الٓر ۚ كِتَـٰبٌ أُحْكِمَتْ ءَايَـٰتُهُۥ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ مِن لَّدُنْ حَكِيمٍ خَبِيرٍ alif lām rā ۚ kitābun uḥkimat āyātuhu thumma fuṣṣilat min ladun ḥakīmin khabīr ALIF LAM RA. This is a Book whose verses are indeclinable and distinct, which comes from One who is most wise and all-knowing,
2
أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّنِى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ وَبَشِيرٌ allā ta`budū illallāh ۚ innanī lakum minhu nadhīrun wabashīr (Proclaiming) that you should worship none but God. Verily I bring to you from Him a message of warning and rejoicing,
3
وَأَنِ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يُمَتِّعْكُم مَّتَـٰعًا حَسَنًا إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَيُؤْتِ كُلَّ ذِى فَضْلٍ فَضْلَهُۥ ۖ وَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَإِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ كَبِيرٍ wa-anis-taghfirū rabbakum thumma tūbū ilayhi yumatti`kum matā`an ḥasanan ilā ajalin musamman wayu-ti kulla dhī faḍlin faḍlah ۖ wa in tawallaw fa-innī akhāfu `alaykum `adhāba yawmin kabīr And that you should seek His forgiveness and turn towards Him. He will bestow the best things of life on you for a time ordained, and favour those with blessings who are worthy of grace. But if you turn away, I fear the punishment of a terrible Day for you.
4
إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ ۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ilallāhi marji`ukum ۖ wahuwa `alā kulli shay-in qadīr To God have you to go back, and He has power over everything.
5
أَلَآ إِنَّهُمْ يَثْنُونَ صُدُورَهُمْ لِيَسْتَخْفُوا۟ مِنْهُ ۚ أَلَا حِينَ يَسْتَغْشُونَ ثِيَابَهُمْ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ alā innahum yathnūna ṣudūrahum liyastakhfū minh ۚ alā ḥīna yastaghshūna thiyābahum ya`lamu mā yusirrūna wa mā yu`linūn ۚ innahu `alīmun bidhātiṣ ṣudūr Look, how they double up their breasts in order to hide from Him. But when they cover themselves up with their garments, He knows what they hide and what they expose. Indeed, He knows the secrets of the hearts.
6
وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا ۚ كُلٌّ فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مُّبِينٍ wa mā min dābbatin fil-arḍi illā `alallāhi rizquhā waya`lamu mustaqarrahā wa mustawda`ahā ۚ kullun fī kitābin mubīn There is not a creature that moves on the earth whose nourishment is not provided by God, whose place of sojourning and depositing is not known to Him. All things conform to a manifest law.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلْمَآءِ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ۗ وَلَئِن قُلْتَ إِنَّكُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ٱلْمَوْتِ لَيَقُولَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ wahuwal ladhī khalaqas samāwāti wal-arḍa fī sittati ayyāmin wakāna `arshuhu `alal-mā-i liyabluwakum ayyukum aḥsanu `amalā ۗ wala-in qulta innakum mab`ūthūna min ba`dil mawti layaqūlannal ladhīna kafarū in hādhā illā siḥrun mubīn It is He who created the heavens and the earth In six spans, and has control over the waters (of life) so that he may bring out the best that everyone of you could do. Yet if you said to them: "You shall certainly be raised from the dead," the unbelievers will say: "This will be nothing but sorcery."
8
وَلَئِنْ أَخَّرْنَا عَنْهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ مَّعْدُودَةٍ لَّيَقُولُنَّ مَا يَحْبِسُهُۥٓ ۗ أَلَا يَوْمَ يَأْتِيهِمْ لَيْسَ مَصْرُوفًا عَنْهُمْ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ wala-in akhharnā `anhumul `adhāba ilā ummatim ma`dūdatin layaqūlunna mā yaḥbisuh ۗ alā yawma ya-tīhim laysa maṣrūfan `anhum waḥāqa bihim mā kānū bihi yastahzi-ūn If We defer their punishment for a certain time, they will say: "What is keeping it back?" And yet, the day it comes, they will not be able to avert it; and what they used to laugh at will encompass them.
9
وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعْنَـٰهَا مِنْهُ إِنَّهُۥ لَيَـُٔوسٌ كَفُورٌ wala-in adhaqnal-insāna minnā raḥmatan thumma naza`nāhā minhu innahu laya-ūsun kafūr If We allow man to enjoy Our favours, and then take them away from him, he becomes despondent and ungrateful.
10
وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَـٰهُ نَعْمَآءَ بَعْدَ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ ذَهَبَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتُ عَنِّىٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَفَرِحٌ فَخُورٌ wala-in adhaqnāhu na`mā-a ba`da ḍarrā-a massat-hu layaqūlanna dhahabas sayyi-ātu `annī ۚ innahu lafariḥun fakhūr If We let him taste Our favours after adversity, he says: "Misfortune has left me," and begins to brag and exult,
11
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ illal ladhīna ṣabarū wa`amiluṣ ṣāliḥāti ulā-ika lahum maghfiratun wa-ajrun kabīr Except those who endure with patience and do the right, who will have pardon and a great reward.
12
فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكٌۢ بَعْضَ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ وَضَآئِقٌۢ بِهِۦ صَدْرُكَ أَن يَقُولُوا۟ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ كَنزٌ أَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهُۥ مَلَكٌ ۚ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ نَذِيرٌ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَكِيلٌ fala`allaka tārikun ba`ḍa mā yūḥā ilayka waḍā-iqun bihi ṣadruka an yaqūlū lawlā unzila `alayhi kanzun aw jā-a ma`ahu malak ۚ innamā anta nadhīr ۚ wallāhu `alā kulli shay-in wakīl You may haply omit some of what has been revealed to you, and may be disheartened because they say: "Why was no treasure sent down to him, or an angel accompanied him?" Yet you have been sent to warn alone, for God takes care of everything.
13
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ ۖ قُلْ فَأْتُوا۟ بِعَشْرِ سُوَرٍ مِّثْلِهِۦ مُفْتَرَيَـٰتٍ وَٱدْعُوا۟ مَنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ am yaqūlūnaf-tarāh ۖ qul fa-tū bi`ashri suwarin mithlihi muftarayātin wad`ū manis-taṭa`tum min dūnillāhi in kuntum ṣādiqīn Do they say (of the Prophet): "He has forged (the Qur'an)?" Say: "Then bring ten Surahs like it, and call anyone except God to help you, if what you say is true."
14
فَإِلَّمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَكُمْ فَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّمَآ أُنزِلَ بِعِلْمِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَن لَّآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ fa-illam yastajībū lakum fa`lamū annamā unzila bi`il-millāhi wa-an lā ilāha illā huw ۖ fahal antum muslimūn If they do not answer you, then know it has been revealed with the knowledge of God, and that there is no god but He. (And say:) "Will you now submit?"
15
مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا نُوَفِّ إِلَيْهِمْ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ فِيهَا وَهُمْ فِيهَا لَا يُبْخَسُونَ man kāna yurīdul ḥayātad dunyā wazīnatahā nuwaffi ilayhim a`mālahum fīhā wahum fīhā lā yubkhasūn To those who desire the life of this world and its many allures, We shall pay them in full for their acts herein and will not withold any thing.
16
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ إِلَّا ٱلنَّارُ ۖ وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُوا۟ فِيهَا وَبَـٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ulā-ikal ladhīna laysa lahum fil-ākhirati illan nār ۖ waḥabiṭa mā ṣana`ū fīhā wabāṭilun mā kānū ya`malūn Yet these are the people for whom there is nothing but Fire in the world to come. Fruitless will be what they have fashioned, and whatever they have done will perish.
17
أَفَمَن كَانَ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ وَيَتْلُوهُ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْهُ وَمِن قَبْلِهِۦ كِتَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِمَامًا وَرَحْمَةً ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ ۚ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلْأَحْزَابِ فَٱلنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهُۥ ۚ فَلَا تَكُ فِى مِرْيَةٍ مِّنْهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ afaman kāna `alā bayyinatim min rabbihi wayatlūhu shāhidun minhu wa min qablihi kitābu mūsā imāman waraḥmah ۚ ulā-ika yu-minūna bih ۚ wa man yakfur bihi minal-aḥzābi fan nāru maw`iduh ۚ falā taku fī miryatim minh ۚ innahul ḥaqqu min rabbika walākinna aktharan nāsi lā yu-minūn Will he who has a clear proof from his Lord, which acts as evidence from Him, before which the Book of Moses was a way-giver and a grace, (not believe in it)? Whoever among the partisans does not believe in it shall have Hell as the promised award. So have no doubt about it, for surely it's the truth from your Lord, though most men may not believe.
18
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْأَشْهَـٰدُ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا۟ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ ۚ أَلَا لَعْنَةُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ wa man aẓlamu mimmanif-tarā `alallāhi kadhibā ۚ ulā-ika yu`raḍūna `alā rabbihim wayaqūlul-ash-hādu hā-ulā-il ladhīna kadhabū `alā rabbihim ۚ alā la`natullāhi `alaẓ ẓālimīn Who is more wicked than he who invents lies about God? Such men shall be arraigned before their Lord, and the witnesses will testify: "These are those who imputed lies to God." Beware! The scourge of God will fall on the unjust,
19
ٱلَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا وَهُم بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمْ كَـٰفِرُونَ alladhīna yaṣuddūna `an sabīlillāhi wayabghūnahā `iwajan wahum bil-ākhirati hum kāfirūn Who obstruct others from the way of God and seek obliquity in it, and do not believe in the life to come.
20
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَمْ يَكُونُوا۟ مُعْجِزِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَآءَ ۘ يُضَـٰعَفُ لَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۚ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يُبْصِرُونَ ulā-ika lam yakūnū mu`jizīna fil-arḍi wa mā kāna lahum min dūnillāhi min awliyā-a ۘ yuḍā`afu lahumul `adhāb ۚ mā kānū yastaṭī`ūnas sam`a wa mā kānū yubṣirūn They shall not weaken (the power of) God on earth, nor find any other protector but God. Their punishment will be doubled, for they could neither hear nor see.
21
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ ulā-ikal ladhīna khasirū anfusahum waḍalla `anhum mā kānū yaftarūn They are verily those who exceeded themselves, and the (gods) they invented abandoned them.
22
لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلْأَخْسَرُونَ lā jarama annahum fil-ākhirati humul-akhsarūn Undoubtedly they will be losers in the life to come.
23
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَأَخْبَتُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ innal ladhīna āmanū wa`amiluṣ ṣāliḥāti wa-akhbatū ilā rabbihim ulā-ika aṣ-ḥābul jannah ۖ hum fīhā khālidūn But those who believe and do things good, and are humble before their Lord, are men of Paradise where they will abide for ever.
24
مَثَلُ ٱلْفَرِيقَيْنِ كَٱلْأَعْمَىٰ وَٱلْأَصَمِّ وَٱلْبَصِيرِ وَٱلسَّمِيعِ ۚ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلًا ۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ mathalul farīqayni kal-a`mā wal-aṣammi wal baṣīri was samī` ۚ hal yastawiyāni mathalā ۚ afalā tadhakkarūn The semblance of these two groups is that of a man who is deaf and blind, and the other who can hear and see. Can they be equal? Why do you not reflect?
25
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنِّى لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ walaqad arsalnā nūḥan ilā qawmihi innī lakum nadhīrun mubīn We sent Noah to his people (and he said): "I give you a clear warning.
26

27
فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ مَا نَرَىٰكَ إِلَّا بَشَرًا مِّثْلَنَا وَمَا نَرَىٰكَ ٱتَّبَعَكَ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ أَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِىَ ٱلرَّأْىِ وَمَا نَرَىٰ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍۭ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كَـٰذِبِينَ faqālal-mala-ul ladhīna kafarū min qawmihi mā narāka illā basharan mithlanā wa mā narākat-taba`aka illal ladhīna hum arādhilunā bādiyar ra-yi wa mā narā lakum `alaynā min faḍlin bal naẓunnukum kādhibīn The leaders of the people who were unbelievers, replied: "We see that you are but a man like us, and see that none among us follows you but the meanest and immature of judgement, and do not see any excellence in you above us. In fact, we think you are a liar."
28
قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّى وَءَاتَىٰنِى رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِهِۦ فَعُمِّيَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنُلْزِمُكُمُوهَا وَأَنتُمْ لَهَا كَـٰرِهُونَ qāla yāqawmi ara aytum in kuntu `alā bayyinatim min rabbī wa-ātānī raḥmatan min `indihi fa`ummiyat `alaykum anulzimukumūhā wa-antum lahā kārihūn He said: "O my people, think. If I have a clear proof from my Lord, and He has bestowed on me His grace, though unknown to you, can we force it upon you when you are averse?
29
وَيَـٰقَوْمِ لَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مَالًا ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّهُم مُّلَـٰقُوا۟ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَـٰكِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُونَ wayāqawmi lā as-alukum `alayhi mālā ۖ in ajriya illā `alallāh ۚ wa mā ana biṭāridil ladhīna āmanū ۚ innahum mulāqū rabbihim walākinnī arākum qawman tajhalūn I do not demand for it any wealth from you, O my people. My reward is with God. And I will not drive those away who believe. They have also to meet their Lord. But I see you are an ignorant people.
30
وَيَـٰقَوْمِ مَن يَنصُرُنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهِ إِن طَرَدتُّهُمْ ۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ wayāqawmi man yanṣurunī minallāhi in ṭaradtuhum ۚ afalā tadhakkarūn O my people, who will save me from God if I drive them away? Do you not understand?
31
وَلَآ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِندِى خَزَآئِنُ ٱللَّهِ وَلَآ أَعْلَمُ ٱلْغَيْبَ وَلَآ أَقُولُ إِنِّى مَلَكٌ وَلَآ أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزْدَرِىٓ أَعْيُنُكُمْ لَن يُؤْتِيَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ خَيْرًا ۖ ٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ ۖ إِنِّىٓ إِذًا لَّمِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ walā aqūlu lakum `indī khazā-inullāhi walā a`lamul ghayba walā aqūlu innī malakun walā aqūlu lilladhīna tazdarī a`yunukum lan yu-tiyahumullāhu khayrā ۖ allāhu a`lamu bimā fī anfusihim ۖ innī idhal laminaẓ ẓālimīn I say not that I have the treasures of God, or that I possess the knowledge of the unknown. I do not claim to be an angel, nor can I say that God will not bestow any good on those you disdain, for God is cognisant of what is in their hearts. If I say this, I will surely be unjust."
32
قَالُوا۟ يَـٰنُوحُ قَدْ جَـٰدَلْتَنَا فَأَكْثَرْتَ جِدَٰلَنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ qālū yānūḥu qad jādaltanā fa-aktharta jidālanā fa-tinā bimā ta`idunā in kunta minaṣ ṣādiqīn They said: "O Noah, you have argued with us, and disputed at length; so bring that (retribution) you promise, if you speak the truth."
33
قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَأْتِيكُم بِهِ ٱللَّهُ إِن شَآءَ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ qāla innamā ya-tīkum bihillāhu in shā-a wa mā antum bimu`jizīn He replied: "Only God will bring it on you if He please, and you cannot prevail against Him.
34
وَلَا يَنفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِىٓ إِنْ أَرَدتُّ أَنْ أَنصَحَ لَكُمْ إِن كَانَ ٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يُغْوِيَكُمْ ۚ هُوَ رَبُّكُمْ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ walā yanfa`ukum nuṣ-ḥī in aradtu an anṣaḥa lakum in kānallāhu yurīdu an yughwiyakum ۚ huwa rabbukum wa ilayhi turja`ūn Even if I wish to advise you aright, my counsel will not profit you if God intend that you go astray, for He is your Lord and to Him you will return."
35
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ ۖ قُلْ إِنِ ٱفْتَرَيْتُهُۥ فَعَلَىَّ إِجْرَامِى وَأَنَا۠ بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُجْرِمُونَ am yaqūlūnaf-tarāh ۖ qul inif-taraytuhu fa`alayya ijrāmī wa-ana barī-un mimmā tujrimūn Do they say you have fabricated it? Tell them: "If I have fabricated it, then mine is the guilt; but I am clear of what you are guilty."
36
وَأُوحِىَ إِلَىٰ نُوحٍ أَنَّهُۥ لَن يُؤْمِنَ مِن قَوْمِكَ إِلَّا مَن قَدْ ءَامَنَ فَلَا تَبْتَئِسْ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ wa-ūḥiya ilā nūḥin annahu lan yu-mina min qawmika illā man qad āmana falā tabta-is bimā kānū yaf`alūn And Noah was informed through revelation: "Apart from those who have come to believe already not one of your people is going to believe. So grieve not for what they are doing.
37
وَٱصْنَعِ ٱلْفُلْكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا وَلَا تُخَـٰطِبْنِى فِى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّهُم مُّغْرَقُونَ waṣna`il fulka bi-a`yuninā wawaḥyinā walā tukhāṭibnī fil ladhīna ẓalamū ۚ innahum mughraqūn Build an ark under Our eye and as We instruct. Do not plead for those who have been wicked, for they shall certainly be drowned."
38
وَيَصْنَعُ ٱلْفُلْكَ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ مَلَأٌ مِّن قَوْمِهِۦ سَخِرُوا۟ مِنْهُ ۚ قَالَ إِن تَسْخَرُوا۟ مِنَّا فَإِنَّا نَسْخَرُ مِنكُمْ كَمَا تَسْخَرُونَ wayaṣna`ul fulka wakullamā marra `alayhi mala-un min qawmihi sakhirū minh ۚ qāla in taskharū minnā fa-innā naskharu minkum kamā taskharūn So he built the ark; and when groups of his people passed by him, they scoffed at him. He said to them: "Though you laugh at us (now), we shall laugh at you, as you are laughing at us.
39

قَالُوا۟ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا لَنَا فِى بَنَاتِكَ مِنْ حَقٍّ وَإِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ مَا نُرِيدُ qālū laqad `alimta mā lanā fī banātika min ḥaqqin wa innaka lata`lamu mā nurīd They said: "You know we have no need for your daughters, and know well what we want."
80
قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِى بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ ءَاوِىٓ إِلَىٰ رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ qāla law anna lī bikum quwwatan aw āwy ilā ruknin shadīd "I wish I had the power to resist you," said (Lot), "or powerful support."
81
قَالُوا۟ يَـٰلُوطُ إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَن يَصِلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْكَ ۖ فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَكَ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ مُصِيبُهَا مَآ أَصَابَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ مَوْعِدَهُمُ ٱلصُّبْحُ ۚ أَلَيْسَ ٱلصُّبْحُ بِقَرِيبٍ qālū yālūṭu innā rusulu rabbika lan yaṣilū ilayk ۖ fa-asri bi-ahlika biqiṭ`in minal layli walā yaltafit minkum aḥadun illam-ra-atak ۖ innahu muṣībuhā mā aṣābahum ۚ inna maw`idahumuṣ ṣubḥ ۚ alaysaṣ ṣubḥu biqarīb (The angels) said: "O Lot, we have verily been sent by your Lord. They will never be able to harm you. So, leave late at night with your family, and none of you should turn back to look; but your wife will suffer (the fate) they are going to suffer. Their hour of doom is in the morning: Is not the morning nigh?"
82
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا جَعَلْنَا عَـٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهَا حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ مَّنضُودٍ falammā jā-a amrunā ja`alnā `āliyahā sāfilahā wa-amṭarnā `alayhā ḥijāratan min sijjīlin manḍūd So when the decreed moment arrived, We turned the habitations upside down, and rained upon them stones of hardened lava in quick succession,
83
مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ ۖ وَمَا هِىَ مِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ بِبَعِيدٍ musawwamatan `inda rabbik ۖ wa mā hiya minaẓ ẓālimīna biba`īd Impressed with (the signs) of your Lord. And such (punishment) is not far for the (other) transgressers.
84

He said: "O my people, worship God; you have no other god but He. So do not give in short measure nor underweigh. I see you are prosperous, but I fear the doom of an overwhelming Day for you.
85
وَيَـٰقَوْمِ أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْمِكْيَالَ وَٱلْمِيزَانَ بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۖ وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ wayāqawmi awful mikyāla wal mīzāna bil qisṭ ۖ walā tabkhasun nāsa ashyā-ahum walā ta`thaw fil-arḍi mufsidīn So, O my people, weigh and measure with justness, and do not withhold things due to men, and do not spread corruption in the land, despoiling it.
86
بَقِيَّتُ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۚ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ عَلَيْكُم بِحَفِيظٍ baqiyyatullāhi khayrul lakum in kuntum mu-minīn ۚ wa mā ana `alaykum biḥafīẓ That which is left to you by God is better, if you are true believers; yet I am not a warden over you."
87
قَالُوا۟ يَـٰشُعَيْبُ أَصَلَوٰتُكَ تَأْمُرُكَ أَن نَّتْرُكَ مَا يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَآ أَوْ أَن نَّفْعَلَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِنَا مَا نَشَـٰٓؤُا۟ ۖ إِنَّكَ لَأَنتَ ٱلْحَلِيمُ ٱلرَّشِيدُ qālū yāshu`aybu aṣalātuka ta-muruka an natruka mā ya`budu ābā-unā aw an naf`ala fī amwālinā mā nashā-u ۖ innaka la-antal ḥalīmur rashīd They said: "O Shu'aib, does your piety teach that we should abandon what our fathers worshipped, or desist from doing what we like with our goods? How gracious a man of discernment you are indeed!"
88

I have a clear sign from my Lord, who has also given me a goodly provision, and I do not wish for myself what I forbid you: I only wish to reform you as best I can. My success is from God alone. In Him I have placed my trust, and to Him I turn.

91

But for your clan we would have stoned you to death. You have no power over us.
92
قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ أَرَهْطِىٓ أَعَزُّ عَلَيْكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَٱتَّخَذْتُمُوهُ وَرَآءَكُمْ ظِهْرِيًّا ۖ إِنَّ رَبِّى بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطٌ qāla yāqawmi arahṭī a`azzu `alaykum minallāhi wattakhadhtumūhu warā-akum ẓihriyyā ۖ inna rabbī bimā ta`malūna muḥīṭ He said: "My clan seems mightier to you than God whom you neglect and push behind your backs. Surely what you do is within the power of my Lord.

You will come to know who suffers the punishment that would put him to shame, and who is the liar. So watch; I am watching with you."
94

When your Lord's chastisement descended upon them, their gods, on whom they called apart from God, were not of the least avail, and all they did was only to add to their destruction.
102
وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَآ أَخَذَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ وَهِىَ ظَـٰلِمَةٌ ۚ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُۥٓ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ wakadhālika akhdhu rabbika idhā akhadhal qurā wahiya ẓālimah ۚ inna akhdhahu alīmun shadīd Such is the punishment of your Lord when He seizes human settlements in the acts of wickedness. Surely His hold is grievous and terrible.

104
وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهُۥٓ إِلَّا لِأَجَلٍ مَّعْدُودٍ wa mā nu-akhhiruhu illā li-ajalin ma`dūd We are deferring it only for a time ordained.

We shall verily give them their meed without diminution.

Had the decree of your Lord (delaying it) not been issued the matter would have been settled between them. They are still suspicious of it and in doubt.
111

Those who were wicked followed that which made them dissolute, and became sinners.

But they would still have differed from one another,

وَلِلَّهِ غَيْبُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُ ٱلْأَمْرُ كُلُّهُۥ فَٱعْبُدْهُ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَيْهِ ۚ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَـٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ walillāhi ghaybus samāwāti wal-arḍi wa ilayhi yurja`ul-amru kulluhu fa`bud-hu watawakkal `alayh ۚ wa mā rabbuka bighāfilin `ammā ta`malūn To God belong the secrets of the heavens and the earth, and all things will go back to Him. So worship Him and put your trust in Him; your Lord is not heedless of what you do.
