بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

طسٓمٓ ﴿١﴾

Taa-Seeen-Meeem

1 Ta, Seen, Meem.

تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ ﴿٢﴾

Tilka Aayaatul Kitaabil Mubeen

2 These are the verses of the clear Book.

لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٌۭ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٣﴾

La'allaka baakhi'un nafsaka allaa yakoonoo mu'mineen

3 Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.

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

In nashaa nunazzil 'alaihim minas samaaa'i Aayatan fazallat a'naaquhum lahaa khaadi'een

4 If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.

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

Wa maa yaateehim min zikrim minar Rahmaani muhdasin illaa kaanoo 'anhu mu'rideen

5 And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ﴿٦﴾

Faqad kazzaboo fasa yaateehim ambaaa'u maa kaanoo bihee yastahzi'oon

6 For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۢ كَرِيمٍ ﴿٧﴾

Awa lam yaraw ilal ardi kam ambatnaa feehaa min kulli zawjin kareem

7 Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٨﴾

Inn fee zaalika la Aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen

8 Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ﴿٩﴾

Wa inna Rabbaka la Huwal 'Azeezur Raheem

9 And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ﴿١٠﴾

Wa iz naadaa Rabbuka Moosaaa ani'-til qawmaz zaalimeen

10 And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -

قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ ﴿١١﴾

Qawma Fir'awn; alaa yattaqoon

11 The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah?"

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ ﴿١٢﴾

Qaala Rabbi inneee akhaafu ai yukazziboon

12 He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me

وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ ﴿١٣﴾

Wa yadeequ sadree wa laa yantaliqu lisaanee fa arsil ilaa Haaroon

13 And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.

وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌۭ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ ﴿١٤﴾

Wa lahum 'alaiya zambun fa akhaafu ai yaqtuloon

14 And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."

قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ ﴿١٥﴾

Qaala kallaa fazhabaa bi Aayaatinaaa innaa ma'akum mustami'oon

15 [Allah] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.

فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿١٦﴾

Faatiyaa Fir'awna faqoolaaa innaa Rasoolu Rabbil 'aalameen

16 Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,

أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ﴿١٧﴾

An arsil ma'anaa Baneee Israaa'eel

17 [Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"

قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًۭا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ ﴿١٨﴾

Qaala alam nurabbika feenaa waleedanw wa labista feenaa min 'umurika sineen

18 [Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?

وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ ﴿١٩﴾

Wa fa'alta fa'latakal latee fa'alta wa anta minal kaafireen

19 And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."

قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًۭا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ﴿٢٠﴾

Qaala fa'altuhaaa izanw wa ana minad daaaleen

20 [Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray.

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

Fafarartu minkum lam maa khiftukum fawahaba lee Rabbee hukmanw wa ja'alanee minal mursaleen

21 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.

وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌۭ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ﴿٢٢﴾

Wa tilka ni'matun tamun nuhaa 'alaiya an 'abbatta Baneee Israaa'eel

22 And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿٢٣﴾

Qaala Fir'awnu wa maa Rabbul 'aalameen

23 Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ ﴿٢٤﴾

Qaala Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa in kuntum mooqineen

24 [Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."

قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ ﴿٢٥﴾

Qaala liman hawlahooo alaa tastami'oon

25 [Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"

قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿٢٦﴾

Qaala Rabbukum wa Rabbu aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen

26 [Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌۭ ﴿٢٧﴾

Qaala inna Rasoolakumul lazee ursila ilaikum lamajnoon

27 [Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿٢٨﴾

Qaala Rabbul mashriqi wal maghribi wa maa baina humaa in kuntum ta'qiloon

28 [Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ ﴿٢٩﴾

Qaala la'init takhazta ilaahan ghairee la aj'alannaka minal masjooneen

29 [Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."

قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ﴿٣٠﴾

Qaala awalw ji'tuka bishai'im mubeen

30 [Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest?"

قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ﴿٣١﴾

Qaala faati biheee in kunta minas saadiqeen

31 [Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."

فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ﴿٣٢﴾

Fa alqaa 'asaahu fa izaaa hiya su'baanum mubeen

32 So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ ﴿٣٣﴾

Wa naza'a yadahoo faizaa hiya baidaaa'u linnaa zireen

33 And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.

قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌۭ ﴿٣٤﴾

Qaala lilmala-i hawlahooo inna haazaa lasaahirun 'aleem

34 [Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ ﴿٣٥﴾

Yureedu ai yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihee famaazaa taamuroon

35 He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"

قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ ﴿٣٦﴾

Qaalooo arjih wa akhaahu wab'as filmadaaa'ini haashireen

36 They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers

يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍۢ ﴿٣٧﴾

Yaatooka bikulli sah haarin 'aleem

37 Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ ﴿٣٨﴾

Fa jumi'as saharatu limeeqaati Yawmim ma'loom

38 So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ ﴿٣٩﴾

Wa qeela linnaasi hal antum mujtami'oon

39 And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ ﴿٤٠﴾

La'allanaa nattabi'us saharata in kaanoo humul ghaalibeen

40 That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"

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

Falammaa jaaa'as saharatu qaaloo li Fir'awna a'inna lanaa la ajjran in kunnaa nahnul ghaalibeen

41 And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ ﴿٤٢﴾

Qaala na'am wa innakum izal laminal muqarrabeen

42 He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ ﴿٤٣﴾

Qaala lahum Moosaaa alqoo maaa antum mulqoon

43 Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."

فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ ﴿٤٤﴾

Fa alqaw hibaalahum wa 'isiyyahum wa qaaloo bi'izzati Fir'awna innaa lanahnul ghaaliboon

44 So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."

فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ ﴿٤٥﴾

Fa alqaa Moosaa 'asaahu fa izaa hiya talqafu maa yaafikoon

45 Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.

فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ ﴿٤٦﴾

Fa ulqiyas saharatu saajideen

46 So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].

قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿٤٧﴾

Qaalooo aamannaa bi Rabbil 'aalameen

47 They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ﴿٤٨﴾

Rabbi Moosaa wa Haaroon

48 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 ﴿٤٩﴾

Qaala aamantum lahoo qabla an aazana lakum innahoo lakabeerukumul lazee 'alla makumus sihra falasawfa ta'lamoon; la uqatti'anna aidiyakum wa arjulakum min khilaafinw wa la usallibanna kum ajma'een

49 [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."

قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ ﴿٥٠﴾

Qaaloo la daira innaaa ilaa Rabbinaa munqalliboon

50 They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.

إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٥١﴾

Innaa natma'u ai yaghfira lanaa Rabbunna khataa yaanaaa an kunnaaa awwalal mu'mineen

51 Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."

۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ ﴿٥٢﴾

Wa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa an asri bi'ibaadeee innakum muttaba'oon

52 And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."

فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ ﴿٥٣﴾

Fa arsala Fir'awnu filmadaaa'ini haashireen

53 Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌۭ قَلِيلُونَ ﴿٥٤﴾

Inna haaa'ulaaa'i lashir zimatun qaleeloon

54 [And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band,

وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ ﴿٥٥﴾

Wa innahum lanaa laghaaa'izoon

55 And indeed, they are enraging us,

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ ﴿٥٦﴾

Wa innaa lajamee'un haaziroon

56 And indeed, we are a cautious society... "

فَأَخْرَجْنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ ﴿٥٧﴾

Fa akhrajnaahum min Jannaatinw wa 'uyoon

57 So We removed them from gardens and springs

وَكُنُوزٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ ﴿٥٨﴾

Wa kunoozinw wa ma qaamin kareem

58 And treasures and honorable station -

كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ﴿٥٩﴾

Kazaalika wa awrasnaahaa Baneee Israaa'eel

59 Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.

فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ ﴿٦٠﴾

Fa atba'oohum mushriqeen

60 So they pursued them at sunrise.

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ ﴿٦١﴾

Falammaa taraaa'al jam'aani qaala as haabu Moosaaa innaa lamudrakoon

61 And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"

قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ﴿٦٢﴾

Qaala kallaaa inna ma'iya Rabbee sa yahdeen

62 [Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."

فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ ۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍۢ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿٦٣﴾

Fa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa anidrib bi'asaakal bahra fanfalaqa fakaana kullu firqin kattawdil 'azeem

63 Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.

وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ﴿٦٤﴾

Wa azlafnaa sammal aakhareen

64 And We advanced thereto the pursuers.

وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿٦٥﴾

Wa anjainaa Moosaa wa mam ma'ahooo ajma'een

65 And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ﴿٦٦﴾

Summa aghraqnal aakhareen

66 Then We drowned the others.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٦٧﴾

Inna fee zaalika la Aayaah; wa maa kaana aksaru hu mu'mineen

67 Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ﴿٦٨﴾

Wa inna Rabbaka la Huwal 'Azeezur Raheem

68 And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ﴿٦٩﴾

Watlu 'alaihim naba-a Ibraaheem

69 And recite to them the news of Abraham,

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿٧٠﴾

Iz qaala li abeehi wa qawmihee maa ta'budoon

70 When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?"

قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًۭا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ ﴿٧١﴾

Qaaloo na'budu asnaaman fanazallu lahaa 'aakifeen

71 They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."

قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ ﴿٧٢﴾

Qaala hal yasma'oona kum iz tad'oon

72 He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?

أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ ﴿٧٣﴾

Aw yanfa'oonakum aw yadurroon

73 Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"

قَالُوا۟ بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ ﴿٧٤﴾

Qaaloo bal wajadnaaa aabaaa 'anaa kazaalika yaf'aloon

74 They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿٧٥﴾

Qaala afara 'aitum maa kuntum ta'budoon

75 He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,

أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ ﴿٧٦﴾

Antum wa aabaaa'ukumul aqdamoon

76 You and your ancient forefathers?

فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّۭ لِّىٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿٧٧﴾

Fa innahum 'aduwwwul leee illaa Rabbal 'aalameen

77 Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ ﴿٧٨﴾

Allazee khalaqanee fa Huwa yahdeen

78 Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me.

وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ ﴿٧٩﴾

Wallazee Huwa yut'imunee wa yasqeen

79 And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.

وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ ﴿٨٠﴾

Wa izaa mardtu fahuwa yashfeen

80 And when I am ill, it is He who cures me

وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ ﴿٨١﴾

Wallazee yumeetunee summa yuhyeen

81 And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life

Wallazeee atma'u ai yaghfira lee khateee' atee Yawmad Deen

82 And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense."

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى حُكْمًۭا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ﴿٨٣﴾

Rabbi hab lee hukmanw wa alhiqnee bis saaliheen

83 [And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous.

وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍۢ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ﴿٨٤﴾

Waj'al lee lisaana sidqin fil aakhireen

84 And grant me a reputation of honor among later generations.

وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ﴿٨٥﴾

Waj'alnee minw warasati Jannnatin Na'eem

85 And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure.

وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ﴿٨٦﴾

Waghfir li abeee innahoo kaana mind daalleen

وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ ﴿٨٧﴾

Wa laa tukhzinee Yawma yub'asoon

87 And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected -

يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌۭ وَلَا بَنُونَ ﴿٨٨﴾

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ ﴿١٨٩﴾

Fakazzaboohu fa akhazahum 'azaabu Yawmiz zullah; innahoo kaana 'azaaba Yawmin 'Azeem

189 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 فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١٩٠﴾

Inna fee zaalika la Aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen

190 Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ﴿١٩١﴾

Wa inna Rabbaka la huwal 'Azeezur Raheem

191 And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿١٩٢﴾

Wa innahoo latanzeelu Rabbil 'aalameen

192 And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ ﴿١٩٣﴾

Nazala bihir Roohul Ameen

193 The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down

عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ ﴿١٩٤﴾

'Alaa qalbika litakoona minal munzireen

194 Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners -

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ﴿١٩٥﴾

Bilisaanin 'Arabiyyim mubeen

195 In a clear Arabic language.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿١٩٦﴾

Wa innahoo lafee Zuburil awwaleen

196 And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.

أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ﴿١٩٧﴾

Awalam yakul lahum Aayatan ai ya'lamahoo 'ulamaaa'u Baneee Israaa'eel

197 And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ ﴿١٩٨﴾

Wa law nazzalnaahu 'alaa ba'dil a'jameen

198 And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١٩٩﴾

Faqara ahoo 'alaihim maa kaanoo bihee mu'mineen

199 And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿٢٠٠﴾

Kazaalika salaknaahu fee quloobil mujrimeen

200 Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals.

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ ﴿٢٠١﴾

Laa yu'minoona bihee hattaa yarawul 'azaabal aleem

201 They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.

فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةًۭ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿٢٠٢﴾

Fayaatiyahum baghtatanw wa hum laa yash'uroon

202 And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.

فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ ﴿٢٠٣﴾

Fa yaqooloo hal nahnu munzaroon

203 And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ﴿٢٠٤﴾

Aafabi 'azaabinaa yasta'jiloon

204 So for Our punishment are they impatient?

أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَٰهُمْ سِنِينَ ﴿٢٠٥﴾

Aara'aita im matta'naahum sineen

205 Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years

ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ ﴿٢٠٦﴾

Summa jaaa'ahum maa kaanoo yoo'adoon

206 And then there came to them that which they were promised?

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ ﴿٢٠٧﴾

Maaa aghnaaa 'anhum maa kaanoo yumaatoo'oon

207 They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ ﴿٢٠٨﴾

Wa maaa ahlaknaa min qaryatin illaa lahaa munziroon

208 And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners

ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ ﴿٢٠٩﴾

Zikraa wa maa kunnaa zaalimeen

209 As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ ﴿٢١٠﴾

Wa maa tanazzalat bihish Shayaateen

210 And the devils have not brought the revelation down.

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ﴿٢١١﴾

Wa maa yambaghee lahum wa maa yastatee'oon

211 It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.

إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ ﴿٢١٢﴾

Innahum 'anis sam'i lama'zooloon

212 Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ ﴿٢١٣﴾

Falaa tad'u ma'al laahi ilaahan aakhara fatakoona minal mu'azzabeen

213 So do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished.

وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ ﴿٢١٤﴾

Wa anzir 'asheeratakal aqrabeen

214 And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred.

وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٢١٥﴾

Wakhfid janaahaka limanit taba 'aka minal mu'mineen

215 And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers.

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌۭ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٢١٦﴾

Fa in asawka faqul innee bareee'um mimmmaa ta'maloon

216 And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ﴿٢١٧﴾

Wa tawakkal alal 'Azeezir Raheem

217 And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ ﴿٢١٨﴾

Allazee yaraaka heena taqoom

218 Who sees you when you arise

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ ﴿٢١٩﴾

Wa taqallubaka fis saajideen

219 And your movement among those who prostrate.

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ﴿٢٢٠﴾

Innahoo Huwas Samee'ul 'Aleem

220 Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ ﴿٢٢١﴾

Hal unabbi'ukum 'alaa man tanazzalush Shayaateen

221 Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍۢ ﴿٢٢٢﴾

Tanazzalu 'alaa kulli affaakin aseem

222 They descend upon every sinful liar.

يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَٰذِبُونَ ﴿٢٢٣﴾

Yulqoonas sam'a wa aksaruhum aaziboon

223 They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ ﴿٢٢٤﴾

Washshu 'araaa'u yattabi 'uhumul ghaawoon

224 And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them;

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍۢ يَهِيمُونَ ﴿٢٢٥﴾

Alam tara annahum fee kulli waadiny yaheemoon

225 Do you not see that in every valley they roam

وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ ﴿٢٢٦﴾

Wa annahum yaqooloona ma laa yaf'aloon

226 And that 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 ﴿٢٢٧﴾

Illal lazeena aamanoo w a'amilus saalihaati wa zakarul laaha kaseeranw wantasaroo mim ba'di maa zulimoo; wa saya'lamul lazeena zalamooo aiya munqalbiny yanqaliboon

227 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.
