سورة الأعراف

7. Surah Al-A'raf
The Heights

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

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

alif lām mīm ṣād

الٓمٓصٓۜ

Alif-lam-meem-sad

A Writ sent down to thee — so let there be no distress in thy heart therefrom — that thou warn thereby, and as a reminder to the believers.

كِتَابٌ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ فَلَا يَكُنْ ف۪ي صَدْرِكَ حَرَجٌ مِنْهُ لِتُنْذِرَ بِه۪ وَذِكْرٰى لِلْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Kitabun onzila ilayka falayakun fee sadrika harajun minhu litunthirabihi wathikra lilmu/mineen

Follow what has been sent down to you from your Lord, and follow not allies besides Him; little do you take heed.

اِتَّبِعُوا مَٓا اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكُمْ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا مِنْ دُونِه۪ٓ اَوْلِيَٓاءَۜ قَل۪يلاً مَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

IttabiAAoo ma onzila ilaykum minrabbikum wala tattabiAAoo min doonihi awliyaaqaleelan ma tathakkaroon

And how many a city have We destroyed! Our might came upon it by night, or while they slept at noonday,

وَكَمْ مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ اَهْلَكْنَاهَا فَجَٓاءَهَا بَأْسُنَا بَيَاتاً اَوْ هُمْ قَٓائِلُونَ

Wakam min qaryatin ahlaknahafajaaha ba/suna bayatan aw hum qa-iloon

And their cry when Our might came to them was only that they said: “We were wrongdoers!”

فَمَا كَانَ دَعْوٰيهُمْ اِذْ جَٓاءَهُمْ بَأْسُنَٓا اِلَّٓا اَنْ قَالُٓوا اِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِم۪ينَ

Fama kana daAAwahum ithjaahum ba/suna illa an qaloo innakunna thalimeen

Then will We question those to whom were sent, and We will question the emissaries,

فَلَنَسْـَٔلَنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ اُرْسِلَ اِلَيْهِمْ وَلَنَسْـَٔلَنَّ الْمُرْسَل۪ينَۙ

Falanas-alanna allatheena orsilailayhim walanas-alanna almursaleen

And We will relate to them with knowledge; and We were not absent.

فَلَنَقُصَّنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ بِعِلْمٍ وَمَا كُنَّا غَٓائِب۪ينَ

Falanaqussanna AAalayhim biAAilmin wamakunna gha-ibeen

And the weighing, that day, will be the truth; then whose balances are heavy: it is they who are the successful.

وَالْوَزْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۨ الْحَقُّۚ فَمَنْ ثَقُلَتْ مَوَاز۪ينُهُ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

Walwaznu yawma-ithini alhaqqufaman thaqulat mawazeenuhu faola-ika humu almuflihoon

And whose balances are light: those are they who lost their souls because they wronged Our proofs.

وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَاز۪ينُهُ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ الَّذ۪ينَ خَسِرُٓوا اَنْفُسَهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَا يَظْلِمُونَ

Waman khaffat mawazeenuhu faola-ikaallatheena khasiroo anfusahum bima kanoo bi-ayatinayathlimoon

And We have established you in the earth and made for you therein livelihoods; little are you grateful.

وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنَّاكُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ ف۪يهَا مَعَايِشَۜ قَل۪يلاً مَا تَشْكُرُونَ۟

Walaqad makkannakum fee al-ardiwajaAAalna lakum feeha maAAayisha qaleelan matashkuroon

And We created you; then We formed you; then said We to the angels: “Submit to Adam,” and they submitted. Not so Iblīs; he was not of those who submit.

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ ثُمَّ صَوَّرْنَاكُمْ ثُمَّ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰٓئِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِاٰدَمَۗ فَسَجَدُٓوا اِلَّٓا اِبْل۪يسَۜ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَ السَّاجِد۪ينَ

Walaqad khalaqnakum thumma sawwarnakumthumma qulna lilmala-ikati osjudoo li-adamafasajadoo illa ibleesa lam yakun mina assajideen

He said: “What prevented thee from submitting when I commanded thee?” Said he: “I am better than he; Thou createdst me of fire, and Thou createdst him of clay.”

قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ اَلَّا تَسْجُدَ اِذْ اَمَرْتُكَۜ قَالَ اَنَا۬ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُۚ خَلَقْتَن۪ي مِنْ نَارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِنْ ط۪ينٍ

Qala ma manaAAaka allatasjuda ith amartuka qala ana khayrun minhukhalaqtanee min narin wakhalaqtahu min teen

He said: “Get thee down therefrom; it is not for thee to wax proud therein, so go thou forth; thou art of those brought low.”

قَالَ فَاهْبِطْ مِنْهَا فَمَا يَكُونُ لَكَ اَنْ تَتَكَبَّرَ ف۪يهَا فَاخْرُجْ اِنَّكَ مِنَ الصَّاغِر۪ينَ

Qala fahbit minhafama yakoonu laka an tatakabbara feeha fakhrujinnaka mina assaghireen

Said he: “Grant Thou me respite until the day they are raised up.”

قَالَ اَنْظِرْن۪ٓي اِلٰى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

Qala anthirnee ilayawmi yubAAathoon

He said: “Thou art of those granted respite.”

قَالَ اِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنْظَر۪ينَ

Qala innaka mina almunthareen

Said he: “Because Thou hast caused me to err, I will lie in wait for them on Thy straight path,

قَالَ فَبِمَٓا اَغْوَيْتَن۪ي لَاَقْعُدَنَّ لَهُمْ صِرَاطَكَ الْمُسْتَق۪يمَۙ

Qala fabima aghwaytaneelaaqAAudanna lahum sirataka almustaqeem

“Then will I come to them from before them, and from behind them, and from their right, and from their left; and Thou wilt not find most of them grateful.”

ثُمَّ لَاٰتِيَنَّهُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ اَيْد۪يهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ وَعَنْ اَيْمَانِهِمْ وَعَنْ شَمَٓائِلِهِمْۜ وَلَا تَجِدُ اَكْثَرَهُمْ شَاكِر۪ينَ

Thumma laatiyannahum min bayniaydeehim wamin khalfihim waAAan aymanihim waAAan shama-ilihimwala tajidu aktharahum shakireen

He said: “Go thou forth therefrom, condemned and banished. Whoso follows thee from among them — I will fill Gehenna with you all together.”

قَالَ اخْرُجْ مِنْهَا مَذْؤُ۫ماً مَدْحُوراًۜ لَمَنْ تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ لَاَمْلَـَٔنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنْكُمْ اَجْمَع۪ينَ

Qala okhruj minha mathoomanmadhooran laman tabiAAaka minhum laamlaanna jahannamaminkum ajmaAAeen

And: “O Adam: dwell thou and thy wife in the garden, and eat from wheresoever you will. But approach not this tree lest you be among the wrongdoers.”

وَيَٓا اٰدَمُ اسْكُنْ اَنْتَ وَزَوْجُكَ الْجَنَّةَ فَكُلَا مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ الظَّالِم۪ينَ

Waya adamu oskun antawazawjuka aljannata fakula min haythu shi/tumawala taqraba hathihi ashshajaratafatakoona mina aththalimeen

Then the satan whispered to them, to make manifest to them what was hidden from them of their shame. He said: “Your Lord forbade you this tree only lest you become angels, or of those abiding eternally.”

فَوَسْوَسَ لَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ لِيُبْدِيَ لَهُمَا مَا وُ۫رِيَ عَنْهُمَا مِنْ سَوْاٰتِهِمَا وَقَالَ مَا نَهٰيكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنْ هٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ اِلَّٓا اَنْ تَكُونَا مَلَكَيْنِ اَوْ تَكُونَا مِنَ الْخَالِد۪ينَ

Fawaswasa lahuma ashshaytanuliyubdiya lahuma ma wooriya AAanhuma minsaw-atihima waqala ma nahakumarabbukuma AAan hathihi ashshajarati illaan takoona malakayni aw takoona mina alkhalideen

And he swore to them: “I am to you a sincere counsellor.”

وَقَاسَمَـهُمَٓا اِنّ۪ي لَكُمَا لَمِنَ النَّاصِح۪ينَۙ

Waqasamahuma innee lakumalamina annasiheen

And he led them by delusion; then when they tasted of the tree, their shame was made manifest to them, and they began to draw over them of the leaves of the garden. And their Lord called to them: “Did I not forbid you that tree? And did I not say to you: ‘The satan is an open enemy to you’?”

فَدَلّٰيهُمَا بِغُرُورٍۚ فَلَمَّا ذَاقَا الشَّجَرَةَ بَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْاٰتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِنْ وَرَقِ الْجَنَّةِۜ وَنَادٰيهُمَا رَبُّهُمَٓا اَلَمْ اَنْهَكُمَا عَنْ تِلْكُمَا الشَّجَرَةِ وَاَقُلْ لَكُمَٓا اِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمَا عَدُوٌّ مُب۪ينٌ

They said: “Our Lord: we have wronged our souls; and if Thou forgive us not and have not mercy on us, we will be among the losers.”

قَالَا رَبَّـنَا ظَلَمْنَٓا اَنْفُسَنَا وَاِنْ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِر۪ينَ

Qala rabbana thalamnaanfusana wa-in lam taghfir lana watarhamnalanakoonanna mina alkhasireen

He said: “Get you down, an enemy to one another. And for you upon the earth are a dwelling-place and provision for a time.”

قَالَ اهْبِطُوا بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّۚ وَلَكُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمَتَاعٌ اِلٰى ح۪ينٍ

Qala ihbitoo baAAdukumlibaAAdin AAaduwwun walakum fee al-ardi mustaqarrunwamataAAun ila heen

He said: “On it will you live, and on it will you die, and from it will you be brought forth.”

قَالَ ف۪يهَا تَحْيَوْنَ وَف۪يهَا تَمُوتُونَ وَمِنْهَا تُخْرَجُونَ۟

Qala feeha tahyawnawafeeha tamootoona waminha tukhrajoon

O children of Adam: We have sent down upon you raiment to hide your shame, and as adornment; but the raiment of prudent fear, that is best. That is among the proofs of God, that they might take heed.

يَا بَن۪ٓي اٰدَمَ قَدْ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ لِبَاساً يُوَار۪ي سَوْاٰتِكُمْ وَر۪يشاً۠ وَلِبَاسُ التَّقْوٰى ذٰلِكَ خَيْرٌۜ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ اٰيَاتِ اللّٰهِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ

Ya banee adama qad anzalnaAAalaykum libasan yuwaree saw-atikumwareeshan walibasu attaqwa thalikakhayrun thalika min ayati AllahilaAAallahum yaththakkaroon

O children of Adam: let not the satan subject you to means of denial as he turned your parents out of the garden, removing from them their raiment, that he might make manifest their shame to them. He and his kind see you from where you see them not. We have made the satans allies of those who do not believe.

يَا بَن۪ٓي اٰدَمَ لَا يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ كَمَٓا اَخْرَجَ اَبَوَيْكُمْ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ يَنْزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْاٰتِهِمَاۜ اِنَّهُ يَرٰيكُمْ هُوَ وَقَب۪يلُهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْۜ اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا الشَّيَاط۪ينَ اَوْلِيَٓاءَ لِلَّذ۪ينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

And when they commit sexual immorality, they say: “We found our fathers doing it,” and: “God enjoined it upon us.” Say thou: “God enjoins not sexual immorality; do you ascribe to God what you know not?”

وَاِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً قَالُوا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهَٓا اٰبَٓاءَنَا وَاللّٰهُ اَمَرَنَا بِهَاۜ قُلْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَأْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَٓاءِۜ اَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

Wa-itha faAAaloo fahishatan qaloowajadna AAalayha abaana wallahuamarana biha qul inna Allaha laya/muru bilfahsha-i ataqooloona AAalaAllahi ma la taAAlamoon

Say thou: “My Lord has enjoined equity. Uphold your countenances at every place of worship, and call to Him, sincere to Him in doctrine; as He created you, so you will return.”

قُلْ اَمَرَ رَبّ۪ي بِالْقِسْطِ۠ وَاَق۪يمُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَادْعُوهُ مُخْلِص۪ينَ لَهُ الدّ۪ينَۜ كَمَا بَدَاَكُمْ تَعُودُونَۜ

Qul amara rabbee bilqistiwaaqeemoo wujoohakum AAinda kulli masjidin wadAAoohumukhliseena lahu addeena kama badaakumtaAAoodoon

A faction He guided, and upon a faction was misguidance due: they took the satans as allies instead of God, and think they are guided.

فَر۪يقاً هَدٰى وَفَر۪يقاً حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الضَّلَالَةُۜ اِنَّهُمُ اتَّخَذُوا الشَّيَاط۪ينَ اَوْلِيَٓاءَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ اَنَّهُمْ مُهْتَدُونَ

Fareeqan hada wafareeqan haqqaAAalayhimu addalalatu innahumu ittakhathooashshayateena awliyaa min dooni Allahiwayahsaboona annahum muhtadoon

O children of Adam: take your adornment at every place of worship; and eat and drink, but commit not excess; God loves not the committers of excess.

يَا بَن۪ٓي اٰدَمَ خُذُوا ز۪ينَتَكُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا وَلَا تُسْرِفُواۚ اِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِف۪ينَ۟

Ya banee adama khuthoozeenatakum AAinda kulli masjidin wakuloo washraboo walatusrifoo innahu la yuhibbu almusrifeen

Say thou: “Who has made unlawful the adornment of God which He brought forth for His servants, and the good things of provision?” Say thou: “These are for those who heed warning in the life of this world exclusively on the Day of Resurrection.” Thus do We set out and detail the proofs for people who know.

قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ ز۪ينَةَ اللّٰهِ الَّت۪ٓي اَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِه۪ وَالطَّيِّبَاتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِۜ قُلْ هِيَ لِلَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا خَالِصَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۜ كَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْاٰيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ

Say thou: “My Lord has only made unlawful sexual immoralities — whether open or concealed — and sin, and sectarian zealotry without cause, and that you ascribe a partnership with God to that for which He has not sent down authority, and that you ascribe to God what you know not.”

قُلْ اِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّيَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَالْاِثْمَ وَالْبَغْيَ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَاَنْ تُشْرِكُوا بِاللّٰهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِه۪ سُلْطَاناً وَاَنْ تَقُولُوا عَلَى اللّٰهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

And for every community is a term; then when their term comes, they will not defer an hour, nor will they advance.

وَلِكُلِّ اُمَّةٍ اَجَلٌۚ فَاِذَا جَٓاءَ اَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ

Walikulli ommatin ajalun fa-itha jaaajaluhum la yasta/khiroona saAAatan walayastaqdimoon

O children of Adam: if there come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My proofs, then whoso is in prudent fear and makes right — no fear will be upon them, nor will they grieve.

يَا بَن۪ٓي اٰدَمَ اِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِنْكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ اٰيَات۪يۙ فَمَنِ اتَّقٰى وَاَصْلَحَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

Ya banee adama immaya/tiyannakum rusulun minkum yaqussoona AAalaykum ayateefamani ittaqa waaslaha fala khawfunAAalayhim wala hum yahzanoon

But those who deny Our proofs and wax proud at them — those are the companions of the Fire; therein they abide eternally.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ كَذَّبُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا عَنْهَٓا اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ اَصْحَابُ النَّارِۚ هُمْ ف۪يهَا خَالِدُونَ

Wallatheena kaththaboobi-ayatina wastakbaroo AAanhaola-ika as-habu annari humfeeha khalidoon

And who is more unjust than he who invents a lie about God, or denies His proofs? Those: there reaches them their portion of the Writ; when Our messengers come to them, to take them, they say: “Where is that to which you called besides God?” They will say: “They have strayed from us.” And they will bear witness against themselves that they were false claimers of guidance.

فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِباً اَوْ كَذَّبَ بِاٰيَاتِه۪ۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ يَنَالُهُمْ نَص۪يبُهُمْ مِنَ الْكِتَابِۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا جَٓاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُنَا يَتَوَفَّوْنَهُمْۙ قَالُٓوا اَيْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِۜ قَالُوا ضَلُّوا عَنَّا وَشَهِدُوا عَلٰٓى اَنْفُسِهِمْ اَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كَافِر۪ينَ

He will say: “Enter among the communities that have passed away before you of domini and servi into the Fire!” Whenever a community enters, it curses its sister; when they have followed one another therein all together, the last of them will say to the first of them: “Our Lord: these led us astray; so give Thou them double punishment of the Fire!” He will say: “For each is double, but you know not.”

قَالَ ادْخُلُوا ف۪ٓي اُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْاِنْسِ فِي النَّارِۜ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَتْ اُمَّةٌ لَعَنَتْ اُخْتَهَاۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا ادَّارَكُوا ف۪يهَا جَم۪يعاًۙ قَالَتْ اُخْرٰيهُمْ لِاُو۫لٰيهُمْ رَبَّنَا هٰٓؤُ۬لَٓاءِ اَضَلُّونَا فَاٰتِهِمْ عَذَاباً ضِعْفاً مِنَ النَّارِۜ قَالَ لِكُلٍّ ضِعْفٌ وَلٰكِنْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

And the first of them will say to the last of them: “You were no better than were we, so taste the punishment for what you earned!”

وَقَالَتْ اُو۫لٰيهُمْ لِاُخْرٰيهُمْ فَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ فَضْلٍ فَذُوقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْسِبُونَ۟

Those who deny Our proofs and wax proud at them: for them the gates of heaven will not be opened, nor will they enter the Garden any more than a twisted rope can pass through the eye of a needle; and thus We requite the lawbreakers.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَذَّبُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا عَنْهَا لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمْ اَبْوَابُ السَّمَٓاءِ وَلَا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ حَتّٰى يَلِجَ الْجَمَلُ ف۪ي سَمِّ الْخِيَاطِۜ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُجْرِم۪ينَ

They have a resting-place of Gehenna, and over them are coverings; and thus We requite the wrongdoers.

لَهُمْ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ مِهَادٌ وَمِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ غَوَاشٍۜ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الظَّالِم۪ينَ

And those who heed warning and do righteous deeds: — We burden not any soul save to its capacity — those are the companions of the Garden; therein they abide eternally.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْساً اِلَّا وُسْعَهَاۘ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ اَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِۚ هُمْ ف۪يهَا خَالِدُونَ

Wallatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati la nukallifunafsan illa wusAAaha ola-ika as-habualjannati hum feeha khalidoon

And We will remove any rancour from their hearts; there flow beneath them rivers; and they will say: “Praise belongs to God who has guided us to this! And we would not have been guided had not God guided us. The messengers of our Lord came with the truth.” And they will be called: “That is the Garden which you are made to inherit for what you did.”

وَنَزَعْنَا مَا ف۪ي صُدُورِهِمْ مِنْ غِلٍّ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهِمُ الْاَنْهَارُۚ وَقَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذ۪ي هَدٰينَا لِهٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْلَٓا اَنْ هَدٰينَا اللّٰهُۚ لَقَدْ جَٓاءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِالْحَقِّۜ وَنُودُٓوا اَنْ تِلْكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ اُو۫رِثْتُمُوهَا بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

And the companions of the Garden will call to the companions of the Fire: “We have found what our Lord promised us true; have you found what your Lord promised you true?” They will say: “Yea.” Then will there proclaim a proclaimer between them: “The curse of God is upon the wrongdoers:

“Those who turned away from the path of God and sought to make it crooked, and were deniers of the Hereafter!”

اَلَّذ۪ينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ وَيَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجاًۚ وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ كَافِرُونَۜ

And between them is a partition; and upon the elevations are men recognising each by their mark; and they will call to the companions of the Garden: “Peace be upon you!” They have not entered it, though they desire to.

وَبَيْنَـهُمَا حِجَابٌۚ وَعَلَى الْاَعْرَافِ رِجَالٌ يَعْرِفُونَ كُلاًّ بِس۪يمٰيهُمْۚ وَنَادَوْا اَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِ اَنْ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ لَمْ يَدْخُلُوهَا وَهُمْ يَطْمَعُونَ

And when their eyes are turned towards the companions of the Fire, they say: “Our Lord: place Thou not us with the wrongdoing people.”

وَاِذَا صُرِفَتْ اَبْصَارُهُمْ تِلْقَٓاءَ اَصْحَابِ النَّارِۙ قَالُوا رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِم۪ينَ۟

And the companions of the elevations will call to men, recognising them by their mark, saying: “What did it avail you, your accumulating, and that you waxed proud?

وَنَادٰٓى اَصْحَابُ الْاَعْرَافِ رِجَالاً يَعْرِفُونَهُمْ بِس۪يمٰيهُمْ قَالُوا مَٓا اَغْنٰى عَنْكُمْ جَمْعُكُمْ وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ

“Are these they whom you swore God would never reach with mercy?” — “Enter the Garden! You need not fear, nor will you grieve!”

And the companions of the Fire will call to the companions of the Garden: “Pour forth upon us some water, or some of what God has provided for you.” They will say: “God has made both unlawful to the false claimers of guidance:

“Those who took their doctrine as play and diversion, and whom the life of this world deluded.” — “So this day do We forget them, even as they forgot the meeting of this their day, and as they rejected Our proofs.”

اَلَّذ۪ينَ اتَّخَذُوا د۪ينَهُمْ لَهْواً وَلَعِباً وَغَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَاۚ فَالْيَوْمَ نَنْسٰيهُمْ كَمَا نَسُوا لِقَٓاءَ يَوْمِهِمْ هٰذَاۙ وَمَا كَانُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ

And We have brought them a Writ which We set out and detailed according to knowledge — a guidance and mercy for people who believe.

وَلَقَدْ جِئْنَاهُمْ بِكِتَابٍ فَصَّلْنَاهُ عَلٰى عِلْمٍ هُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ

Look they save for the fulfilment thereof? The day the fulfilment thereof comes, those who had forgotten it before will say: “The messengers of our Lord came with the truth, so have we any intercessors that might intercede for us? Or will we be sent back that we might do other than what we did?” They will have lost their souls; and strayed from them will be what they invented.

Your Lord is God, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then established Himself upon the Throne. He covers the night, the day hastening after it swiftly, and the sun and the moon and the stars are subject by His command. In truth, His are the creation and the command. Blessed be God, the Lord of All Creation!

Call to your Lord humbly and in secret. He loves not the transgressors

اُدْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعاً وَخُفْيَةًۜ اِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَد۪ينَۚ

So work not corruption in the land after its right ordering. And call to Him in fear and hope; the mercy of God is near to the doers of good.

وَلَا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ بَعْدَ اِصْلَاحِهَا وَادْعُوهُ خَوْفاً وَطَمَعاًۜ اِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللّٰهِ قَر۪يبٌ مِنَ الْمُحْسِن۪ينَ

And He it is that sends the winds as glad tidings before His mercy. When they have gathered up heavy clouds, We drive them to a dead land and send down the water therein, and bring forth therewith every fruit, — thus will We bring forth the dead — that you might take heed.

وَهُوَ الَّذ۪ي يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ بُشْراً بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِه۪ۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَٓا اَقَلَّتْ سَحَاباً ثِقَالاً سُقْنَاهُ لِبَلَدٍ مَيِّتٍ فَاَنْزَلْنَا بِهِ الْمَٓاءَ فَاَخْرَجْنَا بِه۪ مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِۜ كَذٰلِكَ نُخْرِجُ الْمَوْتٰى لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

And the good land: its vegetation comes forth by the leave of its Lord; and what is bad comes not forth save with difficulty. Thus do We expound the proofs for people who are grateful.

وَالْبَلَدُ الطَّيِّبُ يَخْرُجُ نَبَاتُهُ بِاِذْنِ رَبِّه۪ۚ وَالَّذ۪ي خَبُثَ لَا يَخْرُجُ اِلَّا نَكِداًۜ كَذٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ الْاٰيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَشْكُرُونَ۟

We sent Noah to his people, and he said: “O my people: serve God; you have no god but He; I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous day.”

“Do you marvel that there has come to you remembrance from your Lord through a man among you, that he should warn you, and that you should be in prudent fear, and that you might obtain mercy?”

Then they denied him; so We delivered him and those with him in the ship, and drowned those who denied Our proofs; they were a blind people.

قَالُٓوا اَجِئْتَنَا لِنَعْبُدَ اللّٰهَ وَحْدَهُ وَنَذَرَ مَا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اٰبَٓاؤُ۬نَاۚ فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَٓا اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِق۪ينَ

So We delivered him and those with him by mercy from Us, and We cut off the root of those who denied Our proofs; and they were not believers.

Said the eminent ones who had waxed proud among his people to those they counted weak, to those who believed among them: “Know you that Ṣāliḥ is an emissary from his Lord?” They said: “We believe in that wherewith he has been sent.”

قَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذ۪ينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا مِنْ قَوْمِه۪ لِلَّذ۪ينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا لِمَنْ اٰمَنَ مِنْهُمْ اَتَعْلَمُونَ اَنَّ صَالِحاً مُرْسَلٌ مِنْ رَبِّه۪ۜ قَالُٓوا اِنَّا بِمَٓا اُرْسِلَ بِه۪ مُؤْمِنُونَ

And they hamstrung the she-camel; and they scorned the command of their Lord, saying: “O Ṣāliḥ: bring thou us what thou promisest us, if thou be among the emissaries.”

فَعَقَرُوا النَّاقَةَ وَعَتَوْا عَنْ اَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ وَقَالُوا يَا صَالِحُ ائْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَٓا اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الْمُرْسَل۪ينَ

So he turned from them, and said: “O my people: I had conveyed to you the message of my Lord, and been a sincere counsellor to you; but you love not sincere counsellors.”

فَتَوَلّٰى عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَقَدْ اَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَالَةَ رَبّ۪ي وَنَصَحْتُ لَـكُمْ وَلٰكِنْ لَا تُحِبُّونَ النَّاصِح۪ينَ

And to Madyan, their brother Shuʿayb. He said: “O my people: serve God; you have no god but He; there has come to you clear evidence from your Lord, so fulfil the measure and the balance, and deprive not people of their possessions; and work not corruption in the land after its right ordering; that is better for you, if you be believers.

وَاِلٰى مَدْيَنَ اَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْباًۜ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۜ قَدْ جَٓاءَتْكُمْ بَيِّنَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ فَاَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَالْم۪يزَانَ وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ اَشْيَٓاءَهُمْ وَلَا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ بَعْدَ اِصْلَاحِهَاۜ ذٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِن۪ينَۚ

“And lie not in wait on every road, threatening and turning away from the path of God him who believes in Him, and seeking deviation therein. And remember when you were few, and He multiplied you; and see how was the final outcome of the workers of corruption.

وَلَا تَقْعُدُوا بِكُلِّ صِرَاطٍ تُوعِدُونَ وَتَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ مَنْ اٰمَنَ بِه۪ وَتَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجاًۚ وَاذْكُرُٓوا اِذْ كُنْتُمْ قَل۪يلاً فَكَثَّرَكُمْۖ وَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِد۪ينَ

“And if a number among you believes in that wherewith I have been sent, and a number believes not: be patient until God judges between us; and He is the best of judges.”

وَاِنْ كَانَ طَٓائِفَةٌ مِنْكُمْ اٰمَنُوا بِالَّـذ۪ٓي اُرْسِلْتُ بِه۪ وَطَٓائِفَةٌ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا فَاصْبِرُوا حَتّٰى يَحْكُمَ اللّٰهُ بَيْنَنَاۚ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْحَاكِم۪ينَ

Said the eminent ones who had waxed proud among his people: “We will turn thee, O Shuʿayb, and those who heed warning with thee, out of our city if you return not to our creed.” He said: “Even though we be unwilling?

قَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذ۪ينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا مِنْ قَوْمِه۪ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكَ يَا شُعَيْبُ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا مَعَكَ مِنْ قَرْيَتِنَٓا اَوْ لَتَعُودُنَّ ف۪ي مِلَّتِنَاۜ قَالَ اَوَلَوْ كُنَّا كَارِه۪ينَ

“We should have invented a lie about God if we returned to your creed after God has delivered us from it. It is not for us to return to it save if God our Lord should will. Our Lord encompasses all things in knowledge. In God have we placed our trust.” — “Our Lord, decide Thou between us and our people with justice, for Thou art the best of those who give decision.”

And said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people: “If you follow Shuʿayb, you will then be the losers.”

وَقَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ قَوْمِه۪ لَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتُمْ شُعَيْباً اِنَّكُمْ اِذاً لَخَاسِرُونَ

Waqala almalao allatheenakafaroo min qawmihi la-ini ittabaAAtum shuAAayban innakum ithanlakhasiroon

So the earthquake seized them; and morning found them lying prone in their home,

فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوا ف۪ي دَارِهِمْ جَاثِم۪ينَۚۛ

Faakhathat-humu arrajfatu faasbahoofee darihim jathimeen

Those who denied Shuʿayb, as though they had never lived therein; those who denied Shuʿayb, it was they who were the losers.

اَلَّذ۪ينَ كَذَّبُوا شُعَيْباً كَاَنْ لَمْ يَغْنَوْا ف۪يهَاۚۛ اَلَّذ۪ينَ كَذَّبُوا شُعَيْباً كَانُوا هُمُ الْخَاسِر۪ينَ

Then he turned from them and said: “O my people: I had conveyed to you the messages of my Lord, and been a sincere counsellor to you; so how should I grieve for a people of false claimers of guidance?”

فَتَوَلّٰى عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَقَدْ اَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَالَاتِ رَبّ۪ي وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْۚ فَكَيْفَ اٰسٰى عَلٰى قَوْمٍ كَافِر۪ينَ۟

Fatawalla AAanhum waqala yaqawmi laqad ablaghtukum risalati rabbee wanasahtulakum fakayfa asa AAala qawmin kafireen

And We sent not to a city a prophet save that We took its people with affliction and adversity, that they might humble themselves.

وَمَٓا اَرْسَلْنَا ف۪ي قَرْيَةٍ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ اِلَّٓا اَخَذْنَٓا اَهْلَهَا بِالْبَأْسَٓاءِ وَالضَّرَّٓاءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَضَّرَّعُونَ

Wama arsalna fee qaryatin minnabiyyin illa akhathna ahlaha bilba/sa-iwaddarra-i laAAallahum yaddarraAAoon

Then We changed the place of evil for good until they increased in number and said: “Adversity and prosperity did touch our fathers,” — then We took them unawares, when they perceived not.

ثُمَّ بَدَّلْنَا مَكَانَ السَّيِّئَةِ الْحَسَنَةَ حَتّٰى عَفَوْا وَقَالُوا قَدْ مَسَّ اٰبَٓاءَنَا الضَّرَّٓاءُ وَالسَّرَّٓاءُ فَاَخَذْنَاهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

Thumma baddalna makana assayyi-atialhasanata hatta AAafaw waqaloo qadmassa abaana addarraowassarrao faakhathnahum baghtatanwahum la yashAAuroon

And had the people of the cities believed and been in prudent fear, We would have opened upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied, so We seized them for what they earned.

وَلَوْ اَنَّ اَهْلَ الْقُرٰٓى اٰمَنُوا وَاتَّقَوْا لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَرَكَاتٍ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَلٰكِنْ كَذَّبُوا فَاَخَذْنَاهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

Walaw anna ahla alqura amanoowattaqaw lafatahna AAalayhim barakatinmina assama-i wal-ardi walakinkaththaboo faakhathnahum bima kanooyaksiboon

Did then the people of the cities feel secure from Our might coming upon them by night while they slept?

اَفَاَمِنَ اَهْلُ الْقُرٰٓى اَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ بَأْسُنَا بَيَاتاً وَهُمْ نَٓائِمُونَۜ

Afaamina ahlu alqura an ya/tiyahumba/suna bayatan wahum na-imoon

Or did the people of the cities feel secure from Our might coming upon them at midday while they played?

اَوَاَمِنَ اَهْلُ الْقُرٰٓى اَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ بَأْسُنَا ضُحًى وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ

Awa amina ahlu alqura an ya/tiyahumba/suna duhan wahum yalAAaboon

Did they then feel secure from the scheme of God? And none feels secure from the scheme of God save the losing people.

اَفَاَمِنُوا مَكْرَ اللّٰهِۚ فَلَا يَأْمَنُ مَكْرَ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ۟

Is it not guidance to those who inherit the land after its people that, if We willed, We would strike them for their transgressions, and seal their hearts so they hear not?

اَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لِلَّذ۪ينَ يَرِثُونَ الْاَرْضَ مِنْ بَعْدِ اَهْلِهَٓا اَنْ لَوْ نَشَٓاءُ اَصَبْنَاهُمْ بِذُنُوبِهِمْۚ وَنَطْبَعُ عَلٰى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ

Awa lam yahdi lillatheena yarithoonaal-arda min baAAdi ahliha an law nashao asabnahumbithunoobihim wanatbaAAu AAala quloobihimfahum la yasmaAAoon

Those cities: We relate some of their reports to thee; and their messengers came to them with clear signs, but they were not to believe in what they had denied before; thus God seals the hearts of the false claimers of guidance.

تِلْكَ الْقُرٰى نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ اَنْـبَٓائِهَاۚ وَلَقَدْ جَٓاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِۚ فَمَا كَانُوا لِيُؤْمِنُوا بِمَا كَذَّبُوا مِنْ قَبْلُۜ كَذٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى قُلُوبِ الْكَافِر۪ينَ

And We found not for most of them any covenant; but We found most of them perfidious.

Then We raised up after them Moses with Our proofs to Pharaoh and his eminent ones, but they wronged them; then see thou how was the final outcome of the workers of corruption: —

ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ مُوسٰى بِاٰيَاتِنَٓا اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَا۬ئِه۪ فَظَلَمُوا بِهَاۚ فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِد۪ينَ

Thumma baAAathna min baAAdihim moosabi-ayatina ila firAAawna wamala-ihifathalamoo biha fanuthurkayfa kana AAaqibatu almufsideen

And Moses said: “O Pharaoh: I am a messenger from the Lord of All Creation,

وَقَالَ مُوسٰى يَا فِرْعَوْنُ اِنّ۪ي رَسُولٌ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَم۪ينَۚ

“Obliged to ascribe not to God save the truth. I have come to you with clear evidence from your Lord; so send thou with me the children of Israel.”

حَق۪يقٌ عَلٰٓى اَنْ لَٓا اَقُولَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الْحَقَّۜ قَدْ جِئْتُكُمْ بِبَيِّنَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ فَاَرْسِلْ مَعِيَ بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَۜ

Said he: “If thou hast come with a proof, bring thou it, if thou be of the truthful.”

So he cast his staff — and then was it a clear serpent!

Faalqa AAasahu fa-ithahiya thuAAbanun mubeen

And he drew forth his hand — and then was it white for the beholders!

Said the eminent ones of the people of Pharaoh: “This is a learned sorcerer

They said: “Delay thou him and his brother, and send thou into the cities gatherers

“To bring to thee every learned sorcerer.”

And the sorcerers came to Pharaoh. They said: “There is a reward for us if we be the victors.”

وَجَٓاءَ السَّحَرَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ قَالُٓوا اِنَّ لَنَا لَاَجْراً اِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِب۪ينَ

They said: “O Moses: wilt thou cast, or will we be the ones who cast?”

He said: “Cast.” And when they cast, they bewitched the eyes of the people, and struck fear into them, and they produced a mighty sorcery.

قَالَ اَلْقُواۚ فَلَمَّٓا اَلْقَوْا سَحَرُٓوا اَعْيُنَ النَّاسِ وَاسْتَرْهَبُوهُمْ وَجَٓاؤُ۫ بِسِحْرٍ عَظ۪يمٍ

And We instructed Moses: “Cast thou thy staff,” — and then it swallowed up what they falsified!

Thereupon were they defeated; and they turned about, brought low.

Said Pharaoh: “You believe in him before I gave you leave. This is a scheme you schemed in the city that you might turn out its people. But you will come to know!

They said: “We are returning to our Lord.

“And thou resentest us only that we believed in the proofs of our Lord when they came to us.” — “Our Lord: pour Thou out patience upon us, and take Thou us as ones submitting.”

And the eminent ones among the people of Pharaoh said: “Wilt thou leave Moses and his people to work corruption in the land, and leave thee and thy gods?” Said he: “We will kill their sons and spare their women; for indeed we have them in subjugation.”

وَقَالَ الْمَلَأُ مِنْ قَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ اَتَذَرُ مُوسٰى وَقَوْمَهُ لِيُفْسِدُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ وَيَذَرَكَ وَاٰلِهَتَكَۜ قَالَ سَنُقَتِّلُ اَبْنَٓاءَهُمْ وَنَسْتَحْـي۪ نِسَٓاءَهُمْۚ وَاِنَّا فَوْقَهُمْ قَاهِرُونَ

And Moses said to his people: “Seek help in God, and be patient; the earth belongs to God; He causes to inherit it whom He wills among his servants. And the final outcome is for those of prudent fear.”

قَالَ مُوسٰى لِقَوْمِهِ اسْتَع۪ينُوا بِاللّٰهِ وَاصْبِرُواۚ اِنَّ الْاَرْضَ لِلّٰهِۚ يُورِثُهَا مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِه۪ۜ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّق۪ينَ

They said: “We have been hindered before thou camest to us and since thou camest to us.” Said he: “It may be that your Lord will destroy your enemy, and make you successors in the earth, so He might see how you will do.”

قَالُٓوا اُو۫ذ۪ينَا مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ تَأْتِيَنَا وَمِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جِئْتَنَاۜ قَالَ عَسٰى رَبُّكُمْ اَنْ يُهْلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْلِفَكُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ فَيَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ۟

And We seized the house of Pharaoh with drought and loss of crops, that they might take heed.

And when good came to them, they said: “This is ours.” And if evil befell them, they thought Moses and those with him an evil omen; in truth, their evil omen was but with God, but most of them knew not.

فَاِذَا جَٓاءَتْهُمُ الْحَسَنَةُ قَالُوا لَنَا هٰذِه۪ۚ وَاِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَطَّيَّرُوا بِمُوسٰى وَمَنْ مَعَهُۜ اَلَٓا اِنَّمَا طَٓائِرُهُمْ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

And We sent upon them the flood, and the locusts, and the lice, and the frogs, and the blood — proofs set out and detailed — but they had waxed proud and were a people of lawbreakers.

فَاَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الطُّوفَانَ وَالْجَرَادَ وَالْقُمَّلَ وَالضَّفَادِعَ وَالدَّمَ اٰيَاتٍ مُفَصَّلَاتٍ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا وَكَانُوا قَوْماً مُجْرِم۪ينَ

And when the scourge came upon them, they said: “O Moses: call thou to thy Lord for us by what He covenanted with thee: if thou remove the scourge from us, we will believe thee, and send the children of Israel with thee.”

وَلَمَّا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِمُ الرِّجْزُ قَالُوا يَا مُوسَى ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِنْدَكَۚ لَئِنْ كَشَفْتَ عَنَّا الرِّجْزَ لَنُؤْمِنَنَّ لَكَ وَلَنُرْسِلَنَّ مَعَكَ بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَۚ

And We took vengeance on them, and drowned them in the sea because they denied Our proofs and were heedless of them.

And We caused the people who were despised to inherit the east of the land and its west which We had blessed. And the most fair word of thy Lord was fulfilled to the children of Israel because they were patient; and We annihilated what Pharaoh and his people wrought and what they built.

And We passed the children of Israel through the sea; and they came upon a people devoted to idols which they had. They said: “O Moses: make thou for us a god, just as they have gods.” He said: “You are a people in ignorance.

And We appointed for Moses thirty nights, and completed them with ten; so he completed the time appointed by his Lord of forty nights. And Moses said to his brother Aaron: “Be thou my successor among my people; and make thou right; and follow thou not the path of the workers of corruption.”

And when Moses came at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said: “My Lord: show Thou me that I might look upon Thee.” Said He: “Thou wilt not see Me; but look thou upon the mountain: if it should remain in its place, then thou wilt see Me.” And when his Lord was revealed upon the mountain, He made it level; and Moses fell down thunderstruck. Then when he recovered, he said: “Glory be to Thee! I turn to Thee repentant; and I am the first of the believers!”

For it is that they denied Our proofs and were heedless of them!”

And the people of Moses, while he was away, took up a calf out of their ornaments — a body that lowed. Did they not consider that it spoke not to them, neither guided them to a path? They took it up, and were wrongdoers.

And when Moses returned to his people, wrathful and grieved, he said: “Evil is what you took up while I was away; were you impatient over the command of your Lord?” And he cast down the tablets, and seized his brother by the head, dragging him to him. Said he: “Son of my mother: the people despised me and were about to kill me. Then cause thou not the enemies to gloat over me, nor place thou me with the wrongdoing people.”

And when thy Lord proclaimed that He would raise up against them, until the Day of Resurrection, him who would afflict them with an evil punishment. Thy Lord is swift in retribution; and He is forgiving and merciful.

وَاِذْ تَاَذَّنَ رَبُّكَ لَيَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ مَنْ يَسُومُهُمْ سُٓوءَ الْعَذَابِۜ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَسَر۪يعُ الْعِقَابِۚ وَاِنَّهُ لَغَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ

Wa-ith taaththana rabbukalayabAAathanna AAalayhim ila yawmi alqiyamati manyasoomuhum soo-a alAAathabi inna rabbaka lasareeAAu alAAiqabiwa-innahu laghafoorun raheem

And We divided them in the earth into communities — some of them righteous, and some of them other than that — and We tried them with good things and evil deeds, that they might return.

وَقَطَّعْنَاهُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ اُمَماًۚ مِنْهُمُ الصَّالِحُونَ وَمِنْهُمْ دُونَ ذٰلِكَۘ وَبَلَوْنَاهُمْ بِالْحَسَنَاتِ وَالسَّيِّـَٔاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

And there followed after them successors who inherited the Writ, taking the goods of this fleeting life, and saying: “It will be forgiven us.” And if there come to them goods the like thereof, they will take them. Has there not been taken from them an agreement to the Writ, that they ascribe not to God save the truth, and that they study what is therein? And the abode of the Hereafter is better for those of prudent fear. Will you then not use reason!

فَخَلَفَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ وَرِثُوا الْكِتَابَ يَأْخُذُونَ عَرَضَ هٰذَا الْاَدْنٰى وَيَقُولُونَ سَيُغْفَرُ لَنَاۚ وَاِنْ يَأْتِهِمْ عَرَضٌ مِثْلُهُ يَأْخُذُوهُۜ اَلَمْ يُؤْخَذْ عَلَيْهِمْ م۪يثَاقُ الْكِتَابِ اَنْ لَا يَقُولُوا عَلَى اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الْحَقَّ وَدَرَسُوا مَا ف۪يهِۜ وَالدَّارُ الْاٰخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِلَّذ۪ينَ يَتَّقُونَۜ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

And those who hold fast the Writ, and uphold the duty — We cause not to be lost the reward of those who do right.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ يُمَسِّكُونَ بِالْكِتَابِ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَۜ اِنَّا لَا نُض۪يعُ اَجْرَ الْمُصْلِح۪ينَ

And when We raised the mountain above them as if it were a canopy: — and they supposed it was to fall upon them — “Hold fast what We give you; and remember what is therein, that you might be in prudent fear.”

وَاِذْ نَتَقْنَا الْجَبَلَ فَوْقَهُمْ كَاَنَّهُ ظُلَّةٌ وَظَنُّٓوا اَنَّهُ وَاقِعٌ بِهِمْۚ خُذُوا مَٓا اٰتَيْنَاكُمْ بِقُوَّةٍ وَاذْكُرُوا مَا ف۪يهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ۟

And when thy Lord brought forth from the children of Adam, from their backs, their progeny, and made them bear witness as to themselves: “Am I not your Lord?” — they said: “Verily, we bear witness.” — “Lest you say on the Day of Resurrection: ‘Of this were we unaware,’

وَاِذْ اَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَن۪ٓي اٰدَمَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَاَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلٰٓى اَنْفُسِهِمْۚ اَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْۜ قَالُوا بَلٰىۚۛ شَهِدْنَاۚۛ اَنْ تَقُولُوا يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ اِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هٰذَا غَافِل۪ينَۙ

“Or you say: ‘Our fathers but ascribed a partnership before, and we were progeny after them; wilt Thou then destroy us for what the creators of vanity did?’”

اَوْ تَقُولُٓوا اِنَّـمَٓا اَشْرَكَ اٰبَٓاؤُ۬نَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا ذُرِّيَّةً مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْۚ اَفَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ

And thus do We set out and detail the proofs, and that they might return.

Wakathalika nufassilu al-ayatiwalaAAallahum yarjiAAoon

And recite thou to them the report of him to whom We gave Our proofs, but he detached himself from them; so the satan followed him, and he was of those who err.

وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَاَ الَّـذ۪ٓي اٰتَيْنَاهُ اٰيَاتِنَا فَانْسَلَخَ مِنْهَا فَاَتْبَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْغَاو۪ينَ

And had We willed, We would have raised him thereby; but he clung to the earth and followed his vain desire. So his likeness is as the likeness of a dog: if thou win him over, he pants; or if thou leave him, he pants. That is the likeness of the people who deny Our proofs; so relate thou to them the story, that they might reflect.

وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنَاهُ بِهَا وَلٰكِنَّهُٓ اَخْلَدَ اِلَى الْاَرْضِ وَاتَّـبَعَ هَوٰيهُۚ فَمَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِۚ اِنْ تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْهِ يَلْهَثْ اَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ يَلْهَثْۜ ذٰلِكَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذ۪ينَ كَذَّبُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَاۚ فَاقْصُصِ الْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

Evil as an example are the people who deny Our proofs, and they wrong their souls.

سَٓاءَ مَثَلاًۨ الْقَوْمُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَذَّبُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَا وَاَنْفُسَهُمْ كَانُوا يَظْلِمُونَ

Whom God guides, he is guided; and whom God sends astray, it is they who are the losers.

مَنْ يَهْدِ اللّٰهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَد۪يۚ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ

And We have created for Gehenna many among the domini and the servi: they have hearts wherewith they understand not; and they have eyes wherewith they see not; and they have ears wherewith they hear not. Those are like cattle; nay, — they are further astray — it is they who are the heedless.

And to God belong the fairest names; then call to Him by them, and leave those who deviate concerning His names; they will be rewarded for what they did.

وَلِلّٰهِ الْاَسْمَٓاءُ الْحُسْنٰى فَادْعُوهُ بِهَاۖ وَذَرُوا الَّذ۪ينَ يُلْحِدُونَ ف۪ٓي اَسْمَٓائِه۪ۜ سَيُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

And among those We created is a community which guides in truth and does justice thereby.

And those who deny Our proofs: We will deal with them by degrees whence they know not.

And I grant them respite; My plan is firm.

Have they not reflected? Their companion is not possessed; he is only a clear warner.

Have they not considered the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and what things God has created, and that it may be that their term has drawn nigh? And in what narration after this will they believe?

اَوَلَمْ يَنْظُرُوا ف۪ي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍۙ وَاَنْ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَكُونَ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ اَجَلُهُمْۚ فَبِاَيِّ حَد۪يثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ

Whom God sends astray, there is no guide for him; and He leaves them wandering blindly in their inordinacy.

They ask thee concerning the Hour: “When is its arrival?” Say thou: “Knowledge thereof is but with my Lord; none reveals its time save He. It weighs heavily in the heavens and the earth; it comes not upon you save unexpectedly.” They ask thee as though thou wert privy thereto; say thou: “Knowledge thereof is but with God”; but most men know not.

Say thou: “I have no power to do myself benefit or harm save that God should will. And had I knowledge of the Unseen, I would have acquired abundance of wealth, and evil would not have touched me; I am only a warner and bearer of glad tidings to people who believe.”

قُلْ لَٓا اَمْلِكُ لِنَفْس۪ي نَفْعاً وَلَا ضَراًّ اِلَّا مَا شَٓاءَ اللّٰهُۜ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ اَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ لَاسْتَكْثَرْتُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِۚ وَمَا مَسَّنِيَ السُّٓوءُ اِنْ اَنَا۬ اِلَّا نَذ۪يرٌ وَبَش۪يرٌ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ۟

He it is that created you from a single soul; and He created therefrom its mate, that he might be reassured thereby. Then when he covers her, she bears a light load, and she passes by with it. And when it becomes heavy they call to God, their Lord: “If Thou givest us a sound one, we will be among the grateful.”

هُوَ الَّذ۪ي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا لِيَسْكُنَ اِلَيْهَاۚ فَلَمَّا تَغَشّٰيهَا حَمَلَتْ حَمْلاً خَف۪يفاً فَمَرَّتْ بِه۪ۚ فَلَمَّٓا اَثْقَلَتْ دَعَوَا اللّٰهَ رَبَّهُمَا لَئِنْ اٰتَيْتَنَا صَالِحاً لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِر۪ينَ

Then when He gives them a sound one, they appoint Him partners in what He gave them; but exalted is God above that to which they ascribe a partnership!

فَلَمَّٓا اٰتٰيهُمَا صَالِحاً جَعَلَا لَهُ شُرَكَٓاءَ ف۪يمَٓا اٰتٰيهُمَاۚ فَتَعَالَى اللّٰهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Ascribe they a partnership to what creates not anything, when they are created?

And they are not able to help them, nor do they help themselves.

And if you invite them to the guidance, they follow you not: — it is the same to you whether you call to them, or are silent —

Those to whom you call other than God are servants like you; so call them, and let them respond to you if you be truthful.

Have they legs wherewith they walk? Or have they hands wherewith they hold? Or have they eyes wherewith they see? Or have they ears wherewith they hear? Say thou: “Call your partners; then scheme against me, and grant me no respite.

Take thou the surplus; and enjoin thou what is customary; and turn thou away from the ignorant.

And if there provoke thee a provocation from the satan, seek thou refuge in God; He is hearing and knowing.

Those who are in prudent fear, when a visitation from the satan touches them, they take heed — and then do they see.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ اتَّقَوْا اِذَا مَسَّهُمْ طَٓائِفٌ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ تَذَكَّرُوا فَاِذَا هُمْ مُبْصِرُونَۚ

And when thou bringest them not a proof, they say: “Oh, that thou hadst but chosen one!” Say thou: “I follow only what is revealed to me from my Lord; this is a means of insight from your Lord, and guidance, and a mercy for people who believe.”

وَاِذَا لَمْ تَأْتِهِمْ بِاٰيَةٍ قَالُوا لَوْلَا اجْتَبَيْتَهَاۜ قُلْ اِنَّـمَٓا اَتَّبِـعُ مَا يُوحٰٓى اِلَيَّ مِنْ رَبّ۪يۚ هٰذَا بَصَٓائِرُ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ

And remember thou thy Lord within thy soul in humility and fear; and without publicity of speech, morning and evening; and be thou not among the heedless.
