1 Alif. Lam. Ra. These are the verses of the Book and the glorious Quran. الَرَ تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ وَقُرْآنٍ مُّبِينٍ
2 How strongly the unbelievers will wish that they had been Muslims. رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوْ كَانُواْ مُسْلِمِينَ
3 (Muhammad), leave them alone to eat and enjoy themselves and let their desires deceive them; they will soon know (the Truth). ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُواْ وَيَتَمَتَّعُواْ وَيُلْهِهِمُ الأَمَلُ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
4 We never destroyed any town without pre-ordaining the fate of its people. وَمَا أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلاَّ وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَّعْلُومٌ
5 Every nation can only live for the time appointed for it. مَّا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ
6 (The unbelievers have said), "You to whom the Quran has been revealed are insane. وَقَالُواْ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِي نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ
7 Why do you not bring down the angels if what you say is true". لَّوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِالْمَلائِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ
8 We do not send down angels except for a genuine purpose, at which time none will be given any further respite. مَا نُنَزِّلُ الْمَلائِكَةَ إِلاَّ بِالحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُواْ إِذًا مُّنظَرِينَ
9 We Ourselves have revealed the Quran and We are its Protectors. إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ
10 We sent Messengers to the ancient people who lived before you. وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِي شِيَعِ الأَوَّلِينَ
11 No Messenger went to them whom they did not mock. وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلاَّ كَانُواْ بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ
12 This is how We cause the hearts of the guilty ones to behave. كَذَلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ
13 They do not believe in the Truth and they exactly follow the tradition of the ancient (unbelievers) لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ الأَوَّلِينَ
14 Had We opened a door for them in the sky through which they could easily pass, وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا مِّنَ السَّمَاء فَظَلُّواْ فِيهِ يَعْرُجُونَ
15 they would have said, "Our eyes are bewildered and we have been affected by magic." لَقَالُواْ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَارُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَّسْحُورُونَ
16 We have made constellations in the sky and decorated them for the onlookers. وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِي السَّمَاء بُرُوجًا وَزَيَّنَّاهَا لِلنَّاظِرِينَ
17 We have protected them from every condemned devil, وَحَفِظْنَاهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ رَّجِيمٍ
18 except for those who stealthily try to listen to the heavens, but who are chased away by a bright flame. إِلاَّ مَنِ اسْتَرَقَ السَّمْعَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ مُّبِينٌ
19 We have spread out the earth, fixed mountains thereupon and caused everything to grow to its proper weight وَالأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَاهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مَّوْزُونٍ
20 to provide you and those for whose sustenance you are not responsible, with the necessities of life. وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَايِشَ وَمَن لَّسْتُمْ لَهُ بِرَازِقِينَ
21 With Us is the source of everything and We do not send it down except in a known quantity. وَإِن مِّن شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ عِندَنَا خَزَائِنُهُ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُ إِلاَّ بِقَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
22 We send impregnating winds and send down water from the sky for you to drink and you have no (control over its) storage. لَوَاقِحَ فَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاء مَاء فَأَسْقَيْنَاكُمُوهُ وَمَا أَنتُمْ لَهُ بِخَازِنِينَ
23 It is We who give life and cause things to die and We are the sole Heirs. وَإنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْيِي وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحْنُ الْوَارِثُونَ
24 We know the people who lived before you and those who will come into existence after you. وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَأْخِرِينَ
25 Your Lord will resurrect them all; He is All-wise and All-knowing. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ إِنَّهُ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ
26 We have created the human being out of pure mud-moulded clay وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الإِنسَانَ مِن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ
27 and the jinn before (the human being) of smokeless fire. وَالْجَآنَّ خَلَقْنَاهُ مِن قَبْلُ مِن نَّارِ السَّمُومِ
28 When your Lord said to the angels, "I will create the human being out of pure mud-moulded clay. وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلاَئِكَةِ إِنِّي خَالِقٌ بَشَرًا مِّن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ
29 When it is properly shaped and I have blown My Spirit into it, you should then bow down in prostration". فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُواْ لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ
30 All the angels prostrated before Adam فَسَجَدَ الْمَلآئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ
31 except Iblis who refused to join with the others in prostration. إِلاَّ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَى أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ
32 God asked Iblis, "What made you not join the others in prostration?" قَالَ يَا إِبْلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلاَّ تَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ
33 Iblis replied, "I did not want to prostrate before a human being whom You have created out of mud-moulded clay". قَالَ لَمْ أَكُن لِّأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُ مِن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ
34 God told him, "Get out of the garden; you are rejected قَالَ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ
35 and will be subjected to condemnation until the Day of Judgment." وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ اللَّعْنَةَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ
36 Iblis prayed, "Lord, grant me respite until the Day of Judgment". قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرْنِي إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
37 The Lord said, "Your request is granted قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنظَرِينَ
38 for an appointed time." إِلَى يَومِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُومِ
39 Iblis said, "Lord, because you have caused me to go astray, I shall make earthly things attractive to (people) and mislead all of them قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَا أَغْوَيْتَنِي لأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
40 except Your sincere servants". إِلاَّ عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِينَ
41 God said, "The path which leads to Me is a straight قَالَ هَذَا صِرَاطٌ عَلَيَّ مُسْتَقِيمٌ
42 and you have no authority over My servants except the erring ones who follow you. إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَانٌ إِلاَّ مَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْغَاوِينَ
43 Hell is the promised place for them all. وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
44 It has seven gates and each gate is assigned for a certain group of people. لَهَا سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَابٍ لِّكُلِّ بَابٍ مِّنْهُمْ جُزْءٌ مَّقْسُومٌ
45 The pious will live in gardens with streams إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
46 and they will be told to enter there in peace and safety. ادْخُلُوهَا بِسَلاَمٍ آمِنِينَ
47 We shall remove all hatred from their breasts and make them as brothers reclining on thrones facing one another. وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِي صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ إِخْوَانًا عَلَى سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَابِلِينَ
48 No fatigue will touch them nor will they be expelled therefrom." لاَ يَمَسُّهُمْ فِيهَا نَصَبٌ وَمَا هُم مِّنْهَا بِمُخْرَجِينَ
49 (Muhammad), tell My servants that I am All-forgiving and All-merciful نَبِّئْ عِبَادِي أَنِّي أَنَا الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
50 and that My punishment is a painful one. وَ أَنَّ عَذَابِي هُوَ الْعَذَابُ الأَلِيمَ
51 Tell them about the guests of Abraham وَنَبِّئْهُمْ عَن ضَيْفِ إِ بْراَهِيمَ
52 who came to him saying, "Peace be with you." Abraham said, "We are afraid of you". إِذْ دَخَلُواْ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُواْ سَلامًا قَالَ إِنَّا مِنكُمْ وَجِلُونَ
53 They replied, "Do not be afraid. We have brought you the glad news of (the birth) of a learned son". قَالُواْ لاَ تَوْجَلْ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلامٍ عَلِيمٍ
54 Abraham asked, "Are you giving me the glad news of a son in my old age? What reason can you give for such glad news?" قَالَ أَبَشَّرْتُمُونِي عَلَى أَن مَّسَّنِيَ الْكِبَرُ فَبِمَ تُبَشِّرُونَ
55 They said, "We have given you the glad news for a true reason so do not despair". قَالُواْ بَشَّرْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ فَلاَ تَكُن مِّنَ الْقَانِطِينَ
56 He said, "No one despairs of the mercy of his Lord except those who are in error. قَالَ وَمَن يَقْنَطُ مِن رَّحْمَةِ رَبِّهِ إِلاَّ الضَّآلُّونَ
57 Messengers, what is your task?" قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ
58 They said, "We are sent to a sinful people. قَالُواْ إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَى قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ
59 Only the family of Lot will all be saved, إِلاَّ آلَ لُوطٍ إِنَّا لَمُنَجُّوهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
60 except his wife who is doomed to be left behind." إِلاَّ امْرَأَتَهُ قَدَّرْنَا إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ الْغَابِرِينَ
61 When the Messengers came to the family of Lot, فَلَمَّا جَاء آلَ لُوطٍ الْمُرْسَلُونَ
62 he said, "You seem to be strangers". قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ
63 They replied, "We have come to you about the matter which the (unbelievers) have rejected. قَالُواْ بَلْ جِئْنَاكَ بِمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ
64 We have come to you for a genuine purpose and We are true in what we say. وَأَتَيْنَاكَ بَالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّا لَصَادِقُونَ
65 Leave the town with your family sometime during the night. Walk behind them and let no one turn around. Proceed as you are commanded." فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ وَاتَّبِعْ أَدْبَارَهُمْ وَلاَ يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ وَامْضُواْ حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُونَ
66 We informed him that the unbelievers would be utterly destroyed. وَقَضَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ الأَمْرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَؤُلاء مَقْطُوعٌ مُّصْبِحِينَ
67 The people of the town rejoicingly وَجَاء أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ
68 rushed towards the house of Lot. Lot said to them, "These are my guests. Do not disgrace me. قَالَ إِنَّ هَؤُلاء ضَيْفِي فَلاَ تَفْضَحُونِ
69 Have fear of God and do not humiliate me". وَاتَّقُوا اللّهَ وَلاَ تُخْزُونِ
70 They replied, "Did we not forbid you to bring anyone to your house?" قَالُوا أَوَلَمْ نَنْهَكَ عَنِ الْعَالَمِينَ
71 Lot said, "These are my daughters if you want them." قَالَ هَؤُلاء بَنَاتِي إِن كُنتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ
72 By your life! In their drunkenness they were truly blind. لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِي سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ
73 An explosion struck them at sunrise. فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِينَ
74 We turned the town upside-down and showered on them lumps of baked clay. فَجَعَلْنَا عَالِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ
75 In this there is evidence (of the Truth) for the prudent ones. إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآيَاتٍ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ
76 That town lies on a road which still exists. وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍ مُّقيمٍ
77 In this there is evidence (of the Truth) for the believers. إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآيَةً لِّلْمُؤمِنِينَ
78 Since the People of the Forest were unjust, وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَابُ الأَيْكَةِ لَظَالِمِينَ
79 We afflicted them with punishment. Both people had clear (divine) authority among them. فَانتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ
80 People of Hijr rejected the Messengers. وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَابُ الحِجْرِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
81 We showed them miracles but they ignored them. وَآتَيْنَاهُمْ آيَاتِنَا فَكَانُواْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ
82 They would carve secure houses out of the mountains. وَكَانُواْ يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا آمِنِينَ
83 An explosion struck them in the morning. فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِينَ
84 Out of what they had gained, nothing proved to be of any benefit to them. فَمَا أَغْنَى عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ
85 We have created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, for a genuine purpose. The Day of Judgment will certainly approach, so (Muhammad) forgive them graciously. وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لآتِيَةٌ فَاصْفَحِ الصَّفْحَ الْجَمِيلَ
86 Your Lord is certainly the All-knowing Creator. إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْخَلاَّقُ الْعَلِيمُ
87 (Muhammad), We have given you the seven most repeated (verses) and the great Quran. وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ
88 Do not yearn for other people's property and wives and do not grieve (that they do not believe). Be kind to the believers. لاَ تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَى مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلاَ تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
89 Say, "Indeed, I am simply one who warns." وَقُلْ إِنِّي أَنَا النَّذِيرُ الْمُبِينُ
90 (We have given you the Quran) as We had given (the Bible) to those who divided themselves into groups كَمَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى المُقْتَسِمِينَ
91 and also divided the Quran believing in some parts and rejecting others. الَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا الْقُرْآنَ عِضِينَ
92 By the Lord, We will hold them all responsible فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْأَلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِيْنَ
93 for what they have done عَمَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
94 Preach what you have been commanded to and stay away from the pagans. فَاصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
95 We shall help you against those who mock you إِنَّا كَفَيْنَاكَ الْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ
96 and believe other things to be equal to God. They will soon know the truth. الَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ اللّهِ إِلـهًا آخَرَ فَسَوْفَ يَعْمَلُونَ
97 We certainly know that you feel sad about what they say against you. وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ
98 Glorify and praise your Lord and be with those who prostrate themselves before God. فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ السَّاجِدِينَ
99 Worship your Lord until you achieve the ultimate certainty. وَاعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكَ الْيَقِينُ
