بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
الٓر ۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَقُرْءَانٍ مُّبِينٍ﴿١﴾
Alif, Lām, Rā.1 These are the verses of the Book and a clear Qur’ān [i.e., recitation].
—رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ مُسْلِمِينَ﴿٢﴾
Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish1 that they had been Muslims.
—ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا۟ وَيَتَمَتَّعُوا۟ وَيُلْهِهِمُ ٱلْأَمَلُ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ﴿٣﴾
Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know.
—وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَّعْلُومٌ﴿٤﴾
And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree.
—مَّا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ﴿٥﴾
No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter.
—وَقَالُوا۟ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِى نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ﴿٦﴾
And they say, "O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad.1
—لَّوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ﴿٧﴾
Why do you not bring us the angels, if you should be among the truthful?"
—مَا نُنَزِّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوٓا۟ إِذًا مُّنظَرِينَ﴿٨﴾
We do not send down the angels except with truth;1 and they [i.e., the disbelievers] would not then be reprieved.
—إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَـٰفِظُونَ﴿٩﴾
Indeed, it is We who sent down the message [i.e., the Qur’ān], and indeed, We will be its guardian.
—وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِى شِيَعِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ﴿١٠﴾
And We had certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muḥammad], among the sects of the former peoples.
—وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ﴿١١﴾
And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him.
—كَذَٰلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُۥ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ﴿١٢﴾
Thus do We insert it [i.e., denial] into the hearts of the criminals.
—لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ ۖ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ﴿١٣﴾
They will not believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former peoples.
—وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّوا۟ فِيهِ يَعْرُجُونَ﴿١٤﴾
And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend,
—لَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَـٰرُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَّسْحُورُونَ﴿١٥﴾
They would say, "Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic."
—وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجًا وَزَيَّنَّـٰهَا لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ﴿١٦﴾
And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.
—وَحَفِظْنَـٰهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْطَـٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ﴿١٧﴾
And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allāh]
—إِلَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَرَقَ ٱلسَّمْعَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ مُّبِينٌ﴿١٨﴾
Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame.
—وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَـٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مَّوْزُونٍ﴿١٩﴾
And the earth - We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing.
—وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَـٰيِشَ وَمَن لَّسْتُمْ لَهُۥ بِرَٰزِقِينَ﴿٢٠﴾
And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers.1
—وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا عِندَنَا خَزَآئِنُهُۥ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ﴿٢١﴾
And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known [i.e., specified] measure.
—وَأَرْسَلْنَا ٱلرِّيَـٰحَ لَوَٰقِحَ فَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَسْقَيْنَـٰكُمُوهُ وَمَآ أَنتُمْ لَهُۥ بِخَـٰزِنِينَ﴿٢٢﴾
And We have sent the fertilizing winds1 and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers.
—وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْىِۦ وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحْنُ ٱلْوَٰرِثُونَ﴿٢٣﴾
And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor.1
—وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا ٱلْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا ٱلْمُسْتَـْٔخِرِينَ﴿٢٤﴾
And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come].
—وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ﴿٢٥﴾
And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing.
—وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ﴿٢٦﴾
And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud.
—وَٱلْجَآنَّ خَلَقْنَـٰهُ مِن قَبْلُ مِن نَّارِ ٱلسَّمُومِ﴿٢٧﴾
And the jinn We created before from scorching fire.
—وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى خَـٰلِقٌۢ بَشَرًا مِّن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ﴿٢٨﴾
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud.
—فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُۥ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِى فَقَعُوا۟ لَهُۥ سَـٰجِدِينَ﴿٢٩﴾
And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul,1 then fall down to him in prostration."
—فَسَجَدَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ﴿٣٠﴾
So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely,
—إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ﴿٣١﴾
Except Iblees;1 he refused to be with those who prostrated.
—قَالَ يَـٰٓإِبْلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ﴿٣٢﴾
[Allāh] said, "O Iblees, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate?"
—قَالَ لَمْ أَكُن لِّأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ﴿٣٣﴾
He said, "Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud."
—قَالَ فَٱخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ﴿٣٤﴾
[Allāh] said, "Then depart from it,1 for indeed, you are expelled.
—وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ ٱللَّعْنَةَ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ﴿٣٥﴾
And indeed, upon you is the curse until the Day of Recompense."
—قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرْنِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ﴿٣٦﴾
He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."
—قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنظَرِينَ﴿٣٧﴾
[Allāh] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved
—إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْوَقْتِ ٱلْمَعْلُومِ﴿٣٨﴾
Until the Day of the time well-known."
—قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَغْوَيْتَنِى لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ﴿٣٩﴾
[Iblees] said, "My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make [disobedience] attractive to them [i.e., mankind] on earth, and I will mislead them all
—إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ﴿٤٠﴾
Except, among them, Your chosen servants."
—قَالَ هَـٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ عَلَىَّ مُسْتَقِيمٌ﴿٤١﴾
[Allāh] said, "This is a path [of return] to Me [that is] straight.
—إِنَّ عِبَادِى لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْغَاوِينَ﴿٤٢﴾
Indeed, My servants - no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators.
—وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ﴿٤٣﴾
And indeed, Hell is the promised place for them all.
—لَهَا سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَٰبٍ لِّكُلِّ بَابٍ مِّنْهُمْ جُزْءٌ مَّقْسُومٌ﴿٤٤﴾
It has seven gates; for every gate is of them [i.e., Satan's followers] a portion designated."
—إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ﴿٤٥﴾
Indeed, the righteous will be within gardens and springs,
—ٱدْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَـٰمٍ ءَامِنِينَ﴿٤٦﴾
[Having been told], "Enter it in peace, safe [and secure]."
—وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِى صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ إِخْوَٰنًا عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ﴿٤٧﴾
And We will remove whatever is in their breasts of resentment,1 [so they will be] brothers, on thrones facing each other.
—لَا يَمَسُّهُمْ فِيهَا نَصَبٌ وَمَا هُم مِّنْهَا بِمُخْرَجِينَ﴿٤٨﴾
No fatigue will touch them therein, nor from it will they [ever] be removed.
—۞ نَبِّئْ عِبَادِىٓ أَنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ﴿٤٩﴾
[O Muḥammad], inform My servants that it is I who am the Forgiving, the Merciful,
—وَأَنَّ عَذَابِى هُوَ ٱلْعَذَابُ ٱلْأَلِيمُ﴿٥٠﴾
And that it is My punishment which is the painful punishment.
—
