tta-seen-meem

Ṭā, Seen, Meem.

تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ ۝٢

til'ka āyātu l-kitābi l-mubīn

These are the verses of the clear Book.

لَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٣

laʿallaka bākhiʿun nafsaka allā yakūnū mu'minīn

Perhaps, [O Muḥammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.

إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَـٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَـٰضِعِينَ ۝٤

in nasha nunazzil ʿalayhim mina l-samāi āyatan faẓallat aʿnāquhum lahā khāḍiʿīn

If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ ۝٥

wamā yatīhim min dhik'rin mina l-raḥmāni muḥ'dathin illā kānū ʿanhu muʿ'riḍīn

And no mention [i.e., revelation] comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَـٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ۝٦

faqad kadhabū fasayatīhim anbāu mā kānū bihi yastahziūn

For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ ۝٧

awalam yaraw ilā l-arḍi kam anbatnā fīhā min kulli zawjin karīm

Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝٨

inna fī dhālika laāyatan wamā kāna aktharuhum mu'minīn

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝٩

wa-inna rabbaka lahuwa l-ʿazīzu l-raḥīm

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ۝١٠

wa-idh nādā rabbuka mūsā ani i'ti l-qawma l-ẓālimīn

And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -

قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ ۝١١

qawma fir'ʿawna alā yattaqūn

The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allāh?"

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ ۝١٢

qāla rabbi innī akhāfu an yukadhibūn

He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me

وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَـٰرُونَ ۝١٣

wayaḍīqu ṣadrī walā yanṭaliqu lisānī fa-arsil ilā hārūn

And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.

وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ ۝١٤

walahum ʿalayya dhanbun fa-akhāfu an yaqtulūn

And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."

قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ ۝١٥

qāla kallā fa-idh'habā biāyātinā innā maʿakum mus'tamiʿūn

[Allāh] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.

فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ۝١٦

fatiyā fir'ʿawna faqūlā innā rasūlu rabbi l-ʿālamīn

Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,

أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝١٧

an arsil maʿanā banī is'rāīl

[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"

قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ ۝١٨

qāla alam nurabbika fīnā walīdan walabith'ta fīnā min ʿumurika sinīn

[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?

وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ۝١٩

wafaʿalta faʿlataka allatī faʿalta wa-anta mina l-kāfirīn

And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."

قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ۝٢٠

qāla faʿaltuhā idhan wa-anā mina l-ḍālīn

[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray [i.e., ignorant].

فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝٢١

fafarartu minkum lammā khif'tukum fawahaba lī rabbī ḥuk'man wajaʿalanī mina l-mur'salīn

So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me judgement [i.e., wisdom and prophet hood] and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.

وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝٢٢

watil'ka niʿ'matun tamunnuhā ʿalayya an ʿabbadtta banī is'rāīl

And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ۝٢٣

qāla fir'ʿawnu wamā rabbu l-ʿālamīn

Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ ۝٢٤

qāla rabbu l-samāwāti wal-arḍi wamā baynahumā in kuntum mūqinīn

[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."

قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ ۝٢٥

qāla liman ḥawlahu alā tastamiʿūn

[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"

قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝٢٦

qāla rabbukum warabbu ābāikumu l-awalīn

[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌ ۝٢٧

qāla inna rasūlakumu alladhī ur'sila ilaykum lamajnūn

[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ ۝٢٨

qāla rabbu l-mashriqi wal-maghribi wamā baynahumā in kuntum taʿqilūn

[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَـٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ ۝٢٩

qāla la-ini ittakhadhta ilāhan ghayrī la-ajʿalannaka mina l-masjūnīn

[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."

قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍ مُّبِينٍ ۝٣٠

qāla awalaw ji'tuka bishayin mubīn

[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you something [i.e., proof] manifest?"

قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ ۝٣١

qāla fati bihi in kunta mina l-ṣādiqīn

[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."

فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ ۝٣٢

fa-alqā ʿaṣāhu fa-idhā hiya thuʿ'bānun mubīn

So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ ۝٣٣

wanazaʿa yadahu fa-idhā hiya bayḍāu lilnnāẓirīn

And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.

قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ ۝٣٤

qāla lil'mala-i ḥawlahu inna hādhā lasāḥirun ʿalīm

[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ ۝٣٥

yurīdu an yukh'rijakum min arḍikum bisiḥ'rihi famādhā tamurūn

He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"

قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ ۝٣٦

qālū arjih wa-akhāhu wa-ib'ʿath fī l-madāini ḥāshirīn

They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers

يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ ۝٣٧

yatūka bikulli saḥḥārin ʿalīm

Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ ۝٣٨

fajumiʿa l-saḥaratu limīqāti yawmin maʿlūm

So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ ۝٣٩

waqīla lilnnāsi hal antum muj'tamiʿūn

And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate.

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ ۝٤٠

laʿallanā nattabiʿu l-saḥarata in kānū humu l-ghālibīn

That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ ۝٤١

falammā jāa l-saḥaratu qālū lifir'ʿawna a-inna lanā la-ajran in kunnā naḥnu l-ghālibīn

And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ ۝٤٢

qāla naʿam wa-innakum idhan lamina l-muqarabīn

He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ ۝٤٣

qāla lahum mūsā alqū mā antum mul'qūn

Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."

فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ ۝٤٤

fa-alqaw ḥibālahum waʿiṣiyyahum waqālū biʿizzati fir'ʿawna innā lanaḥnu l-ghālibūn

So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."

فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ ۝٤٥

fa-alqā mūsā ʿaṣāhu fa-idhā hiya talqafu mā yafikūn

Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.

فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَـٰجِدِينَ ۝٤٦

fa-ul'qiya l-saḥaratu sājidīn

So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allāh].

قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ۝٤٧

qālū āmannā birabbi l-ʿālamīn

They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ۝٤٨

rabbi mūsā wahārūn

The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَـٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝٤٩

qāla āmantum lahu qabla an ādhana lakum innahu lakabīrukumu alladhī ʿallamakumu l-siḥ'ra falasawfa taʿlamūna la-uqaṭṭiʿanna aydiyakum wa-arjulakum min khilāfin wala-uṣallibannakum ajmaʿīn

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him [i.e., Moses] before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."

قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ ۝٥٠

qālū lā ḍayra innā ilā rabbinā munqalibūn

They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.

إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَـٰيَـٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٥١

innā naṭmaʿu an yaghfira lanā rabbunā khaṭāyānā an kunnā awwala l-mu'minīn

Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."

۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ ۝٥٢

wa-awḥaynā ilā mūsā an asri biʿibādī innakum muttabaʿūn

And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."

فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ ۝٥٣

fa-arsala fir'ʿawnu fī l-madāini ḥāshirīn

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers

إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ ۝٥٤

inna hāulāi lashir'dhimatun qalīlūn

[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band,

وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ ۝٥٥

wa-innahum lanā laghāiẓūn

And indeed, they are enraging us,

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَـٰذِرُونَ ۝٥٦

wa-innā lajamīʿun ḥādhirūn

And indeed, we are a cautious society..."

فَأَخْرَجْنَـٰهُم مِّن جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ ۝٥٧

fa-akhrajnāhum min jannātin waʿuyūn

So We removed them from gardens and springs

وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ ۝٥٨

wakunūzin wamaqāmin karīm

And treasures and honorable station -

كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَـٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝٥٩

kadhālika wa-awrathnāhā banī is'rāīl

Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.

فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ ۝٦٠

fa-atbaʿūhum mush'riqīn

So they pursued them at sunrise.

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ ۝٦١

falammā tarāā l-jamʿāni qāla aṣḥābu mūsā innā lamud'rakūn

And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"

قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ۝٦٢

qāla kallā inna maʿiya rabbī sayahdīn

[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."

فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ ۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝٦٣

fa-awḥaynā ilā mūsā ani iḍ'rib biʿaṣāka l-baḥra fa-infalaqa fakāna kullu fir'qin kal-ṭawdi l-ʿaẓīm

Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.

وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ ۝٦٤

wa-azlafnā thamma l-ākharīn

And We advanced thereto the others [i.e., the pursuers].

وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝٦٥

wa-anjaynā mūsā waman maʿahu ajmaʿīn

And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ ۝٦٦

thumma aghraqnā l-ākharīn

Then We drowned the others.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۝٦٧

inna fī dhālika laāyatan wamā kāna aktharuhum mu'minīn

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝٦٨

wa-inna rabbaka lahuwa l-ʿazīzu l-raḥīm

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۝٦٩

wa-ut'lu ʿalayhim naba-a ib'rāhīm

And recite to them the news of Abraham,

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ ۝٧٠

idh qāla li-abīhi waqawmihi mā taʿbudūn

When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?"

قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَـٰكِفِينَ ۝٧١

qālū naʿbudu aṣnāman fanaẓallu lahā ʿākifīn

They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."

قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ ۝٧٢

qāla hal yasmaʿūnakum idh tadʿūn

He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?

أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ ۝٧٣

aw yanfaʿūnakum aw yaḍurrūn

Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"

قَالُوا۟ بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ ۝٧٤

qālū bal wajadnā ābāanā kadhālika yafʿalūn

They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ ۝٧٥

qāla afara-aytum mā kuntum taʿbudūn

He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,

أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ ۝٧٦

antum waābāukumu l-aqdamūn

You and your ancient forefathers?

فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِّىٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ۝٧٧

fa-innahum ʿaduwwun lī illā rabba l-ʿālamīn

Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ ۝٧٨

alladhī khalaqanī fahuwa yahdīn

Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me.

وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ ۝٧٩

wa-alladhī huwa yuṭ'ʿimunī wayasqīn

And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.

وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ ۝٨٠

wa-idhā mariḍ'tu fahuwa yashfīn

And when I am ill, it is He who cures me

وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ ۝٨١

wa-alladhī yumītunī thumma yuḥ'yīn

And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ ۝٨٢

wa-alladhī aṭmaʿu an yaghfira lī khaṭīatī yawma l-dīn

And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense."

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ۝٨٣

rabbi hab lī ḥuk'man wa-alḥiq'nī bil-ṣāliḥīn

[And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous.

وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ۝٨٤

wa-ij'ʿal lī lisāna ṣid'qin fī l-ākhirīn

And grant me a mention [i.e., reputation] of honor among later generations.

وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ۝٨٥

wa-ij'ʿalnī min warathati jannati l-naʿīm

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure.

وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ۝٨٦

wa-igh'fir li-abī innahu kāna mina l-ḍālīn

And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray.

وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ ۝٨٧

walā tukh'zinī yawma yub'ʿathūn

And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected -

يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ ۝٨٨

yawma lā yanfaʿu mālun walā banūn

The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children

إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ ۝٨٩

illā man atā l-laha biqalbin salīm

But only one who comes to Allāh with a sound heart."

وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ۝٩٠

wa-uz'lifati l-janatu lil'muttaqīn

And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous.

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ ۝٩١

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ ۝١٩٣

nazala bihi l-rūḥu l-amīn

The Trustworthy Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] has brought it down

عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ ۝١٩٤

ʿalā qalbika litakūna mina l-mundhirīn

Upon your heart, [O Muḥammad] - that you may be of the warners -

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّ مُّبِينٍ ۝١٩٥

bilisānin ʿarabiyyin mubīn

In a clear Arabic language.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١٩٦

wa-innahu lafī zuburi l-awalīn

And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.

أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَـٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ۝١٩٧

awalam yakun lahum āyatan an yaʿlamahu ʿulamāu banī is'rāīl

And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ ۝١٩٨

walaw nazzalnāhu ʿalā baʿḍi l-aʿjamīn

And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١٩٩

faqara-ahu ʿalayhim mā kānū bihi mu'minīn

And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَـٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۝٢٠٠

kadhālika salaknāhu fī qulūbi l-muj'rimīn

Thus have We inserted it [i.e., disbelief] into the hearts of the criminals.

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ ۝٢٠١

lā yu'minūna bihi ḥattā yarawū l-ʿadhāba l-alīm

They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.

فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ۝٢٠٢

fayatiyahum baghtatan wahum lā yashʿurūn

And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.

فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ ۝٢٠٣

fayaqūlū hal naḥnu munẓarūn

And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ۝٢٠٤

afabiʿadhābinā yastaʿjilūn

So for Our punishment are they impatient?

أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ سِنِينَ ۝٢٠٥

afara-ayta in mattaʿnāhum sinīn

Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years

ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ ۝٢٠٦

thumma jāahum mā kānū yūʿadūn

And then there came to them that which they were promised?

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ ۝٢٠٧

mā aghnā ʿanhum mā kānū yumattaʿūn

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ ۝٢٠٨

wamā ahlaknā min qaryatin illā lahā mundhirūn

And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners

ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ ۝٢٠٩

dhik'rā wamā kunnā ẓālimīn

As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ ۝٢١٠

wamā tanazzalat bihi l-shayāṭīn

And the devils have not brought it [i.e., the revelation] down.

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ۝٢١١

wamā yanbaghī lahum wamā yastaṭīʿūn

It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.

إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ ۝٢١٢

innahum ʿani l-samʿi lamaʿzūlūn

Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ ۝٢١٣

falā tadʿu maʿa l-lahi ilāhan ākhara fatakūna mina l-muʿadhabīn

So do not invoke with Allāh another deity and [thus] be among the punished.

وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ ۝٢١٤

wa-andhir ʿashīrataka l-aqrabīn

And warn, [O Muḥammad], your closest kindred.

وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٢١٥

wa-ikh'fiḍ janāḥaka limani ittabaʿaka mina l-mu'minīn

And lower your wing [i.e., show kindness] to those who follow you of the believers.

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ۝٢١٦

fa-in ʿaṣawka faqul innī barīon mimmā taʿmalūn

And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ۝٢١٧

watawakkal ʿalā l-ʿazīzi l-raḥīm

And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ ۝٢١٨

alladhī yarāka ḥīna taqūm

Who sees you when you arise

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ ۝٢١٩

wataqallubaka fī l-sājidīn

And your movement among those who prostrate.

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ۝٢٢٠

innahu huwa l-samīʿu l-ʿalīm

Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ ۝٢٢١

hal unabbi-ukum ʿalā man tanazzalu l-shayāṭīn

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ ۝٢٢٢

tanazzalu ʿalā kulli affākin athīm

They descend upon every sinful liar.

يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَـٰذِبُونَ ۝٢٢٣

yul'qūna l-samʿa wa-aktharuhum kādhibūn

They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ ۝٢٢٤

wal-shuʿarāu yattabiʿuhumu l-ghāwūn

And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them;

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ ۝٢٢٥

alam tara annahum fī kulli wādin yahīmūn

Do you not see that in every valley they roam

وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ ۝٢٢٦

wa-annahum yaqūlūna mā lā yafʿalūn

And that they say what they do not do? -

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ ۝٢٢٧

illā alladhīna āmanū waʿamilū l-ṣāliḥāti wadhakarū l-laha kathīran wa-intaṣarū min baʿdi mā ẓulimū wasayaʿlamu alladhīna ẓalamū ayya munqalabin yanqalibūn

Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allāh often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.
