In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.
Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem
Drawn nigh to men has their reckoning, while they in heedlessness are turning away;
Iqtaraba linnasi hisabuhumwahum fee ghaflatin muAAridoon
No remembrance from their Lord comes to them anew but they listen to it while they play,
Ma ya/teehim min thikrin minrabbihim muhdathin illa istamaAAoohu wahumyalAAaboon
Their hearts distracted. And those who do wrong conceal their private conversation: “Is this save a mortal like you? Will you go to sorcery with open eyes?”
Lahiyatan quloobuhum waasarroo annajwaallatheena thalamoo hal hatha illabasharun mithlukum afata/toona assihra waantum tubsiroon
Say thou: “My Lord knows what is said in the heaven and the earth; and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.”
Qala rabbee yaAAlamu alqawla fee assama-iwal-ardi wahuwa assameeAAu alAAaleem
“But,” — they say — “a confused medley of dreams; but he has invented it; but he is a poet. So let him bring us a proof like that sent to the former peoples!”
Bal qaloo adghathu ahlaminbali iftarahu bal huwa shaAAirun falya/tinabi-ayatin kama orsila al-awwaloon
No city believed before them among those We destroyed; will they then believe?
Ma amanat qablahum min qaryatinahlaknaha afahum yu/minoon
And We sent before thee only men to whom We revealed — and ask the people of the remembrance, if you know not —
Wama arsalna qablaka illarijalan noohee ilayhim fas-aloo ahla aththikriin kuntum la taAAlamoon
And We gave them not bodies that ate not food, nor were they immortals;
Wama jaAAalnahum jasadan laya/kuloona attaAAama wama kanookhalideen
Then fulfilled We the promise to them, and delivered them and whom We wished, and destroyed the committers of excess.
Thumma sadaqnahumu alwaAAdafaanjaynahum waman nashao waahlaknaalmusrifeen
We have sent down to you a Writ wherein is your remembrance; will you then not use reason!
Laqad anzalna ilaykum kitabanfeehi thikrukum afala taAAqiloon
And how many a city that was doing wrong did We utterly destroy, and produced after it another people!
Wakam qasamna min qaryatin kanatthalimatan waansha/na baAAdahaqawman akhareen
And when they perceived Our might, then did they flee from it.
Falamma ahassoo ba/sanaitha hum minha yarkudoon
“Flee not! But return to that wherein you were given opulence, and your dwellings, that you might be questioned.”
La tarkudoo warjiAAooila ma otriftum feehi wamasakinikumlaAAallakum tus-aloon
They said: “Woe is us! We were wrongdoers.”
Qaloo ya waylana innakunna thalimeen
And that, their call, ceased not until We made them a harvest, extinguished.
Fama zalat tilka daAAwahumhatta jaAAalnahum haseedan khamideen
And We created not the heaven and the earth and what is between them in play.
Wama khalaqna assamaawal-arda wama baynahuma laAAibeen
Had We wished to take a diversion, We would have taken it from Ourselves — if We are the doers.
Law aradna an nattakhithalahwan lattakhathnahu min ladunna inkunna faAAileen
But We hurl the truth against vanity and it triumphs over it, and then it passes away. And woe to you for what you describe!
Bal naqthifu bilhaqqiAAala albatili fayadmaghuhu fa-itha huwa zahiqunwalakumu alwaylu mimma tasifoon
And to Him belongs whoso is in the heavens and the earth; and those in His presence are not too proud for His service, nor do they grow weary,
Walahu man fee assamawatiwal-ardi waman AAindahu la yastakbiroonaAAan AAibadatihi wala yastahsiroon
They give glory night and day, and they flag not.
Yusabbihoona allayla wannaharala yafturoon
If they have taken gods from the earth who resurrect:
Ami ittakhathoo alihatan minaal-ardi hum yunshiroon
Were there in them gods save God, they would have been corrupted; and glory be to God, the Lord of the Throne, above what they describe!
Law kana feehima alihatunilla Allahu lafasadata fasubhana Allahirabbi alAAarshi AAamma yasifoon
He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.
La yus-alu AAamma yafAAaluwahum yus-aloon
If they have taken gods besides Him, say thou: “Bring your evidence. This is the remembrance of him with me, and the remembrance of him before me.” But most of them know not the truth, so they are turning away.
Ami ittakhathoo min doonihi alihatanqul hatoo burhanakum hatha thikru manmaAAiya wathikru man qablee bal aktharuhum layaAAlamoona alhaqqa fahum muAAridoon
And We sent not before thee any messenger save We revealed to him that: “There is no god save I; so serve Me.”
Wama arsalna min qablika minrasoolin illa noohee ilayhi annahu la ilahailla ana faAAbudoon
And they say: “The Almighty has taken a son.” Glory be to Him! But honoured servants
Waqaloo ittakhatha arrahmanuwaladan subhanahu bal AAibadun mukramoon
Precede Him not in word, but they act by His command.
La yasbiqoonahu bilqawliwahum bi-amrihi yaAAmaloon
He knows what is before them, and what following them, and they intercede not save for him with whom He is pleased; and they are from fear of Him in dread.
YaAAlamu ma bayna aydeehim wamakhalfahum wala yashfaAAoona illa limani irtadawahum min khashyatihi mushfiqoon
And whoso among them says: “I am a god besides Him!” — then that: We reward him with Gehenna; thus reward We the wrongdoers.
Waman yaqul minhum innee ilahun mindoonihi fathalika najzeehi jahannama kathalikanajzee aththalimeen
Have not those who ignore warning considered that the heavens and the earth were stitched together, then We ripped them apart and made of water every living thing? Will they then not believe!
Awa lam yara allatheenakafaroo anna assamawati wal-ardakanata ratqan fafataqnahuma wajaAAalnamina alma-i kulla shay-in hayyin afalayu/minoon
And We made in the earth firm mountains lest it sway with them; and We made therein mountain passes as ways, that they might be guided;
WajaAAalna fee al-ardi rawasiyaan tameeda bihim wajaAAalna feeha fijajansubulan laAAallahum yahtadoon
And We made the sky a roof protected; but they, from its proofs, are turning away.
WajaAAalna assamaasaqfan mahfoothan wahum AAan ayatihamuAAridoon
And He it is that created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, each in a circuit swimming.
Wahuwa allathee khalaqa allayla wannaharawashshamsa walqamara kullun fee falakin yasbahoon
And We appointed not eternity for a mortal before thee; if then thou wilt die, then are they eternal?
Wama jaAAalna libasharin minqablika alkhulda afa-in mitta fahumu alkhalidoon
Every soul will taste death; and We will try you with evil and good as a means of denial; and to Us will you be returned.
Kullu nafsin tha-iqatu almawtiwanablookum bishsharri walkhayri fitnatanwa-ilayna turjaAAoon
And when those who ignore warning see thee, they take thee only in mockery: “Is this he who mentions your gods!” And they — of the remembrance of the Almighty — they are deniers.
Wa-itha raaka allatheenakafaroo in yattakhithoonaka illa huzuwan ahathaallathee yathkuru alihatakum wahum bithikriarrahmani hum kafiroon
Man was created of haste. I will show you My proofs, so ask Me not to make haste.
Khuliqa al-insanu min AAajalinsaoreekum ayatee fala tastaAAjiloon
And they say: “When is this promise, if you be truthful?”
Wayaqooloona mata hathaalwaAAdu in kuntum sadiqeen
If those who ignore warning but knew the time when they will not restrain the Fire from their faces, nor from their backs, nor will they be helped!
Law yaAAlamu allatheena kafaroo heenala yakuffoona AAan wujoohihimu annara walaAAan thuhoorihim wala hum yunsaroon
But it will come upon them unexpectedly, and render them speechless, and they will be unable to repel it, nor will they be granted respite.
Bal ta/teehim baghtatan fatabhatuhum falayastateeAAoona raddaha wala hum yuntharoon
And messengers were mocked before thee; then there surrounded those who derided them that whereat they mocked.
Walaqadi istuhzi-a birusulin min qablika fahaqabillatheena sakhiroo minhum ma kanoobihi yastahzi-oon
Say thou: “Who can protect you by night and day from the Almighty?” But they, from the remembrance of their Lord, are turning away.
Qul man yaklaokum billayli wannaharimina arrahmani bal hum AAan thikrirabbihim muAAridoon
If they have gods to defend them besides Us: they are unable to help themselves, nor are they protected from Us.
Am lahum alihatun tamnaAAuhum mindoonina la yastateeAAoona nasraanfusihim wala hum minna yushaboon
But We gave these and their fathers enjoyment until life became long for them. Have they then not considered that We come to the earth, diminishing it from its extremities? Is it then they who will be the victors?
Bal mattaAAna haola-iwaabaahum hatta talaAAalayhimu alAAumuru afala yarawna anna na/teeal-arda nanqusuha min atrafihaafahumu alghaliboon
Say thou: “I but warn you by revelation.” But the deaf hear not the call when they are warned.
Qul innama onthirukum bilwahyiwala yasmaAAu assummu adduAAaaitha ma yuntharoon
And if there touch them a hint of the punishment of thy Lord, they will say: “Woe is us! We were wrongdoers.”
Wala-in massat-hum nafhatun min AAathabirabbika layaqoolunna ya waylana inna kunnathalimeen
And We will set up the balances of equity for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be wronged in anything; and though it be the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it. And sufficient are We as account-takers.
WanadaAAu almawazeena alqistaliyawmi alqiyamati fala tuthlamunafsun shay-an wa-in kana mithqala habbatinmin khardalin atayna biha wakafa binahasibeen
And We gave Moses and Aaron the Division, and an illumination, and a remembrance for those of prudent fear:
Walaqad atayna moosawaharoona alfurqana wadiyaan wathikranlilmuttaqeen
Those who fear their Lord unseen, and are of the Hour in dread.
Allatheena yakhshawna rabbahum bilghaybiwahum mina assaAAati mushfiqoon
And this is a blessed remembrance We sent down. Will you then not recognise it?
Wahatha thikrun mubarakunanzalnahu afaantum lahu munkiroon
And We gave Abraham his sound judgment before; and We knew him
Walaqad atayna ibraheemarushdahu min qablu wakunna bihi AAalimeen
When he said to his father and his people: “What are these statues to which you are devoted?”
Ith qala li-abeehi waqawmihi mahathihi attamatheelu allatee antum lahaAAakifoon
They said: “We found our fathers serving them.”
Qaloo wajadna abaanalaha AAabideen
He said: “You and your fathers have been in manifest error.”
Qala laqad kuntum antum waabaokumfee dalalin mubeen
They said: “Hast thou come to us with the truth, or art thou of those who play?”
Qaloo aji/tana bilhaqqiam anta mina allaAAibeen
He said: “But your Lord is the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth who created them, and I am of those who bear witness to that.
Qala bal rabbukum rabbu assamawatiwal-ardi allathee fatarahunna waanaAAala thalikum mina ashshahideen
“And, by God, I will plan against your idols, after you have turned and gone!”
Watallahi laakeedanna asnamakumbaAAda an tuwalloo mudbireen
And he made them into pieces save a great one they had, that they might return to it.
FajaAAalahum juthathan illakabeeran lahum laAAallahum ilayhi yarjiAAoon
They said: “Who has done this to our gods, he is surely of the wrongdoers!”
Qaloo man faAAala hatha bi-alihatinainnahu lamina aththalimeen
They said: “We heard a youth make mention of them; he is called Abraham.”
Qaloo samiAAna fatan yathkuruhumyuqalu lahu ibraheem
They said: “Then bring him before the eyes of the people, that they might bear witness.”
Qaloo fa/too bihi AAalaaAAyuni annasi laAAallahum yashhadoon
They said: “Didst thou this to our gods, O Abraham?”
Qaloo aanta faAAalta hatha bi-alihatinaya ibraheem
He said: “But this their great one did it; so ask them, if they speak.”
Qala bal faAAalahu kabeeruhum hathafas-aloohum in kanoo yantiqoon
And they returned to themselves and said: “It is you who are the wrongdoers.”
FarajaAAoo ila anfusihim faqalooinnakum antumu aththalimoon
Then they went back on themselves: “Thou knewest that these speak not.”
Thumma nukisoo AAala ruoosihim laqadAAalimta ma haola-i yantiqoon
He said: “Then serve you, besides God, what can neither benefit you at all nor harm you?
Qala afataAAbudoona min dooni Allahima la yanfaAAukum shay-an wala yadurrukum
“Fie upon you and all that you serve besides God! Will you then not use reason!”
Offin lakum walima taAAbudoona mindooni Allahi afala taAAqiloon
They said: “Burn him, and support your gods, if you are doers!”
Qaloo harriqoohu wansurooalihatakum in kuntum faAAileen
We said: “O fire: be thou coolness and safety upon Abraham.”
Qulna ya naru kooneebardan wasalaman AAala ibraheem
And they desired a plan for him, but We made them the greatest losers,
Waaradoo bihi kaydan fajaAAalnahumual-akhsareen
And We delivered him and Lot to the land We had blessed for all mankind.
Wanajjaynahu walootan ilaal-ardi allatee barakna feeha lilAAalameen
And We gave him Isaac, and Jacob in addition; and each We made righteous,
Wawahabna lahu ishaqawayaAAqooba nafilatan wakullan jaAAalna saliheen
And We made them leaders, guiding by Our command, and revealed to them the doing of good deeds, and the upholding of duty, and the rendering of the purity; and Us they served.

And We made him enter into Our mercy; he was among the righteous.
Waadkhalnahu fee rahmatinainnahu mina assaliheen

Wadawooda wasulaymana ithyahkumani fee alharthi ith nafashatfeehi ghanamu alqawmi wakunna lihukmihim shahideen

Waayyooba ith nadarabbahu annee massaniya addurru waanta arhamuarrahimeen

La yasmaAAoona haseesahawahum fee ma ishtahat anfusuhum khalidoon
The greatest terror will not grieve them, and the angels will receive them: — “This is your day which you were promised” —
