Tilka ayatu alkitabi almubeeni

Tilka 'Āyātu Al-Kitābi Al-Mubīni

These are the verses of the Book that makes (things) clear

LaAAallaka bakhiAAun nafsaka alla yakoonoo mumineena

La`allaka Bākhi`un Nafsaka 'Allā Yakūnū Mu'uminīna

Perhaps you will kill yourself with grief because they do not believe

In nasha nunazzil AAalayhim mina alssamai ayatan fathallat aAAnaquhum laha khadiAAeena

In Nasha' Nunazzil `Alayhim Mina As-Samā'i 'Āyatan Fažallat 'A`nāquhum Lahā Khāđi`īna

If We please, We should send down upon them a sign from the heaven so that their necks should stoop to it

Wama yateehim min thikrin mina alrrahmani muhdathin illa kanoo AAanhu muAArideena

Wa Mā Ya'tīhim Min Dhikrin Mina Ar-Raĥmāni Muĥdathin 'Illā Kānū `Anhu Mu`riđīna

And there does not come to them a new reminder from the Beneficent Allah but they turn aside from it

Faqad kaththaboo fasayateehim anbao ma kanoo bihi yastahzioona

Faqad Kadhabū Fasaya'tīhim 'Anbā'u Mā Kānū Bihi Yastahzi'ūn

So they have indeed rejected (the truth), therefore the news of that which they mock shall soon come to them

Awalam yaraw ila alardi kam anbatna feeha min kulli zawjin kareemin

Awalam Yaraw 'Ilá Al-'Arđi Kam 'Anbatnā Fīhā Min Kulli Zawjin Karīmin

Do they not see the earth, how many of every noble kind We have caused to grow in it

Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

Inna Fī Dhālika La'āyatan Wa Mā Kāna 'Aktharuhum Mu'uminīna

Most surely there is a sign in that, but most of them will not believe

Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

Wa 'Inna Rabbaka Lahuwa Al-`Azīzu Ar-Raĥīmu

And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful

Waith nada rabbuka moosa ani iti alqawma alththalimeena

Wa 'Idh Nādá Rabbuka Mūsá 'Ani A'ti Al-Qawma Až-Žālimīna

And when your Lord called out to Musa, saying: Go to the unjust people

Qawma firAAawna ala yattaqoona

Qawma Fir`awna 'Alā Yattaqūna

The people of Firon: Will they not guard (against evil)

Qala rabbi innee akhafu an yukaththibooni

Qāla Rabbi 'Innī 'Akhāfu 'An Yukadhibūni

He said: O my Lord! surely I fear that they will reject me

Wayadeequ sadree wala yantaliqu lisanee faarsil ila haroona

Wa Yađīqu Şadrī Wa Lā Yanţaliqu Lisānī Fa'arsil 'Ilá Hārūna

And by breast straitens, and my tongue is not eloquent, therefore send Thou to Haroun (to help me)

Walahum AAalayya thanbun faakhafu an yaqtulooni

Wa Lahum `Alayya Dhanbun Fa'akhāfu 'An Yaqtulūni

And they have a crime against me, therefore I fear that they may slay me

Qala kalla faithhaba biayatina inna maAAakum mustamiAAoona

Qāla Kallā Fādh/habā Bi'āyātinā 'Innā Ma`akum Mustami`ūna

He said: By no means, so go you both with Our signs; surely We are with you, hearing

Fatiya firAAawna faqoola inna rasoolu rabbi alAAalameena

Fa'tiyā Fir`awna Faqūlā 'Innā Rasūlu Rabbi Al-`Ālamīna

Then come to Firon and say: Surely we are the apostles of the Lord of the worlds

An arsil maAAana banee israeela

An 'Arsil Ma`anā Banī 'Isrā'īla

Then send with us the children of Israel

Qala alam nurabbika feena waleedan walabithta feena min AAumurika sineena

Qāla 'Alam Nurabbika Fīnā Walīdāan Wa Labithta Fīnā Min `Umurika Sinīna

(Firon) said: Did we not bring you up as a child among us, and you tarried among us for (many) years of your life

WafaAAalta faAAlataka allatee faAAalta waanta mina alkafireena

Wa Fa`alta Fa`lataka Allatī Fa`alta Wa 'Anta Mina Al-Kāfirīna

And you did (that) deed of yours which you did, and you are one of the ungrateful

Qala faAAaltuha ithan waana mina alddalleena

Qāla Fa`altuhā 'Idhāan Wa 'Anā Mina Ađ-Đāllīn

He said: I did it then while I was of those unable to see the right course

Fafarartu minkum lamma khiftukum fawahaba lee rabbee hukman wajaAAalanee mina almursaleena

Fafarartu Minkum Lammā Khiftukum Fawahaba Lī Rabbī Ĥukmāan Wa Ja`alanī Mina Al-Mursalīna

So I fled from you when I feared you, then my Lord granted me wisdom and made me of the apostles

Watilka niAAmatun tamunnuha AAalayya an AAabbadta banee israeela

Wa Tilka Ni`matun Tamunnuhā `Alayya 'An `Abbadta Banī 'Isrā'īla

And is it a favor of which you remind me that you have enslaved the children of Israel

Qala firAAawnu wama rabbu alAAalameena

Qāla Fir`awnu Wa Mā Rabbu Al-`Ālamīna

Firon said: And what is the Lord of the worlds

Qala rabbu alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma in kuntum mooqineena

Qāla Rabbu As-Samāwāti Wa Al-'Arđi Wa Mā Baynahumā 'In Kuntum Mūqinīna

He said: The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure

Qala liman hawlahu ala tastamiAAoona

Qāla Liman Ĥawlahu 'Alā Tastami`ūna

(Firon) said to those around him: Do you not hear

Qala rabbukum warabbu abaikumu alawwaleena

Qāla Rabbukum Wa Rabbu 'Ābā'ikumu Al-'Awwalīna

He said: Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of old

Qala inna rasoolakumu allathee orsila ilaykum lamajnoonun

Qāla 'Inna Rasūlakumu Al-Ladhī 'Ursila 'Ilaykum Lamajnūnun

Said he: Most surely your Apostle who is sent to you is mad

Qala rabbu almashriqi waalmaghribi wama baynahuma in kuntum taAAqiloona

Qāla Rabbu Al-Mashriqi Wa Al-Maghribi Wa Mā Baynahumā 'In Kuntum Ta`qilūna

He said: The Lord of the east and the west and what is between them, if you understand

Qala laini ittakhathta ilahan ghayree laajAAalannaka mina almasjooneena

Qāla La'ini Attakhadhta 'Ilahāan Ghayrī La'aj`alannaka Mina Al-Masjūnīna

Said he: If you will take a god besides me, I will most certainly make you one of the imprisoned

Qala awalaw jituka bishayin mubeenin

Qāla 'Awalaw Ji'tuka Bishay'in Mubīnin

He said: What! even if I bring to you something manifest

Qala fati bihi in kunta mina alssadiqeena

Qāla Fa'ti Bihi 'In Kunta Mina Aş-Şādiqīna

Said he: Bring it then, if you are of the truthful ones

Faalqa AAasahu faitha hiya thuAAbanun mubeenun

Fa'alqá `Aşāhu Fa'idhā Hiya Thu`bānun Mubīnun

So he cast down his rod, and lo! it was an obvious serpent

WanazaAAa yadahu faitha hiya baydao lilnnathireena

Wa Naza`a Yadahu Fa'idhā Hiya Bayđā'u Lilnnāžirīna

And he drew forth his hand, and lo! it appeared white to the onlookers

Qala lilmalai hawlahu inna hatha lasahirun AAaleemun

Qāla Lilmala'i Ĥawlahu 'Inna Hādhā Lasāĥirun `Alīmun

(Firon) said to the chiefs around him: Most surely this is a skillful magician

Yureedu an yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihi famatha tamuroona

Yurīdu 'An Yukhrijakum Min 'Arđikum Bisiĥrihi Famādhā Ta'murūna

Who desires to turn you out of your land with his magic; what is it then that you advise

Qaloo arjih waakhahu waibAAath fee almadaini hashireena

Qālū 'Arjihi Wa 'Akhāhu Wa Ab`ath Fī Al-Madā'ini Ĥāshirīna

They said: Give him and his brother respite and send heralds into the cities

Yatooka bikulli sahharin AAaleemin

Ya'tūka Bikulli Saĥĥārin `Alīmin

That they should bring to you every skillful magician

FajumiAAa alssaharatu limeeqati yawmin maAAloomin

Fajumi`a As-Saĥaratu Limīqāti Yawmin Ma`lūmin

So the magicians were gathered together at the appointed time on the fixed day

Waqeela lilnnasi hal antum mujtamiAAoona

Wa Qīla Lilnnāsi Hal 'Antum Mujtami`ūna

And it was said to the people: Will you gather together

LaAAallana nattabiAAu alssaharata in kanoo humu alghalibeena

La`allanā Nattabi`u As-Saĥarata 'In Kānū Humu Al-Ghālibīna

Haply we may follow the magicians, if they are the vanquishers

Falamma jaa alssaharatu qaloo lifirAAawna ainna lana laajran in kunna nahnu alghalibeena

Falammā Jā'a As-Saĥaratu Qālū Lifir`awna 'A'inna Lanā La'ajrāan 'In Kunnā Naĥnu Al-Ghālibīna

And when the magicians came, they said to Firon: Shall we get a reward if we are the vanquishers

Qala naAAam wainnakum ithan lamina almuqarrabeena

Qāla Na`am Wa 'Innakum 'Idhāan Lamina Al-Muqarrabīna

He said: Yes, and surely you will then be of those who are made near

Qala lahum moosa alqoo ma antum mulqoona

Qāla Lahum Mūsá 'Alqū Mā 'Antum Mulqūna

Musa said to them: Cast what you are going to cast

Faalqaw hibalahum waAAisiyyahum waqaloo biAAizzati firAAawna inna lanahnu alghaliboona

Fa'alqaw Ĥibālahum Wa `Işīyahum Wa Qālū Bi`izzati Fir`awna 'Innā Lanaĥnu Al-Ghālibūna

So they cast down their cords and their rods and said: By Firon's power, we shall most surely be victorious

Faalqa moosa AAasahu faitha hiya talqafu ma yafikoona

Fa'alqá Mūsá `Aşāhu Fa'idhā Hiya Talqafu Mā Ya'fikūna

Then Musa cast down his staff and lo! it swallowed up the lies they told

Faolqiya alssaharatu sajideena

Fa'ulqiya As-Saĥaratu Sājidīna

And the magicians were thrown down prostrate

Qaloo amanna birabbi alAAalameena

Qālū 'Āmannā Birabbi Al-`Ālamīna

They said: We believe in the Lord of the worlds

Rabbi moosa waharoona

Rabbi Mūsá Wa Hārūna

The Lord of Musa and Haroun

Qala amantum lahu qabla an athana lakum innahu lakabeerukumu allathee AAallamakumu alssihra falasawfa taAAlamoona laoqattiAAanna aydiyakum waarjulakum min khilafin walaosallibannakum ajmaAAeena

Qāla 'Āmantum Lahu Qabla 'An 'Ādhana Lakum 'Innahu Lakabīrukumu Al-Ladhī `Allamakumu As-Siĥra Falasawfa Ta`lamūna La'uqaţţi`anna 'Aydiyakum Wa 'Arjulakum Min Khilāfin Wa La'uşallibannakum 'Ajma`īna

Said he: You believe in him before I give you permission; most surely he is the chief of you who taught you the magic, so you shall know: certainly I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and certainly I will crucify you all

Qaloo la dayra inna ila rabbina munqaliboona

Qālū Lā Đayra 'Innā 'Ilá Rabbinā Munqalibūna

They said: No harm; surely to our Lord we go back

Inna natmaAAu an yaghfira lana rabbuna khatayana an kunna awwala almumineena

Innā Naţma`u 'An Yaghfira Lanā Rabbunā Khaţāyānā 'An Kunnā 'Awwala Al-Mu'uminīna

Surely we hope that our Lord will forgive us our wrongs because we are the first of the believers

Waawhayna ila moosa an asri biAAibadee innakum muttabaAAoona

Wa 'Awĥaynā 'Ilá Mūsá 'An 'Asri Bi`ibādī 'Innakum Muttaba`ūna

And We revealed to Musa, saying: Go away with My servants travelling by night, surely you will be pursued

Faarsala firAAawnu fee almadaini hashireena

Fa'arsala Fir`awnu Fī Al-Madā'ini Ĥāshirīna

So Firon sent heralds into the cities

Inna haolai lashirthimatun qaleeloona

Inna Hā'uulā' Lashirdhimatun Qalīlūna

Most surely these are a small company

Wainnahum lana laghaithoona

Wa 'Innahum Lanā Laghā'ižūna

And most surely they have enraged us

Wainna lajameeAAun hathiroona

Wa 'Innā Lajamī`un Ĥādhirūna

And most surely we are a vigilant multitude

Faakhrajnahum min jannatin waAAuyoonin

Fa'akhrajnāhum Min Jannātin Wa `Uyūnin

So We turned them out of gardens and springs

Wakunoozin wamaqamin kareemin

Wa Kunūzin Wa Maqāmin Karīmin

And treasures and goodly dwellings

Kathalika waawrathnaha banee israeela

Kadhālika Wa 'Awrathnāhā Banī 'Isrā'īla

Even so. And We gave them as a heritage to the children of Israel

FaatbaAAoohum mushriqeena

Fa'atba`ūhum Mushriqīna

Then they pursued them at sunrise

Falamma taraa aljamAAani qala ashabu moosa inna lamudrakoona

Falammā Tarā'á Al-Jam`āni Qāla 'Aşĥābu Mūsá 'Innā Lamudrakūna

So when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa cried out: Most surely we are being overtaken

Qala kalla inna maAAiya rabbee sayahdeeni

Qāla Kallā 'Inna Ma`iya Rabbī Sayahdīni

He said: By no means; surely my Lord is with me: He will show me a way out

Faawhayna ila moosa ani idrib biAAasaka albahra fainfalaqa fakana kullu firqin kaalttawdi alAAatheemi

Fa'awĥaynā 'Ilá Mūsá 'Ani Ađrib Bi`aşāka Al-Baĥra Fānfalaqa Fakāna Kullu Firqin Kālţţawdi Al-`Ažīmi

Then We revealed to Musa: Strike the sea with your staff. So it had cloven asunder, and each part was like a huge mound

Waazlafna thamma alakhareena

Wa 'Azlafnā Thamma Al-'Ākharīna

And We brought near, there, the others

Waanjayna moosa waman maAAahu ajmaAAeena

Wa 'Anjaynā Mūsá Wa Man Ma`ahu 'Ajma`īna

And We saved Musa and those with him, all of them

Thumma aghraqna alakhareena

Thumma 'Aghraqnā Al-'Ākharīna

Then We drowned the others

Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

Inna Fī Dhālika La'āyatan Wa Mā Kāna 'Aktharuhum Mu'uminīna

Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe

Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

Wa 'Inna Rabbaka Lahuwa Al-`Azīzu Ar-Raĥīmu

And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful

Waotlu AAalayhim nabaa ibraheema

Wa Atlu `Alayhim Naba'a 'Ibrāhīma

And recite to them the story of Ibrahim

Ith qala liabeehi waqawmihi ma taAAbudoona

Idh Qāla Li'abīhi Wa Qawmihi Mā Ta`budūna

When he said to his father and his people: What do you worship

Qaloo naAAbudu asnaman fanathallu laha AAakifeena

Qālū Na`budu 'Aşnāmāan Fanažallu Lahā `Ākifīna

They said: We worship idols, so we shall be their votaries

Qala hal yasmaAAoonakum ith tadAAoona

Qāla Hal Yasma`ūnakum 'Idh Tad`ūna

He said: Do they hear you when you call

Aw yanfaAAoonakum aw yadurroona

Aw Yanfa`ūnakum 'Aw Yađurrūna

Or do they profit you or cause you harm

Qaloo bal wajadna abaana kathalika yafAAaloona

Qālū Bal Wajadnā 'Ābā'anā Kadhālika Yaf`alūna

They said: Nay, we found our fathers doing so

Qala afaraaytum ma kuntum taAAbudoona

Qāla 'Afara'aytum Mā Kuntum Ta`budūna

He said: Have you then considered what you have been worshipping

Antum waabaokumu alaqdamoona

Antum Wa 'Ābā'uukumu Al-'Aqdamūna

You and your ancient sires

Fainnahum AAaduwwun lee illa rabba alAAalameena

Fa'innahum `Adūwun Lī 'Illā Rabba Al-`Ālamīna

Surely they are enemies to me, but not (so) the Lord of the worlds

Allathee khalaqanee fahuwa yahdeeni

Al-Ladhī Khalaqanī Fahuwa Yahdīni

Who created me, then He has shown me the way

Waallathee huwa yutAAimunee wayasqeeni

Wa Al-Ladhī Huwa Yuţ`imunī Wa Yasqīni

And He Who gives me to eat and gives me to drink

Waitha maridtu fahuwa yashfeeni

Wa 'Idhā Mariđtu Fahuwa Yashfīni

And when I am sick, then He restores me to health

Waallathee yumeetunee thumma yuhyeeni

Wa Al-Ladhī Yumītunī Thumma Yuĥyīni

And He Who will cause me to die, then give me life

Waallathee atmaAAu an yaghfira lee khateeatee yawma alddeeni

Wa Al-Ladhī 'Aţma`u 'An Yaghfira Lī Khaţī'atī Yawma Ad-Dīni

And Who, I hope, will forgive me my mistakes on the day of judgment

Rabbi hab lee hukman waalhiqnee bialssaliheena

Rabbi Hab Lī Ĥukmāan Wa 'Alĥiqnī Biş-Şāliĥīna

My Lord: Grant me wisdom, and join me with the good

WaijAAal lee lisana sidqin fee alakhireena

Wa Aj`al Lī Lisāna Şidqin Fī Al-'Ākhirīna

And ordain for me a goodly mention among posterity

WaijAAalnee min warathati jannati alnnaAAeemi

Wa Aj`alnī Min Warathati Jannati An-Na`īmi

And make me of the heirs of the garden of bliss

Waighfir liabee innahu kana mina alddalleena

Wa Aghfir Li'abī 'Innahu Kāna Mina Ađ-Đāllīna

And forgive my father, for surely he is of those who have gone astray

Wala tukhzinee yawma yubAAathoona

Wa Lā Tukhzinī Yawma Yub`athūna

And disgrace me not on the day when they are raised

Yawma la yanfaAAu malun wala banoona

Yawma Lā Yanfa`u Mālun Wa Lā Banūna

The day on which property will not avail, nor sons

Illa man ata Allaha biqalbin saleemin

Illā Man 'Atá Allāha Biqalbin Salīmin

Except him who comes to Allah with a heart free (from evil)

Waozlifati aljannatu lilmuttaqeena

Wa 'Uzlifati Al-Jannatu Lilmuttaqīna

And the garden shall be brought near for those who guard (against evil)

Waburrizati aljaheemu lilghaweena

Wa Burrizati Al-Jaĥīmu Lilghāwīna

And the hell shall be made manifest to the erring ones

Waqeela lahum ayna ma kuntum taAAbudoona

Wa Qīla Lahum 'Ayna Mā Kuntum Ta`budūna

And it shall be said to them: Where are those that you used to worship

Min dooni Allahi hal yansuroonakum aw yantasiroona

Min Dūni Allāhi Hal Yanşurūnakum 'Aw Yantaşirūna

Besides Allah? Can they help you or yet help themselves

Fakubkiboo feeha hum waalghawoona

Fakubkibū Fīhā Hum Wa Al-Ghāwūna

So they shall be thrown down into it, they and the erring ones

Wajunoodu ibleesa ajmaAAoona

Wa Junūdu 'Iblīsa 'Ajma`ūna

And the hosts of the Shaitan, all

Qaloo wahum feeha yakhtasimoona

Qālū Wa Hum Fīhā Yakhtaşimūna

They shall say while they contend therein

TaAllahi in kunna lafee dalalin mubeenin

Ta-Allāhi 'In Kunnā Lafī Đalālin Mubīnin

By Allah! we were certainly in manifest error

Ith nusawweekum birabbi alAAalameena

Idh Nusawwīkum Birabbi Al-`Ālamīna

When we made you equal to the Lord of the worlds

Wama adallana illa almujrimoona

Wa Mā 'Ađallanā 'Illā Al-Mujrimūna

And none but the guilty led us astray

Fama lana min shafiAAeena

Famā Lanā Min Shāfi`īna

So we have no intercessors

Wala sadeeqin hameemin

Wa Lā Şadīqin Ĥamīmin

Nor a true friend

Falaw anna lana karratan fanakoona mina almumineena

Falaw 'Anna Lanā Karratan Fanakūna Mina Al-Mu'uminīna

But if we could but once return, we would be of the believers

Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

Inna Fī Dhālika La'āyatan Wa Mā Kāna 'Aktharuhum Mu'uminīna

Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe

Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

Wa 'Inna Rabbaka Lahuwa Al-`Azīzu Ar-Raĥīmu

And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful

Kaththabat qawmu noohin almursaleena

Kadhabat Qawmu Nūĥin Al-Mursalīna

The people of Nuh rejected the apostles

Ith qala lahum akhoohum noohun ala tattaqoona

Idh Qāla Lahum 'Akhūhum Nūĥun 'Alā Tattaqūna

When their brother Nuh said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)

Innee lakum rasoolun ameenun

Innī Lakum Rasūlun 'Amīnun

Surely I am a faithful apostle to you

Faittaqoo Allaha waateeAAooni

Fāttaqū Allāha Wa 'Aţī`ūni

Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me

Wama asalukum AAalayhi min ajrin in ajriya illa AAala rabbi alAAalameena

Wa Mā 'As'alukum `Alayhi Min 'Ajrin 'In 'Ajrī 'Illā `Alá Rabbi Al-`Ālamīna

And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds

Faittaqoo Allaha waateeAAooni

Fāttaqū Allāha Wa 'Aţī`ūni

So guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me

Qaloo anuminu laka waittabaAAaka alarthaloona

Qālū 'Anu'uminu Laka Wa Attaba`aka Al-'Ardhalūna

They said: Shall we believe in you while the meanest follow you

Qala wama AAilmee bima kanoo yaAAmaloona

Qāla Wa Mā `Ilmī Bimā Kānū Ya`malūna

He said: And what knowledge have I of what they do

In hisabuhum illa AAala rabbee law tashAAuroona

In Ĥisābuhum 'Illā `Alá Rabbī Law Tash`urūna

Their account is only with my Lord, if you could perceive

Wama ana bitaridi almumineena

Wa Mā 'Anā Biţāridi Al-Mu'uminīna

And I am not going to drive away the believers

In ana illa natheerun mubeenun

In 'Anā 'Illā Nadhīrun Mubīnun

I am naught but a plain warner

Qaloo lain lam tantahi ya noohu latakoonanna mina almarjoomeena

Qālū La'in Lam Tantahi Yā Nūĥu Latakūnanna Mina Al-Marjūmīna

They said: If you desist not, O Nuh, you shall most certainly be of those stoned to death

Qala rabbi inna qawmee kaththabooni

Qāla Rabbi 'Inna Qawmī Kadhabūni

He said: My Lord! Surely my people give me the lie

Faiftah baynee wabaynahum fathan wanajjinee waman maAAiya mina almumineena

Fāftaĥ Baynī Wa Baynahum Fatĥāan Wa Najjinī Wa Man Ma`ī Mina Al-Mu'uminīna

Therefore judge Thou between me and them with a (just) judgment, and deliver me and those who are with me of the believers

Faanjaynahu waman maAAahu fee alfulki almashhooni

Fa'anjaynāhu Wa Man Ma`ahu Fī Al-Fulki Al-Mashĥūni

So We delivered him and those with him in the laden ark

Thumma aghraqna baAAdu albaqeena

Thumma 'Aghraqnā Ba`du Al-Bāqīna

Then We drowned the rest afterwards

Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

Inna Fī Dhālika La'āyatan Wa Mā Kāna 'Aktharuhum Mu'uminīna

Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe

Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

Wa 'Inna Rabbaka Lahuwa Al-`Azīzu Ar-Raĥīmu

And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful

Kaththabat AAadun almursaleena

Kadhabat `Ādun Al-Mursalīna

Ad gave the lie to the apostles

Ith qala lahum akhoohum hoodun ala tattaqoona

Idh Qāla Lahum 'Akhūhum Hūdun 'Alā Tattaqūna

When their brother Hud said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)

Innee lakum rasoolun ameenun

Innī Lakum Rasūlun 'Amīnun

Surely I am a faithful apostle to you

Faittaqoo Allaha waateeAAooni

Fāttaqū Allāha Wa 'Aţī`ūni

Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me

Wama asalukum AAalayhi min ajrin in ajriya illa AAala rabbi alAAalameena

Wa Mā 'As'alukum `Alayhi Min 'Ajrin 'In 'Ajrī 'Illā `Alá Rabbi Al-`Ālamīna

And I do not ask you any reward for it; surely my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds

Atabnoona bikulli reeAAin ayatan taAAbathoona

Atabnūna Bikulli Rī`in 'Āyatan Ta`bathūna

Do you build on every height a monument? Vain is it that you do

Watattakhithoona masaniAAa laAAallakum takhludoona

Wa Tattakhidhūna Maşāni`a La`allakum Takhludūna

And you make strong fortresses that perhaps you may

Waitha batashtum batashtum jabbareena

Wa 'Idhā Baţashtum Baţashtum Jabbārīna

And when you lay hands (on men) you lay hands (like) tyrants

Faittaqoo Allaha waateeAAooni

Fāttaqū Allāha Wa 'Aţī`ūni

So guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me

Waittaqoo allathee amaddakum bima taAAlamoona

Wa Attaqū Al-Ladhī 'Amaddakum Bimā Ta`lamūna

And be careful of (your duty to) Him Who has given you abundance of what you know

Amaddakum bianAAamin wabaneena

Amaddakum Bi'an`āmin Wa Banīna

He has given you abundance of cattle and children

Wajannatin waAAuyoonin

Wa Jannātin Wa `Uyūnin

And gardens and fountains

Innee akhafu AAalaykum AAathaba yawmin AAatheemin

Innī 'Akhāfu `Alaykum `Adhāba Yawmin `Ažīmin

Surely I fear for you the chastisement of a grievous day

Qaloo sawaon AAalayna awaAAathta am lam takun mina alwaAAitheena

Qālū Sawā'un `Alaynā 'Awa`ažta 'Am Lam Takun Mina Al-Wā`ižīna

They said: It is the same to us whether you admonish or are not one of the admonishers

In hatha illa khuluqu alawwaleena

In Hādhā 'Illā Khuluqu Al-'Awwalīna

This is naught but a custom of the ancients

Wama nahnu bimuAAaththabeena

Wa Mā Naĥnu Bimu`adhabīna

And we are not going to be punished

Fakaththaboohu faahlaknahum inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

Fakadhabūhu Fa'ahlaknāhum 'Inna Fī Dhālika La'āyatan Wa Mā Kāna 'Aktharuhum Mu'uminīna

So they gave him the lie, then We destroyed them. Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe

Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

Qala hathihi naqatun laha shirbun walakum shirbu yawmin maAAloomin

Qāla Hadhihi Nāqatun Lahā Shirbun Wa Lakum Shirbu Yawmin Ma`lūmin

Wala tamassooha bisooin fayakhuthakum AAathabu yawmin AAatheemin

And do not touch her with evil, lest the punishment of a grievous day should overtake you

Fa'akhadhahumu Al-`Adhābu 'Inna Fī Dhālika La'āyatan Wa Mā Kāna 'Aktharuhum Mu'uminīna

Thumma Dammarnā Al-'Ākharīna

Then We utterly destroyed the others

Waamtarna AAalayhim mataran fasaa mataru almunthareena

Wa 'Amţarnā `Alayhim Maţarāan Fasā'a Maţaru Al-Mundharīna

Fa'asqiţ `Alaynā Kisafāan Mina As-Samā'i 'In Kunta Mina Aş-Şādiqīna

Therefore cause a portion of the heaven to come down upon us, if you are one of the truthful

Qala rabbee aAAlamu bima taAAmaloona

Qāla Rabbī 'A`lamu Bimā Ta`malūna

He said: My Lord knows best what you do

Fakadhabūhu Fa'akhadhahum `Adhābu Yawmi Až-Žullati 'Innahu Kāna `Adhāba Yawmin `Ažīmin

Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

Inna Fī Dhālika La'āyatan Wa Mā Kāna 'Aktharuhum Mu'uminīna

In plain Arabic language

Wainnahu lafee zuburi alawwaleena

Awalam yakun lahum ayatan an yaAAlamahu AAulamao banee israeela

Awalam Yakun Lahum 'Āyatan 'An Ya`lamahu `Ulamā'u Banī 'Isrā'īla

Is it not a sign to them that the learned men of the Israelites know it

Walaw nazzalnahu AAala baAAdi alaAAjameena

Wa Law Nazzalnāhu `Alá Ba`đi Al-'A`jamīna

And if we had revealed it to any of the foreigners

Faqaraahu AAalayhim ma kanoo bihi mumineena

So that he should have recited it to them, they would not have believed therein

Kathalika salaknahu fee quloobi almujrimeena

Thus have We caused it to enter into the hearts of the guilty

La yuminoona bihi hatta yarawoo alAAathaba alaleema

They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment

And it shall come to them all of a sudden, while they shall not perceive

Fayaqūlū Hal Naĥnu Munžarūna

Then they will say: Shall we be respited

AfabiAAathabina yastaAAjiloona

Afabi`adhābinā Yasta`jilūna

What! do they still seek to hasten on Our punishment

Afaraayta in mattaAAnahum sineena

Afara'ayta 'In Matta`nāhum Sinīna

Have you then considered if We let them enjoy themselves for years

Thumma jaahum ma kanoo yooAAadoona

Then there comes to them that with which they are threatened

Ma aghna AAanhum ma kanoo yumattaAAoona

Mā 'Aghná `Anhum Mā Kānū Yumatta`ūna

That which they were made to enjoy shall not avail them

Wama ahlakna min qaryatin illa laha munthiroona

Wa Mā 'Ahlaknā Min Qaryatin 'Illā Lahā Mundhirūna

And We did not destroy any town but it had (its) warners

Thikra wama kunna thalimeena

Dhikrá Wa Mā Kunnā Žālimīna

To remind, and We are never unjust

Wama tanazzalat bihi alshshayateenu

Wa Mā Tanazzalat Bihi Ash-Shayāţīnu

And the Shaitans have not come down with it

Wama yanbaghee lahum wama yastateeAAoona

Wa Mā Yanbaghī Lahum Wa Mā Yastaţī`ūna

And it behoves them not, and they have not the power to do (it)

Innahum AAani alssamAAi lamaAAzooloona

Innahum `Ani As-Sam`i Lama`zūlūna

Most surely they are far removed from the hearing of it

Fala tadAAu maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara fatakoona mina almuAAaththabeena

Falā Tad`u Ma`a Allāhi 'Ilahāan 'Ākhara Fatakūna Mina Al-Mu`adhabīna

Wa 'Andhir `Ashīrataka Al-'Aqrabīna

And warn your nearest relations

Waikhfid janahaka limani ittabaAAaka mina almumineena

Wa Akhfiđ Janāĥaka Limani Attaba`aka Mina Al-Mu'uminīna

And be kind to him who follows you of the believers

Fain AAasawka faqul innee bareeon mimma taAAmaloona

Fa'in `Aşawka Faqul 'Innī Barī'un Mimmā Ta`malūna

But if they disobey you, then say: Surely I am clear of what you do

Watawakkal AAala alAAazeezi alrraheemi

Wa Tawakkal `Alá Al-`Azīzi Ar-Raĥīmi

And rely on the Mighty, the Merciful

Allathee yaraka heena taqoomu

Al-Ladhī Yarāka Ĥīna Taqūmu

Who sees you when you stand up

Wataqallubaka fee alssajideena

Wa Taqallubaka Fī As-Sājidīna

And your turning over and over among those who prostrate themselves before Allah

Innahu huwa alssameeAAu alAAaleemu

Innahu Huwa As-Samī`u Al-`Alīmu

Surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing

Hal onabbiokum AAala man tanazzalu alshshayateenu

Hal 'Unabbi'ukum `Alá Man Tanazzalu Ash-Shayāţīnu

Shall I inform you (of him) upon whom the Shaitans descend

Tanazzalu AAala kulli affakin atheemin

Tanazzalu `Alá Kulli 'Affākin 'Athīmin

They descend upon every lying, sinful one

Yulqoona alssamAAa waaktharuhum kathiboona

Yulqūna As-Sam`a Wa 'Aktharuhum Kādhibūna

They incline their ears, and most of them are liars

WaalshshuAAarao yattabiAAuhumu alghawoona

Wa Ash-Shu`arā'u Yattabi`uhumu Al-Ghāwūna

And as to the poets, those who go astray follow them

Alam tara annahum fee kulli wadin yaheemoona

Alam Tará 'Annahum Fī Kulli Wādin Yahīmūna

Do you not see that they wander about bewildered in every valley

Waannahum yaqooloona ma la yafAAaloona

Wa 'Annahum Yaqūlūna Mā Lā Yaf`alūna

And that they say that which they do not do

Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati wathakaroo Allaha katheeran waintasaroo min baAAdi ma thulimoo wasayaAAlamu allatheena thalamoo ayya munqalabin yanqaliboona

Illā Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Wa `Amilū Aş-Şāliĥāti Wa Dhakarū Allāha Kathīrāan Wa Antaşarū Min Ba`di Mā Žulimū Wa Saya`lamu Al-Ladhīna Žalamū 'Ayya Munqalabin Yanqalibūna

Except those who believe and do good and remember Allah much, and defend themselves after they are oppressed; and they who act unjustly shall know to what final place of turning they shall turn back
