الٓرۚ تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَقُرۡءَانٖ مُّبِينٖ
Alif-Laaam-Raa; tilka Aayaatul Kitaabi wa Qur-aa-nim Mubeen
A. L. R. These are the Ayats of Revelation,- of a Qur'an that makes things clear.
رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوۡ كَانُواْ مُسۡلِمِينَ
Rubamaa yawaddul lazeena kafaroo law kaanoo muslimeen
Again and again will those who disbelieve, wish that they had bowed (to Allah's will) in Islam.
ذَرۡهُمۡ يَأۡكُلُواْ وَيَتَمَتَّعُواْ وَيُلۡهِهِمُ ٱلۡأَمَلُۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ
Zarhum yaakuloo wa yatamatta'oo wa yulhihimul amalu fasawfa ya'lamoon
Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them).
وَمَآ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ
Wa maaa ahlaknaa min qaryatin illaa wa lahaa kitaabum ma'loom
Never did We destroy a population that had not a term decreed and assigned beforehand.
مَّا تَسۡبِقُ مِنۡ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ
Maa tasbiqu min ummatin ajalahaa wa maa yastaakhiroon
Neither can a people anticipate its term, nor delay it.
وَقَالُواْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِي نُزِّلَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلذِّكۡرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجۡنُونٞ
Wa qaaloo yaaa aiyuhal lazee nuzzila 'alaihiz Zikru innaka lamajnoon
They say: "O thou to whom the Message is being revealed! truly thou art mad (or possessed)!
لَّوۡمَا تَأۡتِينَا بِٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ
Law maa taateenaa bil malaaa'ikati in kunta minas saadiqeen
"Why bringest thou not angels to us if it be that thou hast the Truth?"
مَا نُنَزِّلُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوٓاْ إِذٗا مُّنظَرِينَ
Maa nunazzilul malaaa'i kata illaa bilhaqqi wa maa kaanooo izam munzareen
We send not the angels down except for just cause: if they came (to the ungodly), behold! no respite would they have!
إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَزَّلۡنَا ٱلذِّكۡرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ
Innaa Nahnu nazalnaz Zikra wa Innaa lahoo lahaa fizoon
We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption).
وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ فِي شِيَعِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
Wa laqad arsalnaa min qablika fee shiya'il awwaleen
We did send messengers before thee amongst the religious sects of old:
وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ
Wa maa yaateehim mir Rasoolin illaa kaanoo bihee yastahzi'oon
But never came a messenger to them but they mocked him.
كَذَٰلِكَ نَسۡلُكُهُۥ فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ
kazaalika naslukuhoo fee quloobil mujrimeen
Even so do we let it creep into the hearts of the sinners -
لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ وَقَدۡ خَلَتۡ سُنَّةُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
Laa yu'minoona bihee wa qad khalat sunnatul awwaleen
That they should not believe in the (Message); but the ways of the ancients have passed away.
وَلَوۡ فَتَحۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم بَابٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّواْ فِيهِ يَعۡرُجُونَ
Wa law fatahnaa 'alaihim baabam minas samaaa'i fazaloo feehi ya'rujoon
Even if We opened out to them a gate from heaven, and they were to continue (all day) ascending therein,
لَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتۡ أَبۡصَٰرُنَا بَلۡ نَحۡنُ قَوۡمٞ مَّسۡحُورُونَ
Laqaaloo innamaa sukkirat absaarunaa bal nahnu qawmum mashooroon
They would only say: "Our eyes have been intoxicated: Nay, we have been bewitched by sorcery."
وَلَقَدۡ جَعَلۡنَا فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجٗا وَزَيَّنَّٰهَا لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ
Wa laqad ja'alnaa fissamaaa'i buroojanw wa zaiyannaahaa linnaazireen
It is We Who have set out the zodiacal signs in the heavens, and made them fair-seeming to (all) beholders;
وَحَفِظۡنَٰهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيۡطَٰنٖ رَّجِيمٍ
Wa hafiznaahaa min kulli Shaitaanir rajeem
And (moreover) We have guarded them from every cursed devil:
إِلَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَرَقَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٞ مُّبِينٞ
Illaa manis taraqas sam'a fa atba'ahoo shihaabum mubeen
But any that gains a hearing by stealth, is pursued by a flaming fire, bright (to see).
وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَدَدۡنَٰهَا وَأَلۡقَيۡنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ مَّوۡزُونٖ
Wal arda madadnaahaa wa alqainaa feehaa rawaasiya wa ambatnaa feehaa min kulli shai'im mawzoon
And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon mountains firm and immovable; and produced therein all kinds of things in due balance.
وَجَعَلۡنَا لَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَعَٰيِشَ وَمَن لَّسۡتُمۡ لَهُۥ بِرَٰزِقِينَ
Wa ja'alnaa lakum feehaa ma'aayisha wa mal lastum lahoo biraaziqeen
And We have provided therein means of subsistence,- for you and for those for whose sustenance ye are not responsible.
وَإِن مِّن شَيۡءٍ إِلَّا عِندَنَا خَزَآئِنُهُۥ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ
Wa im min shai'in illaa 'indanaa khazaaa 'inuhoo wa maa nunazziluhooo illaa biqadarim ma'loom
And there is not a thing but its (sources and) treasures (inexhaustible) are with Us; but We only send down thereof in due and ascertainable measures.
وَأَرۡسَلۡنَا ٱلرِّيَٰحَ لَوَٰقِحَ فَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَأَسۡقَيۡنَٰكُمُوهُ وَمَآ أَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ بِخَٰزِنِينَ
Wa arsalnar riyaaha la waaqiha fa anzalnaa minas samaaa'i maaa'an fa asqai naakumoohu wa maaa antum lahoo bikhaazineen
And We send the fecundating winds, then cause the rain to descend from the sky, therewith providing you with water (in abundance), though ye are not the guardians of its stores.
وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ نُحۡيِۦ وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡوَٰرِثُونَ
Wa innnaa la nahnu nuhyee wa numeetu wa nahnul waarisoon
And verily, it is We Who give life, and Who give death: it is We Who remain inheritors (after all else passes away).
وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا ٱلۡمُسۡتَقۡدِمِينَ مِنكُمۡ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا ٱلۡمُسۡتَـٔۡخِرِينَ
Wa la qad 'alimnal mustaqdimeena minkum wa laqad 'alimnal mustaakhireen
To Us are known those of you who hasten forward, and those who lag behind.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحۡشُرُهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٞ
Wa inna Rabbaka Huwa yahshuruhum; innahoo Hakeemun 'Aleem
Assuredly it is thy Lord Who will gather them together: for He is perfect in Wisdom and Knowledge.
وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِن صَلۡصَٰلٖ مِّنۡ حَمَإٖ مَّسۡنُونٖ
Wa laqad khalaqnal insaana min salsaalim min hama im masnoon
We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape;
وَٱلۡجَآنَّ خَلَقۡنَٰهُ مِن قَبۡلُ مِن نَّارِ ٱلسَّمُومِ
Waljaaanna khalaqnaahu min qablu min naaris samoom
And the Jinn race, We had created before, from the fire of a scorching wind.
وَإِذۡ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّي خَٰلِقُۢ بَشَرٗا مِّن صَلۡصَٰلٖ مِّنۡ حَمَإٖ مَّسۡنُونٖ
Wa iz qaala Rabbuka lilmalaaa' ikati innee khaaliqum basharam min salsaalim min hama im masnoon
Behold! thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man, from sounding clay from mud moulded into shape;
فَإِذَا سَوَّيۡتُهُۥ وَنَفَخۡتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُواْ لَهُۥ سَٰجِدِينَ
Fa izaa sawwaituhoo wa nafakhtu feehi mir roohee faqa'oo lahoo saajideen
"When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him."
فَسَجَدَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعُونَ
Fasajadal malaaa'ikatu kulluhum ajma'oon
So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together:
إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ أَبَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ
Illaaa ibleesa abaaa ai yakoona ma'as saajideen
Not so Iblis: he refused to be among those who prostrated themselves.
قَالَ يَٰٓإِبۡلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ
Qaala yaaa Ibleesu maa laka allaa takoona ma'as saajideen
(Allah) said: "O Iblis! what is your reason for not being among those who prostrated themselves?"
قَالَ لَمۡ أَكُن لِّأَسۡجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقۡتَهُۥ مِن صَلۡصَٰلٖ مِّنۡ حَمَإٖ مَّسۡنُونٖ
Qaala lam akul li asjuda libasharin khalaqtahoo min salsaalim min hama im masnoon
(Iblis) said: "I am not one to prostrate myself to man, whom Thou didst create from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape."
قَالَ فَٱخۡرُجۡ مِنۡهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٞ
Qaala fakhruj minhaa fa innaka rajeem
(Allah) said: "Then get thee out from here; for thou art rejected, accursed.
وَإِنَّ عَلَيۡكَ ٱللَّعۡنَةَ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ
Wa inna 'alaikal la'nata ilaa Yawmid Deen
"And the curse shall be on thee till the day of Judgment."
قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرۡنِيٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ
Qaala Rabbi fa anzirneee ilaa Yawmi yub'asoon
(Iblis) said: "O my Lord! give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are raised."
قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنظَرِينَ
Qaala fa innaka minal munzareen
(Allah) said: "Respite is granted thee
إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡوَقۡتِ ٱلۡمَعۡلُومِ
Ilaa Yawmil waqtil ma'loom
"Till the Day of the Time appointed."
قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَغۡوَيۡتَنِي لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَأُغۡوِيَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ
Qaala Rabbi bimaaa aghwaitanee la uzayyin anna lahum fil ardi wa la ughwiyan nahum ajma'een
(Iblis) said: "O my Lord! because Thou hast put me in the wrong, I will make (wrong) fair-seeming to them on the earth, and I will put them all in the wrong,-
إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنۡهُمُ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
Illaa 'ibaadaka minhumul mukhlaseen
"Except Thy servants among them, sincere and purified (by Thy Grace)."
قَالَ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ عَلَيَّ مُسۡتَقِيمٌ
Qaala haaza Siraatun 'alaiya Mustaqeem
(Allah) said: "This (way of My sincere servants) is indeed a way that leads straight to Me.
إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيۡسَ لَكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٌ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡغَاوِينَ
Inna 'ibaadee laisa laka 'alaihim sultaanun illaa manittaba'aka minal ghaaween
"For over My servants no authority shalt thou have, except such as put themselves in the wrong and follow thee."
وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوۡعِدُهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ
Wa inna jahannama lamaw'iduhum ajma'een
And verily, Hell is the promised abode for them all!

Lahaa sab'atu abwaab; likulli baabim minhum juz'um maqsoom
To it are seven gates: for each of those gates is a (special) class (of sinners) assigned.
إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٍ
Innal muttaqeena fee Jannaatinw wa 'uyoon
The righteous (will be) amid gardens and fountains (of clear-flowing water).
ٱدۡخُلُوهَا بِسَلَٰمٍ ءَامِنِينَ
Udkhuloohaa bisalaamin aamineen
(Their greeting will be): "Enter ye here in peace and security."
وَنَزَعۡنَا مَا فِي صُدُورِهِم مِّنۡ غِلٍّ إِخۡوَٰنًا عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ
Wa naza'naa ma fee sudoorihim min ghillin ikhwaanan 'alaa sururim mutaqaabileen
And We shall remove from their hearts any lurking sense of injury: (they will be) brothers (joyfully) facing each other on thrones (of dignity).
لَا يَمَسُّهُمۡ فِيهَا نَصَبٞ وَمَا هُم مِّنۡهَا بِمُخۡرَجِينَ
Laa yamas suhum feehaa nasabunw wa maa hum minhaa bimukhrajeen
There no sense of fatigue shall touch them, nor shall they (ever) be asked to leave.

"Excepting the adherents of Lut: them we are certainly (charged) to save (from harm),- All -

At length when the messengers arrived among the adherents of Lut,

Qaala innakum qawmum munkaroon
He said: "Ye appear to be uncommon folk."

Wa atainaaka bilhaqqi wa innaa lasaadiqoon
"We have brought to thee that which is inevitably due, and assuredly we tell the truth.
فَأَسۡرِ بِأَهۡلِكَ بِقِطۡعٖ مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱتَّبِعۡ أَدۡبَٰرَهُمۡ وَلَا يَلۡتَفِتۡ مِنكُمۡ أَحَدٞ وَٱمۡضُواْ حَيۡثُ تُؤۡمَرُونَ

"Then travel by night with thy household, when a portion of the night (yet remains), and do thou bring up the rear: let no one amongst you look back, but pass on whither ye are ordered."
وَقَضَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡأَمۡرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مَقۡطُوعٞ مُّصۡبِحِينَ
Wa qadainaaa ilaihi zaalikal amra anna daabira haaa'ulaaa'i maqtoo'um musbiheen
And We made known this decree to him, that the last remnants of those (sinners) should be cut off by the morning.

Verily, by thy life (O Prophet), in their wild intoxication, they wander in distraction, to and fro.
فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ مُشۡرِقِينَ
Fa akhazat humus saihatu mushriqeen
But the (mighty) Blast overtook them before morning,
فَجَعَلۡنَا عَٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةٗ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ
Faja'alnaa 'aaliyahaa saafilahaa wa amtarnaa 'alaihim hijaaratam min sijjeel
And We turned (the cities) upside down, and rained down on them brimstones hard as baked clay.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّلۡمُتَوَسِّمِينَ
Inna fee zaalika la Aayaatil lilmutawassimeen
Behold! in this are Signs for those who by tokens do understand.
وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٖ مُّقِيمٍ
Wa innahaa labi sabeelim muqeem
And the (cities were) right on the high-road.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
Inna fee zaalika la Aayatal lilmu'mineen
Behold! in this is a sign for those who believe.
وَإِن كَانَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡأَيۡكَةِ لَظَٰلِمِينَ
Wa in kaana Ashaabul Aikati lazaalimeen
And the Companions of the Wood were also wrong-doers;
فَٱنتَقَمۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٖ مُّبِينٖ
Fantaqamnaa minhum wa innahumaa labi imaamim mubeen
So We exacted retribution from them. They were both on an open highway, plain to see.

Wa laqad kazzaba ashaabul Hijril mursaleen
The Companions of the Rocky Tract also rejected the messengers:

Wa aatainaahum Aayaatinaa fakaanoo 'anhaa mu'rideen
We sent them Our Signs, but they persisted in turning away from them.

Wa kaanoo yanhitoona minal jibaali buyootan aamineen
Out of the mountains did they hew (their) edifices, (feeling themselves) secure.
فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ مُصۡبِحِينَ
Fa akhazat humus saihatu musbiheen
But the (mighty) Blast seized them of a morning,
فَمَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ
Famaaa aghnaa 'anhum maa kaanoo yaksiboon
And of no avail to them was all that they did (with such art and care)!
وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَأٓتِيَةٞۖ فَٱصۡفَحِ ٱلصَّفۡحَ ٱلۡجَمِيلَ
Wa maa khalaqnas samaawaati wal arda wa maa bainahumaaa illaa bilhaqq; wa innas Saa'ata la aatiyatun fasfahis safhal jameel
We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, but for just ends. And the Hour is surely coming (when this will be manifest). So overlook (any human faults) with gracious forgiveness.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلۡخَلَّٰقُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ
Inna Rabbaka Huwal khallaaqul 'aleem
For verily it is thy Lord who is the Master-Creator, knowing all things.

Wa laqad aatainaaka sab'am minal masaanee wal Qur-aanal 'Azeem
And We have bestowed upon thee the Seven Oft-repeated (verses) and the Grand Qur'an.
لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيۡنَيۡكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعۡنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزۡوَٰجٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ وَلَا تَحۡزَنۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَٱخۡفِضۡ جَنَاحَكَ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
Laa tamuddanna 'ainaika ilaa maa matta 'naa biheee azwaajam minhum wa laa tahzan 'alaihim wakhfid janaahaka lilmu 'mineen
Strain not thine eyes. (Wistfully) at what We have bestowed on certain classes of them, nor grieve over them: but lower thy wing (in gentleness) to the believers.
وَقُلۡ إِنِّيٓ أَنَا ٱلنَّذِيرُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ
Wa qul inneee anan nazeerul mubeen
And say: "I am indeed he that warneth openly and without ambiguity,"-
كَمَآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡمُقۡتَسِمِينَ
Kamaaa anzalnaa 'alal muqtasimeen
(Of just such wrath) as We sent down on those who divided (Scripture into arbitrary parts),-
ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلُواْ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ عِضِينَ
Allazeena ja'alul Quraana'ideen
(So also on such) as have made the Qur'an into shreds (as they please).
فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسۡـَٔلَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ
Fawa Rabbika lanas'a lannahum ajma'een
Therefore, by thy Lord, We will, of a surety, call them to account,
عَمَّا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ
Ammaa kaanoo ya'maloon
For all their deeds.
فَٱصۡدَعۡ بِمَا تُؤۡمَرُ وَأَعۡرِضۡ عَنِ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ
Fasda' bimaa tu'maru wa a'rid anil mushrikeen
Therefore expound openly what thou art commanded, and turn away from those who join false gods with Allah.
إِنَّا كَفَيۡنَٰكَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَهۡزِءِينَ
Innaa kafainaakal mustahzi'een
For sufficient are We unto thee against those who scoff,-
ٱلَّذِينَ يَجۡعَلُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَۚ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ
Allazeena yaj'aloona ma'al laahi ilaahan aakhar; fasawfa ya'lamoon
Those who adopt, with Allah, another god: but soon will they come to know.
وَلَقَدۡ نَعۡلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدۡرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ
Wa laqad na'lamu annaka yadeequ sadruka bimaa yaqooloon
We do indeed know how thy heart is distressed at what they say.
فَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ
Fasabbih bihamdi Rabbika wa kum minas saajideen
But celebrate the praises of thy Lord, and be of those who prostrate themselves in adoration.
وَٱعۡبُدۡ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأۡتِيَكَ ٱلۡيَقِينُ
Wa'bud Rabbaka hattaa yaatiyakal yaqeen
And serve thy Lord until there come unto thee the Hour that is Certain.
