1

الر ۚ تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ وَقُرْآنٍ مُبِينٍ

Alif-Laaam-Raa; tilka Aayaatul Kitaabi wa Qur-aa-nim Mubeen

Alif. Lam. Ra'. These are the verses of the Book, and a Clear Qur'an.

2

رُبَمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ

Rubamaa yawaddul lazeena kafaroo law kaanoo muslimeen

Soon will the time come when the unbelievers will wish they were Muslims.

3

ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا وَيَتَمَتَّعُوا وَيُلْهِهِمُ الْأَمَلُ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

Zarhum yaakuloo wa yatamatta'oo wa yulhihimul amalu fasawfa ya'lamoon

Leave them to eat and enjoy life and let false hopes amuse them. They will soon come to know.

4

وَمَا أَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَعْلُومٌ

Wa maaa ahlaknaa min qaryatin illaa wa lahaa kitaabum ma'loom

Whenever We destroyed a town, a definite term had previously been decreed for it.

5

مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ

Maa tasbiqu min ummatin ajalahaa wa maa yastaakhiroon

No people can outstrip the term for its destruction, nor can it delay it.

6

وَقَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِي نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ

Wa qaaloo yaaa aiyuhal lazee nuzzila 'alaihiz Zikru innaka lamajnoon

They say: "O you to whom the Admonition has been revealed, you are surely crazed.

7

لَوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِالْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ

Law maa taateenaa bil malaaa'ikati in kunta minas saadiqeen

Why do you not bring down angels upon us if you are indeed truthful?"

8

مَا نُنَزِّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوا إِذًا مُنْظَرِينَ

Maa nunazzilul malaaa'i kata illaa bilhaqqi wa maa kaanooo izam munzareen

We do not send down the angels (in frivolity); and when We do send them down, We do so with Truth; then people are granted no respite.

9

إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ

Innaa Nahnu nazalnaz Zikra wa Innaa lahoo lahaa fizoon

As for the Admonition, indeed it is We Who have revealed it and it is indeed We Who are its guardians.

10

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فِي شِيَعِ الْأَوَّلِينَ

Wa laqad arsalnaa min qablika fee shiya'il awwaleen

(O Muhammad), certainly We did send Messengers before you among the nations which have gone by.

11

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِمْ مِنْ رَسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ

Wa maa yaateehim mir Rasoolin illaa kaanoo bihee yastahzi'oon

And whenever a Messenger came to them, they never failed to mock him.

12

كَذَٰلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ

kazaalika naslukuhoo fee quloobil mujrimeen

Even so We make a way for it (that is, the Admonition) in the hearts of the culprits (like a hot rod);

13

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ ۖ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

Laa yu'minoona bihee wa qad khalat sunnatul awwaleen

they do not believe in it. This has been the wont of people of this kind from ancient times.

14

وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَابًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَظَلُّوا فِيهِ يَعْرُجُونَ

Wa law fatahnaa 'alaihim baabam minas samaaa'i fazaloo feehi ya'rujoon

If We were even to open for them a way to the heavens, and they could continually climb up to it in broad daylight,

15

لَقَالُوا إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَارُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَسْحُورُونَ

Laqaaloo innamaa sukkirat absaarunaa bal nahnu qawmum mashooroon (section 1)

they would still have said: "Surely our eyes have been dazzled; rather, we have been enchanted."

16

وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِي السَّمَاءِ بُرُوجًا وَزَيَّنَّاهَا لِلنَّاظِرِينَ

Wa laqad ja'alnaa fissamaaa'i buroojanw wa zaiyannaahaa linnaazireen

We have indeed set constellations in the heavens and have beautified them for the beholders,

17

وَحَفِظْنَاهَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ

Wa hafiznaahaa min kulli Shaitaanir rajeem

and have protected them against every accursed satan

18

إِلَّا مَنِ اسْتَرَقَ السَّمْعَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ مُبِينٌ

Illaa manis taraqas sam'a fa atba'ahoo shihaabum mubeen

save him who may eavesdrop, and then a bright flame pursues him.

19

وَالْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَاهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَأَنْبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مَوْزُونٍ

Wal arda madadnaahaa wa alqainaa feehaa rawaasiya wa ambatnaa feehaa min kulli shai'im mawzoon

As for the earth, We have stretched it out and have cast on it firm mountains, and have caused to grow in it everything well-measured.

20

وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَايِشَ وَمَنْ لَسْتُمْ لَهُ بِرَازِقِينَ

Wa ja'alnaa lakum feehaa ma'aayisha wa mal lastum lahoo biraaziqeen

And We have provided sustenance for you on it and also for those of whom you are not the providers.

21

وَإِنْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا عِنْدَنَا خَزَائِنُهُ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَعْلُومٍ

Wa im min shai'in illaa 'indanaa khazaaa 'inuhoo wa maa nunazziluhooo illaa biqadarim ma'loom

There is nothing except that its treasuries are with Us and We do not send it down except in a known measure.

22

وَأَرْسَلْنَا الرِّيَاحَ لَوَاقِحَ فَأَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَسْقَيْنَاكُمُوهُ وَمَا أَنْتُمْ لَهُ بِخَازِنِينَ

Wa arsalnar riyaaha la waaqiha fa anzalnaa minas samaaa'i maaa'an fa asqai naakumoohu wa maaa antum lahoo bikhaazineen

We send fertilizing winds, and then cause rain to descend from the sky, providing you abundant water to drink even though you could not have stored it up for yourselves.

23

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْيِي وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحْنُ الْوَارِثُونَ

Wa innnaa la nahnu nuhyee wa numeetu wa nahnul waarisoon

It is indeed We Who grant life and cause death, and it is We who shall be the sole Inheritors of all.

24

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَأْخِرِينَ

Wa la qad 'alimnal mustaqdimeena minkum wa laqad 'alimnal mustaakhireen

Surely We know those of you who have passed before and those who will come later.

25

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ

Wa inna Rabbaka Huwa yahshuruhum; innahoo Hakeemun 'Aleem (section 2)

Indeed, your Lord will gather them all together. Surely, He is All-Wise, All-Knowing.

26

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِنْ حَمَإٍ مَسْنُونٍ

Wa laqad khalaqnal insaana min salsaalim min hama im masnoon

Surely We brought man into being out of dry ringing clay which was wrought from black mud,

27

وَالْجَانَّ خَلَقْنَاهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ مِنْ نَارِ السَّمُومِ

Waljaaanna khalaqnaahu min qablu min naaris samoom

while We had brought the jinn into being before out of blazing fire.

28

وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنِّي خَالِقٌ بَشَرًا مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِنْ حَمَإٍ مَسْنُونٍ

Wa iz qaala Rabbuka lilmalaaa' ikati innee khaaliqum basharam min salsaalim min hama im masnoon

Recall when your Lord said to the angels: "I will indeed bring into being a human being out of dry ringing clay wrought from black mud.

29

فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِنْ رُوحِي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ

Fa izaa sawwaituhoo wa nafakhtu feehi mir roohee faqa'oo lahoo saajideen

When I have completed shaping him and have breathed into him of My Spirit, then fall you down before him in prostration."

30

فَسَجَدَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ

Fasajadal malaaa'ikatu kulluhum ajma'oon

So, the angels - all of them - fell down in prostration,

31

إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ

Illaaa ibleesa abaaa ai yakoona ma'as saajideen

except Iblis; he refused to join those who prostrated.

32

قَالَ يَا إِبْلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ

Qaala yaaa Ibleesu maa laka allaa takoona ma'as saajideen

The Lord inquired: "Iblis! What is the matter with you that you did not join those who prostrated?"

33

قَالَ لَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِنْ حَمَإٍ مَسْنُونٍ

Qaala lam akul li asjuda libasharin khalaqtahoo min salsaalim min hama im masnoon

He said: "It does not behove of me to prostrate myself before a human being whom You have created out of dry ringing clay wrought from black mud."

34

قَالَ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ

Qaala fakhruj minhaa fa innaka rajeem

The Lord said: "Then get out of here; you are rejected,

35

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ اللَّعْنَةَ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ

Wa inna 'alaikal la'nata ilaa Yawmid Deen

and there shall be a curse upon you till the Day of Recompense."

Inna 'ibaadee laisa laka 'alaihim sultaanun illaa manittaba'aka minal ghaaween

Over My true servants you will be able to exercise no power, your power will be confined to the erring ones, those who choose to follow you.

43

وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Wa inna jahannama lamaw'iduhum ajma'een

Surely Hell is the promised place for all of them."

Fa akhazat humus saihatu mushriqeen

Then the mighty Blast caught them at sunrise,

74

Wa in kaana Ashaabul Aikati lazaalimeen

And the people of Aykah were also wrong-doers.

فَانْتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍ مُبِينٍ

Fantaqamnaa minhum wa innahumaa labi imaamim mubeen (section 5)

So We chastised them. The desolate locations of both communities lie on a well-known highway.

وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَابُ الْحِجْرِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa laqad kazzaba ashaabul Hijril mursaleen

Surely the people of al-Hijr also rejected the Messengers, calling them liars.

Wa aatainaahum Aayaatinaa fakaanoo 'anhaa mu'rideen

We also gave them Our Signs, yet they turned away from them.

Famaaa aghnaa 'anhum maa kaanoo yaksiboon

and whatever they had been earning proved of no avail.

85

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَآتِيَةٌ ۖ فَاصْفَحِ الصَّفْحَ الْجَمِيلَ

Wa maa khalaqnas samaawaati wal arda wa maa bainahumaaa illaa bilhaqq; wa innas Saa'ata la aatiyatun fasfahis safhal jameel

We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is in between them except with Truth. Surely the Hour will come. So, (O Muhammad), do graciously overlook them (despite their misdeeds).

86

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْخَلَّاقُ الْعَلِيمُ

Inna Rabbaka Huwal khallaaqul 'aleem

Your Lord is indeed the Creator of all, the All-Knowing.

لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجًا مِنْهُمْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Laa tamuddanna 'ainaika ilaa maa matta 'naa biheee azwaajam minhum wa laa tahzan 'alaihim wakhfid janaahaka lilmu 'mineen

Do not even cast your eyes towards the worldly goods We have granted to different kinds of people, nor grieve over the state they are in, but turn your loving attention to the believers instead,

89

وَقُلْ إِنِّي أَنَا النَّذِيرُ الْمُبِينُ

Wa qul inneee anan nazeerul mubeen

and clearly tell the unbelievers: "I am most certainly a plain warner,"

90

كَمَا أَنْزَلْنَا عَلَى الْمُقْتَسِمِينَ

Kamaaa anzalnaa 'alal muqtasimeen

even as We had sent warning to those who had divided their religion into fragments;

91

الَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا الْقُرْآنَ عِضِينَ

Allazeena ja'alul Quraana'ideen

those who had split up their Qur'an into pieces.

92

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْأَلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Fawa Rabbika lanas'a lannahum ajma'een

By your Lord, We will question them all

93

عَمَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

'Ammaa kaanoo ya'maloon

concerning what they have been doing.

94

فَاصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ

Fasda' bimaa tu'maru wa a'rid anil mushrikeen

(O Prophet), proclaim what you are commanded, and pay no heed to those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity.

95

إِنَّا كَفَيْنَاكَ الْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ

Innaa kafainaakal mustahzi'een

Surely We suffice to deal with those who scoff at you,

96

الَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ ۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

Allazeena yaj'aloona ma'al laahi ilaahan aakhar; fasawfa ya'lamoon

those who set up another deity alongside Allah. They shall soon come to know.

97

وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ

Wa laqad na'lamu annaka yadeequ sadruka bimaa yaqooloon

We certainly know that their statements sorely grieve you.

98

فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُنْ مِنَ السَّاجِدِينَ

Fasabbih bihamdi Rabbika wa kum minas saajideen

When (you feel so) glorify your Lord with His praise and prostrate yourself before Him,

99

وَاعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ الْيَقِينُ

Wa'bud Rabbaka hattaa yaatiyakal yaqeen (section 6)

and worship your Lord until the last moment (of your life) that will most certainly come.
