Juz' 29 - Translation Qarib

Sura 67: AL-MULK (THE SOVEREIGNTY)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿۱﴾
Blessed be He in whose Hand is the Kingdom, He is powerful over all things, (1)
الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفُورُ ﴿۲﴾
who created death and life that He might examine which of you is best in deeds, and He is the Almighty, the Forgiving, (2)
الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا مَا تَرَى فِي خَلْقِ الرَّحْمَنِ مِنْ تَفَاوُتٍ فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَى مِنْ فُطُورٍ ﴿۳﴾
who created the seven heavens, one above the other. You cannot see any inconsistency in the creation of the Merciful. Return your gaze, do you see any crack! (3)
ثُمَّ ارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنْقَلِبْ إِلَيْكَ الْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًا وَهُوَ حَسِيرٌ ﴿۴﴾
Then return your gaze once more and yet again, your gaze comes back to you dazzled, and tired. (4)
وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَصَابِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَاهَا رُجُومًا لِلشَّيَاطِينِ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ السَّعِيرِ ﴿۵﴾
We have adorned the lower heaven with lamps, and We made them a stoning for the satans, We have prepared the punishment of the Blaze for them. (5)
وَلِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ ﴿۶﴾
And for those who disbelieve in their Lord there awaits the punishment of Gehenna (Hell) an evil arrival! (6)
إِذَا أُلْقُوا فِيهَا سَمِعُوا لَهَا شَهِيقًا وَهِيَ تَفُورُ ﴿۷﴾
When they are cast into it they shall hear it sighing, while it boils (7)
تَكَادُ تَمَيَّزُ مِنَ الْغَيْظِ كُلَّمَا أُلْقِيَ فِيهَا فَوْجٌ سَأَلَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَا أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَذِيرٌ ﴿۸﴾
nearly bursting apart out of rage. Every time a host is cast therein, its keepers will ask them: 'Did no one come to warn you? ' (8)
قَالُوا بَلَى قَدْ جَاءَنَا نَذِيرٌ فَكَذَّبْنَا وَقُلْنَا مَا نَزَّلَ اللَّهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِنْ أَنْتُمْ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ كَبِيرٍ ﴿۹﴾
'Yes, indeed' they will reply, 'but we belied the Warner (Messenger) saying: 'Allah has not sent down anything, you are but in great error! ' (9)
وَقَالُوا لَوْ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ أَوْ نَعْقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِي أَصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ ﴿۱۰﴾
And they will then say: 'If only we had listened and understood we should not now be among the inhabitants of the Blaze. ' (10)
فَاعْتَرَفُوا بِذَنْبِهِمْ فَسُحْقًا لِأَصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ ﴿۱۱﴾
So it is that they confess their sins. Curse the inhabitants of the Blaze! (11)
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ ﴿۱۲﴾
But those who fear their Lord in the Unseen, for them there is forgiveness and a great wage. (12)
وَأَسِرُّوا قَوْلَكُمْ أَوِ اجْهَرُوا بِهِ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ ﴿۱۳﴾
(Whether you) speak in secret or aloud, He knows the innermost of the chests. (13)
أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ ﴿۱۴﴾
Shall He who has created (all things) not know? He is the Subtle, the Aware. (14)
هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ ذَلُولًا فَامْشُوا فِي مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُوا مِنْ رِزْقِهِ وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ ﴿۱۵﴾
It is He who has made the earth submissive to you. Walk about in its land and eat of His provision. To Him is the Resurrection. (15)
أَأَمِنْتُمْ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ أَنْ يَخْسِفَ بِكُمُ الْأَرْضَ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَمُورُ ﴿۱۶﴾
Do you feel secure that He who is in the heaven will not cause the earth to swallow you up while it shakes? (16)
أَمْ أَمِنْتُمْ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ أَنْ يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ كَيْفَ نَذِيرِ ﴿۱۷﴾
Do you feel secure that He who is in the heaven will not loose against you a squall of pebbles then you shall know how was My warning. (17)
وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ ﴿۱۸﴾
Those who have gone before you also belied (their Messengers) then how was My disapproval! (18)
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الطَّيْرِ فَوْقَهُمْ صَافَّاتٍ وَيَقْبِضْنَ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا الرَّحْمَنُ إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ بَصِيرٌ ﴿۱۹﴾
Do they not observe the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them? None, except the Merciful holds them. Surely, He sees all things. (19)
أَمَّنْ هَذَا الَّذِي هُوَ جُنْدٌ لَكُمْ يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنِ الْكَافِرُونَ إِلَّا فِي غُرُورٍ ﴿۲۰﴾
Or, who is it that shall be your host to help you, other than the Merciful? Indeed, the unbelievers are only deluded. (20)
أَمَّنْ هَذَا الَّذِي يَرْزُقُكُمْ إِنْ أَمْسَكَ رِزْقَهُ بَلْ لَجُّوا فِي عُتُوٍّ وَنُفُورٍ ﴿۲۱﴾
Or, who is it that shall provide for you if He withholds His provision? Yet they persist in arrogance and aversion. (21)
أَفَمَنْ يَمْشِي مُكِبًّا عَلَى وَجْهِهِ أَهْدَى أَمَّنْ يَمْشِي سَوِيًّا عَلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ ﴿۲۲﴾
What, is he who walks, falling upon his face, more guided than he who walks upright on a Straight Path! (22)
قُلْ هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَكُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ قَلِيلًا مَا تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿۲۳﴾
Say: 'It is He who has created you and given to you hearing, sight and hearts but little is it that you thank' (23)
قُلْ هُوَ الَّذِي ذَرَأَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ ﴿۲۴﴾
Say: 'It was He who created you, dispersing you in the earth, and to Him you shall be gathered. ' (24)
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَى هَذَا الْوَعْدُ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ﴿۲۵﴾
They ask: 'When will this promise come, if you speak truthfully? ' (25)
قُلْ إِنَّمَا الْعِلْمُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَا أَنَا نَذِيرٌ مُبِينٌ ﴿۲۶﴾
Say: 'The knowledge (of that) is with Allah; I am only a clear warner. ' (26)
فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ زُلْفَةً سِيئَتْ وُجُوهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَقِيلَ هَذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تَدَّعُونَ ﴿۲۷﴾
Then, when they see it drawing near, the faces of the unbelievers will be blackened, and it is said: 'This is what you were promised. ' (27)
قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَهْلَكَنِيَ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ مَعِيَ أَوْ رَحِمَنَا فَمَنْ يُجِيرُ الْكَافِرِينَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ﴿۲۸﴾
Say: 'What do you think, if Allah destroys me and those with me, or has mercy upon us, who then will protect the unbelievers from the painful punishment? ' (28)
قُلْ هُوَ الرَّحْمَنُ آمَنَّا بِهِ وَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ ﴿۲۹﴾
Say: 'He is the Merciful. In Him we believe and in Him we put all our trust. Indeed, you shall soon know who is in clear error. ' (29)
قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَصْبَحَ مَاؤُكُمْ غَوْرًا فَمَنْ يَأْتِيكُمْ بِمَاءٍ مَعِينٍ ﴿۳۰﴾
Say: 'What do you think. If your water should sink into the earth in the morning, who then would bring you running water? ' (30)
Sura 68: AL-QALAM (THE PEN)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
ن وَالْقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسْطُرُونَ ﴿۱﴾
Noon. By the Pen and that (the angels) write, (1)
مَا أَنْتَ بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجْنُونٍ ﴿۲﴾
you are not, because of the favor of your Lord, mad. (2)
وَإِنَّ لَكَ لَأَجْرًا غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍ ﴿۳﴾
Indeed, there is an unfailing wage for you. (3)
وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَى خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ ﴿۴﴾
Surely, you (Prophet Muhammad) are of a great morality. (4)
فَسَتُبْصِرُ وَيُبْصِرُونَ ﴿۵﴾
You shall see and they will see (5)
بِأَيْيِكُمُ الْمَفْتُونُ ﴿۶﴾
which of you is the demented. (6)
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ ضَلَّ عَنْ سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ ﴿۷﴾
Indeed, your Lord knows very well those who strayed from His Path, and those who are guided. (7)
فَلَا تُطِعِ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿۸﴾
Therefore, do not obey those who belie, (8)
وَدُّوا لَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ ﴿۹﴾
they wish you would compromise, then, they would compromise. (9)
وَلَا تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلَّافٍ مَهِينٍ ﴿۱۰﴾
And do not obey every mean swearer, (10)
هَمَّازٍ مَشَّاءٍ بِنَمِيمٍ ﴿۱۱﴾
the backbiter who goes about slandering, (11)
مَنَّاعٍ لِلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ ﴿۱۲﴾
those who hinder good, the guilty aggressor, (12)
عُتُلٍّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ زَنِيمٍ ﴿۱۳﴾
the crude of low character (13)
أَنْ كَانَ ذَا مَالٍ وَبَنِينَ ﴿۱۴﴾
because he has wealth and sons. (14)
إِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿۱۵﴾
When Our verses are recited to him, he says: 'They are but fairytales of the ancients! ' (15)
سَنَسِمُهُ عَلَى الْخُرْطُومِ ﴿۱۶﴾
We shall mark him upon his nose! (16)
إِنَّا بَلَوْنَاهُمْ كَمَا بَلَوْنَا أَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِ إِذْ أَقْسَمُوا لَيَصْرِمُنَّهَا مُصْبِحِينَ ﴿۱۷﴾
We have tried them as We tried the owners of the garden who had sworn that in the morning they would reap it, (17)
وَلَا يَسْتَثْنُونَ ﴿۱۸﴾
without adding to their swearing, (Allah willing, InshaAllah). (18)
فَطَافَ عَلَيْهَا طَائِفٌ مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَهُمْ نَائِمُونَ ﴿۱۹﴾
Then, a visitation from your Lord came down upon it while they slept, (19)
فَأَصْبَحَتْ كَالصَّرِيمِ ﴿۲۰﴾
and in the morning it was if the garden had been reaped. (20)
فَتَنَادَوْا مُصْبِحِينَ ﴿۲۱﴾
(Then) in the morning they called out to one another, saying: (21)
أَنِ اغْدُوا عَلَى حَرْثِكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَارِمِينَ ﴿۲۲﴾
'Come out to your tillage if you want to reap! ' (22)
فَانْطَلَقُوا وَهُمْ يَتَخَافَتُونَ ﴿۲۳﴾
And so they departed, whispering to one another: (23)
أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَنَّهَا الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِسْكِينٌ ﴿۲۴﴾
'No needy person shall set foot in it today. ' (24)
وَغَدَوْا عَلَى حَرْدٍ قَادِرِينَ ﴿۲۵﴾
And they went out early, determined in their resolve. (25)
فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهَا قَالُوا إِنَّا لَضَالُّونَ ﴿۲۶﴾
But when they saw it they said: 'We have surely gone astray. (26)
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ ﴿۲۷﴾
No, rather, we have been prevented! ' (27)
قَالَ أَوْسَطُهُمْ أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكُمْ لَوْلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ ﴿۲۸﴾
(Whereupon) the best among them said: 'Did I not say to you to exalt (Allah)? ' (28)
قَالُوا سُبْحَانَ رَبِّنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ ﴿۲۹﴾
'Exaltations to Allah, our Lord, ' they said, 'We were truly harmdoers. ' (29)
فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ يَتَلَاوَمُونَ ﴿۳۰﴾
And they came blaming one another. (30)
قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا طَاغِينَ ﴿۳۱﴾
They said 'Woe to us, truly we were insolent! ' (31)
عَسَى رَبُّنَا أَنْ يُبْدِلَنَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا رَاغِبُونَ ﴿۳۲﴾
It may be that our Lord will give us better than it in exchange. To our Lord we humbly turn. ' (32)
كَذَلِكَ الْعَذَابُ وَلَعَذَابُ الْآخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۳۳﴾
Such was their punishment. But the punishment of the Everlasting Life is much greater, if they but knew. (33)
إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ ﴿۳۴﴾
Surely, the cautious shall have Gardens of Bliss with their Lord. (34)
أَفَنَجْعَلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَالْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿۳۵﴾
What, shall We make those who are submissive like the wrongdoers? (35)
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ﴿۳۶﴾
What is the matter with you then, how do you judge? (36)
أَمْ لَكُمْ كِتَابٌ فِيهِ تَدْرُسُونَ ﴿۳۷﴾
Or, have you a Book from which you study (37)
إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِيهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ ﴿۳۸﴾
surely in it you shall have whatever you choose! (38)
أَمْ لَكُمْ أَيْمَانٌ عَلَيْنَا بَالِغَةٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّ لَكُمْ لَمَا تَحْكُمُونَ ﴿۳۹﴾
Or, have you an oath from Us that stretches to the Day of Resurrection (if so) you shall surely have what you judge! (39)
سَلْهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ بِذَلِكَ زَعِيمٌ ﴿۴۰﴾
Ask them, which of them will guarantee that! (40)
أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَاءُ فَلْيَأْتُوا بِشُرَكَائِهِمْ إِنْ كَانُوا صَادِقِينَ ﴿۴۱﴾
Or, do they have associates? Then let them bring their associates, if what they say is true! (41)
يَوْمَ يُكْشَفُ عَنْ سَاقٍ وَيُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى السُّجُودِ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ﴿۴۲﴾
On the Day when the leg shall be bared, and they are ordered to prostrate themselves, they will be unable. (42)
خَاشِعَةً أَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ وَقَدْ كَانُوا يُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى السُّجُودِ وَهُمْ سَالِمُونَ ﴿۴۳﴾
Their eyes will be humbled, and humiliation shall spread over them for they were already ordered to prostrate themselves when they were undiminished. (43)
فَذَرْنِي وَمَنْ يُكَذِّبُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۴۴﴾
Therefore, leave Me with he who belied this discourse. We will draw them on little by little from where they do not know. (44)
وَأُمْلِي لَهُمْ إِنَّ كَيْدِي مَتِينٌ ﴿۴۵﴾
I shall respite them, My stratagem is firm. (45)
أَمْ تَسْأَلُهُمْ أَجْرًا فَهُمْ مِنْ مَغْرَمٍ مُثْقَلُونَ ﴿۴۶﴾
Or, do you ask them for a wage, so that they are burdened with debt? (46)
أَمْ عِنْدَهُمُ الْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ ﴿۴۷﴾
Or, is the Unseen with them, and they are writing it down! (47)
فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُنْ كَصَاحِبِ الْحُوتِ إِذْ نَادَى وَهُوَ مَكْظُومٌ ﴿۴۸﴾
So be patient with the judgement of your Lord and do not be like the Companion of the Whale (Jonah), when he called out choking inwardly. (48)
لَوْلَا أَنْ تَدَارَكَهُ نِعْمَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِ لَنُبِذَ بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ مَذْمُومٌ ﴿۴۹﴾
Had the favor of his Lord not come upon him, he would have been blamed, cast upon the shore. (49)
فَاجْتَبَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَجَعَلَهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ ﴿۵۰﴾
But his Lord had chosen him and He placed him among the righteous. (50)
وَإِنْ يَكَادُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا الذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُ لَمَجْنُونٌ ﴿۵۱﴾
When the unbelievers hear the Reminder, they nearly strike you down with their glances, and say: 'Surely, he is mad! ' (51)
وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِلْعَالَمِينَ ﴿۵۲﴾
But it is nothing other than a Reminder for all the worlds. (52)
Sura 69: AL-HAAQQA (THE REALITY)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
الْحَاقَّةُ ﴿۱﴾
The Resurrection Verifier; (1)
مَا الْحَاقَّةُ ﴿۲﴾
and what is the Resurrection Verifier? (2)
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحَاقَّةُ ﴿۳﴾
What makes you to know what the Resurrection Verifier is? (3)
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌ بِالْقَارِعَةِ ﴿۴﴾
Thamood and Aad belied the Clatterer. (4)
فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا بِالطَّاغِيَةِ ﴿۵﴾
Thamood, they were destroyed by the violent shout (of Gabriel), (5)
وَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَأُهْلِكُوا بِرِيحٍ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍ ﴿۶﴾
as for Aad, they were destroyed by a howling, violent wind (6)
سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَثَمَانِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًا فَتَرَى الْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَى كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍ ﴿۷﴾
that He subjected upon them for seven nights and eight days consecutively and you might have seen them struck down as if they were the stumps of palm trees that had fallen down. (7)
فَهَلْ تَرَى لَهُمْ مِنْ بَاقِيَةٍ ﴿۸﴾
Can you see any remnant of them now? (8)
وَجَاءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَنْ قَبْلَهُ وَالْمُؤْتَفِكَاتُ بِالْخَاطِئَةِ ﴿۹﴾
Similarly, Pharaoh, and those before him, and the ruined villages, sinned (9)
فَعَصَوْا رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ أَخْذَةً رَابِيَةً ﴿۱۰﴾
and rebelled against their Lord's Messenger. So He took them with a stern taking. (10)
إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَى الْمَاءُ حَمَلْنَاكُمْ فِي الْجَارِيَةِ ﴿۱۱﴾
And when the waters rose (high) We carried you in the sailing (Ark), (11)
لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةً وَتَعِيَهَا أُذُنٌ وَاعِيَةٌ ﴿۱۲﴾
making it a Reminder for you, for all attentive ears to retain. (12)
فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ ﴿۱۳﴾
When a single blow is blown on the Horn, (13)
وَحُمِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَاحِدَةً ﴿۱۴﴾
when the earth with all its mountains is lifted up and crushed with a single blow, (14)
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ ﴿۱۵﴾
on that Day, the Event occurs. (15)
وَانْشَقَّتِ السَّمَاءُ فَهِيَ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاهِيَةٌ ﴿۱۶﴾
The heaven will be split; because on that Day it will be frail. (16)
وَالْمَلَكُ عَلَى أَرْجَائِهَا وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثَمَانِيَةٌ ﴿۱۷﴾
The angels will stand on all its sides. And on that Day, eight (of them) will carry the Throne of your Lord above them. (17)
يَوْمَئِذٍ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَى مِنْكُمْ خَافِيَةٌ ﴿۱۸﴾
On that Day you shall be exposed, and no secret of yours will remain hidden. (18)
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ فَيَقُولُ هَاؤُمُ اقْرَءُوا كِتَابِيَهْ ﴿۱۹﴾
Then, he who is given his book in his right hand will say: 'Here, take and read my book! (19)
إِنِّي ظَنَنْتُ أَنِّي مُلَاقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ ﴿۲۰﴾
Indeed, I knew that I should come to my reckoning. ' (20)
فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَاضِيَةٍ ﴿۲۱﴾
His shall be a pleasing life (21)
فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ ﴿۲۲﴾
in a high Garden, (22)
قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٌ ﴿۲۳﴾
its fruits are near. (23)
كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا هَنِيئًا بِمَا أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِي الْأَيَّامِ الْخَالِيَةِ ﴿۲۴﴾
(It will be said): 'Eat and drink with a good appetite because of what you did in days long passed. ' (24)
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِشِمَالِهِ فَيَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أُوتَ كِتَابِيَهْ ﴿۲۵﴾
But, he who is given his book in his left hand will say: 'Woe to me, would that my book had not been given to me! (25)
وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْ ﴿۲۶﴾
Nor that I knew my reckoning! (26)
يَا لَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ الْقَاضِيَةَ ﴿۲۷﴾
Would that it (my death) had ended it all! (27)
مَا أَغْنَى عَنِّي مَالِيَهْ ﴿۲۸﴾
My wealth has not helped me a thing (28)
هَلَكَ عَنِّي سُلْطَانِيَهْ ﴿۲۹﴾
and my authority has been destroyed. ' (29)
خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ ﴿۳۰﴾
(It will be said): 'Take him and bind him. (30)
ثُمَّ الْجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ ﴿۳۱﴾
Roast him in Hell, (31)
ثُمَّ فِي سِلْسِلَةٍ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًا فَاسْلُكُوهُ ﴿۳۲﴾
then in a chain seventy arm's lengths long insert him. (32)
إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ ﴿۳۳﴾
He did not believe in Allah, the Great, (33)
وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ ﴿۳۴﴾
nor did he urge the feeding of the needy. (34)
فَلَيْسَ لَهُ الْيَوْمَ هَاهُنَا حَمِيمٌ ﴿۳۵﴾
Today he shall have no loyal friend here, (35)
وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍ ﴿۳۶﴾
nor any food except foul pus (36)
لَا يَأْكُلُهُ إِلَّا الْخَاطِئُونَ ﴿۳۷﴾
that none but sinners eat. ' (37)
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ ﴿۳۸﴾
I swear by all that you can see, (38)
وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ ﴿۳۹﴾
and all that you do not see, (39)
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ ﴿۴۰﴾
that this is the speech of a noble Messenger. (40)
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍ قَلِيلًا مَا تُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿۴۱﴾
It is not the speech of a poet little do you believe (41)
وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍ قَلِيلًا مَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿۴۲﴾
nor is it the speech of a soothsayer little do you remember. (42)
تَنْزِيلٌ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿۴۳﴾
(It is) a sending down from the Lord of all the Worlds. (43)
وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ الْأَقَاوِيلِ ﴿۴۴﴾
Had he invented sayings against Us, (44)
لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِينِ ﴿۴۵﴾
We would have seized him by the right hand (45)
ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ ﴿۴۶﴾
then, We would surely have cut from him the aorta (vein) (46)
فَمَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَاجِزِينَ ﴿۴۷﴾
not one of you could have prevented it from him. (47)
وَإِنَّهُ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿۴۸﴾
Indeed, it is a Reminder to those who fear Allah, (48)
وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿۴۹﴾
We know that there are some among you who will belie. (49)
وَإِنَّهُ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ ﴿۵۰﴾
Indeed, it is a sorrow to the unbelievers (50)
وَإِنَّهُ لَحَقُّ الْيَقِينِ ﴿۵۱﴾
yet it is a certain truth. (51)
فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ ﴿۵۲﴾
Exalt the Name of your Lord, the Great. (52)
Sura 70: AL-MAARIJ (THE ASCENDING STAIRWAYS)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
سَأَلَ سَائِلٌ بِعَذَابٍ وَاقِعٍ ﴿۱﴾
A caller supplicated about a punishment to fall on (1)
لِلْكَافِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُ دَافِعٌ ﴿۲﴾
the unbelievers which none can prevent. (2)
مِنَ اللَّهِ ذِي الْمَعَارِجِ ﴿۳﴾
(A punishment) from Allah, the Owner of the Elevated Passages. (3)
تَعْرُجُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ ﴿۴﴾
To Him the angels and the Spirit (Gabriel) ascend in a day, the measure of which is fifty thousand years. (4)
فَاصْبِرْ صَبْرًا جَمِيلًا ﴿۵﴾
Therefore be patient, with a beautiful patience; (5)
إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُ بَعِيدًا ﴿۶﴾
they see it as being far off; (6)
وَنَرَاهُ قَرِيبًا ﴿۷﴾
but We see it near. (7)
يَوْمَ تَكُونُ السَّمَاءُ كَالْمُهْلِ ﴿۸﴾
On that Day the heaven shall become like molten copper, (8)
وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ ﴿۹﴾
and the mountains shall be like puffs of wool. (9)
وَلَا يَسْأَلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًا ﴿۱۰﴾
No loyal friend will ask another loyal friend (10)
يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ يَوَدُّ الْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِي مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍ بِبَنِيهِ ﴿۱۱﴾
though they are in sight of each other. To ransom himself from the punishment of that Day, the sinner will wish that he might even ransom himself by his sons, (11)
وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَأَخِيهِ ﴿۱۲﴾
his companion (wife), his brother, (12)
وَفَصِيلَتِهِ الَّتِي تُؤْوِيهِ ﴿۱۳﴾
the kinsmen who gave him shelter, (13)
وَمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ يُنْجِيهِ ﴿۱۴﴾
and whosoever is in the earth, altogether, so that it might save him. (14)
كَلَّا إِنَّهَا لَظَى ﴿۱۵﴾
No, in truth, it is a Furnace! (15)
نَزَّاعَةً لِلشَّوَى ﴿۱۶﴾
It snatches away by the scalps, (16)
تَدْعُو مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّى ﴿۱۷﴾
and it shall call him who withdrew and turned his back (17)
وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَى ﴿۱۸﴾
and amassed (riches) and hoarded. (18)
إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا ﴿۱۹﴾
Indeed, the human was created grudging and impatient. (19)
إِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا ﴿۲۰﴾
When evil comes upon him he is impatient; (20)
وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا ﴿۲۱﴾
but when good comes upon him, he is grudging (21)
إِلَّا الْمُصَلِّينَ ﴿۲۲﴾
except those that pray (22)
الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ دَائِمُونَ ﴿۲۳﴾
who are constant in prayer; (23)
وَالَّذِينَ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَعْلُومٌ ﴿۲۴﴾
who, from their wealth is a known right (24)
لِلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ ﴿۲۵﴾
for the impoverished nonrequester and the requester, (25)
وَالَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ ﴿۲۶﴾
who confirm the Day of Reckoning (26)
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِمْ مُشْفِقُونَ ﴿۲۷﴾
and go in fear of the punishment of their Lord, (27)
إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ ﴿۲۸﴾
for none is secure from the punishment of their Lord, (28)
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ ﴿۲۹﴾
who guard their privates (29)
إِلَّا عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ ﴿۳۰﴾
except from their wives and what their right hands own, for these they are not blameworthy. (30)
فَمَنِ ابْتَغَى وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ ﴿۳۱﴾
But whosoever seeks beyond that, they are the transgressors. (31)
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَ ﴿۳۲﴾
(Those) who keep their trusts and their covenant, (32)
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ بِشَهَادَاتِهِمْ قَائِمُونَ ﴿۳۳﴾
and standby their witnessing, (33)
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ ﴿۳۴﴾
and who are constant in their prayers. (34)
أُولَئِكَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ مُكْرَمُونَ ﴿۳۵﴾
Those are highly honored in the Gardens. (35)
فَمَالِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ ﴿۳۶﴾
But what is the matter with the unbelievers, that they strain their glances continuously towards them, (36)
عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ ﴿۳۷﴾
on the right and on the left in groups? (37)
أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ ﴿۳۸﴾
What, is every one of them eager to be admitted to the Garden of Bliss? (38)
كَلَّا إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُمْ مِمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۳۹﴾
Not at all, for We have created them of what they know. (39)
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ الْمَشَارِقِ وَالْمَغَارِبِ إِنَّا لَقَادِرُونَ ﴿۴۰﴾
No, I swear by the Lord of the Easts and the Wests that We have the ability (40)
عَلَى أَنْ نُبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ ﴿۴۱﴾
to exchange them with others better than they; nothing can outstrip Us! (41)
فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا وَيَلْعَبُوا حَتَّى يُلَاقُوا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ ﴿۴۲﴾
So leave them alone to plunge and play, until they encounter the Day which they are promised; (42)
يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَى نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ ﴿۴۳﴾
the Day when they shall rush from their graves, as if they were hurrying to a raised flag, (43)
خَاشِعَةً أَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ ﴿۴۴﴾
their eyes are humbled and they are covered with humiliation. Such is the Day that they were promised. (44)
Sura 71: NOOH (NOOH)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَى قَوْمِهِ أَنْ أَنْذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ﴿۱﴾
We sent Noah to his nation, saying: 'Give warning to your nation before a painful punishment overtakes them. ' (1)
قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُبِينٌ ﴿۲﴾
He said: 'My nation, I am a clear warner for you. (2)
أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ ﴿۳﴾
Worship Allah, fear Him, and obey me. (3)
يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ مِنْ ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى إِنَّ أَجَلَ اللَّهِ إِذَا جَاءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۴﴾
He will forgive you your sins and respite you till an appointed term. When the term of Allah arrives it cannot be deferred; if you but knew. ' (4)
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِي لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا ﴿۵﴾
'My Lord, ' said he, 'night and day I have called my nation, (5)
فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَائِي إِلَّا فِرَارًا ﴿۶﴾
but my call has only increased them in running away. (6)
وَإِنِّي كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوا أَصَابِعَهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِمْ وَاسْتَغْشَوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا اسْتِكْبَارًا ﴿۷﴾
Each time I called them so that You might forgive them, they thrust their fingers in their ears and wrapped themselves in their garments, and persisted becoming very proud. (7)
ثُمَّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًا ﴿۸﴾
I called to them clearly, (8)
ثُمَّ إِنِّي أَعْلَنْتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًا ﴿۹﴾
and indeed, I spoke to them both publicly and in secret: (9)
فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا ﴿۱۰﴾
"Ask for forgiveness of your Lord," I said. "Surely, He is the Forgiver. (10)
يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِدْرَارًا ﴿۱۱﴾
He will let loose the sky upon you in abundance (11)
وَيُمْدِدْكُمْ بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ وَيَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ أَنْهَارًا ﴿۱۲﴾
and give to you wealth and sons, and provide you with gardens and rivers. (12)
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًا ﴿۱۳﴾
What is the matter with you that you do not want the Greatness of Allah, (13)
وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًا ﴿۱۴﴾
He has created you by stages! (14)
أَلَمْ تَرَوْا كَيْفَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا ﴿۱۵﴾
Have you not seen how Allah created the seven heavens one above the other, (15)
وَجَعَلَ الْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا وَجَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا ﴿۱۶﴾
setting in them the moon as a light and the sun as a lantern? (16)
وَاللَّهُ أَنْبَتَكُمْ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ نَبَاتًا ﴿۱۷﴾
Allah has caused you to grow out of the earth, (17)
ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِيهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ إِخْرَاجًا ﴿۱۸﴾
and to it He will return you. Then, He will bring you forth. (18)
وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ بِسَاطًا ﴿۱۹﴾
Allah has made the earth spread out for you (19)
لِتَسْلُكُوا مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا ﴿۲۰﴾
so that you walk in its spacious paths." ' (20)
قَالَ نُوحٌ رَبِّ إِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِي وَاتَّبَعُوا مَنْ لَمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهُ وَوَلَدُهُ إِلَّا خَسَارًا ﴿۲۱﴾
Noah said: 'My Lord, they have rebelled against me and followed he whose wealth and offspring increase him only in loss, (21)
وَمَكَرُوا مَكْرًا كُبَّارًا ﴿۲۲﴾
they have devised a mighty plot, (22)
وَقَالُوا لَا تَذَرُنَّ آلِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلَا سُوَاعًا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًا ﴿۲۳﴾
and said: 'Do not renounce your gods, do not leave waddan or suwa'an or yaghutha, or ya'uqa, or nasra. ' (23)
وَقَدْ أَضَلُّوا كَثِيرًا وَلَا تَزِدِ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَالًا ﴿۲۴﴾
And they have led many astray. (Noah supplicated saying): 'Allah, do not increase the harmdoers except in error! ' (24)
مِمَّا خَطِيئَاتِهِمْ أُغْرِقُوا فَأُدْخِلُوا نَارًا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ أَنْصَارًا ﴿۲۵﴾
So because of their sins they were drowned and admitted into the Fire. They found none to help them other than Allah. (25)
وَقَالَ نُوحٌ رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ دَيَّارًا ﴿۲۶﴾
And Noah (supplicated) saying: 'My Lord, do not leave a single unbeliever upon the earth. (26)
إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوا عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوا إِلَّا فَاجِرًا كَفَّارًا ﴿۲۷﴾
Surely, if You leave them they will mislead Your worshipers and father none but the immoral, and unbelievers. (27)
رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِمَنْ دَخَلَ بَيْتِيَ مُؤْمِنًا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًا ﴿۲۸﴾
Forgive me, My Lord, and my parents, and whosoever seeks refuge in my house as a believer, and the believers men and women alike, and do not increase the harmdoers except in ruin! ' (28)
Sura 72: AL-JINN (THE JINN)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
قُلْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْآنًا عَجَبًا ﴿۱﴾
Say: 'It is revealed to me that a party of jinn listened then said: "We have indeed heard a wonderful Koran, (1)
يَهْدِي إِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَآمَنَّا بِهِ وَلَنْ نُشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَا أَحَدًا ﴿۲﴾
that guides to the Right Path. We believe in it and we will not associate anyone with our Lord. (2)
وَأَنَّهُ تَعَالَى جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا اتَّخَذَ صَاحِبَةً وَلَا وَلَدًا ﴿۳﴾
He exalted be the Majesty of our Lord, who has neither taken to Himself a wife, nor a son! (3)
وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ شَطَطًا ﴿۴﴾
The ignorant fool among us has spoken outrageously against Allah, (4)
وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّا أَنْ لَنْ تَقُولَ الْإِنْسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا ﴿۵﴾
we never thought that either human or jinn would ever tell a lie against Allah!" ' (5)
وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا ﴿۶﴾
But there were certain men from mankind who would take refuge with certain males from the jinn and they increased them in tyranny. (6)
وَأَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوا كَمَا ظَنَنْتُمْ أَنْ لَنْ يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ أَحَدًا ﴿۷﴾
Like you, they thought that Allah would never raise the dead. (7)
وَأَنَّا لَمَسْنَا السَّمَاءَ فَوَجَدْنَاهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًا شَدِيدًا وَشُهُبًا ﴿۸﴾
(The jinn continued saying): "We made our way towards heaven, but we found it filled with stern guards and a flame. (8)
وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ فَمَنْ يَسْتَمِعِ الْآنَ يَجِدْ لَهُ شِهَابًا رَصَدًا ﴿۹﴾
There, we would sit to eavesdrop, but now an eavesdropper finds a flame in wait for him. (9)
وَأَنَّا لَا نَدْرِي أَشَرٌّ أُرِيدَ بِمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَمْ أَرَادَ بِهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ رَشَدًا ﴿۱۰﴾
And so we do not know whether evil is intended for those on earth, or whether their Lord intends to guide them. (10)
وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الصَّالِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَلِكَ كُنَّا طَرَائِقَ قِدَدًا ﴿۱۱﴾
Some of us are righteous, but some are otherwise, we are sects that differ. (11)
وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّا أَنْ لَنْ نُعْجِزَ اللَّهَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَنْ نُعْجِزَهُ هَرَبًا ﴿۱۲﴾
We know that we cannot frustrate Allah in the earth, nor can we frustrate Him by flight. (12)
وَأَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعْنَا الْهُدَى آمَنَّا بِهِ فَمَنْ يُؤْمِنْ بِرَبِّهِ فَلَا يَخَافُ بَخْسًا وَلَا رَهَقًا ﴿۱۳﴾
When we heard the Guidance, we believed in it, and whosoever believes in his Lord shall fear neither shortage nor injustice. (13)
وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَمِنَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ فَأُولَئِكَ تَحَرَّوْا رَشَدًا ﴿۱۴﴾
Some of us have surrendered (Muslims) and some of us have deviated. Those who surrendered sought the Right Path, (14)
وَأَمَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا ﴿۱۵﴾
but those who have deviated shall become the fuel of Gehenna (Hell). (15)
وَأَنْ لَوِ اسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى الطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَاهُمْ مَاءً غَدَقًا ﴿۱۶﴾
If they had followed the Path We would give to them abundant water to drink, (16)
لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ وَمَنْ يُعْرِضْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِ يَسْلُكْهُ عَذَابًا صَعَدًا ﴿۱۷﴾
and tested them with it. And whosoever turns away from his Lord's Remembrance, He will hurl him into a stern punishment. (17)
وَأَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا ﴿۱۸﴾
Mosques belong to Allah, so do not call to anyone else, other than Allah. (18)
وَأَنَّهُ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَدْعُوهُ كَادُوا يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَدًا ﴿۱۹﴾
When the worshiper of Allah stood supplicating to Him, they swarmed around him (Prophet Muhammad). (19)
قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَدْعُو رَبِّي وَلَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ أَحَدًا ﴿۲۰﴾
Say: 'I supplicate only to my Lord and I do not associate any with Him. ' (20)
قُلْ إِنِّي لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا رَشَدًا ﴿۲۱﴾
Say: 'Indeed, I possess no power over you, either for harm or for guidance. ' (21)
قُلْ إِنِّي لَنْ يُجِيرَنِي مِنَ اللَّهِ أَحَدٌ وَلَنْ أَجِدَ مِنْ دُونِهِ مُلْتَحَدًا ﴿۲۲﴾
Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah, and other than Him, I will find no refuge, (22)
إِلَّا بَلَاغًا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِسَالَاتِهِ وَمَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا ﴿۲۳﴾
except a deliverance from Allah and His Messages. He who disobeys Allah and His Messenger, for him is the Fire of Gehenna, which he will be in for ever. (23)
حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَوْا مَا يُوعَدُونَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدًا ﴿۲۴﴾
When they see that which they were promised they shall know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. (24)
قُلْ إِنْ أَدْرِي أَقَرِيبٌ مَا تُوعَدُونَ أَمْ يَجْعَلُ لَهُ رَبِّي أَمَدًا ﴿۲۵﴾
Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are promised is near, or whether my Lord will set for it a time. (25)
عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَى غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا ﴿۲۶﴾
He is the Knower of the Unseen and does not disclose His Unseen to anyone, (26)
إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضَى مِنْ رَسُولٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْلُكُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ رَصَدًا ﴿۲۷﴾
except only to a Messenger that He has chosen, and He sends guardians before him and behind him, (27)
لِيَعْلَمَ أَنْ قَدْ أَبْلَغُوا رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ وَأَحْصَى كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَدًا ﴿۲۸﴾
so that He may know that they have delivered the Messages of their Lord and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has counted everything in numbers. ' (28)
Sura 73: AL-MUZZAMMIL (THE ENSHROUDED ONE)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ ﴿۱﴾
O you (Prophet Muhammad) wrapped, (1)
قُمِ اللَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا ﴿۲﴾
rise (to pray) the night except a little; (2)
نِصْفَهُ أَوِ انْقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا ﴿۳﴾
half the night, or a little less (3)
أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيلًا ﴿۴﴾
or a little more; and with recitation, recite the Koran. (4)
إِنَّا سَنُلْقِي عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًا ثَقِيلًا ﴿۵﴾
We are about to cast upon you a weighty Word. (5)
إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ اللَّيْلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطْئًا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا ﴿۶﴾
Indeed, the first part of night is heavier in tread, and more upright in speech. (6)
إِنَّ لَكَ فِي النَّهَارِ سَبْحًا طَوِيلًا ﴿۷﴾
You have by day prolonged occupations. (7)
وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْهِ تَبْتِيلًا ﴿۸﴾
Remember the Name of your Lord and dedicate yourself devoutly to Him. (8)
رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَاتَّخِذْهُ وَكِيلًا ﴿۹﴾
He is the Lord of the East and the West; there is no god except Him. Take Him for your Guardian. (9)
وَاصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاهْجُرْهُمْ هَجْرًا جَمِيلًا ﴿۱۰﴾
Bear patiently with what they say and with a fine abandonment forsake them. (10)
وَذَرْنِي وَالْمُكَذِّبِينَ أُولِي النَّعْمَةِ وَمَهِّلْهُمْ قَلِيلًا ﴿۱۱﴾
Leave to Me those who belie, those who lead a life of pleasure, and bear with them yet a little while. (11)
إِنَّ لَدَيْنَا أَنْكَالًا وَجَحِيمًا ﴿۱۲﴾
We have fetters (for them) and a blazing fire, (12)
وَطَعَامًا ذَا غُصَّةٍ وَعَذَابًا أَلِيمًا ﴿۱۳﴾
choking food and a painful punishment. (13)
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الْأَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ الْجِبَالُ كَثِيبًا مَهِيلًا ﴿۱۴﴾
On the Day when the earth with all its mountains quake and the mountains become heaps of shifting sand. (14)
إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولًا شَاهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولًا ﴿۱۵﴾
Indeed, We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness over you, just as We sent a Messenger to Pharaoh. (15)
فَعَصَى فِرْعَوْنُ الرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذْنَاهُ أَخْذًا وَبِيلًا ﴿۱۶﴾
Pharaoh disobeyed Our Messenger, so We seized him remorselessly. (16)
فَكَيْفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِنْ كَفَرْتُمْ يَوْمًا يَجْعَلُ الْوِلْدَانَ شِيبًا ﴿۱۷﴾
If you disbelieve, how will you guard yourself against the Day that will make children gray haired, (17)
السَّمَاءُ مُنْفَطِرٌ بِهِ كَانَ وَعْدُهُ مَفْعُولًا ﴿۱۸﴾
on which the heaven will split apart, and His promise is done. (18)
إِنَّ هَذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ فَمَنْ شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا ﴿۱۹﴾
This is indeed a Reminder. Let whosoever will take the Path to his Lord. (19)
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدْنَى مِنْ ثُلُثَيِ اللَّيْلِ وَنِصْفَهُ وَثُلُثَهُ وَطَائِفَةٌ مِنَ الَّذِينَ مَعَكَ وَاللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ عَلِمَ أَنْ لَنْ تُحْصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ عَلِمَ أَنْ سَيَكُونُ مِنْكُمْ مَرْضَى وَآخَرُونَ يَضْرِبُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَبْتَغُونَ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَآخَرُونَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَقْرِضُوا اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرًا وَأَعْظَمَ أَجْرًا وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ ﴿۲۰﴾
Your Lord knows that you keep vigil nearly two thirds of the night and sometimes half or onethird of it, and a party of those with you. Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that you cannot count it, and turns to you. Therefore, recite from the Koran as much as is easy (for you); He knows that among you there are the sick and others traveling the road seeking the bounty of Allah; and others fighting in the Way of Allah. So then, recite from it as much as is easy. Establish your prayers, pay the obligatory charity, and lend Allah a generous loan. Whatever good you shall forward to your souls' account, you surely will find it better with Allah, and a mightier wage. And supplicate for the forgiveness of Allah. Allah is the Forgiving, the Merciful. (20)
Sura 74: AL-MUDDATHTHIR (THE CLOAKED ONE)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ ﴿۱﴾
O you (Prophet Muhamad), the cloaked, (1)
قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ ﴿۲﴾
arise and warn, (2)
وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ ﴿۳﴾
and exalt your Lord, (3)
وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ ﴿۴﴾
and purify your clothing, (4)
وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ ﴿۵﴾
and flee from the statues! (5)
وَلَا تَمْنُنْ تَسْتَكْثِرُ ﴿۶﴾
Do not give, thinking to gain greater (6)
وَلِرَبِّكَ فَاصْبِرْ ﴿۷﴾
be patient unto your Lord. (7)
فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِي النَّاقُورِ ﴿۸﴾
When the Horn is blown, (8)
فَذَلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ ﴿۹﴾
that shall be a Harsh Day (9)
عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ ﴿۱۰﴾
and it will not be easy for the unbelievers. (10)
ذَرْنِي وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًا ﴿۱۱﴾
Leave Me alone with he whom I created (11)
وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُ مَالًا مَمْدُودًا ﴿۱۲﴾
and designated for him ample wealth, (12)
وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًا ﴿۱۳﴾
and sons that stand in witness. (13)
وَمَهَّدْتُ لَهُ تَمْهِيدًا ﴿۱۴﴾
I made things smooth and easy for him, (14)
ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ ﴿۱۵﴾
yet he is eager that I increase him. (15)
كَلَّا إِنَّهُ كَانَ لِآيَاتِنَا عَنِيدًا ﴿۱۶﴾
Not at all! Surely, he has been disobedient to Our verses. (16)
سَأُرْهِقُهُ صَعُودًا ﴿۱۷﴾
I will constrain him to a hard ascent. (17)
إِنَّهُ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ ﴿۱۸﴾
He reflected, and then determined (18)
فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ ﴿۱۹﴾
death seized him, how was his determining! (19)
ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ ﴿۲۰﴾
Again, death seized him, how was his determining! (20)
ثُمَّ نَظَرَ ﴿۲۱﴾
Then he looked, (21)
ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ ﴿۲۲﴾
frowned and scowled; (22)
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَاسْتَكْبَرَ ﴿۲۳﴾
then he retreated and grew proud (23)
فَقَالَ إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ ﴿۲۴﴾
and said: 'This is no more than traced sorcery; (24)
إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا قَوْلُ الْبَشَرِ ﴿۲۵﴾
It is nothing but the word of a mortal! ' (25)
سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ ﴿۲۶﴾
I will surely roast him in the Scorching. (26)
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سَقَرُ ﴿۲۷﴾
What will let you know what the Scorching is like! (27)
لَا تُبْقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ ﴿۲۸﴾
It neither spares, nor releases, (28)
لَوَّاحَةٌ لِلْبَشَرِ ﴿۲۹﴾
and it burns the flesh. (29)
عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ ﴿۳۰﴾
Over it are nineteen (angels guarding). (30)
وَمَا جَعَلْنَا أَصْحَابَ النَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَائِكَةً وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ وَيَزْدَادَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِيمَانًا وَلَا يَرْتَابَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَلِيَقُولَ الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ وَالْكَافِرُونَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَذَا مَثَلًا كَذَلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَى لِلْبَشَرِ ﴿۳۱﴾
We have appointed none but angels to guard the Fire, and made their number only as a trial for the unbelievers, so that those to whom the Book was given are certain and those who believe increase in belief. And that those who were given the Book, and those who believe will not be in doubt. And that those in whose hearts there is a sickness, together with the unbelievers, may say: 'What did Allah intend by this as an example? ' As such, Allah leaves in error whom He will and He guides whomsoever He will. None knows the hosts of your Lord except He. This is no more than a Reminder to humans. (31)
كَلَّا وَالْقَمَرِ ﴿۳۲﴾
No, by the moon! (32)
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ ﴿۳۳﴾
By the receding night (33)
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا أَسْفَرَ ﴿۳۴﴾
and the morning when it appears, (34)
إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى الْكُبَرِ ﴿۳۵﴾
it is one of the greatest trials, (35)
نَذِيرًا لِلْبَشَرِ ﴿۳۶﴾
a warning to humans, (36)
لِمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ ﴿۳۷﴾
to whoever among you desires to go forward, or lag behind. (37)
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ ﴿۳۸﴾
Each soul is held in pledge for what it earns, (38)
إِلَّا أَصْحَابَ الْيَمِينِ ﴿۳۹﴾
except the Companions of the Right. (39)
فِي جَنَّاتٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ ﴿۴۰﴾
In Gardens they will question (40)
عَنِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿۴۱﴾
concerning the sinners, (41)
مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِي سَقَرَ ﴿۴۲﴾
'What caused you to be thrust into the Scorching (Fire)? ' (42)
قَالُوا لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّينَ ﴿۴۳﴾
They will reply: 'We were not among those who prayed (43)
وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ الْمِسْكِينَ ﴿۴۴﴾
and we did not feed the needy. (44)
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ الْخَائِضِينَ ﴿۴۵﴾
We plunged in with the plungers (45)
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ ﴿۴۶﴾
and belied the Day of Recompense (46)
حَتَّى أَتَانَا الْيَقِينُ ﴿۴۷﴾
till the certainty (death) overtook us. ' (47)
فَمَا تَنْفَعُهُمْ شَفَاعَةُ الشَّافِعِينَ ﴿۴۸﴾
The intercession of their intercessors shall not benefit them. (48)
فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ التَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ ﴿۴۹﴾
What is the matter with them that they turn away from this Reminder, (49)
كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُسْتَنْفِرَةٌ ﴿۵۰﴾
like startled wild donkeys (50)
فَرَّتْ مِنْ قَسْوَرَةٍ ﴿۵۱﴾
fleeing before a lion? (51)
بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يُؤْتَى صُحُفًا مُنَشَّرَةً ﴿۵۲﴾
Indeed, each one of them desires to be given unrolled scrolls. (52)
كَلَّا بَلْ لَا يَخَافُونَ الْآخِرَةَ ﴿۵۳﴾
No, indeed they have no fear of the Everlasting Life. (53)
كَلَّا إِنَّهُ تَذْكِرَةٌ ﴿۵۴﴾
No, indeed, surely, this is a Reminder. (54)
فَمَنْ شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ ﴿۵۵﴾
So, whoever wills, will remember it. (55)
وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ هُوَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَى وَأَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ ﴿۵۶﴾
But none will remember, unless Allah wills, He is the Owner of fear, the Owner of forgiveness. (56)
Sura 75: AL-QIYAMA (THE RISING OF THE DEAD)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ﴿۱﴾
No! I swear by the Day of Resurrection, (1)
وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ ﴿۲﴾
No! I swear by the reproachful soul! (2)
أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَلَّنْ نَجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ ﴿۳﴾
What, does the human think We shall never gather his bones? (3)
بَلَى قَادِرِينَ عَلَى أَنْ نُسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ ﴿۴﴾
Indeed yes, We are able to shape his fingerstips yet again! (4)
بَلْ يُرِيدُ الْإِنْسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُ ﴿۵﴾
Rather, the human desires to continue in his immorality, (5)
يَسْأَلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ ﴿۶﴾
'When will the Day of Resurrection be? ' he asks, (6)
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ ﴿۷﴾
but when the sight is dazed (7)
وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ ﴿۸﴾
and the moon eclipsed, (8)
وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ ﴿۹﴾
when the sun and moon are gathered together (9)
يَقُولُ الْإِنْسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ ﴿۱۰﴾
on that Day the human will ask: 'To (which place) shall I flee? ' (10)
كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ﴿۱۱﴾
No, there shall be no (place of) refuge. (11)
إِلَى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ ﴿۱۲﴾
For on that Day the refuge shall be to your Lord. (12)
يُنَبَّأُ الْإِنْسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ ﴿۱۳﴾
On that Day the human shall be informed of his former and latter deeds. (13)
بَلِ الْإِنْسَانُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ ﴿۱۴﴾
He shall be a clear proof against himself, (14)
وَلَوْ أَلْقَى مَعَاذِيرَهُ ﴿۱۵﴾
even though he offers his excuses. (15)
لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ ﴿۱۶﴾
Do not move your tongue with it (the Revelation) to hasten it. (16)
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ ﴿۱۷﴾
It's gathering and reciting is upon Us. (17)
فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ ﴿۱۸﴾
When We recite it, follow its recitation. (18)
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ ﴿۱۹﴾
It's explanation is upon Us. (19)
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ ﴿۲۰﴾
Yet you love this hasty world (20)
وَتَذَرُونَ الْآخِرَةَ ﴿۲۱﴾
and are heedless of the Everlasting Life. (21)
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاضِرَةٌ ﴿۲۲﴾
On that Day there shall be radiant faces, (22)
إِلَى رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ ﴿۲۳﴾
gazing towards their Lord. (23)
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَاسِرَةٌ ﴿۲۴﴾
And on that Day there shall be scowling faces, (24)
تَظُنُّ أَنْ يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ ﴿۲۵﴾
so they might think the Calamity had been inflicted upon them. (25)
كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِيَ ﴿۲۶﴾
But, when (the soul) reaches the collar bone (26)
وَقِيلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ ﴿۲۷﴾
and it is said: 'Who is a healing chanter? ' (27)
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ ﴿۲۸﴾
and when he thinks it is the time of departure (28)
وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ ﴿۲۹﴾
and when leg is intertwined with leg, (29)
إِلَى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمَسَاقُ ﴿۳۰﴾
upon that Day the driving shall be to your Lord. (30)
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّى ﴿۳۱﴾
Because, he neither believed nor prayed; (31)
وَلَكِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى ﴿۳۲﴾
he belied the truth and turned away; (32)
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ يَتَمَطَّى ﴿۳۳﴾
then went arrogantly to his household. (33)
أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى ﴿۳۴﴾
Near to you and nearer, (34)
ثُمَّ أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى ﴿۳۵﴾
then nearer to you and nearer! (35)
أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَنْ يُتْرَكَ سُدًى ﴿۳۶﴾
Does the human think he will be left to roam at will? (36)
أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِنْ مَنِيٍّ يُمْنَى ﴿۳۷﴾
What, was he not an ejaculated drop (of sperm)? (37)
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّى ﴿۳۸﴾
Then he was a clot of blood, then He created and formed him (38)
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَى ﴿۳۹﴾
and made from him two kinds, male and female. (39)
أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَنْ يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى ﴿۴۰﴾
What, is He then unable to revive the dead? (40)
Sura 76: AL-INSAN (MAN)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
هَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ حِينٌ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْئًا مَذْكُورًا ﴿۱﴾
Indeed, there came upon the human a period of time when he was an unremembered thing. (1)
إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍ نَبْتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا ﴿۲﴾
We have created the human from a (sperm) drop, a mixture, testing him; We made him to hear and see. (2)
إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا ﴿۳﴾
Indeed, We have guided him to the path, he is either grateful or ungrateful. (3)
إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِينَ سَلَاسِلَ وَأَغْلَالًا وَسَعِيرًا ﴿۴﴾
Indeed, for the unbelievers We have prepared chains, fetters and a Blazing (Fire). (4)
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ يَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ كَأْسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا ﴿۵﴾
But the righteous shall drink of a goblet mixed with camphor; (5)
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ اللَّهِ يُفَجِّرُونَهَا تَفْجِيرًا ﴿۶﴾
a fountain at which the worshipers of Allah drink and make it gush forth abundantly; (6)
يُوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا كَانَ شَرُّهُ مُسْتَطِيرًا ﴿۷﴾
they who keep their vows and fear a Day whose evil is spread; (7)
وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَى حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا ﴿۸﴾
who give food, for the love of Him to the needy, the orphan, and the captive, (8)
إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ لَا نُرِيدُ مِنْكُمْ جَزَاءً وَلَا شُكُورًا ﴿۹﴾
(saying): 'We feed you only desirous of the Face of Allah; we seek of you neither recompense nor thanks, (9)
إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِنْ رَبِّنَا يَوْمًا عَبُوسًا قَمْطَرِيرًا ﴿۱۰﴾
for we fear from our Lord a stern, frownful Day. ' (10)
فَوَقَاهُمُ اللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَلَقَّاهُمْ نَضْرَةً وَسُرُورًا ﴿۱۱﴾
So Allah will save them from the evil of that Day and has secured for them radiance and joyfulness, (11)
وَجَزَاهُمْ بِمَا صَبَرُوا جَنَّةً وَحَرِيرًا ﴿۱۲﴾
and recompense them for their patience with a Garden, and robes of silk. (12)
