Sura 15: AL-HIJR (AL-HIJR) - Juz' 14 - Translation Shakir

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
الر تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ وَقُرْآنٍ مُبِينٍ ﴿۱﴾
Alif Lam Ra. These are the verses of the Book and (of) a Quran that makes (things) clear (1)
رُبَمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ ﴿۲﴾
Often will those who disbelieve wish that they had been Muslims (2)
ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا وَيَتَمَتَّعُوا وَيُلْهِهِمُ الْأَمَلُ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۳﴾
Leave them that they may eat and enjoy themselves and (that) hope may beguile them, for they will soon know (3)
وَمَا أَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَعْلُومٌ ﴿۴﴾
And never did We destroy a town but it had a term made known (4)
مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ ﴿۵﴾
No people can hasten on their doom nor can they postpone (it) (5)
وَقَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِي نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ ﴿۶﴾
And they say: O you to whom the Reminder has been revealed! you are most surely insane: (6)
لَوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِالْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ ﴿۷﴾
Why do you not bring to us the angels if you are of the truthful ones? (7)
مَا نُنَزِّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوا إِذًا مُنْظَرِينَ ﴿۸﴾
We do not send the angels but with truth, and then they would not be respited (8)
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ ﴿۹﴾
Surely We have revealed the Reminder and We will most surely be its guardian (9)
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فِي شِيَعِ الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿۱۰﴾
And certainly We sent (messengers) before you among the nations of yore (10)
