Q.S Saba (سَبَأ) - 54 Number of Verses

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ لَهٗ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِۗ وَهُوَ الْحَكِيْمُ الْخَبِيْرُ

al-ḥamdu lillāhil-lażī lahū mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍi wa lahul-ḥamdu fil-ākhirah(ti), wa huwal-ḥakīmul-khabīr(u).

All praise belongs to Allah, who owns all in the heavens and earth, and all praise in the Hereafter is His. He is All-Wise, All-Aware.

يَعْلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَمَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيْهَاۗ وَهُوَ الرَّحِيْمُ الْغَفُوْرُ

ya‘lamu mā yaliju fil-arḍi wa mā yakhruju minhā wa mā yanzilu minas-samā'i wa mā ya‘ruju fīhā, wa huwar-raḥīmul-gafūr(u).

He knows what enters the earth, what emerges from it, what descends from the sky, and what ascends to it. He is Most Merciful, Most Forgiving.

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَا تَأْتِيْنَا السَّاعَةُ ۗقُلْ بَلٰى وَرَبِّيْ لَتَأْتِيَنَّكُمْۙ عٰلِمِ الْغَيْبِۙ لَا يَعْزُبُ عَنْهُ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَلَا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَلَآ اَصْغَرُ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ وَلَآ اَكْبَرُ اِلَّا فِيْ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِيْنٍۙ

wa qālal-lażīna kafarū lā ta'tīnas-sā‘ah(tu), qul balā wa rabbī lata'tiyannakum, ‘ālimul-gaib(i), lā ya‘zubu ‘anhu miṡqālu żarratin fis-samāwāti wa lā fil-arḍi wa lā aṣgaru min żālika wa lā akbaru illā fī kitābim mubīn(in).

Disbelievers say, The Hour will not come to us. Say, By my Lord, Knower of the unseen, it will surely come to you. Nothing, not even an atom’s weight in heavens or earth, nor smaller or larger, escapes Him, all recorded in a clear Book.

لِّيَجْزِيَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّرِزْقٌ كَرِيْمٌ

liyajziyal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāt(i), ulā'ika lahum magfiratuw wa rizqun karīm(un).

So Allah may reward those who believe and do good deeds with forgiveness and noble provision.

وَالَّذِيْنَ سَعَوْ فِيْٓ اٰيٰتِنَا مُعٰجِزِيْنَ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مِّنْ رِّجْزٍ اَلِيْمٌ

wal-lażīna sa‘au fī āyātinā mu‘ājizīna ulā'ika lahum ‘ażābum mir rijzin alīm(un).

Those who strive against Our signs, thinking they can thwart Our punishment, will face a grievous torment.

وَيَرَى الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ الَّذِيْٓ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ هُوَ الْحَقَّۙ وَيَهْدِيْٓ اِلٰى صِرَاطِ الْعَزِيْزِ الْحَمِيْدِ

wa yaral-lażīna ūtul-‘ilmal-lażī unzila ilaika mir rabbika huwal-ḥaqq(a), wa yahdī ilā ṣirāṭil-‘azīzil-ḥamīd(i).

Those given knowledge see that what your Lord revealed to you is truth, guiding to the path of the Mighty, the Praiseworthy.

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا هَلْ نَدُلُّكُمْ عَلٰى رَجُلٍ يُّنَبِّئُكُمْ اِذَا مُزِّقْتُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍۙ اِنَّكُمْ لَفِيْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيْدٍۚ

wa qālal-lażīna kafarū hal nadullukum ‘alā rajuliy yunabbi'ukum iżā muzziqtum kulla mumazzaq(in), innakum lafī khalqin jadīd(in).

Disbelievers say, Shall we show you a man who claims that when you are torn to pieces, you will be recreated anew?

اَفْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا اَمْ بِهٖ جِنَّةٌ ۗبَلِ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ فِى الْعَذَابِ وَالضَّلٰلِ الْبَعِيْدِ

aftarā ‘alallāhi każiban am bihī jinnah(tun), balil-lażīna lā yu'minūna bil-ākhirati fil-‘ażābi waḍ-ḍalālil-ba‘īd(i).

Does he invent lies against Allah or is he mad? No, those who deny the Hereafter are in torment and deep error.

اَفَلَمْ يَرَوْا اِلٰى مَا بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ اِنْ نَّشَأْ نَخْسِفْ بِهِمُ الْاَرْضَ اَوْ نُسْقِطْ عَلَيْهِمْ كِسَفًا مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُّنِيْبٍ ࣖ

afalam yarau ilā mā baina aidīhim wa mā khalfahum minas-samā'i wal-arḍ(i), in nasya' nakhsif bihimul-arḍa au nusqiṭ ‘alaihim kisafam minas-samā'(i), inna fī żālika la'āyatal likulli ‘abdim munīb(in).

Do they not see the heavens and earth before and behind them? If We will, We could swallow them into the earth or drop fragments from the sky. This is a sign for every servant who turns to Allah.

۞ وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا دَاوٗدَ مِنَّا فَضْلًاۗ يٰجِبَالُ اَوِّبِيْ مَعَهٗ وَالطَّيْرَ ۚوَاَلَنَّا لَهُ الْحَدِيْدَۙ

wa laqad ātainā dāwūda minnā faḍlā(n), yā jibālu awwibī ma‘ahū waṭ-ṭair(a), wa alannā lahul-ḥadīd(a).

We granted David a favor from Us, saying, O mountains and birds, echo praises with him. We softened iron for him.

اَنِ اعْمَلْ سٰبِغٰتٍ وَّقَدِّرْ فِى السَّرْدِ وَاعْمَلُوْا صَالِحًاۗ اِنِّيْ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِيْرٌ

ani‘mal sābigātiw wa qaddir fis-sardi wa‘malū ṣāliḥā(n), innī bimā ta‘malūna baṣīr(un).

Make large coats of mail, measuring their links, and do righteous deeds. I see all you do.

وَلِسُلَيْمٰنَ الرِّيْحَ غُدُوُّهَا شَهْرٌ وَّرَوَاحُهَا شَهْرٌۚ وَاَسَلْنَا لَهٗ عَيْنَ الْقِطْرِۗ وَمِنَ الْجِنِّ مَنْ يَّعْمَلُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ بِاِذْنِ رَبِّهٖۗ وَمَنْ يَّزِغْ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ اَمْرِنَا نُذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ السَّعِيْرِ

wa lisulaimānar-rīḥa guduwwuhā syahruw wa rawāḥuhā syahr(un), wa asalnā lahū ‘ainal-qiṭr(i), wa minal-jinni may ya‘malu baina yadaihi bi'iżni rabbih(ī), wa may yazig minhum ‘an amrinā nużiqhu min ‘ażābis-sa‘īr(i).

For Solomon, We made the wind serve him, its morning journey a month’s travel, its evening journey a month’s travel. We made molten copper flow for him. Some jinn worked under him by his Lord’s leave, and whoever among them defied Our command tasted the blazing fire’s torment.

يَعْمَلُوْنَ لَهٗ مَا يَشَاۤءُ مِنْ مَّحَارِيْبَ وَتَمَاثِيْلَ وَجِفَانٍ كَالْجَوَابِ وَقُدُوْرٍ رّٰسِيٰتٍۗ اِعْمَلُوْٓا اٰلَ دَاوٗدَ شُكْرًا ۗوَقَلِيْلٌ مِّنْ عِبَادِيَ الشَّكُوْرُ

ya‘malūna lahū mā yasyā'u mim maḥārība wa tamāṡīla wa jifānin kal-jawābi wa qudūrir-rāsiyāt(in), i‘malū āla dāwūda syukrā(n), wa qalīlum min ‘ibādiyasy-syakūr(u).

They made for Solomon what he desired: lofty buildings, statues, basins like reservoirs, and fixed cauldrons. Work, O family of David, in gratitude. Few of My servants are truly grateful.

فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَوْتَ مَا دَلَّهُمْ عَلٰى مَوْتِهٖٓ اِلَّا دَاۤبَّةُ الْاَرْضِ تَأْكُلُ مِنْسَاَتَهٗ ۚفَلَمَّا خَرَّ تَبَيَّنَتِ الْجِنُّ اَنْ لَّوْ كَانُوْا يَعْلَمُوْنَ الْغَيْبَ مَا لَبِثُوْا فِى الْعَذَابِ الْمُهِيْنِۗ

falammā qaḍainā ‘alaihil-mauta mā dallahum ‘alā mautihī illā dābbatul-arḍi ta'kulu minsa'atah(ū), falammā kharra tabayyanatil-jinnu allau kānū ya‘lamūnal-gaiba mā labiṡū fil-‘ażābil-muhīn(i).

When We decreed Solomon’s death, only a termite eating his staff revealed it. When he fell, the jinn realized that, had they known the unseen, they would not have remained in humiliating torment.

لَقَدْ كَانَ لِسَبَاٍ فِيْ مَسْكَنِهِمْ اٰيَةٌ ۚجَنَّتٰنِ عَنْ يَّمِيْنٍ وَّشِمَالٍ ەۗ كُلُوْا مِنْ رِّزْقِ رَبِّكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوْا لَهٗ ۗبَلْدَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ وَّرَبٌّ غَفُوْرٌ

laqad kāna lisaba'in fī maskanihim āyah(tun), jannatāni ‘ay yamīniw wa syimāl(in), kulū mir rizqi rabbikum wasykurū lah(ū), baldatun ṭayyibatuw wa rabbun gafūr(un).

For the people of Sheba was a sign in their homeland: two gardens, one on the right, one on the left. Eat of your Lord’s provision and be grateful to Him. Yours is a good land, and your Lord is Most Forgiving.

فَاَعْرَضُوْا فَاَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَيْلَ الْعَرِمِ وَبَدَّلْنٰهُمْ بِجَنَّتَيْهِمْ جَنَّتَيْنِ ذَوَاتَيْ اُكُلٍ خَمْطٍ وَّاَثْلٍ وَّشَيْءٍ مِّنْ سِدْرٍ قَلِيْلٍ

fa a‘raḍū fa arsalnā ‘alaihim sailal-‘arimi wa baddalnāhum bijannataihim jannataini żawātai ukulin khamṭiw wa aṡliw wa syai'im min sidrin qalīl(in).

But they turned away, so We sent a mighty flood against them, replacing their gardens with ones bearing bitter fruit, tamarisk, and sparse lote trees.

ذٰلِكَ جَزَيْنٰهُمْ بِمَا كَفَرُوْاۗ وَهَلْ نُجٰزِيْٓ اِلَّا الْكَفُوْرَ

Żālika jazaināhum bimā kafarū, wa hal nujāzī illal-kafūr(a).

Thus We punished them for their disbelief. We only punish those who are utterly ungrateful.

وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْقُرَى الَّتِيْ بٰرَكْنَا فِيْهَا قُرًى ظَاهِرَةً وَّقَدَّرْنَا فِيْهَا السَّيْرَۗ سِيْرُوْا فِيْهَا لَيَالِيَ وَاَيَّامًا اٰمِنِيْنَ

wa ja‘alnā bainahum wa bainal-qural-latī bāraknā fīhā quran ẓāhirataw wa qaddarnā fihas-sair(a), sīrū fīhā layāliya wa ayyāman āminīn(a).

Between them and the blessed towns, We placed visible settlements, setting measured stages for travel. Journey through them safely by night and day.

فَقَالُوْا رَبَّنَا بٰعِدْ بَيْنَ اَسْفَارِنَا وَظَلَمُوْٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ فَجَعَلْنٰهُمْ اَحَادِيْثَ وَمَزَّقْنٰهُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُوْرٍ

fa qālū rabbanā bā‘id baina asfārinā wa ẓalamū anfusahum fa ja‘alnāhum aḥādīṡa wa mazzaqnāhum kulla mumazzaq(in), inna fī żālika la'āyātil likulli ṣabbārin syakūr(in).

But they said, Our Lord, lengthen the distances of our journeys, wronging themselves. We made them tales and scattered them utterly. In this are signs for every patient, grateful soul.

وَلَقَدْ صَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِمْ اِبْلِيْسُ ظَنَّهٗ فَاتَّبَعُوْهُ اِلَّا فَرِيْقًا مِّنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

wa laqad ṣaddaqa ‘alaihim iblīsu ẓannahū fattaba‘ūhu illā farīqam minal-mu'minīn(a).

Satan proved true his assumption about them, and they followed him, except a group of believers.

وَمَا كَانَ لَهٗ عَلَيْهِمْ مِّنْ سُلْطَانٍ اِلَّا لِنَعْلَمَ مَنْ يُّؤْمِنُ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ مِمَّنْ هُوَ مِنْهَا فِيْ شَكٍّ ۗوَرَبُّكَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَفِيْظٌ ࣖ

wa mā kāna lahū ‘alaihim min sulṭānin illā lina‘lama may yu'minu bil-ākhirati mimman huwa minhā fī syakk(in), wa rabbuka ‘alā kulli syai'in ḥafīẓ(un).

He had no power over them, only to distinguish those who believe in the Hereafter from those who doubt it. Your Lord watches over all things.

قُلِ ادْعُوا الَّذِيْنَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِۚ لَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَلَا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَمَا لَهُمْ فِيْهِمَا مِنْ شِرْكٍ وَّمَا لَهٗ مِنْهُمْ مِّنْ ظَهِيْرٍ

qulid‘ul-lażīna za‘amtum min dūnillāh(i), lā yamlikūna miṡqāla żarratin fis-samāwāti wa lā fil-arḍi wa mā lahum fīhimā min syirkiw wa mā lahū minhum min ẓahīr(in).

Say, Call upon those you claim as gods besides Allah. They hold not an atom’s weight in the heavens or earth, have no share in them, nor are any their helpers.

وَلَا تَنْفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ عِنْدَهٗٓ اِلَّا لِمَنْ اَذِنَ لَهٗ ۗحَتّٰىٓ اِذَا فُزِّعَ عَنْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ قَالُوْا مَاذَاۙ قَالَ رَبُّكُمْۗ قَالُوا الْحَقَّۚ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْكَبِيْرُ

wa lā tanfa‘usy-syafā‘atu ‘indahū illā liman ażina lah(ū), ḥattā iżā fuzzi‘a ‘an qulūbihim qālū māżā, qāla rabbukum, qālul-ḥaqq(a), wa huwal-‘aliyyul-kabīr(u).

Intercession with Him benefits only those He permits. When fear leaves their hearts, they ask, What did your Lord say? They reply, The truth. He is Most High, Most Great.

۞ قُلْ مَنْ يَّرْزُقُكُمْ مِّنَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ قُلِ اللّٰهُ ۙوَاِنَّآ اَوْ اِيَّاكُمْ لَعَلٰى هُدًى اَوْ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ

qul may yarzuqukum minas-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), qulillāh(u), wa innā au iyyākum la‘alā hudan au fī ḍalālim mubīn(in).

Say, Who provides for you from the heavens and earth? Say, Allah. Either we or you are rightly guided or in clear error.

قُلْ لَّا تُسْـَٔلُوْنَ عَمَّآ اَجْرَمْنَا وَلَا نُسْـَٔلُ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ

qul lā tus'alūna ‘ammā ajramnā wa lā nus'alu ‘ammā ta‘malūn(a).

Say, You will not be questioned for our deeds, nor we for yours.

قُلْ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَنَا رَبُّنَا ثُمَّ يَفْتَحُ بَيْنَنَا بِالْحَقِّۗ وَهُوَ الْفَتَّاحُ الْعَلِيْمُ

qul yajma‘u bainanā rabbunā ṡumma yaftaḥu bainanā bil-ḥaqq(i), wa huwal-fattāḥul-‘alīm(u).

Say, Our Lord will gather us and judge between us with truth. He is the Just Decider, All-Knowing.

قُلْ اَرُوْنِيَ الَّذِيْنَ اَلْحَقْتُمْ بِهٖ شُرَكَاۤءَ كَلَّا ۗبَلْ هُوَ اللّٰهُ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ

qul arūniyal-lażīna alḥaqtum bihī syurakā'a kallā, bal huwallāhul-‘azīzul-ḥakīm(u).

Say, Show me those you joined with Him as partners. No, He alone is Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.

وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ اِلَّا كَاۤفَّةً لِّلنَّاسِ بَشِيْرًا وَّنَذِيْرًا وَّلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

wa mā arsalnāka illā kāffatal lin-nāsi basyīraw wa nażīraw wa lākinna akṡaran-nāsi lā ya‘lamūn(a).

We sent you to all mankind as a bearer of good news and a warner, but most people do not know.

وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ

wa yaqūlūna matā hāżal-wa‘du in kuntum ṣādiqīn(a).

They say, When will this promise come if you are truthful?

قُلْ لَّكُمْ مِّيْعَادُ يَوْمٍ لَّا تَسْتَأْخِرُوْنَ عَنْهُ سَاعَةً وَّلَا تَسْتَقْدِمُوْنَ ࣖ

qul lakum mī‘ādu yaumil lā tasta'khirūna ‘anhu sā‘ataw wa lā tastaqdimūn(a).

Say, For you is an appointed Day; you cannot delay or hasten it by a moment.

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَنْ نُّؤْمِنَ بِهٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ وَلَا بِالَّذِيْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِۗ وَلَوْ تَرٰىٓ اِذِ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ مَوْقُوْفُوْنَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْۖ يَرْجِعُ بَعْضُهُمْ اِلٰى بَعْضِ ِۨالْقَوْلَۚ يَقُوْلُ الَّذِيْنَ اسْتُضْعِفُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْا لَوْلَآ اَنْتُمْ لَكُنَّا مُؤْمِنِيْنَ

wa qālal-lażīna kafarū lan nu'mina bihāżal-qur'āni wa lā bil-lażī baina yadaih(i), wa lau tarā iżiẓ-ẓālimūna mauqūfūna ‘inda rabbihim, yarji‘u ba‘ḍuhum ilā ba‘ḍinil-qaul(a), yaqūlul-lażīnastuḍ‘ifū lil-lażīnastakbarū lau lā antum lakunnā mu'minīn(a).

Disbelievers say, We will not believe in this Qur’an or what came before it. If only you could see the wrongdoers before their Lord, blaming each other. The weak say to the arrogant, Without you, we would have been believers.

قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ اسْتُضْعِفُوْٓا اَنَحْنُ صَدَدْنٰكُمْ عَنِ الْهُدٰى بَعْدَ اِذْ جَاۤءَكُمْ بَلْ كُنْتُمْ مُّجْرِمِيْنَ

qālal-lażīnastakbarū lil-lażīnastuḍ‘ifū anaḥnu ṣadadnākum ‘anil-hudā ba‘da iż jā'akum bal kuntum mujrimīn(a).

The arrogant say to the weak, Did we block you from guidance after it came? No, you were the guilty ones.

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ اسْتُضْعِفُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْا بَلْ مَكْرُ الَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ اِذْ تَأْمُرُوْنَنَآ اَنْ نَّكْفُرَ بِاللّٰهِ وَنَجْعَلَ لَهٗٓ اَنْدَادًا ۗوَاَسَرُّوا النَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَاَوُا الْعَذَابَۗ وَجَعَلْنَا الْاَغْلٰلَ فِيْٓ اَعْنَاقِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْاۗ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ اِلَّا مَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ

wa qālal-lażīnastuḍ‘ifū lil-lażīnastakbarū bal makrul-laili wan-nahāri iż ta'murūnanā an nakfura billāhi wa naj‘ala lahū andādā(n), wa asarrun-nadāmata lammā ra'awul-‘ażāb(a), wa ja‘alnal-aglāla fī a‘nāqil-lażīna kafarū, hal yujzauna illā mā kānū ya‘malūn(a).

The weak say to the arrogant, No, it was your scheming day and night, urging us to disbelieve in Allah and set up equals to Him. They hide their regret when they see the punishment. We place shackles on the disbelievers’ necks. They are only repaid for what they did.

وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنَا فِيْ قَرْيَةٍ مِّنْ نَّذِيْرٍ اِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوْهَآ ۙاِنَّا بِمَآ اُرْسِلْتُمْ بِهٖ كٰفِرُوْنَ

wa mā arsalnā min qaryatim min nażīrin illā qāla mutrafūhā, innā bimā ursiltum bihī kāfirūn(a).

Whenever We sent a warner to a city, its affluent said, We reject what you bring.

وَقَالُوْا نَحْنُ اَكْثَرُ اَمْوَالًا وَّاَوْلَادًاۙ وَّمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِيْنَ

wa qālū naḥnu akṡaru amwālaw wa aulādā(n), wa mā naḥnu bimu‘ażżabīn(a).

They say, We have more wealth and children, so we will not be punished.

قُلْ اِنَّ رَبِّيْ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَقْدِرُ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ࣖ

qul inna rabbī yabsuṭur-rizqa limay yasyā'u wa yaqdiru wa lākinna akṡaran-nāsi lā ya‘lamūn(a).

Say, My Lord expands or restricts provision for whom He wills, but most people do not know.

وَمَآ اَمْوَالُكُمْ وَلَآ اَوْلَادُكُمْ بِالَّتِيْ تُقَرِّبُكُمْ عِنْدَنَا زُلْفٰىٓ اِلَّا مَنْ اٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًاۙ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ جَزَاۤءُ الضِّعْفِ بِمَا عَمِلُوْا وَهُمْ فِى الْغُرُفٰتِ اٰمِنُوْنَ

wa mā amwālukum wa lā aulādukum bil-latī tuqarribukum ‘indanā zulfā illā man āmana wa ‘amila ṣāliḥā(n), fa'ulā'ika lahum jazā'uḍ-ḍi‘fi bimā ‘amilū wa hum fil-gurufāti āminūn(a).

Your wealth and children do not bring you closer to Us. Those who believe and do good deeds earn multiplied rewards and dwell securely in lofty abodes.

وَالَّذِيْنَ يَسْعَوْنَ فِيْٓ اٰيٰتِنَا مُعٰجِزِيْنَ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ فِى الْعَذَابِ مُحْضَرُوْنَ

wal-lażīna yas‘auna fī āyātinā mu‘ājizīna ulā'ika fil-‘ażābi muḥḍarūn(a).

Those who strive against Our signs to thwart them will be brought to punishment.

قُلْ اِنَّ رَبِّيْ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهٗ ۗوَمَآ اَنْفَقْتُمْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهٗ ۚوَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرّٰزِقِيْنَ

qul inna rabbī yabsuṭur-rizqa limay yasyā'u min ‘ibādihī wa yaqdiru lah(ū), wa mā anfaqtum min syai'in fahuwa yukhlifuh(ū), wa huwa khairur-rāziqīn(a).

Say, My Lord expands or restricts provision for whichever of His servants He wills. Whatever you spend, He replaces it. He is the best of providers.

وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيْعًا ثُمَّ يَقُوْلُ لِلْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ اَهٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ اِيَّاكُمْ كَانُوْا يَعْبُدُوْنَ

wa yauma yaḥsyuruhum jamī‘an ṡumma yaqūlu lil-malā'ikati ahā'ulā'i iyyākum kānū ya‘budūn(a).

On the Day He gathers them all and says to the angels, Did they worship you?

قَالُوْا سُبْحٰنَكَ اَنْتَ وَلِيُّنَا مِنْ دُوْنِهِمْ ۚبَلْ كَانُوْا يَعْبُدُوْنَ الْجِنَّ اَكْثَرُهُمْ بِهِمْ مُّؤْمِنُوْنَ

qālū subḥānaka anta waliyyunā min dūnihim, bal kānū ya‘budūnal-jinna akṡaruhum bihim mu'minūn(a).

They say, Glory be to You! You are our Protector, not them. No, they worshipped jinn; most believed in them.

فَالْيَوْمَ لَا يَمْلِكُ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ نَّفْعًا وَّلَا ضَرًّا ۗوَنَقُوْلُ لِلَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا ذُوْقُوْا عَذَابَ النَّارِ الَّتِيْ كُنْتُمْ بِهَا تُكَذِّبُوْنَ

fal-yauma lā yamliku ba‘ḍukum liba‘ḍin naf‘aw wa ḍarrā(n), wa naqūlu lil-lażīna ẓalamū żūqū ‘ażāban-nāril-latī kuntum bihā tukażżibūn(a).

That Day, none of you can benefit or harm another. We will say to the wrongdoers, Taste the fire’s torment you denied.

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ قَالُوْا مَا هٰذَآ اِلَّا رَجُلٌ يُّرِيْدُ اَنْ يَّصُدَّكُمْ عَمَّا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اٰبَاۤؤُكُمْ ۚوَقَالُوْا مَا هٰذَآ اِلَّآ اِفْكٌ مُّفْتَرًىۗ وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاۤءَهُمْۙ اِنْ هٰذَآ اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ

wa iżā tutlā ‘alaihim āyātunā bayyinātin qālū mā hāżā illā rajuluy yurīdu ay yaṣuddakum ‘ammā kāna ya‘budu ābā'ukum, wa qālū mā hāżā illā ifkum muftarā(n), wa qālal-lażīna kafarū lil-ḥaqqi lammā jā'ahum, in hāżā illā siḥrum mubīn(un).

When Our clear signs are recited to them, they say, This man only wants to turn you from what your forefathers worshipped. They say, This is but a fabricated lie. Disbelievers call the truth, when it comes, mere obvious magic.

وَمَآ اٰتَيْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ كُتُبٍ يَّدْرُسُوْنَهَا وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنَآ اِلَيْهِمْ قَبْلَكَ مِنْ نَّذِيْرٍۗ

wa mā ātaināhum min kutubiy yadrusūnahā wa mā arsalnā ilaihim qablaka min nażīr(in).

We gave them no scriptures to study, nor sent a warner before you.

وَكَذَّبَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْۙ وَمَا بَلَغُوْا مِعْشَارَ مَآ اٰتَيْنٰهُمْ فَكَذَّبُوْا رُسُلِيْۗ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيْرِ ࣖ

wa każżabal-lażīna min qablihim, wa mā balagū mi‘syāra mā ātaināhum fakażżabū rusulī, fakaifa kāna nakīr(i).

Those before them also denied, though they received not a tenth of what We gave the ancients, yet they rejected My messengers. How severe was My wrath!

۞ قُلْ اِنَّمَآ اَعِظُكُمْ بِوَاحِدَةٍۚ اَنْ تَقُوْمُوْا لِلّٰهِ مَثْنٰى وَفُرَادٰى ثُمَّ تَتَفَكَّرُوْاۗ مَا بِصَاحِبِكُمْ مِّنْ جِنَّةٍۗ اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا نَذِيْرٌ لَّكُمْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ عَذَابٍ شَدِيْدٍ

qul innamā a‘iẓukum biwāḥidah(tin), an taqūmū lillāhi maṡnā wa furādā ṡumma tatafakkarū, mā biṣāḥibikum min jinnah(tin), in huwa illā nażīrul lakum baina yadai ‘ażābin syadīd(in).

Say, I advise you one thing: stand before Allah, in pairs or alone, and reflect. Your companion is not mad; he is only a warner to you before a severe punishment.

قُلْ مَا سَاَلْتُكُمْ مِّنْ اَجْرٍ فَهُوَ لَكُمْۗ اِنْ اَجْرِيَ اِلَّا عَلَى اللّٰهِ ۚوَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيْدٌ

qul mā sa'altukum min ajrin fahuwa lakum, in ajriya illā ‘alallāh(i), wa huwa ‘alā kulli syai'in syahīd(un).

Say, Any reward I ask is for you. My reward is only from Allah, and He knows all things.

قُلْ اِنَّ رَبِّيْ يَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّۚ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوْبِ

qul inna rabbī yaqżifu bil-ḥaqq(i), ‘allāmul-guyūb(i).

Say, My Lord reveals the truth; He is the Knower of the unseen.

قُلْ جَاۤءَ الْحَقُّ وَمَا يُبْدِئُ الْبَاطِلُ وَمَا يُعِيْدُ

qul jā'al-ḥaqqu wa mā yubdi'ul-bāṭilu wa mā yu‘īd(u).

Say, Truth has come, and falsehood neither creates nor returns.

قُلْ اِنْ ضَلَلْتُ فَاِنَّمَآ اَضِلُّ عَلٰى نَفْسِيْۚ وَاِنِ اهْتَدَيْتُ فَبِمَا يُوْحِيْٓ اِلَيَّ رَبِّيْۗ اِنَّهٗ سَمِيْعٌ قَرِيْبٌ

qul in ḍalaltu fa'innamā aḍillu ‘alā nafsī, wa inihtadaitu fabimā yūḥī ilayya rabbī, innahū samī‘un qarīb(un).

Say, If I err, it harms only me; if I am guided, it is by what my Lord reveals to me. He is All-Hearing, Ever-Near.

وَلَوْ تَرٰىٓ اِذْ فَزِعُوْا فَلَا فَوْتَ وَاُخِذُوْا مِنْ مَّكَانٍ قَرِيْبٍۙ

wa lau tarā iż fazi‘ū falā fauta wa ukhiżū mim makānin qarīb(in).

If only you could see them, terrified, unable to escape, seized from a place nearby.

وَّقَالُوْٓا اٰمَنَّا بِهٖۚ وَاَنّٰى لَهُمُ التَّنَاوُشُ مِنْ مَّكَانٍۢ بَعِيْدٍۚ

wa qālū āmannā bih(ī), wa annā lahumut-tanāwusyu mim makānim ba‘īd(in).

They say, We believe in Him. But how can they gain faith from a distant place?

وَقَدْ كَفَرُوْا بِهٖ مِنْ قَبْلُۚ وَيَقْذِفُوْنَ بِالْغَيْبِ مِنْ مَّكَانٍۢ بَعِيْدٍۚ

wa qad kafarū bihī min qabl(u), wa yaqżifūna bil-gaibi mim makānim ba‘īd(in).

They disbelieved before, denying the unseen from afar.

وَحِيْلَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ مَا يَشْتَهُوْنَۙ كَمَا فُعِلَ بِاَشْيَاعِهِمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُۗ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا فِيْ شَكٍّ مُّرِيْبٍ ࣖ

wa ḥīla bainahum wa baina mā yasytahūn(a), kamā fu‘ila bi'asy-yā‘ihim min qabl(u), innahum fī syakkim murīb(in).

A barrier blocks them from their desires, as with their kind before, lost in deep doubt.
