وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
Wal Kitaabil Mubeen
By the Scripture that maketh plain
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍۢ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ
Innaaa anzalnaahu fee lailatim mubaarakah; innaa kunnaa munzireen
Lo! We revealed it on a blessed night - Lo! We are ever warning -
فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ
Feehaa yufraqu kullu amrin hakeem
Whereon every wise command is made clear
أَمْرًۭا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ
Amram min 'indinaaa; innaa kunnaa mursileen
As a command from Our presence - Lo! We are ever sending -
رَحْمَةًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
Rahmatam mir rabbik; innahoo Huwas Samee'ul 'Aleem
A mercy from thy Lord. Lo! He, even He is the Hearer, the Knower,
رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ
Rabbis samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa; in kuntum mooqineen
Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye would be sure.
لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa yuhyee wa yumeetu Rabbukum wa Rabbu aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen
There is no Allah save Him. He quickeneth and giveth death; your Lord and Lord of your forefathers.
بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّۢ يَلْعَبُونَ
Bal hum fee shakkiny yal'aboon
Nay, but they play in doubt.
فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
Fartaqib Yawma taatis samaaa'u bidukhaanim mubeen
But watch thou (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce visible smoke
يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ
Yaghshan naasa haazaa 'azaabun aleem
That will envelop the people. This will be a painful torment.
رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ
Rabbanak shif 'annal 'azaaba innaa mu'minoon
(Then they will say): Our Lord relieve us of the torment. Lo! we are believers.
أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Annaa lahumuz zikraa wa qad jaaa'ahum Rasoolum mubeen
How can there be remembrance for them, when a messenger making plain (the Truth) had already come unto them,
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌۭ مَّجْنُونٌ
Summaa tawallaw 'anhu wa qaaloo mu'allamum majnoon
And they had turned away from him and said: One taught (by others), a madman?
إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ
Innaa kaashiful 'azaabi qaleelaa; innakum 'aaa'indoon
Lo! We withdraw the torment a little. Lo! ye return (to disbelief).
يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ
Yawma nabtishul batsha tal kubraa innaa muntaqimoon
On the day when We shall seize them with the greater seizure, (then) in truth We shall punish.
۞ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ كَرِيمٌ
Wa laqad fatannaa qablahum qawma Fir'awna wa jaaa'ahum Rasoolun kareem
And verily We tried before them Pharaoh's folk, when there came unto them a noble messenger,
أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ
An addooo ilaiya 'ibaadal laahi innee lakum Rasoolun ameen
Saying: Give up to me the slaves of Allah. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you.
وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
Wa al laa ta'loo 'alal laahi innee aateekum bisultaanim mubeen
And saying: Be not proud against Allah. Lo! I bring you a clear warrant.
وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ
Wa innee 'uztu bi Rabbee wa rabbikum an tarjumoon
And lo! I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord lest ye stone me to death.
وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ
Wa il lam tu'minoo lee fa'taziloon
And if ye put no faith in me, then let me go.
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌۭ مُّجْرِمُونَ
Fada'aa rabbahooo anna haaa'ulaaa'i qawmum mujrimoon
And he cried unto his Lord, (saying): These are guilty folk.
فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
Fa asri bi'ibaadee lailan innakum muttaba'oon
Then (his Lord commanded): Take away My slaves by night. Lo! ye will be followed,
وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌۭ مُّغْرَقُونَ
Watrukil bahra rahwan innahum jundum mughraqoon
And leave the sea behind at rest, for lo! they are a drowned host.
كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ
Kam tarakoo min jannaatinw wa 'uyoon
How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left behind,
وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ
Wa zuroo'inw wa maqaa min kareem
And the cornlands and the goodly sites
وَنَعْمَةٍۢ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ
Wa na'matin kaanoo feehaa faakiheen
And pleasant things wherein they took delight!
كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ
Kazaalika wa awrasnaahaa qawman aakhareen
Even so (it was), and We made it an inheritance for other folk;
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ
Famaa bakat 'alaihimus samaaa'u wal ardu wa maa kaanoo munzareen
And the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.
وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ
Wa laqad najjainaa Baneee Israaa'eela minal'azaabil muheen
And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful doom;
مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ
Min Fir'awn; innahoo kaana 'aaliyam minal musrifeen
(We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the wanton ones.
وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Wa laqadikh tarnaahum 'alaa 'ilmin 'alal 'aalameen
And We chose them, purposely, above (all) creatures.
وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَٰٓؤٌۭا۟ مُّبِينٌ
Wa aatainaahum minal aayaati maa feehi balaaa'um mubeen
And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial.
إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ
Inna haaa'ulaaa'i la yaqooloon
Lo! these, forsooth, are saying:
إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ
In hiya illaa mawtatunal oolaa wa maa nahnu bimun shareen
There is naught but our first death, and we shall not be raised again.
فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Faatoo bi aabaaa'inaaa inkuntum saadiqeen
Bring back our fathers, if ye speak the truth!
أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍۢ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ
Ahum khayrun am qawmu Tubba'inw wallazeena min qablihim; ahlaknaahum innahum kaanoo mujrimeen
Are they better, or the folk of Tubb'a and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ
Wa maa khalaqnas samaawaati wal arda wa maa baina humaa laa'ibeen
And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in play.
مَا خَلَقْنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
Maa khalaqnaahumaaa illaa bilhaqqi wa laakinna aksarahum laa ya'lamoon
We created them not save with truth; but most of them know not.
إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
Inna yawmal fasli meeqaatuhum ajma'een
Assuredly the Day of Decision is the term for all of them,
يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًۭى شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ
Yawma laa yughnee mawlan 'am mawlan shai'anw wa laa hum yunsaroon
A day when friend can in naught avail friend, nor can they be helped,
إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Illaa mar rahimal laah' innahoo huwal 'azeezur raheem
Save him on whom Allah hath mercy. Lo! He is the Mighty, the Merciful.

Lo! the tree of Zaqqum,
طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ
Ta'aamul aseem
The food of the sinner!
كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ
Kalmuhli yaghlee filbutoon
Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies
كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ
Kaghalyil hameem
As the seething of boiling water.
خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Khuzoohu fa'tiloohu ilaa sawaaa'il Jaheem
(And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell,
ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ
Summa subboo fawqa raasihee min 'azaabil hameem
Then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water.
ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ
Zuq innaka antal 'azeezul kareem
(Saying): Taste! Lo! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble!

Inna haazaa maa kuntum bihee tamtaroon
Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt.
إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍۢ
Innal muttaqeena fee maqaamin ameen
Lo! those who kept their duty will be in a place secured.
فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ
Fee jannaatinw wa 'uyoon
Amid gardens and watersprings,
يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍۢ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ
Yalbasoona min sundusinw wa istbraqim mutaqaabileen
Attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another.
كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍۢ
Kazaalika wa zawwajnaahum bihoorin 'een
Even so (it will be). And We shall wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes.

Yad'oona feehaa bikulli faakihatin aamineen
They call therein for every fruit in safety.
لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَوْتَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Laa yazooqoona feehal mawtaa illal mawtatal oolaa wa qaqaahum 'azaabal jaheem
They taste not death therein, save the first death. And He hath saved them from the doom of hell,
فَضْلًۭا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
Fadlam mir rabbik; zaalika huwal fawzul 'azeem

Fa innamaa yassarnaahu bilisaanika la'allahum yatazakkaroon
