وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ wal qur-ānil ḥakīm By the Wise Quran,
3
إِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ innaka laminal mursalīn you are indeed one of the apostles,
4
عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ `alā ṣirāṭin mustaqīm on a straight path.
5
تَنزِيلَ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ tanzīlal-`azīzir raḥīm [It is a scripture] sent down gradually from the All-mighty, the All-merciful
6
لِتُنذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّآ أُنذِرَ ءَابَآؤُهُمْ فَهُمْ غَـٰفِلُونَ litundhira qawman mā undhira ābā-uhum fahum ghāfilūn that you may warn a people whose fathers were not warned, so they are oblivious.
7
لَقَدْ حَقَّ ٱلْقَوْلُ عَلَىٰٓ أَكْثَرِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ laqad ḥaqqal qawlu `alā aktharihim fahum lā yu-minūn The word has certainly become due against most of them, so they will not have faith.
8
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا فِىٓ أَعْنَـٰقِهِمْ أَغْلَـٰلًا فَهِىَ إِلَى ٱلْأَذْقَانِ فَهُم مُّقْمَحُونَ innā ja`alnā fī a`nāqihim aghlālan fahiya ilal-adhqāni fahum muqmaḥūn Indeed We have put iron collars around their necks, which are up to the chins, so their heads are upturned.
9
وَجَعَلْنَا مِنۢ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا فَأَغْشَيْنَـٰهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ waja`alnā min bayni aydīhim saddan wa min khalfihim saddan fa-aghshaynāhum fahum lā yubṣirūn And We have put a barrier before them and a barrier behind them, then We have blind-folded them, so they do not see.
10
وَسَوَآءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَأَنذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنذِرْهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ wasawā-un `alayhim a-andhartahum am lam tundhirhum lā yu-minūn It is the same to them whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not have faith.
11
إِنَّمَا تُنذِرُ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلذِّكْرَ وَخَشِىَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنَ بِٱلْغَيْبِ ۖ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِمَغْفِرَةٍ وَأَجْرٍ كَرِيمٍ innamā tundhiru manit-taba`adh dhikra wakhashiyar raḥmāna bil ghayb ۖ fabashhirhu bimaghfiratin wa-ajrin karīm You can only warn someone who follows the Reminder and fears the All-beneficent in secret; so give him the good news of forgiveness and a noble reward.
12
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْىِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ وَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُوا۟ وَءَاثَـٰرَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَـٰهُ فِىٓ إِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ innā naḥnu nuḥyil mawtā wanaktubu mā qaddamū wa-āthārahum ۚ wakulla shay-in aḥṣaynāhu fī imāmin mubīn Indeed it is We who revive the dead and write what they have sent ahead and their effects [which they left behind], and We have figured everything in a manifest Imam.
13
وَٱضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلًا أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ إِذْ جَآءَهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ waḍrib lahum mathalan aṣ-ḥābal qaryati idh jā-ahal mursalūn Cite for them the example of the inhabitants of the town when the apostles came to it.
14
إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْهِمُ ٱثْنَيْنِ فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَعَزَّزْنَا بِثَالِثٍ فَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ إِلَيْكُم مُّرْسَلُونَ idh arsalnā ilayhimuth-nayni fakadhhabūhumā fa`azzaznā bithālithin faqālū innā ilaykum mursalūn When We sent to them two [apostles], they impugned both of them. Then We reinforced them with a third, and they said, ‘We have indeed been sent to you.’
15
قَالُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا وَمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ مِن شَىْءٍ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا تَكْذِبُونَ qālū mā antum illā basharun mithlunā wa mā anzalar raḥmānu min shay-in in antum illā takdhibūn They said, ‘You are no other than human beings like us, and the All-beneficent has not sent down anything, and you are only lying.’
16
قَالُوا۟ رَبُّنَا يَعْلَمُ إِنَّآ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمُرْسَلُونَ qālū rabbunā ya`lamu innā ilaykum lamursalūn They said, ‘Our Lord knows that we have indeed been sent to you,
17
وَمَا عَلَيْنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ wa mā `alaynā illal-balāghul mubīn and our duty is only to communicate in clear terms.’
18
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا تَطَيَّرْنَا بِكُمْ ۖ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهُوا۟ لَنَرْجُمَنَّكُمْ وَلَيَمَسَّنَّكُم مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ qālū innā taṭayyarnā bikum ۖ la-in lam tantahū lanarjumannakum walayamassannakum minnā `adhābun alīm They said, ‘Indeed we take you for a bad omen. If you do not desist we will stone you, and surely a painful punishment will visit you from us.’
19
قَالُوا۟ طَـٰٓئِرُكُم مَّعَكُمْ ۚ أَئِن ذُكِّرْتُم ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّسْرِفُونَ qālū ṭā-irukum ma`akum ۚ a-in dhukkirtum ۚ bal antum qawmun musrifūn They said, ‘Your bad omens attend you. What! If you are admonished.... Indeed, you are an unrestrained lot.’
20
وَجَآءَ مِنْ أَقْصَا ٱلْمَدِينَةِ رَجُلٌ يَسْعَىٰ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱتَّبِعُوا۟ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ wajā-a min aqṣal madīnati rajulun yas`ā qāla yāqawmit-tabi`ul mursalīn There came a man hurrying from the city outskirts. He said, ‘O my people! Follow the apostles!
21

22
وَمَا لِىَ لَآ أَعْبُدُ ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنِى وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ wa mā liya lā a`budul ladhī faṭaranī wa ilayhi turja`ūn Why should I not worship Him who has originated me, and to whom you shall be brought back?
23
ءَأَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً إِن يُرِدْنِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ بِضُرٍّ لَّا تُغْنِ عَنِّى شَفَـٰعَتُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا يُنقِذُونِ a-attakhidhu min dūnihi ālihatan in yuridnir raḥmānu biḍurrin lā tughni `annī shafā`atuhum shay-an walā yunqidhūn Shall I take gods besides Him? If the All-beneficent desired to cause me any distress, their intercession will not avail me in any way, nor will they rescue me.
24
إِنِّىٓ إِذًا لَّفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ innī idhal lafī ḍalālin mubīn Indeed, then I would be in manifest error.
25
إِنِّىٓ ءَامَنتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ فَٱسْمَعُونِ innī āmantu birabbikum fasma`ūn Indeed I have faith in your Lord, so listen to me.’
26
قِيلَ ٱدْخُلِ ٱلْجَنَّةَ ۖ قَالَ يَـٰلَيْتَ قَوْمِى يَعْلَمُونَ qīlad-khulil jannah ۖ qāla yālayta qawmī ya`lamūn He was told, ‘Enter paradise!’ He said, ‘Alas! Had my people only known
27
بِمَا غَفَرَ لِى رَبِّى وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُكْرَمِينَ bimā ghafara lī rabbī waja`alanī minal mukramīn for what my Lord forgave me and made me one of the honoured ones!’
28
وَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ مِن جُندٍ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا كُنَّا مُنزِلِينَ wa mā anzalnā `alā qawmihi min ba`dihi min jundin minas samā-i wa mā kunnā munzilīn After him We did not send down on his people a host from the sky, nor We would have sent down.
29
إِن كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَٰحِدَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ خَـٰمِدُونَ in kānat illā ṣayḥatan wāḥidatan fa-idhā hum khāmidūn It was but a single Cry, and, behold, they were stilled [like burnt ashes]!
30
يَـٰحَسْرَةً عَلَى ٱلْعِبَادِ ۚ مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ yāḥasratan `alal-`ibād ۚ mā ya-tīhim min rasūlin illā kānū bihi yastahzi-ūn How regrettable of the servants! There did not come to them any apostle but that they used to deride him.
31
أَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ alam yaraw kam ahlaknā qablahum minal qurūni annahum ilayhim lā yarji`ūn Have they not regarded how many generations We have destroyed before them who will not come back to them?
32
وَإِن كُلٌّ لَّمَّا جَمِيعٌ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ wa in kullul lammā jamī`ul ladaynā muḥḍarūn And all of them will indeed be presented before Us.
33
وَءَايَةٌ لَّهُمُ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلْمَيْتَةُ أَحْيَيْنَـٰهَا وَأَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهَا حَبًّا فَمِنْهُ يَأْكُلُونَ wa-āyatun lahumul-arḍul maytatu aḥyaynāhā wa-akhrajnā minhā ḥabban faminhu ya-kulūn A sign for them is the dead earth, which We revive and bring forth grain out of it, so they eat of it.
34
وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا جَنَّـٰتٍ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَـٰبٍ وَفَجَّرْنَا فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْعُيُونِ waja`alnā fīhā jannātin min nakhīlin wa-a`nābin wafajjarnā fīhā minal `uyūn We make in it orchards of date palms and vines, and We cause springs to gush forth in it,

36
سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْأَزْوَٰجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَمِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ subḥānal ladhī khalaqal-azwāja kullahā mimmā tunbitul-arḍu wa min anfusihim wa mimmā lā ya`lamūn Immaculate is He who has created all the kinds of what the earth grows, and of themselves, and of what they do not know.

40
لَا ٱلشَّمْسُ يَنۢبَغِى لَهَآ أَن تُدْرِكَ ٱلْقَمَرَ وَلَا ٱلَّيْلُ سَابِقُ ٱلنَّهَارِ ۚ وَكُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ lash shamsu yanbaghī lahā an tudrikal qamara walal laylu sābiqun nahār ۚ wakullun fī falakiy yasbaḥūn Neither it behooves the sun to overtake the moon, nor may the night outrun the day, and each swims in an orbit.

42
وَخَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّن مِّثْلِهِۦ مَا يَرْكَبُونَ wakhalaqnā lahum min mithlihi mā yarkabūn and We have created for them what is similar to it, which they ride.
43
وَإِن نَّشَأْ نُغْرِقْهُمْ فَلَا صَرِيخَ لَهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنقَذُونَ wa in nasha-nughriqhum falā ṣarīkha lahum walā hum yunqadhūn And if We like We drown them, whereat they have no one to call for help, nor are they rescued
44

You are only in manifest error.’
48
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ wayaqūlūna matā hādhal wa`du in kuntum ṣādiqīn And they say, ‘When will this promise be fulfilled, should you be truthful?’

وَذَلَّلْنَـٰهَا لَهُمْ فَمِنْهَا رَكُوبُهُمْ وَمِنْهَا يَأْكُلُونَ wadhallalnāhā lahum faminhā rakūbuhum wa minhā ya-kulūn And We made them tractable for them; so some of them make their mounts and some of them they eat.
73
وَلَهُمْ فِيهَا مَنَـٰفِعُ وَمَشَارِبُ ۖ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ walahum fīhā manāfi`u wa mashārib ۖ afalā yashkurūn There are other benefits for them therein, and drinks. Will they not then give thanks?
74
وَٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ءَالِهَةً لَّعَلَّهُمْ يُنصَرُونَ wattakhadhū min dūnillāhi ālihatan la`allahum yunṣarūn They have taken gods besides Allah, [hoping] that they might be helped [by the fake deities].
75

76
فَلَا يَحْزُنكَ قَوْلُهُمْ ۘ إِنَّا نَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ falā yaḥzunka qawluhum ۘ innā na`lamu mā yusirrūna wa mā yu`linūn So do not let their remarks grieve you. We indeed know whatever they hide and whatever they disclose.
77
أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُّبِينٌ awalam yaral-insānu annā khalaqnāhu min nuṭfatin fa-idhā huwa khaṣīmun mubīn Does not man see that We created him from a drop of [seminal] fluid, and, behold, he is an open contender!?
78
وَضَرَبَ لَنَا مَثَلًا وَنَسِىَ خَلْقَهُۥ ۖ قَالَ مَن يُحْىِ ٱلْعِظَـٰمَ وَهِىَ رَمِيمٌ waḍaraba lanā mathalan wanasiya khalqah ۖ qāla man yuḥyil `iẓāma wahiya ramīm He draws comparisons for Us, and forgets his own creation. He says, ‘Who shall revive the bones when they have decayed?’
79
قُلْ يُحْيِيهَا ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَهَآ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ ۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ خَلْقٍ عَلِيمٌ qul yuḥyīhal ladhī ansha-ahā awwala marrah ۖ wahuwa bikulli khalqin `alīm Say, ‘He will revive them who produced them the first time, and He has knowledge of all creation.
80
ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ ٱلْأَخْضَرِ نَارًا فَإِذَآ أَنتُم مِّنْهُ تُوقِدُونَ alladhī ja`ala lakum minash shajaril-akhḍari nāran fa-idhā antum minhu tūqidūn He, who made for you fire out of the green tree, and, behold, you light fire from it!
81
أَوَلَيْسَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُم ۚ بَلَىٰ وَهُوَ ٱلْخَلَّـٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ awalaysal ladhī khalaqas samāwāti wal-arḍa biqādirin `alā an yakhluqa mithlahum ۚ balā wahuwal khallāqul `alīm Is not He who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Yes indeed! He is the All-creator, the All-knowing.
82
إِنَّمَآ أَمْرُهُۥٓ إِذَآ أَرَادَ شَيْـًٔا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ innamā amruhu idhā arāda shay-an an yaqūla lahu kun fayakūn All His command, when He wills something, is to say to it ‘Be,’ and it is.
83
فَسُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِۦ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ fasubḥānal ladhī biyadihi malakūtu kulli shay-in wa ilayhi turja`ūn So immaculate is He in whose hand is the dominion of all things, and to whom you shall be brought back.
