وَالۡكِتٰبِ الۡمُبِيۡنِ ​ ۛ​ۙ‏ ٢

Wal Kitaabil Mubeen

By the clear Book,

اِنَّا جَعَلۡنٰهُ قُرۡءٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ​ۚ‏ ٣

Innaa ja'alnaahu Quraanan 'Arabiyyal la'allakum ta'qiloon

Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Qur’ān that you might understand.

وَاِنَّهٗ فِىۡۤ اُمِّ الۡكِتٰبِ لَدَيۡنَا لَعَلِىٌّ حَكِيۡمٌؕ‏ ٤

Wa innahoo feee Ummil Kitaabi Ladainaa la'aliyyun hakeem

And indeed it is, in the Mother of the Book with Us, exalted and full of wisdom.

اَفَنَضۡرِبُ عَنۡكُمُ الذِّكۡرَ صَفۡحًا اَنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ قَوۡمًا مُّسۡرِفِيۡنَ‏ ٥

Afanadribu 'ankumuz Zikra safhan an kuntum qawmam musrifeen

Then should We turn the message away, disregarding you, because you are a transgressing people?

وَكَمۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا مِنۡ نَّبِىٍّ فِى الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَ‏ ٦

Wa kam arsalnaa min Nabiyyin fil awwaleen

And how many a prophet We sent among the former peoples,

وَمَا يَاۡتِيۡهِمۡ مِّنۡ نَّبِىٍّ اِلَّا كَانُوۡا بِهٖ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُوۡنَ‏ ٧

Wa maa yaateehim min Nabiyyin illaa kaanoo bihee yasahzi'oon

But there would not come to them a prophet except that they used to ridicule him.

فَاَهۡلَـكۡنَاۤ اَشَدَّ مِنۡهُمۡ بَطۡشًا وَّمَضٰى مَثَلُ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَ‏ ٨

Fa ahlaknaaa ashadda minhum batshanw wa madaa masalul lawwaleen

And We destroyed greater than them in [striking] power, and the example of the former peoples has preceded.

وَلَٮِٕنۡ سَاَلۡتَهُمۡ مَّنۡ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ لَيَقُوۡلُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الۡعَلِيۡمُۙ‏ ٩

Wa la'in sa altahum man khalaqas samaawaati wal arda la yaqoolunna khalaqa hunnal 'Azeezul 'Aleem

And if you should ask them, "Who has created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "They were created by the Exalted in Might, the Knowing,"

الَّذِىۡ جَعَلَ لَـكُمُ الۡاَرۡضَ مَهۡدًا وَّ جَعَلَ لَكُمۡ فِيۡهَا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُوۡنَ​ۚ‏ ١٠

Allazee ja'ala lakumul arda mahdanw wa ja'ala lakum feehaa subulal la'allakum tahtadoon

[The one] who has made for you the earth a bed and made for you upon it roads that you might be guided

وَالَّذِىۡ نَزَّلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءًۢ بِقَدَرٍ​ۚ فَاَنۡشَرۡنَا بِهٖ بَلۡدَةً مَّيۡتًا​ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ تُخۡرَجُوۡنَ‏ ١١

Wallazee nazzala minas samaaa'i maaa'am biqadarin fa anshamaa bihee baldatam maitaa' kazaalika tukhrajoon

And who sends down rain from the sky in measured amounts, and We revive thereby a dead land - thus will you be brought forth -

وَالَّذِىۡ خَلَقَ الۡاَزۡوَاجَ كُلَّهَا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمۡ مِّنَ الۡفُلۡكِ وَالۡاَنۡعَامِ مَا تَرۡكَبُوۡنَۙ‏ ١٢

Wallazee khalaqal azwaaja kullahaa wa ja'ala lakum minal fulki wal-an'aami maa tarkaboon

And who created the species, all of them, and has made for you of ships and animals those which you mount

لِتَسۡتَوٗا عَلٰى ظُهُوۡرِهٖ ثُمَّ تَذۡكُرُوۡا نِعۡمَةَ رَبِّكُمۡ اِذَا اسۡتَوَيۡتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ وَتَقُوۡلُوۡا سُبۡحٰنَ الَّذِىۡ سَخَّرَ لَنَا هٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهٗ مُقۡرِنِيۡنَۙ‏ ١٣

Litastawoo 'alaa zuhoorihee summa tazkuroo ni'mata Rabbikum izastawaitum 'alaihi wa taqooloo Subhaanal lazee sakhkhara lana haaza wa maa kunnaa lahoo muqrineen

That you may settle yourselves upon their backs and then remember the favor of your Lord when you have settled upon them and say, "Exalted is He who has subjected this to us, and we could not have [otherwise] subdued it.

وَاِنَّاۤ اِلٰى رَبِّنَا لَمُنۡقَلِبُوۡنَ‏ ١٤

Wa innaaa ilaa Rabbinaa lamunqaliboon

And indeed we, to our Lord, will [surely] return."

وَجَعَلُوۡا لَهٗ مِنۡ عِبَادِهٖ جُزۡءًا​ ؕ اِنَّ الۡاِنۡسَانَ لَـكَفُوۡرٌ مُّبِيۡنٌ ؕ‏ ١٥

Wa ja'aloo lahoo min 'ibaadihee juz'aa; innal insaana lakafoorum mubeen

But they have attributed to Him from His servants a portion. Indeed, man is clearly ungrateful.

اَمِ اتَّخَذَ مِمَّا يَخۡلُقُ بَنٰتٍ وَّاَصۡفٰٮكُمۡ بِالۡبَنِيۡنَ‏ ١٦

Amit takhaza mimmaa yakhluqu banaatinw wa asfaakum bilbaneen

Or has He taken, out of what He has created, daughters and chosen you for [having] sons?

وَاِذَا بُشِّرَ اَحَدُهُمۡ بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحۡمٰنِ مَثَلًا ظَلَّ وَجۡهُهٗ مُسۡوَدًّا وَّهُوَ كَظِيۡمٌ‏ ١٧

Wa izaa bushshira ahaduhum bimaa daraba lir Rahmaani masalan zalla wajhuhoo muswaddanw wa hua kazeem

And when one of them is given good tidings of that which he attributes to the Most Merciful in comparison [i.e., a daughter], his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief.

اَوَمَنۡ يُّنَشَّؤُا فِى الۡحِلۡيَةِ وَهُوَ فِى الۡخِصَامِ غَيۡرُ مُبِيۡنٍ‏ ١٨

Awa mai yunashsha'u fil hilyati wa huwa fil khisaami ghairu mubeen

So is one brought up in ornaments while being during conflict unevident [attributed to Allāh]?

وَجَعَلُوا الۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةَ الَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ عِبَادُ الرَّحۡمٰنِ اِنَاثًا​ ؕ اَشَهِدُوۡا خَلۡقَهُمۡ​ ؕ سَتُكۡتَبُ شَهَادَتُهُمۡ وَيُسۡـَٔــلُوۡنَ‏ ١٩

Wa ja'alul malaaa'ikatal lazeena hum 'ibaadur Rahmaani inaasaa; a shahidoo khalaqhum; satuktabu shahaa datuhum wa yus'aloon

And they described the angels, who are servants of the Most Merciful, as females. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be recorded, and they will be questioned.

وَقَالُوۡا لَوۡ شَآءَ الرَّحۡمٰنُ مَا عَبَدۡنٰهُمۡ​ؕ مَا لَهُمۡ بِذٰلِكَ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍ​ اِنۡ هُمۡ اِلَّا يَخۡرُصُوۡنَؕ‏ ٢٠

Wa qaaloo law shaaa'ar Rahmaanu maa 'abadnaahum; maa lahum bizaalika min 'ilmin in hum illaa yakhrusoon

And they said, "If the Most Merciful had willed, we would not have worshipped them." They have of that no knowledge. They are not but misjudging.

اَمۡ اٰتَيۡنٰهُمۡ كِتٰبًا مِّنۡ قَبۡلِهٖ فَهُمۡ بِهٖ مُسۡتَمۡسِكُوۡنَ‏ ٢١

Am aatainaahum Kitaabam min qablihee fahum bihee mustamsikoon

Or have We given them a book before it [i.e., the Qur’ān] to which they are adhering?

بَلۡ قَالُـوۡۤا اِنَّا وَجَدۡنَاۤ اٰبَآءَنَا عَلٰٓى اُمَّةٍ وَّاِنَّا عَلٰٓى اٰثٰرِهِمۡ مُّهۡتَدُوۡنَ‏ ٢٢

Bal qaalooo innaa wajadnaaa aabaaa'anaa 'alaaa ummatinw wa innaa 'alaaa aasaarihim muhtadoon

Rather, they say, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are in their footsteps [rightly] guided."

وَكَذٰلِكَ مَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنَا مِنۡ قَبۡلِكَ فِىۡ قَرۡيَةٍ مِّنۡ نَّذِيۡرٍ اِلَّا قَالَ مُتۡرَفُوۡهَاۤ اِنَّا وَجَدۡنَاۤ اٰبَآءَنَا عَلٰٓى اُمَّةٍ وَّاِنَّا عَلٰٓى اٰثٰرِهِمۡ مُّقۡتَدُوۡنَ‏ ٢٣

Wa kazaalika maaa arsalnaa min qablika fee qaryatim min nazeerin illaa qaala mutrafoohaaa innaa wajadnaaa aabaaa'anaa 'alaaa ummatinw wa innaa 'alaaa aasaarihim muqtadoon

And similarly, We did not send before you any warner into a city except that its affluent said, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are, in their footsteps, following."

قٰلَ اَوَلَوۡ جِئۡتُكُمۡ بِاَهۡدٰى مِمَّا وَجَدْتُّمۡ عَلَيۡهِ اٰبَآءَكُمۡ​ ؕ قَالُوۡۤا اِنَّا بِمَاۤ اُرۡسِلۡـتُمۡ بِهٖ كٰفِرُوۡنَ‏ ٢٤

Qaala awa law ji'tukum bi ahdaa mimmaa wajattum 'alaihi aabaaa'akum qaalooo innaa bimaaa ursiltum bihee kaafiroon

[Each warner] said, "Even if I brought you better guidance than that [religion] upon which you found your fathers?" They said, "Indeed we, in that with which you were sent, are disbelievers."

فَانْتَقَمۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡ​ فَانْظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الۡمُكَذِّبِيۡنَ‏ ٢٥

Fantaqamnaa minhum fanzur kaifa kaana 'aaqibatul mukazzibeen

So We took retribution from them; then see how was the end of the deniers.

وَاِذۡ قَالَ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمُ لِاَبِيۡهِ وَقَوۡمِهٖۤ اِنَّنِىۡ بَرَآءٌ مِّمَّا تَعۡبُدُوۡنَۙ‏ ٢٦

Wa iz qaala Ibraaheemu liabeehi wa qawmiheee innane baraaa'um mimmaa ta'budo

And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Abraham said to his father and his people, "Indeed, I am disassociated from that which you worship

اِلَّا الَّذِىۡ فَطَرَنِىۡ فَاِنَّهٗ سَيَهۡدِيۡنِ‏ ٢٧

Illal lazee fataranee innahoo sa yahdeen

Except for He who created me; and indeed, He will guide me."

وَ جَعَلَهَا كَلِمَةًۢ بَاقِيَةً فِىۡ عَقِبِهٖ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُوۡنَ‏ ٢٨

Wa ja'alahaa Kalimatam baaqiyatan fee 'aqibihee la'al lahum yarji'oon

And he made it a word remaining among his descendants that they might return [to it].

بَلۡ مَتَّعۡتُ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ وَاٰبَآءَهُمۡ حَتّٰى جَآءَهُمُ الۡحَقُّ وَرَسُوۡلٌ مُّبِيۡنٌ‏ ٢٩

Bal matta'tu haaa'ulaaa'i wa aabaaa'ahum hattaa jaaa'a humul haqqu wa Rasoolum mubeen

However, I gave enjoyment to these [people of Makkah] and their fathers until there came to them the truth and a clear Messenger.

وَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ الۡحَقُّ قَالُوۡا هٰذَا سِحۡرٌ وَّاِنَّا بِهٖ كٰفِرُوۡنَ‏ ٣٠

Wa lammaa jaaa'ahumul haqqu qaaloo haazaa sihrunw wa innaa bihee kaafiroon

But when the truth came to them, they said, "This is magic, and indeed we are, concerning it, disbelievers."

وَقَالُوۡا لَوۡلَا نُزِّلَ هٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنُ عَلٰى رَجُلٍ مِّنَ الۡقَرۡيَتَيۡنِ عَظِيۡمٍ‏ ٣١

Wa qaaloo law laa nuzzila haazal Quraanu 'alaa rajulim minal qaryataini 'azeem

And they said, "Why was this Qur’ān not sent down upon a great man from [one of] the two cities?"

اَهُمۡ يَقۡسِمُوۡنَ رَحۡمَتَ رَبِّكَ​ ؕ نَحۡنُ قَسَمۡنَا بَيۡنَهُمۡ مَّعِيۡشَتَهُمۡ فِى الۡحَيٰوةِ الدُّنۡيَا وَرَفَعۡنَا بَعۡضَهُمۡ فَوۡقَ بَعۡضٍ دَرَجٰتٍ لِّيَـتَّخِذَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ بَعۡضًا سُخۡرِيًّا​ ؕ وَرَحۡمَتُ رَبِّكَ خَيۡرٌ مِّمَّا يَجۡمَعُوۡنَ‏ ٣٢

Ahum yaqsimoona rahmata Rabbik; Nahnu qasamnaa bainahum ma'eeshatahum fil hayaatid dunyaa wa rafa'naa ba'dahum fawqa ba'din darajaatil liyattakhiza ba'duhum ba'dan sukhriyyaa; wa rahmatu Rabbika khairum mimmaa yajma'oon

Do they distribute the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of this world and have raised some of them above others in degrees [of rank] that they may make use of one another for service. But the mercy of your Lord is better than whatever they accumulate.

وَلَوۡلَاۤ اَنۡ يَّكُوۡنَ النَّاسُ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً لَّجَـعَلۡنَا لِمَنۡ يَّكۡفُرُ بِالرَّحۡمٰنِ لِبُيُوۡتِهِمۡ سُقُفًا مِّنۡ فِضَّةٍ وَّمَعَارِجَ عَلَيۡهَا يَظۡهَرُوۡنَۙ‏ ٣٣

Wa law laaa any yakoonan naasu ummatanw waahidatal laja'alnaa limany yakfuru bir Rahmaani libu yootihim suqufam min fiddatinw wa ma'aarija 'alaihaa yazharoon

And if it were not that the people would become one community [of disbelievers], We would have made for those who disbelieve in the Most Merciful - for their houses - ceilings and stairways of silver upon which to mount.

وَلِبُيُوۡتِهِمۡ اَبۡوَابًا وَّسُرُرًا عَلَيۡهَا يَتَّكِــُٔوۡنَۙ‏ ٣٤

Wa libu yootihim abwaabanw wa sururan 'alaihaa yattaki'oon

And for their houses - doors and couches [of silver] upon which to recline

وَزُخۡرُفًا​ ؕ وَاِنۡ كُلُّ ذٰ لِكَ لَمَّا مَتَاعُ الۡحَيٰوةِ الدُّنۡيَا​ ؕ وَالۡاٰخِرَةُ عِنۡدَ رَبِّكَ لِلۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ‏ ٣٥

Wa zukhrufaa; wa in kullu zaalika lammaa mataa'ul hayaatid dunyaa; wal aakhiratu 'inda Rabbika lilmuttaqeen

And gold ornament. But all that is not but the enjoyment of worldly life. And the Hereafter with your Lord is for the righteous.

وَمَنۡ يَّعۡشُ عَنۡ ذِكۡرِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ نُقَيِّضۡ لَهٗ شَيۡطٰنًا فَهُوَ لَهٗ قَرِيۡنٌ‏ ٣٦

Wa mai ya'shu 'an zikrir Rahmaani nuqaiyid lahoo Shaitaanan fahuwa lahoo qareen

And whoever is blinded from remembrance of the Most Merciful - We appoint for him a devil, and he is to him a companion.

وَاِنَّهُمۡ لَيَصُدُّوۡنَهُمۡ عَنِ السَّبِيۡلِ وَيَحۡسَبُوۡنَ اَنَّهُمۡ مُّهۡتَدُوۡنَ‏ ٣٧

Wa innahum la yasuddoo nahum 'anis sabeeli wa yahsaboona annahum muhtadoon

And indeed, they [i.e., the devils] avert them from the way [of guidance] while they think that they are [rightly] guided

حَتّٰٓى اِذَا جَآءَنَا قَالَ يٰلَيۡتَ بَيۡنِىۡ وَبَيۡنَكَ بُعۡدَ الۡمَشۡرِقَيۡنِ فَبِئۡسَ الۡقَرِيۡنُ‏ ٣٨

Hattaaa izaa jaaa'anaa qaala yaa laita bainee wa bainaka bu'dal mashriqaini fabi'sal qareen

Until, when he comes to Us [at Judgement], he says [to his companion], "How I wish there was between me and you the distance between the east and west; and what a wretched companion."

وَلَنۡ يَّنۡفَعَكُمُ الۡيَوۡمَ اِذْ ظَّلَمۡتُمۡ اَنَّكُمۡ فِى الۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُوۡنَ‏ ٣٩

Wa lai yanfa'akumul Yawma iz zalamtum annakum fil 'azaabi mushtarikoon

And never will it benefit you that Day, when you have wronged, that you are [all] sharing in the punishment.

اَفَاَنۡتَ تُسۡمِعُ الصُّمَّ اَوۡ تَهۡدِى الۡعُمۡىَ وَمَنۡ كَانَ فِىۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ‏ ٤٠

Afa anta tusmi'us summa aw tahdil 'umya wa man kaana fee dalaalim mubeen

Then will you make the deaf hear, [O Muḥammad], or guide the blind or he who is in clear error?

فَاِمَّا نَذۡهَبَنَّ بِكَ فَاِنَّا مِنۡهُمۡ مُّنۡتَقِمُوۡنَۙ‏ ٤١

Fa immaa nazhabanna bika fa innaa minhum muntaqimoon

And whether [or not] We take you away [in death], indeed, We will take retribution upon them.

اَوۡ نُرِيَنَّكَ الَّذِىۡ وَعَدۡنٰهُمۡ فَاِنَّا عَلَيۡهِمۡ مُّقۡتَدِرُوۡنَ‏ ٤٢

Aw nuriyannakal lazee wa'adnaahum fa innaa 'alaihim muqtadiroon

Or whether [or not] We show you that which We have promised them, indeed, We are Perfect in Ability.

فَاسۡتَمۡسِكۡ بِالَّذِىۡۤ اُوۡحِىَ اِلَيۡكَ​ ۚ اِنَّكَ عَلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسۡتَقِيۡمٍ‏ ٤٣

Fastamsik billazeee oohi ya ilaika innaka 'alaa Siraatim Mustaqeem

So adhere to that which is revealed to you. Indeed, you are on a straight path.

وَاِنَّهٗ لَذِكۡرٌ لَّكَ وَلِقَوۡمِكَ​ ۚ وَسَوۡفَ تُسۡـَٔـلُوۡنَ‏ ٤٤

Wa innahoo lazikrul laka wa liqawmika wa sawfa tus'aloon

And indeed, it is a remembrance for you and your people, and you [all] are going to be questioned.

وَسۡـــَٔلۡ مَنۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا مِنۡ قَبۡلِكَ مِنۡ رُّسُلِنَاۤ اَجَعَلۡنَا مِنۡ دُوۡنِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ اٰلِهَةً يُّعۡبَدُوۡنَ‏ ٤٥

Was'al man arsalnaa min qablika mir Rusulinaaa aja'alnaa min doonir Rahmaani aalihatany yu badoon

And ask those We sent before you of Our messengers; have We made besides the Most Merciful deities to be worshipped?

وَلَقَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا مُوۡسٰى بِاٰيٰتِنَاۤ اِلٰى فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَمَلَا۫ٮِٕه فَقَالَ اِنِّىۡ رَسُوۡلُ رَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ‏ ٤٦

Wa laqad arsalnaa Moosaa bi aayaatinaaa ilaa Fir'awna wa mala'ihee faqaala innee Rasoolu Rabbil 'aalameen

And certainly did We send Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, and he said, "Indeed, I am the messenger of the Lord of the worlds."

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمۡ بِاٰيٰتِنَاۤ اِذَا هُمۡ مِّنۡهَا يَضۡحَكُوۡنَ‏ ٤٧

Falammma jaaa'ahum bi aayaatinaaa izaa hum minhaa yadhakoon

But when he brought them Our signs, at once they laughed at them.

وَمَا نُرِيۡهِمۡ مِّنۡ اٰيَةٍ اِلَّا هِىَ اَكۡبَرُ مِنۡ اُخۡتِهَا​ وَ اَخَذۡنٰهُمۡ بِالۡعَذَابِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُوۡنَ‏ ٤٨

Wa maa nureehim min aayatin illaa hiya akbaru min ukhtihaa wa akhaznaahum bil'azaabi la'allahum yarji'oon

And We showed them not a sign except that it was greater than its sister, and We seized them with affliction that perhaps they might return [to faith].

وَقَالُوۡا يٰۤاَيُّهَ السَّاحِرُ ادۡعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِنۡدَكَ​ۚ اِنَّنَا لَمُهۡتَدُوۡنَ‏ ٤٩

Wa qaaloo yaaa ayyuhas saahirud'u lanaa Rabbaka bimaa 'ahida 'indaka innanaa lamuhtadoon

And they said [to Moses], "O magician, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. Indeed, we will be guided."

فَلَمَّا كَشَفۡنَا عَنۡهُمُ الۡعَذَابَ اِذَا هُمۡ يَنۡكُثُوۡنَ‏ ٥٠

Falammaa kashafnaa 'anhumul 'azaaba izaa hum yankusoon

But when We removed from them the affliction, at once they broke their word.

وَنَادٰى فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِىۡ قَوۡمِهٖ قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ اَلَيۡسَ لِىۡ مُلۡكُ مِصۡرَ وَهٰذِهِ الۡاَنۡهٰرُ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِىۡ​ۚ اَفَلَا تُبۡصِرُوۡنَؕ‏ ٥١

Wa naadaa Fir'awnu fee qawmihee qaala yaa qawmi alaisa lee mulku Misra wa haazihil anhaaru tajree min tahtee afalaa tubsiroon

And Pharaoh called out among his people; he said, "O my people, does not the kingdom of Egypt belong to me, and these rivers flowing beneath me; then do you not see?

اَمۡ اَنَا خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡ هٰذَا الَّذِىۡ هُوَ مَهِيۡنٌ ۙ وَّلَا يَكَادُ يُبِيۡنُ‏ ٥٢

Am ana khairum min haazal lazee huwa maheenunw wa laa yuakaadu yubeen

Or am I [not] better than this one [i.e., Moses] who is insignificant and hardly makes himself clear?

فَلَوۡلَاۤ اُلۡقِىَ عَلَيۡهِ اَسۡوِرَةٌ مِّنۡ ذَهَبٍ اَوۡ جَآءَ مَعَهُ الۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةُ مُقۡتَرِنِيۡنَ‏ ٥٣

Falaw laa ulqiya 'alaihi aswiratum min zahabin awjaaa'a ma'ahul malaaa'ikatu muqtarineen

Then why have there not been placed upon him bracelets of gold or come with him the angels in conjunction?"

فَاسۡتَخَفَّ قَوۡمَهٗ فَاَطَاعُوۡهُ​ؕ اِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوۡا قَوۡمًا فٰسِقِيۡنَ‏ ٥٤

Fastakhaffa qawmahoo fa ataa'ooh; innahum kaanoo qawman faasiqeen

So he bluffed his people, and they obeyed him. Indeed, they were [themselves] a people defiantly disobedient [of Allāh].

فَلَمَّاۤ اٰسَفُوۡنَا انْتَقَمۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡ فَاَغۡرَقۡنٰهُمۡ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَۙ‏ ٥٥

Falammaaa aasafoonan taqamnaa minhum fa aghraqnaahum ajma'een

And when they angered Us, We took retribution from them and drowned them all.

فَجَعَلۡنٰهُمۡ سَلَفًا وَّمَثَلًا لِّلۡاٰخِرِيۡنَ‏ ٥٦

Faja'alnaahum salafanw wa masalal lil aakhireen

And We made them a precedent and an example for the later peoples.

وَلَمَّا ضُرِبَ ابۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ مَثَلًا اِذَا قَوۡمُكَ مِنۡهُ يَصِدُّوۡنَ‏ ٥٧

Wa lammaa duribab nu Maryama masalan izaa qawmu ka minhu yasidoon

And when the son of Mary was presented as an example, immediately your people laughed aloud.

وَقَالُـوۡٓا ءَاٰلِهَتُنَا خَيۡرٌ اَمۡ هُوَ​ؕ مَا ضَرَبُوۡهُ لَكَ اِلَّا جَدَلًا ؕ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمٌ خَصِمُوۡنَ‏ ٥٨

Wa qaalooo 'a-aalihatunaa khairun am hoo; maa daraboohu laka illaa jadalaa; balhum qawmun khasimoon

And they said, "Are our gods better, or is he?" They did not present it [i.e., the comparison] except for [mere] argument. But, [in fact], they are a people prone to dispute.

اِنۡ هُوَ اِلَّا عَبۡدٌ اَنۡعَمۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَجَعَلۡنٰهُ مَثَلًا لِّبَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرَآءِيۡلَؕ‏ ٥٩

In huwa illaa 'abdun an'amnaa 'alaihi wa ja'alnaahu masalal li Baneee Israaa'eel

He [i.e., Jesus] was not but a servant upon whom We bestowed favor, and We made him an example for the Children of Israel.

وَلَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَجَـعَلۡنَا مِنۡكُمۡ مَّلٰٓٮِٕكَةً فِى الۡاَرۡضِ يَخۡلُفُوۡنَ‏ ٦٠

Wa law nashaaa'u laja'alnaa minkum malaaa'ikatan fil ardi yakhlufoon

And if We willed, We could have made [instead] of you angels succeeding [one another] on the earth.

وَاِنَّهٗ لَعِلۡمٌ لِّلسَّاعَةِ فَلَا تَمۡتَرُنَّ بِهَا وَاتَّبِعُوۡنِ​ؕ هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسۡتَقِيۡمٌ‏ ٦١
