡ كَٱلصَّرِیمِ ﴿٢٠﴾
So the (garden) became, by the morning, like a dark and desolate spot, (whose fruit had been gathered).
أَنِ ٱغۡدُواْ عَلَىٰ حَرۡثِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰرِمِینَ ﴿٢٢﴾
"Go ye to your tilth (betimes) in the morning, if ye would gather the fruits."
فَٱنطَلَقُواْ وَهُمۡ یَتَخَـٰفَتُونَ ﴿٢٣﴾
So they departed, conversing in secret low tones, (saying)-
أَن لَّا یَدۡخُلَنَّهَا ٱلۡیَوۡمَ عَلَیۡكُم مِّسۡكِینࣱ ﴿٢٤﴾
"Let not a single indigent person break in upon you into the (garden) this day."
وَغَدَوۡاْ عَلَىٰ حَرۡدࣲ قَـٰدِرِینَ ﴿٢٥﴾
And they opened the morning, strong in an (unjust) resolve.
فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡهَا قَالُوۤاْ إِنَّا لَضَاۤلُّونَ ﴿٢٦﴾
But when they saw the (garden), they said: "We have surely lost our way:
قَالَ أَوۡسَطُهُمۡ أَلَمۡ أَقُل لَّكُمۡ لَوۡلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ ﴿٢٨﴾
Said one of them, more just (than the rest): "Did I not say to you, 'Why not glorify (Allah)?'"
قَالُواْ سُبۡحَـٰنَ رَبِّنَاۤ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِینَ ﴿٢٩﴾
They said: "Glory to our Lord! Verily we have been doing wrong!"
فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضࣲ یَتَلَـٰوَمُونَ ﴿٣٠﴾
Then they turned, one against another, in reproach.
قَالُواْ یَـٰوَیۡلَنَاۤ إِنَّا كُنَّا طَـٰغِینَ ﴿٣١﴾
They said: "Alas for us! We have indeed transgressed!
عَسَىٰ رَبُّنَاۤ أَن یُبۡدِلَنَا خَیۡرࣰا مِّنۡهَاۤ إِنَّاۤ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا رَ ٰغِبُونَ ﴿٣٢﴾
"It may be that our Lord will give us in exchange a better (garden) than this: for we do turn to Him (in repentance)!"
كَذَ ٰلِكَ ٱلۡعَذَابُۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلۡـَٔاخِرَةِ أَكۡبَرُۚ لَوۡ كَانُواْ یَعۡلَمُونَ ﴿٣٣﴾
Such is the Punishment (in this life); but greater is the Punishment in the Hereafter,- if only they knew!
إِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِینَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِیمِ ﴿٣٤﴾
Verily, for the Righteous, are Gardens of Delight, in the Presence of their Lord.
أَفَنَجۡعَلُ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِینَ كَٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ ﴿٣٥﴾
ShallWe then treat the People of Faith like the People of Sin?
أَمۡ لَكُمۡ أَیۡمَـٰنٌ عَلَیۡنَا بَـٰلِغَةٌ إِلَىٰ یَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِ إِنَّ لَكُمۡ لَمَا تَحۡكُمُونَ ﴿٣٩﴾
Or have ye Covenants with Us to oath, reaching to the Day of Judgment, (providing) that ye shall have whatever ye shall demand?
سَلۡهُمۡ أَیُّهُم بِذَ ٰلِكَ زَعِیمٌ ﴿٤٠﴾
Ask thou of them, which of them will stand surety for that!
أَمۡ لَهُمۡ شُرَكَاۤءُ فَلۡیَأۡتُواْ بِشُرَكَاۤىِٕهِمۡ إِن كَانُواْ صَـٰدِقِینَ ﴿٤١﴾
Or have they some "Partners" (in Allahhead)? Then let them produce their "partners", if they are truthful!
یَوۡمَ یُكۡشَفُ عَن سَاقࣲ وَیُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ فَلَا یَسۡتَطِیعُونَ ﴿٤٢﴾
The Day that the shin shall be laid bare, and they shall be summoned to bow in adoration, but they shall not be able,-
خَـٰشِعَةً أَبۡصَـٰرُهُمۡ تَرۡهَقُهُمۡ ذِلَّةࣱۖ وَقَدۡ كَانُواْ یُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ وَهُمۡ سَـٰلِمُونَ ﴿٤٣﴾
Their eyes will be cast down,- ignominy will cover them; seeing that they had been summoned aforetime to bow in adoration, while they were whole, (and had refused).
فَذَرۡنِی وَمَن یُكَذِّبُ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِیثِۖ سَنَسۡتَدۡرِجُهُم مِّنۡ حَیۡثُ لَا یَعۡلَمُونَ ﴿٤٤﴾
Then leave Me alone with such as reject this Message: by degrees shall We punish them from directions they perceive not.
وَأُمۡلِی لَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ كَیۡدِی مَتِینٌ ﴿٤٥﴾
A (long) respite will I grant them: truly powerful is My Plan.
أَمۡ تَسۡـَٔلُهُمۡ أَجۡرࣰا فَهُم مِّن مَّغۡرَمࣲ مُّثۡقَلُونَ ﴿٤٦﴾
Or is it that thou dost ask them for a reward, so that they are burdened with a load of debt?-
أَمۡ عِندَهُمُ ٱلۡغَیۡبُ فَهُمۡ یَكۡتُبُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾
Or that the Unseen is in their hands, so that they can write it down?
فَٱصۡبِرۡ لِحُكۡمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُن كَصَاحِبِ ٱلۡحُوتِ إِذۡ نَادَىٰ وَهُوَ مَكۡظُومࣱ ﴿٤٨﴾
So wait with patience for the Command of thy Lord, and be not like the Companion of the Fish,- when he cried out in agony.
لَّوۡلَاۤ أَن تَدَ ٰرَكَهُۥ نِعۡمَةࣱ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ لَنُبِذَ بِٱلۡعَرَاۤءِ وَهُوَ مَذۡمُومࣱ ﴿٤٩﴾
Had not Grace from his Lord reached him, he would indeed have been cast off on the naked shore, in disgrace.
فَٱجۡتَبَـٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَجَعَلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِینَ ﴿٥٠﴾
Thus did his Lord choose him and make him of the Company of the Righteous.
وَإِن یَكَادُ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُواْ لَیُزۡلِقُونَكَ بِأَبۡصَـٰرِهِمۡ لَمَّا سَمِعُواْ ٱلذِّكۡرَ وَیَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُۥ لَمَجۡنُونࣱ ﴿٥١﴾
And the Unbelievers would almost trip thee up with their eyes when they hear the Message; and they say: "Surely he is possessed!"
