الٓرٰ ۫ تِلْكَ اٰیٰتُ الْكِتٰبِ وَقُرْاٰنٍ مُّبِیْنٍ ۟
Alif, Lām, Rā. These are the verses of the Book and a clear Qur’ān [i.e., recitation].
رُبَمَا یَوَدُّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْ كَانُوْا مُسْلِمِیْنَ ۟
Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish that they had been Muslims.
ذَرْهُمْ یَاْكُلُوْا وَیَتَمَتَّعُوْا وَیُلْهِهِمُ الْاَمَلُ فَسَوْفَ یَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟
Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know.
وَمَاۤ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْیَةٍ اِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَّعْلُوْمٌ ۟
And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree.
مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ اُمَّةٍ اَجَلَهَا وَمَا یَسْتَاْخِرُوْنَ ۟
No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter.
وَقَالُوْا یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْ نُزِّلَ عَلَیْهِ الذِّكْرُ اِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُوْنٌ ۟ؕ
And they say, "O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad.
لَوْ مَا تَاْتِیْنَا بِالْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ ۟
Why do you not bring us the angels, if you should be among the truthful?"
مَا نُنَزِّلُ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةَ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوْۤا اِذًا مُّنْظَرِیْنَ ۟
We do not send down the angels except with truth; and they [i.e., the disbelievers] would not then be reprieved.
اِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ لَحٰفِظُوْنَ ۟
Indeed, it is We who sent down the message [i.e., the Qur’ān], and indeed, We will be its guardian.
وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فِیْ شِیَعِ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ ۟
And We had certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muḥammad], among the sects of the former peoples.
وَمَا یَاْتِیْهِمْ مِّنْ رَّسُوْلٍ اِلَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ یَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ ۟
And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him.
كَذٰلِكَ نَسْلُكُهٗ فِیْ قُلُوْبِ الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ ۟ۙ
Thus do We insert it [i.e., denial] into the hearts of the criminals.
لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ ۟
They will not believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former peoples.
وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ بَابًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّوْا فِیْهِ یَعْرُجُوْنَ ۟ۙ
And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend,
لَقَالُوْۤا اِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ اَبْصَارُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَّسْحُوْرُوْنَ ۟۠
They would say, "Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic."
وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِی السَّمَآءِ بُرُوْجًا وَّزَیَّنّٰهَا لِلنّٰظِرِیْنَ ۟ۙ
And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.
وَحَفِظْنٰهَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَیْطٰنٍ رَّجِیْمٍ ۟ۙ
And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allāh]
اِلَّا مَنِ اسْتَرَقَ السَّمْعَ فَاَتْبَعَهٗ شِهَابٌ مُّبِیْنٌ ۟
Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame.
وَالْاَرْضَ مَدَدْنٰهَا وَاَلْقَیْنَا فِیْهَا رَوَاسِیَ وَاَنْۢبَتْنَا فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَیْءٍ مَّوْزُوْنٍ ۟
And the earth - We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing.
وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِیْهَا مَعَایِشَ وَمَنْ لَّسْتُمْ لَهٗ بِرٰزِقِیْنَ ۟
And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers.
وَاِنْ مِّنْ شَیْءٍ اِلَّا عِنْدَنَا خَزَآىِٕنُهٗ ؗ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهٗۤ اِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَّعْلُوْمٍ ۟
And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known [i.e., specified] measure.
وَاَرْسَلْنَا الرِّیٰحَ لَوَاقِحَ فَاَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَاَسْقَیْنٰكُمُوْهُ ۚ وَمَاۤ اَنْتُمْ لَهٗ بِخٰزِنِیْنَ ۟
And We have sent the fertilizing winds and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers.
وَاِنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْیٖ وَنُمِیْتُ وَنَحْنُ الْوٰرِثُوْنَ ۟
And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor.
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَقْدِمِیْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَاْخِرِیْنَ ۟
And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come].
وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ یَحْشُرُهُمْ ؕ اِنَّهٗ حَكِیْمٌ عَلِیْمٌ ۟۠
And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَاٍ مَّسْنُوْنٍ ۟ۚ
And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud.
وَالْجَآنَّ خَلَقْنٰهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ مِنْ نَّارِ السَّمُوْمِ ۟
And the jinn We created before from scorching fire.
وَاِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ اِنِّیْ خَالِقٌۢ بَشَرًا مِّنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَاٍ مَّسْنُوْنٍ ۟
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud.
فَاِذَا سَوَّیْتُهٗ وَنَفَخْتُ فِیْهِ مِنْ رُّوْحِیْ فَقَعُوْا لَهٗ سٰجِدِیْنَ ۟
And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."
فَسَجَدَ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ اَجْمَعُوْنَ ۟ۙ
So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely,
اِلَّاۤ اِبْلِیْسَ ؕ اَبٰۤی اَنْ یَّكُوْنَ مَعَ السّٰجِدِیْنَ ۟
Except Iblees; he refused to be with those who prostrated.
قَالَ یٰۤاِبْلِیْسُ مَا لَكَ اَلَّا تَكُوْنَ مَعَ السّٰجِدِیْنَ ۟
[Allāh] said, "O Iblees, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate?"
قَالَ لَمْ اَكُنْ لِّاَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهٗ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَاٍ مَّسْنُوْنٍ ۟
He said, "Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud."
قَالَ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَاِنَّكَ رَجِیْمٌ ۟ۙ
[Allāh] said, "Then depart from it, for indeed, you are expelled.
وَّاِنَّ عَلَیْكَ اللَّعْنَةَ اِلٰی یَوْمِ الدِّیْنِ ۟
And indeed, upon you is the curse until the Day of Recompense."
قَالَ رَبِّ فَاَنْظِرْنِیْۤ اِلٰی یَوْمِ یُبْعَثُوْنَ ۟
He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."
قَالَ فَاِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنْظَرِیْنَ ۟ۙ
[Allāh] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved
اِلٰی یَوْمِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُوْمِ ۟
Until the Day of the time well-known."
قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَاۤ اَغْوَیْتَنِیْ لَاُزَیِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَلَاُغْوِیَنَّهُمْ اَجْمَعِیْنَ ۟ۙ
[Iblees] said, "My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make [disobedience] attractive to them [i.e., mankind] on earth, and I will mislead them all
اِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِیْنَ ۟
Except, among them, Your chosen servants."
قَالَ هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ عَلَیَّ مُسْتَقِیْمٌ ۟
[Allāh] said, "This is a path [of return] to Me [that is] straight.
اِنَّ عِبَادِیْ لَیْسَ لَكَ عَلَیْهِمْ سُلْطٰنٌ اِلَّا مَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْغٰوِیْنَ ۟
Indeed, My servants - no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators.
وَاِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ اَجْمَعِیْنَ ۟۫ۙ
And indeed, Hell is the promised place for them all.
لَهَا سَبْعَةُ اَبْوَابٍ ؕ لِكُلِّ بَابٍ مِّنْهُمْ جُزْءٌ مَّقْسُوْمٌ ۟۠
It has seven gates; for every gate is of them [i.e., Satan's followers] a portion designated."
اِنَّ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ فِیْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُیُوْنٍ ۟ؕ
Indeed, the righteous will be within gardens and springs,
اُدْخُلُوْهَا بِسَلٰمٍ اٰمِنِیْنَ ۟
[Having been told], "Enter it in peace, safe [and secure]."
وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِیْ صُدُوْرِهِمْ مِّنْ غِلٍّ اِخْوَانًا عَلٰی سُرُرٍ مُّتَقٰبِلِیْنَ ۟
And We will remove whatever is in their breasts of resentment, [so they will be] brothers, on thrones facing each other.
لَا یَمَسُّهُمْ فِیْهَا نَصَبٌ وَّمَا هُمْ مِّنْهَا بِمُخْرَجِیْنَ ۟
No fatigue will touch them therein, nor from it will they [ever] be removed.
نَبِّئْ عِبَادِیْۤ اَنِّیْۤ اَنَا الْغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِیْمُ ۟ۙ
[O Muḥammad], inform My servants that it is I who am the Forgiving, the Merciful,
وَاَنَّ عَذَابِیْ هُوَ الْعَذَابُ الْاَلِیْمُ ۟
And that it is My punishment which is the painful punishment.
