وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ
Wa aatainaahumal Kitaabal mustabeen
And We gave them the clear Scripture
وَهَدَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ
Wa hadainaahumus Siraatal Mustaqeem
And showed them the right path.
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
Wa taraknaa 'alaihimaa fil aakhireen
And We left for them among the later folk (the salutation):
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
Salaamun 'alaa Moosaa wa Haaroon
Peace be unto Moses and Aaron!
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen
Lo! thus do We reward the good.
إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Innahumaa min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen
Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves.
وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa inna Ilyaasa laminal mursaleen
And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn),
إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
Iz qaala liqawmiheee alaa tattaqoon
When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil)?
أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًۭا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ
Atad'oona Ba'lanw wa tazaroona ahsanal khaaliqeen
Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators,
ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Allaaha Rabbakum wa Rabba aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen
Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers?
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
Fakazzaboohu fa inna hum lamuhdaroon
But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom)
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
Wa taraknaa 'alaihi fil aakhireen
And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ
Salaamun 'alaaa Ilyaaseen
Peace be unto Elias!
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen
Lo! thus do We reward the good.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Innahoo min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen
Lo! he is one of our believing slaves.
وَإِنَّ لُوطًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa inna Lootal laminal mursaleen
And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn).
إِذْ نَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ
Iz najjainaahu wa ahlahooo ajma'een
When We saved him and his household, every one,
إِلَّا عَجُوزًۭا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ
Illaa 'ajoozan fil ghaabireen
Save an old woman among those who stayed behind;
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ
Summa dammarnal aakhareen
Then We destroyed the others.
وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ
Wa innakum latamurroona 'alaihim musbiheen
And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning
وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
Wa billail; afalaa ta'qiloon
And at night-time; have ye then no sense?
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa inna Yoonusa laminal mursaleen
And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn)
إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ
Iz abaqa ilal fulkil mash hoon
When he fled unto the laden ship,
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ
Fasaahama fakaana minal mudhadeen
And then drew lots and was of those rejected;
فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ
Faltaqamahul hootu wa huwa muleem
And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;
فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ
Falaw laaa annahoo kaana minal musabbiheen
And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)
لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
Lalabisa fee batniheee ilaa Yawmi yub'asoon
He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised;
۞ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌۭ
Fanabaznaahu bil'araaa'i wa huwa saqeem
Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick;
وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةًۭ مِّن يَقْطِينٍۢ
Wa ambatnaa 'alaihi shajaratam mai yaqteen
And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him;
وَأَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ
Wa arsalnaahu ilaa mi'ati alfin aw yazeedoon
And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more
فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ
Fa aamanoo famatta' naahum ilaa heen
And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ
Fastaftihim ali Rabbikal banaatu wa lahumul banoon
Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons?
أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثًۭا وَهُمْ شَٰهِدُونَ
Am khalaqnal malaaa'i kata inaasanw wa hm shaahidoon
Or created We the angels females while they were present?
أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ
Alaaa innahum min ifkihim la yaqooloon
Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say:
وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ
Waladal laahu wa innhum lakaaziboon
Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie.
أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ
Astafal banaati 'alal baneen
(And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons.
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
Maa lakum kaifa tahkumoon
What aileth you? How judge ye?
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Afalaa tazakkaroon
Will ye not then reflect?
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Am lakum sultaanum mubeen
Or have ye a clear warrant?
فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Faatoo bi Kitaabikum in kuntum saadiqeen
Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful.
وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًۭا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
Wa ja'aloo bainahoo wa bainal jinnati nasabaa; wa laqad 'alimatil jinnatu innahum lamuhdaroon
And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).
سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Subhaanal laahi 'ammaa yasifoon
Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him),
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ
Fa innakum wa maa ta'ubdoon
Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship,
مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ
Maaa antum 'alaihi befaaatineen
Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him.
إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Illaa man huwa saalil jaheem
Save him who is to burn in hell.
وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ
Wa maa minnasa illaa lahoo maqaamum ma'loom
There is not one of us but hath his known position.
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ
Wa innaa llanah nus saaffoon
Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks,
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ
Wa innaa lanah nul musabbihoon
Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise
وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ
Wa in kaanoo la yaqooloon
And indeed they used to say:
لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Law anna 'indana zikram minal awwaleen
If we had but a reminder from the men of old
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Lakunna 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
We would be single-minded slaves of Allah.
فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Fakafaroo bihee fasawfa ya'lamoon
Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa laqad sabaqat Kalimatunaa li'ibaadinal mursa leen
And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)
إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ
Innaa hum lahumul mansooroon
That they verily would be helped,
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ
Wa inna jundana lahumul ghaaliboon
And that Our host, they verily would be the victors.
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ
Fatawalla 'anhum hatta heen
So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile,
وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Wa absirhum fasawfa yubsiroon
And watch, for they will (soon) see.
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Afabi'azaabinaa yasta'jiloon
Would they hasten on Our doom?
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
Fa izaa nazala bisaahatihim fasaaa'a sabaahul munzareen
But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned.
وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ
Wa tawalla 'anhum hattaa heen
Withdraw from them awhile
وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Wa absir fasawfa yubsiroon
And watch, for they will (soon) see.
سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Subhaana Rabbika Rabbil 'izzati 'amma yasifoon
Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him)
وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa salaamun 'alalmursaleen
And peace be unto those sent (to warn).
وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Walhamdu lillaahi Rabbil 'aalameen
And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!
