15. Surah Al-Hijr The Rock

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

In the name of Allah, All-Merciful, Most Merciful

الٓـرٰ۠ تِلْكَ اٰيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ وَقُرْاٰنٍ مُب۪ينٍ

Alif-lam-ra tilka ayatualkitabi waqur-anin mubeen

Alif Lam Ra. Those are the Signs of the Book and a clear Qur’an.

رُبَمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كَانُوا مُسْلِم۪ينَ

Rubama yawaddu allatheenakafaroo law kanoo muslimeen

It may be that those who are kafir will wish that they had been Muslims.

ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا وَيَتَمَتَّعُوا وَيُلْهِهِمُ الْاَمَلُ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

Tharhum ya/kuloo wayatamattaAAoowayulhihimu al-amalu fasawfa yaAAlamoon

Leave them to eat and enjoy themselves. Let false hope divert them. They will soon know.

وَمَٓا اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ اِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَعْلُومٌ

Wama ahlakna min qaryatin illawalaha kitabun maAAloom

We did not destroy any city without it having a set time.

مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ اُمَّةٍ اَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ

Ma tasbiqu min ommatin ajalahawama yasta/khiroon

No nation can advance its appointed time nor can they delay it.

وَقَالُوا يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ي نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ اِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌۜ

Waqaloo ya ayyuha allatheenuzzila AAalayhi aththikru innaka lamajnoon

They say, ‘You, to whom the Reminder has been sent down, are clearly mad.

لَوْ مَا تَأْت۪ينَا بِالْمَلٰٓئِكَةِ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِق۪ينَ

Law ma ta/teena bilmala-ikatiin kunta mina assadiqeen

Why do you not bring angels to us if you are telling the truth?’

مَا نُنَزِّلُ الْمَلٰٓئِكَةَ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُٓوا اِذاً مُنْظَر۪ينَ

Ma nunazzilu almala-ikata illabilhaqqi wama kanoo ithan munthareen

The angels only descend with the truth and then they would be granted no reprieve.

اِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَاِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ

Inna nahnu nazzalna aththikrawa-inna lahu lahafithoon

It is We Who have sent down the Reminder and We Who will preserve it.

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ ف۪ي شِيَعِ الْاَوَّل۪ينَ

Walaqad arsalna min qablika feeshiyaAAi al-awwaleen

We sent Messengers before you among the disparate groups of previous peoples.

وَمَا يَأْت۪يهِمْ مِنْ رَسُولٍ اِلَّا كَانُوا بِه۪ يَسْتَهْزِؤُ۫نَ

Wama ya/teehim min rasoolin illakanoo bihi yastahzi-oon

No Messenger came to them without their mocking him.

كَذٰلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُ ف۪ي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِم۪ينَۙ

Kathalika naslukuhu fee quloobialmujrimeen

In that way We insert it into the evildoers’ hearts.

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِه۪ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ الْاَوَّل۪ينَ

La yu/minoona bihi waqad khalatsunnatu al-awwaleen

They do not have iman in it, even though the example of the previous peoples has gone before.

وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَاباً مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ فَظَلُّوا ف۪يهِ يَعْرُجُونَۙ

Walaw fatahna AAalayhim babanmina assama-i fathalloo feehiyaAArujoon

Even if We opened up to them a door into heaven, and they spent the day ascending through it,

لَقَالُٓوا اِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ اَبْصَارُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَسْحُورُونَ۟

Laqaloo innama sukkirat absarunabal nahnu qawmun mashooroon

they would only say, ‘Our eyesight is befuddled! Or rather we have been put under a spell!’

وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِي السَّمَٓاءِ بُرُوجاً وَزَيَّنَّاهَا لِلنَّاظِر۪ينَۙ

Walaqad jaAAalna fee assama-iburoojan wazayyannaha linnathireen

We have placed constellations in heaven and made them beautiful for those who look.

وَحَفِظْنَاهَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ رَج۪يمٍۙ

Wahafithnahamin kulli shaytanin rajeem

We have guarded them from every cursed Shaytan –

اِلَّا مَنِ اسْتَرَقَ السَّمْعَ فَاَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ مُب۪ينٌ

Illa mani istaraqa assamAAafaatbaAAahu shihabun mubeen

except for the one who listens stealthily, and he is followed by an open flame.

وَالْاَرْضَ مَدَدْنَاهَا وَاَلْقَيْنَا ف۪يهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَاَنْبَتْنَا ف۪يهَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مَوْزُونٍ

Wal-arda madadnahawaalqayna feeha rawasiya waanbatnafeeha min kulli shay-in mawzoon

As for the earth, We stretched it out and cast firmly embedded mountains in it and made everything grow in due proportion on it.

وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ ف۪يهَا مَعَايِشَ وَمَنْ لَسْتُمْ لَهُ بِرَازِق۪ينَ

WajaAAalna lakum feeha maAAayishawaman lastum lahu biraziqeen

And We put livelihoods in it both for you and for those you do not provide for.

وَاِنْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ اِلَّا عِنْدَنَا خَزَٓائِنُهُۘ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُـهُٓ اِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَعْلُومٍ

Wa-in min shay-in illa AAindanakhaza-inuhu wama nunazziluhu illa biqadarinmaAAloom

There is nothing that does not have its stores with Us and We only send it down in a known measure.

وَاَرْسَلْنَا الرِّيَاحَ لَوَاقِـحَ فَاَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ مَٓاءً فَاَسْقَيْنَاكُمُوهُۚ وَمَٓا اَنْتُمْ لَهُ بِخَازِن۪ينَ

Waarsalna arriyaha lawaqihafaanzalna mina assama-i maanfaasqaynakumoohu wama antum lahu bikhazineen

We send forth the pollinating winds and send down water from the sky and give it to you to drink. And it is not you who keep its stores.

وَاِنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْـي۪ وَنُم۪يتُ وَنَحْنُ الْوَارِثُونَ

Wa-inna lanahnu nuhyeewanumeetu wanahnu alwarithoon

It is We who give life and cause to die and We are the Inheritor.

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَقْدِم۪ينَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَأْخِر۪ينَ

Walaqad AAalimna almustaqdimeenaminkum walaqad AAalimna almusta/khireen

We know those of you who have gone ahead and those who are still to come.

وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحْشُرُهُمْۜ اِنَّهُ حَك۪يمٌ عَل۪يمٌ۟

Wa-inna rabbaka huwa yahshuruhuminnahu hakeemun AAaleem

It is your Lord who will gather them. He is All-Wise, All-Knowing.

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِنْ حَمَأٍ مَسْنُونٍۚ

Walaqad khalaqna al-insana minsalsalin min hama-in masnoon

We created mankind out of dried clay formed from fetid black mud.

وَالْجَٓانَّ خَلَقْنَاهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ مِنْ نَارِ السَّمُومِ

Waljanna khalaqnahumin qablu min nari assamoom

We created the jinn before out of the fire of a searing wind.

وَاِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلٰٓئِكَةِ اِنّ۪ي خَالِقٌ بَشَراً مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِنْ حَمَأٍ مَسْنُونٍ

Wa-ith qala rabbuka lilmala-ikatiinnee khaliqun basharan min salsalin min hama-inmasnoon

When your Lord said to the angels, ‘I am creating a human being out of dried clay formed from fetid black mud

فَاِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ ف۪يهِ مِنْ رُوح۪ي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِد۪ينَ

Fa-itha sawwaytuhu wanafakhtu feehimin roohee faqaAAoo lahu sajideen

When I have formed him and breathed My Ruh into him, fall down in prostration in front of him!’

فَسَجَدَ الْمَلٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ اَجْمَعُونَۙ

Fasajada almala-ikatu kulluhumajmaAAoon

Then the angels prostrated all together, every one of them –

اِلَّٓا اِبْل۪يسَۜ اَبٰٓى اَنْ يَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِد۪ينَ

Illa ibleesa aba an yakoonamaAAa assajideen

except Iblis. He disdained to be one of the prostrators.

قَالَ يَٓا اِبْل۪يسُ مَا لَكَ اَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِد۪ينَ

Qala ya ibleesu ma lakaalla takoona maAAa assajideen

He said, ‘Iblis, what is it that prevents you being among the prostrators?’

قَالَ لَمْ اَكُنْ لِاَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِنْ حَمَأٍ مَسْنُونٍ

Qala lam akun li-asjuda libasharinkhalaqtahu min salsalin min hama-in masnoon

He said, ‘I will not prostrate to a human being whom You have created out of dried clay formed from fetid black mud. ’

قَالَ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَاِنَّكَ رَج۪يمٌ

Qala fakhruj minhafa-innaka rajeem

He said, ‘Get out from here, you are accursed.

وَاِنَّ عَلَيْكَ اللَّعْنَةَ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الدّ۪ينِ

Wa-inna AAalayka allaAAnata ila yawmiaddeen

The curse will be on you till the Day of Reckoning. ’

قَالَ رَبِّ فَاَنْظِرْن۪ٓي اِلٰى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

Qala rabbi faanthirneeila yawmi yubAAathoon

He said, ‘My Lord, grant me a reprieve until the Day they are raised again. ’

Qala fa-innaka mina almunthareen

He said, ‘You are among the reprieved

اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُومِ

Ila yawmi alwaqti almaAAloom

until the Day whose time is known. ’

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَٓا اَغْوَيْتَن۪ي لَاُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَلَاُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ اَجْمَع۪ينَۙ

Qala rabbi bima aghwaytaneelaozayyinanna lahum fee al-ardi walaoghwiyannahumajmaAAeen

He said, ‘My Lord, because You misled me, I will make things on the earth seem good to them and I will mislead them all, every one of them,

اِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَص۪ينَ

Illa AAibadaka minhumualmukhlaseen

except Your slaves among them who are sincere. ’

قَالَ هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ عَلَيَّ مُسْتَق۪يمٌ

Qala hatha siratunAAalayya mustaqeem

He said, ‘This is a Straight Path to Me.

اِنَّ عِبَاد۪ي لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَانٌ اِلَّا مَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْغَاو۪ينَ

Inna AAibadee laysa laka AAalayhimsultanun illa mani ittabaAAaka mina alghaween

You have no authority over any of My slaves except for the misled who follow you. ’

وَاِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ اَجْمَع۪ينَۙ

Wa-inna jahannama lamawAAiduhum ajmaAAeen

Hell is the promised meeting-place for all of them.

لَهَا سَبْعَةُ اَبْوَابٍۜ لِكُلِّ بَابٍ مِنْهُمْ جُزْءٌ مَقْسُومٌ۟

Laha sabAAatu abwabin likullibabin minhum juz-on maqsoom

It has seven gates and each gate has its allotted share.

اِنَّ الْمُتَّق۪ينَ ف۪ي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍۜ

Inna almuttaqeena fee jannatinwaAAuyoon

Those who have taqwa will be amid Gardens and Springs:

اُدْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَامٍ اٰمِن۪ينَ

Odkhulooha bisalamin amineen

‘Enter them in peace, in complete security!’

وَنَزَعْنَا مَا ف۪ي صُدُورِهِمْ مِنْ غِلٍّ اِخْوَاناً عَلٰى سُرُرٍ مُتَقَابِل۪ينَ

WanazaAAna ma fee sudoorihimmin ghillin ikhwanan AAala sururin mutaqabileen

We will strip away any rancour in their hearts – brothers, resting on couches face-to-face.

لَا يَمَسُّهُمْ ف۪يهَا نَصَبٌ وَمَا هُمْ مِنْهَا بِمُخْرَج۪ينَ

La yamassuhum feeha nasabunwama hum minha bimukhrajeen

Nabbi/ AAibadee annee anaalghafooru arraheem

Tell My slaves that I am the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful,

وَاَنَّ عَذَاب۪ي هُوَ الْعَذَابُ الْاَل۪يمُ

Waanna AAathabee huwa alAAathabual-aleem

but also that My punishment is the Painful Punishment.

وَنَبِّئْهُمْ عَنْ ضَيْفِ اِبْرٰه۪يمَۢ

Wanabbi/hum AAan dayfi ibraheem

And tell them about the guests of Ibrahim.

اِلَّٓا اٰلَ لُوطٍۜ اِنَّا لَمُنَجُّوهُمْ اَجْمَع۪ينَۙ

Illa ala lootin innalamunajjoohum ajmaAAeen

with the exception of the family of Lut, all of whom We will save,

Illa imraatahu qaddarna innahalamina alghabireen

When the Messengers came to the family of Lut,

Waataynaka bilhaqqiwa-inna lasadiqoon

We have brought you the truth and we are certainly truthful men.

فَاَسْرِ بِاَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِنَ الَّيْلِ وَاتَّبِـعْ اَدْبَارَهُمْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنْكُمْ اَحَدٌ وَامْضُوا حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُونَ

Travel with your family in the dead of night, following behind with them in front of you. None of you must look back. Go where you are ordered to.’

وَقَضَيْنَٓا اِلَيْهِ ذٰلِكَ الْاَمْرَ اَنَّ دَابِرَ هٰٓؤُ۬لَٓاءِ مَقْطُوعٌ مُصْبِح۪ينَ

LaAAamruka innahum lafee sakratihimyaAAmahoona

By your life! They were wandering blindly in their drunkenness!

فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِق۪ينَۙ

Faakhathat-humu assayhatumushriqeen

So the Great Blast seized hold of them at the break of day.

فَجَعَلْنَا عَالِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَاَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِنْ سِجّ۪يلٍۜ

FajaAAalna AAaliyaha safilahawaamtarna AAalayhim hijaratan minsijjeel

We turned the place completely upside down and rained down on them stones of hard-baked clay.

اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِلْمُتَوَسِّم۪ينَ

Inna fee thalika laayatinlilmutawassimeen

There are certainly Signs in that for the discerning.

وَاِنَّهَا لَبِسَب۪يلٍ مُق۪يمٍ

Wa-innaha labisabeelin muqeem

They were beside a road which still exists.

اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِلْمُؤْمِن۪ينَۜ

Inna fee thalika laayatanlilmu/mineen

There is certainly a Sign in that for the muminun.

وَاِنْ كَانَ اَصْحَابُ الْاَيْكَةِ لَظَالِم۪ينَۙ

Wa-in kana as-habual-aykati lathalimeen

The people of the Thicket* were also wrongdoers.

فَانْتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْۢ وَاِنَّهُمَا لَبِاِمَامٍ مُب۪ينٍۜ۟

Fantaqamna minhum wa-innahumalabi-imamin mubeen

وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ اَصْحَابُ الْحِجْرِ الْمُرْسَل۪ينَۙ

Walaqad kaththaba as-habualhijri almursaleen

The people of al-Hijr denied the Messengers.

وَاٰتَيْنَاهُمْ اٰيَاتِنَا فَكَانُوا عَنْهَا مُعْرِض۪ينَۙ

Waataynahum ayatinafakanoo AAanha muAArideen

We brought them Our Signs but they turned away from them.

وَكَانُوا يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتاً اٰمِن۪ينَ

Wakanoo yanhitoona mina aljibalibuyootan amineen

They carved out houses from the mountains, feeling safe,

فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِح۪ينَۙ

Faakhathat-humu assayhatumusbiheen

but the Great Blast seized hold of them in the morning,

فَمَٓا اَغْنٰى عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَۜ

Fama aghna AAanhum ma kanooyaksiboon

so all that they earned was of no use to them.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَٓا اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّۜ وَاِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَاٰتِيَةٌ فَاصْفَحِ الصَّفْحَ الْجَم۪يلَ

Wama khalaqna assamawatiwal-arda wama baynahuma illabilhaqqi wa-inna assaAAata laatiyatunfasfahi assafhaaljameel

We did not create the heavens and earth and everything between them, except with truth. The Hour is certainly coming, so turn away graciously.

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْخَلَّاقُ الْعَل۪يمُ

Inna rabbaka huwa alkhallaqualAAaleem

Your Lord, He is the Creator, the All-Knowing.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعاً مِنَ الْمَثَان۪ي وَالْقُرْاٰنَ الْعَظ۪يمَ

Walaqad ataynaka sabAAan minaalmathanee walqur-ana alAAatheem

We have given you the Seven Oft-repeated* and the Magnificent Qur’an.

لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ اِلٰى مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِه۪ٓ اَزْوَاجاً مِنْهُمْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ

La tamuddanna AAaynayka ila mamattaAAna bihi azwajan minhum wala tahzanAAalayhim wakhfid janahaka lilmu/mineen

Do not direct your eyes longingly to what We have given certain of them to enjoy. Do not feel sad concerning them. And take the muminun under your wing.

وَقُلْ اِنّ۪ٓي اَنَا النَّذ۪يرُ الْمُب۪ينُۚ

Waqul innee ana annatheerualmubeen

Say: ‘I am indeed a clear warner. ’

كَمَٓا اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَى الْمُقْتَسِم۪ينَۙ

Kama anzalna AAalaalmuqtasimeen

Just as We sent down punishment on the dissectors,

اَلَّذ۪ينَ جَعَلُوا الْقُرْاٰنَ عِض۪ينَ

Allatheena jaAAaloo alqur-anaAAideen

those who divide the Qur’an into little pieces.

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْـَٔلَنَّهُمْ اَجْمَع۪ينَۙ

Fawarabbika lanas-alannahum ajmaAAeen

By your Lord, We will question them all, every one of them,

عَمَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

AAamma kanoo yaAAmaloon

about what they did!

فَاصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَاَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْمُشْرِك۪ينَ

FasdaAA bima tu/maruwaaAArid AAani almushrikeen

Proclaim what you have been ordered to and turn away from the idolaters.

اِنَّا كَفَيْنَاكَ الْمُسْتَهْزِء۪ينَۙ

Inna kafaynaka almustahzi-een

We are enough for you against the mockers,

اَلَّذ۪ينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهاً اٰخَرَۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

Allatheena yajAAaloona maAAa Allahiilahan akhara fasawfa yaAAlamoon

those who set up another god beside Allah. They will soon know!

وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ اَنَّكَ يَض۪يقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَۙ

Walaqad naAAlamu annaka yadeequ sadrukabima yaqooloon

We know that your breast is constricted by what they say.

فَسَبِّـحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُنْ مِنَ السَّاجِد۪ينَۙ

Fasabbih bihamdi rabbika wakunmina assajideen

So glorify your Lord with praise and be one of the prostrators.

وَاعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتّٰى يَأْتِيَكَ الْيَق۪ينُ

WaAAbud rabbaka hattaya/tiyaka alyaqeen

And worship your Lord until what is Certain comes to you.
