10. Surah Yunus Jonas

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

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

الٓـرٰ۠ تِلْكَ اٰيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْحَك۪يمِ

Alif-lam-ra tilka ayatualkitabi alhakeem

Alif Lam Ra Those are the Signs of the Wise Book.

اَكَانَ لِلنَّاسِ عَجَباً اَنْ اَوْحَيْنَٓا اِلٰى رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ اَنْ اَنْذِرِ النَّاسَ وَبَشِّرِ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اَنَّ لَهُمْ قَدَمَ صِدْقٍ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْۜ قَالَ الْكَافِرُونَ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَسَاحِرٌ مُب۪ينٌ

Akana linnasi AAajabanan awhayna ila rajulin minhum an anthiriannasa wabashshiri allatheena amanooanna lahum qadama sidqin AAinda rabbihim qala alkafiroonainna hatha lasahirun mubeen

Do people find it so surprising that We should reveal to a man among them: ‘Warn mankind and give good news to those who have iman that they are on a sure footing with their Lord’? The kafirun say, ‘This is downright magic!’

اِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ي خَلَقَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ ف۪ي سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يُدَبِّرُ الْاَمْرَۜ مَا مِنْ شَف۪يعٍ اِلَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ اِذْنِه۪ۜ ذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوهُۜ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Inna rabbakumu Allahu allatheekhalaqa assamawati wal-ardafee sittati ayyamin thumma istawa AAalaalAAarshi yudabbiru al-amra ma min shafeeAAin illamin baAAdi ithnihi thalikumu Allahu rabbukumfaAAbudoohu afala tathakkaroon

Your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself firmly on the Throne. He directs the whole affair. No one can intercede except with His permission. That is Allah your Lord, so worship Him. Will you not pay heed?

اِلَيْهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ جَم۪يعاًۜ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقاًّۜ اِنَّهُ يَبْدَؤُا الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُع۪يدُهُ لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ بِالْقِسْطِۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لَهُمْ شَرَابٌ مِنْ حَم۪يمٍ وَعَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْفُرُونَ

Ilayhi marjiAAukum jameeAAan waAAda Allahihaqqan innahu yabdao alkhalqa thumma yuAAeeduhu liyajziyaallatheena amanoo waAAamiloo assalihatibilqisti wallatheena kafaroo lahumsharabun min hameemin waAAathabun aleemunbima kanoo yakfuroon

Each and every one of you will return to Him. Allah’s promise is true. He brings creation out of nothing and then regenerates it so that he can repay with justice those who had iman and did right actions. Those who were kafir will have a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment because of their kufr.

هُوَ الَّذ۪ي جَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ ضِيَٓاءً وَالْقَمَرَ نُوراً وَقَدَّرَهُ مَنَازِلَ لِتَعْلَمُوا عَدَدَ السِّن۪ينَ وَالْحِسَابَۜ مَا خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ ذٰلِكَ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّۜ يُفَصِّلُ الْاٰيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ

Huwa allathee jaAAala ashshamsadiyaan walqamara nooran waqaddarahu manazilalitaAAlamoo AAadada assineena walhisabama khalaqa Allahu thalika illa bilhaqqiyufassilu al-ayati liqawmin yaAAlamoon

It is He who appointed the sun to give radiance, and the moon to give light, assigning it phases so you would know the number of years and the reckoning of time. Allah did not create these things except with truth. We make the Signs clear for people who know.

اِنَّ فِي اخْتِلَافِ الَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَمَا خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَّقُونَ

Inna fee ikhtilafi allayli wannahariwama khalaqa Allahu fee assamawatiwal-ardi laayatin liqawmin yattaqoon

In the alternation of night and day and what Allah has created in the heavens and the earth there are Signs for people who have taqwa.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَٓاءَنَا وَرَضُوا بِالْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَاطْمَاَنُّوا بِهَا وَالَّذ۪ينَ هُمْ عَنْ اٰيَاتِنَا غَافِلُونَۙ

Inna allatheena la yarjoona liqaanawaradoo bilhayati addunyawatmaannoo biha wallatheenahum AAan ayatina ghafiloon

As for those who do not expect to meet Us and are content with the life of the dunya and at rest in it, and those who are heedless of Our Signs,

اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ مَأْوٰيهُمُ النَّارُ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

Ola-ika ma/wahumu annarubima kanoo yaksiboon

their shelter will be the Fire because of what they earned.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ يَهْد۪يهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ بِا۪يمَانِهِمْۚ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهِمُ الْاَنْهَارُ ف۪ي جَنَّاتِ النَّع۪يمِ

Inna allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati yahdeehim rabbuhumbi-eemanihim tajree min tahtihimu al-anharufee jannati annaAAeem

But as for those who have iman and do right actions, their Lord will guide them by their iman. Rivers will flow under them in Gardens of Delight.

دَعْوٰيهُمْ ف۪يهَا سُبْحَانَكَ اللّٰهُمَّ وَتَحِيَّتُهُمْ ف۪يهَا سَلَامٌۚ وَاٰخِرُ دَعْوٰيهُمْ اَنِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَم۪ينَ۟

DaAAwahum feeha subhanakaallahumma watahiyyatuhum feeha salamunwaakhiru daAAwahum ani alhamdu lillahirabbi alAAalameen

Their call there is: ‘Glory be to You, O Allah!’ Their greeting there is: ‘Peace!’ The end of their call is: ‘Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds!’

وَلَوْ يُعَجِّلُ اللّٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ الشَّرَّ اسْتِعْجَالَهُمْ بِالْخَيْرِ لَقُضِيَ اِلَيْهِمْ اَجَلُهُمْۜ فَنَذَرُ الَّذ۪ينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَٓاءَنَا ف۪ي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ

Walaw yuAAajjilu Allahu linnasiashsharra istiAAjalahum bilkhayri laqudiyailayhim ajaluhum fanatharu allatheena layarjoona liqaana fee tughyanihimyaAAmahoon

If Allah were to hasten evil for people the way they try to hasten good, their term would already have been completed for them. We abandon those who do not expect to meet Us to wander blindly in their excessive insolence.

وَاِذَا مَسَّ الْاِنْسَانَ الضُّرُّ دَعَانَا لِجَنْبِه۪ٓ اَوْ قَاعِداً اَوْ قَٓائِماًۚ فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُ ضُرَّهُ مَرَّ كَاَنْ لَمْ يَدْعُنَٓا اِلٰى ضُرٍّ مَسَّهُۜ كَذٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِلْمُسْرِف۪ينَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

Wa-itha massa al-insana addurrudaAAana lijanbihi aw qaAAidan aw qa-imanfalamma kashafna AAanhu durrahu marra kaanlam yadAAuna ila durrin massahu kathalikazuyyina lilmusrifeena ma kanoo yaAAmaloon

When harm touches man, he calls on Us, lying on his side or sitting down or standing up. Then when We remove the harm from him he carries on as if he had never called on Us when the harm first touched him. In that way We make what they have done appear good to the profligate.

وَلَقَدْ اَهْلَكْنَا الْقُرُونَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ لَمَّا ظَلَمُواۙ وَجَٓاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَمَا كَانُوا لِيُؤْمِنُواۜ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْقَوْمَ الْمُجْرِم۪ينَ

Walaqad ahlakna alquroona minqablikum lamma thalamoo wajaat-humrusuluhum bilbayyinati wama kanooliyu/minoo kathalika najzee alqawma almujrimeen

We destroyed generations before you when they did wrong. Their Messengers brought them the Clear Signs, but they were never going to have iman. That is how We repay evildoers.

ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ خَلَٓائِفَ فِي الْاَرْضِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ لِنَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ

Thumma jaAAalnakum khala-ifafee al-ardi min baAAdihim linanthura kayfataAAmaloon

Then We appointed you after them to be khalifs on the earth so We might observe how you would act.

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيَاتُنَا بَيِّنَاتٍۙ قَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَٓاءَنَا ائْتِ بِقُرْاٰنٍ غَيْرِ هٰذَٓا اَوْ بَدِّلْهُۜ قُلْ مَا يَكُونُ ل۪ٓي اَنْ اُبَدِّلَهُ مِنْ تِلْقَٓائِ۬ نَفْس۪يۚ اِنْ اَتَّبِعُ اِلَّا مَا يُوحٰٓى اِلَيَّۚ اِنّ۪ٓي اَخَافُ اِنْ عَصَيْتُ رَبّ۪ي عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظ۪يمٍ

Wa-itha tutla AAalayhim ayatunabayyinatin qala allatheena layarjoona liqaana i/ti biqur-anin ghayri hathaaw baddilhu qul ma yakoonu lee an obaddilahu min tilqa-inafsee in attabiAAu illa ma yooha ilayyainnee akhafu in AAasaytu rabbee AAathabayawmin AAatheem

When Our Clear Signs are recited to them, those who do not expect to meet Us say, ‘Bring a Qur’an other than this one or change it. ’ Say: ‘It is not for me to change it of my own accord. I follow nothing except what is revealed to me. I fear, were I to disobey my Lord, the punishment of a Dreadful Day.’

قُلْ لَوْ شَٓاءَ اللّٰهُ مَا تَلَوْتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَٓا اَدْرٰيكُمْ بِه۪ۘ فَقَدْ لَبِثْتُ ف۪يكُمْ عُمُراً مِنْ قَبْلِه۪ۜ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

Qul law shaa Allahu matalawtuhu AAalaykum wala adrakum bihi faqadlabithtu feekum AAumuran min qablihi afala taAAqiloon

Say: ‘Had Allah so wished, I would not have recited it to you nor would He have made it known to you. I lived among you for many years before it came. Will you not use your intellect?’

فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِباً اَوْ كَذَّبَ بِاٰيَاتِه۪ۜ اِنَّهُ لَا يُفْلِحُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ

Faman athlamu mimmani iftaraAAala Allahi kathiban aw kaththababi-ayatihi innahu la yuflihualmujrimoon

Who could do greater wrong than someone who invents lies against Allah or denies His Signs? Evildoers are certainly not successful.

وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلَا يَنْفَعُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ هٰٓؤُ۬لَٓاءِ شُفَعَٓاؤُ۬نَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِۜ قُلْ اَتُنَبِّؤُ۫نَ اللّٰهَ بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَلَا فِي الْاَرْضِۜ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالٰى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

WayaAAbudoona min dooni Allahi mala yadurruhum wala yanfaAAuhum wayaqooloonahaola-i shufaAAaona AAinda Allahiqul atunabbi-oona Allaha bima la yaAAlamufee assamawati wala fee al-ardisubhanahu wataAAala AAamma yushrikoon

They worship, instead of Allah, what can neither harm them nor help them, saying, ‘These are our intercessors with Allah. ’ Say: ‘Would you inform Allah of something about which He does not know either in the heavens or on the earth?’ May He be glorified and exalted above what they associate with Him!

وَمَا كَانَ النَّاسُ اِلَّٓا اُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَاخْتَلَفُواۜ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ ف۪يمَا ف۪يهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ

Wama kana annasuilla ommatan wahidatan fakhtalafoo walawlakalimatun sabaqat min rabbika laqudiya baynahum feemafeehi yakhtalifoon

Mankind was only one community but then they differed, and had it not been for a prior Word from your Lord, they would already have been judged in respect of the differences between them.

وَيَقُولُونَ لَوْلَٓا اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ اٰيَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّه۪ۚ فَقُلْ اِنَّمَا الْغَيْبُ لِلّٰهِ فَانْتَظِرُواۚ اِنّ۪ي مَعَكُمْ مِنَ الْمُنْتَظِر۪ينَ۟

Wayaqooloona lawla onzila AAalayhi ayatunmin rabbihi faqul innama alghaybu lillahi fantathirooinnee maAAakum mina almuntathireen

They say, ‘Why has a Sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say: ‘The Unseen belongs to Allah alone. So wait, I am waiting with you.’

وَاِذَٓا اَذَقْنَا النَّاسَ رَحْمَةً مِنْ بَعْدِ ضَرَّٓاءَ مَسَّتْهُمْ اِذَا لَهُمْ مَكْرٌ ف۪ٓي اٰيَاتِنَاۜ قُلِ اللّٰهُ اَسْرَعُ مَكْراًۜ اِنَّ رُسُلَنَا يَكْتُبُونَ مَا تَمْكُرُونَ

Wa-itha athaqna annasarahmatan min baAAdi darraa massat-hum ithalahum makrun fee ayatina quli AllahuasraAAu makran inna rusulana yaktuboona matamkuroon

When We let people taste mercy after hardship has afflicted them, immediately they plot against Our Signs. Say: ‘Allah is swifter at plotting.’ Your plotting is recorded by Our messengers.

هُوَ الَّذ۪ي يُسَيِّرُكُمْ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا كُنْتُمْ فِي الْفُلْكِۚ وَجَرَيْنَ بِهِمْ بِر۪يحٍ طَيِّبَةٍ وَفَرِحُوا بِهَا جَٓاءَتْهَا ر۪يحٌ عَاصِفٌ وَجَٓاءَهُمُ الْمَوْجُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَظَنُّٓوا اَنَّهُمْ اُح۪يطَ بِهِمْۙ دَعَوُا اللّٰهَ مُخْلِص۪ينَ لَهُ الدّ۪ينَۚ لَئِنْ اَنْجَيْتَنَا مِنْ هٰذِه۪ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِر۪ينَ

It is He who conveys you on both land and sea so that when some of you are on a boat, running before a fair wind, rejoicing at it, and then a violent squall comes upon them and the waves come at them from every side and they realise there is no way of escape, they call on Allah, making their deen sincerely His: ‘If You rescue us from this, we will truly be among the thankful. ’

فَلَمَّٓا اَنْجٰيهُمْ اِذَا هُمْ يَبْغُونَ فِي الْاَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّۜ يَٓا اَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنَّمَا بَغْيُكُمْ عَلٰٓى اَنْفُسِكُمْۙ مَتَاعَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ اِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَنُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

But then, when He does rescue them, they become rebellious in the earth without any right to do so. Mankind, your rebelliousness is only against yourselves. There is the enjoyment of the life of this world and then you will return to Us and We will inform you about what you did.

اِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَٓاءٍ اَنْزَلْنَاهُ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِه۪ نَبَاتُ الْاَرْضِ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ النَّاسُ وَالْاَنْعَامُۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَٓا اَخَذَتِ الْاَرْضُ زُخْرُفَهَا وَازَّيَّـنَتْ وَظَنَّ اَهْلُهَٓا اَنَّهُمْ قَادِرُونَ عَلَيْهَٓاۙ اَتٰيهَٓا اَمْرُنَا لَيْلاً اَوْ نَهَاراً فَجَعَلْنَاهَا حَص۪يداً كَاَنْ لَمْ تَغْنَ بِالْاَمْسِۜ كَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْاٰيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

The metaphor of the life of this world is that of water which We send down from the sky, and which then mingles with the plants of the earth to provide food for both people and animals. Then, when the earth is at its loveliest and takes on its fairest guise and its people think they have it under their control, Our command comes upon it by night or day and We reduce it to dried-out stubble, as though it had not been flourishing just the day before! In this way We make Our Signs clear for people who reflect.

وَاللّٰهُ يَدْعُٓوا اِلٰى دَارِ السَّلَامِۜ وَيَهْد۪ي مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَق۪يمٍ

Wallahu yadAAoo ila dariassalami wayahdee man yashao ila siratinmustaqeem

Allah calls to the Abode of Peace and He guides whom He wills to a straight path.

لِلَّذ۪ينَ اَحْسَنُوا الْحُسْنٰى وَزِيَادَةٌۜ وَلَا يَرْهَقُ وُجُوهَهُمْ قَتَرٌ وَلَا ذِلَّةٌۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ اَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِۚ هُمْ ف۪يهَا خَالِدُونَ

Lillatheena ahsanoo alhusnawaziyadatun wala yarhaqu wujoohahum qatarun walathillatun ola-ika as-habu aljannatihum feeha khalidoon

Those who do good will have the best and more! Neither dust nor debasement will darken their faces. They are the Companions of the Garden, remaining in it timelessly, for ever.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ كَسَبُوا السَّيِّـَٔاتِ جَزَٓاءُ سَيِّئَةٍ بِمِثْلِهَاۙ وَتَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌۜ مَا لَهُمْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ عَاصِمٍۚ كَاَنَّـمَٓا اُغْشِيَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ قِطَعاً مِنَ الَّيْلِ مُظْلِماًۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ اَصْحَابُ النَّارِۚ هُمْ ف۪يهَا خَالِدُونَ

But as for those who have earned bad actions – a bad action will be repaid with one the like of it. Debasement will darken them. They will have no one to protect them from Allah. It is as if their faces were covered by dark patches of the night. Those are the Companions of the Fire, remaining in it timelessly, for ever.

وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَم۪يعاً ثُمَّ نَقُولُ لِلَّذ۪ينَ اَشْرَكُوا مَكَانَكُمْ اَنْتُمْ وَشُرَكَٓاؤُ۬كُمْۚ فَزَيَّلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَقَالَ شُرَكَٓاؤُ۬هُمْ مَا كُنْتُمْ اِيَّانَا تَعْبُدُونَ

Wayawma nahshuruhum jameeAAan thummanaqoolu lillatheena ashrakoo makanakum antumwashurakaokum fazayyalna baynahum waqalashurakaohum ma kuntum iyyanataAAbudoon

On the Day We gather them all together, We will say then to those who associated others with Allah, ‘To your place, you and your partner-gods!’ Then We will sift them out, and their partner-gods will say, ‘It was not us you worshipped.

فَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ شَه۪يداً بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ اِنْ كُنَّا عَنْ عِبَادَتِكُمْ لَغَافِل۪ينَ

Fakafa billahishaheedan baynana wabaynakum in kunna AAan AAibadatikumlaghafileen

Allah is a sufficient witness between us and you. We were unaware of your worship.’

هُنَالِكَ تَبْلُوا كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَٓا اَسْلَفَتْ وَرُدُّٓوا اِلَى اللّٰهِ مَوْلٰيهُمُ الْحَقِّ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ۟

Hunalika tabloo kullu nafsin maaslafat waruddoo ila Allahi mawlahumu alhaqqiwadalla AAanhum ma kanoo yaftaroon

Then and there every self will be tried for what it did before. They will be returned to Allah, their Master, the Real, and what they invented will abandon them.

قُلْ مَنْ يَرْزُقُكُمْ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ وَالْاَرْضِ اَمَّنْ يَمْلِكُ السَّمْعَ وَالْاَبْصَارَ وَمَنْ يُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَيُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ وَمَنْ يُدَبِّرُ الْاَمْرَۜ فَسَيَقُولُونَ اللّٰهُۚ فَقُلْ اَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

Say: ‘Who provides for you out of heaven and earth? Who controls hearing and sight? Who brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living? Who directs the whole affair?’ They will say, ‘Allah. ’ Say, ‘So will you not have taqwa?’

فَذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبُّكُمُ الْحَقُّۚ فَمَاذَا بَعْدَ الْحَقِّ اِلَّا الضَّلَالُۚ فَاَنّٰى تُصْرَفُونَ

Fathalikumu Allahu rabbukumualhaqqu famatha baAAda alhaqqi illa addalalufaanna tusrafoon

That is Allah, your Lord, the Truth, and what is there after truth except misguidance? So how have you been distracted?

كَذٰلِكَ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى الَّذ۪ينَ فَسَقُٓوا اَنَّهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Kathalika haqqat kalimaturabbika AAala allatheena fasaqoo annahum layu/minoon

In that way the Word of your Lord is realised against those who are deviators, in that they do not have iman.

قُلْ هَلْ مِنْ شُرَكَٓائِكُمْ مَنْ يَبْدَؤُا الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُع۪يدُهُۜ قُلِ اللّٰهُ يَبْدَؤُا الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُع۪يدُهُ فَاَنّٰى تُؤْفَكُونَ

Qul hal min shuraka-ikum man yabdaoalkhalqa thumma yuAAeeduhu quli Allahu yabdao alkhalqathumma yuAAeeduhu faanna tu/fakoon

Say: ‘Can any of your partner-gods bring creation out of nothing and then regenerate it?’ Say: ‘Allah brings creation out of nothing and then regenerates it. So how have you been perverted?’

قُلْ هَلْ مِنْ شُرَكَٓائِكُمْ مَنْ يَهْد۪ٓي اِلَى الْحَقِّۜ قُلِ اللّٰهُ يَهْد۪ي لِلْحَقِّۜ اَفَمَنْ يَهْد۪ٓي اِلَى الْحَقِّ اَحَقُّ اَنْ يُتَّبَعَ اَمَّنْ لَا يَهِدّ۪ٓي اِلَّٓا اَنْ يُهْدٰىۚ فَمَا لَكُمْ۠ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ

Qul hal min shuraka-ikum man yahdeeila alhaqqi quli Allahu yahdee lilhaqqiafaman yahdee ila alhaqqi ahaqqu anyuttabaAAa amman la yahiddee illa an yuhdafama lakum kayfa tahkumoon

Say: ‘Can any of your partner-gods guide to the truth?’ Say: ‘Allah guides to the truth. Who has more right to be followed – He who guides to the truth, or he who cannot guide unless he is guided? What is the matter with you? How do you reach your judgement?’

وَمَا يَتَّبِعُ اَكْثَرُهُمْ اِلَّا ظَناًّۜ اِنَّ الظَّنَّ لَا يُغْن۪ي مِنَ الْحَقِّ شَيْـٔاًۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَل۪يمٌ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ

Wama yattabiAAu aktharuhum illathannan inna aththanna layughnee mina alhaqqi shay-an inna Allaha AAaleemunbima yafAAaloon

Most of them follow nothing but conjecture. Conjecture is of no use whatsoever against the truth. Allah most certainly knows what they are doing.

وَمَا كَانَ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنُ اَنْ يُفْتَرٰى مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ وَلٰكِنْ تَصْد۪يقَ الَّذ۪ي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَفْص۪يلَ الْكِتَابِ لَا رَيْبَ ف۪يهِ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَم۪ينَ۠

Wama kana hatha alqur-anuan yuftara min dooni Allahi walakin tasdeeqaallathee bayna yadayhi watafseela alkitabi larayba feehi min rabbi alAAalameen

This Qur’an could never have been devised by any besides Allah. Rather it is confirmation of what came before it and an elucidation of the Book which contains no doubt from the Lord of all the worlds.

اَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرٰيهُۜ قُلْ فَأْتُوا بِسُورَةٍ مِثْلِه۪ وَادْعُوا مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِق۪ينَ

Am yaqooloona iftarahu qul fa/toobisooratin mithlihi wadAAoo mani istataAAtum mindooni Allahi in kuntum sadiqeen

Do they say, ‘He has invented it’? Say: ‘Then produce a sura like it and call on anyone you can besides Allah if you are telling the truth. ’

بَلْ كَذَّبُوا بِمَا لَمْ يُح۪يطُوا بِعِلْمِه۪ وَلَمَّا يَأْتِهِمْ تَأْو۪يلُهُۜ كَذٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الظَّالِم۪ينَ

Bal kaththaboo bima lam yuheetoobiAAilmihi walamma ya/tihim ta/weeluhu kathalika kaththabaallatheena min qablihim fanthurkayfa kana AAaqibatu aththalimeen

No, the fact is that they have denied something which their knowledge does not embrace and the meaning of which has not yet reached them. In the same way those before them also denied the truth. See the final fate of the wrongdoers!

وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِه۪ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِه۪ۜ وَرَبُّكَ اَعْلَمُ بِالْمُفْسِد۪ينَ۟

Waminhum man yu/minu bihi waminhum man layu/minu bihi warabbuka aAAlamu bilmufsideen

Among them there are some who have iman in it and some who do not. Your Lord best knows the corrupters.

وَاِنْ كَذَّبُوكَ فَقُلْ ل۪ي عَمَل۪ي وَلَكُمْ عَمَلُكُمْۚ اَنْتُمْ بَر۪ٓيؤُ۫نَ مِمَّٓا اَعْمَلُ وَاَنَا۬ بَر۪ٓيءٌ مِمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

Wa-in kaththabooka faqul lee AAamaleewalakum AAamalukum antum baree-oona mimma aAAmalu waanabaree-on mimma taAAmaloon

If they deny you, say, ‘I have my actions and you have your actions. You are not responsible for what I do and I am not responsible for what you do.’

وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَسْتَمِعُونَ اِلَيْكَۜ اَفَاَنْتَ تُسْمِـعُ الصُّمَّ وَلَوْ كَانُوا لَا يَعْقِلُونَ

Waminhum man yastamiAAoona ilayka afaantatusmiAAu assumma walaw kanoo layaAAqiloon

Among them there are some who listen to you. But can you make the deaf hear even though they cannot understand?

وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْظُرُ اِلَيْكَۜ اَفَاَنْتَ تَهْدِي الْعُمْيَ وَلَوْ كَانُوا لَا يُبْصِرُونَ

Waminhum man yanthuru ilaykaafaanta tahdee alAAumya walaw kanoo la yubsiroon

Among them there are some who look at you. But can you guide the blind, even though they cannot see?

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ النَّاسَ شَيْـٔاً وَلٰكِنَّ النَّاسَ اَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

Inna Allaha la yathlimuannasa shay-an walakinna annasaanfusahum yathlimoon

Allah does not wrong people in any way; rather it is people who wrong themselves.

وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ كَاَنْ لَمْ يَلْبَثُٓوا اِلَّا سَاعَةً مِنَ النَّهَارِ يَتَعَارَفُونَ بَيْنَهُمْۜ قَدْ خَسِرَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَذَّبُوا بِلِقَٓاءِ اللّٰهِ وَمَا كَانُوا مُهْتَد۪ينَ

Wayawma yahshuruhum kaan lamyalbathoo illa saAAatan mina annahariyataAAarafoona baynahum qad khasira allatheena kaththaboobiliqa-i Allahi wama kanoo muhtadeen

On the day We gather them together – when it will seem if they had tarried no more than an hour of a single day – they will recognise one another. Those who denied the meeting with Allah will have lost. They were not guided.

وَاِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ الَّذ۪ي نَعِدُهُمْ اَوْ نَتَوَفَّـيَنَّكَ فَاِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ ثُمَّ اللّٰهُ شَه۪يدٌ عَلٰى مَا يَفْعَلُونَ

Wa-imma nuriyannaka baAAdaallathee naAAiduhum aw natawaffayannaka fa-ilaynamarjiAAuhum thumma Allahu shaheedun AAala mayafAAaloon

Whether We show you something of what We have promised them or take you back to Us, they will still return to Us. Then Allah will be witness against what they are doing.

وَلِكُلِّ اُمَّةٍ رَسُولٌۚ فَاِذَا جَٓاءَ رَسُولُهُمْ قُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

Walikulli ommatin rasoolun fa-itha jaarasooluhum qudiya baynahum bilqisti wahum layuthlamoon

Every nation has a Messenger and when their Messenger comes everything is decided between them justly. They are not wronged.

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِق۪ينَ

Wayaqooloona mata hathaalwaAAdu in kuntum sadiqeen

They say, ‘When will this promise be kept if you are telling the truth?’

قُلْ لَٓا اَمْلِكُ لِنَفْس۪ي ضَراًّ وَلَا نَفْعاً اِلَّا مَا شَٓاءَ اللّٰهُۜ لِكُلِّ اُمَّةٍ اَجَلٌۜ اِذَا جَٓاءَ اَجَلُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ

Qul la amliku linafsee darranwala nafAAan illa ma shaa Allahulikulli ommatin ajalun itha jaa ajaluhum falayasta/khiroona saAAatan wala yastaqdimoon

Say: ‘I possess no power to harm or help myself except as Allah wills. Every nation has an appointed time. When their appointed time comes, they cannot delay it a single hour or bring it forward.’

قُلْ اَرَاَيْتُمْ اِنْ اَتٰيكُمْ عَذَابُهُ بَيَاتاً اَوْ نَهَاراً مَاذَا يَسْتَعْجِلُ مِنْهُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ

Qul araaytum in atakum AAathabuhubayatan aw naharan matha yastaAAjilu minhualmujrimoon

Say: ‘What do you think? If His punishment came upon you by night or day, what part of it would the evildoers then try to hasten?'

اَثُمَّ اِذَا مَا وَقَعَ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِه۪ۜ آٰلْـٰٔنَ وَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ بِه۪ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

Athumma itha ma waqaAAa amantumbihi al-ana waqad kuntum bihi tastaAAjiloon

And then, when it actually comes about: ‘Now do you have iman in it? It was this that you were trying to hasten!’

ثُمَّ ق۪يلَ لِلَّذ۪ينَ ظَلَمُوا ذُوقُوا عَذَابَ الْخُلْدِۚ هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ اِلَّا بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْسِبُونَ

Thumma qeela lillatheena thalamoothooqoo AAathaba alkhuldi hal tujzawna illabima kuntum taksiboon

Then it will be said to those who did wrong, ‘Taste the punishment of eternity! Have you been repaid for anything other than what you earned?’

وَيَسْتَنْبِـؤُ۫نَكَ اَحَقٌّ هُوَۜ قُلْ ا۪ي وَرَبّ۪ٓي اِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ وَمَٓا اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِز۪ينَ۟

Wayastanbi-oonaka ahaqqun huwa qul eewarabbee innahu lahaqqun wama antum bimuAAjizeen

They will ask you to tell them if this is true. Say: ‘Yes indeed, by my Lord, it certainly is true and you can do nothing to prevent it.’

وَلَوْ اَنَّ لِكُلِّ نَفْسٍ ظَلَمَتْ مَا فِي الْاَرْضِ لَافْتَدَتْ بِه۪ۜ وَاَسَرُّوا النَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَاَوُا الْعَذَابَۚ وَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

Walaw anna likulli nafsin thalamatma fee al-ardi laftadat bihi waasarroo annadamatalamma raawoo alAAathaba waqudiya baynahum bilqistiwahum la yuthlamoon

If every self that did wrong possessed everything on earth, it would offer it as a ransom. They will show remorse when they see the punishment. Everything will be decided between them justly. They will not be wronged.

اَلَٓا اِنَّ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ اَلَٓا اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Ala inna lillahi ma feeassamawati wal-ardi alainna waAAda Allahi haqqun walakinnaaktharahum la yaAAlamoon

Yes, everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Allah. Yes, Allah’s promise is true but most of them do not know it.

هُوَ يُحْـي۪ وَيُم۪يتُ وَاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

Huwa yuhyee wayumeetu wa-ilayhiturjaAAoon

He gives life and causes to die and you will be returned to Him.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَٓاءَتْكُمْ مَوْعِظَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَشِفَٓاءٌ لِمَا فِي الصُّدُورِ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Ya ayyuha annasuqad jaatkum mawAAithatun min rabbikum washifaonlima fee assudoori wahudan warahmatunlilmu/mineen

Mankind! admonition has come to you from your Lord and also healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the muminun.

قُلْ بِفَضْلِ اللّٰهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِه۪ فَبِذٰلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُواۜ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ

Qul bifadli Allahi wabirahmatihifabithalika falyafrahoo huwa khayrun mimmayajmaAAoon

Say: ‘It is the favour of Allah and His mercy that should be the cause of their rejoicing. That is better than anything they accumulate.’

قُلْ اَرَاَيْتُمْ مَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ مِنْ رِزْقٍ فَجَعَلْتُمْ مِنْهُ حَرَاماً وَحَلَالاًۜ قُلْ آٰللّٰهُ اَذِنَ لَكُمْ اَمْ عَلَى اللّٰهِ تَفْتَرُونَ

Qul araaytum ma anzala Allahulakum min rizqin fajaAAaltum minhu haraman wahalalanqul allahu athina lakum am AAala Allahitaftaroon

Say: ‘What do you think about the things Allah has sent down to you as provision which you have then designated as halal and haram?’ Say: ‘Has Allah given you authority to do this or are you inventing lies against Allah?’

وَمَا ظَنُّ الَّذ۪ينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ الْكَذِبَ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ۟

Wama thannu allatheenayaftaroona AAala Allahi alkathiba yawmaalqiyamati inna Allaha lathoo fadlinAAala annasi walakinna aktharahum layashkuroon

What will those who invent lies against Allah think on the Day of Rising? Allah shows favour to mankind but most of them are not thankful.

وَمَا تَكُونُ ف۪ي شَأْنٍ وَمَا تَتْلُوا مِنْهُ مِنْ قُرْاٰنٍ وَلَا تَعْمَلُونَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ اِلَّا كُنَّا عَلَيْكُمْ شُهُوداً اِذْ تُف۪يضُونَ ف۪يهِۜ وَمَا يَعْزُبُ عَنْ رَبِّكَ مِنْ مِثْقَالِ ذَرَّةٍ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَٓاءِ وَلَٓا اَصْغَرَ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ وَلَٓا اَكْبَرَ اِلَّا ف۪ي كِتَابٍ مُب۪ينٍ

You do not engage in any matter or recite any of the Qur’an or do any action without Our witnessing you while you are occupied with it. Not even the smallest speck eludes your Lord, either on earth or in heaven. Nor is there anything smaller than that, or larger, which is not in a Clear Book.

اَلَٓا اِنَّ اَوْلِيَٓاءَ اللّٰهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَۚ

Ala inna awliyaa Allahila khawfun AAalayhim wala hum yahzanoon

Yes, the friends of Allah will feel no fear and will know no sorrow:

اَلَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَكَانُوا يَتَّقُونَۜ

Allatheena amanoo wakanooyattaqoon

those who have iman and show taqwa,

لَهُمُ الْبُشْرٰى فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الْاٰخِرَةِۜ لَا تَبْد۪يلَ لِكَلِمَاتِ اللّٰهِۜ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظ۪يمُۜ

Lahumu albushra fee alhayatiaddunya wafee al-akhirati latabdeela likalimati Allahi thalika huwaalfawzu alAAatheem

there is good news for them in the life of this world and in the Next World. There is no changing the words of Allah. That is the great victory!

وَلَا يَحْزُنْكَ قَوْلُهُمْۢ اِنَّ الْعِزَّةَ لِلّٰهِ جَم۪يعاًۜ هُوَ السَّم۪يعُ الْعَل۪يمُ

Wala yahzunka qawluhum innaalAAizzata lillahi jameeAAan huwa assameeAAualAAaleem

Do not be grieved by what they say. All might belongs to Allah. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

اَلَٓا اِنَّ لِلّٰهِ مَنْ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الْاَرْضِۜ وَمَا يَتَّبِعُ الَّذ۪ينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ شُرَكَٓاءَۜ اِنْ يَتَّبِعُونَ اِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَاِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ

Ala inna lillahi man fee assamawatiwaman fee al-ardi wama yattabiAAu allatheenayadAAoona min dooni Allahi shurakaa inyattabiAAoona illa aththanna wa-inhum illa yakhrusoon

Yes, indeed! Everyone in the heavens and everyone on the earth belongs to Allah. Those who call on something other than Allah are not really following their partner-gods. They are only following conjecture. They are only guessing.

هُوَ الَّذ۪ي جَعَلَ لَـكُمُ الَّيْلَ لِتَسْكُنُوا ف۪يهِ وَالنَّهَارَ مُبْصِراًۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ

Huwa allathee jaAAala lakumu allaylalitaskunoo feehi wannahara mubsiran innafee thalika laayatin liqawmin yasmaAAoon

It is He who appointed the night for you, so that you could rest in it, and the day for seeing. There are certainly Signs in that for people who listen.

قَالُوا اتَّخَذَ اللّٰهُ وَلَداً سُبْحَانَهُۜ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّۜ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْاَرْضِۜ اِنْ عِنْدَ‌كُمْ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ بِهٰذَاۜ اَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

Qaloo ittakhatha Allahuwaladan subhanahu huwa alghaniyyu lahu ma fee assamawatiwama fee al-ardi in AAindakum min sultaninbihatha ataqooloona AAala Allahi ma lataAAlamoon

They say, ‘Allah has a son. ’ Glory be to Him! He is the Rich Beyond Need. Everything in the heavens and everything on the earth belongs to Him. Have you authority to say this or are you saying about Allah what you do not know?

قُلْ اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ الْكَذِبَ لَا يُفْلِحُونَۜ

Qul inna allatheena yaftaroona AAalaAllahi alkathiba la yuflihoon

Say: ‘People who invent lies against Allah will not be successful. ’

مَتَاعٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ اِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ ثُمَّ نُذ۪يقُهُمُ الْعَذَابَ الشَّد۪يدَ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْفُرُونَ۟

MataAAun fee addunyathumma ilayna marjiAAuhum thumma nutheequhumu alAAathabaashshadeeda bima kanoo yakfuroon

There is the enjoyment of this world. Then they will return to Us. Then We will let them taste the terrible punishment because they were kafir.

وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَاَ نُوحٍۢ اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِه۪ يَا قَوْمِ اِنْ كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَقَام۪ي وَتَذْك۪ير۪ي بِاٰيَاتِ اللّٰهِ فَعَلَى اللّٰهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَاَجْمِعُٓوا اَمْرَكُمْ وَشُرَكَٓاءَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُنْ اَمْرُكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ غُمَّةً ثُمَّ اقْضُٓوا اِلَيَّ وَلَا تُنْظِرُونِ

Recite to them the story of Nuh when he said to his people, ‘My people, if my standing here and reminding you of Allah’s Signs has become too much for you to bear, know that I have put my trust in Allah. So decide, you and your gods, on what you want to do and be open about it. Do with me whatever you decide and do not keep me waiting.

فَاِنْ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَمَا سَاَلْتُكُمْ مِنْ اَجْرٍۜ اِنْ اَجْرِيَ اِلَّا عَلَى اللّٰهِۙ وَاُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِم۪ينَ

Fa-in tawallaytum fama saaltukum minajrin in ajriya illa AAala Allahi waomirtuan akoona mina almuslimeen

If you turn your backs, I have not asked you for any wage. My wage is the responsibility of Allah alone. I am commanded to be one of the Muslims.’

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ فِي الْفُلْكِ وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ خَلَٓائِفَ وَاَغْرَقْنَا الَّذ۪ينَ كَذَّبُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَاۚ فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُنْذَر۪ينَ

Fakaththaboohu fanajjaynahuwaman maAAahu fee alfulki wajaAAalnahum khala-ifawaaghraqna allatheena kaththaboo bi-ayatinafanthur kayfa kana AAaqibatualmunthareen

But they denied him so We rescued him, and all those with him, in the Ark and We made them the successors and We drowned the people who denied Our Signs. See the final fate of those who were warned!

ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِنْ بَعْدِه۪ رُسُلاً اِلٰى قَوْمِهِمْ فَجَٓاؤُ۫هُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَمَا كَانُوا لِيُؤْمِنُوا بِمَا كَذَّبُوا بِه۪ مِنْ قَبْلُۜ كَذٰلِكَ نَطْبَعُ عَلٰى قُلُوبِ الْمُعْتَد۪ينَ

Thumma baAAathna min baAAdihi rusulanila qawmihim fajaoohum bilbayyinatifama kanoo liyu/minoo bima kaththaboobihi min qablu kathalika natbaAAu AAalaquloobi almuAAtadeen

Then after him We sent Messengers to their people, and they brought them the Clear Signs, but they were never going to have iman in something which they had previously denied. That is how We seal up the hearts of those who overstep the limits.

ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ مُوسٰى وَهٰرُونَ اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَا۬ئِه۪ بِاٰيَاتِنَا فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا وَكَانُوا قَوْماً مُجْرِم۪ينَ

Thumma baAAathna min baAAdihim moosawaharoona ila firAAawna wamala-ihi bi-ayatinafastakbaroo wakanoo qawman mujrimeen

Then after them We sent Musa and Harun with Our Signs to Pharaoh and his ruling circle, but they were arrogant and were a people of evildoers.

فَلَمَّا جَٓاءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا قَالُٓوا اِنَّ هٰذَا لَسِحْرٌ مُب۪ينٌ

Falamma jaahumu alhaqqumin AAindina qaloo inna hatha lasihrunmubeen

When the truth came to them from Us, they said, ‘This is downright magic!’

قَالَ مُوسٰٓى اَتَقُولُونَ لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَٓاءَكُمْۜ اَسِحْرٌ هٰذَاۜ وَلَا يُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُونَ

Qala moosa ataqooloona lilhaqqilamma jaakum asihrun hatha walayuflihu assahiroon

Musa said, ‘Do you say to the truth when it comes to you, "This is magic"? Magicians are not successful. ’

قَالُٓوا اَجِئْتَنَا لِتَلْفِتَنَا عَمَّا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ اٰبَٓاءَنَا وَتَكُونَ لَكُمَا الْكِبْرِيَٓاءُ فِي الْاَرْضِۜ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكُمَا بِمُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Qaloo aji/tana litalfitanaAAamma wajadna AAalayhi abaanawatakoona lakuma alkibriyao fee al-ardi wamanahnu lakuma bimu/mineen

They said, ‘Have you come to us to turn us from what we found our fathers doing, and to gain greatness in the land? We do not believe you. ’

وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ائْتُون۪ي بِكُلِّ سَاحِرٍ عَل۪يمٍ

Waqala firAAawnu i/toonee bikulli sahirinAAaleem

Pharaoh said, ‘Bring me every knowledgeable magician. ’

فَلَمَّا جَٓاءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسٰٓى اَلْقُوا مَٓا اَنْتُمْ مُلْقُونَ

Falamma jaa assaharatuqala lahum moosa alqoo ma antum mulqoon

When the magicians came, Musa said to them, ‘Throw whatever you have to throw!’

فَلَمَّٓا اَلْقَوْا قَالَ مُوسٰى مَا جِئْتُمْ بِهِ السِّحْرُۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَيُبْطِلُهُۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُصْلِحُ عَمَلَ الْمُفْسِد۪ينَ

Falamma alqaw qala moosama ji/tum bihi assihru inna Allahasayubtiluhu inna Allaha la yuslihuAAamala almufsideen

When they had thrown, Musa said, ‘What you have brought is magic. Allah will certainly prove it false. Allah does not uphold the actions of corrupters.’

وَيُحِقُّ اللّٰهُ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَاتِه۪ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُجْرِمُونَ۟

Wayuhiqqu Allahu alhaqqabikalimatihi walaw kariha almujrimoon

Allah confirms the Truth by His words, even though the evildoers hate it.

فَمَٓا اٰمَنَ لِمُوسٰٓى اِلَّا ذُرِّيَّةٌ مِنْ قَوْمِه۪ عَلٰى خَوْفٍ مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَا۬ئِهِمْ اَنْ يَفْتِنَهُمْۜ وَاِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ لَعَالٍ فِي الْاَرْضِۚ وَاِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الْمُسْرِف۪ينَ

No one had iman in Musa except for a few of his people out of fear that Pharaoh, and the elders, would persecute them. Pharaoh was high and mighty in the land. He was one of the profligate.

وَقَالَ مُوسٰى يَا قَوْمِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِاللّٰهِ فَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلُٓوا اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُسْلِم۪ينَ

Waqala moosa ya qawmiin kuntum amantum billahi faAAalayhitawakkaloo in kuntum muslimeen

Musa said, ‘My people! if you have iman in Allah, then put your trust in Him, if you are Muslims. ’

فَقَالُوا عَلَى اللّٰهِ تَوَكَّلْنَاۚ رَبَّـنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِلْقَوْمِ الظَّالِم۪ينَۙ

Faqaloo AAala Allahitawakkalna rabbana la tajAAalnafitnatan lilqawmi aththalimeen

They said, ‘We have put our trust in Allah. Our Lord, Do not make us a target for this wrongdoing people,

وَنَجِّنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِر۪ينَ

Wanajjina birahmatika minaalqawmi alkafireen

and rescue us, by Your mercy, from this kafir people!’

وَاَوْحَيْنَٓا اِلٰى مُوسٰى وَاَخ۪يهِ اَنْ تَبَوَّاٰ لِقَوْمِكُمَا بِمِصْرَ بُيُوتاً وَاجْعَلُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ قِبْلَةً وَاَق۪يمُوا الصَّلٰوةَۜ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Waawhayna ila moosawaakheehi an tabawwaa liqawmikuma bimisrabuyootan wajAAaloo buyootakum qiblatan waaqeemoo assalatawabashshiri almu/mineen

We revealed to Musa and his brother: ‘Settle your people in houses in Egypt and make your houses places of worship and establish salat and give good news to the muminun. ’

وَقَالَ مُوسٰى رَبَّـنَٓا اِنَّكَ اٰتَيْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَاَهُ ز۪ينَةً وَاَمْوَالاً فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاۙ رَبَّـنَا لِيُضِلُّوا عَنْ سَب۪يلِكَۚ رَبَّـنَا اطْمِسْ عَلٰٓى اَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاشْدُدْ عَلٰى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُوا حَتّٰى يَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْاَل۪يمَ

Waqala moosa rabbanainnaka atayta firAAawna wamalaahu zeenatan waamwalanfee alhayati addunya rabbanaliyudilloo AAan sabeelika rabbana itmis AAalaamwalihim washdud AAala quloobihim falayu/minoo hatta yarawoo alAAathaba al-aleem

Musa said, ‘Our Lord, You have given Pharaoh and his ruling circle finery and wealth in the life of this world, Our Lord, so that they may be misguided from Your Way. Our Lord, obliterate their wealth and harden their hearts so that they do not have iman until they see the painful punishment.’

قَالَ قَدْ اُج۪يبَتْ دَعْوَتُكُمَا فَاسْتَق۪يمَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعَٓانِّ سَب۪يلَ الَّذ۪ينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Qala qad ojeebat daAAwatukumafastaqeema wala tattabiAAannisabeela allatheena la yaAAlamoon

He said, ‘Your request is answered, so go straight and do not follow the way of those who have no knowledge. ’

وَجَاوَزْنَا بِبَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَ الْبَحْرَ فَاَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ وَجُنُودُهُ بَغْياً وَعَدْواًۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَٓا اَدْرَكَهُ الْغَرَقُۙ قَالَ اٰمَنْتُ اَنَّهُ لَٓا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا الَّـذ۪ٓي اٰمَنَتْ بِه۪ بَنُٓوا اِسْرَٓائ۪لَ وَاَنَا۬ مِنَ الْمُسْلِم۪ينَ

Wajawazna bibanee isra-eelaalbahra faatbaAAahum firAAawnu wajunooduhu baghyanwaAAadwan hatta itha adrakahu algharaqu qalaamantu annahu la ilaha illa allatheeamanat bihi banoo isra-eela waana minaalmuslimeen

We brought the tribe of Israel across the sea and Pharaoh and his troops pursued them out of tyranny and enmity. Then, when he was on the point of drowning, he said, ‘I believe that there is no god but Him in whom the tribe of Israel believe. I am one of the Muslims.’

آٰلْـٰٔنَ وَقَدْ عَصَيْتَ قَبْلُ وَكُنْتَ مِنَ الْمُفْسِد۪ينَ

Al-ana waqad AAasaytaqablu wakunta mina almufsideen

‘What, now! When previously you rebelled and were one of the corrupters?

فَالْيَوْمَ نُنَجّ۪يكَ بِبَدَنِكَ لِتَكُونَ لِمَنْ خَلْفَكَ اٰيَةًۜ وَاِنَّ كَث۪يراً مِنَ النَّاسِ عَنْ اٰيَاتِنَا لَغَافِلُونَ۟

Falyawma nunajjeeka bibadanikalitakoona liman khalfaka ayatan wa-inna katheeran mina annasiAAan ayatina laghafiloon

Today We will preserve your body so you can be a Sign for people who come after you. Surely many people are heedless of Our Signs.’

وَلَقَدْ بَوَّأْنَا بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَ مُبَوَّاَ صِدْقٍ وَرَزَقْنَاهُمْ مِنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِۚ فَمَا اخْتَلَفُوا حَتّٰى جَٓاءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُۜ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْض۪ي بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ ف۪يمَا كَانُوا ف۪يهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ

Walaqad bawwa/na banee isra-eelamubawwaa sidqin warazaqnahum mina attayyibatifama ikhtalafoo hatta jaahumualAAilmu inna rabbaka yaqdee baynahum yawma alqiyamatifeema kanoo feehi yakhtalifoon

We settled the tribe of Israel in a noble place and gave them good things as provision. They did not differ until knowledge came to them. Your Lord will decide between them on the Day of Rising regarding the things about which they differed.

فَاِنْ كُنْتَ ف۪ي شَكٍّ مِمَّٓا اَنْزَلْـنَٓا اِلَيْكَ فَسْـَٔلِ الَّذ۪ينَ يَقْرَؤُ۫نَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَۚ لَقَدْ جَٓاءَكَ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَر۪ينَۙ

Fa-in kunta fee shakkin mimma anzalnnailayka fas-ali allatheena yaqraoona alkitabamin qablika laqad jaaka alhaqqu min rabbika falatakoonanna mina almumtareen

If you are in any doubt about what We have sent down to you, then ask those who were reciting the Book before you. The truth has come to you from your Lord, so on no account be one of the doubters.

وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَذَّبُوا بِاٰيَاتِ اللّٰهِ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الْخَاسِر۪ينَ

Wala takoonanna mina allatheenakaththaboo bi-ayati Allahi fatakoonamina alkhasireen

And on no account be among those who deny Allah’s Signs and so become one of the lost.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَۙ

Inna allatheena haqqatAAalayhim kalimatu rabbika la yu/minoon

Those against whom the words of your Lord are justly carried out will never have iman –

وَلَوْ جَٓاءَتْهُمْ كُلُّ اٰيَةٍ حَتّٰى يَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْاَل۪يمَ

Walaw jaat-hum kullu ayatin hattayarawoo alAAathaba al-aleem

not even if every Sign were to come to them – until they see the painful punishment.

فَلَوْلَا كَانَتْ قَرْيَةٌ اٰمَنَتْ فَنَفَعَهَٓا ا۪يمَانُهَٓا اِلَّا قَوْمَ يُونُسَۜ لَمَّٓا اٰمَنُوا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمْ عَذَابَ الْخِزْيِ فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ اِلٰى ح۪ينٍ

Falawla kanat qaryatun amanatfanafaAAaha eemanuha illa qawmayoonusa lamma amanoo kashafna AAanhum AAathabaalkhizyi fee alhayati addunyawamattaAAnahum ila heen

How is it that there has never been a city that had iman, whose iman then brought it benefit, except the people of Yunus? When they had iman We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in the life of this world and We let them have enjoyment for a time.

وَلَوْ شَٓاءَ رَبُّكَ لَاٰمَنَ مَنْ فِي الْاَرْضِ كُلُّهُمْ جَم۪يعاًۜ اَفَاَنْتَ تُكْرِهُ النَّاسَ حَتّٰى يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Walaw shaa rabbuka laamana manfee al-ardi kulluhum jameeAAan afaanta tukrihu annasahatta yakoonoo mu/mineen

If your Lord had willed, all the people on the earth would have had iman. Do you think you can force people to be muminun?

وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفْسٍ اَنْ تُؤْمِنَ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِۜ وَيَجْعَلُ الرِّجْسَ عَلَى الَّذ۪ينَ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ

Wama kana linafsin an tu/minailla bi-ithni Allahi wayajAAalu arrijsaAAala allatheena la yaAAqiloon

No self can have iman except with Allah’s permission. He places a blight on those who do not use their intellect.

قُلِ انْظُرُوا مَاذَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ وَمَا تُغْنِي الْاٰيَاتُ وَالنُّذُرُ عَنْ قَوْمٍ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Quli onthuroo mathafee assamawati wal-ardi wamatughnee al-ayatu wannuthuru AAanqawmin la yu/minoon

Say: ‘Look at what there is in the heavens and on the earth. ’ But Signs and warnings are of no avail to people who have no iman.

فَهَلْ يَنْتَظِرُونَ اِلَّا مِثْلَ اَيَّامِ الَّذ۪ينَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْۜ قُلْ فَانْتَظِرُٓوا اِنّ۪ي مَعَكُمْ مِنَ الْمُنْتَظِر۪ينَ

Fahal yantathiroona illamithla ayyami allatheena khalaw min qablihim qul fantathirooinnee maAAakum mina almuntathireen

What are they waiting for but the same fate as those who passed away before them? Say: ‘Wait, I will be among the people waiting with you. ’

ثُمَّ نُنَجّ۪ي رُسُلَنَا وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا كَذٰلِكَۚ حَقاًّ عَلَيْنَا نُنْجِ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ۟

Thumma nunajjee rusulana wallatheenaamanoo kathalika haqqan AAalaynanunjee almu/mineen

Then We will rescue Our Messengers and those who have iman as well. It is incumbent upon Us to rescue the muminun.

قُلْ يَٓا اَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ ف۪ي شَكٍّ مِنْ د۪ين۪ي فَلَٓا اَعْبُدُ الَّذ۪ينَ تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ وَلٰكِنْ اَعْبُدُ اللّٰهَ الَّذ۪ي يَتَوَفّٰيكُمْۚ وَاُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَۙ

Qul ya ayyuha annasuin kuntum fee shakkin min deenee fala aAAbudu allatheenataAAbudoona min dooni Allahi walakin aAAbudu Allahaallathee yatawaffakum waomirtu an akoona minaalmu/mineen

Say: ‘Mankind! if you are in any doubt about my deen, I do not worship those you worship besides Allah. Rather I worship Allah who will take you back to Him and I am commanded to be one of the muminun:

وَاَنْ اَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدّ۪ينِ حَن۪يفاًۚ وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُشْرِك۪ينَ

Waan aqim wajhaka liddeeni haneefanwala takoonanna mina almushrikeen

Turn your face towards the deen in pure natural faith, and on no account be among the idolaters.

وَلَا تَدْعُ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَنْفَعُكَ وَلَا يَضُرُّكَۚ فَاِنْ فَعَلْتَ فَاِنَّكَ اِذاً مِنَ الظَّالِم۪ينَ

Wala tadAAu min dooni Allahima la yanfaAAuka wala yadurruka fa-infaAAalta fa-innaka ithan mina aththalimeen

Do not call on something besides Allah which can neither help nor harm you. If you do, you will then be wrongdoers.’

وَاِنْ يَمْسَسْكَ اللّٰهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُٓ اِلَّا هُوَۚ وَاِنْ يُرِدْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَلَا رَٓادَّ لِفَضْلِه۪ۜ يُص۪يبُ بِه۪ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِه۪ۜ وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّح۪يمُ

Wa-in yamsaska Allahu bidurrinfala kashifa lahu illa huwa wa-in yuridkabikhayrin fala radda lifadlihi yuseebubihi man yashao min AAibadihi wahuwa alghafooru arraheem

If Allah afflicts you with harm, no one can remove it except Him. If He desires good for you, no one can avert His favour. He bestows it on whichever of His slaves He wills. He is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

قُلْ يَٓا اَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَٓاءَكُمُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْۚ فَمَنِ اهْتَدٰى فَاِنَّمَا يَهْتَد۪ي لِنَفْسِه۪ۚ وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَاِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَاۚ وَمَٓا اَنَا۬ عَلَيْكُمْ بِوَك۪يلٍۜ

Qul ya ayyuha annasuqad jaakumu alhaqqu min rabbikum famani ihtadafa-innama yahtadee linafsihi waman dalla fa-innamayadillu AAalayha wama ana AAalaykumbiwakeel

Say: ‘Mankind! the truth has come to you from your Lord. Whoever is guided is only guided for his own good. Whoever is misguided is only misguided to his detriment. I have not been set over you as a guardian.’

وَاتَّبِعْ مَا يُوحٰٓى اِلَيْكَ وَاصْبِرْ حَتّٰى يَحْكُمَ اللّٰهُۚ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْحَاكِم۪ينَ

WattabiAA ma yoohailayka wasbir hatta yahkumaAllahu wahuwa khayru alhakimeen

Follow what has been revealed to you and be steadfast until Allah’s judgement comes. He is the Best of Judges.
