تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

til'ka āyātu l-kitābi l-mubīni

These are the verses of the clear Book.

لَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعٌۭ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ

laʿallaka bākhiʿun nafsaka allā yakūnū mu'minīna

Perhaps, [O Muḥammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.

إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةًۭ فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَـٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَـٰضِعِينَ

in nasha nunazzil ʿalayhim mina l-samāi āyatan faẓallat aʿnāquhum lahā khāḍiʿīna

If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ

wamā yatīhim min dhik'rin mina l-raḥmāni muḥ'dathin illā kānū ʿanhu muʿ'riḍīna

And no mention [i.e., revelation] comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَـٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

faqad kadhabū fasayatīhim anbāu mā kānū bihi yastahziūna

For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۢ كَرِيمٍ

awalam yaraw ilā l-arḍi kam anbatnā fīhā min kulli zawjin karīmin

Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

inna fī dhālika laāyatan wamā kāna aktharuhum mu'minīna

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

wa-inna rabbaka lahuwa l-ʿazīzu l-raḥīmu

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

wa-idh nādā rabbuka mūsā ani i'ti l-qawma l-ẓālimīna

And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -

قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ

qawma fir'ʿawna alā yattaqūna

The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allāh?"

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ

qāla rabbi innī akhāfu an yukadhibūni

He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me

وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَـٰرُونَ

wayaḍīqu ṣadrī walā yanṭaliqu lisānī fa-arsil ilā hārūna

And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.

وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌۭ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ

walahum ʿalayya dhanbun fa-akhāfu an yaqtulūni

And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."

قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ

qāla kallā fa-idh'habā biāyātinā innā maʿakum mus'tamiʿūna

[Allāh] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.

فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

fatiyā fir'ʿawna faqūlā innā rasūlu rabbi l-ʿālamīna

Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,

أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

an arsil maʿanā banī is'rāīla

[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"

قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًۭا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ

qāla alam nurabbika fīnā walīdan walabith'ta fīnā min ʿumurika sinīna

[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?

وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

wafaʿalta faʿlataka allatī faʿalta wa-anta mina l-kāfirīna

And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."

قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًۭا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

qāla faʿaltuhā idhan wa-anā mina l-ḍālīna

[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray [i.e., ignorant].

فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًۭا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

fafarartu minkum lammā khif'tukum fawahaba lī rabbī ḥuk'man wajaʿalanī mina l-mur'salīna

So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me judgement [i.e., wisdom and prophet hood] and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.

وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌۭ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

watil'ka niʿ'matun tamunnuhā ʿalayya an ʿabbadtta banī is'rāīla

And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

qāla fir'ʿawnu wamā rabbu l-ʿālamīna

Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

qāla rabbu l-samāwāti wal-arḍi wamā baynahumā in kuntum mūqinīna

[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."

قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ

qāla liman ḥawlahu alā tastamiʿūna

[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"

قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

qāla rabbukum warabbu ābāikumu l-awalīna

[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌۭ

qāla inna rasūlakumu alladhī ur'sila ilaykum lamajnūnun

[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

qāla rabbu l-mashriqi wal-maghribi wamā baynahumā in kuntum taʿqilūna

[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَـٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ

qāla la-ini ittakhadhta ilāhan ghayrī la-ajʿalannaka mina l-masjūnīna

[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."

قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ

qāla awalaw ji'tuka bishayin mubīnin

[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you something [i.e., proof] manifest?"

قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

qāla fati bihi in kunta mina l-ṣādiqīna

[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."

فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ

fa-alqā ʿaṣāhu fa-idhā hiya thuʿ'bānun mubīnun

So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ

wanazaʿa yadahu fa-idhā hiya bayḍāu lilnnāẓirīna

And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.

قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌۭ

qāla lil'mala-i ḥawlahu inna hādhā lasāḥirun ʿalīmun

[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ

yurīdu an yukh'rijakum min arḍikum bisiḥ'rihi famādhā tamurūna

He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"

قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ

qālū arjih wa-akhāhu wa-ib'ʿath fī l-madāini ḥāshirīna

They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers

يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍۢ

yatūka bikulli saḥḥārin ʿalīmin

Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ

fajumiʿa l-saḥaratu limīqāti yawmin maʿlūmin

So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ

waqīla lilnnāsi hal antum muj'tamiʿūna

And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate.

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ

laʿallanā nattabiʿu l-saḥarata in kānū humu l-ghālibīna

That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ

falammā jāa l-saḥaratu qālū lifir'ʿawna a-inna lanā la-ajran in kunnā naḥnu l-ghālibīna

And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ

qāla naʿam wa-innakum idhan lamina l-muqarabīna

He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ

qāla lahum mūsā alqū mā antum mul'qūna

Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."

فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ

fa-alqaw ḥibālahum waʿiṣiyyahum waqālū biʿizzati fir'ʿawna innā lanaḥnu l-ghālibūna

So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."

فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ

fa-alqā mūsā ʿaṣāhu fa-idhā hiya talqafu mā yafikūna

Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.

فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَـٰجِدِينَ

fa-ul'qiya l-saḥaratu sājidīna

So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allāh].

قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

qālū āmannā birabbi l-ʿālamīna

They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ

rabbi mūsā wahārūna

The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَـٰفٍۢ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

qāla āmantum lahu qabla an ādhana lakum innahu lakabīrukumu alladhī ʿallamakumu l-siḥ'ra falasawfa taʿlamūna la-uqaṭṭiʿanna aydiyakum wa-arjulakum min khilāfin wala-uṣallibannakum ajmaʿīna

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him [i.e., Moses] before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."

قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

qālū lā ḍayra innā ilā rabbinā munqalibūna

They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.

إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَـٰيَـٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

innā naṭmaʿu an yaghfira lanā rabbunā khaṭāyānā an kunnā awwala l-mu'minīna

Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."

۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

wa-awḥaynā ilā mūsā an asri biʿibādī innakum muttabaʿūna

And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."

فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ

fa-arsala fir'ʿawnu fī l-madāini ḥāshirīna

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers

إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌۭ قَلِيلُونَ

inna hāulāi lashir'dhimatun qalīlūna

[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band,

وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ

wa-innahum lanā laghāiẓūna

And indeed, they are enraging us,

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَـٰذِرُونَ

wa-innā lajamīʿun ḥādhirūna

And indeed, we are a cautious society..."

فَأَخْرَجْنَـٰهُم مِّن جَنَّـٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ

fa-akhrajnāhum min jannātin waʿuyūnin

So We removed them from gardens and springs

وَكُنُوزٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ

wakunūzin wamaqāmin karīmin

And treasures and honorable station -

كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَـٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

kadhālika wa-awrathnāhā banī is'rāīla

Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.

فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ

fa-atbaʿūhum mush'riqīna

So they pursued them at sunrise.

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ

falammā tarāā l-jamʿāni qāla aṣḥābu mūsā innā lamud'rakūna

And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"

قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ

qāla kallā inna maʿiya rabbī sayahdīni

[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."

فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ ۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍۢ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

fa-awḥaynā ilā mūsā ani iḍ'rib biʿaṣāka l-baḥra fa-infalaqa fakāna kullu fir'qin kal-ṭawdi l-ʿaẓīmi

Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.

وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

wa-azlafnā thamma l-ākharīna

And We advanced thereto the others [i.e., the pursuers].

وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ

wa-anjaynā mūsā waman maʿahu ajmaʿīna

And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

thumma aghraqnā l-ākharīna

Then We drowned the others.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

inna fī dhālika laāyatan wamā kāna aktharuhum mu'minīna

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

wa-inna rabbaka lahuwa l-ʿazīzu l-raḥīmu

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ

wa-ut'lu ʿalayhim naba-a ib'rāhīma

And recite to them the news of Abraham,

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ

idh qāla li-abīhi waqawmihi mā taʿbudūna

When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?"

قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًۭا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَـٰكِفِينَ

qālū naʿbudu aṣnāman fanaẓallu lahā ʿākifīna

They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."

قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ

qāla hal yasmaʿūnakum idh tadʿūna

He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?

أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ

aw yanfaʿūnakum aw yaḍurrūna

Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"

قَالُوا۟ بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ

qālū bal wajadnā ābāanā kadhālika yafʿalūna

They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ

qāla afara-aytum mā kuntum taʿbudūna

He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,

أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ

antum waābāukumu l-aqdamūna

You and your ancient forefathers?

فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّۭ لِّىٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

fa-innahum ʿaduwwun lī illā rabba l-ʿālamīna

Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ

alladhī khalaqanī fahuwa yahdīni

Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me.

وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ

wa-alladhī huwa yuṭ'ʿimunī wayasqīni

And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.

وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ

wa-idhā mariḍ'tu fahuwa yashfīni

And when I am ill, it is He who cures me

وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ

wa-alladhī yumītunī thumma yuḥ'yīni

And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ

wa-alladhī aṭmaʿu an yaghfira lī khaṭīatī yawma l-dīni

And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense."

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى حُكْمًۭا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

rabbi hab lī ḥuk'man wa-alḥiq'nī bil-ṣāliḥīna

[And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous.

وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍۢ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

wa-ij'ʿal lī lisāna ṣid'qin fī l-ākhirīna

And grant me a mention [i.e., reputation] of honor among later generations.

وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

wa-ij'ʿalnī min warathati jannati l-naʿīmi

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure.

وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

wa-igh'fir li-abī innahu kāna mina l-ḍālīna

And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray.

وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ

walā tukh'zinī yawma yub'ʿathūna

And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected -

يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌۭ وَلَا بَنُونَ

yawma lā yanfaʿu mālun walā banūna

The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children

إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍۢ

illā man atā l-laha biqalbin salīmin

But only one who comes to Allāh with a sound heart."

وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

wa-uz'lifati l-janatu lil'muttaqīna

And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous.

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ

waburrizati l-jaḥīmu lil'ghāwīna

And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators,

وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ

waqīla lahum ayna mā kuntum taʿbudūna

And it will be said to them, "Where are those you used to worship

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ

min dūni l-lahi hal yanṣurūnakum aw yantaṣirūna

Other than Allāh? Can they help you or help themselves?"

فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَ

fakub'kibū fīhā hum wal-ghāwūna

So they will be overturned into it [i.e., Hellfire], they and the deviators

وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ

wajunūdu ib'līsa ajmaʿūna

And the soldiers of Iblees, all together.

قَالُوا۟ وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ

They will say while they dispute therein,

"By Allāh, we were indeed in manifest error

And no one misguided us except the criminals.

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَـٰفِعِينَ

So now we have no intercessors

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍۢ

They said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned."

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى كَذَّبُونِ

qāla rabbi inna qawmī kadhabūni

He said, "My Lord, indeed my people have denied me.

fa-anjaynāhu waman maʿahu fī l-ful'ki l-mashḥūni

So We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ

thumma aghraqnā baʿdu l-bāqīna

Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones.

faqara-ahu ʿalayhim mā kānū bihi mu'minīna

And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَـٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

kadhālika salaknāhu fī qulūbi l-muj'rimīna

Thus have We inserted it [i.e., disbelief] into the hearts of the criminals.

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ

lā yu'minūna bihi ḥattā yarawū l-ʿadhāba l-alīma

They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.

فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةًۭ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

fayatiyahum baghtatan wahum lā yashʿurūna

And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.

فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ

fayaqūlū hal naḥnu munẓarūna

And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

afabiʿadhābinā yastaʿjilūna

So for Our punishment are they impatient?

أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ سِنِينَ

afara-ayta in mattaʿnāhum sinīna

Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years

ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ

thumma jāahum mā kānū yūʿadūna

And then there came to them that which they were promised?

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ

mā aghnā ʿanhum mā kānū yumattaʿūna

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ

wamā ahlaknā min qaryatin illā lahā mundhirūna

And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners

ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ

dhik'rā wamā kunnā ẓālimīna

As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ

wamā tanazzalat bihi l-shayāṭīnu

And the devils have not brought it [i.e., the revelation] down.

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ

wamā yanbaghī lahum wamā yastaṭīʿūna

It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.

إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ

innahum ʿani l-samʿi lamaʿzūlūna

Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ

falā tadʿu maʿa l-lahi ilāhan ākhara fatakūna mina l-muʿadhabīna

So do not invoke with Allāh another deity and [thus] be among the punished.

وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ

wa-andhir ʿashīrataka l-aqrabīna

And warn, [O Muḥammad], your closest kindred.

وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

wa-ikh'fiḍ janāḥaka limani ittabaʿaka mina l-mu'minīna

And lower your wing [i.e., show kindness] to those who follow you of the believers.

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌۭ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

fa-in ʿaṣawka faqul innī barīon mimmā taʿmalūna

And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

watawakkal ʿalā l-ʿazīzi l-raḥīmi

And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ

alladhī yarāka ḥīna taqūmu

Who sees you when you arise

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ

wataqallubaka fī l-sājidīna

And your movement among those who prostrate.

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

innahu huwa l-samīʿu l-ʿalīmu

Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ

hal unabbi-ukum ʿalā man tanazzalu l-shayāṭīnu

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍۢ

tanazzalu ʿalā kulli affākin athīmin

They descend upon every sinful liar.

يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَـٰذِبُونَ

yul'qūna l-samʿa wa-aktharuhum kādhibūna

They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ

wal-shuʿarāu yattabiʿuhumu l-ghāwūna

And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them;

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍۢ يَهِيمُونَ

alam tara annahum fī kulli wādin yahīmūna

Do you not see that in every valley they roam

وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ

wa-annahum yaqūlūna mā lā yafʿalūna

And that they say what they do not do? -

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًۭا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍۢ يَنقَلِبُونَ

illā alladhīna āmanū waʿamilū l-ṣāliḥāti wadhakarū l-laha kathīran wa-intaṣarū min baʿdi mā ẓulimū wasayaʿlamu alladhīna ẓalamū ayya munqalabin yanqalibūna

Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allāh often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.
