Qālū mā antum illā basharun mithlunā wamā anzala ar-raḥmānu min shayʾin in antum illā takdhibūn
They said: Ye are but mortals like unto us. The Beneficent hath naught revealed. Ye do but lie!

Qālū rabbunā yaʿlamu innā ilaykum lamursalūn

وَمَا عَلَيْنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ﴿١٧﴾
Wamā ʿalaynā illā al-balāghu al-mubīn
And our duty is but plain conveyance (of the message).

Aʾattakhidhu min dūnihi ālihatan in yuridni ar-raḥmānu biḍurrin lā tughni ʿannī shafāʿatuhum shayʾan walā yunqidhūn
Shall I take (other) gods in place of Him when, if the Beneficent should wish me any harm, their intercession will avail me naught, nor can they save?

أَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ ﴿٣١﴾
Alam yaraw kam ahlaknā qablahum mina al-qurūni annahum ilayhim lā yarjiʿūn

وَإِن كُلٌّ لَّمَّا جَمِيعٌ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ ﴿٣٢﴾
Waʾin kullun lammā jamīʿun ladaynā muḥḍarūn
But all, without exception, will be brought before Us.
وَءَايَةٌ لَّهُمُ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلْمَيْتَةُ أَحْيَيْنَـٰهَا وَأَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهَا حَبًّا فَمِنْهُ يَأْكُلُونَ ﴿٣٣﴾
Waʾāyatun lahumu al-arḍu al-maytatu aḥyaynāhā waʾakhrajnā minhā ḥabban faminhu yaʾkulūn
A token unto them is the dead earth. We revive it, and We bring forth from it grain so that they eat thereof;
وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا جَنَّـٰتٍ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَـٰبٍ وَفَجَّرْنَا فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْعُيُونِ ﴿٣٤﴾
Wajaʿalnā fīhā jannātin min nakhīlin waʾaʿnābin wafajjarnā fīhā mina al-ʿuyūn

لِيَأْكُلُوا۟ مِن ثَمَرِهِۦ وَمَا عَمِلَتْهُ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۖ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ ﴿٣٥﴾
Liyaʾkulū min thamarihi wamā ʿamilathu aydīhim afalā yashkurūn
That they may eat of the fruit thereof, and their hands made it not. Will they not, then, give thanks?
سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْأَزْوَٰجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَمِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٣٦﴾
Subḥāna alladhī khalaqa al-azwāja kullahā mimmā tunbitu al-arḍu wamin anfusihim wamimmā lā yaʿlamūn
Glory be to Him Who created all the sexual pairs, of that which the earth groweth, and of themselves, and of that which they know not!

Wash-shamsu tajrī limustaqarrin lahā dhālika taqdīru al-ʿazīzi al-ʿalīm
And the sun runneth on unto a resting-place for him. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Wise.
وَٱلْقَمَرَ قَدَّرْنَـٰهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّىٰ عَادَ كَٱلْعُرْجُونِ ٱلْقَدِيمِ ﴿٣٩﴾
Wal-qamara qaddarnāhu manāzila ḥattā ʿāda kal-ʿurjūni al-qadīm
And for the moon We have appointed mansions till she return like an old shrivelled palm-leaf.
لَا ٱلشَّمْسُ يَنۢبَغِى لَهَآ أَن تُدْرِكَ ٱلْقَمَرَ وَلَا ٱلَّيْلُ سَابِقُ ٱلنَّهَارِ ۚ وَكُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ ﴿٤٠﴾
Lā ash-shamsu yanbaghī lahā an tudrika al-qamara walā allaylu sābiqu an-nahāri wakullun fī falakin yasbaḥūn
It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit.
وَءَايَةٌ لَّهُمْ أَنَّا حَمَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ ﴿٤١﴾

Wakhalaqnā lahum min mithlihi mā yarkabūn
And have created for them of the like thereof whereon they ride.
وَإِن نَّشَأْ نُغْرِقْهُمْ فَلَا صَرِيخَ لَهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنقَذُونَ ﴿٤٣﴾
Waʾin nashaʾ nughriqhum falā ṣarīkha lahum walā hum yunqadhūn
And if We will, We drown them, and there is no help for them, neither can they be saved;
إِلَّا رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا وَمَتَـٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٍ ﴿٤٤﴾
Illā raḥmatan minnā wamatāʿan ilā ḥīn
Unless by mercy from Us and as comfort for a while.
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَمَا خَلْفَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ ﴿٤٥﴾
Waʾidhā qīla lahumu uttaqū mā bayna aydīkum wamā khalfakum laʿallakum turḥamūn
When it is said unto them: Beware of that which is before you and that which is behind you, that haply ye may find mercy (they are heedless).
وَمَا تَأْتِيهِم مِّنْ ءَايَةٍ مِّنْ ءَايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ ﴿٤٦﴾
Wamā taʾtīhim min āyatin min āyāti rabbihim illā kānū ʿanhā muʿriḍīn
Never came a token of the tokens of their Lord to them, but they did turn away from it!
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ أَنفِقُوا۟ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَنُطْعِمُ مَن لَّوْ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ أَطْعَمَهُۥٓ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿٤٧﴾
Waʾidhā qīla lahum anfiqū mimmā razaqakumu Allāhu qāla alladhīna kafarū lilladhīna āmanū anuṭʿimu man law yashāʾu Allāhu aṭʿamahu in antum illā fī ḍalālin mubīn
And when it is said unto them: Spend of that wherewith Allah hath provided you, those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Shall we feed those whom Allah, if He willed, would feed? Ye are in naught else than error manifest.
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ﴿٤٨﴾
Wayaqūlūna matā hādhā al-waʿdu in kuntum ṣādiqīn
And they say: When will this promise be fulfilled, if ye are truthful?
مَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَٰحِدَةً تَأْخُذُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَخِصِّمُونَ ﴿٤٩﴾
Mā yanẓurūna illā ṣayḥatan wāḥidatan taʾkhudhuhum wahum yakhiṣṣimūn
They await but one Shout, which will surprise them while they are disputing.
فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ تَوْصِيَةً وَلَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ﴿٥٠﴾
Falā yastaṭīʿūna tawṣiyatan walā ilā ahlihim yarjiʿūn
Then they cannot make bequest, nor can they return to their own folk.
وَنُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَإِذَا هُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَنسِلُونَ ﴿٥١﴾
Wanufikha fī aṣ-ṣūri faʾidhā hum mina al-ajdāthi ilā rabbihim yansilūn
And the trumpet is blown and lo! from the graves they hie unto their Lord,
قَالُوا۟ يَـٰوَيْلَنَا مَنۢ بَعَثَنَا مِن مَّرْقَدِنَا ۜ ۗ هَـٰذَا مَا وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَصَدَقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ﴿٥٢﴾
Qālū yā waylanā man baʿathanā min marqadinā hādhā mā waʿada ar-raḥmānu waṣadaqa al-mursalūn
Crying: Woe upon us! Who hath raised us from our place of sleep? This is that which the Beneficent did promise, and the messengers spoke truth.
إِن كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَٰحِدَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ جَمِيعٌ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ ﴿٥٣﴾
In kānat illā ṣayḥatan wāḥidatan faʾidhā hum jamīʿun ladaynā muḥḍarūn
It is but one Shout, and behold them brought together before Us!
فَٱلْيَوْمَ لَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٥٤﴾
Fal-yawma lā tuẓlamu nafsun shayʾan walā tujzawna illā mā kuntum taʿmalūn
This day no soul is wronged in aught; nor are ye requited aught save what ye used to do.
إِنَّ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ٱلْيَوْمَ فِى شُغُلٍ فَـٰكِهُونَ ﴿٥٥﴾
Inna aṣḥāba al-jannati al-yawma fī shughulin fākihūn
Lo! those who merit paradise this day are happily employed,
هُمْ وَأَزْوَٰجُهُمْ فِى ظِلَـٰلٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ مُتَّكِـُٔونَ ﴿٥٦﴾
Hum waʾazwājuhum fī ẓilālin ʿalā al-arāʾiki muttakiʾūn
They and their wives, in pleasant shade, on thrones reclining;
لَهُمْ فِيهَا فَـٰكِهَةٌ وَلَهُم مَّا يَدَّعُونَ ﴿٥٧﴾
Lahum fīhā fākihatun walahum mā yaddaʿūn
Theirs the fruit (of their good deeds) and theirs (all) that they ask;
سَلَـٰمٌ قَوْلًا مِّن رَّبٍّ رَّحِيمٍ ﴿٥٨﴾
Salāmun qawlan min rabbin raḥīm
The word from a Merciful Lord (for them) is: Peace!
وَٱمْتَـٰزُوا۟ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ﴿٥٩﴾
Wāmtāzū al-yawma ayyuhā al-mujrimūn
But avaunt ye, O ye guilty, this day!
۞ أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَـٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوا۟ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ﴿٦٠﴾
Alam aʿhad ilaykum yā banī ādama an lā taʿbudū ash-shayṭāna innahu lakum ʿaduwwun mubīn
Did I not charge you, O ye sons of Adam, that ye worship not the devil - Lo! he is your open foe! -
وَأَنِ ٱعْبُدُونِى ۚ هَـٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ ﴿٦١﴾
Waʾani uʿbudūnī hādhā ṣirāṭun mustaqīm
But that ye worship Me? That was the right path.
وَلَقَدْ أَضَلَّ مِنكُمْ جِبِلًّا كَثِيرًا ۖ أَفَلَمْ تَكُونُوا۟ تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿٦٢﴾
Walaqad aḍalla minkum jibillan kathīran afalam takūnū taʿqilūn
Yet he hath led astray of you a great multitude. Had ye then no sense?
هَـٰذِهِۦ جَهَنَّمُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ ﴿٦٣﴾
Hādhihi jahannamu allatī kuntum tūʿadūn
This is hell which ye were promised (if ye followed him).
ٱصْلَوْهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ ﴿٦٤﴾
Iṣlawhā al-yawma bimā kuntum takfurūn
Burn therein this day for that ye disbelieved.
ٱلْيَوْمَ نَخْتِمُ عَلَىٰٓ أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَتُكَلِّمُنَآ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَتَشْهَدُ أَرْجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ ﴿٦٥﴾
Al-yawma nakhtimu ʿalā afwāhihim watukallimunā aydīhim watashhadu arjuluhum bimā kānū yaksibūn
This day We seal up their mouths, and their hands speak out to Us and their feet bear witness as to what they used to earn.
وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَطَمَسْنَا عَلَىٰٓ أَعْيُنِهِمْ فَٱسْتَبَقُوا۟ ٱلصِّرَٰطَ فَأَنَّىٰ يُبْصِرُونَ ﴿٦٦﴾
Walaw nashāʾu laṭamasnā ʿalā aʿyunihim fāstabaqū aṣ-ṣirāṭa faʾannā yubṣirūn
And had We willed, We verily could have quenched their eyesight so that they should struggle for the way. Then how could they have seen?
وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَمَسَخْنَـٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِهِمْ فَمَا ٱسْتَطَـٰعُوا۟ مُضِيًّا وَلَا يَرْجِعُونَ ﴿٦٧﴾
Walaw nashāʾu lamasakhnāhum ʿalā makānatihim famā istaṭāʿū muḍiyyan walā yarjiʿūn
And had We willed, We verily could have fixed them in their place, making them powerless to go forward or turn back.
وَمَن نُّعَمِّرْهُ نُنَكِّسْهُ فِى ٱلْخَلْقِ ۖ أَفَلَا يَعْقِلُونَ ﴿٦٨﴾
Waman nuʿammirhu nunakkishu fī al-khalqi afalā yaʿqilūn
He whom we bring unto old age, We reverse him in creation (making him go back to weakness after strength). Have ye then no sense?
وَمَا عَلَّمْنَـٰهُ ٱلشِّعْرَ وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُۥٓ ۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ وَقُرْءَانٌ مُّبِينٌ ﴿٦٩﴾
Wamā ʿallamnāhu ash-shiʿra wamā yanbaghī lahu in huwa illā dhikrun waqurʾānun mubīn
And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain,
لِّيُنذِرَ مَن كَانَ حَيًّا وَيَحِقَّ ٱلْقَوْلُ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ﴿٧٠﴾
Liyundhira man kāna ḥayyan wayaḥiqqa al-qawlu ʿalā al-kāfirīn
To warn whosoever liveth, and that the word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّمَّا عَمِلَتْ أَيْدِينَآ أَنْعَـٰمًا فَهُمْ لَهَا مَـٰلِكُونَ ﴿٧١﴾
Awalam yaraw annā khalaqnā lahum mimmā ʿamilat aydīnā anʿāman fahum lahā mālikūn
Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle, so that they are their owners,
وَذَلَّلْنَـٰهَا لَهُمْ فَمِنْهَا رَكُوبُهُمْ وَمِنْهَا يَأْكُلُونَ ﴿٧٢﴾
Wadhallalnāhā lahum faminhā rakūbuhum waminhā yaʾkulūn
And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food?
وَلَهُمْ فِيهَا مَنَـٰفِعُ وَمَشَارِبُ ۖ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ ﴿٧٣﴾
Walahum fīhā manāfiʿu wamashāribu afalā yashkurūn
Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks?
وَٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ءَالِهَةً لَّعَلَّهُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ﴿٧٤﴾
Wāttakhadhū min dūni Allāhi ālihatan laʿallahum yunṣarūn
And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order that they may be helped.
لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَهُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُمْ جُندٌ مُّحْضَرُونَ ﴿٧٥﴾
Lā yastaṭīʿūna naṣrahum wahum lahum jundun muḥḍarūn
It is not in their power to help them; but they (the worshippers) are unto them a host in arms.
فَلَا يَحْزُنكَ قَوْلُهُمْ ۘ إِنَّا نَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ ﴿٧٦﴾
Falā yaḥzunka qawluhum innā naʿlamu mā yusirrūna wamā yuʿlinūn
So let not their speech grieve thee (O Muhammad). Lo! We know what they conceal and what proclaim.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُّبِينٌ ﴿٧٧﴾
Awalam yara al-insānu annā khalaqnāhu min nuṭfatin faʾidhā huwa khaṣīmun mubīn
Hath not man seen that We have created him from a drop of seed? Yet lo! he is an open opponent.
وَضَرَبَ لَنَا مَثَلًا وَنَسِىَ خَلْقَهُۥ ۖ قَالَ مَن يُحْىِ ٱلْعِظَـٰمَ وَهِىَ رَمِيمٌ ﴿٧٨﴾
Waḍaraba lanā mathalan wanasiya khalqahu qāla man yuḥyī al-ʿiẓāma wahiya ramīm
And he hath coined for Us a similitude, and hath forgotten the fact of his creation, saying: Who will revive these bones when they have rotted away?
قُلْ يُحْيِيهَا ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَهَآ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ ۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ خَلْقٍ عَلِيمٌ ﴿٧٩﴾
Qul yuḥyīhā alladhī anshaʾahā awwala marratin wahuwa bikulli khalqin ʿalīm
Say: He will revive them Who produced them at the first, for He is Knower of every creation,
ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ ٱلْأَخْضَرِ نَارًا فَإِذَآ أَنتُم مِّنْهُ تُوقِدُونَ ﴿٨٠﴾
Alladhī jaʿala lakum mina ash-shajari al-akhḍari nāran faʾidhā antum minhu tūqidūn
Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! ye kindle from it.
أَوَلَيْسَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُم ۚ بَلَىٰ وَهُوَ ٱلْخَلَّـٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ﴿٨١﴾
Awalaysa alladhī khalaqa as-samāwāti wal-arḍa biqādirin ʿalā an yakhluqa mithlahum balā wahuwa al-khallāqu al-ʿalīm
Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator,
إِنَّمَآ أَمْرُهُۥٓ إِذَآ أَرَادَ شَيْـًٔا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ ﴿٨٢﴾
Innamā amruhu idhā arāda shayʾan an yaqūla lahu kun fayakūn
But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is.
فَسُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِۦ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ﴿٨٣﴾
Fasubḥāna alladhī biyadihi malakūtu kulli shayʾin waʾilayhi turjaʿūn
Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back.
