سورة ابراهيم

14. Surah Ibrahim
Abraham

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

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

alif lām rā A Writ We have sent down to thee, that thou bring forth mankind out of darkness into the light, by the leave of their Lord, to the path of the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy,

الٓـرٰ۠ كِتَابٌ اَنْزَلْنَاهُ اِلَيْكَ لِتُخْرِجَ النَّاسَ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ اِلَى النُّورِ بِـاِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ اِلٰى صِرَاطِ الْعَز۪يزِ الْحَم۪يدِۙ

Alif-lam-ra kitabunanzalnahu ilayka litukhrija annasa mina aththulumatiila annoori bi-ithni rabbihim ila siratialAAazeezi alhameed

Of God, to whom belongs what is in the heavens and what is in the earth; and woe to the false claimers of guidance from a severe punishment!

اَللّٰهِ الَّذ۪ي لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْاَرْضِۜ وَوَيْلٌ لِلْكَافِر۪ينَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ شَد۪يدٍۙ

Allahi allathee lahu mafee assamawati wama fee al-ardiwawaylun lilkafireena min AAathabin shadeed

Those who prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter, and turn away from the path of God, and would make it crooked: those are in extreme error.

اَلَّذ۪ينَ يَسْتَحِبُّونَ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْاٰخِرَةِ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ وَيَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجاًۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ ف۪ي ضَلَالٍ بَع۪يدٍ

Allatheena yastahibboona alhayataaddunya AAala al-akhirati wayasuddoonaAAan sabeeli Allahi wayabghoonaha AAiwajan ola-ikafee dalalin baAAeed

And We sent a messenger only in the tongue of his people, that he might make plain to them; and God sends astray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills; and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

وَمَٓا اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ رَسُولٍ اِلَّا بِلِسَانِ قَوْمِه۪ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمْۜ فَيُضِلُّ اللّٰهُ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ وَيَهْد۪ي مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَهُوَ الْعَز۪يزُ الْحَك۪يمُ

Wama arsalna min rasoolin illabilisani qawmihi liyubayyina lahum fayudillu Allahuman yashao wayahdee man yashao wahuwa alAAazeezu alhakeem

And We sent Moses with Our proofs: “Bring thou thy people forth out of darkness into the light, and remind thou them of the days of God.” In that are proofs for every one patient and grateful.

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مُوسٰى بِاٰيَاتِنَٓا اَنْ اَخْرِجْ قَوْمَكَ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ اِلَى النُّورِ وَذَكِّرْهُمْ بِاَيَّامِ اللّٰهِۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ

Walaqad arsalna moosa bi-ayatinaan akhrij qawmaka mina aththulumatiila annoori wathakkirhum bi-ayyamiAllahi inna fee thalika laayatinlikulli sabbarin shakoor

And when Moses said to his people: “Remember the favour of God upon you when He delivered you from the house of Pharaoh: they were afflicting you with an evil punishment, and slaughtering your sons and sparing your women; and in that was a great trial from your Lord.”

وَاِذْ قَالَ مُوسٰى لِقَوْمِهِ اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ اِذْ اَنْجٰيكُمْ مِنْ اٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَسُومُونَكُمْ سُٓوءَ الْعَذَابِ وَيُذَبِّحُونَ اَبْنَٓاءَكُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَٓاءَكُمْۜ وَف۪ي ذٰلِكُمْ بَلَٓاءٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ عَظ۪يمٌ۟

Wa-ith qala moosaliqawmihi othkuroo niAAmata Allahi AAalaykum ithanjakum min ali firAAawna yasoomoonakum soo-a alAAathabiwayuthabbihoona abnaakum wayastahyoonanisaakum wafee thalikum balaon min rabbikumAAatheem

And when your Lord proclaimed: “If you are grateful, I will increase you; but if you deny, My punishment is severe.”

وَاِذْ تَاَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لَاَز۪يدَنَّكُمْ وَلَئِنْ كَفَرْتُمْ اِنَّ عَذَاب۪ي لَشَد۪يدٌ

Wa-ith taaththana rabbukumla-in shakartum laazeedannakum wala-in kafartum inna AAathabeelashadeed

And Moses said: “If you deny, you and whoso is in the earth all together, then is God free from need and praiseworthy.”

وَقَالَ مُوسٰٓى اِنْ تَكْفُرُٓوا اَنْتُمْ وَمَنْ فِي الْاَرْضِ جَم۪يعاًۙ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَغَنِيٌّ حَم۪يدٌ

Waqala moosa in takfuroo antumwaman fee al-ardi jameeAAan fa-inna Allahalaghaniyyun hameed

Has not the report reached you of those before you: — the people of Noah, and ʿĀd, and Thamūd, and those after them? None knows them save God. Their messengers came to them with clear signs, but they returned their hands to their mouths, and said: “We deny that wherewith you have been sent, and we are in sceptical doubt about that to which you invite us.”

اَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَبَؤُا الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَۜۛ وَالَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْۜۛ لَا يَعْلَمُهُمْ اِلَّا اللّٰهُۜ جَٓاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَرَدُّٓوا اَيْدِيَهُمْ ف۪ٓي اَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَقَالُٓوا اِنَّا كَفَرْنَا بِمَٓا اُرْسِلْتُمْ بِه۪ وَاِنَّا لَف۪ي شَكٍّ مِمَّا تَدْعُونَـنَٓا اِلَيْهِ مُر۪يبٍ

Alam ya/tikum nabao allatheena minqablikum qawmi noohin waAAadin wathamooda wallatheenamin baAAdihim la yaAAlamuhum illa Allahu jaat-humrusuluhum bilbayyinati faraddoo aydiyahum fee afwahihimwaqaloo inna kafarna bima orsiltumbihi wa-inna lafee shakkin mimma tadAAoonanailayhi mureeb

Their messengers said: “Can there be about God any doubt: the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth? He calls you, that He will forgive you of your transgressions, and delay you to a stated term.” They said: “You are only mortals like us, who would turn us away from what our fathers served. So bring us a clear authority.”

قَالَتْ رُسُلُهُمْ اَفِي اللّٰهِ شَكٌّ فَاطِرِ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ يَدْعُوكُمْ لِيَغْفِرَ لَكُمْ مِنْ ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرَكُمْ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُسَمًّىۜ قَالُٓوا اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُنَاۜ تُر۪يدُونَ اَنْ تَصُدُّونَا عَمَّا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اٰبَٓاؤُ۬نَا فَأْتُونَا بِسُلْطَانٍ مُب۪ينٍ

Qalat rusuluhum afee Allahishakkun fatiri assamawati wal-ardiyadAAookum liyaghfira lakum min thunoobikumwayu-akhkhirakum ila ajalin musamman qaloo in antumilla basharun mithluna tureedoona an tasuddoonaAAamma kana yaAAbudu abaonafa/toona bisultanin mubeen

Their messengers said to them: “We are only mortals, like you; but God gives grace to whom He wills of His servants. And it is not for us to bring you an authority save by the leave of God; and in God let the believers place their trust.

قَالَتْ لَهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ اِنْ نَحْنُ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَمُنُّ عَلٰى مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِه۪ۜ وَمَا كَانَ لَـنَٓا اَنْ نَأْتِيَكُمْ بِسُلْطَانٍ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِۜ وَعَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

“And how could we not place our trust in God, when He has guided us in our ways? And we will be patient in that wherein you hinder us; and in God let those who would place their trust aright place their trust.”

وَمَا لَـنَٓا اَلَّا نَتَوَكَّلَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ وَقَدْ هَدٰينَا سُبُلَنَاۜ وَلَنَصْبِرَنَّ عَلٰى مَٓا اٰذَيْتُمُونَاۜ وَعَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ۟

Wama lana allanatawakkala AAala Allahi waqad hadanasubulana walanasbiranna AAala ma athaytumoonawaAAala Allahi falyatawakkali almutawakkiloon

And those who ignored warning said to their messengers: “We will turn you out of our land unless you return to our creed.” Then did their Lord reveal to them: “We will destroy the wrongdoers

وَقَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لِرُسُلِهِمْ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكُمْ مِنْ اَرْضِنَٓا اَوْ لَتَعُودُنَّ ف۪ي مِلَّتِنَاۜ فَاَوْحٰٓى اِلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ لَنُهْلِكَنَّ الظَّالِم۪ينَۙ

Waqala allatheena kafaroolirusulihim lanukhrijannakum min ardina awlataAAoodunna fee millatina faawha ilayhim rabbuhumlanuhlikanna aththalimeen

“And We will cause you to dwell in the land after them — that is for him who fears My station and fears My warning.”

وَلَنُسْكِنَنَّكُمُ الْاَرْضَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْۜ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَام۪ي وَخَافَ وَع۪يدِ

Walanuskinannakumu al-arda minbaAAdihim thalika liman khafa maqamee wakhafawaAAeed

And they sought decision; and every obstinate tyrant failed:

وَاسْتَفْتَحُوا وَخَابَ كُلُّ جَبَّارٍ عَن۪يدٍۙ

Wastaftahoo wakhabakullu jabbarin AAaneed

Beyond him is Gehenna; and he is given to drink of purulent water.

مِنْ وَرَٓائِه۪ جَهَنَّمُ وَيُسْقٰى مِنْ مَٓاءٍ صَد۪يدٍۙ

Min wara-ihi jahannamu wayusqamin ma-in sadeed

He will gulp it, but will scarcely swallow it; and death will come at him from every place, but he is not to die. And beyond him is a stern punishment.

يَتَجَرَّعُهُ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُس۪يغُهُ وَيَأْت۪يهِ الْمَوْتُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَمَا هُوَ بِمَيِّتٍۜ وَمِنْ وَرَٓائِه۪ عَذَابٌ غَل۪يظٌ

YatajarraAAuhu wala yakaduyuseeghuhu waya/teehi almawtu min kulli makanin wamahuwa bimayyitin wamin wara-ihi AAathabun ghaleeth

The likeness of those who deny their Lord: their works are as ashes the wind scatters on a day of tempest; they possess nothing of what they earned — that is the extreme error.

مَثَلُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ اَعْمَالُهُمْ كَرَمَادٍۨ اشْتَدَّتْ بِهِ الرّ۪يحُ ف۪ي يَوْمٍ عَاصِفٍۜ لَا يَقْدِرُونَ مِمَّا كَسَبُوا عَلٰى شَيْءٍۜ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الضَّلَالُ الْبَع۪يدُ

Mathalu allatheena kafaroo birabbihimaAAmaluhum karamadin ishtaddat bihi arreehufee yawmin AAasifin la yaqdiroona mimmakasaboo AAala shay-in thalika huwa addalalualbaAAeed

Dost thou not see that God created the heavens and the earth in truth? If He wills, He will remove you and bring a new creation;

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّۜ اِنْ يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ وَيَأْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَد۪يدٍۙ

Alam tara anna Allaha khalaqa assamawatiwal-arda bilhaqqi in yasha/ yuthhibkumwaya/ti bikhalqin jadeed

And that is not difficult for God.

وَمَا ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ بِعَز۪يزٍ

Wama thalika AAala AllahibiAAazeez

And they will emerge before God all together; and the weak will say to those who had waxed proud: “We were your followers; can you avail us something against the punishment of God?” They will say: “Had God guided us, we would have guided you; it is the same for us whether we be distressed or patient: we have no place of refuge.”

وَبَرَزُوا لِلّٰهِ جَم۪يعاً فَقَالَ الضُّعَفٰٓؤُ۬ا لِلَّذ۪ينَ اسْتَكْـبَرُٓوا اِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعاً فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُغْنُونَ عَنَّا مِنْ عَذَابِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍۜ قَالُوا لَوْ هَدٰينَا اللّٰهُ لَهَدَيْنَاكُمْۜ سَوَٓاءٌ عَلَيْنَٓا اَجَزِعْنَٓا اَمْ صَبَرْنَا مَا لَنَا مِنْ مَح۪يصٍ۟

Wabarazoo lillahi jameeAAan faqalaadduAAafao lillatheena istakbarooinna kunna lakum tabaAAan fahal antum mughnoonaAAanna min AAathabi Allahi min shay-in qaloolaw hadana Allahu lahadaynakum sawaonAAalayna ajaziAAna am sabarna malana min mahees

And the satan will say when the matter is concluded: “God promised you the promise of truth; and I promised you, but I betrayed you. And I had not over you any authority except to call you — and you responded to me; so blame not me, but blame yourselves. I cannot aid you, and you cannot aid me. I deny your ascribing to me a partnership before; the wrongdoers: for them is a painful punishment.”

وَقَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ لَمَّا قُضِيَ الْاَمْرُ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ وَعَدَكُمْ وَعْدَ الْحَقِّ وَوَعَدْتُكُمْ فَاَخْلَفْتُكُمْۜ وَمَا كَانَ لِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ اِلَّٓا اَنْ دَعَوْتُكُمْ فَاسْتَجَبْتُمْ ل۪يۚ فَلَا تَلُومُون۪ي وَلُومُٓوا اَنْفُسَكُمْۜ مَٓا اَنَا۬ بِمُصْرِخِكُمْ وَمَٓا اَنْتُمْ بِمُصْرِخِيَّۜ اِنّ۪ي كَفَرْتُ بِمَٓا اَشْرَكْتُمُونِ مِنْ قَبْلُۜ اِنَّ الظَّالِم۪ينَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌ

And those who heed warning and do righteous deeds will be made to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, they abiding eternally therein by the leave of their Lord. Their greeting therein will be: “Peace!”

وَاُدْخِلَ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُ خَالِد۪ينَ ف۪يهَا بِاِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْۜ تَحِيَّتُهُمْ ف۪يهَا سَلَامٌ

Waodkhila allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati jannatintajree min tahtiha al-anharu khalideenafeeha bi-ithni rabbihim tahiyyatuhum feehasalam

Hast thou not considered how God struck a similitude? A good word is like a good tree: its root firm, and its branches in the sky.

اَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلاً كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ اَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَٓاءِۙ

Alam tara kayfa daraba Allahumathalan kalimatan tayyibatan kashajaratin tayyibatinasluha thabitun wafarAAuha fee assama/-

It brings its fruit at all times, by the leave of its Lord. And God strikes similitudes for mankind, that they might take heed.

تُؤْت۪ٓي اُكُلَهَا كُلَّ ح۪ينٍ بِاِذْنِ رَبِّهَاۜ وَيَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْاَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

Tu/tee okulaha kulla heeninbi-ithni rabbiha wayadribu Allahual-amthala linnasi laAAallahum yatathakkaroon

And the likeness of a bad word is like a bad tree: uprooted from the earth, it has no fixed lodging.

وَمَثَلُ كَلِمَةٍ خَب۪يثَةٍ كَشَجَرَةٍ خَب۪يثَةٍۨ اجْتُثَّتْ مِنْ فَوْقِ الْاَرْضِ مَا لَهَا مِنْ قَرَارٍ

Wamathalu kalimatin khabeethatinkashajaratin khabeethatin ijtuththat min fawqi al-ardi malaha min qarar

God strengthens those who heed warning with a firm word in the life of this world and in the Hereafter. And God sends astray the wrongdoers; and God does what He wills.

يُثَبِّتُ اللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الْاٰخِرَةِۚ وَيُضِلُّ اللّٰهُ الظَّالِم۪ينَ وَيَفْعَلُ اللّٰهُ مَا يَشَٓاءُ۟

Yuthabbitu Allahu allatheena amanoobilqawli aththabiti fee alhayatiaddunya wafee al-akhirati wayudilluAllahu aththalimeenawayafAAalu Allahu ma yasha/

Hast thou not considered those who exchanged the favour of God for denial, and caused their people to alight in the abode of desolation —

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذ۪ينَ بَدَّلُوا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ كُفْراً وَاَحَلُّوا قَوْمَهُمْ دَارَ الْبَوَارِۙ

Alam tara ila allatheenabaddaloo niAAmata Allahi kufran waahalloo qawmahumdara albawar

Gehenna — wherein they burn? And evil is the fixed lodging.

جَهَنَّمَۚ يَصْلَوْنَهَاۜ وَبِئْسَ الْقَرَارُ

Jahannama yaslawnaha wabi/saalqarar

And they made equals to God, that they might lead astray from His path. Say thou: “Enjoy yourselves, for your journey’s end is the Fire.”

وَجَعَلُوا لِلّٰهِ اَنْدَاداً لِيُضِلُّوا عَنْ سَب۪يلِه۪ۜ قُلْ تَمَتَّعُوا فَاِنَّ مَص۪يرَكُمْ اِلَى النَّارِ

WajaAAaloo lillahi andadanliyudilloo AAan sabeelihi qul tamattaAAoo fa-inna maseerakumila annar

Say thou to My servants who heed warning, that they uphold the duty, and spend of what We have provided them, secretly and openly, before there comes a day wherein there is neither bargaining nor friendship.

قُلْ لِعِبَادِيَ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا يُق۪يمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَيُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ سِراًّ وَعَلَانِيَةً مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَأْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَا بَيْعٌ ف۪يهِ وَلَا خِلَالٌ

Qul liAAibadiya allatheena amanooyuqeemoo assalata wayunfiqoo mimmarazaqnahum sirran waAAalaniyatan min qabli anya/tiya yawmun la bayAAun feehi wala khilal

God is He who created the heavens and the earth, and sent down from the sky water wherewith He brought forth some fruits as a provision for you; and He made subject for you the ship to run upon the sea by His command; and He made subject for you the rivers;

اَللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ي خَلَقَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَاَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ مَٓاءً فَاَخْرَجَ بِه۪ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ رِزْقاً لَكُمْۚ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الْفُلْكَ لِتَجْرِيَ فِي الْبَحْرِ بِاَمْرِه۪ۚ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الْاَنْهَارَۚ

Allahu allathee khalaqa assamawatiwal-arda waanzala mina assama-i maanfaakhraja bihi mina aththamarati rizqan lakumwasakhkhara lakumu alfulka litajriya fee albahri bi-amrihiwasakhkhara lakumu al-anhar

And He made subject for you the sun and the moon, both constant; and He made subject for you the night and the day.

وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ دَٓائِبَيْنِۚ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَۚ

Wasakhkhara lakumu ashshamsa walqamarada-ibayni wasakhkhara lakumu allayla wannahar

And He gives you of all that you ask of Him. And if you should count the favour of God, you will not calculate it; man is a wrongdoer and an ingrate.

وَاٰتٰيكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا سَاَلْتُمُوهُۜ وَاِنْ تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَاۜ اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ لَظَلُومٌ كَفَّارٌ۟

Waatakum min kulli masaaltumoohu wa-in taAAuddoo niAAmata Allahi la tuhsoohainna al-insana lathaloomun kaffar

(And when Abraham said: “My Lord: make Thou this land secure; and preserve Thou me and my sons from serving idols.

وَاِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰه۪يمُ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هٰذَا الْبَلَدَ اٰمِناً وَاجْنُبْن۪ي وَبَنِيَّ اَنْ نَعْبُدَ الْاَصْنَامَۜ

Wa-ith qala ibraheemurabbi ijAAal hatha albalada aminan wajnubneewabaniyya an naAAbuda al-asnam

“My Lord: they have led astray many among mankind. But whoso follows me, he is of me; and whoso disobeys me: Thou art forgiving and merciful.

رَبِّ اِنَّهُنَّ اَضْلَلْنَ كَث۪يراً مِنَ النَّاسِۚ فَمَنْ تَبِعَن۪ي فَاِنَّهُ مِنّ۪يۚ وَمَنْ عَصَان۪ي فَاِنَّكَ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ

Rabbi innahunna adlalna katheeranmina annasi faman tabiAAanee fa-innahu minneewaman AAasanee fa-innaka ghafoorun raheem

“Our Lord: I have settled some of my progeny in an uncultivated valley by Thy inviolable house, our Lord, that they uphold the duty; so make Thou hearts among men incline towards them, and provide Thou them some fruits, that they might be grateful.

رَبَّـنَٓا اِنّ۪ٓي اَسْكَنْتُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّت۪ي بِوَادٍ غَيْرِ ذ۪ي زَرْعٍ عِنْدَ بَيْتِكَ الْمُحَرَّمِۙ رَبَّـنَا لِيُق۪يمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ فَاجْعَلْ اَفْـِٔدَةً مِنَ النَّاسِ تَهْو۪ٓي اِلَيْهِمْ وَارْزُقْهُمْ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْكُرُونَ

“Our Lord: Thou knowest what we hide, and what we make known; and nothing is hidden from God in the earth or in the heaven.

رَبَّـنَٓا اِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ مَا نُخْف۪ي وَمَا نُعْلِنُۜ وَمَا يَخْفٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَٓاءِ

Rabbana innaka taAAlamu manukhfee wama nuAAlinu wama yakhfa AAalaAllahi min shay-in fee al-ardi wala fee assama/-

“Praise belongs to God who has given me in old age Ishmael and Isaac! My Lord is the hearer of supplication.

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذ۪ي وَهَبَ ل۪ي عَلَى الْكِبَرِ اِسْمٰع۪يلَ وَاِسْحٰقَۜ اِنَّ رَبّ۪ي لَسَم۪يعُ الدُّعَٓاءِ

“My Lord: make Thou me one upholding the duty, and of my progeny, our Lord, and accept Thou my supplication.

“Our Lord: forgive Thou me, and my parents, and the believers, the day the reckoning takes place.”)

رَبَّـنَا اغْفِرْ ل۪ي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْحِسَابُ۟

Rabbana ighfir lee waliwalidayyawalilmu/mineena yawma yaqoomu alhisab

And think thou not that God is unmindful of what the wrongdoers do; He only delays them to a day wherein the eyes will stare,

وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللّٰهَ غَافِلاً عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَۜ اِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ ف۪يهِ الْاَبْصَارُۙ

Wala tahsabanna Allahaghafilan AAamma yaAAmalu aththalimoonainnama yu-akhkhiruhum liyawmin tashkhasu feehial-absar

Straining forward, their heads uplifted; their gaze not returning to them, and their hearts void.

مُهْطِع۪ينَ مُقْنِع۪ي رُؤُ۫سِهِمْ لَا يَرْتَدُّ اِلَيْهِمْ طَرْفُهُمْۚ وَاَفْـِٔدَتُهُمْ هَوَٓاءٌۜ

MuhtiAAeena muqniAAee ruoosihim layartaddu ilayhim tarfuhum waaf-idatuhum hawa/

And warn thou mankind of a day the punishment will come upon them, and those who did wrong will say: “Our Lord: delay Thou us for a short term: we will respond to Thy call and follow the messengers.” — “Did you not swear before that there would be no end for you?

وَاَنْذِرِ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ يَأْت۪يهِمُ الْعَذَابُۙ فَيَقُولُ الَّذ۪ينَ ظَلَمُوا رَبَّـنَٓا اَخِّرْنَٓا اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ قَر۪يبٍۙ نُجِبْ دَعْوَتَكَ وَنَتَّبِـعِ الرُّسُلَۜ اَوَلَمْ تَكُونُٓوا اَقْسَمْتُمْ مِنْ قَبْلُ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ زَوَالٍۙ

Waanthiri annasa yawmaya/teehimu alAAathabu fayaqoolu allatheena thalamoorabbana akhkhirna ila ajalin qareebin nujibdaAAwataka wanattabiAAi arrusula awa lam takoonooaqsamtum min qablu ma lakum min zawal

“And you dwelt in the dwellings of those who wronged their souls; and it was made clear to you how We did with them; and We struck similitudes for you.”

وَسَكَنْتُمْ ف۪ي مَسَاكِنِ الَّذ۪ينَ ظَلَمُٓوا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ كَيْفَ فَعَلْنَا بِهِمْ وَضَرَبْنَا لَكُمُ الْاَمْثَالَ

Wasakantum fee masakini allatheenathalamoo anfusahum watabayyana lakum kayfa faAAalnabihim wadarabna lakumu al-amthal

And they have schemed their scheme, but their scheme is with God; and though their scheme be that the mountains should vanish

وَقَدْ مَكَرُوا مَكْرَهُمْ وَعِنْدَ اللّٰهِ مَكْرُهُمْۜ وَاِنْ كَانَ مَكْرُهُمْ لِتَزُولَ مِنْهُ الْجِبَالُ

Waqad makaroo makrahum waAAinda Allahimakruhum wa-in kana makruhum litazoola minhu aljibal

Think thou not that God will fail in His promise to His messengers; God is exalted in might and vengeful.

فَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللّٰهَ مُخْلِفَ وَعْدِه۪ رُسُلَهُۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَز۪يزٌ ذُوانْتِقَامٍۜ

Fala tahsabanna Allahamukhlifa waAAdihi rusulahu inna Allaha AAazeezun thoointiqam

The day the earth will be changed to another earth, and the heavens, they will emerge before God, the One, the Vanquishing.

يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ الْاَرْضُ غَيْرَ الْاَرْضِ وَالسَّمٰوَاتُ وَبَرَزُوا لِلّٰهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ

Yawma tubaddalu al-ardu ghayra al-ardiwassamawatu wabarazoo lillahi alwahidialqahhar

And thou wilt see the lawbreakers, that day, bound together in shackles,

وَتَرَى الْمُجْرِم۪ينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُقَرَّن۪ينَ فِي الْاَصْفَادِۚ

Watara almujrimeena yawma-ithinmuqarraneena fee al-asfad

Their garments of pitch, and the Fire covering their faces,

سَرَاب۪يلُهُمْ مِنْ قَطِرَانٍ وَتَغْشٰى وُجُوهَهُمُ النَّارُۙ

Sarabeeluhum min qatraninwataghsha wujoohahumu annar

That God might reward each soul for what it earned; God is swift in reckoning.

لِيَجْزِيَ اللّٰهُ كُلَّ نَفْسٍ مَا كَسَبَتْۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَر۪يعُ الْحِسَابِ

Liyajziya Allahu kulla nafsin makasabat inna Allaha sareeAAu alhisab

This is a notification to mankind, that they be warned thereby, and that they might know that He is but One God, and that those of insight might take heed.

هٰذَا بَلَاغٌ لِلنَّاسِ وَلِيُنْذَرُوا بِه۪ وَلِيَعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّمَا هُوَ اِلٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ وَلِيَذَّكَّرَ اُو۬لُوا الْاَلْبَابِ
