بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

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

وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفًّۭا ﴿١﴾

Wassaaaffaati saffaa

1 By those [angels] lined up in rows

فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًۭا ﴿٢﴾

Fazzaajiraati zajraa

2 And those who drive [the clouds]

فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا ﴿٣﴾

Fattaaliyaati Zikra

3 And those who recite the message,

إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌۭ ﴿٤﴾

Inna Illaahakum la Waahid

4 Indeed, your God is One,

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ ﴿٥﴾

Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa wa Rabbul mashaariq

5 Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises.

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ ﴿٦﴾

Innaa zaiyannas samaaa 'ad dunyaa bizeenatinil kawaakib

6 Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars

وَحِفْظًۭا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ مَّارِدٍۢ ﴿٧﴾

Wa hifzam min kulli Shaitaanim maarid

7 And as protection against every rebellious devil

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍۢ ﴿٨﴾

Laa yassamma 'oona ilal mala il a'alaa wa yuqzafoona min kulli jaanib

8 [So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side,

دُحُورًۭا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ وَاصِبٌ ﴿٩﴾

Duhooranw wa lahum 'azaabunw waasib

9 Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,

إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌۭ ثَاقِبٌۭ ﴿١٠﴾

Illaa man khatifal khatfata fa atba'ahoo shihaabun saaqib

10 Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٍۢ لَّازِبٍۭ ﴿١١﴾

Fastaftihim ahum ashaddu khalqan am man khalaqnaa; innaa khalaqnaahum min teenil laazib

11 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.

بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ ﴿١٢﴾

Bal'ajibta wa yaskharoon

12 But you wonder, while they mock,

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ ﴿١٣﴾

Wa izaa zukkiroo laa yazkuroon

13 And when they are reminded, they remember not.

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ ﴿١٤﴾

Wa izaa ra aw Aayatinw yastaskhiroon

14 And when they see a sign, they ridicule

وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ ﴿١٥﴾

Wa qaalooo in haazaa illaa sihrum mubeen

15 And say, "This is not but obvious magic.

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ﴿١٦﴾

'A-izaa mitnaa wa kunnaa turaabanw wa 'izaaman 'ainnaa lamab'oosoon

16 When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ﴿١٧﴾

Awa aabaa'unal awwaloon

17 And our forefathers [as well]?"

قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ ﴿١٨﴾

Qul na'am wa antum daakhiroon

18 Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible."

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ﴿١٩﴾

Fa innamaa hiya zajra tunw waahidatun fa izaa hum yanzuroon

19 It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.

وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿٢٠﴾

Qa qaaloo yaa wailanaa haazaa Yawmud-Deen

20 They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."

هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ﴿٢١﴾

Haazaa Yawmul Faslil lazee kuntum bihee tukaziboon

21 [They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."

۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ ﴿٢٢﴾

Uhshurul lazeena zalamoo wa azwaajahum wa maa kaanoo ya'budoon

22 [The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿٢٣﴾

Min doonil laahi fahdoohum ilaa siraatil Jaheem

23 Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire

وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ ﴿٢٤﴾

Wa qifoohum innahum mas'ooloon

24 And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ ﴿٢٥﴾

Maa lakum laa tanaasaroon

25 [They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?"

بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ ﴿٢٦﴾

Bal humul Yawma mustaslimoon

26 But they, that Day, are in surrender.

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ﴿٢٧﴾

Wa aqbala ba'duhum 'alaa ba'diny yatasaaa'aloon

27 And they will approach one another blaming each other.

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ ﴿٢٨﴾

Qaalooo innakum kuntum taatoonanaa 'anil yameen

28 They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."

قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٢٩﴾

Qaaloo bal lam takoonoo mu'mineen

29 The oppressors will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًۭا طَٰغِينَ ﴿٣٠﴾

Wa maa kaana lanaa 'alaikum min sultaanim bal kuntum qawman taagheen

30 And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.

فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ ﴿٣١﴾

Fahaqqa 'alainaa qawlu Rabbinaaa innaa lazaaa'iqoon

31 So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].

فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ ﴿٣٢﴾

Fa aghwainaakum innaa kunnaa ghaaween

32 And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."

فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ ﴿٣٣﴾

Fa innahum Yawma'izin fil'azaabi mushtarikoon

33 So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿٣٤﴾

Innaa kazaalika naf'alu bil mujrimeen

34 Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ﴿٣٥﴾

Innahum kaanooo izaa qeela lahum laaa ilaaha illal laahu yastakbiroon

35 Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah," were arrogant

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍۢ مَّجْنُونٍۭ ﴿٣٦﴾

Wa yaqooloona a'innaa lataarikooo aalihatinaa lishaa'irim majnoon

36 And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"

بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿٣٧﴾

bal jaaa'a bilhaqqi wa saddaqal mursaleen

37 Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.

إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ ﴿٣٨﴾

Innakum lazaaa'iqul 'azaabil aleem

38 Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment,

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٣٩﴾

Wa maa tujzawna illaa maa kuntum ta'maloon

39 And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do -

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿٤٠﴾

Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

40 But not the chosen servants of Allah.

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ﴿٤١﴾

Ulaaa'ika lahum rizqum ma'loom

41 Those will have a provision determined -

فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ ﴿٤٢﴾

Fa waakihu wa hum mukramoon

42 Fruits; and they will be honored

فِى جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ﴿٤٣﴾

Fee jannaatin Na'eem

43 In gardens of pleasure

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ ﴿٤٤﴾

'Alaa sururim mutaqaa bileen

44 On thrones facing one another.

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍۢ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ ﴿٤٥﴾

Yutaafu 'alaihim bikaasim mim ma'een

45 There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring,

بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍۢ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ ﴿٤٦﴾

Baidaaa'a laz zatil lish shaaribeen

46 White and delicious to the drinkers;

لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌۭ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾

Laa feehaa ghawlunw wa laa hum 'anhaa yunzafoon

47 No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated.

وَعِندَهُمْ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌۭ ﴿٤٨﴾

Wa 'indahum qaasiraatut tarfi 'een

48 And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes,

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌۭ مَّكْنُونٌۭ ﴿٤٩﴾

Ka annahunna baidum maknoon

49 As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected.

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ﴿٥٠﴾

Fa aqbala ba'duhum 'alaa badiny yatasaaa 'aloon

50 And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.

قَالَ قَآئِلٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌۭ ﴿٥١﴾

Qaala qaaa'ilum minhum innee kaana lee qareen

51 A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ ﴿٥٢﴾

Yaqoolu a'innnaka laminal musaddiqeen

52 Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ ﴿٥٣﴾

'A-izaa mitnaa wa kunnaa turaabanw wa 'izaaman 'ainnaa lamadeenoon

53 That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'"

قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ ﴿٥٤﴾

Qaala hal antum muttali'oon

54 He will say, "Would you [care to] look?"

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿٥٥﴾

Fattala'a fara aahu fee sawaaa'il Jaheem

55 And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire.

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ ﴿٥٦﴾

Qaala tallaahi in kitta laturdeen

56 He will say, "By Allah, you almost ruined me.

وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ ﴿٥٧﴾

Wa law laa ni'matu Rabbee lakuntu minal muhdareen

57 If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell].

أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ ﴿٥٨﴾

Afamaa nahnu bimaiyiteen

58 Then, are we not to die

إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ﴿٥٩﴾

Illa mawtatanal oola wa maa nahnu bimu'azzabeen

59 Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?"

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ﴿٦٠﴾

Inna haazaa falya'ma lil'aamiloon

60 Indeed, this is the great attainment.

لِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَٰمِلُونَ ﴿٦١﴾

Limisli haaza falya'ma lil 'aamiloon

61 For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work.

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌۭ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ﴿٦٢﴾

Azaalika khairun nuzulan am shajaratuz Zaqqom

62 Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum?

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهَا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ ﴿٦٣﴾

Innaa ja'alnaahaa fitnatal lizzaalimeen

63 Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers.

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌۭ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿٦٤﴾

Innahaa shajaratun takhruju feee aslil Jaheem

64 Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire,

طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ ﴿٦٥﴾

Tal'uhaa ka annahoo ru'oosush Shayaateen

65 Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils.

فَإِنَّهُمْ لَءَاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ ﴿٦٦﴾

Fa innahum la aakiloona minhaa famaali'oona minhal butoon

66 And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًۭا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍۢ ﴿٦٧﴾

Summa inna lahum 'alaihaa lashawbam min hameem

67 Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿٦٨﴾

Summa inna marji'ahum la ilal Jaheem

68 Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire.

إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ ﴿٦٩﴾

Innahum alfaw aabaaa'ahum daaalleen

69 Indeed they found their fathers astray.

فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ ﴿٧٠﴾

Fahum 'alaa aasaarihim yuhra'oon

70 So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.

وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿٧١﴾

Wa laqad dalla qablahum aksarul awwaleen

71 And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ ﴿٧٢﴾

Wa laqad arsalnaa feehim munzireen

72 And We had already sent among them warners.

فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ﴿٧٣﴾

Fanzur kaifa kaana 'aaqibatul munzareen

73 Then look how was the end of those who were warned -

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿٧٤﴾

Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

74 But not the chosen servants of Allah.

وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌۭ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ ﴿٧٥﴾

Wa laqad naadaanaa Noohun falani'mal mujeeboon

75 And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders.

وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿٧٦﴾

Wa jajainaahu wa ahlahoo minal karbil 'azeem

76 And We saved him and his family from the great affliction.

وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ ﴿٧٧﴾

Wa ja'alnaa zurriyyatahoo hummul baaqeen

77 And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ﴿٧٨﴾

Wa taraknaa 'alaihi fil aakhireen

78 And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿٧٩﴾

Salaamun 'alaa Noohin fil 'aalameen

79 "Peace upon Noah among the worlds."

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿٨٠﴾

Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen

80 Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٨١﴾

Innahoo min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen

81 Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ﴿٨٢﴾

Summa aghraqnal aakhareen

82 Then We drowned the disbelievers.

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ﴿٨٣﴾

Wa ina min shee'atihee la Ibraaheem

83 And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,

إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍ ﴿٨٤﴾

Iz jaaa'a Rabbahoo bi qalbin saleem

84 When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿٨٥﴾

Iz qaala li abeehi wa qawmihee maazaa ta'budoon

85 [And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?

أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةًۭ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ ﴿٨٦﴾

A'ifkan aalihatan doonal laahi tureedoon

86 Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire?

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿٨٧﴾

Famaa zannukum bi Rabbil'aalameen

87 Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?"

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةًۭ فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ ﴿٨٨﴾

Fanazara nazratan finnujoom

88 And he cast a look at the stars

فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌۭ ﴿٨٩﴾

Faqaala inee saqeem

89 And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill."

فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ ﴿٩٠﴾

Fatawallaw 'anhu mudbireen

90 So they turned away from him, departing.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ﴿٩١﴾

Faraagha ilaaa aalihatihim faqaala alaa taakuloon

91 Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ ﴿٩٢﴾

Maa lakum laa tantiqoon

92 What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?"

فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ ﴿٩٣﴾

Faraagha 'alaihim darbam bilyameen

93 And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand.

فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ ﴿٩٤﴾

Fa aqbalooo ilaihi yaziffoon

94 Then the people came toward him, hastening.

قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ ﴿٩٥﴾

Qaala ata'budoona maa tanhitoon

95 He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٩٦﴾

Wallaahu khalaqakum wa maa ta'maloon

96 While Allah created you and that which you do?"

قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَٰنًۭا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿٩٧﴾

Qaalub noo lahoo bun yaanan fa alqoohu fil jaheem

97 They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire."

فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًۭا فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ ﴿٩٨﴾

Fa araadoo bihee kaidan faja 'alnaahumul asfaleen

98 And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased.

وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ﴿٩٩﴾

Wa qaala innee zaahibun ilaa Rabbee sa yahdeen

99 And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ﴿١٠٠﴾

Rabbi hab lee minas saaliheen

100 My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."

فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍۢ ﴿١٠١﴾

Fabashsharnaahu bighulaamin haleem

101 So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ ﴿١٠٢﴾

Falamma balagha ma'a hus sa'ya qaala yaa buniya inneee araa fil manaami anneee azbahuka fanzur maazaa taraa; qaala yaaa abatif 'al maa tu'maru satajidunee in shaaa'allaahu minas saabireen

102 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."

فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ ﴿١٠٣﴾

Falammaaa aslamaa wa tallahoo liljabeen

103 And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead,

وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ ﴿١٠٤﴾

Wa naadainaahu ai yaaaa Ibraheem

104 We called to him, "O Abraham,

قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿١٠٥﴾

Qad saddaqtar ru'yaa; innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen

105 You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ ﴿١٠٦﴾

Inna haazaa lahuwal balaaa'ul mubeen

106 Indeed, this was the clear trial.

وَفَدَيْنَٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ﴿١٠٧﴾

Wa fadainaahu bizibhin 'azeem

107 And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ﴿١٠٨﴾

Wa taraknaa 'alaihi fil aakhireen

108 And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ﴿١٠٩﴾

Salaamun 'alaaa Ibraaheem

109 "Peace upon Abraham."

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿١١٠﴾

Kazaalika najzil muhsineen

110 Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١١١﴾

Innahoo min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen

111 Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

وَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِإِسْحَٰقَ نَبِيًّۭا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ﴿١١٢﴾

Wa bashsharnaahu bi Ishaaqa Nabiyayam minas saaliheen

112 And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.

وَبَٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌۭ وَظَالِمٌۭ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌۭ ﴿١١٣﴾

Wa baaraknaa 'alaihi wa 'alaaa Ishaaq; wa min zurriyya tihimaa muhsinunw wa zaalimul linafshihee mubeen

113 And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself.

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ﴿١١٤﴾

Wa laqad mananna alaa Moosaa wa Haaroon

114 And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.

وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿١١٥﴾

Wa najjainaahumaa wa qawmahumaa minal karbil 'azeem

115 And We saved them and their people from the great affliction,

وَنَصَرْنَٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ ﴿١١٦﴾

Wa nasarnaahum fakaanoo humul ghaalibeen

116 And We supported them so it was they who overcame.

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ ﴿١١٧﴾

Wa aatainaahumal Kitaabal mustabeen

117 And We gave them the explicit Scripture,

وَهَدَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ ﴿١١٨﴾

Wa hadainaahumus Siraatal Mustaqeem

118 And We guided them on the straight path.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ﴿١١٩﴾

Wa taraknaa 'alaihimaa fil aakhireen

119 And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations:

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ﴿١٢٠﴾

Salaamun 'alaa Moosaa wa Haaroon

120 "Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿١٢١﴾

Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen

121 Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١٢٢﴾

Innahumaa min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen

122 Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿١٢٣﴾

Wa inna Ilyaasa laminal mursaleen

123 And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,

إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿١٢٤﴾

Iz qaala liqawmiheee alaa tattaqoon

124 When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allah?

أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًۭا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ ﴿١٢٥﴾

Atad'oona Ba'lanw wa tazaroona ahsanal khaaliqeen

125 Do you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators -

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿١٢٦﴾

Allaaha Rabbakum wa Rabba aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen

126 Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?"

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ﴿١٢٧﴾

Fakazzaboohu fa inna hum lamuhdaroon

127 And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿١٢٨﴾

Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

128 Except the chosen servants of Allah.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ﴿١٢٩﴾

Wa taraknaa 'alaihi fil aakhireen

129 And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ ﴿١٣٠﴾

Salaamun 'alaaa Ilyaaseen

130 "Peace upon Elias."

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿١٣١﴾

Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen

131 Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١٣٢﴾

Innahoo min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen

132 Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ لُوطًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿١٣٣﴾

Wa inna Lootal laminal mursaleen

133 And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.

إِذْ نَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿١٣٤﴾

Iz najjainaahu wa ahlahooo ajma'een

134 [So mention] when We saved him and his family, all,

إِلَّا عَجُوزًۭا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ ﴿١٣٥﴾

Illaa 'ajoozan fil ghaabireen

135 Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers].

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ﴿١٣٦﴾

Summa dammarnal aakhareen

136 Then We destroyed the others.

وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ ﴿١٣٧﴾

Wa innakum latamurroona 'alaihim musbiheen

137 And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿١٣٨﴾

Wa billail; afalaa ta'qiloon

138 And at night. Then will you not use reason?

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿١٣٩﴾

Wa inna Yoonusa laminal mursaleen

139 And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ ﴿١٤٠﴾

Iz abaqa ilal fulkil mash hoon

140 [Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ ﴿١٤١﴾

Fasaahama fakaana minal mudhadeen

141 And he drew lots and was among the losers.

فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ ﴿١٤٢﴾

Faltaqamahul hootu wa huwa muleem

142 Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.

فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ ﴿١٤٣﴾

Falaw laaa annahoo kaana minal musabbiheen

143 And had he not been of those who exalt Allah,

لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ﴿١٤٤﴾

Lalabisa fee batniheee ilaa Yawmi yub'asoon

144 He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.

۞ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌۭ ﴿١٤٥﴾

Fanabaznaahu bil'araaa'i wa huwa saqeem

145 But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.

وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةًۭ مِّن يَقْطِينٍۢ ﴿١٤٦﴾

Wa ambatnaa 'alaihi shajaratam mai yaqteen

146 And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.

وَأَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ ﴿١٤٧﴾

Wa arsalnaahu ilaa mi'ati alfin aw yazeedoon

147 And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.

فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ ﴿١٤٨﴾

Fa aamanoo famatta' naahum ilaa heen

148 And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ ﴿١٤٩﴾

Fastaftihim ali Rabbikal banaatu wa lahumul banoon

149 So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?

أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثًۭا وَهُمْ شَٰهِدُونَ ﴿١٥٠﴾

Am khalaqnal malaaa'i kata inaasanw wa hm shaahidoon

150 Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ ﴿١٥١﴾

Alaaa innahum min ifkihim la yaqooloon

151 Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ ﴿١٥٢﴾

Waladal laahu wa innhum lakaaziboon

152 " Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.

أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ ﴿١٥٣﴾

Astafal banaati 'alal baneen

153 Has He chosen daughters over sons?

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ﴿١٥٤﴾

Maa lakum kaifa tahkumoon

154 What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿١٥٥﴾

Afalaa tazakkaroon

155 Then will you not be reminded?

أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ﴿١٥٦﴾

Am lakum sultaanum mubeen

156 Or do you have a clear authority?

فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ ﴿١٥٧﴾

Faatoo bi Kitaabikum in kuntum saadiqeen

157 Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.

وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًۭا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ﴿١٥٨﴾

Wa ja'aloo bainahoo wa bainal jinnati nasabaa; wa laqad 'alimatil jinnatu innahum lamuhdaroon

158 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].

سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ﴿١٥٩﴾

Subhaanal laahi 'ammaa yasifoon

159 Exalted is Allah above what they describe,

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿١٦٠﴾

Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

160 Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin].

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿١٦١﴾

Fa innakum wa maa ta'ubdoon

161 So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,

مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ ﴿١٦٢﴾

Maaa antum 'alaihi befaaatineen

162 You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿١٦٣﴾

Illaa man huwa saalil jaheem

163 Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ﴿١٦٤﴾

Wa maa minnasa illaa lahoo maqaamum ma'loom

164 [The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ ﴿١٦٥﴾

Wa innaa llanah nus saaffoon

165 And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ ﴿١٦٦﴾

Wa innaa lanah nul musabbihoon

166 And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah."

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ ﴿١٦٧﴾

Wa in kaanoo la yaqooloon

167 And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,

لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿١٦٨﴾

Law anna 'indana zikram minal awwaleen

168 "If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿١٦٩﴾

Lakunna 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

169 We would have been the chosen servants of Allah."

فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿١٧٠﴾

Fakafaroo bihee fasawfa ya'lamoon

170 But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿١٧١﴾

Wa laqad sabaqat Kalimatunaa li'ibaadinal mursa leen

171 And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ ﴿١٧٢﴾

Innaa hum lahumul mansooroon

172 [That] indeed, they would be those given victory

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ ﴿١٧٣﴾

Wa inna jundana lahumul ghaaliboon

173 And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ ﴿١٧٤﴾

Fatawalla 'anhum hatta heen

174 So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time.

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ﴿١٧٥﴾

Wa absirhum fasawfa yubsiroon

175 And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ﴿١٧٦﴾

Afabi'azaabinaa yasta'jiloon

176 Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ﴿١٧٧﴾

Fa izaa nazala bisaahatihim fasaaa'a sabaahul munzareen

177 But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ ﴿١٧٨﴾

Wa tawalla 'anhum hattaa heen

178 And leave them for a time.

وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ﴿١٧٩﴾

Wa absir fasawfa yubsiroon

179 And see, for they are going to see.

سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ﴿١٨٠﴾

Subhaana Rabbika Rabbil 'izzati 'amma yasifoon

180 Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿١٨١﴾

Wa salaamun 'alalmursaleen

181 And peace upon the messengers.

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿١٨٢﴾

Walhamdu lillaahi Rabbil 'aalameen

182 And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
