Surah An Naml

Translation by:
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

1. طٰسۤ ۚ تِلْكَ اٰيٰتُ الْقُرْاٰنِ وَكِتَابٍ مُّبِيْنٍ ۙ

   Tā Sīn, tilka āyātul-qur'āni wa kitābim mubīn(in).

   Ṭâ-Sĩn. These are the verses of the Quran; the clear Book.

2. هُدًى وَّبُشْرٰى لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ۙ

   Hudaw wa busyrā lil-mu'minīn(a).

   ˹It is˺ a guide and good news for the believers:

3. الَّذِيْنَ يُقِيْمُوْنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَيُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوْقِنُوْنَ

   Allażīna yuqīmūnaṣ-ṣalāta wa yu'tūnaz-zakāta wa hum bil-ākhirati hum yūqinūn(a).

   ˹those˺ who establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and have sure faith in the Hereafter.

4. اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ زَيَّنَّا لَهُمْ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فَهُمْ يَعْمَهُوْنَ ۗ

   Innal-lażīna lā yu'minūna bil-ākhirati zayyannā lahum a‘mālahum fahum ya‘mahūn(a).

   As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have certainly made their ˹evil˺ deeds appealing to them, so they wander blindly.

5. اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ لَهُمْ سُوْۤءُ الْعَذَابِ وَهُمْ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ هُمُ الْاَخْسَرُوْنَ

   Ulā'ikal-lażīna lahum sū'ul-‘ażābi wa hum fil-ākhirati humul-akhsarūn(a).

   It is they who will suffer a dreadful torment, and in the Hereafter they will ˹truly˺ be the greatest losers.

6. وَاِنَّكَ لَتُلَقَّى الْقُرْاٰنَ مِنْ لَّدُنْ حَكِيْمٍ عَلِيْمٍ

   Wa innaka latulaqqal-qur'āna mil ladun ḥakīmin ‘alīm(in).

   And indeed, you ˹O Prophet˺ are receiving the Quran from the One ˹Who is˺ All-Wise, All-Knowing.

7. اِذْ قَالَ مُوْسٰى لِاَهْلِهٖٓ اِنِّيْٓ اٰنَسْتُ نَارًاۗ سَاٰتِيْكُمْ مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ اَوْ اٰتِيْكُمْ بِشِهَابٍ قَبَسٍ لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُوْنَ

   Iż qāla mūsā li'ahlihī innī ānastu nārā(n), sa'ātīkum minhā bikhabarin au ātīkum bisyihābin qabasil la‘allakum taṣṭalūn(a).

   ˹Remember˺ when Moses said to his family, “I have spotted a fire. I will either bring you some directions from there, or a burning torch so you may warm yourselves.”

8. فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَهَا نُوْدِيَ اَنْۢ بُوْرِكَ مَنْ فِى النَّارِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَاۗ وَسُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

   Falammā jā'ahā nūdiya am būrika man fin-nāri wa man ḥaulahā, wa subḥānallāhi rabbil-‘ālamīn(a).

   But when he came to it, he was called ˹by Allah˺, “Blessed is the one at the fire, and whoever is around it! Glory be to Allah, the Lord of all worlds.

9. يٰمُوْسٰٓى اِنَّهٗٓ اَنَا اللّٰهُ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ ۙ

   Yā mūsā innahū anallāhul-‘azīzul-ḥakīm(u).

   O Moses! It is truly I. I am Allah—the Almighty, All-Wise.

10. وَاَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۗفَلَمَّا رَاٰهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَاَنَّهَا جَاۤنٌّ وَّلّٰى مُدْبِرًا وَّلَمْ يُعَقِّبْۗ يٰمُوْسٰى لَا تَخَفْۗ اِنِّيْ لَا يَخَافُ لَدَيَّ الْمُرْسَلُوْنَ ۖ

    Wa alqi ‘aṣāk(a), falammā ra'āhā tahtazzu ka'annahā jānnuw wallā mudbiraw wa lam yu‘aqqib, yā mūsā lā takhaf, innī lā yakhāfu ladayyal-mursalūn(a).

    Now, throw down your staff!” But when he saw it slithering like a snake, he ran away without looking back. ˹Allah reassured him,˺ “O Moses! Do not be afraid! Messengers should have no fear in My presence.

11. اِلَّا مَنْ ظَلَمَ ثُمَّ بَدَّلَ حُسْنًاۢ بَعْدَ سُوْۤءٍ فَاِنِّيْ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ

    Illā man ẓalama ṡumma baddala ḥusnam ba‘da sū'in fa innī gafūrur raḥīm(un).

    ˹Fear is˺ only for those who do wrong. But if they later mend ˹their˺ evil ˹ways˺ with good, then I am certainly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

12. وَاَدْخِلْ يَدَكَ فِيْ جَيْبِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَاۤءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوْۤءٍۙ فِيْ تِسْعِ اٰيٰتٍ اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ وَقَوْمِهٖۚ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمًا فٰسِقِيْنَ

    Wa adkhil yadaka fī jaibika takhruj baiḍā'a min gairi sū'(in), fī tis‘i āyātin ilā fir‘auna wa qaumih(ī), innahum kānū qauman fāsiqīn(a).

    Now put your hand through ˹the opening of˺ your collar, it will come out ˹shining˺ white, unblemished. ˹These are two˺ of nine signs for Pharaoh and his people. They have truly been a rebellious people.”

13. فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَتْهُمْ اٰيٰتُنَا مُبْصِرَةً قَالُوْا هٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ۚ

    Falammā jā'athum āyātunā mubṣiratan qālū hāżā siḥrum mubīn(un).

    But when Our enlightening signs came to them, they said, “This is pure magic.”

14. وَجَحَدُوْا بِهَا وَاسْتَيْقَنَتْهَآ اَنْفُسُهُمْ ظُلْمًا وَّعُلُوًّاۗ فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِيْنَ ࣖ

    Wa jaḥadū bihā wastaiqanathā anfusuhum ẓulmaw wa ‘uluwwā(n), fanẓur kaifa kāna ‘āqibatul-mufsidīn(a).

    And, although their hearts were convinced the signs were true, they still denied them wrongfully and arrogantly. See then what was the end of the corruptors!

15. وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا دَاوٗدَ وَسُلَيْمٰنَ عِلْمًاۗ وَقَالَا الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ فَضَّلَنَا عَلٰى كَثِيْرٍ مِّنْ عِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

    Wa laqad ātainā dāwūda wa sulaimāna ‘ilmā(n), wa qālal-ḥamdu lillāhil-lażī faḍḍalanā ‘alā kaṡīrim min ‘ibādihil-mu'minīn(a).

    Indeed, We granted knowledge to David and Solomon. And they said ˹in acknowledgment˺, “All praise is for Allah Who has privileged us over many of His faithful servants.”

16. وَوَرِثَ سُلَيْمٰنُ دَاوٗدَ وَقَالَ يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عُلِّمْنَا مَنْطِقَ الطَّيْرِ وَاُوْتِيْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍۗ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَهُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْمُبِيْنُ

    Wa wariṡa sulaimānu dāwūda wa qāla yā ayyuhan-nāsu ‘ullimnā manṭiqaṭ-ṭairi wa ūtīnā min kulli syai'(in), inna hāżā lahuwal-faḍlul-mubīn(u).

    And David was succeeded by Solomon, who said, “O people! We have been taught the language of birds, and been given everything ˹we need˺. This is indeed a great privilege.”

17. وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَيْمٰنَ جُنُوْدُهٗ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْاِنْسِ وَالطَّيْرِ فَهُمْ يُوْزَعُوْنَ

    Wa ḥusyira lisulaimāna junūduhū minal-jinni wal-insi waṭ-ṭairi fahum yūza‘ūn(a).

    Solomon’s forces of jinn, humans, and birds were rallied for him, perfectly organized.

18. حَتّٰىٓ اِذَآ اَتَوْا عَلٰى وَادِ النَّمْلِۙ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌ يّٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّمْلُ ادْخُلُوْا مَسٰكِنَكُمْۚ لَا يَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ سُلَيْمٰنُ وَجُنُوْدُهٗۙ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ

    Ḥattā iżā atau ‘alā wādin-naml(i), qālat namlatuy yā ayyuhan-namludkhulū masākinakum, lā yaḥṭimannakum sulaimānu wa junūduhū wa hum lā yasy‘urūn(a).

    And when they came across a valley of ants, an ant warned, “O ants! Go quickly into your homes so Solomon and his armies do not crush you, unknowingly.”

19. فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكًا مِّنْ قَوْلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ اَوْزِعْنِيْٓ اَنْ اَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِيْٓ اَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلٰى وَالِدَيَّ وَاَنْ اَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضٰىهُ وَاَدْخِلْنِيْ بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِيْ عِبَادِكَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ

    Fatabassama ḍāḥikam min qaulihā wa qāla rabbi auzi‘nī an asykura ni‘matakal-latī an‘amta ‘alayya wa ‘alā wālidayya wa an a‘mala ṣāliḥan tarḍāhu wa adkhilnī biraḥmatika fī ‘ibādikaṣ-ṣāliḥīn(a).

    So Solomon smiled in amusement at her words, and prayed, “My Lord! Inspire me to ˹always˺ be thankful for Your favours which You have blessed me and my parents with, and to do good deeds that please you. Admit me, by Your mercy, into ˹the company of˺ Your righteous servants.”

20. وَتَفَقَّدَ الطَّيْرَ فَقَالَ مَا لِيَ لَآ اَرَى الْهُدْهُدَۖ اَمْ كَانَ مِنَ الْغَاۤىِٕبِيْنَ

    Wa tafaqqadaṭ-ṭaira fa qāla mā liya lā aral-hudhud(a), am kāna minal-gā'ibīn(a).

    ˹One day˺ he inspected the birds, and wondered, “Why is it that I cannot see the hoopoe? Or could he be absent?

21. لَاُعَذِّبَنَّهٗ عَذَابًا شَدِيْدًا اَوْ لَاَا۟ذْبَحَنَّهٗٓ اَوْ لَيَأْتِيَنِّيْ بِسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِيْنٍ

    La'u‘ażżibannahū ‘ażāban syadīdan au la'ażbaḥannahū au laya'tiyannī bisulṭānim mubīn(in).

    I will surely subject him to a severe punishment, or ˹even˺ slaughter him, unless he brings me a compelling excuse.”

22. فَمَكَثَ غَيْرَ بَعِيْدٍ فَقَالَ اَحَطْتُّ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهٖ وَجِئْتُكَ مِنْ سَبَاٍ ۢبِنَبَاٍ يَّقِيْنٍ

    Famakaṡa gaira ba‘īdin faqāla aḥaṭtu bimā lam tuḥiṭ bihī wa ji'tuka min saba'im binaba'iy yaqīn(in).

    It was not long before the bird came and said, “I have found out something you do not know. I have just come to you from Sheba with sure news.

23. اِنِّيْ وَجَدْتُّ امْرَاَةً تَمْلِكُهُمْ وَاُوْتِيَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَّلَهَا عَرْشٌ عَظِيْمٌ

    Innī wajattumra'atan tamlikuhum wa ūtiyat min kulli syai'iw wa lahā ‘arsyun ‘aẓīm(un).

    Indeed, I found a woman ruling over them, who has been given everything ˹she needs˺, and who has a magnificent throne.

24. وَجَدْتُّهَا وَقَوْمَهَا يَسْجُدُوْنَ لِلشَّمْسِ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيْلِ فَهُمْ لَا يَهْتَدُوْنَۙ

    Wajattuhā wa qaumahā yasjudūna lisy-syamsi min dūnillāhi wa zayyana lahumusy-syaiṭānu a‘mālahum fa ṣaddahum ‘anis-sabīli fahum lā yahtadūn(a).

    I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allah. For Satan has made their deeds appealing to them—hindering them from the ˹Right˺ Way and leaving them unguided—

25. اَلَّا يَسْجُدُوْا لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ يُخْرِجُ الْخَبْءَ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفُوْنَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُوْنَ

    Allā yasjudū lillāhil-lażī yukhrijul-khab'a fis-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa ya‘lamu mā tukhfūna wa mā tu‘linūn(a).

    so they do not prostrate to Allah, Who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you ˹all˺ conceal and what you reveal.

26. اَللّٰهُ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۙ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيْمِ ۩

    Allāhu lā ilāha illā huwa rabbul-‘arsyil-‘aẓīm(i).

    ˹He is˺ Allah! There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him, the Lord of the Mighty Throne.”

27. ۞ قَالَ سَنَنْظُرُ اَصَدَقْتَ اَمْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الْكٰذِبِيْنَ

    Qāla sananẓuru aṣadaqta am kunta minal-kāżibīn(a).

    Solomon said, “We will see whether you are telling the truth or lying.

28. اِذْهَبْ بِّكِتٰبِيْ هٰذَا فَاَلْقِهْ اِلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَانْظُرْ مَاذَا يَرْجِعُوْنَ

    Iżhab bikitābī hāżā fa alqih ilaihim ṡumma tawalla ‘anhum fanẓur māżā yarji‘ūn(a).

    Go with this letter of mine and deliver it to them, then stand aside and see how they will respond.”

29. قَالَتْ يٰٓاَيُّهَا الْمَلَؤُا اِنِّيْٓ اُلْقِيَ اِلَيَّ كِتٰبٌ كَرِيْمٌ

    Qālat yā ayyuhal-mala'u innī ulqiya ilayya kitābun karīm(un).

    The Queen ˹later˺ announced, “O chiefs! Indeed, a noble letter has been delivered to me.

30. اِنَّهٗ مِنْ سُلَيْمٰنَ وَاِنَّهٗ بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ ۙ

    Innahū min sulaimāna wa innahū bismillāhir-raḥmānir-raḥīm(i).

    It is from Solomon, and it reads: ‘In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

31. اَلَّا تَعْلُوْا عَلَيَّ وَأْتُوْنِيْ مُسْلِمِيْنَ ࣖ

    Allā ta‘lū ‘alayya wa'tūnī muslimīn(a).

    Do not be arrogant with me, but come to me, fully submitting ˹to Allah˺.’”

32. قَالَتْ يٰٓاَيُّهَا الْمَلَؤُا اَفْتُوْنِيْ فِيْٓ اَمْرِيْۚ مَا كُنْتُ قَاطِعَةً اَمْرًا حَتّٰى تَشْهَدُوْنِ

    Qālat yā ayyuhal-mala'u aftūnī fī amrī, mā kuntu qāṭi‘atan amran ḥattā tasyhadūn(i).

    She said, “O chiefs! Advise me in this matter of mine, for I would never make any decision without you.”

33. قَالُوْا نَحْنُ اُولُوْا قُوَّةٍ وَّاُولُوْا بَأْسٍ شَدِيْدٍ ەۙ وَّالْاَمْرُ اِلَيْكِ فَانْظُرِيْ مَاذَا تَأْمُرِيْنَ

    Qālū naḥnu ulū quwwatiw wa ulū ba'sin syadīd(in), wal-amru ilaiki fanẓurī māżā ta'murīn(a).

    They responded, “We are a people of strength and great ˹military˺ might, but the decision is yours, so decide what you will command.”

34. قَالَتْ اِنَّ الْمُلُوْكَ اِذَا دَخَلُوْا قَرْيَةً اَفْسَدُوْهَا وَجَعَلُوْٓا اَعِزَّةَ اَهْلِهَآ اَذِلَّةً ۚوَكَذٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُوْنَ

    Qālat innal-mulūka iżā dakhalū qaryatan afsadūhā wa ja‘alū a‘izzata ahlihā ażillah(tan), wa każālika yaf‘alūn(a).

    She reasoned, “Indeed, when kings invade a land, they ruin it and debase its nobles. They really do so!

35. وَاِنِّيْ مُرْسِلَةٌ اِلَيْهِمْ بِهَدِيَّةٍ فَنٰظِرَةٌ ۢبِمَ يَرْجِعُ الْمُرْسَلُوْنَ

    Wa innī mursilatun ilaihim bihadiyyatin fanāẓiratun bima yarji‘ul-mursalūn(a).

    But I will certainly send him a gift, and see what ˹response˺ my envoys will return with.”

36. فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ سُلَيْمٰنَ قَالَ اَتُمِدُّوْنَنِ بِمَالٍ فَمَآ اٰتٰىنِ َۧ اللّٰهُ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّآ اٰتٰىكُمْۚ بَلْ اَنْتُمْ بِهَدِيَّتِكُمْ تَفْرَحُوْنَ

    Falammā jā'a sulaimāna qāla atumiddūnani bimālin famā ātāniyallāhu khairum mimmā ātākum, bal antum bihadiyyatikum tafraḥūn(a).

    When the chief-envoy came to him, Solomon said, “Do you offer me wealth? What Allah has granted me is far greater than what He has granted you. No! It is you who rejoice in ˹receiving˺ gifts.

37. اِرْجِعْ اِلَيْهِمْ فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّهُمْ بِجُنُوْدٍ لَّا قِبَلَ لَهُمْ بِهَا وَلَنُخْرِجَنَّهُمْ مِّنْهَآ اَذِلَّةً وَّهُمْ صٰغِرُوْنَ

    Irji‘ ilaihim falana'tiyannahum bijunūdil lā qibala lahum bihā wa lanukhrijannahum minhā ażillataw wa hum ṣāgirūn(a).

    Go back to them, for we will certainly mobilize against them forces which they can never resist, and we will drive them out from there in disgrace, fully humbled.”

38. قَالَ يٰٓاَيُّهَا الْمَلَؤُا اَيُّكُمْ يَأْتِيْنِيْ بِعَرْشِهَا قَبْلَ اَنْ يَّأْتُوْنِيْ مُسْلِمِيْنَ

    Qāla yā ayyuhal-mala'u ayyukum ya'tīnī bi‘arsyihā qabla ay ya'tūnī muslimīn(a).

    Solomon asked, “O chiefs! Which of you can bring me her throne before they come to me in ˹full˺ submission?”

39. قَالَ عِفْرِيْتٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ اَنَا۠ اٰتِيْكَ بِهٖ قَبْلَ اَنْ تَقُوْمَ مِنْ مَّقَامِكَۚ وَاِنِّيْ عَلَيْهِ لَقَوِيٌّ اَمِيْنٌ

    Qāla ‘ifrītum minal-jinni ana atīka bihī qabla an taqūma mim maqāmik(a), wa innī ‘alaihi laqawiyyun amīn(un).

    One mighty jinn responded, “I can bring it to you before you rise from this council of yours. And I am quite strong and trustworthy for this ˹task˺.”

40. قَالَ الَّذِيْ عِنْدَهٗ عِلْمٌ مِّنَ الْكِتٰبِ اَنَا۠ اٰتِيْكَ بِهٖ قَبْلَ اَنْ يَّرْتَدَّ اِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَۗ فَلَمَّا رَاٰهُ مُسْتَقِرًّا عِنْدَهٗ قَالَ هٰذَا مِنْ فَضْلِ رَبِّيْۗ لِيَبْلُوَنِيْٓ ءَاَشْكُرُ اَمْ اَكْفُرُۗ وَمَنْ شَكَرَ فَاِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهٖۚ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَاِنَّ رَبِّيْ غَنِيٌّ كَرِيْمٌ

    Qālal-lażī ‘indahū ‘ilmum minal-kitābi ana ātīka bihī qabla ay yartadda ilaika ṭarfuk(a), falammā ra'āhu mustaqirran ‘indahū qāla hāżā min faḍli rabbī, liyabluwanī a'asykuru am akfur(u), wa man syakara fa'innamā yasykuru linafsih(ī), wa man kafara fa'inna rabbī ganiyyun karīm(un).

    But the one who had knowledge of the Scripture said, “I can bring it to you in the blink of an eye.” So when Solomon saw it placed before him, he exclaimed, “This is by the grace of my Lord to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful. And whoever is grateful, it is only for their own good. But whoever is ungrateful, surely my Lord is Self-Sufficient, Most Generous.”

41. قَالَ نَكِّرُوْا لَهَا عَرْشَهَا نَنْظُرْ اَتَهْتَدِيْٓ اَمْ تَكُوْنُ مِنَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يَهْتَدُوْنَ

    Qāla nakkirū lahā ‘arsyahā nanẓur atahtadī am takūnu minal-lażīna lā yahtadūn(a).

    ˹Then˺ Solomon said, “Disguise her throne for her so we may see whether she will recognize ˹it˺ or she will not be able to.”

42. فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَتْ قِيْلَ اَهٰكَذَا عَرْشُكِۗ قَالَتْ كَاَنَّهٗ هُوَۚ وَاُوْتِيْنَا الْعِلْمَ مِنْ قَبْلِهَا وَكُنَّا مُسْلِمِيْنَ

    Falammā jā'at qīla ahakażā ‘arsyuk(i), qālat ka'annahū huw(a), wa ūtīnal-‘ilma min qablihā wa kunnā muslimīn(a).

    So when she arrived, it was said ˹to her˺, “Is your throne like this?” She replied, “It looks to be the same. We have ˹already˺ received knowledge ˹of Solomon’s prophethood˺ before this ˹miracle˺, and have submitted ˹to Allah˺.”

43. وَصَدَّهَا مَا كَانَتْ تَّعْبُدُ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّهَا كَانَتْ مِنْ قَوْمٍ كٰفِرِيْنَ

    Wa ṣaddahā mā kānat ta‘budu min dūnillāh(i), innahā kānat min qaumin kāfirīn(a).

    But she had been hindered by what she used to worship instead of Allah, for she was indeed from a disbelieving people.

44. قِيْلَ لَهَا ادْخُلِى الصَّرْحَۚ فَلَمَّا رَاَتْهُ حَسِبَتْهُ لُجَّةً وَّكَشَفَتْ عَنْ سَاقَيْهَاۗ قَالَ اِنَّهٗ صَرْحٌ مُّمَرَّدٌ مِّنْ قَوَارِيْرَ ەۗ قَالَتْ رَبِّ اِنِّيْ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِيْ وَاَسْلَمْتُ مَعَ سُلَيْمٰنَ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ࣖ

    Qīla lahadkhuliṣ-ṣarḥ(a), falammā ra'athu ḥasibathu lujjataw wa kasyafat ‘an sāqaihā, qāla innahū ṣarḥum mumarradum min qawārīr(a), qālat rabbi innī ẓalamtu nafsī wa aslamtu ma‘a sulaimāna lillāhi rabbil-‘ālamīn(a).

    Then she was told, “Enter the palace.” But when she saw the hall, she thought it was a body of water, so she bared her legs. Solomon said. “It is just a palace paved with crystal.” ˹At last˺ she declared, “My Lord! I have certainly wronged my soul. Now I ˹fully˺ submit myself along with Solomon to Allah, the Lord of all worlds.”

45. وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَآ اِلٰى ثَمُوْدَ اَخَاهُمْ صٰلِحًا اَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ فَاِذَا هُمْ فَرِيْقٰنِ يَخْتَصِمُوْنَ

    Wa laqad arsalnā ilā ṡamūda akhāhum ṣāliḥan ani‘budullāha fa'iżā hum farīqāni yakhtaṣimūn(a).

    And We certainly sent to the people of Thamûd their brother Ṣâliḥ, proclaiming, “Worship Allah,” but they suddenly split into two opposing groups.

46. قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ لِمَ تَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ الْحَسَنَةِۚ لَوْلَا تَسْتَغْفِرُوْنَ اللّٰهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ

    Qāla yā qaumi lima tasta‘jilūna bis-sayyi'ati qablal-ḥasanah(ti), lau lā tastagfirūnallāha la‘allakum turḥamūn(a).

    He urged ˹the disbelieving group˺, “O my people! Why do you ˹seek to˺ hasten the evil rather than the good? If only you sought Allah’s forgiveness so you may be shown mercy!”

47. قَالُوا اطَّيَّرْنَا بِكَ وَبِمَنْ مَّعَكَۗ قَالَ طٰۤىِٕرُكُمْ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ بَلْ اَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ تُفْتَنُوْنَ

    Qāluṭ ṭayyarnā bika wa bimam ma‘ak(a), qāla ṭā'irukum ‘indallāhi bal antum qaumun tuftanūn(a).

    They replied, “You and your followers are a bad omen for us.” He responded, “Your omens are destined by Allah. In fact, you are ˹only˺ a people being tested.”

48. وَكَانَ فِى الْمَدِيْنَةِ تِسْعَةُ رَهْطٍ يُّفْسِدُوْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُوْنَ

    Wa kāna fil-madīnati tis‘atu rahṭiy yufsidūna fil-arḍi wa lā yuṣliḥūn(a).

    And there were in the city nine ˹elite˺ men who spread corruption in the land, never doing what is right.

49. قَالُوْا تَقَاسَمُوْا بِاللّٰهِ لَنُبَيِّتَنَّهٗ وَاَهْلَهٗ ثُمَّ لَنَقُوْلَنَّ لِوَلِيِّهٖ مَا شَهِدْنَا مَهْلِكَ اَهْلِهٖ وَاِنَّا لَصٰدِقُوْنَ

    Qālū taqāsamū billāhi lanubayyitannahū wa ahlahū ṡumma lanaqūlanna liwaliyyihī mā syahidnā mahlika ahlihī wa innā laṣādiqūn(a).

    They vowed, “Let us swear by Allah that we will take him and his family down by night. Then we will certainly say to his ˹closest˺ heirs, ‘We did not witness the murder of his family. We are definitely telling the truth.’”

50. وَمَكَرُوْا مَكْرًا وَّمَكَرْنَا مَكْرًا وَّهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ

    Wa makarū makraw wa makarnā makraw wa hum lā yasy‘urūn(a).

    And ˹so˺ they made a plan, but We too made a plan, while they were unaware.

51. فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ مَكْرِهِمْ اَنَّا دَمَّرْنٰهُمْ وَقَوْمَهُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَ

    Fanẓur kaifa kāna ‘āqibatu makrihim annā dammarnāhum wa qaumahum ajma‘īn(a).

    See then what the consequences of their plan were: We ˹utterly˺ destroyed them and their people all together.

52. فَتِلْكَ بُيُوْتُهُمْ خَاوِيَةً ۢبِمَا ظَلَمُوْاۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَّعْلَمُوْنَ

    Fatilka buyūtuhum khāwiyatam bimā ẓalamū, inna fī żālika la'āyatal liqaumiy ya‘lamūn(a).

    So their homes are there, ˹but completely˺ ruined because of their wrongdoing. Surely in this is a lesson for people of knowledge.

53. وَاَنْجَيْنَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَكَانُوْا يَتَّقُوْنَ

    Wa anjainal-lażīna āmanū wa kānū yattaqūn(a).

    And We delivered those who were faithful and were mindful ˹of Allah˺.

54. وَلُوْطًا اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهٖٓ اَتَأْتُوْنَ الْفَاحِشَةَ وَاَنْتُمْ تُبْصِرُوْنَ

    Wa lūṭan iż qāla liqaumihī ata'tūnal-fāḥisyata wa antum tubṣirūn(a).

    And ˹remember˺ Lot, when he rebuked ˹the men of˺ his people, “Do you commit that shameful deed while you can see ˹one another˺?

55. اَىِٕنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُوْنَ الرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّنْ دُوْنِ النِّسَاۤءِ ۗبَلْ اَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُوْنَ

    A'innakum lata'tūnar-rijāla syahwatam min dūnin-nisā'(i), bal antum qaumun tajhalūn(a).

    Do you really lust after men instead of women? In fact, you are ˹only˺ a people acting ignorantly.”

56. ۞ فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهٖٓ اِلَّآ اَنْ قَالُوْٓا اَخْرِجُوْٓا اٰلَ لُوْطٍ مِّنْ قَرْيَتِكُمْۙ اِنَّهُمْ اُنَاسٌ يَّتَطَهَّرُوْنَ

    Famā kāna jawāba qaumihī illā an qālū akhrijū āla lūṭim min qaryatikum, innahum unāsuy yataṭahharūn(a).

    But his people’s only response was to say, “Expel Lot’s followers from your land! They are a people who wish to remain chaste!”

57. فَاَنْجَيْنٰهُ وَاَهْلَهٗٓ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَهٗ قَدَّرْنٰهَا مِنَ الْغٰبِرِيْنَ

    Fa'anjaināhu wa ahlahū illamra'atahū qaddarnāhā minal-gābirīn(a).

    So We delivered him and his family, except his wife. We had destined her to be one of the doomed.

58. وَاَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ مَّطَرًاۚ فَسَاۤءَ مَطَرُ الْمُنْذَرِيْنَ ࣖ

    Wa amṭarnā ‘alaihim maṭarā(n), fasā'a maṭarul-munżarīn(a).

    And We poured upon them a rain ˹of brimstone˺. How evil was the rain of those who had been warned!

59. قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ وَسَلٰمٌ عَلٰى عِبَادِهِ الَّذِيْنَ اصْطَفٰىۗ ءٰۤاللّٰهُ خَيْرٌ اَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ ۔

    Qulil-ḥamdu lillāhi wa salāmun ‘alā ‘ibādihil-lażīnaṣṭafā, āllāhu khairun ammā yusyrikūn(a).

    Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Praise be to Allah, and peace be upon the servants He has chosen.” ˹Ask the disbelievers,˺ “Which is better: Allah or whatever ˹gods˺ they associate ˹with Him˺?”

60. اَمَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَاَنْزَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مَاۤءً فَاَنْۢبَتْنَا بِهٖ حَدَاۤىِٕقَ ذَاتَ بَهْجَةٍۚ مَا كَانَ لَكُمْ اَنْ تُنْۢبِتُوْا شَجَرَهَاۗ ءَاِلٰهٌ مَّعَ اللّٰهِ ۗبَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ يَّعْدِلُوْنَ ۗ

    Am man khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa wa anzala minas-samā'i mā'an fa ambatnā bihī ḥadā'iqa żāta bahjah(tin), mā kāna lakum an tumbitū syajarahā, a'ilāhum ma‘allāh(i), bal hum qaumuy ya‘dilūn(a).

    Or ˹ask them,˺ “Who created the heavens and the earth, and sends down rain for you from the sky, by which We cause delightful gardens to grow? You could never cause their trees to grow. Was it another god besides Allah? Absolutely not! ˹But˺ they are a people who set up equals ˹to Allah˺!”

61. اَمَّنْ جَعَلَ الْاَرْضَ قَرَارًا وَّجَعَلَ خِلٰلَهَآ اَنْهٰرًا وَّجَعَلَ لَهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ حَاجِزًاۗ ءَاِلٰهٌ مَّعَ اللّٰهِ ۗبَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ۗ

    Am man ja‘alal-arḍa qarāraw wa ja‘ala khilālahā anhāraw wa ja‘ala lahā rawāsiya wa ja‘ala bainal-baḥraini ḥājizā(n), a'ilāhum ma‘allāh(i), bal akṡaruhum lā ya‘lamūn(a).

    Or ˹ask them,˺ “Who made the earth a place of settlement, caused rivers to flow through it, placed firm mountains upon it, and set a barrier between ˹fresh and salt˺ bodies of water? Was it another god besides Allah? Absolutely not! ˹But˺ most of them do not know.”

62. اَمَّنْ يُّجِيْبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ اِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوْۤءَ وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفَاۤءَ الْاَرْضِۗ ءَاِلٰهٌ مَّعَ اللّٰهِ ۗقَلِيْلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُوْنَۗ

    Am may yujībul-muḍṭarra iżā da‘āhu wa yaksyifus-sū'a wa yaj‘alukum khulafā'a fil-arḍ(i), a'ilāhum ma‘allāh(i), qalīlam mā tażakkarūn(a).

    Or ˹ask them,˺ “Who responds to the distressed when they cry to Him, relieving ˹their˺ affliction, and ˹Who˺ makes you successors in the earth? Is it another god besides Allah? Yet you are hardly mindful!”

63. اَمَّنْ يَّهْدِيْكُمْ فِيْ ظُلُمٰتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَمَنْ يُّرْسِلُ الرِّيٰحَ بُشْرًاۢ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهٖۗ ءَاِلٰهٌ مَّعَ اللّٰهِ ۗتَعٰلَى اللّٰهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ

    Am may yahdīkum fī ẓulumātil-barri wal-baḥri wa may yursilur-riyāḥa busyram baina yadai raḥmatih(ī), a'ilāhum ma‘allāh(i), ta‘ālallāhu ‘ammā yusyrikūn(a).

    Or ˹ask them,˺ “Who guides you in the darkness of the land and sea, and sends the winds ushering in His mercy? Is it another god besides Allah? Exalted is Allah above what they associate ˹with Him˺!

64. اَمَّنْ يَّبْدَؤُا الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيْدُهٗ وَمَنْ يَّرْزُقُكُمْ مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ ءَاِلٰهٌ مَّعَ اللّٰهِ ۗقُلْ هَاتُوْا بُرْهَانَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ

    Am may yabda'ul-khalqa ṡumma yu‘īduhū wa may yarzuqukum minas-samā'i wal-arḍ(i), a'ilāhum ma‘allāh(i), qul hātū burhānakum in kuntum ṣādiqīn(a).

    Or ˹ask them,˺ “Who originates the creation then resurrects it, and gives you provisions from the heavens and the earth? Is it another god besides Allah?” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Show ˹me˺ your proof, if what you say is true.”

65. قُلْ لَّا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ الْغَيْبَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ ۗوَمَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ اَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُوْنَ

    Qul lā ya‘lamu man fis-samāwāti wal-arḍil gaiba illallāh(u), wa mā yasy‘urūna ayyāna yub‘aṡūn(a).

    Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “None in the heavens and the earth has knowledge of the unseen except Allah. Nor do they know when they will be resurrected.

66. بَلِ ادّٰرَكَ عِلْمُهُمْ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِۗ بَلْ هُمْ فِيْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهَاۗ بَلْ هُمْ مِّنْهَا عَمُوْنَ ࣖ

    Balid dāraka ‘ilmuhum fil-ākhirah(ti), bal hum fī syakkim minhā, bal hum minhā ‘amūn(a).

    No! Their knowledge of the Hereafter amounts to ignorance. In fact, they are in doubt about it. In truth, they are ˹totally˺ blind to it.

67. وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا ءَاِذَا كُنَّا تُرٰبًا وَّاٰبَاۤؤُنَآ اَىِٕنَّا لَمُخْرَجُوْنَ

    Wa qālal-lażīna kafarū a'iżā kunnā turābaw wa ābā'unā a'innā lamukhrajūn(a).

    The disbelievers ask, “When we and our fathers are reduced to dust, will we really be brought forth ˹alive˺?

68. لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا هٰذَا نَحْنُ وَاٰبَاۤؤُنَا مِنْ قَبْلُۙ اِنْ هٰذَآ اِلَّآ اَسَاطِيْرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ

    Laqad wu‘idnā hāżā naḥnu wa ābā'unā min qabl(u), in hāżā illā asāṭīrul-awwalīn(a).

    We have already been promised this, as well as our forefathers earlier. This is nothing but ancient fables!”

69. قُلْ سِيْرُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوْا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ

    Qul sīrū fil-arḍi fanẓurū kaifa kāna ‘āqibatul-mujrimīn(a).

    Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Travel throughout the land and see the fate of the wicked.”

70. وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُنْ فِيْ ضَيْقٍ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُوْنَ

    Wa lā taḥzan ‘alaihim wa lā takun fī ḍaiqim mimmā yamkurūn(a).

    Do not grieve for them, nor be distressed by their schemes.

71. وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ

    Wa yaqūlūna matā hāżal-wa‘du in kuntum ṣādiqīn(a).

    They ask ˹the believers˺, “When will this threat come to pass, if what you say is true?”

72. قُلْ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ رَدِفَ لَكُمْ بَعْضُ الَّذِيْ تَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَ

    Qul ‘asā ay yakūna radifa lakum ba‘ḍul-lażī tasta‘jilūn(a).

    Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Perhaps some of what you seek to hasten is close at hand.”

73. وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُوْ فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَشْكُرُوْنَ

    Wa inna rabbaka lażū faḍlin ‘alan-nāsi wa lākinna akṡarahum lā yasykurūn(a).

    Surely your Lord is ever Bountiful to humanity, but most of them are ungrateful.

74. وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُكِنُّ صُدُوْرُهُمْ وَمَا يُعْلِنُوْنَ

    Wa inna rabbaka laya‘lamu mā tukinnu ṣudūruhum wa mā yu‘linūn(a).

    And surely your Lord knows what their hearts conceal and what they reveal.

75. وَمَا مِنْ غَاۤىِٕبَةٍ فِى السَّمَاۤءِ وَالْاَرْضِ اِلَّا فِيْ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِيْنٍ

    Wa mā min gā'ibatin fis-samā'i wal-arḍi illā fī kitābim mubīn(in).

    For there is nothing hidden in the heavens or the earth without being ˹written˺ in a perfect Record.

76. اِنَّ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ يَقُصُّ عَلٰى بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ اَكْثَرَ الَّذِيْ هُمْ فِيْهِ يَخْتَلِفُوْنَ

    Inna hāżal-qur'āna yaquṣṣu ‘alā banī isrā'īla akṡaral-lażī hum fīhi yakhtalifūn(a).

    Indeed, this Quran clarifies for the Children of Israel most of what they differ over.

77. وَاِنَّهٗ لَهُدًى وَّرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

    Wa innahū lahudaw wa raḥmatul lil-mu'minīn(a).

    And it is truly a guide and mercy for the believers.

78. اِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِيْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِحُكْمِهٖۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْعَلِيْمُۚ

    Inna rabbaka yaqḍī bainahum biḥukmih(ī), wa huwal-‘azīzul-‘alīm(u).

    Your Lord will certainly judge between them by His justice, for He is the Almighty, All-Knowing.

79. فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّكَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ الْمُبِيْنِ

    Fatawakkal ‘alallāh(i), innaka ‘alal-ḥaqqil mubīn(i).

    So put your trust in Allah, for you are surely upon the ˹Path of˺ clear truth.

80. اِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتٰى وَلَا تُسْمِعُ الصُّمَّ الدُّعَاۤءَ اِذَا وَلَّوْا مُدْبِرِيْنَ

    Innaka lā tusmi‘ul-mautā wa lā tusmi‘uṣ-ṣummad-du‘ā'a iżā wallau mudbirīn(a).

    You certainly cannot make the dead hear ˹the truth˺. Nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs and walk away.

81. وَمَآ اَنْتَ بِهٰدِى الْعُمْيِ عَنْ ضَلٰلَتِهِمْۗ اِنْ تُسْمِعُ اِلَّا مَنْ يُّؤْمِنُ بِاٰيٰتِنَا فَهُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ

    Wa mā anta bihādil-‘umyi ‘an ḍalālatihim, in tusmi‘u illā may yu'minu bi'āyātinā fahum muslimūn(a).

    Nor can you lead the blind out of their misguidance. You can make none hear ˹the truth˺ except those who believe in Our revelations, ˹fully˺ submitting ˹to Allah˺.

82. ۞ وَاِذَا وَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ اَخْرَجْنَا لَهُمْ دَاۤبَّةً مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ تُكَلِّمُهُمْ اَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا لَا يُوْقِنُوْنَ ࣖ

    Wa iżā waqa‘al-qaulu ‘alaihim akhrajnā lahum dābbatam minal-arḍi tukallimuhum annan-nāsa kānū bi'āyātinā lā yūqinūn(a).

    And when the decree ˹of the Hour˺ comes to pass against them, We will bring forth for them a beast from the earth, telling them that the people had no sure faith in Our revelations.

83. وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ مِنْ كُلِّ اُمَّةٍ فَوْجًا مِّمَّنْ يُّكَذِّبُ بِاٰيٰتِنَا فَهُمْ يُوْزَعُوْنَ

    Wa yauma naḥsyuru min kulli ummatin faujam mimmay yukażżibu bi'āyātinā fahum yūza‘ūn(a).

    ˹Watch for˺ the Day We will gather from every faith-community a group of those who denied Our revelations, and they will be driven in ranks.

84. حَتّٰٓى اِذَا جَاۤءُوْ قَالَ اَكَذَّبْتُمْ بِاٰيٰتِيْ وَلَمْ تُحِيْطُوْا بِهَا عِلْمًا اَمَّاذَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ

    Ḥattā iżā jā'ū qāla akażżabtum bi'āyātī wa lam tuḥīṭū bihā ‘ilman ammāżā kuntum ta‘malūn(a).

    When they ˹finally˺ come before their Lord, He will ask ˹them˺, “Did you deny My revelations without ˹even˺ comprehending them? Or what ˹exactly˺ did you do?”

85. وَوَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِمَا ظَلَمُوْا فَهُمْ لَا يَنْطِقُوْنَ

    Wa waqa‘al-qaulu ‘alaihim bimā ẓalamū fahum lā yanṭiqūn(a).

    And the decree ˹of torment˺ will be justified against them for their wrongdoing, leaving them speechless.

86. اَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّا جَعَلْنَا الَّيْلَ لِيَسْكُنُوْا فِيْهِ وَالنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًاۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ

    Alam yarau annā ja‘alnal-laila liyaskunū fīhi wan-nahāra mubṣirā(n), inna fī żālika la'āyātil liqaumiy yu'minūn(a).

    Do they not see that We made the night for them to rest in and the day bright? Surely in this are signs for those who believe.

87. وَيَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِى الصُّوْرِ فَفَزِعَ مَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَنْ فِى الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا مَنْ شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ ۗوَكُلٌّ اَتَوْهُ دٰخِرِيْنَ

    Wa yauma yunfakhu fiṣ-ṣūri fa fazi‘a man fis-samāwāti wa man fil-arḍi illā man syā'allāh(u), wa kullun atauhu dākhirīn(a).

    And ˹beware of˺ the Day the Trumpet will be blown, and all those in the heavens and all those on the earth will be horrified ˹to the point of death˺, except those Allah wills ˹to spare˺. And all will come before Him, fully humbled.

88. وَتَرَى الْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةً وَّهِيَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ السَّحَابِۗ صُنْعَ اللّٰهِ الَّذِيْٓ اَتْقَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍۗ اِنَّهٗ خَبِيْرٌۢ بِمَا تَفْعَلُوْنَ

    Wa taral-jibāla taḥsabuhā jāmidataw wa hiya tamurru marras saḥāb(i), ṣun‘allāhil-lażī atqana kulla syai'(in), innahū khabīrum bimā taf‘alūn(a).

    Now you see the mountains, thinking they are firmly fixed, but they are travelling ˹just˺ like clouds. ˹That is˺ the design of Allah, Who has perfected everything. Surely He is All-Aware of what you do.

89. مَنْ جَاۤءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهٗ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهَاۚ وَهُمْ مِّنْ فَزَعٍ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ اٰمِنُوْنَ

    Man jā'a bil-ḥasanati falahū khairum minhā, wa hum min faza‘iy yauma'iżin āminūn(a).

    Whoever comes with a good deed will be rewarded with what is better, and they will be secure from the horror on that Day.

90. وَمَنْ جَاۤءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَكُبَّتْ وُجُوْهُهُمْ فِى النَّارِۗ هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ اِلَّا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ

    Wa man jā'a bis-sayyi'ati fakubbat wujūhuhum fin-nār(i), hal tujzauna illā mā kuntum ta‘malūn(a).

    And whoever comes with an evil deed will be hurled face-first into the Fire. Are you rewarded except for what you used to do?

91. اِنَّمَآ اُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَعْبُدَ رَبَّ هٰذِهِ الْبَلْدَةِ الَّذِيْ حَرَّمَهَا وَلَهٗ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ وَّاُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَ ۙ

    Innamā umirtu an a‘buda rabba hāżihil-baldatil-lażī ḥarramahā wa lahū kullu syai'iw wa umirtu an akūna minal-muslimīn(a).

    Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “I have only been commanded to worship the Lord of this city ˹of Mecca˺, Who has made it sacred, and to Him belongs everything. And I am commanded to be one of those who ˹fully˺ submit ˹to Him˺,

92. وَاَنْ اَتْلُوَا الْقُرْاٰنَ ۚفَمَنِ اهْتَدٰى فَاِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِيْ لِنَفْسِهٖۚ وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَقُلْ اِنَّمَآ اَنَا۠ مِنَ الْمُنْذِرِيْنَ
