Surah Ghafir

Translation by:
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

1. حٰمۤ ۚ

   Ḥā mīm.

   Ḥâ-Mĩm.

2. تَنْزِيْلُ الْكِتٰبِ مِنَ اللّٰهِ الْعَزِيْزِ الْعَلِيْمِۙ

   Tanzīlul-kitābi minallāhil-‘azīzil-‘alīm(i).

   The revelation of this Book is from Allah—the Almighty, All-Knowing,

3. غَافِرِ الذَّنْۢبِ وَقَابِلِ التَّوْبِ شَدِيْدِ الْعِقَابِ ذِى الطَّوْلِۗ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ۗاِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيْرُ

   Gāfiriż-żambi wa qābilit-taubi syadīdil-‘iqābi żiṭ-ṭaul(i), lā ilāha illā huw(a), ilaihil-maṣīr(u).

   the Forgiver of sin and Accepter of repentance, the Severe in punishment, and Infinite in bounty. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. To Him ˹alone˺ is the final return.

4. مَا يُجَادِلُ فِيْٓ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَلَا يَغْرُرْكَ تَقَلُّبُهُمْ فِى الْبِلَادِ

   Mā yujādilu fī āyātillāhi illal-lażīna kafarū falā yagrurka taqallubuhum fil-bilād(i).

   None disputes the signs of Allah except the disbelievers, so do not be deceived by their prosperity throughout the land.

5. كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوْحٍ وَّالْاَحْزَابُ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ ۖوَهَمَّتْ كُلُّ اُمَّةٍۢ بِرَسُوْلِهِمْ لِيَأْخُذُوْهُ وَجَادَلُوْا بِالْبَاطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوْا بِهِ الْحَقَّ فَاَخَذْتُهُمْ ۗفَكَيْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ

   Każżabat qablahum qaumu nūḥiw wal-aḥzābu mim ba‘dihim, wa hammat kullu ummatim birasūlihim liya'khużūhu wa jādalū bil-bāṭili liyudḥiḍū bihil-ḥaqqa fa'akhażtuhum, fa kaifa kāna ‘iqāb(i).

   Before them, the people of Noah denied ˹the truth˺, as did ˹other˺ enemy forces afterwards. Every community plotted against its prophet to seize him, and argued in falsehood, ˹hoping˺ to discredit the truth with it. So I seized them. And how ˹horrible˺ was My punishment!

6. وَكَذٰلِكَ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اَنَّهُمْ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِۘ

   Wa każālika ḥaqqat kalimatu rabbika ‘alal-lażīna kafarū annahum aṣḥābun-nār(i).

   And so your Lord’s decree has been proven true against the disbelievers—that they will be the inmates of the Fire.

7. اَلَّذِيْنَ يَحْمِلُوْنَ الْعَرْشَ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهٗ يُسَبِّحُوْنَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوْنَ لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْاۚ رَبَّنَا وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ رَّحْمَةً وَّعِلْمًا فَاغْفِرْ لِلَّذِيْنَ تَابُوْا وَاتَّبَعُوْا سَبِيْلَكَ وَقِهِمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِيْمِ

   Allażīna yaḥmilūnal-‘arsya wa man ḥaulahū yusabbiḥūna biḥamdi rabbihim wa yu'minūna bihī wa yastagfirūna lil-lażīna āmanū, rabbanā wasi‘ta kulla syai'ir raḥmataw wa ‘ilman fagfir lil-lażīna tābū wattaba‘ū sabīlaka wa qihim ‘ażābal-jaḥīm(i).

   Those ˹angels˺ who carry the Throne and those around it glorify the praises of their Lord, have faith in Him, and seek forgiveness for the believers, ˹praying:˺ “Our Lord! You encompass everything in ˹Your˺ mercy and knowledge. So forgive those who repent and follow Your Way, and protect them from the torment of the Hellfire.

8. رَبَّنَا وَاَدْخِلْهُمْ جَنّٰتِ عَدْنِ ِۨالَّتِيْ وَعَدْتَّهُمْ وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ اٰبَاۤىِٕهِمْ وَاَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَذُرِّيّٰتِهِمْ ۗاِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُۙ

   Rabbanā wa adkhilhum jannāti ‘adninil-latī wa‘attahum wa man ṣalaḥa min ābā'ihim wa azwājihim wa żurriyyātihim, innaka antal ‘azīzul-ḥakīm(u).

   Our Lord! Admit them into the Gardens of Eternity which You have promised them, along with the righteous among their parents, spouses, and descendants. You ˹alone˺ are truly the Almighty, All-Wise.

9. وَقِهِمُ السَّيِّاٰتِۗ وَمَنْ تَقِ السَّيِّاٰتِ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمْتَهٗ ۗوَذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيْمُ ࣖ

   Wa qihimus-sayyi'āt(i), wa man taqis-sayyi'āti yauma'iżin faqad raḥimtah(ū), wa żālika huwal-fauzul-‘aẓīm(u).

   And protect them from ˹the consequences of their˺ evil deeds. For whoever You protect from the evil of their deeds on that Day will have been shown Your mercy. That is ˹truly˺ the ultimate triumph.”

10. اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا يُنَادَوْنَ لَمَقْتُ اللّٰهِ اَكْبَرُ مِنْ مَّقْتِكُمْ اَنْفُسَكُمْ اِذْ تُدْعَوْنَ اِلَى الْاِيْمَانِ فَتَكْفُرُوْنَ

    Innal-lażīna kafarū yunādauna lamaqtullāhi akbaru mim maqtikum anfusakum iż tad‘ūna ilal-īmāni fatakfurūn(a).

    Indeed, it will be announced to the disbelievers, “Allah’s contempt for you—as you disbelieved when invited to belief—was far worse than your contempt for one another ˹Today˺.”

11. قَالُوْا رَبَّنَآ اَمَتَّنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ وَاَحْيَيْتَنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ فَاعْتَرَفْنَا بِذُنُوْبِنَا فَهَلْ اِلٰى خُرُوْجٍ مِّنْ سَبِيْلٍ

    Qālū rabbanā amattanaṡnataini wa aḥyaitanaṡnataini fa‘tarafnā biżunūbinā fa hal ilā khurūjim min sabīl(in).

    They will plead, “Our Lord! You made us lifeless twice, and gave us life twice. Now we confess our sins. So is there any way out?”

12. ذٰلِكُمْ بِاَنَّهٗٓ اِذَا دُعِيَ اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهٗ كَفَرْتُمْۚ وَاِنْ يُّشْرَكْ بِهٖ تُؤْمِنُوْا ۗفَالْحُكْمُ لِلّٰهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْكَبِيْرِ

    Żālikum bi'annahū iżā du‘iyallāhu waḥdahū kafartum, wa iy yusyrak bihī tu'minū, fal-ḥukmu lillāhil-‘aliyyil-kabīr(i).

    ˹They will be told,˺ “˹No!˺ This is because when Allah alone was invoked, you ˹staunchly˺ disbelieved. But when others were associated with Him ˹in worship˺, you ˹readily˺ believed. So ˹Today˺ judgment belongs to Allah ˹alone˺—the Most High, All-Great.”

13. هُوَ الَّذِيْ يُرِيْكُمْ اٰيٰتِهٖ وَيُنَزِّلُ لَكُمْ مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ رِزْقًا ۗوَمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ اِلَّا مَنْ يُّنِيْبُ

    Huwal-lażī yurīkum āyātihī wa yunazzilu lakum minas-samā'i rizqā(n), wa mā yatażakkaru illā may yunīb(u).

    He is the One Who shows you His signs and sends down ˹rain as˺ a provision for you from the sky. ˹But˺ none will be mindful except those who turn ˹to Him˺.

14. فَادْعُوا اللّٰهَ مُخْلِصِيْنَ لَهُ الدِّيْنَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ

    Fad‘ullāha mukhliṣīna lahud-dīna wa lau karihal-kāfirūn(a).

    So call upon Allah with sincere devotion, even to the dismay of the disbelievers.

15. رَفِيْعُ الدَّرَجٰتِ ذُو الْعَرْشِۚ يُلْقِى الرُّوْحَ مِنْ اَمْرِهٖ عَلٰى مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖ لِيُنْذِرَ يَوْمَ التَّلَاقِۙ

    Rafī‘ud-darajāti żul-‘arsy(i), yulqir-rūḥa min amrihī ‘alā may yasyā'u min ‘ibādihī liyunżira yaumat-talāq(i).

    ˹He is˺ Highly Exalted in rank, Lord of the Throne. He sends down the revelation by His command to whoever He wills of His servants to warn ˹all˺ of the Day of Meeting—

16. يَوْمَ هُمْ بٰرِزُوْنَ ۚ لَا يَخْفٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ مِنْهُمْ شَيْءٌ ۗلِمَنِ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ ۗ لِلّٰهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ

    Yauma hum bārizūn(a), lā yakhfā ‘alallāhi minhum syai'(un), limanil-mulkul-yaum(a), lillāhil-wāḥidil-qahhār(i).

    the Day all will appear ˹before Allah˺. Nothing about them will be hidden from Him. ˹He will ask,˺ “Who does all authority belong to this Day? To Allah—the One, the Supreme!

17. اَلْيَوْمَ تُجْزٰى كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ ۗ لَا ظُلْمَ الْيَوْمَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَرِيْعُ الْحِسَابِ

    Al-yauma tujzā kullu nafsim bimā kasabat, lā ẓulmal-yaum(a), innallāha sarī‘ul-ḥisāb(i).

    Today every soul will be rewarded for what it has done. No injustice Today! Surely Allah is swift in reckoning.”

18. وَاَنْذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْاٰزِفَةِ اِذِ الْقُلُوْبُ لَدَى الْحَنَاجِرِ كٰظِمِيْنَ ەۗ مَا لِلظّٰلِمِيْنَ مِنْ حَمِيْمٍ وَّلَا شَفِيْعٍ يُّطَاعُۗ

    Wa anżirhum yaumal-āzifati iżil-qulūbu ladal-ḥanājiri kāẓimīn(a), mā liẓ-ẓālimīna min ḥamīmiw wa lā syafī‘iy yuṭā‘(u).

    Warn them ˹O Prophet˺ of the approaching Day when the hearts will jump into the throats, suppressing distress. The wrongdoers will have neither a close friend nor intercessor to be heard.

19. يَعْلَمُ خَاۤىِٕنَةَ الْاَعْيُنِ وَمَا تُخْفِى الصُّدُوْرُ

    Ya‘lamu khā'inatal-a‘yuni wa mā tukhfiṣ-ṣudūr(u).

    Allah ˹even˺ knows the sly glances of the eyes and whatever the hearts conceal.

20. وَاللّٰهُ يَقْضِيْ بِالْحَقِّ ۗوَالَّذِيْنَ يَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ لَا يَقْضُوْنَ بِشَيْءٍ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْبَصِيْرُ ࣖ

    Wallāhu yaqḍī bil-ḥaqq(i), wal-lażīna yad‘ūna min dūnihī lā yaqḍūna bisyai'(in), innallāha huwas-samī‘ul-baṣīr(u).

    And Allah judges with the truth, while those ˹idols˺ they invoke besides Him cannot judge at all. Indeed, Allah ˹alone˺ is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

21. ۞ اَوَلَمْ يَسِيْرُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ فَيَنْظُرُوْا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِيْنَ كَانُوْا مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ۗ كَانُوْا هُمْ اَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَّاٰثَارًا فِى الْاَرْضِ فَاَخَذَهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِذُنُوْبِهِمْ ۗوَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّاقٍ

    Awalam yasīrū fil-arḍi fayanẓurū kaifa kāna ‘āqibatul-lażīna kānū min qablihim, kānū hum asyaddu minhum quwwataw wa āṡāran fil-arḍi fa'akhażahumullāhu biżunūbihim, wa mā kāna lahum minallāhi miw wāq(in).

    Have they not travelled throughout the land to see what was the end of those ˹destroyed˺ before them? They were far superior in might and ˹richer in˺ monuments throughout the land. But Allah seized them for their sins, and they had no protector from Allah.

22. ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَانَتْ تَّأْتِيْهِمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ فَكَفَرُوْا فَاَخَذَهُمُ اللّٰهُ ۗاِنَّهٗ قَوِيٌّ شَدِيْدُ الْعِقَابِ

    Żālika bi'annahum kānat ta'tīhim rusuluhum bil-bayyināti fakafarū fa'akhażahumullāh(u), innahū qawiyyun syadīdul-‘iqāb(i).

    That was because their messengers used to come to them with clear proofs, but they disbelieved. So Allah seized them. Surely He is All-Powerful, severe in punishment.

23. وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مُوْسٰى بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِيْنٍۙ

    Wa laqad arsalnā mūsā bi'āyātinā wa sulṭānim mubīn(in).

    Indeed, We sent Moses with Our signs and compelling proof

24. اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامٰنَ وَقَارُوْنَ فَقَالُوْا سٰحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ

    Ilā fir‘auna wa hāmāna wa qārūna faqālū sāḥirun każżāb(un).

    to Pharaoh, Hamân, and Korah. But they responded: “Magician! Total liar!”

25. فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا قَالُوا اقْتُلُوْٓا اَبْنَاۤءَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ وَاسْتَحْيُوْا نِسَاۤءَهُمْ ۗوَمَا كَيْدُ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ اِلَّا فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ

    Falammā jā'ahum bil-ḥaqqi min ‘indinā qāluqtulū abnā'al-lażīna āmanū ma‘ahū wastaḥyū nisā'ahum, wa mā kaidul-kāfirīna illā fī ḍalāl(in).

    Then, when he came to them with the truth from Us, they said, “Kill the sons of those who believe with him and keep their women.” But the plotting of the disbelievers was only in vain.

26. وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ذَرُوْنِيْٓ اَقْتُلْ مُوْسٰى وَلْيَدْعُ رَبَّهٗ ۚاِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ اَنْ يُّبَدِّلَ دِيْنَكُمْ اَوْ اَنْ يُّظْهِرَ فِى الْاَرْضِ الْفَسَادَ

    Wa qāla fir‘aunu aqtul mūsā walyad‘u rabbah(ū), innī akhāfu ay yubaddila dīnakum au ay yuẓhira fil-arḍil-fasād(a).

    And Pharaoh said, “Let me kill Moses, and let him call upon his Lord! I truly fear that he may change your traditions or cause mischief in the land.”

27. وَقَالَ مُوْسٰىٓ اِنِّيْ عُذْتُ بِرَبِّيْ وَرَبِّكُمْ مِّنْ كُلِّ مُتَكَبِّرٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِيَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ ࣖ

    Wa qāla mūsā innī ‘użtu birabbī wa rabbikum min kulli mutakabbiril lā yu'minu biyaumil-ḥisāb(i).

    Moses replied, “I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant person who does not believe in the Day of Reckoning.”

28. وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مُّؤْمِنٌۖ مِّنْ اٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَكْتُمُ اِيْمَانَهٗٓ اَتَقْتُلُوْنَ رَجُلًا اَنْ يَّقُوْلَ رَبِّيَ اللّٰهُ وَقَدْ جَاۤءَكُمْ بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ مِنْ رَّبِّكُمْ ۗوَاِنْ يَّكُ كَاذِبًا فَعَلَيْهِ كَذِبُهٗ ۚوَاِنْ يَّكُ صَادِقًا يُّصِبْكُمْ بَعْضُ الَّذِيْ يَعِدُكُمْ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهْدِيْ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ كَذَّابٌ

    Wa qāla rajulum mu'min(um), min āli fir‘auna yaktumu īmānahū ataqtulūna rajulan ay yaqūla rabbiyallāhu wa qad jā'akum bil-bayyināti mir rabbikum, wa iy yaku kāżiban fa ‘alaihi każibuh(ū), wa iy yaku ṣādiqay yuṣibkum ba‘ḍul-lażī ya‘idukum, innallāha lā yahdī man huwa musrifun każżāb(un).

    A believing man from Pharaoh’s people, who was hiding his faith, argued, “Will you kill a man ˹only˺ for saying: ‘My Lord is Allah,’ while he has in fact come to you with clear proofs from your Lord? If he is a liar, it will be to his own loss. But if he is truthful, then you will be afflicted with some of what he is threatening you with. Surely Allah does not guide whoever is a transgressor, a total liar.

29. يٰقَوْمِ لَكُمُ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ ظٰهِرِيْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِۖ فَمَنْ يَّنْصُرُنَا مِنْۢ بَأْسِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ جَاۤءَنَا ۗقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ مَآ اُرِيْكُمْ اِلَّا مَآ اَرٰى وَمَآ اَهْدِيْكُمْ اِلَّا سَبِيْلَ الرَّشَادِ

    Yā qaumi lakumul-mulkul-yauma ẓāhirīna fil-arḍ(i), famay yanṣurunā mim ba'sillāhi in jā'anā, qāla fir‘aunu mā urīkum illā mā arā wa mā ahdīkum illā sabīlar-rasyād(i).

    O my people! Authority belongs to you today, reigning supreme in the land. But who would help us against the torment of Allah, if it were to befall us?” Pharaoh assured ˹his people˺, “I am telling you only what I believe, and I am leading you only to the way of guidance.”

30. وَقَالَ الَّذِيْٓ اٰمَنَ يٰقَوْمِ اِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّثْلَ يَوْمِ الْاَحْزَابِۙ

    Wa qālal-lażī āmana yā qaumi innī akhāfu ‘alaikum miṡla yaumil-aḥzāb(i).

    And the man who believed cautioned, “O my people! I truly fear for you the doom of ˹earlier˺ enemy forces—

31. مِثْلَ دَأْبِ قَوْمِ نُوْحٍ وَّعَادٍ وَّثَمُوْدَ وَالَّذِيْنَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ ۗوَمَا اللّٰهُ يُرِيْدُ ظُلْمًا لِّلْعِبَادِ

    Miṡla da'bi qaumi nūḥiw wa ‘ādiw wa ṡamūda wal-lażīna mim ba‘dihim, wa mallāhu yurīdu ẓulmal lil-‘ibād(i).

    like the fate of the people of Noah, ’Ȃd, Thamûd, and those after them. For Allah would never will to wrong ˹His˺ servants.

32. وَيٰقَوْمِ اِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَوْمَ التَّنَادِۙ

    Wa yā qaumi innī akhāfu ‘alaikum yaumat-tanād(i).

    O my people! I truly fear for you the Day all will be crying out ˹to each other˺—

33. يَوْمَ تُوَلُّوْنَ مُدْبِرِيْنَۚ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ عَاصِمٍۚ وَمَنْ يُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ هَادٍ

    Yauma tuwallūna mudbirīn(a), mā lakum minallāhi min ‘āṣim(in), wa may yuḍlilillāhu famā lahū min hād(in).

    the Day you will ˹try in vain to˺ turn your backs and run away, with no one to protect you from Allah. And whoever Allah leaves to stray will be left with no guide.

34. وَلَقَدْ جَاۤءَكُمْ يُوْسُفُ مِنْ قَبْلُ بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ فَمَا زِلْتُمْ فِيْ شَكٍّ مِّمَّا جَاۤءَكُمْ بِهٖ ۗحَتّٰىٓ اِذَا هَلَكَ قُلْتُمْ لَنْ يَّبْعَثَ اللّٰهُ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ رَسُوْلًا ۗ كَذٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللّٰهُ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ مُّرْتَابٌۙ

    Wa laqad jā'akum yūsufu min qablu bil-bayyināti famā ziltum fī syakkim mimmā jā'akum bih(ī), ḥattā iżā halaka qultum lay yab‘aṡallāhu mim ba‘dihī rasūlā(n), każālika yuḍillullāhu man huwa musrifum murtāb(un).

    Joseph already came to you earlier with clear proofs, yet you never ceased to doubt what he came to you with. When he died you said, “Allah will never send a messenger after him.” This is how Allah leaves every transgressor and doubter to stray—

35. ۨالَّذِيْنَ يُجَادِلُوْنَ فِيْٓ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ بِغَيْرِ سُلْطٰنٍ اَتٰىهُمْۗ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَعِنْدَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا ۗ كَذٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ قَلْبِ مُتَكَبِّرٍ جَبَّارٍ

    Allażīna yujādilūna fī āyātillāhi bigairi sulṭānin atāhum, kabura maqtan ‘indallāhi wa ‘indal-lażīna āmanū, każālika yaṭba‘ullāhu ‘alā kulli qalbi mutakabbirin jabbār(in).

    those who dispute Allah’s signs with no proof given to them. How despicable is that for Allah and the believers! This is how Allah seals the heart of every arrogant tyrant.”

36. وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يٰهَامٰنُ ابْنِ لِيْ صَرْحًا لَّعَلِّيْٓ اَبْلُغُ الْاَسْبَابَۙ

    Wa qāla fir‘aunu yā hāmānubni lī ṣarḥal la‘allī ablugul-asbāb(a).

    Pharaoh ordered, “O Hamân! Build me a high tower so I may reach the pathways

37. اَسْبَابَ السَّمٰوٰتِ فَاَطَّلِعَ اِلٰٓى اِلٰهِ مُوْسٰى وَاِنِّيْ لَاَظُنُّهٗ كَاذِبًا ۗوَكَذٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ سُوْۤءُ عَمَلِهٖ وَصُدَّ عَنِ السَّبِيْلِ ۗوَمَا كَيْدُ فِرْعَوْنَ اِلَّا فِيْ تَبَابٍ ࣖ

    Asbābas-samāwāti fa aṭṭali‘a ilā ilāhi mūsā wa innī la'aẓunnuhū kāżibā(n), wa każālika zuyyina lifir‘auna sū'u ‘amalihī wa ṣudda ‘anis-sabīl(i), wa mā kaidu fir‘auna illā fī tabāb(in).

    leading up to the heavens and look for the God of Moses, although I am sure he is a liar.” And so Pharaoh’s evil deeds were made so appealing to him that he was hindered from the ˹Right˺ Way. But the plotting of Pharaoh was only in vain.

38. وَقَالَ الَّذِيْٓ اٰمَنَ يٰقَوْمِ اتَّبِعُوْنِ اَهْدِكُمْ سَبِيْلَ الرَّشَادِۚ

    Wa qālal-lażī āmana yā qaumittabi‘ūni ahdikum sabīlar-rasyād(i).

    And the man who believed urged, “O my people! Follow me, ˹and˺ I will lead you to the Way of Guidance.

39. يٰقَوْمِ اِنَّمَا هٰذِهِ الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَا مَتَاعٌ ۖوَّاِنَّ الْاٰخِرَةَ هِيَ دَارُ الْقَرَارِ

    Yā qaumi innamā hāżihil-ḥayātud-dun-yā matā‘(un), wa innal-ākhirata hiya dārul-qarār(i).

    O my people! This worldly life is only ˹a fleeting˺ enjoyment, whereas the Hereafter is truly the home of settlement.

40. مَنْ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً فَلَا يُجْزٰىٓ اِلَّا مِثْلَهَاۚ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّنْ ذَكَرٍ اَوْ اُنْثٰى وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ يَدْخُلُوْنَ الْجَنَّةَ يُرْزَقُوْنَ فِيْهَا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

    Man ‘amila sayyi'atan falā yujzā illā miṡlahā, wa man ‘amila ṣāliḥam min żakarin au unṡā wa huwa mu'minun fa'ulā'ika yadkhulūnal-jannata yurzaqūna fīhā bigairi ḥisāb(in).

    Whoever does an evil deed will only be paid back with its equivalent. And whoever does good, whether male or female, and is a believer, they will enter Paradise, where they will be provided for without limit.

41. ۞ وَيٰقَوْمِ مَا لِيْٓ اَدْعُوْكُمْ اِلَى النَّجٰوةِ وَتَدْعُوْنَنِيْٓ اِلَى النَّارِۗ

    Wa yā qaumi mā lī ad‘ūkum ilan-najāti wa tad‘ūnanī ilan-nār(i).

    O my people! How is it that I invite you to salvation, while you invite me to the Fire!

42. تَدْعُوْنَنِيْ لِاَكْفُرَ بِاللّٰهِ وَاُشْرِكَ بِهٖ مَا لَيْسَ لِيْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ وَّاَنَا۠ اَدْعُوْكُمْ اِلَى الْعَزِيْزِ الْغَفَّارِ

    Tad‘ūnanī li'akfura billāhi wa usyrika bihī mā laisa lī bihī ‘ilmuw wa ana ad‘ūkum ilal-‘azīzil-gaffār(i).

    You invite me to disbelieve in Allah and associate with Him what I have no knowledge of, while I invite you to the Almighty, Most Forgiving.

43. لَا جَرَمَ اَنَّمَا تَدْعُوْنَنِيْٓ اِلَيْهِ لَيْسَ لَهٗ دَعْوَةٌ فِى الدُّنْيَا وَلَا فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ وَاَنَّ مَرَدَّنَآ اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَاَنَّ الْمُسْرِفِيْنَ هُمْ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ

    Lā jarama annamā tad‘ūnanī ilaihi laisa lahū da‘watun fid-dun-yā wa lā fil-ākhirati wa anna maraddanā ilallāhi wa annal-musrifīna hum aṣḥābun-nār(i).

    There is no doubt that whatever ˹idols˺ you invite me to ˹worship˺ are not worthy to be invoked either in this world or the Hereafter. ˹Undoubtedly,˺ our return is to Allah, and the transgressors will be the inmates of the Fire.

44. فَسَتَذْكُرُوْنَ مَآ اَقُوْلُ لَكُمْۗ وَاُفَوِّضُ اَمْرِيْٓ اِلَى اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بَصِيْرٌ ۢبِالْعِبَادِ

    Fa satażkurūna mā aqūlu lakum, wa ufawwiḍu amrī ilallāh(i), innallāha baṣīrum bil-‘ibād(i).

    You will remember what I say to you, and I entrust my affairs to Allah. Surely Allah is All-Seeing of all ˹His˺ servants.”

45. فَوَقٰىهُ اللّٰهُ سَيِّاٰتِ مَا مَكَرُوْا وَحَاقَ بِاٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَ سُوْۤءُ الْعَذَابِۚ

    Fa waqāhullāhu sayyi'āti mā makarū wa ḥāqa bi'āli fir‘auna sū'al-‘ażāb(i).

    So Allah protected him from the evil of their schemes. And Pharaoh’s people were overwhelmed by an evil punishment:

46. اَلنَّارُ يُعْرَضُوْنَ عَلَيْهَا غُدُوًّا وَّعَشِيًّا ۚوَيَوْمَ تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ ۗ اَدْخِلُوْٓا اٰلَ فِرْعَوْنَ اَشَدَّ الْعَذَابِ

    An-nāru yu‘raḍūna ‘alaihā guduwwaw wa ‘asyiyyā(n), wa yauma taqūmus-sā‘ah(tu), adkhilū āla fir‘auna asyaddal-‘ażāb(i).

    they are exposed to the Fire ˹in their graves˺ morning and evening. And on the Day the Hour will be established ˹it will be said˺, “Admit Pharaoh’s people into the harshest punishment ˹of Hell˺.”

47. وَاِذْ يَتَحَاۤجُّوْنَ فِى النَّارِ فَيَقُوْلُ الضُّعَفٰۤؤُا لِلَّذِيْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْٓا اِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّغْنُوْنَ عَنَّا نَصِيْبًا مِّنَ النَّارِ

    Wa iż yataḥājjūna fin-nāri fayaqūluḍ-ḍu‘afā'u lil-lażīnastakbarū innā kunnā lakum taba‘an fahal antum mugnūna ‘annā naṣībam minan-nār(i).

    ˹Consider the Day˺ when they will dispute in the Fire, and the lowly ˹followers˺ will appeal to the arrogant ˹leaders˺, “We were your ˹dedicated˺ followers, will you then shield us from a portion of the Fire?”

48. قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْٓا اِنَّا كُلٌّ فِيْهَآ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدْ حَكَمَ بَيْنَ الْعِبَادِ

    Qālal-lażīnastakbarū innā kullun fīhā innallāha qad ḥakama bainal-‘ibād(i).

    The arrogant will say, “We are all in it! ˹For˺ Allah has already passed judgment over ˹His˺ servants.”

49. وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ فِى النَّارِ لِخَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ ادْعُوْا رَبَّكُمْ يُخَفِّفْ عَنَّا يَوْمًا مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ

    Wa qālal-lażīna fin-nāri likhazanati jahannamad‘ū rabbakum yukhaffif ‘annā yaumam minal-‘ażāb(i).

    And those in the Fire will cry out to the keepers of Hell, “Pray to your Lord to lighten the torment for us ˹even˺ for one day!”

50. قَالُوْٓا اَوَلَمْ تَكُ تَأْتِيْكُمْ رُسُلُكُمْ بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ ۗقَالُوْا بَلٰىۗ قَالُوْا فَادْعُوْا ۚوَمَا دُعٰۤؤُا الْكٰفِرِيْنَ اِلَّا فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ ࣖ

    Qālū awalam taku ta'tīkum rusulukum bil-bayyināt(i), qālū balā, qālū fad‘ū, wa mā du‘ā'ul-kāfirīna illā fī ḍalāl(in).

    The keepers will reply, “Did your messengers not ˹constantly˺ come to you with clear proofs?” They will say, “Yes ˹they did˺.” The keepers will say, “Then pray! Though the prayer of the disbelievers is only in vain.”

51. اِنَّا لَنَنْصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا فِى الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَيَوْمَ يَقُوْمُ الْاَشْهَادُۙ

    Innā lananṣuru rusulanā wal-lażīna āmanū fil-ḥayātid-dun-yā wa yauma yaqūmul-asyhād(u).

    We certainly help Our messengers and the believers, ˹both˺ in this worldly life and on the Day the witnesses will stand forth ˹for testimony˺—

52. يَوْمَ لَا يَنْفَعُ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ مَعْذِرَتُهُمْ وَلَهُمُ اللَّعْنَةُ وَلَهُمْ سُوْۤءُ الدَّارِ

    Yauma lā yanfa‘uẓ-ẓālimīna ma‘żiratuhum wa lahumul-la‘natu wa lahum sū'ud-dār(i).

    the Day the wrongdoers’ excuses will be of no benefit to them. They will be condemned, and will have the worst outcome.

53. وَلَقَدْاٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَى الْهُدٰى وَاَوْرَثْنَا بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ الْكِتٰبَۙ

    Wa laqad ātainā mūsal-hudā wa auraṡnā banī isrā'īlal-kitāb(a).

    And indeed, We gave Moses ˹true˺ guidance, and made the Children of Israel inherit the Scripture—

54. هُدًى وَّذِكْرٰى لِاُولِى الْاَلْبَابِ

    Hudaw wa żikrā li'ulil-albāb(i).

    a guide and a reminder to people of reason.

55. فَاصْبِرْ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْۢبِكَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ بِالْعَشِيِّ وَالْاِبْكَارِ

    Faṣbir inna wa‘dallāhi ḥaqquw wastagfir liżambika wa sabbiḥ biḥamdi rabbika bil-‘asyiyyi wal-ibkār(i).

    So be patient ˹O Prophet˺, ˹for˺ Allah’s promise is certainly true. Seek forgiveness for your shortcomings. And glorify the praises of your Lord morning and evening.

56. اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يُجَادِلُوْنَ فِيْٓ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ بِغَيْرِ سُلْطٰنٍ اَتٰىهُمْ ۙاِنْ فِيْ صُدُوْرِهِمْ اِلَّا كِبْرٌ مَّا هُمْ بِبَالِغِيْهِۚ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْبَصِيْرُ

    Innal-lażīna yujādilūna fī āyātillāhi bigairi sulṭānin atāhum, in fī ṣudūrihim illā kibrum mā hum bibāligīh(i), fasta‘iż billāh(i), innahū huwas-samī‘ul-baṣīr(u).

    Surely those who dispute Allah’s signs—with no proof given to them—have nothing in their hearts but greed for dominance, which they will never attain. So seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He alone is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

57. لَخَلْقُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ اَكْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

    Lakhalqus-samāwāti wal-arḍi akbaru min khalqin-nāsi wa lākinna akṡaran-nāsi lā ya‘lamūn(a).

    The creation of the heavens and the earth is certainly greater than the re-creation of humankind, but most people do not know.

58. وَمَا يَسْتَوِى الْاَعْمٰى وَالْبَصِيْرُ ەۙ وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَلَا الْمُسِيْۤئُ ۗقَلِيْلًا مَّا تَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ

    Wa mā yastawil-a‘mā wal-baṣīr(u), wal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti wa lal-musī'(u), qalīlam mā tatażakkarūn(a).

    Those blind ˹to the truth˺ and those who can see are not equal, nor are those who believe and do good ˹equal˺ to those who do evil. Yet you are hardly mindful.

59. اِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَاٰتِيَةٌ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيْهَا ۖوَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ

    Innas-sā‘ata la'ātiyatul lā raiba fīhā, wa lākinna akṡaran-nāsi lā yu'minūn(a).

    The Hour is certainly coming, there is no doubt about it. But most people do not believe.

60. وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُوْنِيْٓ اَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ ۗاِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِيْ سَيَدْخُلُوْنَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِيْنَ ࣖ

    Wa qāla rabbukumud‘ūnī astajib lakum, innal-lażīna yastakbirūna ‘an ‘ibādatī sayadkhulūna jahannama dākhirīn(a).

    Your Lord has proclaimed, “Call upon Me, I will respond to you. Surely those who are too proud to worship Me will enter Hell, fully humbled.”

61. اَللّٰهُ الَّذِيْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الَّيْلَ لِتَسْكُنُوْا فِيْهِ وَالنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًا ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَذُوْ فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُوْنَ

    Allāhul-lażī ja‘ala lakumul-laila litaskunū fīhi wan-nahāra mubṣirā(n), innallāha lażū faḍlin ‘alan-nāsi wa lākinna akṡaran-nāsi lā yasykurūn(a).

    It is Allah Who has made the night for you to rest in and the day bright. Surely Allah is ever Bountiful to humanity, but most people are ungrateful.

62. ذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبُّكُمْ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍۘ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ۖفَاَنّٰى تُؤْفَكُوْنَ

    Żālikumullāhu rabbukum khāliqu kulli syai'(in), lā ilāha illā huw(a), fa'annā tu'fakūn(a).

    That is Allah, your Lord, the Creator of all things. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. How can you then be deluded ˹from the truth˺?

63. كَذٰلِكَ يُؤْفَكُ الَّذِيْنَ كَانُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ يَجْحَدُوْنَ

    Każālika yu'fakul-lażīna kānū bi'āyātillāhi yajḥadūn(a).

    This is how those who used to reject Allah’s signs were ˹also˺ deluded.

64. اَللّٰهُ الَّذِيْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَرْضَ قَرَارًا وَّالسَّمَاۤءَ بِنَاۤءً وَّصَوَّرَكُمْ فَاَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْ وَرَزَقَكُمْ مِّنَ الطَّيِّبٰتِ ۗذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبُّكُمْ ۚ فَتَبٰرَكَ اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

    Allāhul-lażī ja‘ala lakumul-arḍa qarāraw was-samā'a binā'aw wa ṣawwarakum fa'aḥsana ṣuwarakum wa razaqakum minaṭ-ṭayyibāt(i), żālikumullāhu rabbukum, fatabārakallāhu rabbul-‘ālamīn(a).

    It is Allah Who made the earth a place of settlement for you and the sky a canopy. He shaped you ˹in the womb˺, perfecting your form. And He has provided you with what is good and lawful. That is Allah—your Lord. So Blessed is Allah, Lord of all worlds.

65. هُوَ الْحَيُّ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ فَادْعُوْهُ مُخْلِصِيْنَ لَهُ الدِّيْنَ ۗ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

    Huwal-ḥayyu lā ilāha illā huwa fad‘ūhu mukhliṣīna lahud-dīn(a), al-ḥamdu lillāhi rabbil-‘ālamīn(a).

    He is the Ever-Living. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. So call upon Him with sincere devotion, ˹saying,˺ “All praise is for Allah—Lord of all worlds.”

66. ۞ قُلْ اِنِّيْ نُهِيْتُ اَنْ اَعْبُدَ الَّذِيْنَ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ لَمَّا جَاۤءَنِيَ الْبَيِّنٰتُ مِنْ رَّبِّيْ وَاُمِرْتُ اَنْ اُسْلِمَ لِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

    Qul innī nuhītu an a‘budal-lażīna tad‘ūna min dūnillāhi lammā jā'aniyal-bayyinātu mir rabbī wa umirtu an uslima lirabbil-‘ālamīn(a).

    Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “I have been forbidden to worship those ˹idols˺ you worship besides Allah, since clear proofs have come to me from my Lord. And I have been commanded to ˹fully˺ submit to the Lord of all worlds.”

67. هُوَ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ يُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلًا ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوْٓا اَشُدَّكُمْ ثُمَّ لِتَكُوْنُوْا شُيُوْخًا ۚوَمِنْكُمْ مَّنْ يُّتَوَفّٰى مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلِتَبْلُغُوْٓا اَجَلًا مُّسَمًّى وَّلَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ

    Huwal-lażī khalaqakum min turābin ṡumma min nuṭfatin ṡumma min ‘alaqatin ṡumma yukhrijukum ṭiflan ṡumma litablugū asyuddakum ṡumma litakūnū syuyūkhā(n), wa minkum may yutawaffā min qablu wa litablugū ajalam musammaw wa la‘allakum ta‘qilūn(a).

    He is the One Who created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then ˹developed you into˺ a clinging clot ˹of blood˺, then He brings you forth as infants, so that you may reach your prime, and become old—though some of you ˹may˺ die sooner—reaching an appointed time, so perhaps you may understand ˹Allah’s power˺.

68. هُوَ الَّذِيْ يُحْيٖ وَيُمِيْتُۚ فَاِذَا قَضٰىٓ اَمْرًا فَاِنَّمَا يَقُوْلُ لَهٗ كُنْ فَيَكُوْنُ ࣖ

    Huwal-lażī yuḥyī wa yumīt(u), fa'iżā qaḍā amran fa'innamā yaqūlu lahū kun fa yakūn(u).

    He is the One Who gives life and causes death. When He decrees a matter, He simply tells it, “Be!” And it is!

69. اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ يُجَادِلُوْنَ فِيْٓ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ ۗاَنّٰى يُصْرَفُوْنَۚ

    Alam tara ilal-lażīna yujādilūna fī āyātillāh(i), annā yuṣrafūn(a).

    Have you not seen how those who dispute Allah’s signs are turned away?

70. اَلَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِالْكِتٰبِ وَبِمَآ اَرْسَلْنَا بِهٖ رُسُلَنَا ۗفَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُوْنَۙ

    Allażīna każżabū bil kitābi wa bimā arsalnā bihī rusulanā, fasaufa ya‘lamūn(a).

    ˹They are˺ the ones who reject this Book and all ˹scriptures˺ We sent Our messengers with. So they will know ˹the consequences˺

71. اِذِ الْاَغْلٰلُ فِيْٓ اَعْنَاقِهِمْ وَالسَّلٰسِلُۗ يُسْحَبُوْنَۙ

    Iżil-aglālu fī a‘nāqihim was-salāsil(u), yusḥabūn(a).

    when shackles will be around their necks and chains ˹on their legs˺. They will be dragged

72. فِى الْحَمِيْمِ ەۙ ثُمَّ فِى النَّارِ يُسْجَرُوْنَۚ

    Fil-ḥamīm(i), ṡumma fin-nāri yusjarūn(a).

    through boiling water, then burned in the Fire ˹as fuel˺.

73. ثُمَّ قِيْلَ لَهُمْ اَيْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تُشْرِكُوْنَۙ

    Ṡumma qīla lahum aina mā kuntum tusyrikūn(a).

    Then they will be asked, “Where are those ˹idols˺ you used to associate

74. مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ۗقَالُوْا ضَلُّوْا عَنَّا بَلْ لَّمْ نَكُنْ نَّدْعُوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ شَيْـًٔاۗ كَذٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللّٰهُ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ

    Min dūnillāh(i), qālū ḍallū ‘annā bal lam nakun nad‘ū min qablu syai'ā(n), każālika yuḍillullāhul-kāfirīn(a).

    with Allah?” They will cry, “They have ˹all˺ failed us. In fact, we did not invoke anything ˹real˺ before.” This is how Allah leaves the disbelievers to stray.

75. ذٰلِكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَفْرَحُوْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَبِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَمْرَحُوْنَ

    Żālikum bimā kuntum tafraḥūna fil-arḍi bigairil-ḥaqqi wa bimā kuntum tamraḥūn(a).

    ˹They will be told,˺ “This ˹punishment˺ is for being prideful on earth unjustly and for acting arrogantly.

76. اُدْخُلُوْٓا اَبْوَابَ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَا ۚفَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِيْنَ

    Udkhlulū abwāba jahannama khālidīna fīhā, fabi'sa maṡwal-mutakabūbirīn(a).

    Enter the gates of Hell, to stay there forever. What an evil home for the arrogant!”

77. فَاصْبِرْ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ ۚفَاِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ الَّذِيْ نَعِدُهُمْ اَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَاِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُوْنَ

    Faṣbir inna wa‘dallāhi ḥaqq(un), fa'immā nuriyannaka ba‘ḍal-lażī na‘iduhum au natawaffayannaka fa'ilainā yurja‘ūn(a).

    So be patient ˹O Prophet˺. Surely Allah’s promise is true. Whether We show you some of what We threaten them with, or cause you to die ˹before that˺, to Us they will ˹all˺ be returned.

78. وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ لَّمْ نَقْصُصْ عَلَيْكَ ۗوَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُوْلٍ اَنْ يَّأْتِيَ بِاٰيَةٍ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ ۚفَاِذَا جَاۤءَ اَمْرُ اللّٰهِ قُضِيَ بِالْحَقِّ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ الْمُبْطِلُوْنَ ࣖ

    Wa laqad arsalnā rusulam min qablika minhum man qaṣaṣnā ‘alaika wa minhum mal lam naqṣuṣ ‘alaik(a), wa mā kāna lirasūlin ay ya'tiya bi'āyatin illā bi'iżnillāh(i), fa'iżā jā'a amrullāhi quḍiya bil-ḥaqqi wa khasira hunālikal-mubṭilūn(a).

    We already sent messengers before you. We have told you the stories of some of them, while others We have not. It was not for any messenger to bring a sign without Allah’s permission. But when Allah’s decree comes, judgment will be passed with fairness, and the people of falsehood will then be in ˹total˺ loss.

79. اَللّٰهُ الَّذِيْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَنْعَامَ لِتَرْكَبُوْا مِنْهَا وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُوْنَۖ

    Allāhul-lażī ja‘ala lakumul-an‘āma litarkabū minhā wa minhā ta'kulūn(a).

    It is Allah Who made cattle for you so that you may ride some and eat others.

80. وَلَكُمْ فِيْهَا مَنَافِعُ وَلِتَبْلُغُوْا عَلَيْهَا حَاجَةً فِيْ صُدُوْرِكُمْ وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى الْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُوْنَۗ

    Wa lakum fīhā manāfi‘u wa litablugū ‘alaihā ḥājatan fī ṣudūrikum wa ‘alaihā wa ‘alal-fulki tuḥmalūn(a).

    Also, you find in them ˹other˺ benefits. And by means of them you may reach destinations you desire. And you are carried upon ˹some of˺ them and upon ships.

81. وَيُرِيْكُمْ اٰيٰتِهٖۖ فَاَيَّ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ تُنْكِرُوْنَ

    Wa yurīkum āyātih(ī), fa ayya āyātillāhi tunkirūn(a).

    And He shows you His signs. Now which of Allah’s signs will you deny?

82. اَفَلَمْ يَسِيْرُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ فَيَنْظُرُوْا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ۗ كَانُوْٓا اَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَاَشَدَّ قُوَّةً وَّاٰثَارًا فِى الْاَرْضِ فَمَآ اَغْنٰى عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يَكْسِبُوْنَ

    Afalam yasīrū fil-arḍi fa yanẓurū kaifa kāna ‘āqibatul-lażīna min qablihim, kānū akṡara minhum wa asyadda quwwataw wa āṡāran fil-arḍi famā agnā ‘anhum mā kānū yaksibūn(a).

    Have they not travelled throughout the land to see what was the end of those who were ˹destroyed˺ before them? They were far superior in might and ˹richer in˺ monuments throughout the land, but their ˹worldly˺ gains were of no benefit to them.

83. فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ فَرِحُوْا بِمَا عِنْدَهُمْ مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ

    Falammā jā'athum rusuluhum bil-bayyināti fariḥū bimā ‘indahum minal-‘ilmi wa ḥāqa bihim mā kānū bihī yastahzi'ūn(a).

    When their messengers came to them with clear proofs, they were prideful in whatever ˹worldly˺ knowledge they had, and were ˹ultimately˺ overwhelmed by what they used to ridicule.

84. فَلَمَّا رَاَوْا بَأْسَنَاۗ قَالُوْٓا اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ وَحْدَهٗ وَكَفَرْنَا بِمَا كُنَّا بِهٖ مُشْرِكِيْنَ

    Falammā ra'au ba'sanā qālū āmannā billāhi waḥdahū wa kafarnā bimā kunnā bihī musyrikīn(a).

    When they saw Our punishment, they cried, “˹Now˺ we believe in Allah alone and reject what we had been associating with Him!”

85. فَلَمْ يَكُ يَنْفَعُهُمْ اِيْمَانُهُمْ لَمَّا رَاَوْا بَأْسَنَا ۗسُنَّتَ اللّٰهِ الَّتِيْ قَدْ خَلَتْ فِيْ عِبَادِهٖۚ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ ࣖ

    Falam yaku yanfa‘uhum īmānuhum lammā ra'au ba'sanā, sunnatallāhil latī qad khalat fī ‘ibādih(ī), wa khasira hunālikal-kāfirūn(a).

    But their faith was of no benefit to them when they saw Our torment. This has ˹always˺ been Allah’s way ˹of dealing˺ with His ˹wicked˺ servants. Then and there the disbelievers were in ˹total˺ loss.
