alif lām rā, kitābun uḥkimat āyātuhū ṡumma fuṣṣilat mil ladun ḥakīmin khabīr(in).

Alif Lam Ra. This Book’s verses are arranged with precision, then detailed clearly, revealed from the All-Wise, All-Aware.

اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْٓا اِلَّا اللّٰهَ ۗاِنَّنِيْ لَكُمْ مِّنْهُ نَذِيْرٌ وَّبَشِيْرٌۙ

allā ta‘budū illallāh(a), innanī lakum minhu nażīruw wa basyīr(un).

Worship none but Allah. I, Muhammad, am a warner and bearer of glad tidings from Him to you.

وَّاَنِ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْٓا اِلَيْهِ يُمَتِّعْكُمْ مَّتَاعًا حَسَنًا اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَّيُؤْتِ كُلَّ ذِيْ فَضْلٍ فَضْلَهٗ ۗ وَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ كَبِيْرٍ

wa anistagfirū rabbakum ṡumma tūbū ilaihi yumatti‘kum matā‘an ḥasanan ilā ajalim musammaw wa yu'ti kulla żī faḍlin faḍlah(ū), wa in tawallau fa innī akhāfu ‘alaikum ‘ażāba yaumin kabīr(in).

Seek forgiveness from your Lord, repent to Him; He will grant you good provisions until an appointed time. He bestows His bounty on every doer of good. If you turn away, I fear for you the torment of a great Day.

اِلَى اللّٰهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ ۚوَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ

ilallāhi marji‘ukum, wa huwa ‘alā kulli syai'in qadīr(un).

To Allah is your return; He has power over all things.

اَلَآ اِنَّهُمْ يَثْنُوْنَ صُدُوْرَهُمْ لِيَسْتَخْفُوْا مِنْهُۗ اَلَا حِيْنَ يَسْتَغْشُوْنَ ثِيَابَهُمْ ۙيَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّوْنَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُوْنَۚ اِنَّهٗ عَلِيْمٌ ۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ ۔

alā innahum yaṡnūna ṣudūrahum liyastakhfū minh(u), alā ḥīna yastagsyūna ṡiyābahum, ya‘lamu mā yusirrūna wa mā yu‘linūn(a), innahū ‘alīmum biżātiṣ-ṣudūr(i).

Indeed, hypocrites turn their chests to hide from him. Even when they cover themselves with garments, Allah knows what they conceal and reveal. He knows all hearts’ secrets.

۞ وَمَا مِنْ دَاۤبَّةٍ فِى الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا عَلَى اللّٰهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا ۗ كُلٌّ فِيْ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِيْنٍ

wa mā min dābbatin fil-arḍi illā ‘alallāhi rizquhā wa ya‘lamu mustaqarrahā wa mustauda‘ahā, kullun fī kitābim mubīn(in).

No living creature moves on earth but Allah guarantees its sustenance. He knows its dwelling and resting place; all is recorded in a clear Book.

وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ فِيْ سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ وَّكَانَ عَرْشُهٗ عَلَى الْمَاۤءِ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ اَيُّكُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ۗ وَلَىِٕنْ قُلْتَ اِنَّكُمْ مَّبْعُوْثُوْنَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ الْمَوْتِ لَيَقُوْلَنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اِنْ هٰذَٓا اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ

wa huwal-lażī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa fī sittati ayyāmiw wa kāna ‘arsyuhū ‘alal-mā'i liyabluwakum ayyukum aḥsanu ‘amalā(n), wa la'in qulta innakum mab‘ūṡūna mim ba‘dil-mauti layaqūlannal-lażīna kafarū in hāżā illā siḥrum mubīn(un).

He created heavens and earth in six days, His Throne over water, to test who among you excels in deeds. If you say, 'You’ll be resurrected after death,' disbelievers say, 'This is mere sorcery.'

وَلَىِٕنْ اَخَّرْنَا عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ اِلٰٓى اُمَّةٍ مَّعْدُوْدَةٍ لَّيَقُوْلُنَّ مَا يَحْبِسُهٗ ۗ اَلَا يَوْمَ يَأْتِيْهِمْ لَيْسَ مَصْرُوْفًا عَنْهُمْ وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ ࣖ

wa la'in akhkharnā ‘anhumul-‘ażāba ilā ummatim ma‘dūdatil layaqūlunna mā yaḥbisuh(ū), alā yauma ya'tīhim laisa maṣrūfan ‘anhum wa ḥāqa bihim mā kānū bihī yastahzi'ūn(a).

If We delay their punishment until a set time, they’ll ask, 'What holds it back?' When it comes, they cannot avert it; they’ll be surrounded by what they mocked.

وَلَىِٕنْ اَذَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعْنٰهَا مِنْهُۚ اِنَّهٗ لَيَـُٔوْسٌ كَفُوْرٌ

wa la'in ażaqnal-insāna minnā raḥmatan ṡumma naza‘nāhā ‘anh(u), innahū laya'ūsun kafūr(un).

If We grant man Our mercy, then withdraw it, he despairs, ungrateful.

وَلَىِٕنْ اَذَقْنٰهُ نَعْمَاۤءَ بَعْدَ ضَرَّاۤءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُوْلَنَّ ذَهَبَ السَّيِّاٰتُ عَنِّيْ ۗاِنَّهٗ لَفَرِحٌ فَخُوْرٌۙ

wa la'in ażaqnāhu na‘mā'a ba‘da ḍarrā'a massathu layaqūlanna żahabas-sayyi'ātu ‘annī, innahū lafariḥun fakhūr(un).

If We grant him joy after hardship, he says, 'Misfortune has left me.' He becomes boastful, exultant.

اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ صَبَرُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّاَجْرٌ كَبِيْرٌ

illal-lażīna ṣabarū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāt(i), ulā'ika lahum magfiratuw wa ajrun kabīr(un).

Except those who are patient and do good; they gain forgiveness and great reward.

فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكٌۢ بَعْضَ مَا يُوْحٰىٓ اِلَيْكَ وَضَاۤىِٕقٌۢ بِهٖ صَدْرُكَ اَنْ يَّقُوْلُوْا لَوْلَآ اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ كَنْزٌ اَوْ جَاۤءَ مَعَهٗ مَلَكٌ ۗ اِنَّمَآ اَنْتَ نَذِيْرٌ ۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَّكِيْلٌ ۗ

fa la‘allaka tārikum ba‘ḍa mā yūḥā ilaika wa ḍā'ikum bihī ṣadruka ay yaqūlū lau lā unzila ‘alaihi kanzun au jā'a ma‘ahū malak(un), innamā anta nażīr(un), wallāhu ‘alā kulli syai'in wakīl(un).

Perhaps you, Muhammad, might abandon some revelations, your heart distressed, because they say, 'Why no treasure or angel comes with him?' You are only a warner; Allah is Guardian over all.

اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰىهُ ۗقُلْ فَأْتُوْا بِعَشْرِ سُوَرٍ مِّثْلِهٖ مُفْتَرَيٰتٍ وَّادْعُوْا مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ

am yaqūlūnaftarāh(u), qul fa'tū bi‘asyri suwarim miṡlihī muftarayātiw wad‘ū manistaṭa‘tum min dūnillāhi in kuntum ṣādiqīn(a).

They claim, 'He fabricated the Qur’an.' Say, 'Produce ten chapters like it, fabricated, and call anyone besides Allah if you’re truthful.'

فَاِلَّمْ يَسْتَجِيْبُوْا لَكُمْ فَاعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّمَآ اُنْزِلَ بِعِلْمِ اللّٰهِ وَاَنْ لَّآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ۚفَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ

fa illam yastajībū lakum fa‘lamū annamā unzila bi‘ilmillāhi wa allā ilāha illā huw(a), fahal antum muslimūn(a).

If they fail your challenge, know the Qur’an was revealed with Allah’s knowledge; no god exists but He. Will you submit?

مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيْدُ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِيْنَتَهَا نُوَفِّ اِلَيْهِمْ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فِيْهَا وَهُمْ فِيْهَا لَا يُبْخَسُوْنَ

man kāna yurīdul-ḥayātad-dun-yā wa zīnatahā nuwaffi ilaihim a‘mālahum fīhā wa hum fīhā lā yubkhasūn(a).

Whoever seeks worldly life and its splendor, We grant their deeds’ full reward in this world, undiminished.

اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا النَّارُ ۖوَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُوْا فِيْهَا وَبٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ

ulā'ikal-lażīna laisa lahum fil-ākhirati illan-nār(u), wa ḥabiṭa mā ṣana‘ū fīhā wa bāṭilum mā kānū ya‘malūn(a).

They gain nothing in the Hereafter but Fire; their efforts in this world are vain, their deeds worthless.

اَفَمَنْ كَانَ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ وَيَتْلُوْهُ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْهُ وَمِنْ قَبْلِهٖ كِتٰبُ مُوْسٰىٓ اِمَامًا وَّرَحْمَةًۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖ ۗوَمَنْ يَّكْفُرْ بِهٖ مِنَ الْاَحْزَابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهٗ فَلَا تَكُ فِيْ مِرْيَةٍ مِّنْهُ اِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ

afaman kāna ‘alā bayyinatim mir rabbihī wa yatlūhu syāhidum minhu wa min qablihī kitābu mūsā imāmaw wa raḥmah(tan), ulā'ika yu'minūna bih(ī), wa may yakfur bihī minal-aḥzābi fan-nāru mau‘iduhū falā taku fī miryatim minhu innahul-ḥaqqu mir rabbika wa lākinna akṡaran-nāsi lā yu'minūn(a).

Can disbelievers equal one with clear proof from his Lord, recited by His witness, preceded by Moses’ Book as guidance and mercy? Believers trust it. Whichever group denies it, Fire is their promised end. Doubt not the Qur’an; it is truth from your Lord, yet most people believe not.

وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًاۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ يُعْرَضُوْنَ عَلٰى رَبِّهِمْ وَيَقُوْلُ الْاَشْهَادُ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَبُوْا عَلٰى رَبِّهِمْۚ اَلَا لَعْنَةُ اللّٰهِ عَلَى الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ۙ

wa man aẓlamu mimmaniftarā ‘alallāhi każibā(n), ulā'ika yu‘raḍūna ‘alā rabbihim wa yaqūlul-asyhādu hā'ulā'il-lażīna każabū ‘alā rabbihim, alā la‘natullāhi ‘alaẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

Who is more unjust than one who invents lies against Allah? They’ll face their Lord; witnesses will say, 'These lied against their Lord.' Allah’s curse befalls the unjust.

الَّذِيْنَ يَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ وَيَبْغُوْنَهَا عِوَجًاۗ وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ كفِٰرُوْنَ

al-lażīna yaṣuddūna ‘an sabīlillāhi wa yabgūnahā ‘iwajā(n), wa hum bil-ākhirati hum kāfirūn(a).

They block Allah’s path, seeking to distort it, denying the Hereafter.

اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَمْ يَكُوْنُوْا مُعْجِزِيْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ ۘ يُضٰعَفُ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ ۗمَا كَانُوْا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ السَّمْعَ وَمَا كَانُوْا يُبْصِرُوْنَ

ulā'ika lam yakūnū mu‘jizīna fil-arḍi wa mā kāna lahum min dūnillāhi min auliyā'(a), yuḍā‘afu lahumul-‘ażāb(u), mā kānū yastaṭī‘ūnas-sam‘a wa mā kānū yubṣirūn(a).

They cannot thwart Allah’s punishment on earth; no protectors exist besides Him. Their torment will be doubled; they could neither hear nor see truth.

اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ خَسِرُوْٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يَفْتَرُوْنَ

ulā'ikal-lażīna khasirū anfusahum wa ḍalla ‘anhum mā kānū yaftarūn(a).

They ruin themselves; their invented deities vanish.

لَاجَرَمَ اَنَّهُمْ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ هُمُ الْاَخْسَرُوْنَ

lā jarama annahum fil-ākhirati humul-akhsarūn(a).

They are the greatest losers in the Hereafter.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَاَخْبَتُوْٓا اِلٰى رَبِّهِمْۙ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِۚ هُمْ فِيْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ

innal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti wa akhbatū ilā rabbihim, ulā'ika aṣḥābul-jannati hum fīhā khālidūn(a).

Those who believe, do good, and humble themselves before their Lord are Paradise’s dwellers, abiding forever.

۞ مَثَلُ الْفَرِيْقَيْنِ كَالْاَعْمٰى وَالْاَصَمِّ وَالْبَصِيْرِ وَالسَّمِيْعِۗ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيٰنِ مَثَلًا ۗ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ ࣖ

maṡalul-farīqaini kal-a‘mā wal-aṣammi wal-baṣīri was-samī‘(i), hal yastawiyāni maṡalā(n), afalā tażakkarūn(a).

The parable of disbelievers and believers is like the blind and deaf versus those who see and hear. Are they equal? Will you not reflect?

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰى قَوْمِهٖٓ اِنِّيْ لَكُمْ نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ۙ

wa laqad arsalnā nūḥan ilā qaumihī innī lakum nażīrum mubīn(un).

We sent Noah to his people; he said, 'I am a clear warner to you.'

اَنْ لَّا تَعْبُدُوْٓا اِلَّا اللّٰهَ ۖاِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ اَلِيْمٍ

allā ta‘budū illallāh(a), innī akhāfu ‘alaikum ‘ażāba yaumin alīm(in).

Worship none but Allah; I fear for you the torment of a painful Day.

فَقَالَ الْمَلَاُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖ مَا نَرٰىكَ اِلَّا بَشَرًا مِّثْلَنَا وَمَا نَرٰىكَ اتَّبَعَكَ اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ اَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِيَ الرَّأْيِۚ وَمَا نَرٰى لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ فَضْلٍۢ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كٰذِبِيْنَ

fa qālal-mala'ul-lażīna kafarū min qaumihī mā narāka illā basyaram miṡlanā wa mā narākattaba‘aka illal-lażīna hum arāżilunā bādiyar-ra'y(i), wa mā narā lakum ‘alainā min faḍlim bal naẓunnukum kāżibīn(a).

Disbelieving leaders of his people said, 'We see you as a mere man like us; only the lowliest follow you, hastily believing. We see no merit in you; we deem you liars.'

قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّيْ وَاٰتٰىنِيْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِهٖ فَعُمِّيَتْ عَلَيْكُمْۗ اَنُلْزِمُكُمُوْهَا وَاَنْتُمْ لَهَا كٰرِهُوْنَ

qāla yā qaumi ara'aitum in kuntu ‘alā bayyinatim mir rabbī wa ātānī raḥmatam min ‘indihī fa ‘ummiyat ‘alaikum, anulzimukumūhā wa antum lahā kārihūn(a).

Noah said, 'My people, what if I have clear proof from my Lord and His mercy, unseen to you? Shall we force it on you while you reject it?'

وَيٰقَوْمِ لَآ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مَالًاۗ اِنْ اَجْرِيَ اِلَّا عَلَى اللّٰهِ وَمَآ اَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْاۗ اِنَّهُمْ مُّلٰقُوْا رَبِّهِمْ وَلٰكِنِّيْٓ اَرٰىكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُوْنَ

wa yā qaumi lā as'alukum ‘alaihi mālā(n), in ajriya illā ‘alallāhi wa mā ana biṭāridil-lażīna āmanū, innahum mulāqū rabbihim wa lākinnī arākum qauman tajhalūn(a).

My people, I seek no wealth for my call; my reward is with Allah. I won’t expel believers; they’ll meet their Lord. I see you as ignorant.

وَيٰقَوْمِ مَنْ يَّنْصُرُنِيْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنْ طَرَدْتُّهُمْ ۗ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ

wa yā qaumi may yanṣurunī minallāhi in ṭarattuhum, afalā tażakkarūn(a).

My people, who would protect me from Allah if I expelled them? Will you not reflect?

وَلَآ اَقُوْلُ لَكُمْ عِنْدِيْ خَزَاۤىِٕنُ اللّٰهِ وَلَآ اَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ وَلَآ اَقُوْلُ اِنِّيْ مَلَكٌ وَّلَآ اَقُوْلُ لِلَّذِيْنَ تَزْدَرِيْٓ اَعْيُنُكُمْ لَنْ يُّؤْتِيَهُمُ اللّٰهُ خَيْرًا ۗ اَللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِيْٓ اَنْفُسِهِمْ ۚاِنِّيْٓ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

wa lā aqūlu lakum ‘indī khazā'inullāhi wa lā a‘lamul-gaiba wa lā aqūlu innī malakuw wa lā aqūlu lil-lażīna tazdarī a‘yunukum lay yu'tiyahumullāhu khairā(n), allāhu a‘lamu bimā fī anfusihim, innī iżal laminaẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

I claim not Allah’s treasures, nor the unseen, nor that I’m an angel. I don’t say Allah denies goodness to those you scorn. Allah knows their hearts. If I did, I’d be unjust.

قَالُوْا يٰنُوْحُ قَدْ جَادَلْتَنَا فَاَ كْثَرْتَ جِدَالَنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ

qālū yā nūḥu qad jādaltanā fa akṡarta jidālanā fa'tinā bimā ta‘idunā in kunta minaṣ-ṣādiqīn(a).

They said, 'Noah, you’ve argued with us at length; bring the torment you threaten if you’re truthful.'

قَالَ اِنَّمَا يَأْتِيْكُمْ بِهِ اللّٰهُ اِنْ شَاۤءَ وَمَآ اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِيْنَ

qāla innamā ya'tīkum bihillāhu in syā'a wa mā antum bimu‘jizīn(a).

Noah said, 'Only Allah brings it if He wills; you cannot escape.'

وَلَا يَنْفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِيْٓ اِنْ اَرَدْتُّ اَنْ اَنْصَحَ لَكُمْ اِنْ كَانَ اللّٰهُ يُرِيْدُ اَنْ يُّغْوِيَكُمْ ۗهُوَ رَبُّكُمْ ۗوَاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَۗ

wa lā yanfa‘ukum nuṣḥī in arattu an anṣaḥa lakum in kānallāhu yurīdu ay yugwiyakum, huwa rabbukum, wa ilaihi turja‘ūn(a).

My counsel won’t benefit those Allah wills to stray, though I advise you. He is your Lord; to Him you return.

اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰىهُۗ قُلْ اِنِ افْتَرَيْتُهٗ فَعَلَيَّ اِجْرَامِيْ وَاَنَا۠ بَرِيْۤءٌ مِّمَّا تُجْرِمُوْنَ ࣖ

am yaqūlūnaftarāh(u), qul iniftaraituhū fa ‘alayya ijrāmī wa ana barī'um mimmā tujrimūn(a).

They say, 'He fabricated it.' Say, 'If I did, my sin is mine, but I’m innocent of your sins.'

وَاُوْحِيَ اِلٰى نُوْحٍ اَنَّهٗ لَنْ يُّؤْمِنَ مِنْ قَوْمِكَ اِلَّا مَنْ قَدْ اٰمَنَ فَلَا تَبْتَىِٕسْ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَفْعَلُوْنَۖ

wa ūḥiya ilā nūḥin annahū lay yu'mina min qaumika illā man qad āmana falā tabta'is bimā kānū yaf‘alūn(a).

Noah was revealed, 'None of your people will believe except those who already have. Grieve not over their deeds.'

وَاصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِاَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا وَلَا تُخَاطِبْنِيْ فِى الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا ۚاِنَّهُمْ مُّغْرَقُوْنَ

waṣna‘il-fulka bi'a‘yuninā wa waḥyinā wa lā tukhāṭibnī fil-lażīna ẓalamū, innahum mugraqūn(a).

Build the ark under Our guidance and sight; plead not for the unjust—they’ll drown.

وَيَصْنَعُ الْفُلْكَۗ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ مَلَاٌ مِّنْ قَوْمِهٖ سَخِرُوْا مِنْهُ ۗقَالَ اِنْ تَسْخَرُوْا مِنَّا فَاِنَّا نَسْخَرُ مِنْكُمْ كَمَا تَسْخَرُوْنَۗ

wa yaṣna‘ul-fulk(a), wa kullamā marra ‘alaihi mala'um min qaumihī sakhirū minh(u), qāla in taskharū minnā fa innā naskharu minkum kamā taskharūn(a).

He built the ark; whenever his people’s leaders passed, they mocked him. He said, 'If you mock us, we’ll mock you as you do.'

فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَۙ مَنْ يَّأْتِيْهِ عَذَابٌ يُّخْزِيْهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيْمٌ

fa saufa ta‘lamūn(a), may ya'tīhi ‘ażābuy yukhzīhi wa yaḥillu ‘alaihi ‘ażābum muqīm(un).

You’ll know who faces humiliating torment and lasting punishment.

حَتّٰىٓ اِذَا جَاۤءَ اَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّوْرُۙ قُلْنَا احْمِلْ فِيْهَا مِنْ كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَاَهْلَكَ اِلَّا مَنْ سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلُ وَمَنْ اٰمَنَ ۗوَمَآ اٰمَنَ مَعَهٗٓ اِلَّا قَلِيْلٌ

Ḥattā iżā jā'a amrunā wafārat-tannūr(u), qulnaḥmil fīhā min kullin zaujainiṡnaini wa ahlaka illā man sabaqa ‘alaihil-qaulu wa man āman(a), wa mā āmana ma‘ahū illā qalīl(un).

When Our command came and waters gushed, We said, 'Load a pair of each kind, your family—except those decreed against—and believers.' Few believed with him.

۞ وَقَالَ ارْكَبُوْا فِيْهَا بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ مَجْرٰ۪ىهَا وَمُرْسٰىهَا ۗاِنَّ رَبِّيْ لَغَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ

wa qālarkabū fīhā bismillāhi majrêhā wa mursāhā, inna rabbī lagafūrur raḥīm(un).

He said, 'Board it, invoking Allah’s name for its sailing and anchoring. My Lord is Forgiving, Merciful.'

وَهِيَ تَجْرِيْ بِهِمْ فِيْ مَوْجٍ كَالْجِبَالِۗ وَنَادٰى نُوْحُ ِۨابْنَهٗ وَكَانَ فِيْ مَعْزِلٍ يّٰبُنَيَّ ارْكَبْ مَّعَنَا وَلَا تَكُنْ مَّعَ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ

wa hiya tajrī bihim fī maujin kal-jibāl(i), wa nādā nūḥunibnahū wa kāna fī ma‘ziliy yā bunayyarkam ma‘anā wa lā takum ma‘al-kāfirīn(a).

The ark sailed with them amid mountain-like waves. Noah called his son, standing apart, 'My son, board with us; don’t be with disbelievers.'

قَالَ سَاٰوِيْٓ اِلٰى جَبَلٍ يَّعْصِمُنِيْ مِنَ الْمَاۤءِ ۗقَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ اَمْرِ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَ ۚوَحَالَ بَيْنَهُمَا الْمَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُغْرَقِيْنَ

qāla sa'āwī ilā jabaliy ya‘ṣimunī minal-mā'(i), qāla lā ‘āṣimal-yauma min amrillāhi illā ma raḥim(a), wa ḥāla bainahumal-mauju fa kāna minal-mugraqīn(a).

His son said, 'I’ll seek a mountain’s refuge from the flood.' Noah said, 'None escapes Allah’s decree today except those He mercies.' Waves separated them; his son drowned.

وَقِيْلَ يٰٓاَرْضُ ابْلَعِيْ مَاۤءَكِ وَيٰسَمَاۤءُ اَقْلِعِيْ وَغِيْضَ الْمَاۤءُ وَقُضِيَ الْاَمْرُ وَاسْتَوَتْ عَلَى الْجُوْدِيِّ وَقِيْلَ بُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

wa qīla yā arḍubla‘ī mā'aki wa yā samā'u aqli‘ī wa gīḍal-mā'u wa quḍiyal-amru wastawat ‘alal-jūdiyyi wa qīla bu‘dal lil-qaumiẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

It was said, 'Earth, swallow your waters; sky, cease.' The flood receded, the matter settled; the ark rested on Judi. It was said, 'Away with the unjust.'

وَنَادٰى نُوْحٌ رَّبَّهٗ فَقَالَ رَبِّ اِنَّ ابْنِيْ مِنْ اَهْلِيْۚ وَاِنَّ وَعْدَكَ الْحَقُّ وَاَنْتَ اَحْكَمُ الْحٰكِمِيْنَ

wa nādā nūḥur rabbahū fa qāla rabbi innabnī min ahlī, wa inna wa‘dakal-ḥaqqu wa anta aḥkamul-ḥākimīn(a).

Noah called his Lord, 'My Lord, my son is of my family; Your promise is true. You are the most just Judge.'

قَالَ يٰنُوْحُ اِنَّهٗ لَيْسَ مِنْ اَهْلِكَ ۚاِنَّهٗ عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ صَالِحٍ فَلَا تَسْـَٔلْنِ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ ۗاِنِّيْٓ اَعِظُكَ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْجٰهِلِيْنَ

Allah said, 'Noah, he is not your family; his deeds are unrighteous. Ask not what you know not. I warn you against ignorance.'

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْٓ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ اَنْ اَسْـَٔلَكَ مَا لَيْسَ لِيْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ ۗوَاِلَّا تَغْفِرْ لِيْ وَتَرْحَمْنِيْٓ اَكُنْ مِّنَ الْخٰسِرِيْنَ

qāla rabbi innī a‘ūżu bika an as'alaka mā laisa lī bihī ‘ilm(un), wa illā tagfir lī wa tarḥamnī akum minal-khāsirīn(a).

Noah said, 'My Lord, I seek refuge in You from asking what I know not. Unless You forgive and mercy me, I’ll be among the losers.'

قِيْلَ يٰنُوْحُ اهْبِطْ بِسَلٰمٍ مِّنَّا وَبَرَكٰتٍ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلٰٓى اُمَمٍ مِّمَّنْ مَّعَكَ ۗوَاُمَمٌ سَنُمَتِّعُهُمْ ثُمَّ يَمَسُّهُمْ مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ

It was said, 'Noah, disembark with peace and blessings from Us upon you and believing nations with you. Others We’ll grant worldly joy, then a painful torment.'

تِلْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَاۤءِ الْغَيْبِ نُوْحِيْهَآ اِلَيْكَ ۚمَا كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُهَآ اَنْتَ وَلَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ هٰذَاۚ فَاصْبِرْۚ اِنَّ الْعَاقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَ ࣖ

These are unseen tidings We reveal to you, Muhammad, unknown to you or your people before. Be patient; the outcome favors the righteous.

وَاِلٰى عَادٍ اَخَاهُمْ هُوْدًا ۗقَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗ ۗاِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا مُفْتَرُوْنَ

wa ilā ‘ādin akhāhum hūdā(n), qāla yā qaumi‘budullāha mā lakum min ilāhin gairuh(ū), in antum illā muftarūn(a).

To ‘Ad, We sent their brother Hud. He said, 'My people, worship Allah; you have no god but Him. You merely invent.'

يٰقَوْمِ لَآ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ اَجْرًا ۗاِنْ اَجْرِيَ اِلَّا عَلَى الَّذِيْ فَطَرَنِيْ ۗ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ

yā qaumi lā as'alukum ‘alaihi ajrā(n), in ajriya illā ‘alal-lażī faṭaranī, afalā ta‘qilūn(a).

My people, I seek no reward for this; my reward is with He who created me. Will you not understand?

وَيٰقَوْمِ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْٓا اِلَيْهِ يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاۤءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّدْرَارًا وَّيَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّةً اِلٰى قُوَّتِكُمْ وَلَا تَتَوَلَّوْا مُجْرِمِيْنَ

wa yā qaumistagfirū rabbakum ṡumma tūbū ilaihi yursilis-samā'a ‘alaikum midrāraw wa yazidkum quwwatan ilā quwwatikum wa lā tatawallau mujrimīn(a).

My people, seek your Lord’s forgiveness, repent to Him; He’ll send abundant rain, increase your strength, and don’t turn away as sinners.

قَالُوْا يٰهُوْدُ مَاجِئْتَنَا بِبَيِّنَةٍ وَّمَا نَحْنُ بِتَارِكِيْٓ اٰلِهَتِنَا عَنْ قَوْلِكَ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

qālū yā hūdu mā ji'tanā bibayyinatiw wa mā naḥnu bitārikī ālihatinā ‘an qaulika wa mā naḥnu laka bimu'minīn(a).

They said, 'Hud, you bring no clear proof; we won’t abandon our gods for your words, nor trust you.'

اِنْ نَّقُوْلُ اِلَّا اعْتَرٰىكَ بَعْضُ اٰلِهَتِنَا بِسُوْۤءٍ ۗقَالَ اِنِّيْٓ اُشْهِدُ اللّٰهَ وَاشْهَدُوْٓا اَنِّيْ بَرِيْۤءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُوْنَ

in naqūlu illa‘tarāka ba‘ḍu ālihatinā bisū'(in), qāla innī usyhidullāha wasyhadū annī barī'um mimmā tusyrikūn(a).

We say some of our gods afflicted you with madness.' Hud said, 'I call Allah to witness, and you witness, I’m free from what you associate.'

مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ فَكِيْدُوْنِيْ جَمِيْعًا ثُمَّ لَا تُنْظِرُوْنِ

min dūnihī fa kīdūnī jamī‘an ṡumma lā tunẓirūn(i).

With others besides Him, so plot against me all together; grant me no delay.

اِنِّيْ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللّٰهِ رَبِّيْ وَرَبِّكُمْ ۗمَا مِنْ دَاۤبَّةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ اٰخِذٌۢ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا ۗاِنَّ رَبِّيْ عَلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ

innī tawakkaltu ‘alallāhi rabbī wa rabbikum, mā min dābbatin illā huwa ākhiżum bināṣiyatihā, inna rabbī ‘alā ṣirāṭim mustaqīm(in).

I trust in Allah, my Lord and yours. No creature moves but He holds its forelock. My Lord is on a straight path.

فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقَدْ اَبْلَغْتُكُمْ مَّآ اُرْسِلْتُ بِهٖٓ اِلَيْكُمْ ۗوَيَسْتَخْلِفُ رَبِّيْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْۗ وَلَا تَضُرُّوْنَهٗ شَيْـًٔا ۗاِنَّ رَبِّيْ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَفِيْظٌ

If you turn away, I’ve delivered my message to you. My Lord will replace you with another people; you harm Him not. My Lord guards all things.

وَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا هُوْدًا وَّالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّاۚ وَنَجَّيْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِيْظٍ

wa lammā jā'a amrunā najjainā hūdaw wal-lażīna āmanū ma‘ahū biraḥmatim minnā, wa najjaināhum min ‘ażābin galīẓ(in).

When Our decree came, We saved Hud and believers with him by Our mercy, shielding them from harsh torment.

وَتِلْكَ عَادٌ ۖجَحَدُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَصَوْا رُسُلَهٗ وَاتَّبَعُوْٓا اَمْرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيْدٍ

wa tilka ‘ādun jaḥadū bi'āyāti rabbihim wa ‘aṣau rusulahū wattaba‘ū amra kulli jabbārin ‘anīd(in).

Such were ‘Ad; they denied their Lord’s signs, disobeyed His messengers, and followed every tyrant’s command.

وَاُتْبِعُوْا فِيْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا لَعْنَةً وَّيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ ۗ اَلَآ اِنَّ عَادًا كَفَرُوْا رَبَّهُمْ ۗ اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّعَادٍ قَوْمِ هُوْدٍ ࣖ

wa utbi‘ū fī hażihid-dun-yā la‘nataw wa yaumal-qiyāmah(ti), alā inna ‘ādan kafarū rabbahum, alā bu‘dal li‘ādin qaumi hūd(in).

They were cursed in this world and on Judgment Day. ‘Ad rejected their Lord; away with ‘Ad, Hud’s people.

۞ وَاِلٰى ثَمُوْدَ اَخَاهُمْ صٰلِحًا ۘ قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗ ۗهُوَ اَنْشَاَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ وَاسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِيْهَا فَاسْتَغْفِرُوْهُ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْٓا اِلَيْهِ ۗاِنَّ رَبِّيْ قَرِيْبٌ مُّجِيْبٌ

To Thamud, We sent their brother Saleh. He said, 'My people, worship Allah; you have no god but Him. He formed you from earth, making you its stewards. Seek His forgiveness, repent; my Lord is near, responsive.'

قَالُوْا يٰصٰلِحُ قَدْ كُنْتَ فِيْنَا مَرْجُوًّا قَبْلَ هٰذَآ اَتَنْهٰىنَآ اَنْ نَّعْبُدَ مَا يَعْبُدُ اٰبَاۤؤُنَا وَاِنَّنَا لَفِيْ شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدْعُوْنَآ اِلَيْهِ مُرِيْبٍ

They said, 'Saleh, you were our hope; now you forbid us from worshiping our ancestors’ gods? We doubt and fear what you call us to.'

قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّيْۗ وَاٰتٰىنِيْ مِنْهُ رَحْمَةً فَمَنْ يَّنْصُرُنِيْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنْ عَصَيْتُهٗ ۗفَمَا تَزِيْدُوْنَنِيْ غَيْرَ تَخْسِيْرٍ

Saleh said, 'My people, if I have clear proof from my Lord and His mercy, who’d protect me from Allah if I disobeyed? You’d only deepen my loss.'

وَيٰقَوْمِ هٰذِهٖ نَاقَةُ اللّٰهِ لَكُمْ اٰيَةً فَذَرُوْهَا تَأْكُلْ فِيْٓ اَرْضِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا تَمَسُّوْهَا بِسُوْۤءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ قَرِيْبٌ

wa yā qaumi hāżihī nāqatullāhi lakum āyatan fa żarūhā ta'kul fī arḍillāhi wa lā tamassūhā bisū'in fa ya'khużakum ‘ażābun qarīb(un).

My people, this she-camel is Allah’s sign for you; let her graze on His earth, unharmed, lest swift torment seizes you.

فَعَقَرُوْهَا فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعُوْا فِيْ دَارِكُمْ ثَلٰثَةَ اَيَّامٍ ۗذٰلِكَ وَعْدٌ غَيْرُ مَكْذُوْبٍ

fa ‘aqarūhā fa qāla tamatta‘ū fī dārikum ṡalāṡata ayyām(in), żālika wa‘dun gairu makżūb(in).

They slaughtered her. Saleh said, 'Enjoy your homes for three days; this promise won’t be broken.'

فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا صٰلِحًا وَّالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَمِنْ خِزْيِ يَوْمِىِٕذٍ ۗاِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْقَوِيُّ الْعَزِيْزُ

falammā jā'a amrunā najjainā ṣāliḥaw wal-lażīna āmanū ma‘ahū biraḥmatim minnā wa min khizyi yaumi'iż(in), inna rabbaka huwal-qawiyyul-‘ażīz(u).

When Our decree came, We saved Saleh and believers with him by Our mercy, sparing them that day’s disgrace. Your Lord is Mighty, Exalted.

وَاَخَذَ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّيْحَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِيْ دِيَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِيْنَۙ

wa akhażal-lażīna ẓalamuṣ-ṣaiḥatu fa aṣbaḥū fī dārihim jāṡimīn(a).

A thunderous blast struck the unjust, leaving them lifeless in their homes.

كَاَنْ لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيْهَا ۗ اَلَآ اِنَّ ثَمُوْدَا۟ كَفَرُوْا رَبَّهُمْ ۗ اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّثَمُوْدَ ࣖ

ka allam yagnau fīhā, alā inna ṡamūda kafarū rabbahum, alā bu‘dal liṡamūd(a).

As if they never dwelt there. Thamud denied their Lord; away with Thamud.

وَلَقَدْ جَاۤءَتْ رُسُلُنَآ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ بِالْبُشْرٰى قَالُوْا سَلٰمًا ۖقَالَ سَلٰمٌ فَمَا لَبِثَ اَنْ جَاۤءَ بِعِجْلٍ حَنِيْذٍ

wa laqad jā'at rusulunā ibrāhīma bil-busyrā qālū salāmā(n), qāla salāmun famā labiṡa an jā'a bi‘ijlin ḥanīż(in).

Our messengers came to Abraham with glad tidings, saying, 'Peace.' He replied, 'Peace,' soon offering roasted calf.

فَلَمَّا رَآٰ اَيْدِيَهُمْ لَا تَصِلُ اِلَيْهِ نَكِرَهُمْ وَاَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيْفَةً ۗقَالُوْا لَا تَخَفْ اِنَّآ اُرْسِلْنَآ اِلٰى قَوْمِ لُوْطٍۗ

falammā ra'ā aidiyahum lā taṣilu ilaihi nakirahum wa aujasa minhum khīfah(tan), qālū lā takhaf innā ursilnā ilā qaumi lūṭ(in).

When they didn’t touch it, he grew wary, fearing them. They said, 'Fear not; we’re sent to Lot’s people.'

وَامْرَاَتُهٗ قَاۤىِٕمَةٌ فَضَحِكَتْ فَبَشَّرْنٰهَا بِاِسْحٰقَۙ وَمِنْ وَّرَاۤءِ اِسْحٰقَ يَعْقُوْبَ

wamra'atuhū qā'imatun fa ḍaḥikat fa basysyarnāhā bi'isḥāq(a), wa miw warā'i isḥāqa ya‘qūb(a).

His wife stood, smiling; We gave her tidings of Isaac, and after him, Jacob.

قَالَتْ يٰوَيْلَتٰىٓ ءَاَلِدُ وَاَنَا۠ عَجُوْزٌ وَّهٰذَا بَعْلِيْ شَيْخًا ۗاِنَّ هٰذَا لَشَيْءٌ عَجِيْبٌ

qālat yā wailatā a'alidu wa ana ‘ajūzuw wa hāżā ba‘lī syaikhā(n), inna hāżā lasyai'un ‘ajīb(un).

She said, 'Woe to me! Shall I bear a child, old as I am, with my aged husband? This is wondrous.'

قَالُوْٓا اَتَعْجَبِيْنَ مِنْ اَمْرِ اللّٰهِ رَحْمَتُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكٰتُهٗ عَلَيْكُمْ اَهْلَ الْبَيْتِۗ اِنَّهٗ حَمِيْدٌ مَّجِيْدٌ

qālū ata‘jabīna min amrillāhi raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh(ū), ‘alaikum ahlal-bait(i), innahū ḥamīdum majīd(un).

They said, 'Are you amazed at Allah’s decree? Allah’s mercy and blessings be upon you, household. He is Praiseworthy, Glorious.'

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنْ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ الرَّوْعُ وَجَاۤءَتْهُ الْبُشْرٰى يُجَادِلُنَا فِيْ قَوْمِ لُوْطٍ

falammā żahaba ‘an ibrāhīmar rau‘u wa jā'athul busyrā yujādilunā fī qaumi lūṭ(in).

When Abraham’s fear subsided and glad tidings reached him, he pleaded with Us for Lot’s people.

اِنَّ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ لَحَلِيْمٌ اَوَّاهٌ مُّنِيْبٌ

inna ibrāhīma laḥalīmun awwāhum munīb(un).

Abraham was forbearing, tender-hearted, oft-returning to Allah.

يٰٓاِبْرٰهِيْمُ اَعْرِضْ عَنْ هٰذَا ۚاِنَّهٗ قَدْ جَاۤءَ اَمْرُ رَبِّكَۚ وَاِنَّهُمْ اٰتِيْهِمْ عَذَابٌ غَيْرُ مَرْدُوْدٍ

yā ibrāhīmu a‘riḍ ‘an hāżā, innahū qad jā'a amru rabbik(a), wa innahum ātīhim ‘ażābun gairu mardūd(in).

O Abraham, cease this; your Lord’s decree has come. An unavoidable torment awaits them.

وَلَمَّا جَاۤءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوْطًا سِيْۤءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَّقَالَ هٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَصِيْبٌ

wa lammā jā'at rusulunā lūṭan sī'a bihim wa ḍāqa bihim żar‘aw wa qāla hāżā yaumun ‘aṣīb(un).

When Our messengers reached Lot, he was distressed, feeling powerless, saying, 'This is a grievous day.'

وَجَاۤءَهٗ قَوْمُهٗ يُهْرَعُوْنَ اِلَيْهِۗ وَمِنْ قَبْلُ كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ السَّيِّاٰتِۗ قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ بَنَاتِيْ هُنَّ اَطْهَرُ لَكُمْ فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَلَا تُخْزُوْنِ فِيْ ضَيْفِيْۗ اَلَيْسَ مِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَّشِيْدٌ

His people rushed to him, long accustomed to vile deeds. Lot said, 'My people, here are my daughters, purer for you. Fear Allah; don’t disgrace me with my guests. Is there no upright man among you?'

قَالُوْا لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا لَنَا فِيْ بَنٰتِكَ مِنْ حَقٍّۚ وَاِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ مَا نُرِيْدُ

qālū laqad ‘alimta mā lanā fī banātika min ḥaqq(in), wa innaka lata‘lamu mā nurīd(u).

They said, 'You know we desire not your daughters; you know what we want.'

قَالَ لَوْ اَنَّ لِيْ بِكُمْ قُوَّةً اَوْ اٰوِيْٓ اِلٰى رُكْنٍ شَدِيْدٍ

qāla lau anna lī bikum quwwatan au āwī ilā ruknin syadīd(in).

Lot said, 'If only I had strength to resist you or a strong refuge.'

قَالُوْا يٰلُوْطُ اِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَنْ يَّصِلُوْٓا اِلَيْكَ فَاَسْرِ بِاَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ الَّيْلِ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنْكُمْ اَحَدٌ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَكَۗ اِنَّهٗ مُصِيْبُهَا مَآ اَصَابَهُمْ ۗاِنَّ مَوْعِدَهُمُ الصُّبْحُ ۗ اَلَيْسَ الصُّبْحُ بِقَرِيْبٍ

The messengers said, 'Lot, we are your Lord’s envoys; they won’t harm you. Depart with your family at night’s end; none look back, except your wife—she’ll suffer their fate. Their doom comes at dawn; is dawn not near?'

فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ اَمْرُنَا جَعَلْنَا عَالِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَاَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهَا حِجَارَةً مِّنْ سِجِّيْلٍ مَّنْضُوْدٍ

falammā jā'a amrunā ja‘alnā ‘āliyahā sāfilahā wa amṭarnā ‘alaihā ḥijāratam min sijjīlim manḍūd(in).

When Our decree came, We overturned their city, raining upon them stones of baked clay, layer upon layer.

مُسَوَّمَةً عِنْدَ رَبِّكَۗ وَمَا هِيَ مِنَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ بِبَعِيْدٍ ࣖ

musawwamatan ‘inda rabbik(a) wa mā hiya minaẓ-ẓālimīna biba‘īd(in).

Marked by your Lord; such punishment is never far from the unjust.

۞ وَاِلٰى مَدْيَنَ اَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًا ۗقَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗ ۗوَلَا تَنْقُصُوا الْمِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيْزَانَ اِنِّيْٓ اَرٰىكُمْ بِخَيْرٍ وَّاِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ مُّحِيْطٍ

wa ilā madyana akhāhum syu‘aibā(n), qāla yā qaumi‘budullāha mā lakum min ilāhin gairuh(ū), wa lā tanquṣul-mikyāla wal-mīzāna innī arākum bikhairiw wa innī akhāfu ‘alaikum ‘ażāba yaumim muḥīṭ(in).

To Midian, We sent their brother Shu’ayb. He said, 'My people, worship Allah; you have no god but Him. Don’t cheat in measure or weight. I see you prosper; I fear for you the torment of an encompassing Day.'

وَيٰقَوْمِ اَوْفُوا الْمِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيْزَانَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ اَشْيَاۤءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِيْنَ

wa yā qaumi auful-mikyāla wal-mīzāna bil-qisṭi wa lā tabkhasun-nāsa asy-yā'ahum wa lā ta‘ṡau fil-arḍi mufsidīn(a).

My people, give full measure and weight justly; don’t deprive people of their rights or spread corruption on earth.

بَقِيَّتُ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ ەۚ وَمَآ اَنَا۠ عَلَيْكُمْ بِحَفِيْظٍ

baqiyyatullāhi khairul lakum in kuntum mu'minīn(a), wa mā ana ‘alaikum biḥafīẓ(in).

Allah’s lawful provision is better for you if you believe. I’m not your keeper.

قَالُوْا يٰشُعَيْبُ اَصَلٰوتُكَ تَأْمُرُكَ اَنْ نَّتْرُكَ مَا يَعْبُدُ اٰبَاۤؤُنَآ اَوْ اَنْ نَّفْعَلَ فِيْٓ اَمْوَالِنَا مَا نَشٰۤؤُا ۗاِنَّكَ لَاَنْتَ الْحَلِيْمُ الرَّشِيْدُ

qālū yā syu‘aibu aṣalātuka ta'muruka an natruka mā ya‘budu ābā'unā au an naf‘ala fī amwālinā mā nasyā'(u), innaka la'antal-ḥalīmur-rasyīd(u).

They said, 'Shu’ayb, does your faith bid us abandon our ancestors’ worship or control our wealth as we wish? You’re gentle, wise.'

قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّيْ وَرَزَقَنِيْ مِنْهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًا وَّمَآ اُرِيْدُ اَنْ اُخَالِفَكُمْ اِلٰى مَآ اَنْهٰىكُمْ عَنْهُ ۗاِنْ اُرِيْدُ اِلَّا الْاِصْلَاحَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُۗ وَمَا تَوْفِيْقِيْٓ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ ۗعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَاِلَيْهِ اُنِيْبُ

qāla yā qaumi ara'aitum in kuntu ‘alā bayyinatim mir rabbī wa razaqanī minhu rizqan ḥasanaw wa mā urīdu an ukhālifakum ila mā anhākum ‘anh(u), in urīdu illal-iṣlāḥa mastaṭa‘t(u), wa mā taufīqī illā billāh(i), ‘alaihi tawakkaltu wa ilaihi unīb(u).

Shu’ayb said, 'My people, if I have clear proof from my Lord and His good provision, should I defy Him? I don’t oppose what I forbid you; I seek reform as I can. My guidance is from Allah; to Him I trust and return.'

وَيٰقَوْمِ لَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شِقَاقِيْٓ اَنْ يُّصِيْبَكُمْ مِّثْلُ مَآ اَصَابَ قَوْمَ نُوْحٍ اَوْ قَوْمَ هُوْدٍ اَوْ قَوْمَ صٰلِحٍ ۗوَمَا قَوْمُ لُوْطٍ مِّنْكُمْ بِبَعِيْدٍ

wa yā qaumi lā yajrimannakum syiqāqī ay yuṣībakum miṡlu mā aṣāba qauma nūḥin au qauma hūdin au qauma ṣāliḥ(in), wa mā qaumu lūṭim minkum biba‘īd(in).

My people, let not our dispute lead you to sin, lest you suffer like Noah’s, Hud’s, or Saleh’s people. Lot’s people are not far from you.

وَاسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْٓا اِلَيْهِ ۗاِنَّ رَبِّيْ رَحِيْمٌ وَّدُوْدٌ

wastagfirū rabbakum ṡumma tūbū ilaih(i), inna rabbī raḥīmuw wadūd(un).

Seek your Lord’s forgiveness, repent to Him; my Lord is Merciful, Loving.

قَالُوْا يٰشُعَيْبُ مَا نَفْقَهُ كَثِيْرًا مِّمَّا تَقُوْلُ وَاِنَّا لَنَرٰىكَ فِيْنَا ضَعِيْفًا ۗوَلَوْلَا رَهْطُكَ لَرَجَمْنٰكَ ۖوَمَآ اَنْتَ عَلَيْنَا بِعَزِيْزٍ

qālū yā syu‘aibu mā nafqahu kaṡīram mimmā taqūlu wa innā lanarāka fīnā ḍa‘īfā(n), wa lau lā rahṭuka larajamnāk(a), wa anta ‘alainā bi‘azīz(in).

They said, 'Shu’ayb, we grasp little of your words; we see you weak among us. Without your clan, we’d stone you; you hold no sway.'

قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَرَهْطِيْٓ اَعَزُّ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ۗوَاتَّخَذْتُمُوْهُ وَرَاۤءَكُمْ ظِهْرِيًّا ۗاِنَّ رَبِّيْ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ مُحِيْطٌ

qāla yā qaumi arahṭī a‘azzu ‘alaikum minallāh(i), wattakhażtumūhu warā'akum ẓihriyyā(n), inna rabbī bimā ta‘malūna muḥīṭ(un).

Shu’ayb said, 'My people, is my clan dearer to you than Allah, whom you cast behind? My Lord encompasses your deeds.'

وَيٰقَوْمِ اعْمَلُوْا عَلٰى مَكَانَتِكُمْ اِنِّيْ عَامِلٌ ۗسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَۙ مَنْ يَّأْتِيْهِ عَذَابٌ يُّخْزِيْهِ وَمَنْ هُوَ كَاذِبٌۗ وَارْتَقِبُوْٓا اِنِّيْ مَعَكُمْ رَقِيْبٌ

wa yā qaumi‘malū ‘alā makānatikum innī ‘āmil(un), saufa ta‘lamūn(a), may ya'tīhi ‘ażābuy yukhzīhi wa man huwa kāżib(un), wartaqibū innī ma‘akum raqīb(un).

My people, act as you will; I’ll act too. You’ll know who faces humiliating torment and who lies. Watch; I watch with you.

وَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا شُعَيْبًا وَّالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّاۚ وَاَخَذَتِ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّيْحَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِيْ دِيَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِيْنَۙ

wa lammā jā'a amrunā najjainā syu‘aibaw wal-lażīna amanū ma‘ahū biraḥmatim minnā, wa akhażatil-lażīna ẓalamuṣ-ṣaiḥatu fa aṣbaḥū fī diyārihim jāṡimīn(a).

When Our decree came, We saved Shu’ayb and believers with him by Our mercy. A blast seized the unjust, leaving them lifeless in their homes.

كَاَنْ لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيْهَا ۗ اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّمَدْيَنَ كَمَا بَعِدَتْ ثَمُوْدُ ࣖ

ka allam yagnau fīhā, alā bu‘dal limadyana kamā ba‘idat ṡamūd(u).

As if they never dwelt there. Away with Midian, as Thamud perished.

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مُوْسٰى بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِيْنٍۙ

wa laqad arsalnā mūsā bi'āyātinā wa sulṭānim mubīn(in).

We sent Moses with Our signs and clear authority.

اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَا۟ىِٕهٖ فَاتَّبَعُوْٓا اَمْرَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚوَمَآ اَمْرُ فِرْعَوْنَ بِرَشِيْدٍ

ilā fir‘auna wa mala'ihī fattaba‘ū amra fir‘aun(a), wa mā amru fir‘auna birasyīd(in).

To Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they followed Pharaoh’s command, which was not right.

يَقْدُمُ قَوْمَهٗ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ فَاَوْرَدَهُمُ النَّارَ ۗوَبِئْسَ الْوِرْدُ الْمَوْرُوْدُ

yaqdumu qaumahū yaumal-qiyāmati fa auradahumun-nār(a), wa bi'sal-wirdul-maurūd(u).

Pharaoh will lead his people on Judgment Day, guiding them to Fire—a wretched destination.

وَاُتْبِعُوْا فِيْ هٰذِهٖ لَعْنَةً وَّيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۗ بِئْسَ الرِّفْدُ الْمَرْفُوْدُ

wa utbi‘ū fī hāżihī la‘nataw wa yaumal-qiyāmah(ti), bi'sar-rifdul-marfūd(u).

They were cursed in this world and on Judgment Day—a vile gift.

ذٰلِكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَاۤءِ الْقُرٰى نَقُصُّهٗ عَلَيْكَ مِنْهَا قَاۤىِٕمٌ وَّحَصِيْدٌ

Żālika min ambā'il-qurā naquṣṣuhū ‘alaika minhā qā'imuw wa ḥaṣīd(un).

These are tales of past cities We recount to you, Muhammad; some remain, others are erased.

وَمَا ظَلَمْنٰهُمْ وَلٰكِنْ ظَلَمُوْٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ فَمَآ اَغْنَتْ عَنْهُمْ اٰلِهَتُهُمُ الَّتِيْ يَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ لَّمَّا جَاۤءَ اَمْرُ رَبِّكَۗ وَمَا زَادُوْهُمْ غَيْرَ تَتْبِيْبٍ

wa mā ẓalamnāhum wa lākin ẓalamū anfusahum famā agnat ‘anhum ālihatuhumul-latī yad‘ūna min dūnillāhi min syai'il lammā jā'a amru rabbik(a), wa mā zādūhum gaira tatbīb(in).

We wronged them not; they wronged themselves. Their gods, besides Allah, availed nothing when your Lord’s decree came, only adding to their ruin.

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَخْذُ رَبِّكَ اِذَآ اَخَذَ الْقُرٰى وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ ۗاِنَّ اَخْذَهٗٓ اَلِيْمٌ شَدِيْدٌ

wa każālika akhżu rabbika iżā akhażal-qurā wa hiya ẓālimah(tun), inna akhżahū alīmun syadīd(un).

Such is your Lord’s punishment when He seizes unjust cities; His punishment is painful, severe.

اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّمَنْ خَافَ عَذَابَ الْاٰخِرَةِ ۗذٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّجْمُوْعٌۙ لَّهُ النَّاسُ وَذٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّشْهُوْدٌ

inna fī żālika la'āyatal liman khāfa ‘ażābal-ākhirah(ti), żālika yaumum majmū‘(un), lahun-nāsu wa żālika yaumum masyhūd(un).

Herein lies a sign for those fearing the Hereafter’s torment, a Day when mankind gathers, witnessed by all.

وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهٗٓ اِلَّا لِاَجَلٍ مَّعْدُوْدٍۗ

wa mā nu'akhkhiruhū illā li'ajalim ma‘dūd(in).

We delay it only for a fixed term.

يَوْمَ يَأْتِ لَا تَكَلَّمُ نَفْسٌ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِهٖۚ فَمِنْهُمْ شَقِيٌّ وَّسَعِيْدٌ

yauma ya'ti lā takallamu nafsun illā bi'iżnih(ī), fa minhum syaqiyyuw wa sa‘īd(un).

When that Day comes, none speak except by His leave; some are wretched, others blessed.

فَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ شَقُوْا فَفِى النَّارِ لَهُمْ فِيْهَا زَفِيْرٌ وَّشَهِيْقٌۙ

fa ammal-lażīna syaqū fa fin-nāri lahum fīhā zafīruw wa syahīq(un).

The wretched dwell in Fire, groaning and gasping.

خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالْاَرْضُ اِلَّا مَا شَاۤءَ رَبُّكَۗ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيْدُ

khālidīna fīhā mā dāmatis-samāwātu wal-arḍu illā mā syā'a rabbuk(a), inna rabbaka fa‘‘ālul limā yurīd(u).

They abide there while heavens and earth endure, unless your Lord wills otherwise. Your Lord fulfills His will.

۞ وَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ سُعِدُوْا فَفِى الْجَنَّةِ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالْاَرْضُ اِلَّا مَا شَاۤءَ رَبُّكَۗ عَطَاۤءً غَيْرَ مَجْذُوْذٍ

wa ammal-lażīna su‘idū fa fil-jannati khālidīna fīhā mā dāmatis-samāwātu wal-arḍu illā mā syā'a rabbuk(a), ‘aṭā'an gaira majżūż(in).

The blessed dwell in Paradise, abiding while heavens and earth endure, unless your Lord wills—a ceaseless gift.

فَلَا تَكُ فِيْ مِرْيَةٍ مِّمَّا يَعْبُدُ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ ۗمَا يَعْبُدُوْنَ اِلَّا كَمَا يَعْبُدُ اٰبَاۤؤُهُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُ ۗوَاِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوْهُمْ نَصِيْبَهُمْ غَيْرَ مَنْقُوْصٍ ࣖ

falā taku fī miryatim mimmā ya‘budu hā'ulā'(i), mā ya‘budūna illā kamā ya‘budu ābā'uhum min qabl(u), wa innā lamuwaffūhum naṣībahum gaira manqūṣ(in).

Doubt not what they worship, as their ancestors did. We’ll repay them fully, undiminished.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فِيْهِ ۗوَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۗوَاِنَّهُمْ لَفِيْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيْبٍ

wa laqad ātainā mūsal-kitāba fakhtulifa fīh(i), wa lau lā kalimatun sabaqat mir rabbika laquḍiya bainahum, wa innahum lafī syakkim minhu murīb(in).

We gave Moses the Book, but it was disputed. Without your Lord’s prior decree, their judgment would’ve come. They remain in doubt, wavering.

وَاِنَّ كُلًّا لَّمَّا لَيُوَفِّيَنَّهُمْ رَبُّكَ اَعْمَالَهُمْ ۗاِنَّهٗ بِمَا يَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِيْرٌ

wa inna kullan lammā layuwaffiyannahum rabbuka a‘mālahum, innahū bimā ya‘malūna khabīr(un).

Your Lord will repay each for their deeds; He is All-Aware of their actions.

فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَآ اُمِرْتَ وَمَنْ تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلَا تَطْغَوْاۗ اِنَّهٗ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِيْرٌ

fastaqim kamā umirta wa man tāba ma‘aka wa lā taṭgau, innahū bimā ta‘malūna baṣīr(un).

Stand firm, Muhammad, as commanded, with those repenting alongside you; transgress not. He sees your deeds.

وَلَا تَرْكَنُوْٓا اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُۙ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْصَرُوْنَ

wa lā tarkanū ilal-lażīna ẓalamū fa tamassakumun-nār(u), wa mā lakum min dūnillāhi min auliyā'a ṡumma lā tunṣarūn(a).

Lean not toward the unjust, lest Fire touches you, with no protectors but Allah, and you’re unhelped.

وَاَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِّنَ الَّيْلِ ۗاِنَّ الْحَسَنٰتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّاٰتِۗ ذٰلِكَ ذِكْرٰى لِلذّٰكِرِيْنَ

wa aqimiṣ-ṣalāta ṭarafayin-nahāri wa zulafam minal-lail(i), innal-ḥasanāti yużhibnas-sayyi'āt(i), żālika żikrā liż-żākirīn(a).

Perform prayer at day’s ends and early night; good deeds erase sins. This is a reminder for the mindful.

وَاصْبِرْ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُضِيْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ

waṣbir fa innallāha lā yaḍī‘u ajral-muḥsinīn(a).

Be patient; Allah wastes not the reward of the righteous.

فَلَوْلَا كَانَ مِنَ الْقُرُوْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ اُولُوْا بَقِيَّةٍ يَّنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْفَسَادِ فِى الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا مِّمَّنْ اَنْجَيْنَا مِنْهُمْ ۚوَاتَّبَعَ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مَآ اُتْرِفُوْا فِيْهِ وَكَانُوْا مُجْرِمِيْنَ

fa lau lā kāna minal-qurūni min qablikum ulū baqiyyatiy yanhauna ‘anil-fasādi fil-arḍi illā qalīlam mimman anjainā minhum, wattaba‘al-lażīna ẓalamū mā utrifū fīhi wa kānū mujrimīn(a).

Why, among past generations, were few virtuous ones preventing corruption, save those We saved? The unjust chased luxury, becoming sinners.

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهْلِكَ الْقُرٰى بِظُلْمٍ وَّاَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُوْنَ

wa mā kāna rabbuka liyuhlikal-qurā biẓulmiw wa ahluhā muṣliḥūn(a).

Your Lord destroys no cities unjustly while their people do good.

وَلَوْ شَاۤءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ النَّاسَ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً وَّلَا يَزَالُوْنَ مُخْتَلِفِيْنَۙ

wa lau syā'a rabbuka laja‘alan-nāsa ummataw wāḥidataw wa lā yazālūna mukhtalifīn(a).

Had your Lord willed, He’d make mankind one nation, but they differ.

اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَ ۗوَلِذٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمْ ۗوَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَاَمْلَـَٔنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ اَجْمَعِيْنَ

illā mar raḥima rabbuk(a), wa liżālika khalaqahum, wa tammat kalimatu rabbika la'amla'anna jahannama minal-jinnati wan-nāsi ajma‘īn(a).

Except those your Lord mercies; for this He created them. Your Lord’s word stands: 'I’ll fill Hell with jinn and men together.'

وَكُلًّا نَّقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَاۤءِ الرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهٖ فُؤَادَكَ وَجَاۤءَكَ فِيْ هٰذِهِ الْحَقُّ وَمَوْعِظَةٌ وَّذِكْرٰى لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

wa kullan naquṣṣu ‘alaika min ambā'ir-rusuli mā nuṡabbitu bihī fu'ādaka wa jā'aka fī hāżihil-ḥaqqu wa mau‘iẓatuw wa żikrā lil-mu'minīn(a).

We narrate messengers’ stories to strengthen your heart, Muhammad, bringing truth, counsel, and reminder for believers.

وَقُلْ لِّلَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ اعْمَلُوْا عَلٰى مَكَانَتِكُمْۗ اِنَّا عٰمِلُوْنَۙ

wa qul lil-lażīna lā yu'minūna‘malū ‘alā makānatikum, innā ‘āmilūn(a).

Say to disbelievers, 'Act as you will; we’ll act too.'

وَانْتَظِرُوْاۚ اِنَّا مُنْتَظِرُوْنَ

wantaẓirū innā muntaẓirūn(a).

Wait; we wait with you.

وَلِلّٰهِ غَيْبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَاِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُ الْاَمْرُ كُلُّهٗ فَاعْبُدْهُ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَيْهِۗ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ࣖ

wa lillāhi gaibus-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa ilaihi yurja‘ul-amru kulluhū fa‘budhu wa tawakkal ‘alaih(i), wa mā rabbuka bigāfilin ‘ammā ta‘malūn(a).

Allah owns the secrets of heavens and earth; all affairs return to Him. Worship Him, trust in Him; your Lord is never heedless of your deeds.
