مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ طسٓمٓ ۝١

Ta Sin Mi

تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ ۝٢

These are the verses of the Scripture that makes things clear

لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٌۭ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ ۝۳

[Prophet], are you going to worry yourself to death because they will not believe

إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةًۭ فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ ۝٤

If We had wished, We could have sent them down a sign from heaven, at which their necks would stay bowed in utter humility

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ ۝٥

Whenever they are brought a new revelation from the Lord of Mercy, they turn away

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ۝٦

they deny it, but the truth of what they scorned will soon hit them

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۢ كَرِيمٍ ۝۷

Do they not see the earth, and what noble kinds of thing We grow in it

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝۸

There truly is a sign in this, though most of them do not believe

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝۹

your Lord alone is the Almighty, the Merciful

وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ۝١۰

Your Lord called to Moses: ‘Go to those wrongdoers

قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ ۝١١

the people of Pharaoh. Will they not take heed?’

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ ۝١٢

Moses said, ‘My Lord, I fear they will call me a liar

وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ ۝١۳

and I will feel stressed and tongue-tied, so send Aaron too

وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌۭ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ ۝١٤

besides, they have a chargeagainst me, and I fear they may kill me.’

قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ ۝١٥

God said, ‘No [they will not]. Go, both of you, with Our signs––We shall be with you, listen-ing

فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١٦

Go, both of you, to Pharaoh and say, “We bring a message from the Lord of the Worlds

أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝١۷

let the Children of Israel leave with us.” ’

قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًۭا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ ۝١۸

Pharaoh said, ‘Did we not bring you up as a child among us? Did you not stay with us for many years

وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ ۝١۹

And then you committed that crime of yours: you were so ungrateful.’

قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًۭا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ۝٢۰

Moses replied, ‘I was misguided when I did i

فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًۭا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝٢١

and I fled from you in fear; later my Lord gave me wisdom and made me one of His messengers

وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌۭ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝٢٢

And is this- that you have enslaved the Children of Israel- the favour with which you reproach me?’

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٢۳

Pharaoh asked, ‘What is this “Lord of the Worlds”?&rsquo

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ ۝٢٤

Moses replied, ‘He is the Lord of the heavens and earth and everything between them. If you would only have faith!’

قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ ۝٢٥

Pharaoh said to those present, ‘Do you hear what he says?’

قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝٢٦

Moses said, ‘He is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.’

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌۭ ۝٢۷

Pharaoh said, ‘This messenger who has been sent to you is truly possessed.’

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ ۝٢۸

Moses continued, ‘Lord of the East and West and everything between them. If you would only use your reason!’

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ ۝٢۹

But Pharaoh said [to him], ‘If you take any god other than me, I will throw you into prison,’

قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ۝۳۰

and Moses asked, ‘Even if I show you something convincing?’

قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ۝۳١

‘Show it then,’ said Pharaoh, ‘if you are telling the truth.’

فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ۝۳٢

So Moses threw down his staff and- lo and behold!- it became a snake for everyone to see

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ ۝۳۳

Then he drew out his hand and- lo and behold!- it was white for the onlookers to see

قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌۭ ۝۳٤

Pharaoh said to the counsellors around him, ‘This man is a learned sorcerer

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ ۝۳٥

He means to use his sorcery to drive you out of your land! What do you suggest?’

قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ ۝۳٦

They answered, ‘Delay him and his brother for a while, and send messengers to all the citie

يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍۢ ۝۳۷

to bring every accomplished sorcerer to you.’

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ ۝۳۸

The sorcerers were [to be] assembled at the appointed time on a certain da

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ ۝۳۹

and the people were asked

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ ۝٤۰

‘Are you all coming? We may follow the sorcerers if they win!’

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ ۝٤١

When the sorcerers came, they said to Pharaoh, ‘Shall we be rewarded if we win?’

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ ۝٤٢

and he said, ‘Yes, and you will join my inner court.’

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ ۝٤۳

Moses said to them, ‘Throw down whatever you will.’

فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ ۝٤٤

They threw their ropes and staffs, saying, ‘By Pharaoh’s might, we shall be victorious.’

فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ ۝٤٥

But Moses threw his staff and- lo and behold!- it swallowed up their tricker

فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ ۝٤٦

and the sorcerers fell down on their knees

قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٤۷

exclaiming, ‘We believe in the Lord of the Worlds

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ۝٤۸

the Lord of Moses and Aaron.’

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَٰفٍۢ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝٤۹

Pharaoh said, ‘How dare you believe in him before I have given you permission? He must be the master who taught you sorcery! Soon you will see: I will cut off your alternate hands and feet and then crucify the lot of you!’

قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ ۝٥۰

‘That will do us no harm,’ they said, ‘for we are sure to return to our Lord

إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٥١

We hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, as we were the first to believe.’

۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ ۝٥٢

Then We revealed Our will to Moses, ‘Leave with My servants by night, for you will be pursued!’

فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ ۝٥۳

Pharaoh sent messengers into the cities, proclaiming

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌۭ قَلِيلُونَ ۝٥٤

‘These people are a puny band–&ndash

وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ ۝٥٥

they have enraged us

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ ۝٥٦

and we are a large army, on the alert.’

فَأَخْرَجْنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ ۝٥۷

So it was that We made them leave their gardens and their springs

وَكُنُوزٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ ۝٥۸

their treasures and their noble dwellings

كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝٥۹

We gave [such] things [later]to the Children of Israel

فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ ۝٦۰

Pharaoh and his people pursued them at sunrise

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ ۝٦١

and as soon as the two sides came within sight of one another, Moses’ followers said, ‘We shall definitely be caught.’

قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ۝٦٢

Moses said, ‘No, my Lord is with me: He will guide me,’

فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ ۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍۢ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝٦۳

and We revealed to Moses: ‘Strike the sea with your staff.’ It parted- each side like a mighty mountain

وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ۝٦٤

and We brought the others to that place

وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝٦٥

We saved Moses and all his companions

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ۝٦٦

and drowned the rest

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝٦۷

There truly is a sign in this, though most of them do not believe

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝٦۸

your Lord alone is the Almighty, the Merciful

وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۝٦۹

Tell them the story of Abraham

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ ۝۷۰

when he asked his father and his people, ‘What do you worship?’

قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًۭا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ ۝۷١

They said, ‘We worship idols, and are constantly in attendance on them.’

قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ ۝۷٢

He asked, ‘Do they hear you when you call

أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ ۝۷۳

Do they help or harm you?’

قَالُوا۟ بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ ۝۷٤

They replied, ‘No, but this is what we saw our fathers doing.’

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ ۝۷٥

Abraham said, ‘Those idols you have worshipped

أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ ۝۷٦

you and your forefathers

فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّۭ لِّىٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝۷۷

are my enemies; not so the Lord of the Worlds

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ ۝۷۸

who created me. It is He who guides me

وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ ۝۷۹

He who gives me food and drink

وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ ۝۸۰

He who cures me when I am ill

وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ ۝۸١

He who will make me die and then give me life again

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ ۝۸٢

and He who will, I hope, forgive my faults on the Day of Judgement

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى حُكْمًۭا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ۝۸۳

My Lord, grant me wisdom; join me with the righteous

وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍۢ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ۝۸٤

give me a good name among later generations

وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ۝۸٥

make me one of those given the Garden of Bliss

وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ۝۸٦

forgive my father, for he is one of those who have gone astray

وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ ۝۸۷

and do not disgrace me on the Day when all people are resurrected

يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌۭ وَلَا بَنُونَ ۝۸۸

the Day when neither wealth nor children can help

إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍۢ ۝۸۹

when the only one who will be saved is the one who comes before God with a heart devoted to Him.’

وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ۝۹۰

When the Garden is brought near to the righteou

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ ۝۹١

and the Fire is placed in full view of the misguided

وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ ۝۹٢

it will be said to them, ‘Where are those you worshipped

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ ۝۹۳

beside God? Can they help you now, or even help themselves?’

فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَ ۝۹٤

and then they will all be hurled into Hell, together with those that misled them

وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ ۝۹٥

and all Iblis’s supporters

قَالُوا۟ وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ ۝۹٦

There they will say to their gods, as they bicker among themselves

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍ ۝۹۷

‘We were clearly misguide

إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝۹۸

when we made you equal with the Lord of the Worlds

وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ۝۹۹

It was the evildoers who led us astray

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ ۝١۰۰

and now we have no intercesso

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍۢ ۝١۰١

and no true friend

فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةًۭ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۰٢

If only we could live our lives again, we would be true believers!’

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۰۳

There truly is a sign in this, though most of them do not believe

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١۰٤

your Lord alone is the Almighty, the Merciful

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۰٥

The people of Noah, too, called the messengers liars

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١۰٦

Their brother Noah said to them, ‘Will you not be mindful of God

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١۰۷

I am a faithful messenger sent to you

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١۰۸

be mindful of God and obey me

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١۰۹

I ask no reward of you, for my only reward is with the Lord of the Worlds

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١١۰

be mindful of God and obey me.’

۞ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلْأَرْذَلُونَ ۝١١١

They answered, ‘Why should we believe you when the worst sort of people follow you?’

قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِى بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ۝١١٢

He said, ‘What knowledge do I have of what they used to do

إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّى ۖ لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ ۝١١۳

It is for my Lord alone to bring them to account- if only you could see

وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١١٤

I will not drive believers away

إِنْ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ۝١١٥

I am here only to give people a clear warning.’

قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْجُومِينَ ۝١١٦

So they said, ‘Noah, if you do not stop this, you will be stoned.’

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى كَذَّبُونِ ۝١١۷

He said, ‘My Lord, my people have rejected me

فَٱفْتَحْ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًۭا وَنَجِّنِى وَمَن مَّعِىَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١١۸

so make a firm judgement between me and them, and save me and my believing followers.’

فَأَنجَيْنَٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ ۝١١۹

So We saved him and his followers in the fully laden ship

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ ۝١٢۰

and drowned the rest

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١٢١

There truly is a sign in this, though most of them do not believe

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١٢٢

your Lord alone is the Almighty, the Merciful

كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٢۳

The people of Ad, too, called the messengers liars

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٢٤

Their brother Hud said to them, ‘Will you not be mindful of God

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١٢٥

I am a faithful messenger sent to you

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١٢٦

be mindful of God and obey me

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١٢۷

I ask no reward of you, for my only reward is with the Lord of the Worlds

أَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ ءَايَةًۭ تَعْبَثُونَ ۝١٢۸

How can you be so vain that you set up monuments on every high place

وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَ ۝١٢۹

Do you build fortresses because you hope to be immortal

وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُم بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَ ۝١۳۰

Why do you act like tyrants whenever you attack someone

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١۳١

Be mindful of God and obey me

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَ ۝١۳٢

be mindful of Him who has provided you with everything you know

أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنْعَٰمٍۢ وَبَنِينَ ۝١۳۳

He has given you livestock, sons

وَجَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍ ۝١۳٤

gardens, springs

إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ۝١۳٥

for I truly fear that the torment of a grievous day will overtake you.’

قَالُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَآ أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْوَٰعِظِينَ ۝١۳٦

They replied, ‘It makes no difference to us whether you warn us or not

إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١۳۷

for we only do what our forefathers used to do

وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ۝١۳۸

we shall not be punished.’

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۳۹

They denounced him as a liar, and so We destroyed them. There truly is a sign in this, though most of them do not believe

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١٤۰

your Lord alone is the Almighty, the Merciful

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٤١

The people of Thamud, too, called the messengers liars

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٤٢

Their brother Salih said to them, ‘Will you not be mindful of God

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١٤۳

I am a faithful messenger to you

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١٤٤

be mindful of God and obey me

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١٤٥

I ask no reward from you, for my only reward is with the Lord of the Worlds

أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِى مَا هَٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَ ۝١٤٦

[Do you think] you will be left secure for ever in what you have here

فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ ۝١٤۷

gardens, springs

وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَنَخْلٍۢ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌۭ ۝١٤۸

fields, palm trees laden with fruit

وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًۭا فَٰرِهِينَ ۝١٤۹

carving your fine houses from the mountains

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١٥۰

Be mindful of God and obey me

وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ ۝١٥١

do not obey those who are given to exces

ٱلَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ ۝١٥٢

and who spread corruption in the land instead of doing what is right.’

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ ۝١٥۳

They said, ‘You are bewitched

مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌۭ مِّثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ۝١٥٤

You are nothing but a man like us. Show us a sign, if you are telling the truth.’

قَالَ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةٌۭ لَّهَا شِرْبٌۭ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ ۝١٥٥

He said, ‘Here is a camel. She should have her turn to drink and so should you, each on a specified day

وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍۢ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ۝١٥٦

so do not harm her, or the punishment of a terrible day will befall you.’

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ نَٰدِمِينَ ۝١٥۷

But they hamstrung her. In the morning they had cause to regret it

فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١٥۸

the punishment fell upon them. There truly is a sign in this, though most of them will not believe

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١٥۹

your Lord alone is the Almighty, the Merciful

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٦۰

The people of Lot, too, called the messengers liars

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٦١

Their brother Lot said to them, ‘Will you not be mindful of God

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١٦٢

I am a faithful messenger to you

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١٦۳

be mindful of God and obey me

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١٦٤

I ask no reward from you, for my only reward is with the Lord of the Worlds

أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١٦٥

Must you, unlike [other] people, lust after male

وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُم ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ ۝١٦٦

and abandon the wives that God has created for you? You are exceeding all bounds,’

قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْرَجِينَ ۝١٦۷

but they replied, ‘Lot! If you do not stop this, you will be driven away.’

قَالَ إِنِّى لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْقَالِينَ ۝١٦۸

So he said, ‘I loathe what you do

رَبِّ نَجِّنِى وَأَهْلِى مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ ۝١٦۹

Lord, save me and my family from what they are doing.’

فَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝١۷۰

We saved him and all his family

إِلَّا عَجُوزًۭا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ ۝١۷١

except for an old woman who stayed behind

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ۝١۷٢

then We destroyed the others

وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًۭا ۖ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ۝١۷۳

and poured a rain of destruction down upon them. How dreadful that rain was for those who had been forewarned

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۷٤

There truly is a sign in this, though most of them will not believe

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١۷٥

your Lord alone is the Almighty, the Merciful

كَذَّبَ أَصْحَٰبُ لْـَٔيْكَةِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١۷٦

The forest-dwellers, too, called the messengers liars

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١۷۷

Shuayb said to them, ‘Will you not be mindful of God

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١۷۸

I am a faithful messenger to you

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ۝١۷۹

be mindful of God and obey me

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١۸۰

I ask no reward of you, for my only reward is with the Lord of the Worlds

۞ أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْسِرِينَ ۝١۸١

Give full measure: do not sell others short

وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ ۝١۸٢

Weigh with correct scales

وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ ۝١۸۳

do not deprive people of what is theirs. Do not spread corruption on earth

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلْجِبِلَّةَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١۸٤

Be mindful of God who created you and former generations,’

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ ۝١۸٥

but they replied, ‘You are bewitched

وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌۭ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ ۝١۸٦

You are nothing but a man like us. In fact we think you are a liar

فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًۭا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ۝١۸۷

Make bits of the heavens fall down on us, if you are telling the truth.’

قَالَ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ۝١۸۸

He said, ‘My Lord knows best what you do.’

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ ۝١۸۹

They called him a liar, and so the torment of the Day of Shadow came upon them- it was the torment of a terrible day

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۹۰

There truly is a sign in this, though most of them will not believe

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝١۹١

your Lord alone is the Almighty, the Merciful

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١۹٢

Truly, this Quran has been sent down by the Lord of the Worlds

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ ۝١۹۳

the Trustworthy Spirit brought it dow

عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ ۝١۹٤

to your heart [Prophet], so that you could bring warnin

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ۝١۹٥

in a clear Arabic tongue

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١۹٦

This was foretold in the scriptures of earlier religions

أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝١۹۷

Is it not proof enough for them that the learned men of the Children of Israel have recognized it

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ ۝١۹۸

If We had sent it down to someone who was not an Arab

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١۹۹

and he had recited it to them, they still would not have believed in it

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۝٢۰۰

So We make it pass straight through the hearts of the guilty

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ ۝٢۰١

they will not believe in it until they see the grievous torment

فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةًۭ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ۝٢۰٢

which will suddenly hit them when they are not expecting it

فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ ۝٢۰۳

and then they will say, ‘Can we have more time?’

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ۝٢۰٤

How can they ask that Our punishment be brought to them sooner

أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَٰهُمْ سِنِينَ ۝٢۰٥

Think, if we let them enjoy this life for some year

ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ ۝٢۰٦

and then the promised torment came upon them

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ ۝٢۰۷

what good would their past enjoyment be to them

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ ۝٢۰۸

Never have We destroyed a town without sending down messengers to warn it

ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ ۝٢۰۹

as a reminder from Us: We are never unjust

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ ۝٢١۰

It was not the jinn who brought down this Quran

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ۝٢١١

it is neither in their interests nor in their power

إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ ۝٢١٢

indeed they are prevented from overhearing it

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ ۝٢١۳

So [Prophet] do not invoke any gods beside God, or you will incur punishment

وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ ۝٢١٤

Warn your nearest kinsfol

وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٢١٥

and lower your wing tenderly over the believers who follow you

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌۭ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ۝٢١٦

If they disobey you, say, ‘I bear no responsibility for your actions.’

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ۝٢١۷

Put your trust in the Almighty, the Merciful

ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ ۝٢١۸

who sees you when you stand up [for prayer]

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ ۝٢١۹

and sees your movements among the worshippers

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ۝٢٢۰

He is the All Hearing, the All Knowing

هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ ۝٢٢١

Shall I tell you who the jinn come down to

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍۢ ۝٢٢٢

They come down to every lying sinne

يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَٰذِبُونَ ۝٢٢۳

who readily lends an ear to them, and most of them are liars

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ ۝٢٢٤

only those who are lost in error follow the poets

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍۢ يَهِيمُونَ ۝٢٢٥

Do you not see how they rove aimlessly in every valley

وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ ۝٢٢٦

how they say what they do not do

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًۭا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍۢ يَنقَلِبُونَ ۝٢٢۷

Not so those [poets] who believe, do good deeds, remember God often, and defend themselves after they have been wronged. The evildoers will find out what they will return to
