Surah Hud

Translation by:
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

1. الۤرٰ ۗ كِتٰبٌ اُحْكِمَتْ اٰيٰتُهٗ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ مِنْ لَّدُنْ حَكِيْمٍ خَبِيْرٍۙ

   Alif lām rā, kitābun uḥkimat āyātuhū ṡumma fuṣṣilat mil ladun ḥakīmin khabīr(in).

   Alif-Lãm-Ra. ˹This is˺ a Book whose verses are well perfected and then fully explained. ˹It is˺ from the One ˹Who is˺ All-Wise, All-Aware.

2. اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْٓا اِلَّا اللّٰهَ ۗاِنَّنِيْ لَكُمْ مِّنْهُ نَذِيْرٌ وَّبَشِيْرٌۙ

   Allā ta‘budū illallāh(a), innanī lakum minhu nażīruw wa basyīr(un).

   ˹Tell them, O Prophet,˺ “Worship none but Allah. Surely I am a warner and deliverer of good news to you from Him.

3. وَّاَنِ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْٓا اِلَيْهِ يُمَتِّعْكُمْ مَّتَاعًا حَسَنًا اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَّيُؤْتِ كُلَّ ذِيْ فَضْلٍ فَضْلَهٗ ۗوَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ كَبِيْرٍ

   Wa anistagfirū rabbakum ṡumma tūbū ilaihi yumatti‘kum matā‘an ḥasanan ilā ajalim musammaw wa yu'ti kulla żī faḍlin faḍlah(ū), wa in tawallau fa innī akhāfu ‘alaikum ‘ażāba yaumin kabīr(in).

   And seek your Lord’s forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. He will grant you a good provision for an appointed term and graciously reward the doers of good. But if you turn away, then I truly fear for you the torment of a formidable Day.

4. اِلَى اللّٰهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ ۚوَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ

   Ilallāhi marji‘ukum, wa huwa ‘alā kulli syai'in qadīr(un).

   To Allah is your return. And He is Most Capable of everything.”

5. اَلَآ اِنَّهُمْ يَثْنُوْنَ صُدُوْرَهُمْ لِيَسْتَخْفُوْا مِنْهُۗ اَلَا حِيْنَ يَسْتَغْشُوْنَ ثِيَابَهُمْ ۙيَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّوْنَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُوْنَۚ اِنَّهٗ عَلِيْمٌ ۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ ۔

   Alā innahum yaṡnūna ṣudūrahum liyastakhfū minh(u), alā ḥīna yastagsyūna ṡiyābahum, ya‘lamu mā yusirrūna wa mā yu‘linūn(a), innahū ‘alīmum biżātiṣ-ṣudūr(i).

   Indeed, they enfold ˹what is in˺ their hearts, ˹trying˺ to hide it from Him! But even when they cover themselves with their clothes, He knows what they conceal and what they reveal. Surely He knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart.

6. ۞ وَمَا مِنْ دَاۤبَّةٍ فِى الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا عَلَى اللّٰهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا ۗ كُلٌّ فِيْ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِيْنٍ

   Wa mā min dābbatin fil-arḍi illā ‘alallāhi rizquhā wa ya‘lamu mustaqarrahā wa mustauda‘ahā, kullun fī kitābim mubīn(in).

   There is no moving creature on earth whose provision is not guaranteed by Allah. And He knows where it lives and where it is laid to rest. All is ˹written˺ in a perfect Record.

7. وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ فِيْ سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ وَّكَانَ عَرْشُهٗ عَلَى الْمَاۤءِ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ اَيُّكُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ۗوَلَىِٕنْ قُلْتَ اِنَّكُمْ مَّبْعُوْثُوْنَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ الْمَوْتِ لَيَقُوْلَنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اِنْ هٰذَٓا اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ

   Wa huwal-lażī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa fī sittati ayyāmiw wa kāna ‘arsyuhū ‘alal-mā'i liyabluwakum ayyukum aḥsanu ‘amalā(n), wa la'in qulta innakum mab‘ūṡūna mim ba‘dil-mauti layaqūlannal-lażīna kafarū in hāżā illā siḥrum mubīn(un).

   He is the One Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days—and His Throne was upon the waters—in order to test which of you is best in deeds. And if you ˹O Prophet˺ say, “Surely you will ˹all˺ be raised up after death,” the disbelievers will certainly say, “That is nothing but pure magic!”

8. وَلَىِٕنْ اَخَّرْنَا عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ اِلٰٓى اُمَّةٍ مَّعْدُوْدَةٍ لَّيَقُوْلُنَّ مَا يَحْبِسُهٗ ۗ اَلَا يَوْمَ يَأْتِيْهِمْ لَيْسَ مَصْرُوْفًا عَنْهُمْ وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ ࣖ

   Wa la'in akhkharnā ‘anhumul-‘ażāba ilā ummatim ma‘dūdatil layaqūlunna mā yaḥbisuh(ū), alā yauma ya'tīhim laisa maṣrūfan ‘anhum wa ḥāqa bihim mā kānū bihī yastahzi'ūn(a).

   And if We delay their punishment until an appointed time, they will definitely say, “What is holding it back?” Indeed, on the Day it overtakes them, it will not be averted from them, and they will be overwhelmed by what they used to ridicule.

9. وَلَىِٕنْ اَذَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعْنٰهَا مِنْهُۚ اِنَّهٗ لَيَـُٔوْسٌ كَفُوْرٌ

   Wa la'in ażaqnal-insāna minnā raḥmatan ṡumma naza‘nāhā ‘anh(u), innahū laya'ūsun kafūr(un).

   If We give people a taste of Our mercy then take it away from them, they become utterly desperate, ungrateful.

10. وَلَىِٕنْ اَذَقْنٰهُ نَعْمَاۤءَ بَعْدَ ضَرَّاۤءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُوْلَنَّ ذَهَبَ السَّيِّاٰتُ عَنِّيْ ۗاِنَّهٗ لَفَرِحٌ فَخُوْرٌۙ

    Wa la'in ażaqnāhu na‘mā'a ba‘da ḍarrā'a massathu layaqūlanna żahabas-sayyi'ātu ‘annī, innahū lafariḥun fakhūr(un).

    But if We give them a taste of prosperity after being touched with adversity, they say, “My ills are gone,” and become totally prideful and boastful,

11. اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ صَبَرُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّاَجْرٌ كَبِيْرٌ

    Illal-lażīna ṣabarū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāt(i), ulā'ika lahum magfiratuw wa ajrun kabīr(un).

    except those who patiently endure and do good. It is they who will have forgiveness and a mighty reward.

12. فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكٌۢ بَعْضَ مَا يُوْحٰىٓ اِلَيْكَ وَضَاۤىِٕقٌۢ بِهٖ صَدْرُكَ اَنْ يَّقُوْلُوْا لَوْلَآ اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ كَنْزٌ اَوْ جَاۤءَ مَعَهٗ مَلَكٌ ۗاِنَّمَآ اَنْتَ نَذِيْرٌ ۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَّكِيْلٌ ۗ

    Fa la‘allaka tārikum ba‘ḍa mā yūḥā ilaika wa ḍā'ikum bihī ṣadruka ay yaqūlū lau lā unzila ‘alaihi kanzun au jā'a ma‘ahū malak(un), innamā anta nażīr(un), wallāhu ‘alā kulli syai'in wakīl(un).

    Perhaps you ˹O Prophet˺ may wish to give up some of what is revealed to you and may be distressed by it because they say, “If only a treasure had been sent down to him, or an angel had come with him!” You are only a warner, and Allah is the Trustee of All Affairs.

13. اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰىهُ ۗقُلْ فَأْتُوْا بِعَشْرِ سُوَرٍ مِّثْلِهٖ مُفْتَرَيٰتٍ وَّادْعُوْا مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ

    Am yaqūlūnaftarāh(u), qul fa'tū bi‘asyri suwarim miṡlihī muftarayātiw wad‘ū manistaṭa‘tum min dūnillāhi in kuntum ṣādiqīn(a).

    Or do they say, “He has fabricated this ˹Quran˺!”? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Produce ten fabricated sûrahs like it and seek help from whoever you can—other than Allah—if what you say is true!”

14. فَاِلَّمْ يَسْتَجِيْبُوْا لَكُمْ فَاعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّمَآ اُنْزِلَ بِعِلْمِ اللّٰهِ وَاَنْ لَّآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ۚفَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ

    Fa illam yastajībū lakum fa‘lamū annamā unzila bi‘ilmillāhi wa allā ilāha illā huw(a), fahal antum muslimūn(a).

    But if your helpers fail you, then know that it has been revealed with the knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him! Will you ˹not˺ then submit ˹to Allah˺?

15. مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيْدُ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِيْنَتَهَا نُوَفِّ اِلَيْهِمْ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فِيْهَا وَهُمْ فِيْهَا لَا يُبْخَسُوْنَ

    Man kāna yurīdul-ḥayātad-dun-yā wa zīnatahā nuwaffi ilaihim a‘mālahum fīhā wa hum fīhā lā yubkhasūn(a).

    Whoever desires ˹only˺ this worldly life and its luxuries, We will pay them in full for their deeds in this life—nothing will be left out.

16. اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا النَّارُ ۖوَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُوْا فِيْهَا وَبٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ

    Ulā'ikal-lażīna laisa lahum fil-ākhirati illan-nār(u), wa ḥabiṭa mā ṣana‘ū fīhā wa bāṭilum mā kānū ya‘malūn(a).

    It is they who will have nothing in the Hereafter except the Fire. Their efforts in this life will be fruitless and their deeds will be useless.

17. اَفَمَنْ كَانَ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ وَيَتْلُوْهُ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْهُ وَمِنْ قَبْلِهٖ كِتٰبُ مُوْسٰىٓ اِمَامًا وَّرَحْمَةًۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖ ۗوَمَنْ يَّكْفُرْ بِهٖ مِنَ الْاَحْزَابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهٗ فَلَا تَكُ فِيْ مِرْيَةٍ مِّنْهُ اِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ

    Afaman kāna ‘alā bayyinatim mir rabbihī wa yatlūhu syāhidum minhu wa min qablihī kitābu mūsā imāmaw wa raḥmah(tan), ulā'ika yu'minūna bih(ī), wa may yakfur bihī minal-aḥzābi fan-nāru mau‘iduhū falā taku fī miryatim minhu innahul-ḥaqqu mir rabbika wa lākinna akṡaran-nāsi lā yu'minūn(a).

    ˹Can these people be compared to˺ those ˹believers˺ who stand on clear proof from their Lord, backed by ˹the Quran as˺ a witness from Him, and preceded by the Book of Moses ˹which was revealed˺ as a guide and mercy? It is those ˹believers˺ who have faith in it. But whoever from the ˹disbelieving˺ groups rejects it, the Fire will be their destiny. So do not be in doubt of it. It is certainly the truth from your Lord, but most people do not believe.

18. وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًاۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ يُعْرَضُوْنَ عَلٰى رَبِّهِمْ وَيَقُوْلُ الْاَشْهَادُ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَبُوْا عَلٰى رَبِّهِمْۚ اَلَا لَعْنَةُ اللّٰهِ عَلَى الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ۙ

    Wa man aẓlamu mimmaniftarā ‘alallāhi każibā(n), ulā'ika yu‘raḍūna ‘alā rabbihim wa yaqūlul-asyhādu hā'ulā'il-lażīna każabū ‘alā rabbihim, alā la‘natullāhi ‘alaẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

    Who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah? They will be brought before their Lord, and the witnesses will say, “These are the ones who lied against their Lord.” Surely Allah’s condemnation is upon the wrongdoers,

19. الَّذِيْنَ يَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ وَيَبْغُوْنَهَا عِوَجًاۗ وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ كفِٰرُوْنَ

    Al-lażīna yaṣuddūna ‘an sabīlillāhi wa yabgūnahā ‘iwajā(n), wa hum bil-ākhirati hum kāfirūn(a).

    who hinder ˹others˺ from Allah’s Path, striving to make it ˹appear˺ crooked, and disbelieve in the Hereafter.

20. اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَمْ يَكُوْنُوْا مُعْجِزِيْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ ۘ يُضٰعَفُ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ ۗمَا كَانُوْا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ السَّمْعَ وَمَا كَانُوْا يُبْصِرُوْنَ

    Ulā'ika lam yakūnū mu‘jizīna fil-arḍi wa mā kāna lahum min dūnillāhi min auliyā'(a), yuḍā‘afu lahumul-‘ażāb(u), mā kānū yastaṭī‘ūnas-sam‘a wa mā kānū yubṣirūn(a).

    They will never frustrate Allah on earth, and they will have no protector besides Allah. Their punishment will be multiplied, for they failed to hear or see ˹the truth˺.

21. اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ خَسِرُوْٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يَفْتَرُوْنَ

    Ulā'ikal-lażīna khasirū anfusahum wa ḍalla ‘anhum mā kānū yaftarūn(a).

    It is they who have ruined themselves, and whatever ˹gods˺ they fabricated will fail them.

22. لَاجَرَمَ اَنَّهُمْ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ هُمُ الْاَخْسَرُوْنَ

    Lā jarama annahum fil-ākhirati humul-akhsarūn(a).

    Without a doubt, they will be the worst losers in the Hereafter.

23. اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَاَخْبَتُوْٓا اِلٰى رَبِّهِمْۙ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِۚ هُمْ فِيْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ

    Innal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti wa akhbatū ilā rabbihim, ulā'ika aṣḥābul-jannati hum fīhā khālidūn(a).

    Surely those who believe, do good, and humble themselves before their Lord will be the residents of Paradise. They will be there forever.

24. ۞ مَثَلُ الْفَرِيْقَيْنِ كَالْاَعْمٰى وَالْاَصَمِّ وَالْبَصِيْرِ وَالسَّمِيْعِۗ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيٰنِ مَثَلًا ۗ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ ࣖ

    Maṡalul-farīqaini kal-a‘mā wal-aṣammi wal-baṣīri was-samī‘(i), hal yastawiyāni maṡalā(n), afalā tażakkarūn(a).

    The example of these two parties is that of the blind and the deaf, compared to the seeing and the hearing. Can the two be equal? Will you not then be mindful?

25. وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰى قَوْمِهٖٓ اِنِّيْ لَكُمْ نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ۙ

    Wa laqad arsalnā nūḥan ilā qaumihī innī lakum nażīrum mubīn(un).

    Surely We sent Noah to his people. ˹He said,˺ “Indeed, I am sent to you with a clear warning

26. اَنْ لَّا تَعْبُدُوْٓا اِلَّا اللّٰهَ ۖاِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ اَلِيْمٍ

    Allā ta‘budū illallāh(a), innī akhāfu ‘alaikum ‘ażāba yaumin alīm(in).

    that you should worship none but Allah. I truly fear for you the torment of a painful Day.”

27. فَقَالَ الْمَلَاُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖ مَا نَرٰىكَ اِلَّا بَشَرًا مِّثْلَنَا وَمَا نَرٰىكَ اتَّبَعَكَ اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ اَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِيَ الرَّأْيِۚ وَمَا نَرٰى لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ فَضْلٍۢ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كٰذِبِيْنَ

    Fa qālal-mala'ul-lażīna kafarū min qaumihī mā narāka illā basyaram miṡlanā wa mā narākattaba‘aka illal-lażīna hum arāżilunā bādiyar-ra'y(i), wa mā narā lakum ‘alainā min faḍlim bal naẓunnukum kāżibīn(a).

    The disbelieving chiefs of his people said, “We see you only as a human being like ourselves, and we see that no one follows you except the lowliest among us, who do so ˹hastily˺ without thinking. We do not see anything that makes ˹all of˺ you any better than us. In fact, we think you are liars.”

28. قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّيْ وَاٰتٰىنِيْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِهٖ فَعُمِّيَتْ عَلَيْكُمْۗ اَنُلْزِمُكُمُوْهَا وَاَنْتُمْ لَهَا كٰرِهُوْنَ

    Qāla yā qaumi ara'aitum in kuntu ‘alā bayyinatim mir rabbī wa ātānī raḥmatam min ‘indihī fa ‘ummiyat ‘alaikum, anulzimukumūhā wa antum lahā kārihūn(a).

    He said, “O my people! Consider if I stand on a clear proof from my Lord and He has blessed me with a mercy from Himself, which you fail to see. Should we ˹then˺ force it on you against your will?

29. وَيٰقَوْمِ لَآ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مَالًاۗ اِنْ اَجْرِيَ اِلَّا عَلَى اللّٰهِ وَمَآ اَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْاۗ اِنَّهُمْ مُّلٰقُوْا رَبِّهِمْ وَلٰكِنِّيْٓ اَرٰىكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُوْنَ

    Wa yā qaumi lā as'alukum ‘alaihi mālā(n), in ajriya illā ‘alallāhi wa mā ana biṭāridil-lażīna āmanū, innahum mulāqū rabbihim wa lākinnī arākum qauman tajhalūn(a).

    O my people! I do not ask you for a payment for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from Allah. And I will never dismiss the believers, for they will surely meet their Lord. But I can see that you are a people acting ignorantly.

30. وَيٰقَوْمِ مَنْ يَّنْصُرُنِيْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنْ طَرَدْتُّهُمْ ۗ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ

    Wa yā qaumi may yanṣurunī minallāhi in ṭarattuhum, afalā tażakkarūn(a).

    O my people! Who would protect me from Allah if I were to dismiss them? Will you not then be mindful?

31. وَلَآ اَقُوْلُ لَكُمْ عِنْدِيْ خَزَاۤىِٕنُ اللّٰهِ وَلَآ اَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ وَلَآ اَقُوْلُ اِنِّيْ مَلَكٌ وَّلَآ اَقُوْلُ لِلَّذِيْنَ تَزْدَرِيْٓ اَعْيُنُكُمْ لَنْ يُّؤْتِيَهُمُ اللّٰهُ خَيْرًا ۗ اَللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِيْٓ اَنْفُسِهِمْ ۚاِنِّيْٓ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

    Wa lā aqūlu lakum ‘indī khazā'inullāhi wa lā a‘lamul-gaiba wa lā aqūlu innī malakuw wa lā aqūlu lil-lażīna tazdarī a‘yunukum lay yu'tiyahumullāhu khairā(n), allāhu a‘lamu bimā fī anfusihim, innī iżal laminaẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

    I do not say to you that I possess Allah’s treasuries or know the unseen, nor do I claim to be an angel, nor do I say that Allah will never grant goodness to those you look down upon. Allah knows best what is ˹hidden˺ within them. ˹If I did,˺ then I would truly be one of the wrongdoers.”

32. قَالُوْا يٰنُوْحُ قَدْ جَادَلْتَنَا فَاَ كْثَرْتَ جِدَالَنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ

    Qālū yā nūḥu qad jādaltanā fa akṡarta jidālanā fa'tinā bimā ta‘idunā in kunta minaṣ-ṣādiqīn(a).

    They protested, “O Noah! You have argued with us far too much, so bring upon us what you threaten us with, if what you say is true.”

33. قَالَ اِنَّمَا يَأْتِيْكُمْ بِهِ اللّٰهُ اِنْ شَاۤءَ وَمَآ اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِيْنَ

    Qāla innamā ya'tīkum bihillāhu in syā'a wa mā antum bimu‘jizīn(a).

    He responded, “It is Allah Who can bring it upon you if He wills, and then you will have no escape!

34. وَلَا يَنْفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِيْٓ اِنْ اَرَدْتُّ اَنْ اَنْصَحَ لَكُمْ اِنْ كَانَ اللّٰهُ يُرِيْدُ اَنْ يُّغْوِيَكُمْ ۗهُوَ رَبُّكُمْ ۗوَاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَۗ

    Wa lā yanfa‘ukum nuṣḥī in arattu an anṣaḥa lakum in kānallāhu yurīdu ay yugwiyakum, huwa rabbukum, wa ilaihi turja‘ūn(a).

    My advice will not benefit you—no matter how hard I try—if Allah wills ˹for˺ you to stray. He is your Lord, and to Him you will ˹all˺ be returned.”

35. اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰىهُۗ قُلْ اِنِ افْتَرَيْتُهٗ فَعَلَيَّ اِجْرَامِيْ وَاَنَا۠ بَرِيْۤءٌ مِّمَّا تُجْرِمُوْنَ ࣖ

    Am yaqūlūnaftarāh(u), qul iniftaraituhū fa ‘alayya ijrāmī wa ana barī'um mimmā tujrimūn(a).

    Or do they say, “He has fabricated this ˹Quran˺!”? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If I have done so, then I bear the burden of that sin! But I am free from your sinful accusation.”

36. وَاُوْحِيَ اِلٰى نُوْحٍ اَنَّهٗ لَنْ يُّؤْمِنَ مِنْ قَوْمِكَ اِلَّا مَنْ قَدْ اٰمَنَ فَلَا تَبْتَىِٕسْ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَفْعَلُوْنَۖ

    Wa ūḥiya ilā nūḥin annahū lay yu'mina min qaumika illā man qad āmana falā tabta'is bimā kānū yaf‘alūn(a).

    And it was revealed to Noah, “None of your people will believe except those who already have. So do not be distressed by what they have been doing.

37. وَاصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِاَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا وَلَا تُخَاطِبْنِيْ فِى الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا ۚاِنَّهُمْ مُّغْرَقُوْنَ

    Waṣna‘il-fulka bi'a‘yuninā wa waḥyinā wa lā tukhāṭibnī fil-lażīna ẓalamū, innahum mugraqūn(a).

    And build the Ark under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes and directions, and do not plead with Me for those who have done wrong, for they will surely be drowned.”

38. وَيَصْنَعُ الْفُلْكَۗ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ مَلَاٌ مِّنْ قَوْمِهٖ سَخِرُوْا مِنْهُ ۗقَالَ اِنْ تَسْخَرُوْا مِنَّا فَاِنَّا نَسْخَرُ مِنْكُمْ كَمَا تَسْخَرُوْنَۗ

    Wa yaṣna‘ul-fulk(a), wa kullamā marra ‘alaihi mala'um min qaumihī sakhirū minh(u), qāla in taskharū minnā fa innā naskharu minkum kamā taskharūn(a).

    So he began to build the Ark, and whenever some of the chiefs of his people passed by, they mocked him. He said, “If you laugh at us, we will ˹soon˺ laugh at you similarly.

39. فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَۙ مَنْ يَّأْتِيْهِ عَذَابٌ يُّخْزِيْهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيْمٌ

    Fa saufa ta‘lamūn(a), may ya'tīhi ‘ażābuy yukhzīhi wa yaḥillu ‘alaihi ‘ażābum muqīm(un).

    You will soon come to know who will be visited by a humiliating torment ˹in this life˺ and overwhelmed by an everlasting punishment ˹in the next˺.”

40. حَتّٰىٓ اِذَا جَاۤءَ اَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّوْرُۙ قُلْنَا احْمِلْ فِيْهَا مِنْ كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَاَهْلَكَ اِلَّا مَنْ سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلُ وَمَنْ اٰمَنَ ۗوَمَآ اٰمَنَ مَعَهٗٓ اِلَّا قَلِيْلٌ

    Ḥattā iżā jā'a amrunā wafārat-tannūr(u), qulnaḥmil fīhā min kullin zaujainiṡnaini wa ahlaka illā man sabaqa ‘alaihil-qaulu wa man āman(a), wa mā āmana ma‘ahū illā qalīl(un).

    And when Our command came and the oven burst ˹with water˺, We said ˹to Noah˺, “Take into the Ark a pair from every species along with your family—except those against whom the decree ˹to drown˺ has already been passed—and those who believe.” But none believed with him except for a few.

41. ۞ وَقَالَ ارْكَبُوْا فِيْهَا بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ مَجْرٰ۪ىهَا وَمُرْسٰىهَا ۗاِنَّ رَبِّيْ لَغَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ

    Wa qālarkabū fīhā bismillāhi majrêhā wa mursāhā, inna rabbī lagafūrur raḥīm(un).

    And he said, “Board it! In the Name of Allah it will sail and cast anchor. Surely my Lord is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

42. وَهِيَ تَجْرِيْ بِهِمْ فِيْ مَوْجٍ كَالْجِبَالِۗ وَنَادٰى نُوْحُ ِۨابْنَهٗ وَكَانَ فِيْ مَعْزِلٍ يّٰبُنَيَّ ارْكَبْ مَّعَنَا وَلَا تَكُنْ مَّعَ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ

    Wa hiya tajrī bihim fī maujin kal-jibāl(i), wa nādā nūḥunibnahū wa kāna fī ma‘ziliy yā bunayyarkam ma‘anā wa lā takum ma‘al-kāfirīn(a).

    And ˹so˺ the Ark sailed with them through waves like mountains. Noah called out to his son, who stood apart, “O my dear son! Come aboard with us and do not be with the disbelievers.”

43. قَالَ سَاٰوِيْٓ اِلٰى جَبَلٍ يَّعْصِمُنِيْ مِنَ الْمَاۤءِ ۗقَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ اَمْرِ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَ ۚوَحَالَ بَيْنَهُمَا الْمَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُغْرَقِيْنَ

    Qāla sa'āwī ilā jabaliy ya‘ṣimunī minal-mā'(i), qāla lā ‘āṣimal-yauma min amrillāhi illā ma raḥim(a), wa ḥāla bainahumal-mauju fa kāna minal-mugraqīn(a).

    He replied, “I will take refuge on a mountain, which will protect me from the water.” Noah cried, “Today no one is protected from Allah’s decree except those to whom He shows mercy!” And the waves came between them, and his son was among the drowned.

44. وَقِيْلَ يٰٓاَرْضُ ابْلَعِيْ مَاۤءَكِ وَيٰسَمَاۤءُ اَقْلِعِيْ وَغِيْضَ الْمَاۤءُ وَقُضِيَ الْاَمْرُ وَاسْتَوَتْ عَلَى الْجُوْدِيِّ وَقِيْلَ بُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

    Wa qīla yā arḍubla‘ī mā'aki wa yā samā'u aqli‘ī wa gīḍal-mā'u wa quḍiyal-amru wastawat ‘alal-jūdiyyi wa qīla bu‘dal lil-qaumiẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

    And it was said, “O earth! Swallow up your water. And O sky! Withhold ˹your rain˺.” The floodwater receded and the decree was carried out. The Ark rested on Mount Judi, and it was said, “Away with the wrongdoing people!”

45. وَنَادٰى نُوْحٌ رَّبَّهٗ فَقَالَ رَبِّ اِنَّ ابْنِيْ مِنْ اَهْلِيْۚ وَاِنَّ وَعْدَكَ الْحَقُّ وَاَنْتَ اَحْكَمُ الْحٰكِمِيْنَ

    Wa nādā nūḥur rabbahū fa qāla rabbi innabnī min ahlī, wa inna wa‘dakal-ḥaqqu wa anta aḥkamul-ḥākimīn(a).

    Noah called out to his Lord, saying, “My Lord! Certainly my son is ˹also˺ of my family, Your promise is surely true, and You are the most just of all judges!”

46. قَالَ يٰنُوْحُ اِنَّهٗ لَيْسَ مِنْ اَهْلِكَ ۚاِنَّهٗ عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ صَالِحٍ فَلَا تَسْـَٔلْنِ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ ۗاِنِّيْٓ اَعِظُكَ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْجٰهِلِيْنَ

    Qāla yā nūḥu innahū laisa min ahlik(a), innahū ‘amalun gairu ṣāliḥ(in), falā tas'alnī mā laisa laka bihī ‘ilm(un), innī a‘iẓuka an takūna minal-jāhilīn(a).

    Allah replied, “O Noah! He is certainly not of your family—he was entirely of unrighteous conduct. So do not ask Me about what you have no knowledge of! I warn you so you do not fall into ignorance.”

47. قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْٓ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ اَنْ اَسْـَٔلَكَ مَا لَيْسَ لِيْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ ۗوَاِلَّا تَغْفِرْ لِيْ وَتَرْحَمْنِيْٓ اَكُنْ مِّنَ الْخٰسِرِيْنَ

    Qāla rabbi innī a‘ūżu bika an as'alaka mā laisa lī bihī ‘ilm(un), wa illā tagfir lī wa tarḥamnī akum minal-khāsirīn(a).

    Noah pleaded, “My Lord, I seek refuge in You from asking You about what I have no knowledge of, and unless You forgive me and have mercy on me, I will be one of the losers.”

48. قِيْلَ يٰنُوْحُ اهْبِطْ بِسَلٰمٍ مِّنَّا وَبَرَكٰتٍ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلٰٓى اُمَمٍ مِّمَّنْ مَّعَكَ ۗوَاُمَمٌ سَنُمَتِّعُهُمْ ثُمَّ يَمَسُّهُمْ مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ

    Qīla yā nūḥuhbiṭ bisalāmim minnā wa barakātin ‘alaika wa ‘alā umamim mimmam ma‘ak(a), wa umamun sanumatti‘uhum ṡumma yamassuhum minnā ‘ażābun alīm(un).

    It was said, “O Noah! Disembark with Our peace and blessings on you and some of the descendants of those with you. As for the others, We will allow them ˹a brief˺ enjoyment, then they will be touched with a painful punishment from Us.”

49. تِلْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَاۤءِ الْغَيْبِ نُوْحِيْهَآ اِلَيْكَ ۚمَا كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُهَآ اَنْتَ وَلَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ هٰذَاۚ فَاصْبِرْۚ اِنَّ الْعَاقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَ ࣖ

    Tilka min ambā'il-gaibi nūḥīhā ilaik(a), mā kunta ta‘lamuhā anta wa lā qaumuka min qabli hāżā, faṣbir, innal-‘āqibata lil-muttaqīn(a).

    This is one of the stories of the unseen, which we reveal to you ˹O Prophet˺. Neither you nor your people knew it before this. So be patient! Surely the ultimate outcome belongs ˹only˺ to the righteous.

50. وَاِلٰى عَادٍ اَخَاهُمْ هُوْدًا ۗقَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗ ۗاِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا مُفْتَرُوْنَ

    Wa ilā ‘ādin akhāhum hūdā(n), qāla yā qaumi‘budullāha mā lakum min ilāhin gairuh(ū), in antum illā muftarūn(a).

    And to the people of ’Âd We sent their brother Hûd. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah. You have no god other than Him. You do nothing but fabricate lies ˹against Allah˺.

51. يٰقَوْمِ لَآ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ اَجْرًا ۗاِنْ اَجْرِيَ اِلَّا عَلَى الَّذِيْ فَطَرَنِيْ ۗ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ

    Yā qaumi lā as'alukum ‘alaihi ajrā(n), in ajriya illā ‘alal-lażī faṭaranī, afalā ta‘qilūn(a).

    O my people! I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the One Who created me. Will you not then understand?

52. وَيٰقَوْمِ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْٓا اِلَيْهِ يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاۤءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّدْرَارًا وَّيَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّةً اِلٰى قُوَّتِكُمْ وَلَا تَتَوَلَّوْا مُجْرِمِيْنَ

    Wa yā qaumistagfirū rabbakum ṡumma tūbū ilaihi yursilis-samā'a ‘alaikum midrāraw wa yazidkum quwwatan ilā quwwatikum wa lā tatawallau mujrimīn(a).

    And O my people! Seek your Lord’s forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. He will shower you with rain in abundance, and add strength to your strength. So do not turn away, persisting in wickedness.”

53. قَالُوْا يٰهُوْدُ مَاجِئْتَنَا بِبَيِّنَةٍ وَّمَا نَحْنُ بِتَارِكِيْٓ اٰلِهَتِنَا عَنْ قَوْلِكَ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

    Qālū yā hūdu mā ji'tanā bibayyinatiw wa mā naḥnu bitārikī ālihatinā ‘an qaulika wa mā naḥnu laka bimu'minīn(a).

    They argued, “O Hûd! You have not given us any clear proof, and we will never abandon our gods upon your word, nor will we believe in you.

54. اِنْ نَّقُوْلُ اِلَّا اعْتَرٰىكَ بَعْضُ اٰلِهَتِنَا بِسُوْۤءٍ ۗقَالَ اِنِّيْٓ اُشْهِدُ اللّٰهَ وَاشْهَدُوْٓا اَنِّيْ بَرِيْۤءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُوْنَ

    In naqūlu illa‘tarāka ba‘ḍu ālihatinā bisū'(in), qāla innī usyhidullāha wasyhadū annī barī'um mimmā tusyrikūn(a).

    All we can say is that some of our gods have possessed you with evil.” He said, “I call Allah to witness, and you too bear witness, that I ˹totally˺ reject whatever you associate

55. مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ فَكِيْدُوْنِيْ جَمِيْعًا ثُمَّ لَا تُنْظِرُوْنِ

    Min dūnihī fa kīdūnī jamī‘an ṡumma lā tunẓirūn(i).

    with Him ˹in worship˺. So let all of you plot against me without delay!

56. اِنِّيْ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللّٰهِ رَبِّيْ وَرَبِّكُمْ ۗمَا مِنْ دَاۤبَّةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ اٰخِذٌۢ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا ۗاِنَّ رَبِّيْ عَلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ

    Innī tawakkaltu ‘alallāhi rabbī wa rabbikum, mā min dābbatin illā huwa ākhiżum bināṣiyatihā, inna rabbī ‘alā ṣirāṭim mustaqīm(in).

    I have put my trust in Allah—my Lord and your Lord. There is no living creature that is not completely under His control. Surely my Lord’s Way is perfect justice.

57. فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقَدْ اَبْلَغْتُكُمْ مَّآ اُرْسِلْتُ بِهٖٓ اِلَيْكُمْ ۗوَيَسْتَخْلِفُ رَبِّيْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْۗ وَلَا تَضُرُّوْنَهٗ شَيْـًٔا ۗاِنَّ رَبِّيْ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَفِيْظٌ

    Fa in tawallau faqad ablagtukum mā ursiltu bihī ilaikum, wa yastakhlifu rabbī qauman gairakum, wa lā taḍurrūnahū syai'ā(n), inna rabbī ‘alā kulli syai'in ḥafīẓ(un).

    But if you turn away, I have already delivered to you what I have been sent with. My Lord will replace you with others. You are not harming Him in the least. Indeed, my Lord is a ˹vigilant˺ Keeper over all things.”

58. وَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا هُوْدًا وَّالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّاۚ وَنَجَّيْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِيْظٍ

    Wa lammā jā'a amrunā najjainā hūdaw wal-lażīna āmanū ma‘ahū biraḥmatim minnā, wa najjaināhum min ‘ażābin galīẓ(in).

    When Our command came, We rescued Hûd and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us, saving them from a harsh torment.

59. وَتِلْكَ عَادٌ ۖجَحَدُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَصَوْا رُسُلَهٗ وَاتَّبَعُوْٓا اَمْرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيْدٍ

    Wa tilka ‘ādun jaḥadū bi'āyāti rabbihim wa ‘aṣau rusulahū wattaba‘ū amra kulli jabbārin ‘anīd(in).

    That was ’Âd. They denied the signs of their Lord, disobeyed His messenger, and followed the command of every stubborn tyrant.

60. وَاُتْبِعُوْا فِيْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا لَعْنَةً وَّيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ ۗ اَلَآ اِنَّ عَادًا كَفَرُوْا رَبَّهُمْ ۗ اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّعَادٍ قَوْمِ هُوْدٍ ࣖ

    Wa utbi‘ū fī hażihid-dun-yā la‘nataw wa yaumal-qiyāmah(ti), alā inna ‘ādan kafarū rabbahum, alā bu‘dal li‘ādin qaumi hūd(in).

    They were followed by a curse in this world, as they will be on the Day of Judgment. Surely ’Âd denied their Lord. So away with ’Âd, the people of Hûd.

61. ۞ وَاِلٰى ثَمُوْدَ اَخَاهُمْ صٰلِحًا ۘ قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗ ۗهُوَ اَنْشَاَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ وَاسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِيْهَا فَاسْتَغْفِرُوْهُ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْٓا اِلَيْهِ ۗاِنَّ رَبِّيْ قَرِيْبٌ مُّجِيْبٌ

    Wa ilā ṡamūda akhāhum ṣālihā(n), qāla yā qaumi‘budullāḥa mā lakum min ilāhin gairuh(ū), huwa ansya'akum minal-arḍi wasta‘marakum fīhā fastagfirūhu ṡumma tūbū ilaih(i), inna rabbī qarībum mujīb(un).

    And to the people of Thamûd We sent their brother Ṣâliḥ. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah. You have no god other than Him. He ˹is the One Who˺ produced you from the earth and settled you on it. So seek His forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. Surely my Lord is Ever Near, All-Responsive ˹to prayers˺.”

62. قَالُوْا يٰصٰلِحُ قَدْ كُنْتَ فِيْنَا مَرْجُوًّا قَبْلَ هٰذَآ اَتَنْهٰىنَآ اَنْ نَّعْبُدَ مَا يَعْبُدُ اٰبَاۤؤُنَا وَاِنَّنَا لَفِيْ شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدْعُوْنَآ اِلَيْهِ مُرِيْبٍ

    They argued, “O Ṣâliḥ! We truly had high hopes in you before this. How dare you forbid us to worship what our forefathers had worshipped? We are certainly in alarming doubt about what you are inviting us to.”

63. قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّيْۗ وَاٰتٰىنِيْ مِنْهُ رَحْمَةً فَمَنْ يَّنْصُرُنِيْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنْ عَصَيْتُهٗ ۗفَمَا تَزِيْدُوْنَنِيْ غَيْرَ تَخْسِيْرٍ

    Qāla yā qaumi ara'aitum in kuntu ‘alā bayyinatim mir rabbī, wa ātānī minhu raḥmatan famay yanṣurunī minallāhi in ‘aṣaituh(ū), famā tazīdūnanī gaira takhsīr(in).

    He responded, “O my people! Consider if I stand on a clear proof from my Lord and He has blessed me with a mercy from Him. Who could help me against Allah if I were to disobey Him? You would only contribute to my doom.

64. وَيٰقَوْمِ هٰذِهٖ نَاقَةُ اللّٰهِ لَكُمْ اٰيَةً فَذَرُوْهَا تَأْكُلْ فِيْٓ اَرْضِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا تَمَسُّوْهَا بِسُوْۤءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ قَرِيْبٌ

    Wa yā qaumi hāżihī nāqatullāhi lakum āyatan fa żarūhā ta'kul fī arḍillāhi wa lā tamassūhā bisū'in fa ya'khużakum ‘ażābun qarīb(un).

    And O my people! This she-camel of Allah is a sign for you. So leave her to graze ˹freely˺ on Allah’s earth and do her no harm, or a swift punishment will overtake you!”

65. فَعَقَرُوْهَا فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعُوْا فِيْ دَارِكُمْ ثَلٰثَةَ اَيَّامٍ ۗذٰلِكَ وَعْدٌ غَيْرُ مَكْذُوْبٍ

    Fa ‘aqarūhā fa qāla tamatta‘ū fī dārikum ṡalāṡata ayyām(in), żālika wa‘dun gairu makżūb(in).

    But they killed her, so he warned ˹them˺, “You have ˹only˺ three ˹more˺ days to enjoy life in your homes—this is an unfailing promise!”

66. فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا صٰلِحًا وَّالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَمِنْ خِزْيِ يَوْمِىِٕذٍ ۗاِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْقَوِيُّ الْعَزِيْزُ

    Falammā jā'a amrunā najjainā ṣāliḥaw wal-lażīna āmanū ma‘ahū biraḥmatim minnā wa min khizyi yaumi'iż(in), inna rabbaka huwal-qawiyyul-‘ażīz(u).

    When Our command came, We saved Ṣâliḥ and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us and spared them the disgrace of that Day. Surely your Lord ˹alone˺ is the All-Powerful, Almighty.

67. وَاَخَذَ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّيْحَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِيْ دِيَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِيْنَۙ

    Wa akhażal-lażīna ẓalamuṣ-ṣaiḥatu fa aṣbaḥū fī dārihim jāṡimīn(a).

    And the ˹mighty˺ blast overtook the wrongdoers, so they fell lifeless in their homes,

68. كَاَنْ لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيْهَا ۗ اَلَآ اِنَّ ثَمُوْدَا۟ كَفَرُوْا رَبَّهُمْ ۗ اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّثَمُوْدَ ࣖ

    Ka allam yagnau fīhā, alā inna ṡamūda kafarū rabbahum, alā bu‘dal liṡamūd(a).

    as if they had never lived there. Surely Thamûd denied their Lord, so away with Thamûd!

69. وَلَقَدْ جَاۤءَتْ رُسُلُنَآ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ بِالْبُشْرٰى قَالُوْا سَلٰمًا ۖقَالَ سَلٰمٌ فَمَا لَبِثَ اَنْ جَاۤءَ بِعِجْلٍ حَنِيْذٍ

    Wa laqad jā'at rusulunā ibrāhīma bil-busyrā qālū salāmā(n), qāla salāmun famā labiṡa an jā'a bi‘ijlin ḥanīż(in).

    And surely Our messenger-angels came to Abraham with good news ˹of a son˺. They greeted ˹him with˺, “Peace!” And he replied, “Peace ˹be upon you˺!” Then it was not long before he brought ˹them˺ a ˹fat,˺ roasted calf.

70. فَلَمَّا رَآٰ اَيْدِيَهُمْ لَا تَصِلُ اِلَيْهِ نَكِرَهُمْ وَاَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيْفَةً ۗقَالُوْا لَا تَخَفْ اِنَّآ اُرْسِلْنَآ اِلٰى قَوْمِ لُوْطٍۗ

    Falammā ra'ā aidiyahum lā taṣilu ilaihi nakirahum wa aujasa minhum khīfah(tan), qālū lā takhaf innā ursilnā ilā qaumi lūṭ(in).

    And when he saw that their hands did not reach for the food, he became suspicious and fearful of them. They reassured ˹him˺, “Do not be afraid! We are ˹angels˺ sent ˹only˺ against the people of Lot.”

71. وَامْرَاَتُهٗ قَاۤىِٕمَةٌ فَضَحِكَتْ فَبَشَّرْنٰهَا بِاِسْحٰقَۙ وَمِنْ وَّرَاۤءِ اِسْحٰقَ يَعْقُوْبَ

    Wamra'atuhū qā'imatun fa ḍaḥikat fa basysyarnāhā bi'isḥāq(a), wa miw warā'i isḥāqa ya‘qūb(a).

    And his wife was standing by, so she laughed, then We gave her good news of ˹the birth of˺ Isaac, and, after him, Jacob.

72. قَالَتْ يٰوَيْلَتٰىٓ ءَاَلِدُ وَاَنَا۠ عَجُوْزٌ وَّهٰذَا بَعْلِيْ شَيْخًا ۗاِنَّ هٰذَا لَشَيْءٌ عَجِيْبٌ

    Qālat yā wailatā a'alidu wa ana ‘ajūzuw wa hāżā ba‘lī syaikhā(n), inna hāżā lasyai'un ‘ajīb(un).

    She wondered, “Oh, my! How can I have a child in this old age, and my husband here is an old man? This is truly an astonishing thing!”

73. قَالُوْٓا اَتَعْجَبِيْنَ مِنْ اَمْرِ اللّٰهِ رَحْمَتُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكٰتُهٗ عَلَيْكُمْ اَهْلَ الْبَيْتِۗ اِنَّهٗ حَمِيْدٌ مَّجِيْدٌ

    Qālū ata‘jabīna min amrillāhi raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh(ū), ‘alaikum ahlal-bait(i), innahū ḥamīdum majīd(un).

    They responded, “Are you astonished by Allah’s decree? May Allah’s mercy and blessings be upon you, O people of this house. Indeed, He is Praiseworthy, All-Glorious.”

74. فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنْ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ الرَّوْعُ وَجَاۤءَتْهُ الْبُشْرٰى يُجَادِلُنَا فِيْ قَوْمِ لُوْطٍ

    Falammā żahaba ‘an ibrāhīmar rau‘u wa jā'athul busyrā yujādilunā fī qaumi lūṭ(in).

    Then after the fear had left Abraham, and the good news had reached him, he began to plead with Us for the people of Lot.

75. اِنَّ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ لَحَلِيْمٌ اَوَّاهٌ مُّنِيْبٌ

    Inna ibrāhīma laḥalīmun awwāhum munīb(un).

    Truly, Abraham was forbearing, tender-hearted, and ever turning ˹to his Lord˺.

76. يٰٓاِبْرٰهِيْمُ اَعْرِضْ عَنْ هٰذَا ۚاِنَّهٗ قَدْ جَاۤءَ اَمْرُ رَبِّكَۚ وَاِنَّهُمْ اٰتِيْهِمْ عَذَابٌ غَيْرُ مَرْدُوْدٍ

    Yā ibrāhīmu a‘riḍ ‘an hāżā, innahū qad jā'a amru rabbik(a), wa innahum ātīhim ‘ażābun gairu mardūd(in).

    ˹The angels said,˺ “O Abraham! Plead no more! Your Lord’s decree has already come, and they will certainly be afflicted with a punishment that cannot be averted!”

77. وَلَمَّا جَاۤءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوْطًا سِيْۤءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَّقَالَ هٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَصِيْبٌ

    Wa lammā jā'at rusulunā lūṭan sī'a bihim wa ḍāqa bihim żar‘aw wa qāla hāżā yaumun ‘aṣīb(un).

    When Our messenger-angels came to Lot, he was distressed and worried by their arrival. He said, “This is a terrible day.”

78. وَجَاۤءَهٗ قَوْمُهٗ يُهْرَعُوْنَ اِلَيْهِۗ وَمِنْ قَبْلُ كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ السَّيِّاٰتِۗ قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ بَنَاتِيْ هُنَّ اَطْهَرُ لَكُمْ فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَلَا تُخْزُوْنِ فِيْ ضَيْفِيْۗ اَلَيْسَ مِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَّشِيْدٌ

    Wa jā'ahū qaumuhū yuhra‘ūna ilaih(i), wa min qablu kānū ya‘malūnas-sayyi'āt(i), qāla yā qaumi hā'ulā'i banātī hunna aṭharu lakum fattaqullāha wa lā tukhzūni fī ḍaifī, alaisa minkum rajulur rasyīd(un).

    And ˹the men of˺ his people—who were used to shameful deeds—came to him rushing. He pleaded, “O my people! Here are my daughters ˹for marriage˺—they are pure for you. So fear Allah, and do not humiliate me by disrespecting my guests. Is there not ˹even˺ a single right-minded man among you?”

79. قَالُوْا لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا لَنَا فِيْ بَنٰتِكَ مِنْ حَقٍّۚ وَاِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ مَا نُرِيْدُ

    Qālū laqad ‘alimta mā lanā fī banātika min ḥaqq(in), wa innaka lata‘lamu mā nurīd(u).

    They argued, “You certainly know that we have no need for your daughters. You already know what we desire!”

80. قَالَ لَوْ اَنَّ لِيْ بِكُمْ قُوَّةً اَوْ اٰوِيْٓ اِلٰى رُكْنٍ شَدِيْدٍ

    Qāla lau anna lī bikum quwwatan au āwī ilā ruknin syadīd(in).

    He responded, “If only I had the strength ˹to resist you˺ or could rely on a strong supporter.”

81. قَالُوْا يٰلُوْطُ اِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَنْ يَّصِلُوْٓا اِلَيْكَ فَاَسْرِ بِاَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ الَّيْلِ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنْكُمْ اَحَدٌ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَكَۗ اِنَّهٗ مُصِيْبُهَا مَآ اَصَابَهُمْ ۗاِنَّ مَوْعِدَهُمُ الصُّبْحُ ۗ اَلَيْسَ الصُّبْحُ بِقَرِيْبٍ

    Qālū yā lūṭu innā rusulu rabbika lay yaṣilū ilaika fa asri bi'ahlika biqiṭ‘im minal-laili wa lā yaltafit minkum aḥadun illamra'atak(a), innahū muṣībuhā mā aṣābahum, inna mau‘idahumuṣ-ṣubḥ(u), alaisaṣ-ṣubḥu biqarīb(in).

    The angels said, “O Lot! We are the messengers of your Lord. They will never reach you. So travel with your family in the dark of night, and do not let any of you look back, except your wife. She will certainly suffer the fate of the others. Their appointed time is the morning. Is the morning not near?”

82. فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ اَمْرُنَا جَعَلْنَا عَالِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَاَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهَا حِجَارَةً مِّنْ سِجِّيْلٍ مَّنْضُوْدٍ

    Falammā jā'a amrunā ja‘alnā ‘āliyahā sāfilahā wa amṭarnā ‘alaihā ḥijāratam min sijjīlim manḍūd(in).

    When Our command came, We turned the cities upside down and rained down on them clustered stones of baked clay,

83. مُسَوَّمَةً عِنْدَ رَبِّكَۗ وَمَا هِيَ مِنَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ بِبَعِيْدٍ ࣖ

    Musawwamatan ‘inda rabbik(a) wa mā hiya minaẓ-ẓālimīna biba‘īd(in).

    marked by your Lord ˹O Prophet˺. And these stones are not far from the ˹pagan˺ wrongdoers!

84. ۞ وَاِلٰى مَدْيَنَ اَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًا ۗقَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗ ۗوَلَا تَنْقُصُوا الْمِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيْزَانَ اِنِّيْٓ اَرٰىكُمْ بِخَيْرٍ وَّاِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ مُّحِيْطٍ

    Wa ilā madyana akhāhum syu‘aibā(n), qāla yā qaumi‘budullāha mā lakum min ilāhin gairuh(ū), wa lā tanquṣul-mikyāla wal-mīzāna innī arākum bikhairiw wa innī akhāfu ‘alaikum ‘ażāba yaumim muḥīṭ(in).

    And to the people of Midian We sent their brother Shu’aib. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah. You have no god other than Him. And do not give short measure and weight. I do see you in prosperity now, but I truly fear for you the torment of an overwhelming Day.

85. وَيٰقَوْمِ اَوْفُوا الْمِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيْزَانَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ اَشْيَاۤءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِيْنَ

    Wa yā qaumi auful-mikyāla wal-mīzāna bil-qisṭi wa lā tabkhasun-nāsa asy-yā'ahum wa lā ta‘ṡau fil-arḍi mufsidīn(a).

    O my people! Give full measure and weigh with justice. Do not defraud people of their property, nor go about spreading corruption in the land.

86. بَقِيَّتُ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ ەۚ وَمَآ اَنَا۠ عَلَيْكُمْ بِحَفِيْظٍ

    Baqiyyatullāhi khairul lakum in kuntum mu'minīn(a), wa mā ana ‘alaikum biḥafīẓ(in).

    What is left ˹as a lawful gain˺ by Allah is far better for you if you are ˹truly˺ believers. And I am not a keeper over you.”

87. قَالُوْا يٰشُعَيْبُ اَصَلٰوتُكَ تَأْمُرُكَ اَنْ نَّتْرُكَ مَا يَعْبُدُ اٰبَاۤؤُنَآ اَوْ اَنْ نَّفْعَلَ فِيْٓ اَمْوَالِنَا مَا نَشٰۤؤُا ۗاِنَّكَ لَاَنْتَ الْحَلِيْمُ الرَّشِيْدُ

    Qālū yā syu‘aibu aṣalātuka ta'muruka an natruka mā ya‘budu ābā'unā au an naf‘ala fī amwālinā mā nasyā'(u), innaka la'antal-ḥalīmur-rasyīd(u).

    They asked ˹sarcastically˺, “O Shu’aib! Does your prayer command you that we should abandon what our forefathers worshipped or give up managing our wealth as we please? Indeed, you are such a tolerant, sensible man!”

88. قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّيْ وَرَزَقَنِيْ مِنْهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًا وَّمَآ اُرِيْدُ اَنْ اُخَالِفَكُمْ اِلٰى مَآ اَنْهٰىكُمْ عَنْهُ ۗاِنْ اُرِيْدُ اِلَّا الْاِصْلَاحَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُۗ وَمَا تَوْفِيْقِيْٓ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ ۗعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَاِلَيْهِ اُنِيْبُ

    Qāla yā qaumi ara'aitum in kuntu ‘alā bayyinatim mir rabbī wa razaqanī minhu rizqan ḥasanaw wa mā urīdu an ukhālifakum ila mā anhākum ‘anh(u), in urīdu illal-iṣlāḥa mastaṭa‘t(u), wa mā taufīqī illā billāh(i), ‘alaihi tawakkaltu wa ilaihi unīb(u).

    He said, “O my people! Consider if I stand on a clear proof from my Lord and He has blessed me with a good provision from Him. I do not want to do what I am forbidding you from. I only intend reform to the best of my ability. My success comes only through Allah. In Him I trust and to Him I turn.

89. وَيٰقَوْمِ لَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شِقَاقِيْٓ اَنْ يُّصِيْبَكُمْ مِّثْلُ مَآ اَصَابَ قَوْمَ نُوْحٍ اَوْ قَوْمَ هُوْدٍ اَوْ قَوْمَ صٰلِحٍ ۗوَمَا قَوْمُ لُوْطٍ مِّنْكُمْ بِبَعِيْدٍ

    Wa yā qaumi lā yajrimannakum syiqāqī ay yuṣībakum miṡlu mā aṣāba qauma nūḥin au qauma hūdin au qauma ṣāliḥ(in), wa mā qaumu lūṭim minkum biba‘īd(in).

    O my people! Do not let your opposition to me lead you to a fate similar to that of the people of Noah, or Hûd, or Ṣâliḥ. And the people of Lot are not far from you.

90. وَاسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْٓا اِلَيْهِ ۗاِنَّ رَبِّيْ رَحِيْمٌ وَّدُوْدٌ

    Wastagfirū rabbakum ṡumma tūbū ilaih(i), inna rabbī raḥīmuw wadūd(un).

    So seek your Lord’s forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. Surely my Lord is Most Merciful, All-Loving.”

91. قَالُوْا يٰشُعَيْبُ مَا نَفْقَهُ كَثِيْرًا مِّمَّا تَقُوْلُ وَاِنَّا لَنَرٰىكَ فِيْنَا ضَعِيْفًا ۗوَلَوْلَا رَهْطُكَ لَرَجَمْنٰكَ ۖوَمَآ اَنْتَ عَلَيْنَا بِعَزِيْزٍ

    Qālū yā syu‘aibu mā nafqahu kaṡīram mimmā taqūlu wa innā lanarāka fīnā ḍa‘īfā(n), wa lau lā rahṭuka larajamnāk(a), wa anta ‘alainā bi‘azīz(in).

    They threatened, “O Shu’aib! We do not comprehend much of what you say, and surely we see you powerless among us. Were it not for your clan, we would have certainly stoned you, for you are nothing to us.”

92. قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَرَهْطِيْٓ اَعَزُّ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ۗوَاتَّخَذْتُمُوْهُ وَرَاۤءَكُمْ ظِهْرِيًّا ۗاِنَّ رَبِّيْ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ مُحِيْطٌ

    Qāla yā qaumi arahṭī a‘azzu ‘alaikum minallāh(i), wattakhażtumūhu warā'akum ẓihriyyā(n), inna rabbī bimā ta‘malūna muḥīṭ(un).

    He said, “O my people! Do you have more regard for my clan than for Allah, turning your back on Him entirely? Surely my Lord is Fully Aware of what you do.

93. وَيٰقَوْمِ اعْمَلُوْا عَلٰى مَكَانَتِكُمْ اِنِّيْ عَامِلٌ ۗسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَۙ مَنْ يَّأْتِيْهِ عَذَابٌ يُّخْزِيْهِ وَمَنْ هُوَ كَاذِبٌۗ وَارْتَقِبُوْٓا اِنِّيْ مَعَكُمْ رَقِيْبٌ

    Wa yā qaumi‘malū ‘alā makānatikum innī ‘āmil(un), saufa ta‘lamūn(a), may ya'tīhi ‘ażābuy yukhzīhi wa man huwa kāżib(un), wartaqibū innī ma‘akum raqīb(un).

    O my people! Persist in your ways, for I ˹too˺ will persist in mine. You will soon come to know who will be visited by a humiliating torment and is a liar! And watch! I too am watching with you!”

94. وَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا شُعَيْبًا وَّالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّاۚ وَاَخَذَتِ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّيْحَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِيْ دِيَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِيْنَۙ

    Wa lammā jā'a amrunā najjainā syu‘aibaw wal-lażīna amanū ma‘ahū biraḥmatim minnā, wa akhażatil-lażīna ẓalamuṣ-ṣaiḥatu fa aṣbaḥū fī diyārihim jāṡimīn(a).

    When Our command came, We saved Shu’aib and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us. And the ˹mighty˺ blast overtook the wrongdoers, so they fell lifeless in their homes,

95. كَاَنْ لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيْهَا ۗ اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّمَدْيَنَ كَمَا بَعِدَتْ ثَمُوْدُ ࣖ

    Ka allam yagnau fīhā, alā bu‘dal limadyana kamā ba‘idat ṡamūd(u).

    as if they had never lived there. So away with Midian as it was with Thamûd!

96. 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

97. اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَا۟ىِٕهٖ فَاتَّبَعُوْٓا اَمْرَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚوَمَآ اَمْرُ فِرْعَوْنَ بِرَشِيْدٍ

    Ilā fir‘auna wa mala'ihī fattaba‘ū amra fir‘aun(a), wa mā amru fir‘auna birasyīd(in).

    to Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they followed the command of Pharaoh, and Pharaoh’s command was not well guided.

98. يَقْدُمُ قَوْمَهٗ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ فَاَوْرَدَهُمُ النَّارَ ۗوَبِئْسَ الْوِرْدُ الْمَوْرُوْدُ

    Yaqdumu qaumahū yaumal-qiyāmati fa auradahumun-nār(a), wa bi'sal-wirdul-maurūd(u).

    He will be before his people on the Day of Judgment and will lead them into the Fire. What an evil place to be led into!

99. وَاُتْبِعُوْا فِيْ هٰذِهٖ لَعْنَةً وَّيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۗ بِئْسَ الرِّفْدُ الْمَرْفُوْدُ

    Wa utbi‘ū fī hāżihī la‘nataw wa yaumal-qiyāmah(ti), bi'sar-rifdul-marfūd(u).

    They were followed by a curse in this ˹life˺ and ˹will receive another˺ on the Day of Judgment. What an evil gift to receive!

100. ذٰلِكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَاۤءِ الْقُرٰى نَقُصُّهٗ عَلَيْكَ مِنْهَا قَاۤىِٕمٌ وَّحَصِيْدٌ

     Żālika min ambā'il-qurā naquṣṣuhū ‘alaika minhā qā'imuw wa ḥaṣīd(un).

     These are accounts, We relate to you ˹O Prophet˺, of the ˹destroyed˺ cities. Some are still standing ˹barren˺, while others have been mowed down.

101. وَمَا ظَلَمْنٰهُمْ وَلٰكِنْ ظَلَمُوْٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ فَمَآ اَغْنَتْ عَنْهُمْ اٰلِهَتُهُمُ الَّتِيْ يَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ لَّمَّا جَاۤءَ اَمْرُ رَبِّكَۗ وَمَا زَادُوْهُمْ غَيْرَ تَتْبِيْبٍ

     Wa mā ẓalamnāhum wa lākin ẓalamū anfusahum famā agnat ‘anhum ālihatuhumul-latī yad‘ūna min dūnillāhi min syai'il lammā jā'a amru rabbik(a), wa mā zādūhum gaira tatbīb(in).

     We did not wrong them, rather they wronged themselves. The gods they invoked beside Allah were of no help at all when the command of your Lord came, and only contributed to their ruin.

102. وَكَذٰلِكَ اَخْذُ رَبِّكَ اِذَآ اَخَذَ الْقُرٰى وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ ۗاِنَّ اَخْذَهٗٓ اَلِيْمٌ شَدِيْدٌ

     Wa każālika akhżu rabbika iżā akhażal-qurā wa hiya ẓālimah(tun), inna akhżahū alīmun syadīd(un).

     Such is the ˹crushing˺ grip of your Lord when He seizes the societies entrenched in wrongdoing. Indeed, His grip is ˹terribly˺ painful and severe.

103. اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّمَنْ خَافَ عَذَابَ الْاٰخِرَةِ ۗذٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّجْمُوْعٌۙ لَّهُ النَّاسُ وَذٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّشْهُوْدٌ

     Inna fī żālika la'āyatal liman khāfa ‘ażābal-ākhirah(ti), żālika yaumum majmū‘(un), lahun-nāsu wa żālika yaumum masyhūd(un).

     Surely in this is a sign for those who fear the torment of the Hereafter. That is a Day for which humanity will be gathered and a Day ˹that will be˺ witnessed ˹by all˺.

104. وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهٗٓ اِلَّا لِاَجَلٍ مَّعْدُوْدٍۗ

     Wa mā nu'akhkhiruhū illā li'ajalim ma‘dūd(in).

     We only delay it for a fixed term.

105. يَوْمَ يَأْتِ لَا تَكَلَّمُ نَفْسٌ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِهٖۚ فَمِنْهُمْ شَقِيٌّ وَّسَعِيْدٌ

     Yauma ya'ti lā takallamu nafsun illā bi'iżnih(ī), fa minhum syaqiyyuw wa sa‘īd(un).

     When that Day arrives, no one will dare speak except with His permission. Some of them will be miserable, others joyful.

106. فَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ شَقُوْا فَفِى النَّارِ لَهُمْ فِيْهَا زَفِيْرٌ وَّشَهِيْقٌۙ

     Fa ammal-lażīna syaqū fa fin-nāri lahum fīhā zafīruw wa syahīq(un).

     As for the miserable, they will be in the Fire, where they will be sighing and gasping,

107. خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالْاَرْضُ اِلَّا مَا شَاۤءَ رَبُّكَۗ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيْدُ

     Khālidīna fīhā mā dāmatis-samāwātu wal-arḍu illā mā syā'a rabbuk(a), inna rabbaka fa‘‘ālul limā yurīd(u).

     staying there forever, as long as the heavens and the earth will endure, except what your Lord wills. Surely your Lord does what He intends.

108. ۞ وَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ سُعِدُوْا فَفِى الْجَنَّةِ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالْاَرْضُ اِلَّا مَا شَاۤءَ رَبُّكَۗ عَطَاۤءً غَيْرَ مَجْذُوْذٍ

     Wa ammal-lażīna su‘idū fa fil-jannati khālidīna fīhā mā dāmatis-samāwātu wal-arḍu illā mā syā'a rabbuk(a), ‘aṭā'an gaira majżūż(in).

     And as for those destined to joy, they will be in Paradise, staying there forever, as long as the heavens and the earth will endure, except what your Lord wills—a ˹generous˺ giving, without end.

109. فَلَا تَكُ فِيْ مِرْيَةٍ مِّمَّا يَعْبُدُ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ ۗمَا يَعْبُدُوْنَ اِلَّا كَمَا يَعْبُدُ اٰبَاۤؤُهُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُ ۗوَاِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوْهُمْ نَصِيْبَهُمْ غَيْرَ مَنْقُوْصٍ ࣖ

     Falā taku fī miryatim mimmā ya‘budu hā'ulā'(i), mā ya‘budūna illā kamā ya‘budu ābā'uhum min qabl(u), wa innā lamuwaffūhum naṣībahum gaira manqūṣ(in).

     So do not be in doubt ˹O Prophet˺ about what those ˹pagans˺ worship. They worship nothing except what their forefathers worshipped before ˹them˺. And We will certainly give them their share ˹of punishment˺ in full, without any reduction.

110. وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فِيْهِ ۗوَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۗوَاِنَّهُمْ لَفِيْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيْبٍ

     Wa laqad ātainā mūsal-kitāba fakhtulifa fīh(i), wa lau lā kalimatun sabaqat mir rabbika laquḍiya bainahum, wa innahum lafī syakkim minhu murīb(in).

     Indeed, We had given Moses the Scripture, but differences arose regarding it. Had it not been for a prior decree from your Lord, their differences would have been settled ˹at once˺. They are truly in alarming doubt about it.

111. وَاِنَّ كُلًّا لَّمَّا لَيُوَفِّيَنَّهُمْ رَبُّكَ اَعْمَالَهُمْ ۗاِنَّهٗ بِمَا يَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِيْرٌ

     Wa inna kullan lammā layuwaffiyannahum rabbuka a‘mālahum, innahū bimā ya‘malūna khabīr(un).

     And surely your Lord will fully pay all for their deeds. He is certainly All-Aware of what they do.

112. فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَآ اُمِرْتَ وَمَنْ تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلَا تَطْغَوْاۗ اِنَّهٗ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِيْرٌ

     Fastaqim kamā umirta wa man tāba ma‘aka wa lā taṭgau, innahū bimā ta‘malūna baṣīr(un).

     So be steadfast as you are commanded ˹O Prophet˺, along with those who turn ˹in submission to Allah˺ with you. And do not transgress. Surely He is All-Seeing of what you ˹believers˺ do.

113. وَلَا تَرْكَنُوْٓا اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُۙ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْصَرُوْنَ

     Wa lā tarkanū ilal-lażīna ẓalamū fa tamassakumun-nār(u), wa mā lakum min dūnillāhi min auliyā'a ṡumma lā tunṣarūn(a).

     And do not be inclined to the wrongdoers or you will be touched by the Fire. For then you would have no protectors other than Allah, nor would you be helped.

114. وَاَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِّنَ الَّيْلِ ۗاِنَّ الْحَسَنٰتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّاٰتِۗ ذٰلِكَ ذِكْرٰى لِلذّٰكِرِيْنَ

     Wa aqimiṣ-ṣalāta ṭarafayin-nahāri wa zulafam minal-lail(i), innal-ḥasanāti yużhibnas-sayyi'āt(i), żālika żikrā liż-żākirīn(a).

     Establish prayer ˹O Prophet˺ at both ends of the day and in the early part of the night. Surely good deeds wipe out evil deeds. That is a reminder for the mindful.

115. وَاصْبِرْ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُضِيْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ

     Waṣbir fa innallāha lā yaḍī‘u ajral-muḥsinīn(a).

     And be patient! Certainly Allah does not discount the reward of the good-doers.

116. فَلَوْلَا كَانَ مِنَ الْقُرُوْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ اُولُوْا بَقِيَّةٍ يَّنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْفَسَادِ فِى الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا مِّمَّنْ اَنْجَيْنَا مِنْهُمْ ۚوَاتَّبَعَ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مَآ اُتْرِفُوْا فِيْهِ وَكَانُوْا مُجْرِمِيْنَ

     Fa lau lā kāna minal-qurūni min qablikum ulū baqiyyatiy yanhauna ‘anil-fasādi fil-arḍi illā qalīlam mimman anjainā minhum, wattaba‘al-lażīna ẓalamū mā utrifū fīhi wa kānū mujrimīn(a).

     If only there had been among the ˹destroyed˺ peoples before you, ˹O believers,˺ virtuous individuals who forbade corruption in the land—other than the few We had saved ˹from the torment˺. But the wrongdoers ˹only˺ pursued their ˹worldly˺ pleasures, becoming wicked.

117. وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهْلِكَ الْقُرٰى بِظُلْمٍ وَّاَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُوْنَ

     Wa mā kāna rabbuka liyuhlikal-qurā biẓulmiw wa ahluhā muṣliḥūn(a).

     And your Lord ˹O Prophet˺ would never destroy a society unjustly while its people were acting rightly.

118. وَلَوْ شَاۤءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ النَّاسَ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً وَّلَا يَزَالُوْنَ مُخْتَلِفِيْنَۙ

     Wa lau syā'a rabbuka laja‘alan-nāsa ummataw wāḥidataw wa lā yazālūna mukhtalifīn(a).

     Had your Lord so willed, He would have certainly made humanity one single community ˹of believers˺, but they will always ˹choose to˺ differ—

119. اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَ ۗوَلِذٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمْ ۗوَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَاَمْلَـَٔنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ اَجْمَعِيْنَ

     Illā mar raḥima rabbuk(a), wa liżālika khalaqahum, wa tammat kalimatu rabbika la'amla'anna jahannama minal-jinnati wan-nāsi ajma‘īn(a).

     except those shown mercy by your Lord—and so He created them ˹to choose freely˺. And so the Word of your Lord will be fulfilled: “I will surely fill up Hell with jinn and humans all together.”

120. وَكُلًّا نَّقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَاۤءِ الرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهٖ فُؤَادَكَ وَجَاۤءَكَ فِيْ هٰذِهِ الْحَقُّ وَمَوْعِظَةٌ وَّذِكْرٰى لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

     Wa kullan naquṣṣu ‘alaika min ambā'ir-rusuli mā nuṡabbitu bihī fu'ādaka wa jā'aka fī hāżihil-ḥaqqu wa mau‘iẓatuw wa żikrā lil-mu'minīn(a).

     And We relate to you ˹O Prophet˺ the stories of the messengers to reassure your heart. And there has come to you in this ˹sûrah˺ the truth, a warning ˹to the disbelievers˺, and a reminder to the believers.

121. وَقُلْ لِّلَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ اعْمَلُوْا عَلٰى مَكَانَتِكُمْۗ اِنَّا عٰمِلُوْنَۙ

     Wa qul lil-lażīna lā yu'minūna‘malū ‘alā makānatikum, innā ‘āmilūn(a).

     Say to those who disbelieve, “Persist in your ways; we will certainly persist in ours.

122. وَانْتَظِرُوْاۚ اِنَّا مُنْتَظِرُوْنَ

     Wantaẓirū innā muntaẓirūn(a).

     And wait! Surely we ˹too˺ are waiting.”

123. وَلِلّٰهِ غَيْبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَاِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُ الْاَمْرُ كُلُّهٗ فَاعْبُدْهُ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَيْهِۗ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ࣖ

     Wa lillāhi gaibus-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa ilaihi yurja‘ul-amru kulluhū fa‘budhu wa tawakkal ‘alaih(i), wa mā rabbuka bigāfilin ‘ammā ta‘malūn(a).

     To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs the knowledge of what is hidden in the heavens and the earth. And to Him all matters are returned. So worship Him and put your trust in Him. And your Lord is never unaware of what you do.
