الۤرٰ تِلۡكَ اٰيٰتُ الۡـكِتٰبِ وَقُرۡاٰنٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ‏ ١

Alif-Laaam-Raa; tilka Aayaatul Kitaabi wa Qur-aa-nim Mubeen

Alif, Lām, Rā. These are the verses of the Book and a clear Qur’ān [i.e., recitation].

رُبَمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا لَوۡ كَانُوۡا مُسۡلِمِيۡنَ‏ ٢

Rubamaa yawaddul lazeena kafaroo law kaanoo muslimeen

Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish that they had been Muslims.

ذَرۡهُمۡ يَاۡكُلُوۡا وَيَتَمَتَّعُوۡا وَيُلۡهِهِمُ الۡاَمَلُ​ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ‏ ٣

Zarhum yaakuloo wa tatamatta'oo wa yulhihimul amalu fasawfa ya'lamoon

Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know.

وَمَاۤ اَهۡلَـكۡنَا مِنۡ قَرۡيَةٍ اِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَّعۡلُوۡمٌ‏ ٤

Wa maaa ahlaknaa min qaryatin illaa wa lahaa kitaabum ma'loom

And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree.

مَا تَسۡبِقُ مِنۡ اُمَّةٍ اَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسۡتَاْخِرُوۡنَ‏ ٥

Maa tasbiqu min ummatin ajalahaa wa maa yastaakhiroon

No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter.

وَ قَالُوۡا يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِىۡ نُزِّلَ عَلَيۡهِ الذِّكۡرُ اِنَّكَ لَمَجۡنُوۡنٌؕ‏ ٦

Wa qaaloo yaaa aiyuhal lazee nuzzila 'alaihiz Zikru innaka lamajnoon

And they say, "O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad.

لَوۡ مَا تَاۡتِيۡنَا بِالۡمَلٰۤٮِٕكَةِ اِنۡ كُنۡتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيۡنَ‏ ٧

Law maa taateenaa bil malaaa'ikati in kunta minas saadiqeen

Why do you not bring us the angels, if you should be among the truthful?"

مَا نُنَزِّلُ الۡمَلٰۤٮِٕكَةَ اِلَّا بِالۡحَـقِّ وَمَا كَانُوۡۤا اِذًا مُّنۡظَرِيۡنَ‏ ٨

Maa nunazzilul malaaa'i kata illaa bilhaqqi wa maa kaanooo izam munzareen

We do not send down the angels except with truth; and they [i.e., the disbelievers] would not then be reprieved.

اِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَزَّلۡنَا الذِّكۡرَ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ لَحٰـفِظُوۡنَ‏ ٩

Innaa Nahnu nazalnaz Zikra wa Innaa lahoo lahaa fizoon

Indeed, it is We who sent down the message [i.e., the Qur’ān], and indeed, We will be its guardian.

وَلَـقَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا مِنۡ قَبۡلِكَ فِىۡ شِيَعِ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَ‏ ١٠

Wa laqad arsalnaa min qablika fee shiya'il awwaleen

And We had certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muḥammad], among the sects of the former peoples.

وَمَا يَاۡتِيۡهِمۡ مِّنۡ رَّسُوۡلٍ اِلَّا كَانُوۡا بِهٖ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُوۡنَ‏ ١١

Wa maa yaateehim mir Rasoolin illaa kaanoo bihee yastahzi'oon

And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him.

كَذٰلِكَ نَسۡلُكُهٗ فِىۡ قُلُوۡبِ الۡمُجۡرِمِيۡنَۙ‏ ١٢

kazaalika naslukuhoo fee quloobil mujrimeen

Thus do We insert it [i.e., denial] into the hearts of the criminals.

لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِهٖ​ۚ وَقَدۡ خَلَتۡ سُنَّةُ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَ‏ ١٣

Laa yu'minoona bihee wa qad khalat sunnatul awwaleen

They will not believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former peoples.

وَلَوۡ فَتَحۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ بَابًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّوۡا فِيۡهِ يَعۡرُجُوۡنَۙ‏ ١٤

Wa law fatahnaa 'alaihim baabam minas samaaa'i fazaloo feehi ya'rujoon

And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend,

لَـقَالُوۡۤا اِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتۡ اَبۡصَارُنَا بَلۡ نَحۡنُ قَوۡمٌ مَّسۡحُوۡرُوۡنَ‏ ١٥

Laqaaloo innamaa sukkirat absaarunaa bal nahnu qawmum mashooroon

They would say, "Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic."

وَلَـقَدۡ جَعَلۡنَا فِى السَّمَآءِ بُرُوۡجًا وَّزَيَّـنّٰهَا لِلنّٰظِرِيۡنَۙ‏ ١٦

Wa laqad ja'alnaa fissamaaa'i buroojanw wa zaiyannaahaa linnaazireen

And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.

وَحَفِظۡنٰهَا مِنۡ كُلِّ شَيۡطٰنٍ رَّجِيۡمٍۙ‏ ١٧

Wa hafiznaahaa min kulli Shaitaanir rajeem

And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allāh]

اِلَّا مَنِ اسۡتَرَقَ السَّمۡعَ فَاَ تۡبَعَهٗ شِهَابٌ مُّبِيۡنٌ‏ ١٨

Illaa manis taraqas sam'a fa atba'ahoo shihaabum mubeen

Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame.

وَالۡاَرۡضَ مَدَدۡنٰهَا وَاَلۡقَيۡنَا فِيۡهَا رَوَاسِىَ وَاَنۡۢبَتۡنَا فِيۡهَا مِنۡ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ مَّوۡزُوۡنٍ‏ ١٩

Wal arda madadnaahaa wa alqainaa feehaa rawaasiya wa ambatnaa feehaa min kulli shai'im mawzoon

And the earth - We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing.

وَجَعَلۡنَا لَـكُمۡ فِيۡهَا مَعَايِشَ وَمَنۡ لَّسۡتُمۡ لَهٗ بِرٰزِقِيۡنَ‏ ٢٠

Wa ja'alnaa lakum feehaa ma'aayisha wa mal lastum lahoo biraaziqeen

And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers.

وَاِنۡ مِّنۡ شَىۡءٍ اِلَّا عِنۡدَنَا خَزَآٮِٕنُهٗ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهٗۤ اِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَّعۡلُوۡمٍ‏ ٢١

Wa im min shai'in illaa 'indanaa khazaaa 'inuhoo wa maa nunazziluhooo illaa biqadarim ma'loom

And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known [i.e., specified] measure.

​وَاَرۡسَلۡنَا الرِّيٰحَ لَوَاقِحَ فَاَنۡزَلۡنَا مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَاَسۡقَيۡنٰكُمُوۡهُ​ۚ وَمَاۤ اَنۡتُمۡ لَهٗ بِخٰزِنِيۡنَ‏ ٢٢

Wa arsalnar riyaaha la waaqiha fa anzalnaa minas samaaa'i maaa'an fa asqai naakumoohu wa maaa antum lahoo bikhaazineen

And We have sent the fertilizing winds and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers.

وَ اِنَّا لَــنَحۡنُ نُحۡىٖ وَنُمِيۡتُ وَنَحۡنُ الۡوٰرِثُوۡنَ‏ ٢٣

Wa innnaa la nahnu nuhyee wa numeetu wa nahnul waarisoon

And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor.

وَلَـقَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا الۡمُسۡتَقۡدِمِيۡنَ مِنۡكُمۡ وَلَـقَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا الۡمُسۡتَـاْخِرِيۡنَ‏ ٢٤

Wa la qad 'alimnal mustaqdimeena minkum wa laqad 'alimnal mustaakhireen

And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come].

وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحۡشُرُهُمۡ​ؕ اِنَّهٗ حَكِيۡمٌ عَلِيۡمٌ‏ ٢٥

Wa inna Rabbaka Huwa yahshuruhum; innahoo Hakeem 'Aleem

And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing.

وَلَـقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا الۡاِنۡسَانَ مِنۡ صَلۡصَالٍ مِّنۡ حَمَاٍ مَّسۡنُوۡنٍ​ۚ‏ ٢٦

Wa laqad khalaqnal insaana min salsaalim min hama im masnoon

And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud.

وَالۡجَـآنَّ خَلَقۡنٰهُ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ مِنۡ نَّارِ السَّمُوۡمِ‏ ٢٧

Waljaaanna khalaqnaahu min qablu min naaris samoom

And the jinn We created before from scorching fire.

وَاِذۡ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلۡمَلٰۤٮِٕكَةِ اِنِّىۡ خَالـِقٌۢ بَشَرًا مِّنۡ صَلۡصَالٍ مِّنۡ حَمَاٍ مَّسۡنُوۡنٍ‏ ٢٨

Wa iz qaala Rabbuka lilmalaaa' ikati innee khaaliqum basharam min salsaalim min hama im masnoon

And [mention, O Muḥammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud.

فَاِذَا سَوَّيۡتُهٗ وَنَفَخۡتُ فِيۡهِ مِنۡ رُّوۡحِىۡ فَقَعُوۡا لَهٗ سٰجِدِيۡنَ‏ ٢٩

Fa izaa sawwaituhoo wa nafakhtu feehi mir roohee faqa'oo lahoo saajideen

And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."

فَسَجَدَ الۡمَلٰۤٮِٕكَةُ كُلُّهُمۡ اَجۡمَعُوۡنَۙ‏ ٣٠

Fasajadal malaaa'ikatu kulluhum ajma'oon

So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely,

اِلَّاۤ اِبۡلِيۡسَؕ اَبٰٓى اَنۡ يَّكُوۡنَ مَعَ السّٰجِدِيۡنَ‏ ٣١

Illaaa ibleesa abaaa ai yakoona ma'as saajideen

Except Iblees; he refused to be with those who prostrated.

قَالَ يٰۤاِبۡلِيۡسُ مَا لَـكَ اَلَّا تَكُوۡنَ مَعَ السّٰجِدِيۡنَ‏ ٣٢

Qaala yaaa Ibleesu maa laka allaa takoona ma'as saajideen

[Allāh] said, "O Iblees, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate?"

قَالَ لَمۡ اَكُنۡ لِّاَسۡجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقۡتَهٗ مِنۡ صَلۡصَالٍ مِّنۡ حَمَاٍ مَّسۡنُوۡنٍ‏ ٣٣

Qaala lam akul li asjuda libasharin khalaqtahoo min salsaalim min hama im masnoon

He said, "Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud."

قَالَ فَاخۡرُجۡ مِنۡهَا فَاِنَّكَ رَجِيۡمٌۙ‏ ٣٤

Qaala fakhruj minhaa fa innaka rajeem

[Allāh] said, "Then depart from it, for indeed, you are expelled.

وَّاِنَّ عَلَيۡكَ اللَّعۡنَةَ اِلٰى يَوۡمِ الدِّيۡنِ‏ ٣٥

Wa inna 'alikal la'nata ilaa Yawmid Deen

And indeed, upon you is the curse until the Day of Recompense."

Qaala Rabbi fa anzirneee ilaa Yawmi yub'asoon

He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."

قَالَ فَاِنَّكَ مِنَ الۡمُنۡظَرِيۡنَۙ‏ ٣٧

Qaala fa innaka minal munzareen

[Allāh] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved

اِلٰى يَوۡمِ الۡوَقۡتِ الۡمَعۡلُوۡمِ‏ ٣٨

Ilaa Yawmil waqtil ma'loom

Until the Day of the time well-known."

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَاۤ اَغۡوَيۡتَنِىۡ لَاُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمۡ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ وَلَاُغۡوِيَـنَّهُمۡ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَۙ‏ ٣٩

Qaala Rabbi bimaaa aghwaitanee la uzayyinaana lahum fil ardi wa la ughwiyan nahum ajma'een

[Iblees] said, "My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make [disobedience] attractive to them [i.e., mankind] on earth, and I will mislead them all

اِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنۡهُمُ الۡمُخۡلَصِيۡنَ‏ ٤٠

Illaa 'ibaadaka minhumul mukhlaseen

Except, among them, Your chosen servants."

قَالَ هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ عَلَىَّ مُسۡتَقِيۡمٌ‏ ٤١

Qaala haaza Siraatun 'alaiya Mustaqeem

[Allāh] said, "This is a path [of return] to Me [that is] straight.

اِنَّ عِبَادِىۡ لَـيۡسَ لَكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سُلۡطٰنٌ اِلَّا مَنِ اتَّبَـعَكَ مِنَ الۡغٰوِيۡنَ‏ ٤٢

Inna 'ibaadee laisa laka 'alaihim sultaanun illaa manittaba'aka minal ghaaween

Indeed, My servants - no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators.

وَاِنَّ جَهَـنَّمَ لَمَوۡعِدُهُمۡ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَۙ‏ ٤٣

Wa inna jahannama lamaw'iduhum ajma'een

And indeed, Hell is the promised place for them all.

Lahaa sab'atu abwaab; likulli baabim minhum juz'um maqsoom

It has seven gates; for every gate is of them [i.e., Satan's followers] a portion designated."

اِنَّ الۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ فِىۡ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُيُوۡنٍؕ‏ ٤٥

Innal muttaqeena fee Jannaatinw wa 'uyoon

Indeed, the righteous will be within gardens and springs,

اُدۡخُلُوۡهَا بِسَلٰمٍ اٰمِنِيۡنَ‏ ٤٦

Udkhuloohaa bisalaamin aamineen

[Having been told], "Enter it in peace, safe [and secure]."

وَنَزَعۡنَا مَا فِىۡ صُدُوۡرِهِمۡ مِّنۡ غِلٍّ اِخۡوَانًا عَلٰى سُرُرٍ مُّتَقٰبِلِيۡنَ‏ ٤٧

Wa naza'naa ma fee sudoorihim min ghillin ikhwaanan 'alaa sururim mutaqaabileen

And We will remove whatever is in their breasts of resentment, [so they will be] brothers, on thrones facing each other.

Laa yamas suhum feehaa nasabunw wa maa hum minhaa bimukhrajeen

Wa anna 'azaabee uwal 'azaabul aleem

And that it is My punishment which is the painful punishment.

وَنَبِّئۡهُمۡ عَنۡ ضَيۡفِ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ​ۘ‏ ٥١

Wa nabbi'hum 'an daifi Ibraaheem

And inform them about the guests of Abraham,

Qaala abashshartumoonee 'alaaa am massaniyal kibaru fabima tubashshiroon

Qaala famaa khatbukum aiyuhal mursaloon

[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

Qaaloo innaaa ursilnaaa ilaa qawmim mujrimeen

They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals,

اِلَّاۤ اٰلَ لُوۡطٍؕ اِنَّا لَمُنَجُّوۡهُمۡ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَۙ‏ ٥٩

Illaaa Aala Loot; innaa lamunajjoohum ajma'een

Except the family of Lot; indeed, we will save them all

Illam ra atahoo qaddarnaaa innahaa laminal ghaabireen

Except his wife." We [i.e., Allāh] decreed that she is of those who remain behind.

Falamma jaaa'a Aala Lootinil mursaloon

And when the messengers came to the family of Lot,

قَالَ اِنَّـكُمۡ قَوۡمٌ مُّنۡكَرُوۡنَ‏ ٦٢

Qaala innakum qawmum munkaroon

He said, "Indeed, you are people unknown."

قَالُوۡا بَلۡ جِئۡنٰكَ بِمَا كَانُوۡا فِيۡهِ يَمۡتَرُوۡنَ‏ ٦٣

Qaaloo bal ji'naaka bimaa kaanoo feehi yamtaroon

They said, "But we have come to you with that about which they were disputing,

وَ اَتَيۡنٰكَ بِالۡحَـقِّ وَاِنَّا لَصٰدِقُوۡنَ‏ ٦٤

Wa atainaaka bilhaqqi wa innaa lasaadiqoon

And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful.

فَاَسۡرِ بِاَهۡلِكَ بِقِطۡعٍ مِّنَ الَّيۡلِ وَاتَّبِعۡ اَدۡبَارَهُمۡ وَلَا يَلۡـتَفِتۡ مِنۡكُمۡ اَحَدٌ وَّامۡضُوۡا حَيۡثُ تُؤۡمَرُوۡنَ‏ ٦٥

So set out with your family during a portion of the night and follow behind them and let not anyone among you look back and continue on to where you are commanded."

وَقَضَيۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡهِ ذٰ لِكَ الۡاَمۡرَ اَنَّ دَابِرَ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ مَقۡطُوۡعٌ مُّصۡبِحِيۡنَ‏ ٦٦

Wa qadainaaa ilaihi zaalikal amra anna daabira haaa'ulaaa'i maqtoo'um musbiheen

And We conveyed to him [the decree] of that matter: that those [sinners] would be eliminated by early morning.

وَجَآءَ اَهۡلُ الۡمَدِيۡنَةِ يَسۡتَـبۡشِرُوۡنَ‏ ٦٧

Wa jaaa'a ahlul madeenati yastabshiroon

And the people of the city came rejoicing.

Qaala inna haaa'ulaaa'i daifee falaa tafdahoon

Wattaqul laaha wa laa tukhzoon

And fear Allāh and do not disgrace me."

Qaalooo awalam nanhaka 'anil 'aalameen

They said, "Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?"

La'amruka innahum lafee sakratihim ya'mahoon

By your life, [O Muḥammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly.

فَاَخَذَتۡهُمُ الصَّيۡحَةُ مُشۡرِقِيۡنَۙ‏ ٧٣

Fa akhazat humus saihatu mushriqeen

So the shriek seized them at sunrise.

فَجَعَلۡنَا عَالِيـَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَ اَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةً مِّنۡ سِجِّيۡلٍؕ‏ ٧٤

Faja'alnaa 'aaliyahaa saafilahaa wa amtamaa 'alaihim hijaaratam min sjijjeel

And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay.

اِنَّ فِىۡ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّـلۡمُتَوَسِّمِيۡنَ‏ ٧٥

Indeed in that are signs for those who discern.

وَاِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيۡلٍ مُّقِيۡمٍ‏ ٧٦

Wa innahaa labi sabeelim muqeem

And indeed, they [i.e., those cities] are [situated] on an established road.

اِنَّ فِىۡ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّـلۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَؕ‏ ٧٧

Inna fee zaalika la Aayatal lilmu'mineen

Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.

وَاِنۡ كَانَ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡاَيۡكَةِ لَظٰلِمِيۡنَۙ‏ ٧٨

Wa in kaana Ashaabul Aikati lazaalimeen

And the companions of the thicket [i.e., the people of Madyan] were [also] wrongdoers,

فَانتَقَمۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡ​ۘ وَاِنَّهُمَا لَبِاِمَامٍ مُّبِيۡنٍؕ‏ ٧٩

Fantaqamnaa minhum wa innahumaa labi imaamim mubeen

So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway.

وَلَـقَدۡ كَذَّبَ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡحِجۡرِ الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَۙ‏ ٨٠

Wa laqad kazzaba ashaabul Hijril mursaleen

And certainly did the companions of al-Ḥijr [i.e., the Thamūd] deny the messengers.

وَاٰتَيۡنٰهُمۡ اٰيٰتِنَا فَكَانُوۡا عَنۡهَا مُعۡرِضِيۡنَۙ‏ ٨١

Wa aatainaahum Aayaatinaa fakaanoo 'anhaa mu'rideen

And We gave them Our signs, but from them they were turning away.

وَكَانُوۡا يَنۡحِتُوۡنَ مِنَ الۡجِبَالِ بُيُوۡتًا اٰمِنِيۡنَ‏ ٨٢

Wa kaanoo yanhitoona minal jibaali buyootan aamineen

And they used to carve from the mountains, houses, feeling secure.

فَاَخَذَتۡهُمُ الصَّيۡحَةُ مُصۡبِحِيۡنَۙ‏ ٨٣

Fa akhazat humus saihatu musbiheen

But the shriek seized them at early morning,

فَمَاۤ اَغۡنٰى عَنۡهُمۡ مَّا كَانُوۡا يَكۡسِبُوۡنَؕ‏ ٨٤

Famaaa aghnaa 'anhum maa kaanoo yaksiboon

So nothing availed them [from] what they used to earn.

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَاۤ اِلَّا بِالۡحَـقِّ​ ؕ وَاِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَاٰتِيَةٌ​ فَاصۡفَحِ الصَّفۡحَ الۡجَمِيۡلَ‏ ٨٥

Wa maa khalaqnas samaawaati wal arda wa maa bainahumaaa illaa bilhaqq; wa innas Saa'ata la aatiyatun fasfahis safhal jameel

And We have not created the heavens and earth and that between them except in truth. And indeed, the Hour is coming; so forgive with gracious forgiveness.

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الۡخَـلّٰقُ الۡعَلِيۡمُ‏ ٨٦

Inna Rabbaka Huwal khallaaqul 'aleem

Indeed, your Lord - He is the Knowing Creator.

وَلَـقَدۡ اٰتَيۡنٰكَ سَبۡعًا مِّنَ الۡمَـثَانِىۡ وَالۡـقُرۡاٰنَ الۡعَظِيۡمَ‏ ٨٧

Wa laqad aatainaaka sab'am mnal masaanee wal Qur-aanal 'azeem

And We have certainly given you, [O Muḥammad], seven of the often repeated [verses] and the great Qur’ān.

لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيۡنَيۡكَ اِلٰى مَا مَتَّعۡنَا بِهٖۤ اَزۡوَاجًا مِّنۡهُمۡ وَلَا تَحۡزَنۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَاخۡفِضۡ جَنَاحَكَ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ‏ ٨٨

Laa tamuddanna 'ainaika ilaa maa matta 'naa biheee azwaajam minhum wa laa tahzan 'alaihim wakhfid janaahaka lilmu 'mineen

Do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [certain] categories of them [i.e., the disbelievers], and do not grieve over them. And lower your wing [i.e., show kindness] to the believers.

وَقُلۡ اِنِّىۡۤ اَنَا النَّذِيۡرُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ​ۚ‏ ٨٩

Wa qul inneee anan nazeerul mubeen

And say, "Indeed, I am the clear warner" -

كَمَاۤ اَنۡزَلۡنَا عَلَى الۡمُقۡتَسِمِيۡنَۙ‏ ٩٠

Kamaaa anzalnaa 'alal muqtasimeen

Just as We had revealed [scriptures] to the separators

الَّذِيۡنَ جَعَلُوا الۡـقُرۡاٰنَ عِضِيۡنَ‏ ٩١

Allazeena ja'alul Quraana'ideen

Who have made the Qur’ān into portions.

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَـنَسۡــَٔلَـنَّهُمۡ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَۙ‏ ٩٢

Fawa Rabbika lanas'a lannahum ajma'een

So by your Lord, We will surely question them all

عَمَّا كَانُوۡا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ‏ ٩٣

Ammaa kaanoo ya'maloon

About what they used to do.

فَاصۡدَعۡ بِمَا تُؤۡمَرُ وَ اَعۡرِضۡ عَنِ الۡمُشۡرِكِيۡنَ‏ ٩٤

Fasda' bimaa tu'maru wa a'rid anil mushrikeen

Then declare what you are commanded and turn away from the polytheists.

اِنَّا كَفَيۡنٰكَ الۡمُسۡتَهۡزِءِيۡنَۙ‏ ٩٥

Innaa kafainaakal mustahzi'een

Indeed, We are sufficient for you against the mockers

الَّذِيۡنَ يَجۡعَلُوۡنَ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَ​ۚ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ‏ ٩٦

Allazeena yaj'aloona ma'al laahi ilaahan aakhar; fasawfa ya'lamoon

Who make [equal] with Allāh another deity. But they are going to know.

وَلَـقَدۡ نَـعۡلَمُ اَنَّكَ يَضِيۡقُ صَدۡرُكَ بِمَا يَقُوۡلُوۡنَۙ‏ ٩٧

Wa laqad na'lamu annak yadeequ sadruka bimaa yaqooloon

And We already know that your breast is constrained by what they say.

فَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُنۡ مِّنَ السّٰجِدِيۡنَۙ‏ ٩٨

Fasbbih bihamdi Rabbika wa kum minas saajideen

So exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate [to Him].

وَاعۡبُدۡ رَبَّكَ حَتّٰى يَاۡتِيَكَ الۡيَـقِيۡنُ‏ ٩٩

Wa'bud Rabbaka hattaa yaatiyakal yaqeen

And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty [i.e., death].
