وَالْقُرْاٰنِ الْحَكِیْمِ ۟ۙ
By the wise Qur’ān,
اِنَّكَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِیْنَ ۟ۙ
Indeed you, [O Muḥammad], are from among the messengers,
عَلٰی صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ ۟ؕ
On a straight path.
تَنْزِیْلَ الْعَزِیْزِ الرَّحِیْمِ ۟ۙ
[This is] a revelation of the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,
لِتُنْذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّاۤ اُنْذِرَ اٰبَآؤُهُمْ فَهُمْ غٰفِلُوْنَ ۟
That you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are unaware.
لَقَدْ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ عَلٰۤی اَكْثَرِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۟
Already the word [i.e., decree] has come into effect upon most of them, so they do not believe.
اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا فِیْۤ اَعْنَاقِهِمْ اَغْلٰلًا فَهِیَ اِلَی الْاَذْقَانِ فَهُمْ مُّقْمَحُوْنَ ۟
Indeed, We have put shackles on their necks, and they are to their chins, so they are with heads [kept] aloft.
وَجَعَلْنَا مِنْ بَیْنِ اَیْدِیْهِمْ سَدًّا وَّمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا فَاَغْشَیْنٰهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا یُبْصِرُوْنَ ۟
And We have put before them a barrier and behind them a barrier and covered them, so they do not see.
وَسَوَآءٌ عَلَیْهِمْ ءَاَنْذَرْتَهُمْ اَمْ لَمْ تُنْذِرْهُمْ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۟
And it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe.
اِنَّمَا تُنْذِرُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الذِّكْرَ وَخَشِیَ الرَّحْمٰنَ بِالْغَیْبِ ۚ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِمَغْفِرَةٍ وَّاَجْرٍ كَرِیْمٍ ۟
You can only warn one who follows the message and fears the Most Merciful unseen. So give him good tidings of forgiveness and noble reward.
اِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْیِ الْمَوْتٰی وَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُوْا وَاٰثَارَهُمْ ؔؕ وَكُلَّ شَیْءٍ اَحْصَیْنٰهُ فِیْۤ اِمَامٍ مُّبِیْنٍ ۟۠
Indeed, it is We who bring the dead to life and record what they have put forth and what they left behind, and all things We have enumerated in a clear register.
وَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَّثَلًا اَصْحٰبَ الْقَرْیَةِ ۘ اِذْ جَآءَهَا الْمُرْسَلُوْنَ ۟ۚ
And present to them an example: the people of the city, when the messengers came to it -
اِذْ اَرْسَلْنَاۤ اِلَیْهِمُ اثْنَیْنِ فَكَذَّبُوْهُمَا فَعَزَّزْنَا بِثَالِثٍ فَقَالُوْۤا اِنَّاۤ اِلَیْكُمْ مُّرْسَلُوْنَ ۟
When We sent to them two but they denied them, so We strengthened [them] with a third, and they said, "Indeed, we are messengers to you."
قَالُوْا مَاۤ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا ۙ وَمَاۤ اَنْزَلَ الرَّحْمٰنُ مِنْ شَیْءٍ ۙ اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا تَكْذِبُوْنَ ۟
They said, "You are not but human beings like us, and the Most Merciful has not revealed a thing. You are only telling lies."
قَالُوْا رَبُّنَا یَعْلَمُ اِنَّاۤ اِلَیْكُمْ لَمُرْسَلُوْنَ ۟
They said, "Our Lord knows that we are messengers to you,
وَمَا عَلَیْنَاۤ اِلَّا الْبَلٰغُ الْمُبِیْنُ ۟
And we are not responsible except for clear notification."
قَالُوْۤا اِنَّا تَطَیَّرْنَا بِكُمْ ۚ لَىِٕنْ لَّمْ تَنْتَهُوْا لَنَرْجُمَنَّكُمْ وَلَیَمَسَّنَّكُمْ مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ ۟
They said, "Indeed, we consider you a bad omen. If you do not desist, we will surely stone you, and there will surely touch you, from us, a painful punishment."
قَالُوْا طَآىِٕرُكُمْ مَّعَكُمْ ؕ اَىِٕنْ ذُكِّرْتُمْ ؕ بَلْ اَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّسْرِفُوْنَ ۟
They said, "Your omen [i.e., fate] is with yourselves. Is it because you were reminded? Rather, you are a transgressing people."
وَجَآءَ مِنْ اَقْصَا الْمَدِیْنَةِ رَجُلٌ یَّسْعٰی قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اتَّبِعُوا الْمُرْسَلِیْنَ ۟ۙ
And there came from the farthest end of the city a man, running. He said, "O my people, follow the messengers.
اتَّبِعُوْا مَنْ لَّا یَسْـَٔلُكُمْ اَجْرًا وَّهُمْ مُّهْتَدُوْنَ ۟
Follow those who do not ask of you [any] payment, and they are [rightly] guided.
وَمَا لِیَ لَاۤ اَعْبُدُ الَّذِیْ فَطَرَنِیْ وَاِلَیْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ ۟
And why should I not worship He who created me and to whom you will be returned?
ءَاَتَّخِذُ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اٰلِهَةً اِنْ یُّرِدْنِ الرَّحْمٰنُ بِضُرٍّ لَّا تُغْنِ عَنِّیْ شَفَاعَتُهُمْ شَیْـًٔا وَّلَا یُنْقِذُوْنِ ۟ۚ
Should I take other than Him [false] deities [while], if the Most Merciful intends for me some adversity, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor can they save me?
اِنِّیْۤ اِذًا لَّفِیْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیْنٍ ۟
Indeed, I would then be in manifest error.
اِنِّیْۤ اٰمَنْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ فَاسْمَعُوْنِ ۟ؕ
Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me."
قِیْلَ ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ ؕ قَالَ یٰلَیْتَ قَوْمِیْ یَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟ۙ
It was said, "Enter Paradise." He said, "I wish my people could know
بِمَا غَفَرَ لِیْ رَبِّیْ وَجَعَلَنِیْ مِنَ الْمُكْرَمِیْنَ ۟
Of how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me among the honored."
وَمَاۤ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلٰی قَوْمِهٖ مِنْ بَعْدِهٖ مِنْ جُنْدٍ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ وَمَا كُنَّا مُنْزِلِیْنَ ۟
And We did not send down upon his people after him any soldiers from the heaven, nor would We have done so.
اِنْ كَانَتْ اِلَّا صَیْحَةً وَّاحِدَةً فَاِذَا هُمْ خٰمِدُوْنَ ۟
It was not but one shout, and immediately they were extinguished.
یٰحَسْرَةً عَلَی الْعِبَادِ ؔۚ مَا یَاْتِیْهِمْ مِّنْ رَّسُوْلٍ اِلَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ یَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ ۟
How regretful for the servants. There did not come to them any messenger except that they used to ridicule him.
اَلَمْ یَرَوْا كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنَ الْقُرُوْنِ اَنَّهُمْ اِلَیْهِمْ لَا یَرْجِعُوْنَ ۟ؕ
Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them - that they to them will not return?
وَاِنْ كُلٌّ لَّمَّا جَمِیْعٌ لَّدَیْنَا مُحْضَرُوْنَ ۟۠
And indeed, all of them will yet be brought present before Us.
وَاٰیَةٌ لَّهُمُ الْاَرْضُ الْمَیْتَةُ ۖۚ اَحْیَیْنٰهَا وَاَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهَا حَبًّا فَمِنْهُ یَاْكُلُوْنَ ۟
And a sign for them is the dead earth. We have brought it to life and brought forth from it grain, and from it they eat.
وَجَعَلْنَا فِیْهَا جَنّٰتٍ مِّنْ نَّخِیْلٍ وَّاَعْنَابٍ وَّفَجَّرْنَا فِیْهَا مِنَ الْعُیُوْنِ ۟ۙ
And We placed therein gardens of palm trees and grapevines and caused to burst forth therefrom some springs -
لِیَاْكُلُوْا مِنْ ثَمَرِهٖ ۙ وَمَا عَمِلَتْهُ اَیْدِیْهِمْ ؕ اَفَلَا یَشْكُرُوْنَ ۟
That they may eat of His fruit. And their hands have not produced it, so will they not be grateful?
سُبْحٰنَ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَ الْاَزْوَاجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنْۢبِتُ الْاَرْضُ وَمِنْ اَنْفُسِهِمْ وَمِمَّا لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟
Exalted is He who created all pairs - from what the earth grows and from themselves and from that which they do not know.
وَاٰیَةٌ لَّهُمُ الَّیْلُ ۖۚ نَسْلَخُ مِنْهُ النَّهَارَ فَاِذَا هُمْ مُّظْلِمُوْنَ ۟ۙ
And a sign for them is the night. We remove from it the [light of] day, so they are [left] in darkness.
وَالشَّمْسُ تَجْرِیْ لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَّهَا ؕ ذٰلِكَ تَقْدِیْرُ الْعَزِیْزِ الْعَلِیْمِ ۟ؕ
And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.
وَالْقَمَرَ قَدَّرْنٰهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتّٰی عَادَ كَالْعُرْجُوْنِ الْقَدِیْمِ ۟
And the moon - We have determined for it phases, until it returns [appearing] like the old date stalk.
لَا الشَّمْسُ یَنْۢبَغِیْ لَهَاۤ اَنْ تُدْرِكَ الْقَمَرَ وَلَا الَّیْلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارِ ؕ وَكُلٌّ فِیْ فَلَكٍ یَّسْبَحُوْنَ ۟
It is not allowable [i.e., possible] for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.
وَاٰیَةٌ لَّهُمْ اَنَّا حَمَلْنَا ذُرِّیَّتَهُمْ فِی الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُوْنِ ۟ۙ
And a sign for them is that We carried their forefathers in a laden ship.
وَخَلَقْنَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ مِّثْلِهٖ مَا یَرْكَبُوْنَ ۟
And We created for them from the likes of it that which they ride.
وَاِنْ نَّشَاْ نُغْرِقْهُمْ فَلَا صَرِیْخَ لَهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ یُنْقَذُوْنَ ۟ۙ
And if We should will, We could drown them; then no one responding to a cry would there be for them, nor would they be saved
اِلَّا رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا وَمَتَاعًا اِلٰی حِیْنٍ ۟
Except as a mercy from Us and provision for a time.
وَاِذَا قِیْلَ لَهُمُ اتَّقُوْا مَا بَیْنَ اَیْدِیْكُمْ وَمَا خَلْفَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ ۟
But when it is said to them, "Beware of what is before you and what is behind you; perhaps you will receive mercy..."
وَمَا تَاْتِیْهِمْ مِّنْ اٰیَةٍ مِّنْ اٰیٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ اِلَّا كَانُوْا عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِیْنَ ۟
And no sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord except that they are from it turning away.
وَاِذَا قِیْلَ لَهُمْ اَنْفِقُوْا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّٰهُ ۙ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَنُطْعِمُ مَنْ لَّوْ یَشَآءُ اللّٰهُ اَطْعَمَهٗۤ ۖۗ اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیْنٍ ۟
And when it is said to them, "Spend from that which Allāh has provided for you," those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Should we feed one whom, if Allāh had willed, He would have fed? You are not but in clear error."
وَیَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰی هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ ۟
And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"
مَا یَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّا صَیْحَةً وَّاحِدَةً تَاْخُذُهُمْ وَهُمْ یَخِصِّمُوْنَ ۟
They do not await except one blast which will seize them while they are disputing.
فَلَا یَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ تَوْصِیَةً وَّلَاۤ اِلٰۤی اَهْلِهِمْ یَرْجِعُوْنَ ۟۠
And they will not be able [to give] any instruction, nor to their people can they return.
