سورة الحجر

15. Surah Al-Hijr
The Rock

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

alif lām rā Those are the proofs of the Writ and of a clear recitation.

الٓـرٰ۠ تِلْكَ اٰيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ وَقُرْاٰنٍ مُب۪ينٍ

Alif-lam-ra tilka ayatualkitabi waqur-anin mubeen

Perchance those who ignore warning will wish they were submitting;

رُبَمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كَانُوا مُسْلِم۪ينَ

Rubama yawaddu allatheenakafaroo law kanoo muslimeen

Leave thou them to eat and enjoy themselves while hope diverts them; and they will come to know.

ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا وَيَتَمَتَّعُوا وَيُلْهِهِمُ الْاَمَلُ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

Tharhum ya/kuloo wayatamattaAAoowayulhihimu al-amalu fasawfa yaAAlamoon

And We destroyed no city save it had a known writ;

وَمَٓا اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ اِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَعْلُومٌ

Wama ahlakna min qaryatin illawalaha kitabun maAAloom

No community outstrips its term, nor will they defer.

مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ اُمَّةٍ اَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ

Ma tasbiqu min ommatin ajalahawama yasta/khiroon

And they say: “O thou upon whom the remembrance has been sent down: thou art possessed.

وَقَالُوا يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ي نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ اِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌۜ

Waqaloo ya ayyuha allatheenuzzila AAalayhi aththikru innaka lamajnoon

“Why bringest thou not the angels to us, if thou be of the truthful?”

لَوْ مَا تَأْت۪ينَا بِالْمَلٰٓئِكَةِ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِق۪ينَ

Law ma ta/teena bilmala-ikatiin kunta mina assadiqeen

We send down the angels only with justice, and then are they not granted respite.

مَا نُنَزِّلُ الْمَلٰٓئِكَةَ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُٓوا اِذاً مُنْظَر۪ينَ

Ma nunazzilu almala-ikata illabilhaqqi wama kanoo ithan munthareen

We sent down the remembrance, and We are its custodian.

اِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَاِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ

Inna nahnu nazzalna aththikrawa-inna lahu lahafithoon

And We sent before thee, among the sects of the former peoples,

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ ف۪ي شِيَعِ الْاَوَّل۪ينَ

Walaqad arsalna min qablika feeshiyaAAi al-awwaleen

And there came not to them any messenger but they mocked him;

وَمَا يَأْت۪يهِمْ مِنْ رَسُولٍ اِلَّا كَانُوا بِه۪ يَسْتَهْزِؤُ۫نَ

Wama ya/teehim min rasoolin illakanoo bihi yastahzi-oon

Thus do We insert it in the hearts of the lawbreakers:

كَذٰلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُ ف۪ي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِم۪ينَۙ

Kathalika naslukuhu fee quloobialmujrimeen

They believe not in it; and the practice of the former peoples has passed away.

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِه۪ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ الْاَوَّل۪ينَ

La yu/minoona bihi waqad khalatsunnatu al-awwaleen

And had We opened above them a gate of the sky and they continued ascending therein

وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَاباً مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ فَظَلُّوا ف۪يهِ يَعْرُجُونَۙ

Walaw fatahna AAalayhim babanmina assama-i fathalloo feehiyaAArujoon

They would say: “Our sight is but intoxicated; nay, we are a people taken by sorcery.”

لَقَالُٓوا اِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ اَبْصَارُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَسْحُورُونَ۟

Laqaloo innama sukkirat absarunabal nahnu qawmun mashooroon

And We have set in the sky constellations, and made them fair for the beholders,

وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِي السَّمَٓاءِ بُرُوجاً وَزَيَّنَّاهَا لِلنَّاظِر۪ينَۙ

Walaqad jaAAalna fee assama-iburoojan wazayyannaha linnathireen

And guarded them from every accursed satan

وَحَفِظْنَاهَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ رَج۪يمٍۙ

Wahafithnahamin kulli shaytanin rajeem

Save such as steals a hearing; and a clear flame follows him.

اِلَّا مَنِ اسْتَرَقَ السَّمْعَ فَاَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ مُب۪ينٌ

Illa mani istaraqa assamAAafaatbaAAahu shihabun mubeen

And the earth, We spread it out and cast therein firm mountains, and caused to grow therein every balanced thing,

وَالْاَرْضَ مَدَدْنَاهَا وَاَلْقَيْنَا ف۪يهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَاَنْبَتْنَا ف۪يهَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مَوْزُونٍ

Wal-arda madadnahawaalqayna feeha rawasiya waanbatnafeeha min kulli shay-in mawzoon

And We made therein livelihoods, for you and those for whom you are not providers.

وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ ف۪يهَا مَعَايِشَ وَمَنْ لَسْتُمْ لَهُ بِرَازِق۪ينَ

WajaAAalna lakum feeha maAAayishawaman lastum lahu biraziqeen

And of any thing, with Us only are the treasuries thereof; and We send it down only in known measure.

وَاِنْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ اِلَّا عِنْدَنَا خَزَٓائِنُهُۘ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُـهُٓ اِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَعْلُومٍ

Wa-in min shay-in illa AAindanakhaza-inuhu wama nunazziluhu illa biqadarinmaAAloom

And We sent the fecundating winds, and sent down water from the sky, and gave it to you to drink; and it is not you who are its treasurers.

وَاَرْسَلْنَا الرِّيَاحَ لَوَاقِـحَ فَاَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ مَٓاءً فَاَسْقَيْنَاكُمُوهُۚ وَمَٓا اَنْتُمْ لَهُ بِخَازِن۪ينَ

Waarsalna arriyaha lawaqihafaanzalna mina assama-i maanfaasqaynakumoohu wama antum lahu bikhazineen

And We give life, and We give death; and We are the inheritor.

وَاِنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْـي۪ وَنُم۪يتُ وَنَحْنُ الْوَارِثُونَ

Wa-inna lanahnu nuhyeewanumeetu wanahnu alwarithoon

And We know those who press forward among you; and We know those who lag behind.

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَقْدِم۪ينَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَأْخِر۪ينَ

Walaqad AAalimna almustaqdimeenaminkum walaqad AAalimna almusta/khireen

And thy Lord, He will gather them; He is wise and knowing.

وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحْشُرُهُمْۜ اِنَّهُ حَك۪يمٌ عَل۪يمٌ۟

Wa-inna rabbaka huwa yahshuruhuminnahu hakeemun AAaleem

And We created man from sounding clay, from dark slime transmuted.

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِنْ حَمَأٍ مَسْنُونٍۚ

Walaqad khalaqna al-insana minsalsalin min hama-in masnoon

And the demon dominus created We before of the fire of scorching wind.

وَالْجَٓانَّ خَلَقْنَاهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ مِنْ نَارِ السَّمُومِ

Waljanna khalaqnahumin qablu min nari assamoom

And when thy Lord said to the angels: “I am creating a mortal from sounding clay, from dark slime transmuted,

وَاِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلٰٓئِكَةِ اِنّ۪ي خَالِقٌ بَشَراً مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِنْ حَمَأٍ مَسْنُونٍ

Wa-ith qala rabbuka lilmala-ikatiinnee khaliqun basharan min salsalin min hama-inmasnoon

“And when I have formed him and breathed into him of My Spirit, then fall down, to him in submission,”

فَاِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ ف۪يهِ مِنْ رُوح۪ي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِد۪ينَ

Fa-itha sawwaytuhu wanafakhtu feehimin roohee faqaAAoo lahu sajideen

Then the angels submitted, all of them together.

فَسَجَدَ الْمَلٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ اَجْمَعُونَۙ

Fasajada almala-ikatu kulluhumajmaAAoon

Not so Iblīs; he refused to be with those who submit.

اِلَّٓا اِبْل۪يسَۜ اَبٰٓى اَنْ يَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِد۪ينَ

Illa ibleesa aba an yakoonamaAAa assajideen

He said: “O Iblīs: what ails thee that thou art not with those who submit?”

قَالَ يَٓا اِبْل۪يسُ مَا لَكَ اَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِد۪ينَ

Qala ya ibleesu ma lakaalla takoona maAAa assajideen

Said he: “I am not one to submit to a mortal whom Thou hast created from sounding clay, from dark slime transmuted.”

قَالَ لَمْ اَكُنْ لِاَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِنْ حَمَأٍ مَسْنُونٍ

Qala lam akun li-asjuda libasharinkhalaqtahu min salsalin min hama-in masnoon

He said: “Then go thou forth from it, for thou art accursed.

قَالَ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَاِنَّكَ رَج۪يمٌ

Qala fakhruj minhafa-innaka rajeem

“And the curse is upon thee until the Day of Judgment.”

وَاِنَّ عَلَيْكَ اللَّعْنَةَ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الدّ۪ينِ

Wa-inna AAalayka allaAAnata ila yawmiaddeen

Said he: “My Lord: grant Thou me respite until the day they are raised.”

قَالَ رَبِّ فَاَنْظِرْن۪ٓي اِلٰى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

Qala rabbi faanthirneeila yawmi yubAAathoon

He said: “Thou art of those granted respite

قَالَ فَاِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنْظَر۪ينَۙ

Qala fa-innaka mina almunthareen

“Until the day of the known time.”

اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُومِ

Ila yawmi alwaqti almaAAloom

Said he: “My Lord: because Thou hast caused me to err, I will make it fair to them in the earth; and I will cause them to err all together,

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَٓا اَغْوَيْتَن۪ي لَاُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَلَاُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ اَجْمَع۪ينَۙ

Qala rabbi bima aghwaytaneelaozayyinanna lahum fee al-ardi walaoghwiyannahumajmaAAeen

He said: “This is a straight path to Me:

قَالَ هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ عَلَيَّ مُسْتَق۪يمٌ

Qala hatha siratunAAalayya mustaqeem

“My servants — thou hast no authority over them save those who follow thee among those who err,

اِنَّ عِبَاد۪ي لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَانٌ اِلَّا مَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْغَاو۪ينَ

Inna AAibadee laysa laka AAalayhimsultanun illa mani ittabaAAaka mina alghaween

“And Gehenna is their promised place all together.

وَاِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ اَجْمَع۪ينَۙ

Wa-inna jahannama lamawAAiduhum ajmaAAeen

“It has seven gates; and for each gate is a portion assigned.”

لَهَا سَبْعَةُ اَبْوَابٍۜ لِكُلِّ بَابٍ مِنْهُمْ جُزْءٌ مَقْسُومٌ۟

Laha sabAAatu abwabin likullibabin minhum juz-on maqsoom

Those who are in prudent fear will be among gardens and springs:

اِنَّ الْمُتَّق۪ينَ ف۪ي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍۜ

Inna almuttaqeena fee jannatinwaAAuyoon

“Enter therein in peace, secure!”

اُدْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَامٍ اٰمِن۪ينَ

Odkhulooha bisalamin amineen

And We will remove what is in their hearts of rancour — as brethren, upon couches facing one another;

وَنَزَعْنَا مَا ف۪ي صُدُورِهِمْ مِنْ غِلٍّ اِخْوَاناً عَلٰى سُرُرٍ مُتَقَابِل۪ينَ

WanazaAAna ma fee sudoorihimmin ghillin ikhwanan AAala sururin mutaqabileen

Weariness will not touch them therein, nor will they be removed therefrom.

لَا يَمَسُّهُمْ ف۪يهَا نَصَبٌ وَمَا هُمْ مِنْهَا بِمُخْرَج۪ينَ

La yamassuhum feeha nasabunwama hum minha bimukhrajeen

Inform thou My servants that I am the Forgiving, the Merciful,

نَبِّئْ عِبَاد۪ٓي اَنّ۪ٓي اَنَا الْغَفُورُ الرَّح۪يمُۙ

And inform thou them of the guests of Abraham,

وَنَبِّئْهُمْ عَنْ ضَيْفِ اِبْرٰه۪يمَۢ

Wanabbi/hum AAan dayfi ibraheem

When they entered upon him, and said: “Peace!” He said: “We are afraid of you.”

And We utterly overthrew it and rained upon it stones of baked clay.

And there availed them not what they had earned.

فَمَٓا اَغْنٰى عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَۜ

Fama aghna AAanhum ma kanooyaksiboon

And We created not the heavens and the earth and what is between them but in truth. And the Hour is coming; so forbear thou with comely forbearance.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَٓا اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّۜ وَاِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَاٰتِيَةٌ فَاصْفَحِ الصَّفْحَ الْجَم۪يلَ

Wama khalaqna assamawatiwal-arda wama baynahuma illabilhaqqi wa-inna assaAAata laatiyatunfasfahi assafhaaljameel

Thy Lord, He is the Knowing Creator.

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْخَلَّاقُ الْعَل۪يمُ

Inna rabbaka huwa alkhallaqualAAaleem

And We have given thee seven of the oft-paired, and the tremendous Qur’an.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعاً مِنَ الْمَثَان۪ي وَالْقُرْاٰنَ الْعَظ۪يمَ

Walaqad ataynaka sabAAan minaalmathanee walqur-ana alAAatheem

Extend thou not thine eyes towards what enjoyment We have granted categories of them, and grieve thou not over them (but lower thou thy wing to the believers,

لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ اِلٰى مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِه۪ٓ اَزْوَاجاً مِنْهُمْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ

We suffice thee against the mockers,

Those who make with God another god; they will come to know.

اَلَّذ۪ينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهاً اٰخَرَۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

Allatheena yajAAaloona maAAa Allahiilahan akhara fasawfa yaAAlamoon

And We know that thy breast is straitened by what they say.

Walaqad naAAlamu annaka yadeequ sadrukabima yaqooloon

But give thou glory with the praise of thy Lord, and be thou among those who submit,

فَسَبِّـحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُنْ مِنَ السَّاجِد۪ينَۙ
