Juz 16
سُورَةُ الكَهۡفِ18. The Cave
18:75
قَالَ أَلَمۡ أَقُل لَّكَ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسۡتَطِيعَ مَعِيَ صَبۡرٗا ٧٥
He answered: “Did I not tell you that you won’t have patience with me?”
18:76
قَالَ إِن سَأَلۡتُكَ عَن شَيۡءِۭ بَعۡدَهَا فَلَا تُصَٰحِبۡنِيۖ قَدۡ بَلَغۡتَ مِن لَّدُنِّي عُذۡرٗا ٧٦
[Mūsā] said: “If ever I ask you about anything after this, keep me not in your company. You have received [an] excuse from my side.”
18:77
فَٱنطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَتَيَآ أَهۡلَ قَرۡيَةٍ ٱسۡتَطۡعَمَآ أَهۡلَهَا فَأَبَوۡاْ أَن يُضَيِّفُوهُمَا فَوَجَدَا فِيهَا جِدَارٗا يُرِيدُ أَن يَنقَضَّ فَأَقَامَهُۥۖ قَالَ لَوۡ شِئۡتَ لَتَّخَذۡتَ عَلَيۡهِ أَجۡرٗا ٧٧
So they proceeded until they came to the inhabitants of a town, they asked them for food, but they [townsmen] refused them hospitality. Then they found there a wall on the verge of collapse, so he set it up straight. [Mūsā] said: “If you had wished, surely you could have exacted some compensation for it!”
18:78
قَالَ هَٰذَا فِرَاقُ بَيۡنِي وَبَيۡنِكَۚ سَأُنَبِّئُكَ بِتَأۡوِيلِ مَا لَمۡ تَسۡتَطِع عَّلَيۡهِ صَبۡرًا ٧٨
He answered: “This is the parting between me and you. Now I will tell you the interpretation of [things] over which you were unable to hold patience.
18:79
أَمَّا ٱلسَّفِينَةُ فَكَانَتۡ لِمَسَٰكِينَ يَعۡمَلُونَ فِي ٱلۡبَحۡرِ فَأَرَدتُّ أَنۡ أَعِيبَهَا وَكَانَ وَرَآءَهُم مَّلِكٞ يَأۡخُذُ كُلَّ سَفِينَةٍ غَصۡبٗا ٧٩
“As for the boat, it belonged to some poor [people] who plied in the river. So I wished to damage it, for there was after them a [certain] king who seized by force every [good] boat.
18:80
وَأَمَّا ٱلۡغُلَٰمُ فَكَانَ أَبَوَاهُ مُؤۡمِنَيۡنِ فَخَشِينَآ أَن يُرۡهِقَهُمَا طُغۡيَٰنٗا وَكُفۡرٗا ٨٠
“As for the boy, his parents were people of Faith, and we feared that he would grieve them by obstinate rebellion and ingratitude [to Allāh].
18:81
فَأَرَدۡنَآ أَن يُبۡدِلَهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا خَيۡرٗا مِّنۡهُ زَكَوٰةٗ وَأَقۡرَبَ رُحۡمٗا ٨١
“So we wished that their Lord would give them in exchange [a son] better in purity and more compassionate [to his parents].
18:82
وَأَمَّا ٱلۡجِدَارُ فَكَانَ لِغُلَٰمَيۡنِ يَتِيمَيۡنِ فِي ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَ تَحۡتَهُۥ كَنزٞ لَّهُمَا وَكَانَ أَبُوهُمَا صَٰلِحٗا فَأَرَادَ رَبُّكَ أَن يَبۡلُغَآ أَشُدَّهُمَا وَيَسۡتَخۡرِجَا كَنزَهُمَا رَحۡمَةٗ مِّن رَّبِّكَۚ وَمَا فَعَلۡتُهُۥ عَنۡ أَمۡرِيۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَأۡوِيلُ مَا لَمۡ تَسۡطِع عَّلَيۡهِ صَبۡرٗا ٨٢
“As for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the town. Beneath it was a buried treasure to which they were entitled. Their father had been a righteous man, so your Lord desired that they should attain their age of full strength and take out their treasure — a mercy from your Lord. I did it not of my own accord. This is the interpretation of [those things] over which you were unable to hold patience.”
18:83
وَيَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَن ذِي ٱلۡقَرۡنَيۡنِۖ قُلۡ سَأَتۡلُواْ عَلَيۡكُم مِّنۡهُ ذِكۡرًا ٨٣
They ask you concerning Dhu’l-Qarnayn.Say, “I will relate to you something of his story.”
18:84
إِنَّا مَكَّنَّا لَهُۥ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ مِن كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ سَبَبٗا ٨٤
Verily, We established [his power] on earth, and We gave him ways and means to everything.
18:85
فَأَتۡبَعَ سَبَبًا ٨٥
One [such] way he followed,
18:86
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ مَغۡرِبَ ٱلشَّمۡسِ وَجَدَهَا تَغۡرُبُ فِي عَيۡنٍ حَمِئَةٖ وَوَجَدَ عِندَهَا قَوۡمٗاۗ قُلۡنَا يَٰذَا ٱلۡقَرۡنَيۡنِ إِمَّآ أَن تُعَذِّبَ وَإِمَّآ أَن تَتَّخِذَ فِيهِمۡ حُسۡنٗا ٨٦
until, when he reached the place of the setting of the Sun, he found it setting in a spring of murky water, and near it he found a people. We said: “O Dhu’l-Qarnayn! [you have the choice] either to punish them or to treat them with kindness.”
18:87
قَالَ أَمَّا مَن ظَلَمَ فَسَوۡفَ نُعَذِّبُهُۥ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ فَيُعَذِّبُهُۥ عَذَابٗا نُّكۡرٗا ٨٧
He said: “Whoever does wrong, him shall we punish; then shall he be sent back to his Lord; and He will punish him with a punishment severe.
18:88
وَأَمَّا مَنۡ ءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا فَلَهُۥ جَزَآءً ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰۖ وَسَنَقُولُ لَهُۥ مِنۡ أَمۡرِنَا يُسۡرٗا ٨٨
“But whoever believes, and works righteousness, he shall have an excellent reward, and we will command him to do easy task.”
18:89
ثُمَّ أَتۡبَعَ سَبَبًا ٨٩
Then he followed [another] way,
18:90
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ مَطۡلِعَ ٱلشَّمۡسِ وَجَدَهَا تَطۡلُعُ عَلَىٰ قَوۡمٖ لَّمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُم مِّن دُونِهَا سِتۡرٗا ٩٠
until, when he came to the place of the rising of the Sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had provided no covering protection against it [the Sun].
18:91
كَذَٰلِكَ وَقَدۡ أَحَطۡنَا بِمَا لَدَيۡهِ خُبۡرٗا ٩١
[He left them] as they were: We fully knew what was before him.
18:92
ثُمَّ أَتۡبَعَ سَبَبًا ٩٢
Then he followed [another] way,
18:93
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ بَيۡنَ ٱلسَّدَّيۡنِ وَجَدَ مِن دُونِهِمَا قَوۡمٗا لَّا يَكَادُونَ يَفۡقَهُونَ قَوۡلٗا ٩٣
until, when he reached [a tract] between the two mountains, he found beneath them a people who scarcely understood a word.
18:94
قَالُواْ يَٰذَا ٱلۡقَرۡنَيۡنِ إِنَّ يَأۡجُوجَ وَمَأۡجُوجَ مُفۡسِدُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَهَلۡ نَجۡعَلُ لَكَ خَرۡجًا عَلَىٰٓ أَن تَجۡعَلَ بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَهُمۡ سَدّٗا ٩٤
They said: “O Dhu’l-Qarnayn! The Gog and Magogdo great mischief on earth. Shall we then pay you [a regular] tribute in order that you may build a barrier between us and them?
18:95
قَالَ مَا مَكَّنِّي فِيهِ رَبِّي خَيۡرٞ فَأَعِينُونِي بِقُوَّةٍ أَجۡعَلۡ بَيۡنَكُمۡ وَبَيۡنَهُمۡ رَدۡمًا ٩٥
He said: “[The power] which my Lord has granted me is better [than tribute]. So help me with strength [and labour]: I will erect a [strong] barrier between you and them.
18:96
ءَاتُونِي زُبَرَ ٱلۡحَدِيدِۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا سَاوَىٰ بَيۡنَ ٱلصَّدَفَيۡنِ قَالَ ٱنفُخُواْۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَعَلَهُۥ نَارٗا قَالَ ءَاتُونِيٓ أُفۡرِغۡ عَلَيۡهِ قِطۡرٗا ٩٦
“Bring me chunks of iron.” At length, when he had filled up the space between the two mountain-sides, He said, “Blow [with your bellows]!” Then, when he had made it [red] as fire, he said: “Bring it to me, so that I may pour over it, molten lead.”
18:97
فَمَا ٱسۡطَٰعُوٓاْ أَن يَظۡهَرُوهُ وَمَا ٱسۡتَطَٰعُواْ لَهُۥ نَقۡبٗا ٩٧
Thus were they [the Gog and Magog] made powerless to scale it or to dig a hole through it.
18:98
قَالَ هَٰذَا رَحۡمَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّيۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ رَبِّي جَعَلَهُۥ دَكَّآءَۖ وَكَانَ وَعۡدُ رَبِّي حَقّٗا ٩٨
He said: “This is a mercy from my Lord: But when the promise of my Lord comes [to pass], He will make it into dust; and the promise of my Lord is true.”
18:99
وَتَرَكۡنَا بَعۡضَهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَمُوجُ فِي بَعۡضٖۖ وَنُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَجَمَعۡنَٰهُمۡ جَمۡعٗا ٩٩
On that day We shall leave them to surge like waves on one another, and the Trumpet will be blown, and We shall assemble them all together.
18:100
وَعَرَضۡنَا جَهَنَّمَ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡكَٰفِرِينَ عَرۡضًا ١٠٠
And We shall present Hell that day for the Rejecters [of Truth to see], all spread out,
18:101
ٱلَّذِينَ كَانَتۡ أَعۡيُنُهُمۡ فِي غِطَآءٍ عَن ذِكۡرِي وَكَانُواْ لَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ سَمۡعًا ١٠١
whose [unbelievers’] eyes had been under a veil from remembrance of Me, and who had been unable even to hear.
18:102
أَفَحَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَن يَتَّخِذُواْ عِبَادِي مِن دُونِيٓ أَوۡلِيَآءَۚ إِنَّآ أَعۡتَدۡنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ نُزُلٗا ١٠٢
Do the Rejecters think that they [can] take My servantsas guardians besides Me? Verily, We have prepared Hell for the Rejecters as [their] abode.
18:103
قُلۡ هَلۡ نُنَبِّئُكُم بِٱلۡأَخۡسَرِينَ أَعۡمَٰلًا ١٠٣
Say [O Prophet]: “Shall we inform you of those who lose most in respect of their deeds?
18:104
ٱلَّذِينَ ضَلَّ سَعۡيُهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَهُمۡ يَحۡسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمۡ يُحۡسِنُونَ صُنۡعًا ١٠٤
“[They are] those whose efforts have been wasted in this life, while they thought that they were doing good deeds?”
18:105
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَلِقَآئِهِۦ فَحَبِطَتۡ أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ فَلَا نُقِيمُ لَهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وَزۡنٗا ١٠٥
They are the ones who rejected the Signs of their Lord and the fact of their having to meet Him [in the Hereafter]: so, forfeited will be their deeds, and on the Day of Resurrection We shall give them no weight.
18:106
ذَٰلِكَ جَزَآؤُهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُ بِمَا كَفَرُواْ وَٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ ءَايَٰتِي وَرُسُلِي هُزُوًا ١٠٦
That is their reward: Hell, because they rejected Faith, and mocked My Signs and My Messengers.
18:107
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ كَانَتۡ لَهُمۡ جَنَّٰتُ ٱلۡفِرۡدَوۡسِ نُزُلًا ١٠٧
As to those who believe and do righteous deeds, they have for their abode the Gardens of Paradise,
18:108
خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا لَا يَبۡغُونَ عَنۡهَا حِوَلٗا ١٠٨
wherein they shall dwell forever: no change will they wish for from there.
18:109
قُل لَّوۡ كَانَ ٱلۡبَحۡرُ مِدَادٗا لِّكَلِمَٰتِ رَبِّي لَنَفِدَ ٱلۡبَحۡرُ قَبۡلَ أَن تَنفَدَ كَلِمَٰتُ رَبِّي وَلَوۡ جِئۡنَا بِمِثۡلِهِۦ مَدَدٗا ١٠٩
Say [O Prophet]: “If the ocean were ink [wherewith to write out] the words of my Lord, sooner would the ocean be exhausted than would the words of my Lord, even if we came with another ocean like it, for its aid.”
18:110
قُلۡ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُكُمۡ يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيَّ أَنَّمَآ إِلَٰهُكُمۡ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۖ فَمَن كَانَ يَرۡجُواْ لِقَآءَ رَبِّهِۦ فَلۡيَعۡمَلۡ عَمَلٗا صَٰلِحٗا وَلَا يُشۡرِكۡ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِۦٓ أَحَدَۢا ١١٠
Say [O Prophet]: “I am but a human being like yourselves, [except that] the revelation comes to me that your God is One God. Whoever expects to meet his Lord, let him work righteousness, and, let him, in the worship of his Lord, join no one as partner [of Allāh].

Kāf. Hā. Yā. ‘Ain. Ṣād.
19:2
ذِكۡرُ رَحۡمَتِ رَبِّكَ عَبۡدَهُۥ زَكَرِيَّآ ٢
[This is] a narrative of the Mercy of your Lord to His servant Zakarīyā.
19:3
إِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥ نِدَآءً خَفِيّٗا ٣
Behold! He called out to his Lord in secret,
19:4
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي وَهَنَ ٱلۡعَظۡمُ مِنِّي وَٱشۡتَعَلَ ٱلرَّأۡسُ شَيۡبٗا وَلَمۡ أَكُنۢ بِدُعَآئِكَ رَبِّ شَقِيّٗا ٤
Praying: “O My Lord! Infirm indeed are my bones, and the hair of my head does glisten with grey: But never was I unprosperous, O My Lord, in my supplication to You!
19:5
وَإِنِّي خِفۡتُ ٱلۡمَوَٰلِيَ مِن وَرَآءِي وَكَانَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتِي عَاقِرٗا فَهَبۡ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيّٗا ٥
“Now I fear [what] my relatives [will do] after me, and my wife is barren: so give me an heir as from Yourself,
19:6
يَرِثُنِي وَيَرِثُ مِنۡ ءَالِ يَعۡقُوبَۖ وَٱجۡعَلۡهُ رَبِّ رَضِيّٗا ٦
“[One that] will inherit me, and inherit some of the legacy of Ya‘qūb; and make him, O My Lord, one with whom You are well-pleased!”
19:7
يَٰزَكَرِيَّآ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَٰمٍ ٱسۡمُهُۥ يَحۡيَىٰ لَمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ مِن قَبۡلُ سَمِيّٗا ٧
[Allāh said:] “O Zakarīyā!We give you the good tidings of a son: his name shall be Yaḥyā,on none We have conferred that name before.”
19:8
قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَٰمٞ وَكَانَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتِي عَاقِرٗا وَقَدۡ بَلَغۡتُ مِنَ ٱلۡكِبَرِ عِتِيّٗا ٨
He said: “O My Lord! How shall I have a son, when my wife is barren and I have reached extreme old age?”
19:9
قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ قَالَ رَبُّكَ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٞ وَقَدۡ خَلَقۡتُكَ مِن قَبۡلُ وَلَمۡ تَكُ شَيۡـٔٗا ٩
He [Allāh] said: “So [it will be]. Your Lord says: ‘That is easy for Me: I did indeed create you before when you were nothing!’”
19:10
قَالَ رَبِّ ٱجۡعَل لِّيٓ ءَايَةٗۚ قَالَ ءَايَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ ٱلنَّاسَ ثَلَٰثَ لَيَالٖ سَوِيّٗا ١٠
He [Zakarīyā] said: “O My Lord! Set for me a Sign.” He [Allāh] said: “Your Sign is that you shall not speak to people for three nights straight.
19:11
فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلۡمِحۡرَابِ فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَيۡهِمۡ أَن سَبِّحُواْ بُكۡرَةٗ وَعَشِيّٗا ١١
So he [Zakarīyā] came out to his people from the chamber: and told them by sign to glorify Allāh in the morning and in the evening.
19:12
يَٰيَحۡيَىٰ خُذِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِقُوَّةٖۖ وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلۡحُكۡمَ صَبِيّٗا ١٢
[To his son came the divine command:] “O Yaḥyā! Hold the Book firmly!” And We gave him Wisdom while [he was still] a child,
19:13
وَحَنَانٗا مِّن لَّدُنَّا وَزَكَوٰةٗۖ وَكَانَ تَقِيّٗا ١٣
and compassion [for all] as [a gift] from Us, and purity: and he was [God‐]fearing,
19:14
وَبَرَّۢا بِوَٰلِدَيۡهِ وَلَمۡ يَكُن جَبَّارًا عَصِيّٗا ١٤
and [he was] kind to his parents, and was not a tyrant, rebellious,
19:15
وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَيۡهِ يَوۡمَ وُلِدَ وَيَوۡمَ يَمُوتُ وَيَوۡمَ يُبۡعَثُ حَيّٗا ١٥
so be peace on him the day he was born, the day he dies, and the day he will be raised up to life [again]!
19:16
وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مَرۡيَمَ إِذِ ٱنتَبَذَتۡ مِنۡ أَهۡلِهَا مَكَانٗا شَرۡقِيّٗا ١٦
Relate in the Book [the story of] Mariyam [Mary],when she withdrew from her family to a place in the east.
19:17
فَٱتَّخَذَتۡ مِن دُونِهِمۡ حِجَابٗا فَأَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡهَا رُوحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرٗا سَوِيّٗا ١٧
She placed a screen [to hide herself] from them. Then We sent to her Our angel, and he appeared before her as a man complete.
19:18
قَالَتۡ إِنِّيٓ أَعُوذُ بِٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مِنكَ إِن كُنتَ تَقِيّٗا ١٨
She said: “I seek refuge from you with [Allāh] the Most-Gracious: [come not near me] if you do fear [Allāh].”
19:19
قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ رَسُولُ رَبِّكِ لِأَهَبَ لَكِ غُلَٰمٗا زَكِيّٗا ١٩
He said: “Nay, I am only a Messenger from your Lord to gift you a son pure [righteous].
19:20
قَالَتۡ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَٰمٞ وَلَمۡ يَمۡسَسۡنِي بَشَرٞ وَلَمۡ أَكُ بَغِيّٗا ٢٠
She said: “How shall I have a son when no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?”
19:21
قَالَ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٞۖ وَلِنَجۡعَلَهُۥٓ ءَايَةٗ لِّلنَّاسِ وَرَحۡمَةٗ مِّنَّاۚ وَكَانَ أَمۡرٗا مَّقۡضِيّٗا ٢١
He said: “So [it will be]: your Lord says, ‘That is easy for Me: and [We wish] to appoint him as a Sign unto people and a Mercy from Us.’ It is a matter [so] decreed.”
19:22
فَحَمَلَتۡهُ فَٱنتَبَذَتۡ بِهِۦ مَكَانٗا قَصِيّٗا ٢٢
So she conceived him [Īsā], and she retired with him to a remote place.
19:23
فَأَجَآءَهَا ٱلۡمَخَاضُ إِلَىٰ جِذۡعِ ٱلنَّخۡلَةِ قَالَتۡ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي مِتُّ قَبۡلَ هَٰذَا وَكُنتُ نَسۡيٗا مَّنسِيّٗا ٢٣
And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree. She said [in her anguish]: “Ah! Would that I had died before this! Would that I had been a thing all forgotten.”
19:24
فَنَادَىٰهَا مِن تَحۡتِهَآ أَلَّا تَحۡزَنِي قَدۡ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحۡتَكِ سَرِيّٗا ٢٤
But [a voice] cried to her from beneath [the palm-tree]: “Grieve not! For your Lord has provided a rivulet beneath you;
19:25
وَهُزِّيٓ إِلَيۡكِ بِجِذۡعِ ٱلنَّخۡلَةِ تُسَٰقِطۡ عَلَيۡكِ رُطَبٗا جَنِيّٗا ٢٥
“and shake towards yourself the trunk of the palm-tree: It will let fall fresh ripe dates upon you.
19:26
فَكُلِي وَٱشۡرَبِي وَقَرِّي عَيۡنٗاۖ فَإِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡبَشَرِ أَحَدٗا فَقُولِيٓ إِنِّي نَذَرۡتُ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ صَوۡمٗا فَلَنۡ أُكَلِّمَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ إِنسِيّٗا ٢٦
“So eat and drink and cool [your] eyes. And if you do see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to [Allāh] the Most-Gracious, therefore, this day I will enter into no talk with any human being.’”
19:27
فَأَتَتۡ بِهِۦ قَوۡمَهَا تَحۡمِلُهُۥۖ قَالُواْ يَٰمَرۡيَمُ لَقَدۡ جِئۡتِ شَيۡـٔٗا فَرِيّٗا ٢٧
Then she came with him to her people, holding him [in her arms]. They said: “O Mariyam! Truly, a grave thing have you committed!
19:28
يَٰٓأُخۡتَ هَٰرُونَ مَا كَانَ أَبُوكِ ٱمۡرَأَ سَوۡءٖ وَمَا كَانَتۡ أُمُّكِ بَغِيّٗا ٢٨
“O Sister of Hārūn!Your father was not a man of evil, nor your mother a woman unchaste!”
19:29
فَأَشَارَتۡ إِلَيۡهِۖ قَالُواْ كَيۡفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَن كَانَ فِي ٱلۡمَهۡدِ صَبِيّٗا ٢٩
So she pointed to him [the infant]. They said: “How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?”
19:30
قَالَ إِنِّي عَبۡدُ ٱللَّهِ ءَاتَىٰنِيَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَجَعَلَنِي نَبِيّٗا ٣٠
He said: “I am indeed a servant of Allāh. He has given me the Book and made me a Prophet,
19:31
وَجَعَلَنِي مُبَارَكًا أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُ وَأَوۡصَٰنِي بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ مَا دُمۡتُ حَيّٗا ٣١
“and He has made me blessed wheresoever I be, and has commanded me to pray and [pay] Zakāt as long as I am alive,
19:32
وَبَرَّۢا بِوَٰلِدَتِي وَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡنِي جَبَّارٗا شَقِيّٗا ٣٢
“[He] has made me kind to my mother, and has not made me tyrant, mischievous,
19:33
وَٱلسَّلَٰمُ عَلَيَّ يَوۡمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوۡمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوۡمَ أُبۡعَثُ حَيّٗا ٣٣
“and peace be on me the day I was born, the day I will die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life [again]!”
19:34
ذَٰلِكَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ قَوۡلَ ٱلۡحَقِّ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ يَمۡتَرُونَ ٣٤
Such [was] ‘Īsā, the son of Mariyam. [This is] a statement of truth which they are doubting.
19:35
مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ مِن وَلَدٖۖ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥٓۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمۡرٗا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ ٣٥
It is not befitting to [the majesty of] Allāh that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! When He determines a matter, He only says to it, “Be!” and it is.
19:36
وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكُمۡ فَٱعۡبُدُوهُۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٞ مُّسۡتَقِيمٞ ٣٦
Verily, Allāh is my Lord and your Lord: therefore, worship Him alone. This is a Path that is straight.
19:37
فَٱخۡتَلَفَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِهِمۡۖ فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن مَّشۡهَدِ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٍ ٣٧
But the Sectsdiffered among themselves. So woe to the Rejecters when they will come face to face a difficult Day!
19:38
أَسۡمِعۡ بِهِمۡ وَأَبۡصِرۡ يَوۡمَ يَأۡتُونَنَاۖ لَٰكِنِ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ فِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٖ ٣٨
How sharply will they see and hear, the Day that they will appear before Us! But, today, the wrongdoers are in deviation manifest!
19:39
وَأَنذِرۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡحَسۡرَةِ إِذۡ قُضِيَ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ وَهُمۡ فِي غَفۡلَةٖ وَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٣٩
And warn them of the Day of Lamentationwhen the matter would have [already] been settled while they were heedless and they did not believe.
19:40
إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَرِثُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَنۡ عَلَيۡهَا وَإِلَيۡنَا يُرۡجَعُونَ ٤٠
It is We who will inherit the earth and all beings thereon, and to Us will they all be returned.
19:41
وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صِدِّيقٗا نَّبِيًّا ٤١
And mention in the Book [the story of] Ibrāhīm:He was a man of Truth, a Prophet.
19:42
إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ يَٰٓأَبَتِ لِمَ تَعۡبُدُ مَا لَا يَسۡمَعُ وَلَا يُبۡصِرُ وَلَا يُغۡنِي عَنكَ شَيۡـٔٗا ٤٢
[Remember] when he said to his father: “O My father! Why you worship that which hears not and sees not, and can profit you nothing?
19:43
يَٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّي قَدۡ جَآءَنِي مِنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ مَا لَمۡ يَأۡتِكَ فَٱتَّبِعۡنِيٓ أَهۡدِكَ صِرَٰطٗا سَوِيّٗا ٤٣
“O My father! To me has come knowledge which did not reach you. So, follow me, I will guide you to a Path that is straight.
19:44
يَٰٓأَبَتِ لَا تَعۡبُدِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَۖ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ كَانَ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَصِيّٗا ٤٤
“O My father! Worship not the Shayṭān, for the Shayṭān is a rebel against [Allāh] the Most-Gracious.
19:45
يَٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يَمَسَّكَ عَذَابٞ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ فَتَكُونَ لِلشَّيۡطَٰنِ وَلِيّٗا ٤٥
“O My father! I fear lest a punishment afflict you from [Allāh] the Most-Gracious, so you become a friend of the Shayṭān.”
19:46
قَالَ أَرَاغِبٌ أَنتَ عَنۡ ءَالِهَتِي يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُۖ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ لَأَرۡجُمَنَّكَۖ وَٱهۡجُرۡنِي مَلِيّٗا ٤٦
[His father] replied: “Are you disowning my gods, O Ibrāhīm? If you stop not, I will indeed stone you. Now get away from me for a good long while!”
19:47
قَالَ سَلَٰمٌ عَلَيۡكَۖ سَأَسۡتَغۡفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّيٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِي حَفِيّٗا ٤٧
Ibrāhīm said: “Peace be on you! I will pray to my Lord for your forgiveness: For He is to me most gracious.
19:48
وَأَعۡتَزِلُكُمۡ وَمَا تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَدۡعُواْ رَبِّي عَسَىٰٓ أَلَّآ أَكُونَ بِدُعَآءِ رَبِّي شَقِيّٗا ٤٨
“And I shun you [all] and those whom you invoke instead of Allāh: I will pray to my Lord, and, perhaps, by my prayer to my Lord, I shall not be unfortunate.”
19:49
فَلَمَّا ٱعۡتَزَلَهُمۡ وَمَا يَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥٓ إِسۡحَٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوبَۖ وَكُلّٗا جَعَلۡنَا نَبِيّٗا ٤٩
When he had turned away from them and from those whom they worshipped instead of Allāh, We bestowed on him Isḥāqand Ya‘qūb,and each one of them We made a Prophet.
19:50
وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُم مِّن رَّحۡمَتِنَا وَجَعَلۡنَا لَهُمۡ لِسَانَ صِدۡقٍ عَلِيّٗا ٥٠
And We bestowed of Our Mercy on them, and We granted them lofty tongue of truth.
19:51
وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مُوسَىٰٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مُخۡلَصٗا وَكَانَ رَسُولٗا نَّبِيّٗا ٥١
And [also] mention in the Book [the story of] Mūsā:for he was chosen [and pure] and was a Messenger [and] a Prophet.
19:52
وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ مِن جَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلۡأَيۡمَنِ وَقَرَّبۡنَٰهُ نَجِيّٗا ٥٢
And We called him from the right side of the Mount Ṭūr,and drew him closer to Us, for close conversation.
19:53
وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥ مِن رَّحۡمَتِنَآ أَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ نَبِيّٗا ٥٣
And, out of Our Mercy, We gifted him his brother Hārūn [to support him] as a Prophet.
19:54
وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِسۡمَٰعِيلَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صَادِقَ ٱلۡوَعۡدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولٗا نَّبِيّٗا ٥٤
And mention in the Book [the story of] Ismā‘īl:He was true to what he promised, and he was a Messenger [and] a Prophet.
19:55
وَكَانَ يَأۡمُرُ أَهۡلَهُۥ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ وَكَانَ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦ مَرۡضِيّٗا ٥٥
He used to enjoin his family to pray and [pay] Zakāt and he was approved in the sight of his Lord.
19:56
وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِدۡرِيسَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صِدِّيقٗا نَّبِيّٗا ٥٦
And mention Idrīs (Enoch)in the Book: He was a man of Truth [and] a Prophet,
19:57
وَرَفَعۡنَٰهُ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا ٥٧
and We raised him to a lofty position.
19:58
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ ءَادَمَ وَمِمَّنۡ حَمَلۡنَا مَعَ نُوحٖ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَمِمَّنۡ هَدَيۡنَا وَٱجۡتَبَيۡنَآۚ إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ خَرُّواْۤ سُجَّدٗاۤ وَبُكِيّٗا۩ ٥٨
Those were some of the Prophets on whom Allāh did bestow His Grace, of the posterity of Ādam,and of those whom We carried [in the Ark] with Nūḥ,and of the posterity of Ibrāhīm and Isrā’īl— and of those whom We guided and chose. Whenever the Signs of [Allāh] the Most-Gracious were rehearsed to them, they would fall down in prostration, adoration and in tears.
19:59
فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ خَلۡفٌ أَضَاعُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَٱتَّبَعُواْ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَلۡقَوۡنَ غَيًّا ٥٩
But after them there followed a posterity who missed prayers and followed after lusts. Soon, then, will they face perdition,
19:60
إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يَدۡخُلُونَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظۡلَمُونَ شَيۡـٔٗا ٦٠
except those who repentand believe, and do good deeds: For these will enter Paradise and they will not be wronged in the least.
19:61
جَنَّٰتِ عَدۡنٍ ٱلَّتِي وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ عِبَادَهُۥ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ وَعۡدُهُۥ مَأۡتِيّٗا ٦١
[Theirs will be] Gardens of Eternity, those which [Allāh] the Most-Gracious has promised to His servantsin the Unseen: for His promise must [necessarily] be fulfilled.
19:62
لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوًا إِلَّا سَلَٰمٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ رِزۡقُهُمۡ فِيهَا بُكۡرَةٗ وَعَشِيّٗا ٦٢
There they will not hear any vain discourse, but only [salutations of] “Peace!” And they will have therein their sustenance, morning and evening.
19:63
تِلۡكَ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ ٱلَّتِي نُورِثُ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا مَن كَانَ تَقِيّٗا ٦٣
That is Paradise which We [will] give as an inheritance to those of Our servants who fear [Allāh].
19:64
وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلَّا بِأَمۡرِ رَبِّكَۖ لَهُۥ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِينَا وَمَا خَلۡفَنَا وَمَا بَيۡنَ ذَٰلِكَۚ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيّٗا ٦٤
[The angels say:] “We descend not but by the command of your Lord: To Him belongs what is before us and what is behind us, and what is in between: and your Lord never ever does forget,
19:65
رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فَٱعۡبُدۡهُ وَٱصۡطَبِرۡ لِعِبَٰدَتِهِۦۚ هَلۡ تَعۡلَمُ لَهُۥ سَمِيّٗا ٦٥
“[He is] the Lord of the Heavens and of the earth, and of all that is in between. So worship Him [alone], and be [constant and] patient in His worship. Do you know of any who is worthy of the same name as He?”
19:66
وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَءِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوۡفَ أُخۡرَجُ حَيًّا ٦٦
Man says: “What? When I am dead, shall I then be raised up alive?”
19:67
أَوَلَا يَذۡكُرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰهُ مِن قَبۡلُ وَلَمۡ يَكُ شَيۡـٔٗا ٦٧
But does not Man call to mind that We created him before when he was nothing?
19:68
فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحۡشُرَنَّهُمۡ وَٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ ثُمَّ لَنُحۡضِرَنَّهُمۡ حَوۡلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيّٗا ٦٨
So, by your Lord, without doubt, We shall gather them together, along with the Shayṭāns; then shall We bring them forth on their knees round about Hell;
19:69
ثُمَّ لَنَنزِعَنَّ مِن كُلِّ شِيعَةٍ أَيُّهُمۡ أَشَدُّ عَلَى ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عِتِيّٗا ٦٩
then shall We certainly drag out from every group all those who were most obstinately rebellious against [Allāh] the Most-Gracious.
19:70
ثُمَّ لَنَحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ أَوۡلَىٰ بِهَا صِلِيّٗا ٧٠
And, certainly, We know best those who are most worthy of being burned therein [Hell].
19:71
وَإِن مِّنكُمۡ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَاۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتۡمٗا مَّقۡضِيّٗا ٧١
All of you will pass over it: This is, with your Lord, a decree ordained.
19:72
ثُمَّ نُنَجِّي ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَواْ وَّنَذَرُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ فِيهَا جِثِيّٗا ٧٢
Then We shall save those who feared [Allāh], and We shall leave the wrongdoers therein, sitting on their knees.
19:73
وَإِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُنَا بَيِّنَٰتٖ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَيُّ ٱلۡفَرِيقَيۡنِ خَيۡرٞ مَّقَامٗا وَأَحۡسَنُ نَدِيّٗا ٧٣
When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, the Rejecters say to those who believe: “Which of the two sides [Rejecters and believers] is best in terms of position and fairer in assembly [of men around them].
19:74
وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّن قَرۡنٍ هُمۡ أَحۡسَنُ أَثَٰثٗا وَرِءۡيٗا ٧٤
How many [countless] generations before them have We destroyed, who were even better [than you] in terms of household goods and better in [outward] appearance?
19:75
قُلۡ مَن كَانَ فِي ٱلضَّلَٰلَةِ فَلۡيَمۡدُدۡ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ مَدًّاۚ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَأَوۡاْ مَا يُوعَدُونَ إِمَّا ٱلۡعَذَابَ وَإِمَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ فَسَيَعۡلَمُونَ مَنۡ هُوَ شَرّٞ مَّكَانٗا وَأَضۡعَفُ جُندٗا ٧٥
Say: “Whoever goes astray, [Allāh] the Most-Gracious extends [the rope] to them, until, when they see the warning of Allāh [being fulfilled] — either in punishment or in [the approach of] The Hour— they will then realise who is worst in position, and [who is] weakest in terms of forces!”
19:76
وَيَزِيدُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱهۡتَدَوۡاْ هُدٗىۗ وَٱلۡبَٰقِيَٰتُ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ خَيۡرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابٗا وَخَيۡرٞ مَّرَدًّا ٧٦
“And Allāh does increase in guidance those who seek guidance. And the enduring good [deeds]are best in the sight of your Lord for reward [in the Hereafter] and [are] best in respect of [their] eventual return [recompense].”
19:77
أَفَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي كَفَرَ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَقَالَ لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالٗا وَوَلَدًا ٧٧
Have you then seen the [sort of] the Manwho rejected Our Signs, [yet] said: “I shall certainly be given wealth and children?”
19:78
أَطَّلَعَ ٱلۡغَيۡبَ أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ عِندَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَهۡدٗا ٧٨
Has he peeped into the Unseen, or has he taken a promise with [Allāh] the Most-Gracious?
19:79
كـَلَّاۚ سَنَكۡتُبُ مَا يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ مَدّٗا ٧٩
Nay! We shall record what he says, and We shall add and add to his punishment.
19:80
وَنَرِثُهُۥ مَا يَقُولُ وَيَأۡتِينَا فَرۡدٗا ٨٠
To Us shall return all that he talks of, and he shall reach Us empty-handed.
19:81
وَٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ءَالِهَةٗ لِّيَكُونُواْ لَهُمۡ عِزّٗا ٨١
And they have taken [for worship] gods other than Allāh, to give them power [and glory]!
19:82
كـَلَّاۚ سَيَكۡفُرُونَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمۡ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضِدًّا ٨٢
Nay! They [so-called “gods”] shall reject their worship, and become their adversaries.
19:83
أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمۡ أَزّٗا ٨٣
Have you not seen that We have set satans on the Rejecters, to incite them strongly [in acts of disobedience]?
19:84
فَلَا تَعۡجَلۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡۖ إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمۡ عَدّٗا ٨٤
So make no haste against them, for We are counting out to them a [limited] number [of days].
19:85
يَوۡمَ نَحۡشُرُ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ وَفۡدٗا ٨٥
The day We shall gather the [God‐]fearing to [meet] the Most-Gracious, like an assembly of [honoured] guests.
19:86
وَنَسُوقُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ وِرۡدٗا ٨٦
And We shall drive the sinners to Hell [like thirsty animals] driven down [to water].
19:87
لَّا يَمۡلِكُونَ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةَ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ عِندَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَهۡدٗا ٨٧
They shall have no power of intercession [with Allāh] except such a one who has received [prior] permission from the Most-Gracious.
19:88
وَقَالُواْ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَلَدٗا ٨٨
They said: “The Most-Gracious has betaken a son!”
19:89
لَّقَدۡ جِئۡتُمۡ شَيۡـًٔا إِدّٗا ٨٩
Indeed, you have put forth a thing most grievous,
19:90
تَكَادُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرۡنَ مِنۡهُ وَتَنشَقُّ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَتَخِرُّ ٱلۡجِبَالُ هَدًّا ٩٠
at which the heavens are about to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin,
19:91
أَن دَعَوۡاْ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ وَلَدٗا ٩١
that they attributed a son to the Most-Gracious.
19:92
وَمَا يَنۢبَغِي لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا ٩٢
For it does not behoove [the majesty of] the Most-Gracious that He should beget a son.
19:93
إِن كُلُّ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّآ ءَاتِي ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَبۡدٗا ٩٣
None of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must [eventually] come to the Most-Gracious as a [humble] servant.
19:94
لَّقَدۡ أَحۡصَىٰهُمۡ وَعَدَّهُمۡ عَدّٗا ٩٤
He does take an account of them [all], and has numbered them [all] exactly.
19:95
وَكُلُّهُمۡ ءَاتِيهِ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ فَرۡدًا ٩٥
And every one of them will come to Him all alone [unprotected] on the Day of Resurrection.
19:96
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ سَيَجۡعَلُ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وُدّٗا ٩٦
On those who believed and worked deeds of righteousness will the Most-Gracious bestow [His] love.
19:97
فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرۡنَٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ وَتُنذِرَ بِهِۦ قَوۡمٗا لُّدّٗا ٩٧
So have We made it [the Qur’ān] easy in your own tongue, that with it you may give glad tidings to the [God‐]fearing, and warn with it people given to [violent] altercation.
19:98
وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّن قَرۡنٍ هَلۡ تُحِسُّ مِنۡهُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ أَوۡ تَسۡمَعُ لَهُمۡ رِكۡزَۢا ٩٨
How many [countless] generations before them have We destroyed? Can you find a single one of them [now] or hear [so much as] a whisper of them?
سُورَةُ طه20. Ṭā-hā
20:1
طه ١
Ṭā-Hā.
20:2
مَآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِتَشۡقَىٰٓ ٢
We have not sent down the Qur’ān to you to be [a means] of your misery,
20:3
إِلَّا تَذۡكِرَةٗ لِّمَن يَخۡشَىٰ ٣
but only as an admonition to those who fear [Allāh],
20:4
تَنزِيلٗا مِّمَّنۡ خَلَقَ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ ٱلۡعُلَى ٤
a revelation from Him who created the earth and the high heavens.
20:5
ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ ٥
The Most-Gracious is established on the Throne.
20:6
لَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا وَمَا تَحۡتَ ٱلثَّرَىٰ ٦
To Him belongs what is in the heavens and on earth, and all between them, and all that is beneath the earth.
20:7
وَإِن تَجۡهَرۡ بِٱلۡقَوۡلِ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلسِّرَّ وَأَخۡفَى ٧
If you speak aloud [it is no matter]: for, verily, He [Allāh] knows what is secret and what is even more hidden.
20:8
ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ لَهُ ٱلۡأَسۡمَآءُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ٨
Allāh! There is no god but He! To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names.
20:9
وَهَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ ٩
And did the story of Mūsāreach you?
20:10
إِذۡ رَءَا نَارٗا فَقَالَ لِأَهۡلِهِ ٱمۡكُثُوٓاْ إِنِّيٓ ءَانَسۡتُ نَارٗا لَّعَلِّيٓ ءَاتِيكُم مِّنۡهَا بِقَبَسٍ أَوۡ أَجِدُ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ هُدٗى ١٠
Behold, he saw a fire. So he said to his family: “Stay you [here]; I perceive a fire [at a distance]; perhaps I can bring you a piece [of fire] therefrom, or find some guidance at the [place of the] fire.”
20:11
فَلَمَّآ أَتَىٰهَا نُودِيَ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ ١١
But when he came to it [the fire], he was called: “O Mūsā!
20:12
إِنِّيٓ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكَ فَٱخۡلَعۡ نَعۡلَيۡكَۖ إِنَّكَ بِٱلۡوَادِ ٱلۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوٗى ١٢
“Verily, I am your Lord! Therefore, take off your shoes: you are in the sacred valley of Ṭuwā.
20:13
وَأَنَا ٱخۡتَرۡتُكَ فَٱسۡتَمِعۡ لِمَا يُوحَىٰٓ ١٣
“I have chosen you: So listen [carefully] to what is being revealed to you.
20:14
إِنَّنِيٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعۡبُدۡنِي وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ لِذِكۡرِيٓ ١٤
“Verily, I am the God: There is no god but I: So worship Me [alone], and establish [regular] Prayer for My remembrance.
20:15
إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخۡفِيهَا لِتُجۡزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسِۭ بِمَا تَسۡعَىٰ ١٥
“Verily, the Houris coming, I have almost kept it hidden — so that every soul is rewarded by the measure of its endeavour.
20:16
فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنۡهَا مَن لَّا يُؤۡمِنُ بِهَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ فَتَرۡدَىٰ ١٦
“Therefore, let not the one who disbelieves therein and follows his [own] whims, divert you therefrom, leading you to perish!
20:17
وَمَا تِلۡكَ بِيَمِينِكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ ١٧
“And what is that in your right hand, O Mūsā?”
20:18
قَالَ هِيَ عَصَايَ أَتَوَكَّؤُاْ عَلَيۡهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَىٰ غَنَمِي وَلِيَ فِيهَا مَـَٔارِبُ أُخۡرَىٰ ١٨
He said, “It is my rod: on it I lean; with it I beat down fodder for my flock; and in it I find other uses.”
20:19
قَالَ أَلۡقِهَا يَٰمُوسَىٰ ١٩
[Allāh] said, “Throw it, O Mūsā!”
20:20
فَأَلۡقَىٰهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ حَيَّةٞ تَسۡعَىٰ ٢٠
He threw it, and behold! It was a snake, running.
20:21
قَالَ خُذۡهَا وَلَا تَخَفۡۖ سَنُعِيدُهَا سِيرَتَهَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ ٢١
[Allāh] said, “Seize it, and fear not: We shall return it to its former condition!
20:22
وَٱضۡمُمۡ يَدَكَ إِلَىٰ جَنَاحِكَ تَخۡرُجۡ بَيۡضَآءَ مِنۡ غَيۡرِ سُوٓءٍ ءَايَةً أُخۡرَىٰ ٢٢
“[Now] draw your hand close to your side: It shall come out white [and shining] without stain, [and this is] another Sign,
20:23
لِنُرِيَكَ مِنۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا ٱلۡكُبۡرَى ٢٣
“[This is] in order that We may show you of Our Greatest Signs.
20:24
ٱذۡهَبۡ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ٢٤
“Go you to the Pharaoh,for he has indeed transgressed [all limits].”
20:25
قَالَ رَبِّ ٱشۡرَحۡ لِي صَدۡرِي ٢٥
[Mūsā] said: “O My Lord! Dilate my bosom;
20:26
وَيَسِّرۡ لِيٓ أَمۡرِي ٢٦
“and ease my task for me;
20:27
وَٱحۡلُلۡ عُقۡدَةٗ مِّن لِّسَانِي ٢٧
“And remove the knot from my tongue,
20:28
يَفۡقَهُواْ قَوۡلِي ٢٨
“so that they may understand what I say:
20:29
وَٱجۡعَل لِّي وَزِيرٗا مِّنۡ أَهۡلِي ٢٩
“And give me a supporter from my family,
20:30
هَٰرُونَ أَخِي ٣٠
“Hārūn,my brother;
20:31
ٱشۡدُدۡ بِهِۦٓ أَزۡرِي ٣١
“Strengthen me through him,
20:32
وَأَشۡرِكۡهُ فِيٓ أَمۡرِي ٣٢
“And make him share my task:
20:33
كَيۡ نُسَبِّحَكَ كَثِيرٗا ٣٣
“So that we may abundantly glorify You,
20:34
وَنَذۡكُرَكَ كَثِيرًا ٣٤
“And abundantly remember You:
20:35
إِنَّكَ كُنتَ بِنَا بَصِيرٗا ٣٥
“For You are All-Seeing us.”
20:36
قَالَ قَدۡ أُوتِيتَ سُؤۡلَكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ ٣٦
[Allāh] said: “Granted is your petition, O Mūsā!
20:37
وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَيۡكَ مَرَّةً أُخۡرَىٰٓ ٣٧
“And, indeed, We conferred a favour on you a second time.
20:38
إِذۡ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ ٣٨
“[Remember] when We inspired your mother the message:
20:39
أَنِ ٱقۡذِفِيهِ فِي ٱلتَّابُوتِ فَٱقۡذِفِيهِ فِي ٱلۡيَمِّ فَلۡيُلۡقِهِ ٱلۡيَمُّ بِٱلسَّاحِلِ يَأۡخُذۡهُ عَدُوّٞ لِّي وَعَدُوّٞ لَّهُۥۚ وَأَلۡقَيۡتُ عَلَيۡكَ مَحَبَّةٗ مِّنِّي وَلِتُصۡنَعَ عَلَىٰ عَيۡنِيٓ ٣٩
“‘Throw him [the child] into the chest, and then throw [the chest] into the river. The river will cast him up on the bank, and he will be taken up by one who is an enemy to Me and an enemy to him’. And I endowed you with love from Me: And [this] in order that you may be reared under My eye.
20:40
إِذۡ تَمۡشِيٓ أُخۡتُكَ فَتَقُولُ هَلۡ أَدُلُّكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن يَكۡفُلُهُۥۖ فَرَجَعۡنَٰكَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ كَيۡ تَقَرَّ عَيۡنُهَا وَلَا تَحۡزَنَۚ وَقَتَلۡتَ نَفۡسٗا فَنَجَّيۡنَٰكَ مِنَ ٱلۡغَمِّ وَفَتَنَّٰكَ فُتُونٗاۚ فَلَبِثۡتَ سِنِينَ فِيٓ أَهۡلِ مَدۡيَنَ ثُمَّ جِئۡتَ عَلَىٰ قَدَرٖ يَٰمُوسَىٰ ٤٠
“[Remember] when your sister walked forth and said, ‘Shall I show you one who will nurse and rear the [child]?’ Thus We brought you back to your mother, so that her eye might be cooled and she should not grieve. Then you killed a man, but We saved you from grief, and We tried You in various ways. Then did you spend a number of years with the people of Madyan.And [only] then did you come [here] as ordained,O Mūsā!
20:41
وَٱصۡطَنَعۡتُكَ لِنَفۡسِي ٤١
“And I have chosen you for Myself.
20:42
ٱذۡهَبۡ أَنتَ وَأَخُوكَ بِـَٔايَٰتِي وَلَا تَنِيَا فِي ذِكۡرِي ٤٢
“Go, you and your brother, with My Signs, and slacken not, either of you, in keeping Me in remembrance.
20:43
ٱذۡهَبَآ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ٤٣
“Go, both of you, to the Pharaoh,for he has indeed transgressed [all limits];
20:44
فَقُولَا لَهُۥ قَوۡلٗا لَّيِّنٗا لَّعَلَّهُۥ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوۡ يَخۡشَىٰ ٤٤
“And speak to him mildly, by chance he may take warning or fear [Allāh].”
20:45
قَالَا رَبَّنَآ إِنَّنَا نَخَافُ أَن يَفۡرُطَ عَلَيۡنَآ أَوۡ أَن يَطۡغَىٰ ٤٥
They [Mūsā and Hārūn] said: “Our Lord! We fear lest he may hasten to punish us, or lest he violate [all bounds].”
20:46
قَالَ لَا تَخَافَآۖ إِنَّنِي مَعَكُمَآ أَسۡمَعُ وَأَرَىٰ ٤٦
He [Allāh] said: “Fear not the two of you: for I am with you: I hear and see [everything].
20:47
فَأۡتِيَاهُ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولَا رَبِّكَ فَأَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَلَا تُعَذِّبۡهُمۡۖ قَدۡ جِئۡنَٰكَ بِـَٔايَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّكَۖ وَٱلسَّلَٰمُ عَلَىٰ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ ٤٧
“So go you both to him [Pharaoh], and say, ‘Verily, we are Messengers sent by your Lord: Send forth, therefore, the Children of Isrā’īl with us, and punish them not. With a Sign, indeed, have we come from your Lord! And peace be on the one who follows guidance!
20:48
إِنَّا قَدۡ أُوحِيَ إِلَيۡنَآ أَنَّ ٱلۡعَذَابَ عَلَىٰ مَن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ٤٨
“‘Verily, it has been revealed to us that the punishment[awaits] those who disbelieve [this Message] and turn away.’”
20:49
قَالَ فَمَن رَّبُّكُمَا يَٰمُوسَىٰ ٤٩
[When this message was delivered, the Pharaoh] said: “Who then, O Mūsā, is the Lord of the two of you?”
20:50
قَالَ رَبُّنَا ٱلَّذِيٓ أَعۡطَىٰ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ خَلۡقَهُۥ ثُمَّ هَدَىٰ ٥٠
He [Mūsā] said: “Our Lord is He who gave to each [created] thing its form and then guided [it].”
20:51
قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ ٱلۡقُرُونِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ ٥١
[The Pharaoh] said: “What then is the condition of the previous generations?”
20:52
قَالَ عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّي فِي كِتَٰبٖۖ لَّا يَضِلُّ رَبِّي وَلَا يَنسَى ٥٢
He [Mūsā] replied: “The knowledge of that is with my Lord, duly recorded in a Book: my Lord never errs, nor He forgets.
20:53
ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَهۡدٗا وَسَلَكَ لَكُمۡ فِيهَا سُبُلٗا وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزۡوَٰجٗا مِّن نَّبَاتٖ شَتَّىٰ ٥٣
“He is the One who has made for you the earth as an expanse [cradle]; has paved for you ways [and channels] in it; and has sent down water from the sky.” With it have We produced diverse pairs of plants.
20:54
كُلُواْ وَٱرۡعَوۡاْ أَنۡعَٰمَكُمۡۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّأُوْلِي ٱلنُّهَىٰ ٥٤
Eat [for yourselves] and pasture your cattle. Verily, in this are Signs for men endowed with understanding.
20:55
مِنۡهَا خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمۡ وَمِنۡهَا نُخۡرِجُكُمۡ تَارَةً أُخۡرَىٰ ٥٥
From the [earth] did We create you, and into it shall We return you,and from it shall We bring you out once again.
20:56
وَلَقَدۡ أَرَيۡنَٰهُ ءَايَٰتِنَا كُلَّهَا فَكَذَّبَ وَأَبَىٰ ٥٦
And We showed him [the Pharaoh] all Our Signs, but he disbelieved and refrained.
20:57
قَالَ أَجِئۡتَنَا لِتُخۡرِجَنَا مِنۡ أَرۡضِنَا بِسِحۡرِكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ ٥٧
He said: “Have you come to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Mūsā?
20:58
فَلَنَأۡتِيَنَّكَ بِسِحۡرٖ مِّثۡلِهِۦ فَٱجۡعَلۡ بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَكَ مَوۡعِدٗا لَّا نُخۡلِفُهُۥ نَحۡنُ وَلَآ أَنتَ مَكَانٗا سُوٗى ٥٨
“So, we will surely produce magic similar to yours! Hence, make a tryst between us and yourself, which we shall not fail to keep, neither we nor you, in a place where both shall have equitable chance.”
20:59
قَالَ مَوۡعِدُكُمۡ يَوۡمُ ٱلزِّينَةِ وَأَن يُحۡشَرَ ٱلنَّاسُ ضُحٗى ٥٩
He [Mūsā] said: “Your tryst is the Day of the Festival, and let the people be assembled after sunrise.”
20:60
فَتَوَلَّىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فَجَمَعَ كَيۡدَهُۥ ثُمَّ أَتَىٰ ٦٠
So the Pharaoh retreated. He concerted his plan, and then came [back].
20:61
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰ وَيۡلَكُمۡ لَا تَفۡتَرُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبٗا فَيُسۡحِتَكُم بِعَذَابٖۖ وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ ٦١
Mūsā said to them [magicians]: “Woe to you! Forge you not a lie against Allāh, lest He annihilate you [at once] by punishment. The forger surely suffers failure.”
20:62
فَتَنَٰزَعُوٓاْ أَمۡرَهُم بَيۡنَهُمۡ وَأَسَرُّواْ ٱلنَّجۡوَىٰ ٦٢
So they disputed, one with another, over their affair, and they held secret parleys.
20:63
قَالُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَٰنِ لَسَٰحِرَٰنِ يُرِيدَانِ أَن يُخۡرِجَاكُم مِّنۡ أَرۡضِكُم بِسِحۡرِهِمَا وَيَذۡهَبَا بِطَرِيقَتِكُمُ ٱلۡمُثۡلَىٰ ٦٣
They said: “These two are certainly [expert] magicians. Their object is to drive you out from your land with their magic, and to do away with your ideal way.
20:64
فَأَجۡمِعُواْ كَيۡدَكُمۡ ثُمَّ ٱئۡتُواْ صَفّٗاۚ وَقَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ مَنِ ٱسۡتَعۡلَىٰ ٦٤
“Therefore, concert your plan, and then assemble in a single rank. He succeeds today who gains the upper hand.”
20:65
قَالُواْ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِمَّآ أَن تُلۡقِيَ وَإِمَّآ أَن نَّكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنۡ أَلۡقَىٰ ٦٥
They said: “O Mūsā! Will you throw [first] or should we be the first to throw?”
20:66
قَالَ بَلۡ أَلۡقُواْۖ فَإِذَا حِبَالُهُمۡ وَعِصِيُّهُمۡ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيۡهِ مِن سِحۡرِهِمۡ أَنَّهَا تَسۡعَىٰ ٦٦
He said, “Nay, throw you first!” Then, behold, their ropes and their sticks, so it seemed to him on account of their magic, are running [around]!
20:67
فَأَوۡجَسَ فِي نَفۡسِهِۦ خِيفَةٗ مُّوسَىٰ ٦٧
So Mūsā felt fearful in his mind.
20:68
قُلۡنَا لَا تَخَفۡ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ ٦٨
We said [O Mūsā]: “Fear not! For you have indeed the upper hand,
20:69
وَأَلۡقِ مَا فِي يَمِينِكَ تَلۡقَفۡ مَا صَنَعُوٓاْۖ إِنَّمَا صَنَعُواْ كَيۡدُ سَٰحِرٖۖ وَلَا يُفۡلِحُ ٱلسَّاحِرُ حَيۡثُ أَتَىٰ ٦٩
“and throw that which is in your right hand. It will swallow up that which they have faked. What they have faked is but a magician’s trick, and the magician succeeds not in his endeavour.”
20:70
فَأُلۡقِيَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سُجَّدٗا قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ هَٰرُونَ وَمُوسَىٰ ٧٠
So the magicians threw [themselves] down in prostration. They said, “We believe in the Lord of Hārūn and Mūsā.”
20:71
قَالَ ءَامَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ قَبۡلَ أَنۡ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحۡرَۖ فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَٰفٖ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ فِي جُذُوعِ ٱلنَّخۡلِ وَلَتَعۡلَمُنَّ أَيُّنَآ أَشَدُّ عَذَابٗا وَأَبۡقَىٰ ٧١
He [the Pharaoh] said: “Did you believe in Him before I give you permission? Surely this must be your leader who has taught you magic! Be sure I will cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will have you crucified on trunks of palm-trees. So shall you know for certain, which of us can give the more severe and the more lasting punishment!”
20:72
قَالُواْ لَن نُّؤۡثِرَكَ عَلَىٰ مَا جَآءَنَا مِنَ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَٱلَّذِي فَطَرَنَاۖ فَٱقۡضِ مَآ أَنتَ قَاضٍۖ إِنَّمَا تَقۡضِي هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَآ ٧٢
They said: “Never shall we prefer you to what has come to us of the Clear Signs and of Him who created us! So decree whatever you desire to decree: for you can only decree [in matters related to] the life in this world.
20:73
إِنَّآ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِيَغۡفِرَ لَنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَا وَمَآ أَكۡرَهۡتَنَا عَلَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلسِّحۡرِۗ وَٱللَّهُ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ ٧٣
“For us, we have believed in our Lord: May He forgive us our sins and the magic to which you did compel us: For Allāh is Best and Most-Enduring.”
20:74
إِنَّهُۥ مَن يَأۡتِ رَبَّهُۥ مُجۡرِمٗا فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحۡيَىٰ ٧٤
Verily, he who comes to his Lord as a sinner, for him is Hell: therein shall he neither die nor live.
20:75
وَمَن يَأۡتِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنٗا قَدۡ عَمِلَ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱلدَّرَجَٰتُ ٱلۡعُلَىٰ ٧٥
But he who comes to Him [Allāh] as a believer, who has worked righteous deeds — for such are ranks exalted,
20:76
جَنَّٰتُ عَدۡنٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۚ وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ٧٦
[For them are] Gardens of Eternity, beneath which flow rivers: They will dwell therein forever: such is the reward of those who purify themselves [from evil].
20:77
وَلَقَدۡ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِي فَٱضۡرِبۡ لَهُمۡ طَرِيقٗا فِي ٱلۡبَحۡرِ يَبَسٗا لَّا تَخَٰفُ دَرَكٗا وَلَا تَخۡشَىٰ ٧٧
We revealed to Mūsā: “Travel by night with My servants,and strike a dry path for them through the sea, without fear of being overtaken [by the Pharaoh] and without any [other] fear.”
20:78
فَأَتۡبَعَهُمۡ فِرۡعَوۡنُ بِجُنُودِهِۦ فَغَشِيَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡيَمِّ مَا غَشِيَهُمۡ ٧٨
So the Pharaoh pursued them with his forces, but the sea completely overwhelmed them and covered them up.
20:79
وَأَضَلَّ فِرۡعَوۡنُ قَوۡمَهُۥ وَمَا هَدَىٰ ٧٩
The Pharaoh led his people astray; he did not lead them aright.
20:80
يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ قَدۡ أَنجَيۡنَٰكُم مِّنۡ عَدُوِّكُمۡ وَوَٰعَدۡنَٰكُمۡ جَانِبَ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلۡأَيۡمَنَ وَنَزَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلۡوَىٰ ٨٠
“O You Children of Isrā’īl! We delivered you from your enemy, and We [mutually] appointed a time and place [to meet you] on the right side of the Ṭūr [Mountain],and We sent down to you manna and quails:
20:81
كُلُواْ مِن طَيِّبَٰتِ مَا رَزَقۡنَٰكُمۡ وَلَا تَطۡغَوۡاْ فِيهِ فَيَحِلَّ عَلَيۡكُمۡ غَضَبِيۖ وَمَن يَحۡلِلۡ عَلَيۡهِ غَضَبِي فَقَدۡ هَوَىٰ ٨١
“Eat of the wholesome things We have provided for your sustenance, and commit no excess therein, lest My Wrath should descend on you: and on whoever descends My Wrath does fall down indeed!
20:82
وَإِنِّي لَغَفَّارٞ لِّمَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا ثُمَّ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ ٨٢
“Verily, I am the One who ever forgives those who repent, believe, and do right, who are on [true] guidance.”
20:83
وَمَآ أَعۡجَلَكَ عَن قَوۡمِكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ ٨٣
[When Mūsā was up on the Mount, Allāh said:] “What made you hasten in advance of your people, O Mūsā?”
20:84
قَالَ هُمۡ أُوْلَآءِ عَلَىٰٓ أَثَرِي وَعَجِلۡتُ إِلَيۡكَ رَبِّ لِتَرۡضَىٰ ٨٤
He replied: “They are close on my footsteps: I hastened to You, O My Lord, so that You may be pleased [with me].”
20:85
قَالَ فَإِنَّا قَدۡ فَتَنَّا قَوۡمَكَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِكَ وَأَضَلَّهُمُ ٱلسَّامِرِيُّ ٨٥
[Allāh] said: “We have tested your people in your absence: The Sāmirīhas led them astray.”
20:86
فَرَجَعَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ غَضۡبَٰنَ أَسِفٗاۚ قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ أَلَمۡ يَعِدۡكُمۡ رَبُّكُمۡ وَعۡدًا حَسَنًاۚ أَفَطَالَ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡعَهۡدُ أَمۡ أَرَدتُّمۡ أَن يَحِلَّ عَلَيۡكُمۡ غَضَبٞ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ فَأَخۡلَفۡتُم مَّوۡعِدِي ٨٦
So Mūsā returned to his people in a state of anger and sorrow. He said: “O My people! Did not your Lord make a good promise to you? Did you then feel my absence was too long?Or did you desire that the Wrath of your Lord should descend on you, and so you broke your pledge to me?”
20:87
قَالُواْ مَآ أَخۡلَفۡنَا مَوۡعِدَكَ بِمَلۡكِنَا وَلَٰكِنَّا حُمِّلۡنَآ أَوۡزَارٗا مِّن زِينَةِ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ فَقَذَفۡنَٰهَا فَكَذَٰلِكَ أَلۡقَى ٱلسَّامِرِيُّ ٨٧
They said: “We broke not the pledge to you, as far as lay in our power: but we were made to carry the weight of the ornaments of the people, so we threw them [into the fire], and so did the Sāmirī.
20:88
فَأَخۡرَجَ لَهُمۡ عِجۡلٗا جَسَدٗا لَّهُۥ خُوَارٞ فَقَالُواْ هَٰذَآ إِلَٰهُكُمۡ وَإِلَٰهُ مُوسَىٰ فَنَسِيَ ٨٨
“Then he brought out [of the fire] before the [people] the body of a calfwhich bellowed. So they said: This is your god, and the god of Mūsā, but he [Mūsā] has forgotten!”
20:89
أَفَلَا يَرَوۡنَ أَلَّا يَرۡجِعُ إِلَيۡهِمۡ قَوۡلٗا وَلَا يَمۡلِكُ لَهُمۡ ضَرّٗا وَلَا نَفۡعٗا ٨٩
Could they not see that it [the calf] could not return them a word [for answer], and that it had no power either to harm them or to do them good?
20:90
وَلَقَدۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ هَٰرُونُ مِن قَبۡلُ يَٰقَوۡمِ إِنَّمَا فُتِنتُم بِهِۦۖ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ فَٱتَّبِعُونِي وَأَطِيعُوٓاْ أَمۡرِي ٩٠
Before this, Hārūn had [already] said to them: “O My people! You are being tested in this. Verily, your Lord is [Allāh] the Most-Gracious: So follow me and obey my command.”
20:91
قَالُواْ لَن نَّبۡرَحَ عَلَيۡهِ عَٰكِفِينَ حَتَّىٰ يَرۡجِعَ إِلَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ ٩١
They had said: “We will continue to devote ourselves to it until Mūsā returns to us.”
20:92
قَالَ يَٰهَٰرُونُ مَا مَنَعَكَ إِذۡ رَأَيۡتَهُمۡ ضَلُّوٓاْ ٩٢
[Mūsā] said: “O Hārūn! What kept you back when you saw them going astray,
20:93
أَلَّا تَتَّبِعَنِۖ أَفَعَصَيۡتَ أَمۡرِي ٩٣
“from following me? Did you then disobey my order?”
20:94
قَالَ يَبۡنَؤُمَّ لَا تَأۡخُذۡ بِلِحۡيَتِي وَلَا بِرَأۡسِيٓۖ إِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَن تَقُولَ فَرَّقۡتَ بَيۡنَ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَلَمۡ تَرۡقُبۡ قَوۡلِي ٩٤
[Hārūn] replied: “O Son of my mother! Seize [me] not by my beard nor by [the hair of] my head! Truly, I feared lest you should say: ‘You have caused a division among the Children of Isrā’īl, and you did not observe my word!’”
20:95
قَالَ فَمَا خَطۡبُكَ يَٰسَٰمِرِيُّ ٩٥
[Mūsā] said: “What then is your case, O Sāmirī?”
20:96
قَالَ بَصُرۡتُ بِمَا لَمۡ يَبۡصُرُواْ بِهِۦ فَقَبَضۡتُ قَبۡضَةٗ مِّنۡ أَثَرِ ٱلرَّسُولِ فَنَبَذۡتُهَا وَكَذَٰلِكَ سَوَّلَتۡ لِي نَفۡسِي ٩٦
He replied: “I saw what they failed to see: so I took a handful [of dust] from the footprint of the Messenger,and threw it [into the calf]: Thus did my soul embellished [commanded] to me.”
20:97
قَالَ فَٱذۡهَبۡ فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ أَن تَقُولَ لَا مِسَاسَۖ وَإِنَّ لَكَ مَوۡعِدٗا لَّن تُخۡلَفَهُۥۖ وَٱنظُرۡ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَٰهِكَ ٱلَّذِي ظَلۡتَ عَلَيۡهِ عَاكِفٗاۖ لَّنُحَرِّقَنَّهُۥ ثُمَّ لَنَنسِفَنَّهُۥ فِي ٱلۡيَمِّ نَسۡفًا ٩٧
[Mūsā] said: “Get you gone! But your [punishment] in this life will be that you will say, ‘Touch me not;’ and, moreover [for a future penalty] you have a promise that you will not be failed. Now look at your god, of whom you have become a devotee: We will certainly burn it in a blazing Fire and then utterly scatter it over the sea!”
20:98
إِنَّمَآ إِلَٰهُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ عِلۡمٗا ٩٨
Verily, your God is Allāh: there is no god but He. His knowledge embraces all things.
20:99
كَذَٰلِكَ نَقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ مِنۡ أَنۢبَآءِ مَا قَدۡ سَبَقَۚ وَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَٰكَ مِن لَّدُنَّا ذِكۡرٗا ٩٩
Thus do We relate to you [O Prophet] some stories of what happened earlier: for We have sent you a reminder from Us.
20:100
مَّنۡ أَعۡرَضَ عَنۡهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَحۡمِلُ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وِزۡرًا ١٠٠
Whoever turns away from it, verily, he will bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection;
20:101
خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهِۖ وَسَآءَ لَهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ حِمۡلٗا ١٠١
They will abide in that [state] forever, and grievous will be their burden on the Day of Resurrection,
20:102
يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِۚ وَنَحۡشُرُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ يَوۡمَئِذٖ زُرۡقٗا ١٠٢
the Day the Trumpet will be blown: that Day, We shall gather the sinners,blue-eyed[with terror].
20:103
يَتَخَٰفَتُونَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ إِن لَّبِثۡتُمۡ إِلَّا عَشۡرٗا ١٠٣
In whispers will they tell each other: “You spent not longer than ten [days];
20:104
نَّحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذۡ يَقُولُ أَمۡثَلُهُمۡ طَرِيقَةً إِن لَّبِثۡتُمۡ إِلَّا يَوۡمٗا ١٠٤
We know best what they say, when the best of them in judgement would say: “You spent only one day!”
20:105
وَيَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلۡجِبَالِ فَقُلۡ يَنسِفُهَا رَبِّي نَسۡفٗا ١٠٥
They ask you about the mountains: say, “My Lord will utterly scatter them [as dust, on the Day of Resurrection];
20:106
فَيَذَرُهَا قَاعٗا صَفۡصَفٗا ١٠٦
“He will leave them as plains, smooth and level;
20:107
لَّا تَرَىٰ فِيهَا عِوَجٗا وَلَآ أَمۡتٗا ١٠٧
“Nothing crooked or uneven will you see in them.”
20:108
يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلدَّاعِيَ لَا عِوَجَ لَهُۥۖ وَخَشَعَتِ ٱلۡأَصۡوَاتُ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ فَلَا تَسۡمَعُ إِلَّا هَمۡسٗا ١٠٨
On that Day, they will follow the caller [straight]: no crookedness in him: and all voices will be hushed [in the presence of] the Most-Gracious, so that you will hear nothing but whispers.
20:109
يَوۡمَئِذٖ لَّا تَنفَعُ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةُ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَرَضِيَ لَهُۥ قَوۡلٗا ١٠٩
On that Day, shall no intercession avail except for those for whom permission has been granted by the Most-Gracious and whose word He approves.
20:110
يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِهِۦ عِلۡمٗا ١١٠
He knows what is before them or behind them: but they comprehend Him not.
20:111
وَعَنَتِ ٱلۡوُجُوهُ لِلۡحَيِّ ٱلۡقَيُّومِۖ وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَنۡ حَمَلَ ظُلۡمٗا ١١١
[All] faces [of the arrogant] shall be humbled before the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsisting.Failed indeed will be one who carries [the burden of] wrongdoing [on his back].
20:112
وَمَن يَعۡمَلۡ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٞ فَلَا يَخَافُ ظُلۡمٗا وَلَا هَضۡمٗا ١١٢
[But] he who works deeds of righteousness, and has faith [in Allāh], will have no fear of wrong [being done to him] nor of any curtailment [of what is his due].
20:113
وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ قُرۡءَانًا عَرَبِيّٗا وَصَرَّفۡنَا فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلۡوَعِيدِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَّقُونَ أَوۡ يُحۡدِثُ لَهُمۡ ذِكۡرٗا ١١٣
Thus have We sent this down as an Arabic Qur’ān, and explained therein in detail some of the warnings, in order that they may fear [Allāh], or that it may cause them to remember [Him].
20:114
فَتَعَٰلَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمَلِكُ ٱلۡحَقُّۗ وَلَا تَعۡجَلۡ بِٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن يُقۡضَىٰٓ إِلَيۡكَ وَحۡيُهُۥۖ وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدۡنِي عِلۡمٗا ١١٤
Exalted above all is Allāh, The King [of the Kings],The Truth![O Prophet] be not in haste with the Qur’ānbefore its revelation to you is completed, but say, “O My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.”
20:115
وَلَقَدۡ عَهِدۡنَآ إِلَىٰٓ ءَادَمَ مِن قَبۡلُ فَنَسِيَ وَلَمۡ نَجِدۡ لَهُۥ عَزۡمٗا ١١٥
Earlier, We had taken the covenant of Ādam,but he forgot: and We found on his part no firm resolve.
20:116
وَإِذۡ قُلۡنَا لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسۡجُدُواْ لِأٓدَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓاْ إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ أَبَىٰ ١١٦
And [remember] when We said to the angels, “Prostrate yourselves before Ādam.” They [all] prostrated, but not Iblīs:he declined.
20:117
فَقُلۡنَا يَٰٓـَٔادَمُ إِنَّ هَٰذَا عَدُوّٞ لَّكَ وَلِزَوۡجِكَ فَلَا يُخۡرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ فَتَشۡقَىٰٓ ١١٧
So We said: “O Ādam! Verily, this [Shayṭān] is an enemy to you and your wife: Let him not throw you both out of Paradise, so that you face misery.
20:118
إِنَّ لَكَ أَلَّا تَجُوعَ فِيهَا وَلَا تَعۡرَىٰ ١١٨
“Therein [Paradise] is [enough provision] for you not to go hungry, nor to go naked,
20:119
وَأَنَّكَ لَا تَظۡمَؤُاْ فِيهَا وَلَا تَضۡحَىٰ ١١٩
“Nor will you suffer from thirst, nor will you be smitten by Sun’s heat.”
20:120
فَوَسۡوَسَ إِلَيۡهِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ قَالَ يَٰٓـَٔادَمُ هَلۡ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَىٰ شَجَرَةِ ٱلۡخُلۡدِ وَمُلۡكٖ لَّا يَبۡلَىٰ ١٢٠
But the Shayṭān whispered to him. He said, “O Ādam! Shall I lead you to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that never decays?”
20:121
فَأَكَلَا مِنۡهَا فَبَدَتۡ لَهُمَا سَوۡءَٰتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخۡصِفَانِ عَلَيۡهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ ٱلۡجَنَّةِۚ وَعَصَىٰٓ ءَادَمُ رَبَّهُۥ فَغَوَىٰ ١٢١
So, they both [Ādam and his wife] ate of the tree, and so their nakedness appeared to them: they began to stick together the leaves of Paradise [trees] on their bodies. So Ādam disobeyed his Lord and fell into deviation.
20:122
ثُمَّ ٱجۡتَبَٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَتَابَ عَلَيۡهِ وَهَدَىٰ ١٢٢
Thereafter, his Lord chose him [for His Grace], turned to him [forgave him], and guided [him].
20:123
قَالَ ٱهۡبِطَا مِنۡهَا جَمِيعَۢاۖ بَعۡضُكُمۡ لِبَعۡضٍ عَدُوّٞۖ فَإِمَّا يَأۡتِيَنَّكُم مِّنِّي هُدٗى فَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ هُدَايَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشۡقَىٰ ١٢٣
He said: “Get you down, both of you, all together, from it [Paradise], with enmity one to another: but if, as is sure, there comes to you Guidance from Me, whosoever follows My Guidance, will not lose his way, nor will he fall into misery.
20:124
وَمَنۡ أَعۡرَضَ عَن ذِكۡرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ مَعِيشَةٗ ضَنكٗا وَنَحۡشُرُهُۥ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ أَعۡمَىٰ ١٢٤
“But whosoever turns away from My Message, verily for him will be a life miserable, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection.”
20:125
قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرۡتَنِيٓ أَعۡمَىٰ وَقَدۡ كُنتُ بَصِيرٗا ١٢٥
He will say: “O My Lord! Why have you raised me up blind, while I had sight [before]?”
20:126
قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ أَتَتۡكَ ءَايَٰتُنَا فَنَسِيتَهَاۖ وَكَذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ تُنسَىٰ ١٢٦
[Allāh] will say: “Thus did you, when Our Signs came to you, forgot them: so will you, this day, be forgotten.”
20:127
وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي مَنۡ أَسۡرَفَ وَلَمۡ يُؤۡمِنۢ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِۦۚ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَشَدُّ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ ١٢٧
And thus do We punish one who transgresses beyond bounds and who believes not in the Sings of his Lord: and the Punishment of the Hereafter is greater hardship, more enduring.
20:128
أَفَلَمۡ يَهۡدِ لَهُمۡ كَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقُرُونِ يَمۡشُونَ فِي مَسَٰكِنِهِمۡۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّأُوْلِي ٱلنُّهَىٰ ١٢٨
Is it not a guidance to such [people to call to mind] how many generations before them did We destroy, in whose dwellings they [now] move?Verily, in this are Signs for people endowed with understanding.
20:129
وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةٞ سَبَقَتۡ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَكَانَ لِزَامٗا وَأَجَلٞ مُّسَمّٗى ١٢٩
Had it not been for a Word that went forth before from your Lord, [their punishment] must necessarily have come [by now]; [but] there is a term appointed [for respite].
20:130
فَٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ قَبۡلَ طُلُوعِ ٱلشَّمۡسِ وَقَبۡلَ غُرُوبِهَاۖ وَمِنۡ ءَانَآيِٕ ٱلَّيۡلِ فَسَبِّحۡ وَأَطۡرَافَ ٱلنَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرۡضَىٰ ١٣٠
Therefore, endure patiently what they say, and [constantly] proclaim the praises of your Lord before the rising of the Sun, and before its setting; and glorify [Allāh] for a part of the [late] hours of the night, and at the sides of the day:that you may be pleased.
20:131
وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيۡنَيۡكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعۡنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزۡوَٰجٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ زَهۡرَةَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا لِنَفۡتِنَهُمۡ فِيهِۚ وَرِزۡقُ رَبِّكَ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰ ١٣١
Strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment, to some of them, splendour of the life of this world, through which We test them: But the sustenance of your Lord is better and more enduring.
20:132
وَأۡمُرۡ أَهۡلَكَ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱصۡطَبِرۡ عَلَيۡهَاۖ لَا نَسۡـَٔلُكَ رِزۡقٗاۖ نَّحۡنُ نَرۡزُقُكَۗ وَٱلۡعَٰقِبَةُ لِلتَّقۡوَىٰ ١٣٢
Enjoin your family to pray, and be constant therein. We ask you not to provide sustenance: We provide it for you. But the best end [in the Hereafter] is for those who fear [Allāh].
20:133
وَقَالُواْ لَوۡلَا يَأۡتِينَا بِـَٔايَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦٓۚ أَوَلَمۡ تَأۡتِهِم بَيِّنَةُ مَا فِي ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ ١٣٣
They say: “Why does he [the Prophet] not bring us a Sign from his Lord?” Has not a Clear Sign come to them [in the shape of] the earlier Scriptures of revelation?
20:134
وَلَوۡ أَنَّآ أَهۡلَكۡنَٰهُم بِعَذَابٖ مِّن قَبۡلِهِۦ لَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَا لَوۡلَآ أَرۡسَلۡتَ إِلَيۡنَا رَسُولٗا فَنَتَّبِعَ ءَايَٰتِكَ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن نَّذِلَّ وَنَخۡزَىٰ ١٣٤
Had We destroyed them with a punishment before this, they would have said: “Our Lord! If only you had sent us a Messenger, we should certainly have followed Your Signs before we were humbled and put to shame.”
20:135
قُلۡ كُلّٞ مُّتَرَبِّصٞ فَتَرَبَّصُواْۖ فَسَتَعۡلَمُونَ مَنۡ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ ٱلسَّوِيِّ وَمَنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ ١٣٥
Say: “Each one [of us] is waiting [in expectation]: wait you, therefore, and soon shall you know who are the people of the Straight Path, and who it is that has received guidance.”
