بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ طسۤمۤ

Ta Sin Mim

تِلۡكَ ءَایَـٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِینِ

Those are the signs of the Manifest Book.

لَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعࣱ نَّفۡسَكَ أَلَّا یَكُونُوا۟ مُؤۡمِنِینَ

Perchance thou consumest thyself that they are not believers.

إِن نَّشَأۡ نُنَزِّلۡ عَلَیۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ ءَایَةࣰ فَظَلَّتۡ أَعۡنَـٰقُهُمۡ لَهَا خَـٰضِعِینَ

If We will, We shall send down on them out of heaven a sign, so their necks will stay humbled to it.

وَمَا یَأۡتِیهِم مِّن ذِكۡرࣲ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ مُحۡدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضِینَ

But never fresh remembrance comes to them from the All-merciful, except they turn away from it.

فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَیَأۡتِیهِمۡ أَنۢبَـٰۤؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ یَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

So they have cried lies; therefore assuredly tidings will come to them of that they mocked at.

أَوَلَمۡ یَرَوۡا۟ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمۡ أَنۢبَتۡنَا فِیهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجࣲ كَرِیمٍ

What, have they not regarded the earth, how many therein We have caused to grow of every generous kind?

إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ لَـَٔایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ

Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

وَإِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰۤ أَنِ ٱئۡتِ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِینَ

And when thy Lord called to Moses, 'Go to the people of the evildoers,

قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ أَلَا یَتَّقُونَ

the people of Pharaoh; will they not be godfearing?'

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّیۤ أَخَافُ أَن یُكَذِّبُونِ

He said, 'My Lord, I fear they will cry me lies,

وَیَضِیقُ صَدۡرِی وَلَا یَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِی فَأَرۡسِلۡ إِلَىٰ هَـٰرُونَ

and my breast will be straitened, and my tongue will not be loosed; so send to Aaron.

وَلَهُمۡ عَلَیَّ ذَنۢبࣱ فَأَخَافُ أَن یَقۡتُلُونِ

They also have a sin against me, and I fear they will slay me.'

قَالَ كَلَّاۖ فَٱذۡهَبَا بِـَٔایَـٰتِنَاۤۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسۡتَمِعُونَ

Said He, 'No indeed; but go, both of you, with Our signs, and We assuredly shall be with you, listening.

فَأۡتِیَا فِرۡعَوۡنَ فَقُولَاۤ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

So go you to Pharaoh, and say, "Verily, I am the Messenger of the Lord of all Being;

أَنۡ أَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰ⁠ۤءِیلَ

so send forth with us the Children of Israel."

قَالَ أَلَمۡ نُرَبِّكَ فِینَا وَلِیدࣰا وَلَبِثۡتَ فِینَا مِنۡ عُمُرِكَ سِنِینَ

He said, 'Did we not raise thee amongst us as a child? Didst thou not tarry among us years of thy life?

وَفَعَلۡتَ فَعۡلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِی فَعَلۡتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِینَ

And thou didst the deed thou didst, being one of the ungrateful!'

قَالَ فَعَلۡتُهَاۤ إِذࣰا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّاۤلِّینَ

Said he, 'Indeed I did it then, being one of those that stray;

فَفَرَرۡتُ مِنكُمۡ لَمَّا خِفۡتُكُمۡ فَوَهَبَ لِی رَبِّی حُكۡمࣰا وَجَعَلَنِی مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ

so I fled from you, fearing you. But my Lord gave me Judgment and made me one of the Envoys.

وَتِلۡكَ نِعۡمَةࣱ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَیَّ أَنۡ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰ⁠ۤءِیلَ

That is a blessing thou reproachest me with, having enslaved the Children of Israel.'

قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

Pharaoh said, 'And what is the Lord of all Being?'

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰ⁠تِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَاۤۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِینَ

He said, 'The Lord of the heavens and earth, and what between them is, if you have faith.'

قَالَ لِمَنۡ حَوۡلَهُۥۤ أَلَا تَسۡتَمِعُونَ

Said he to those about him, 'Do you not hear?'

قَالَ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَاۤىِٕكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

He said, 'Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers, the ancients.'

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِیۤ أُرۡسِلَ إِلَیۡكُمۡ لَمَجۡنُونࣱ

Said he, 'Surely your Messenger who was sent to you is possessed!'

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَاۤۖ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ

He said, 'The Lord of the East and West, and what between them is, if you have understanding,'

قَالَ لَىِٕنِ ٱتَّخَذۡتَ إِلَـٰهًا غَیۡرِی لَأَجۡعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجُونِینَ

Said he, 'If thou takest a god other than me, I shall surely make thee one of the imprisoned.'

قَالَ أَوَلَوۡ جِئۡتُكَ بِشَیۡءࣲ مُّبِینࣲ

He said, 'What, even though I brought thee something so manifest?'

قَالَ فَأۡتِ بِهِۦۤ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِینَ

Said he, 'Bring it then, if thou art of the truthful.'

فَأَلۡقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِیَ ثُعۡبَانࣱ مُّبِینࣱ

So he cast his staff, and behold, it was a serpent manifest.

وَنَزَعَ یَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِیَ بَیۡضَاۤءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِینَ

And he drew forth his hand, and lo, it was white to the beholders.

قَالَ لِلۡمَلَإِ حَوۡلَهُۥۤ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرٌ عَلِیمࣱ

Said he to the Council about him, 'Surely this man is a cunning sorcerer

یُرِیدُ أَن یُخۡرِجَكُم مِّنۡ أَرۡضِكُم بِسِحۡرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأۡمُرُونَ

who desires to expel you from your land by his sorcery; what do you command?'

قَالُوۤا۟ أَرۡجِهۡ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبۡعَثۡ فِی ٱلۡمَدَاۤىِٕنِ حَـٰشِرِینَ

They said, 'Put him and his brother off a while, and send among the cities musterers,

یَأۡتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِیمࣲ

to bring thee every cunning sorcerer.

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِیقَـٰتِ یَوۡمࣲ مَّعۡلُومࣲ

So the sorcerers were assembled for the appointed time of a fixed day.

وَقِیلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّجۡتَمِعُونَ

The people were asked, 'Will you assemble?

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبِینَ

Haply we shall follow the sorcerers if it should be they are the victors.'

فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ أَىِٕنَّ لَنَا لَأَجۡرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبِینَ

Then, when the sorcerers came, they said to Pharaoh, 'Shall we indeed have a wage, if we should be the victors?'

قَالَ نَعَمۡ وَإِنَّكُمۡ إِذࣰا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِینَ

He said, 'Yes indeed; and you shall then be among the near-stationed.'

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰۤ أَلۡقُوا۟ مَاۤ أَنتُم مُّلۡقُونَ

Moses said to them, 'Cast you down what you will cast.'

فَأَلۡقَوۡا۟ حِبَالَهُمۡ وَعِصِیَّهُمۡ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبُونَ

So they cast their ropes and their staffs, and said, 'By the might of Pharaoh we shall be the victors.'

فَأَلۡقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِیَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا یَأۡفِكُونَ

Then Moses cast his staff and lo, it forthwith swallowed up their lying invention;

فَأُلۡقِیَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَـٰجِدِینَ

so the sorcerers were cast down, bowing themselves.

قَالُوۤا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

They said, 'We believe in the Lord of all Being,

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ

the Lord of Moses and Aaron.'

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ قَبۡلَ أَنۡ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِیرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِی عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحۡرَ فَلَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَیۡدِیَكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَـٰفࣲ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِینَ

Said Pharaoh, 'You have believed him before I gave you leave. Why, he is the chief of you, the same that taught you sorcery; now you shall know! I shall assuredly cut off alternately your hands and feet, then I shall crucify you all together.'

قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَیۡرَۖ إِنَّاۤ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

They said, 'There is no harm; surely unto our Lord we are turning.

إِنَّا نَطۡمَعُ أَن یَغۡفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَـٰیَـٰنَاۤ أَن كُنَّاۤ أَوَّلَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

We are eager that our Lord should forgive us our offences, for that we are the first of the believers.'

۞ وَأَوۡحَیۡنَاۤ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰۤ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِیۤ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

Also We revealed unto Moses, 'Go with My servants by night; surely you will be followed.'

فَأَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِی ٱلۡمَدَاۤىِٕنِ حَـٰشِرِینَ

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities musterers:

إِنَّ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ لَشِرۡذِمَةࣱ قَلِیلُونَ

'Behold, these are a small troop,

وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَنَا لَغَاۤىِٕظُونَ

and indeed they are enraging us;

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِیعٌ حَـٰذِرُونَ

and we are a host on our guard.'

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَـٰهُم مِّن جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونࣲ

So We expelled them from gardens and fountains,

وَكُنُوزࣲ وَمَقَامࣲ كَرِیمࣲ

and treasures and a noble station;

كَذَ ٰ⁠لِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَـٰهَا بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰ⁠ۤءِیلَ

even so, and We bequeathed them upon the Children of Israel.

فَأَتۡبَعُوهُم مُّشۡرِقِینَ

Then they followed them at the sunrise;

فَلَمَّا تَرَ ٰ⁠ۤءَا ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ قَالَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰۤ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ

and, when the two hosts sighted each other, the companions of Moses said, 'We are overtaken!'

قَالَ كَلَّاۤۖ إِنَّ مَعِیَ رَبِّی سَیَهۡدِینِ

Said he, 'No indeed; surely my Lord is with me; He will guide me.'

فَأَوۡحَیۡنَاۤ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰۤ أَنِ ٱضۡرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرۡقࣲ كَٱلطَّوۡدِ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ

Then We revealed to Moses, 'Strike with thy staff the sea'; and it clave, and each part was as a mighty mount.

وَأَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ ٱلۡـَٔاخَرِینَ

And there We brought the others on,

وَأَنجَیۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥۤ أَجۡمَعِینَ

and We delivered Moses and those with him all together;

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡـَٔاخَرِینَ

then We drowned the others.

إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ لَـَٔایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ

Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

وَٱتۡلُ عَلَیۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ إِبۡرَ ٰ⁠هِیمَ

And recite to them the tiding of Abraham

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِیهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

when he said to his father and his people, 'What do you serve?'

قَالُوا۟ نَعۡبُدُ أَصۡنَامࣰا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَـٰكِفِینَ

They said, 'We serve idols, and continue cleaving to them.

قَالَ هَلۡ یَسۡمَعُونَكُمۡ إِذۡ تَدۡعُونَ

He said, 'Do they hear you when you call,

أَوۡ یَنفَعُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ یَضُرُّونَ

or do they profit you, or harm?'

قَالُوا۟ بَلۡ وَجَدۡنَاۤ ءَابَاۤءَنَا كَذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ یَفۡعَلُونَ

They said, 'Nay, but we found our fathers so doing.'

قَالَ أَفَرَءَیۡتُم مَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ

He said, 'And have you considered what you have been serving,

أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَاۤؤُكُمُ ٱلۡأَقۡدَمُونَ

you and your fathers, the elders?

فَإِنَّهُمۡ عَدُوࣱّ لِّیۤ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

They are an enemy to me, except the Lord of all Being

ٱلَّذِی خَلَقَنِی فَهُوَ یَهۡدِینِ

who created me, and Himself guides me,

وَٱلَّذِی هُوَ یُطۡعِمُنِی وَیَسۡقِینِ

and Himself gives me to eat and drink,

وَإِذَا مَرِضۡتُ فَهُوَ یَشۡفِینِ

and, whenever I am sick, heals me,

وَٱلَّذِی یُمِیتُنِی ثُمَّ یُحۡیِینِ

who makes me to die, then gives me life,

وَٱلَّذِیۤ أَطۡمَعُ أَن یَغۡفِرَ لِی خَطِیۤـَٔتِی یَوۡمَ ٱلدِّینِ

and who I am eager shall forgive me my offence on the Day of Doom.

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِی حُكۡمࣰا وَأَلۡحِقۡنِی بِٱلصَّـٰلِحِینَ

My Lord, give me Judgment, and join me with the righteous,

وَٱجۡعَل لِّی لِسَانَ صِدۡقࣲ فِی ٱلۡـَٔاخِرِینَ

and appoint me a tongue of truthfulness among the others.

وَٱجۡعَلۡنِی مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِیمِ

Make me one of the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss

وَٱغۡفِرۡ لِأَبِیۤ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّاۤلِّینَ

and forgive my father, for he is one of those astray.

وَلَا تُخۡزِنِی یَوۡمَ یُبۡعَثُونَ

Degrade me not upon the day when they are raised up,

یَوۡمَ لَا یَنفَعُ مَالࣱ وَلَا بَنُونَ

the day when neither wealth nor sons shall profit

إِلَّا مَنۡ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلۡبࣲ سَلِیمࣲ

except for him who comes to God with a pure heart.

وَأُزۡلِفَتِ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِینَ

And Paradise shall be brought forward for the godfearing,

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِیمُ لِلۡغَاوِینَ

and Hell advanced for the perverse.

وَقِیلَ لَهُمۡ أَیۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ

It shall be said to them, 'Where is that you were serving

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلۡ یَنصُرُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ یَنتَصِرُونَ

apart from God? Do they help you or help themselves?'

فَكُبۡكِبُوا۟ فِیهَا هُمۡ وَٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ

Then they shall be pitched into it, they and the perverse

وَجُنُودُ إِبۡلِیسَ أَجۡمَعُونَ

and the hosts of Iblis, all together.

قَالُوا۟ وَهُمۡ فِیهَا یَخۡتَصِمُونَ

They shall say, as they dispute there one with another,

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِی ضَلَـٰلࣲ مُّبِینٍ

'By God, we were certainly in manifest error

إِذۡ نُسَوِّیكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

when we made you equal with the Lord of all Being.

وَمَاۤ أَضَلَّنَاۤ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ

It was naught but the sinners that led us astray;

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَـٰفِعِینَ

so now we have no intercessors,

وَلَا صَدِیقٍ حَمِیمࣲ

no loyal friend.

فَلَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةࣰ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

O that we might return again, and be among the believers!'

إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ لَـَٔایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ

Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ

The people of Noah cried lies to the Envoys

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

when their brother Noah said to them, 'Will you not be godfearing?

إِنِّی لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِینࣱ

I am for you a faithful Messenger,

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ

so serve you God, and obey you me.

وَمَاۤ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

I ask of you no wage for this; my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being;

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ

so fear you God, and obey you me.'

۞ قَالُوۤا۟ أَنُؤۡمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلۡأَرۡذَلُونَ

They said, 'Shall we believe thee, whom the vilest follow?'

قَالَ وَمَا عِلۡمِی بِمَا كَانُوا۟ یَعۡمَلُونَ

He said, 'What knowledge have I of that they have been doing?

إِنۡ حِسَابُهُمۡ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّیۖ لَوۡ تَشۡعُرُونَ

Their account falls only upon my Lord, were you but aware.

وَمَاۤ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

I would not drive away the believers;

إِنۡ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِیرࣱ مُّبِینࣱ

'I am naught but a plain warner.'

قَالُوا۟ لَىِٕن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ یَـٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَرۡجُومِینَ

They said, 'If thou givest not over, Noah, thou shalt assuredly be one of the stoned.'

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوۡمِی كَذَّبُونِ

He said, 'My Lord, my people have cried me lies,

فَٱفۡتَحۡ بَیۡنِی وَبَیۡنَهُمۡ فَتۡحࣰا وَنَجِّنِی وَمَن مَّعِیَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

so give true deliverance between me and them, and deliver me and the believers that are with me.

فَأَنجَیۡنَـٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِی ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ

So We delivered him, and those with him, in the laden ship,

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا بَعۡدُ ٱلۡبَاقِینَ

then afterwards We drowned the rest.

إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ لَـَٔایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ

Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

كَذَّبَتۡ عَادٌ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ

Ad cried lies to the Envoys

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

when their brother Hood said to them, 'Will you not be godfearing?

إِنِّی لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِینࣱ

I am for you a faithful Messenger,

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ

so fear you God, and obey you me.

وَمَاۤ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

I ask of you no wage for this; my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being.

أَتَبۡنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِیعٍ ءَایَةࣰ تَعۡبَثُونَ

What, do you build on every prominence a sign, sporting,

وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَخۡلُدُونَ

and do you take to you castles, haply to dwell forever?

وَإِذَا بَطَشۡتُم بَطَشۡتُمۡ جَبَّارِینَ

When you assault, you assault like tyrants!

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ

So fear you God, and obey you me;

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِیۤ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعۡلَمُونَ

and fear Him who has succoured you with what you know,

أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنۡعَـٰمࣲ وَبَنِینَ

succoured you with flocks and sons,

وَجَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونٍ

gardens and fountains.

إِنِّیۤ أَخَافُ عَلَیۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ یَوۡمٍ عَظِیمࣲ

'Indeed, I fear for you the chastisement of a dreadful day.'

قَالُوا۟ سَوَاۤءٌ عَلَیۡنَاۤ أَوَعَظۡتَ أَمۡ لَمۡ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡوَ ٰ⁠عِظِینَ

They said, 'Alike it is to us, whether thou admonishest, or art not one of the admonishers;

إِنۡ هَـٰذَاۤ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

this is nothing but the habit of the ancients,

وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِینَ

and we shall not be chastised.'

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهۡلَكۡنَـٰهُمۡۚ إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ لَـَٔایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ

So they cried him lies; then We destroyed them. Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ

Thamood cried lies to the Envoys

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ صَـٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

when their brother Salih said to them, 'Will you not be godfearing?

إِنِّی لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِینࣱ

I am for you a faithful Messenger,

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ

so fear you God, and obey you me.'

وَمَاۤ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

'I ask of you no wage for this; my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being.

أَتُتۡرَكُونَ فِی مَا هَـٰهُنَاۤ ءَامِنِینَ

Will you be left secure in this here,

فِی جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونࣲ

among gardens and fountains,

وَزُرُوعࣲ وَنَخۡلࣲ طَلۡعُهَا هَضِیمࣱ

sown fields, and palms with slender spathes?

وَتَنۡحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ بُیُوتࣰا فَـٰرِهِینَ

Will you still skilfully hew houses out of the mountains?

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ

So fear you God, and obey you me;

وَلَا تُطِیعُوۤا۟ أَمۡرَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِینَ

and obey not the commandment of the prodigal

ٱلَّذِینَ یُفۡسِدُونَ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا یُصۡلِحُونَ

who do corruption in the earth, and set not things aright.'

قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّمَاۤ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَحَّرِینَ

They said, 'Thou art merely one of those that are bewitched;

مَاۤ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرࣱ مِّثۡلُنَا فَأۡتِ بِـَٔایَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِینَ

thou art naught but a mortal, like us; then produce a sign, if thou art one of the truthful.'

قَالَ هَـٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةࣱ لَّهَا شِرۡبࣱ وَلَكُمۡ شِرۡبُ یَوۡمࣲ مَّعۡلُومࣲ

He said, 'This is a she-camel; to her a draught and to you a draught, on a day appointed,

وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوۤءࣲ فَیَأۡخُذَكُمۡ عَذَابُ یَوۡمٍ عَظِیمࣲ

and do not touch her with malice so that there seize you the chastisement of a dreadful day.'

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصۡبَحُوا۟ نَـٰدِمِینَ

But they hamstrung her, and in the morning they were remorseful,

فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُۚ إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ لَـَٔایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ

and the chastisement seized them. Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ لُوطٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ

The people of Lot cried lies to the Envoys

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

when their brother Lot said to them, 'Will you not be godfearing?

إِنِّی لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِینࣱ

I am for you a faithful Messenger,

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ

so fear you God, and obey you me.

وَمَاۤ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

I ask of you no wage for this; my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being.

أَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلذُّكۡرَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

What, do you come to male beings,

وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمۡ رَبُّكُم مِّنۡ أَزۡوَ ٰ⁠جِكُمۚ بَلۡ أَنتُمۡ قَوۡمٌ عَادُونَ

leaving your wives that your Lord created for you? Nay, but you are a people of transgressors.

قَالُوا۟ لَىِٕن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ یَـٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمُخۡرَجِینَ

They said, 'If thou givest not over, Lot, thou shalt assuredly be one of the expelled.'

قَالَ إِنِّی لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقَالِینَ

He said, 'Truly I am a detester of what you do.

رَبِّ نَجِّنِی وَأَهۡلِی مِمَّا یَعۡمَلُونَ

My Lord, deliver me and my people from that they do.'

فَنَجَّیۡنَـٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥۤ أَجۡمَعِینَ

So We delivered him and his people all together,

إِلَّا عَجُوزࣰا فِی ٱلۡغَـٰبِرِینَ

save an old woman among those that tarried;

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡـَٔاخَرِینَ

then We destroyed the others,

وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَیۡهِم مَّطَرࣰاۖ فَسَاۤءَ مَطَرُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِینَ

and We rained on them a rain; and evil is the rain of them that are warned.

إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ لَـَٔایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ

Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

كَذَّبَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ لۡـَٔیۡكَةِ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ

The men of the Thicket cried lies to the Envoys

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ شُعَیۡبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

when Shuaib said to them, 'Will you not be godfearing?

إِنِّی لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِینࣱ

I am for you a faithful Messenger, so fear you God, and obey you me.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ

I ask of you no wage for this;

وَمَاۤ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being.

۞ أَوۡفُوا۟ ٱلۡكَیۡلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلۡمُخۡسِرِینَ

Fill up the measure, and be not cheaters,

وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلۡقِسۡطَاسِ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِیمِ

and weigh with the straight balance,

وَلَا تَبۡخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشۡیَاۤءَهُمۡ وَلَا تَعۡثَوۡا۟ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُفۡسِدِینَ

and diminish not the goods of the people, and do not mischief in the earth, working corruption.

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِی خَلَقَكُمۡ وَٱلۡجِبِلَّةَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

Fear Him who created you, and the generations of the ancients.'

قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّمَاۤ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَحَّرِینَ

They said, 'Thou art merely one of those that are bewitched;

وَمَاۤ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرࣱ مِّثۡلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡكَـٰذِبِینَ

thou art naught but a mortal, like us; indeed, we think that thou art one of the liars.

فَأَسۡقِطۡ عَلَیۡنَا كِسَفࣰا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِینَ

Then drop down on us lumps from heaven, if thou art one of the truthful.'

قَالَ رَبِّیۤ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

He said, 'My Lord knows very well what you are doing.'

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمۡ عَذَابُ یَوۡمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ یَوۡمٍ عَظِیمٍ

But they cried him lies; then there seized them the chastisement of the Day of Shadow; assuredly it was the chastisement of a dreadful day.

إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ لَـَٔایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ

Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِیلُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

Truly it is the revelation of the Lord of all Being,

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلۡأَمِینُ

brought down by the Faithful Spirit

عَلَىٰ قَلۡبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنذِرِینَ

upon thy heart, that thou mayest be one of the warners,

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِیࣲّ مُّبِینࣲ

in a clear, Arabic tongue.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِی زُبُرِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

Truly it is in the Scriptures of the ancients.

أَوَلَمۡ یَكُن لَّهُمۡ ءَایَةً أَن یَعۡلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَـٰۤؤُا۟ بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰ⁠ۤءِیلَ

Was it not a sign for them, that it is known to the learned of the Children of Israel?

وَلَوۡ نَزَّلۡنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضِ ٱلۡأَعۡجَمِینَ

If We had sent it down on a barbarian

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَیۡهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنِینَ

and he had recited it to them, they would not have believed in it.

كَذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ سَلَكۡنَـٰهُ فِی قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ

Even so We have caused it to enter into the hearts of the sinners,

لَا یُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ یَرَوُا۟ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِیمَ

who will not believe in it, until they see the painful chastisement

فَیَأۡتِیَهُم بَغۡتَةࣰ وَهُمۡ لَا یَشۡعُرُونَ

so that it will come upon them suddenly, while they are not aware,

فَیَقُولُوا۟ هَلۡ نَحۡنُ مُنظَرُونَ

and they will say, 'Shall we be respited?'

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا یَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

What, do they seek to hasten Our chastisement?

أَفَرَءَیۡتَ إِن مَّتَّعۡنَـٰهُمۡ سِنِینَ

What thinkest thou? If We give them enjoyment of days for many years,

ثُمَّ جَاۤءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ یُوعَدُونَ

then there comes on them that they were promised,

مَاۤ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ یُمَتَّعُونَ

what will it then avail them, the enjoyment of days they were given?

وَمَاۤ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡیَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ

Never a city We destroyed, but it had warners

ذِكۡرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِینَ

for a reminder; and never did We wrong.

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتۡ بِهِ ٱلشَّیَـٰطِینُ

Not by the Satans has it been brought down;

وَمَا یَنۢبَغِی لَهُمۡ وَمَا یَسۡتَطِیعُونَ

it behoves them not, neither are they able.

إِنَّهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّمۡعِ لَمَعۡزُولُونَ

Truly, they are expelled from hearing.

فَلَا تَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُعَذَّبِینَ

So call thou not upon another god with God, lest thou shouldst be one of those that are chastised.

وَأَنذِرۡ عَشِیرَتَكَ ٱلۡأَقۡرَبِینَ

And warn thy clan, thy nearest kin.

وَٱخۡفِضۡ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

Lower thy wing to those who follow thee, being believers;

فَإِنۡ عَصَوۡكَ فَقُلۡ إِنِّی بَرِیۤءࣱ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ

then, if they disobey thee, say, 'I am quit of that you do.'

وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱلۡعَزِیزِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ

Put thy trust in the All-mighty, the All-compassionate

ٱلَّذِی یَرَىٰكَ حِینَ تَقُومُ

who sees thee when thou standest

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِی ٱلسَّـٰجِدِینَ

and when thou turnest about among those who bow.

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِیعُ ٱلۡعَلِیمُ

Surely He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing.

هَلۡ أُنَبِّئُكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّیَـٰطِینُ

Shall I tell you on whom the Satans come down?

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِیمࣲ

They come down on every guilty impostor.

یُلۡقُونَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ كَـٰذِبُونَ

They give ear, but most of them are liars.

وَٱلشُّعَرَاۤءُ یَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ

And the poets -- the perverse follow them;

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِی كُلِّ وَادࣲ یَهِیمُونَ

hast thou not seen how they wander in every valley

وَأَنَّهُمۡ یَقُولُونَ مَا لَا یَفۡعَلُونَ

and how they say that which they do not?

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِیرࣰا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ۗ وَسَیَعۡلَمُ ٱلَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوۤا۟ أَیَّ مُنقَلَبࣲ یَنقَلِبُونَ

Save those that believe, and do righteous deeds, and remember God oft, and help themselves after being wronged; and those who do wrong shall surely know by what overturning they will he overturned.
