بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِیْۤ اَنْزَلَ عَلٰی عَبْدِهِ الْكِتٰبَ وَلَمْ یَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ عِوَجًا ۟ؕٚ
Alhamdu lillahi allatheeanzala AAala AAabdihi alkitaba walam yajAAal lahuAAiwaja
[All] praise is [due] to Allāh, who has sent down upon His Servant [Muḥammad (ﷺ)] the Book and has not made therein any deviance.
قَیِّمًا لِّیُنْذِرَ بَاْسًا شَدِیْدًا مِّنْ لَّدُنْهُ وَیُبَشِّرَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ الَّذِیْنَ یَعْمَلُوْنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ اَنَّ لَهُمْ اَجْرًا حَسَنًا ۟ۙ
Qayyiman liyunthira ba/san shadeedanmin ladunhu wayubashshira almu/mineena allatheenayaAAmaloona assalihati anna lahum ajran hasana
[He has made it] straight, to warn of severe punishment from Him and to give good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a good reward [i.e., Paradise].
مَّاكِثِیْنَ فِیْهِ اَبَدًا ۟ۙ
Makitheena feehi abada
In which they will remain forever
وَّیُنْذِرَ الَّذِیْنَ قَالُوا اتَّخَذَ اللّٰهُ وَلَدًا ۟ۗ
Wayunthira allatheena qalooittakhatha Allahu walada
And to warn those who say, "Allāh has taken a son".
مَا لَهُمْ بِهٖ مِنْ عِلْمٍ وَّلَا لِاٰبَآىِٕهِمْ ؕ كَبُرَتْ كَلِمَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ اَفْوَاهِهِمْ ؕ اِنْ یَّقُوْلُوْنَ اِلَّا كَذِبًا ۟
Ma lahum bihi min AAilmin walali-aba-ihim kaburat kalimatan takhruju min afwahihimin yaqooloona illa kathiba
They have no knowledge of it, nor had their fathers. Grave is the word that comes out of their mouths; they speak not except a lie.
فَلَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ عَلٰۤی اٰثَارِهِمْ اِنْ لَّمْ یُؤْمِنُوْا بِهٰذَا الْحَدِیْثِ اَسَفًا ۟
FalaAAallaka bakhiAAun nafsaka AAalaatharihim in lam yu/minoo bihatha alhadeethiasafa
Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over them, [O Muḥammad], if they do not believe in this message, [and] out of sorrow.
اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا مَا عَلَی الْاَرْضِ زِیْنَةً لَّهَا لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ اَیُّهُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ۟
Inna jaAAalna ma AAalaal-ardi zeenatan laha linabluwahum ayyuhum ahsanuAAamala
Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed.
وَاِنَّا لَجٰعِلُوْنَ مَا عَلَیْهَا صَعِیْدًا جُرُزًا ۟ؕ
Wa-inna lajaAAiloona maAAalayha saAAeedan juruza
And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground.
اَمْ حَسِبْتَ اَنَّ اَصْحٰبَ الْكَهْفِ وَالرَّقِیْمِ ۙ كَانُوْا مِنْ اٰیٰتِنَا عَجَبًا ۟
Am hasibta anna as-habaalkahfi warraqeemi kanoo min ayatinaAAajaba
Or have you thought that the companions of the cave and the inscription were, among Our signs, a wonder?
اِذْ اَوَی الْفِتْیَةُ اِلَی الْكَهْفِ فَقَالُوْا رَبَّنَاۤ اٰتِنَا مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً وَّهَیِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ اَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا ۟
Ith awa alfityatu ilaalkahfi faqaloo rabbana atina minladunka rahmatan wahayyi/ lana min amrinarashada
[Mention] when the youths retreated to the cave and said, "Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance."
فَضَرَبْنَا عَلٰۤی اٰذَانِهِمْ فِی الْكَهْفِ سِنِیْنَ عَدَدًا ۟ۙ
Fadarabna AAala athanihimfee alkahfi sineena AAadada
So We cast [a cover of sleep] over their ears within the cave for a number of years.
ثُمَّ بَعَثْنٰهُمْ لِنَعْلَمَ اَیُّ الْحِزْبَیْنِ اَحْصٰی لِمَا لَبِثُوْۤا اَمَدًا ۟۠
Thumma baAAathnahum linaAAlama ayyualhizbayni ahsa lima labithoo amada
Then We awakened them that We might show which of the two factions was most precise in calculating what [extent] they had remained in time.
نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَیْكَ نَبَاَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ ؕ اِنَّهُمْ فِتْیَةٌ اٰمَنُوْا بِرَبِّهِمْ وَزِدْنٰهُمْ هُدًی ۟ۗۖ
Nahnu naqussu AAalaykanabaahum bilhaqqi innahum fityatun amanoobirabbihim wazidnahum huda
It is We who relate to you, [O Muḥammad], their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.
وَّرَبَطْنَا عَلٰی قُلُوْبِهِمْ اِذْ قَامُوْا فَقَالُوْا رَبُّنَا رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ لَنْ نَّدْعُوَاۡ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اِلٰهًا لَّقَدْ قُلْنَاۤ اِذًا شَطَطًا ۟
Warabatna AAalaquloobihim ith qamoo faqaloo rabbunarabbu assamawati wal-ardilan nadAAuwa min doonihi ilahan laqad qulna ithanshatata
And We bound [i.e., made firm] their hearts when they stood up and said, "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression.
هٰۤؤُلَآءِ قَوْمُنَا اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اٰلِهَةً ؕ لَوْلَا یَاْتُوْنَ عَلَیْهِمْ بِسُلْطٰنٍ بَیِّنٍ ؕ فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰی عَلَی اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا ۟ؕ
Haola-i qawmuna ittakhathoomin doonihi alihatan lawla ya/toona AAalayhim bisultaninbayyinin faman athlamu mimmani iftara AAalaAllahi kathiba
These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear evidence? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allāh a lie?"
وَاِذِ اعْتَزَلْتُمُوْهُمْ وَمَا یَعْبُدُوْنَ اِلَّا اللّٰهَ فَاْوٗۤا اِلَی الْكَهْفِ یَنْشُرْ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ مِّنْ رَّحْمَتِهٖ وَیُهَیِّئْ لَكُمْ مِّنْ اَمْرِكُمْ مِّرْفَقًا ۟
Wa-ithi iAAtazaltumoohum wamayaAAbudoona illa Allaha fa/woo ila alkahfiyanshur lakum rabbukum min rahmatihi wayuhayyi/ lakum minamrikum mirfaqa
[The youths said to one another], "And when you have withdrawn from them and that which they worship other than Allāh, retreat to the cave. Your Lord will spread out for you of His mercy and will prepare for you from your affair facility."
وَتَرَی الشَّمْسَ اِذَا طَلَعَتْ تَّزٰوَرُ عَنْ كَهْفِهِمْ ذَاتَ الْیَمِیْنِ وَاِذَا غَرَبَتْ تَّقْرِضُهُمْ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ وَهُمْ فِیْ فَجْوَةٍ مِّنْهُ ؕ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ اٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ ؕ مَنْ یَّهْدِ اللّٰهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِ ۚ وَمَنْ یُّضْلِلْ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهٗ وَلِیًّا مُّرْشِدًا ۟۠
Watara ashshamsa itha talaAAattazawaru AAan kahfihim thata alyameeni wa-ithagharabat taqriduhum thata ashshimaliwahum fee fajwatin minhu thalika min ayatiAllahi man yahdi Allahu fahuwa almuhtadi waman yudlilfalan tajida lahu waliyyan murshida
And [had you been present], you would see the sun when it rose, inclining away from their cave on the right, and when it set, passing away from them on the left, while they were [lying] within an open space thereof. That was from the signs of Allāh. He whom Allāh guides is the [rightly] guided, but he whom He sends astray - never will you find for him a protecting guide.
وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ اَیْقَاظًا وَّهُمْ رُقُوْدٌ ۖۗ وَّنُقَلِّبُهُمْ ذَاتَ الْیَمِیْنِ وَذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ ۖۗ وَكَلْبُهُمْ بَاسِطٌ ذِرَاعَیْهِ بِالْوَصِیْدِ ؕ لَوِ اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَیْهِمْ لَوَلَّیْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِرَارًا وَّلَمُلِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ رُعْبًا ۟
Watahsabuhum ayqathanwahum ruqoodun wanuqallibuhum thata alyameeni wathataashshimali wakalbuhum basitun thiraAAayhibilwaseedi lawi ittalaAAta AAalayhimlawallayta minhum firaran walamuli/ta minhum ruAAba
And you would think them awake, while they were asleep. And We turned them to the right and to the left, while their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance. If you had looked at them, you would have turned from them in flight and been filled by them with terror.
وَكَذٰلِكَ بَعَثْنٰهُمْ لِیَتَسَآءَلُوْا بَیْنَهُمْ ؕ قَالَ قَآىِٕلٌ مِّنْهُمْ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ ؕ قَالُوْا لَبِثْنَا یَوْمًا اَوْ بَعْضَ یَوْمٍ ؕ قَالُوْا رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثْتُمْ ؕ فَابْعَثُوْۤا اَحَدَكُمْ بِوَرِقِكُمْ هٰذِهٖۤ اِلَی الْمَدِیْنَةِ فَلْیَنْظُرْ اَیُّهَاۤ اَزْكٰی طَعَامًا فَلْیَاْتِكُمْ بِرِزْقٍ مِّنْهُ وَلَا یُشْعِرَنَّ بِكُمْ اَحَدًا ۟

And similarly, We awakened them that they might question one another. Said a speaker from among them, "How long have you remained [here]?" They said, "We have remained a day or part of a day." They said, "Your Lord is most knowing of how long you remained. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city and let him look to which is the best of food and bring you provision from it and let him be cautious. And let no one be aware of you.
اِنَّهُمْ اِنْ یَّظْهَرُوْا عَلَیْكُمْ یَرْجُمُوْكُمْ اَوْ یُعِیْدُوْكُمْ فِیْ مِلَّتِهِمْ وَلَنْ تُفْلِحُوْۤا اِذًا اَبَدًا ۟
Innahum in yathharoo AAalaykumyarjumookum aw yuAAeedookum fee millatihim walan tuflihooithan abada
Indeed, if they come to know of you, they will stone you or return you to their religion. And never would you succeed, then - ever."
وَكَذٰلِكَ اَعْثَرْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ لِیَعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّاَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَا رَیْبَ فِیْهَا ۗۚ اِذْ یَتَنَازَعُوْنَ بَیْنَهُمْ اَمْرَهُمْ فَقَالُوا ابْنُوْا عَلَیْهِمْ بُنْیَانًا ؕ رَبُّهُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ ؕ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ غَلَبُوْا عَلٰۤی اَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَیْهِمْ مَّسْجِدًا ۟

And similarly, We caused them to be found that they [who found them] would know that the promise of Allāh is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [That was] when they disputed among themselves about their affair and [then] said, "Construct over them a structure. Their Lord is most knowing about them." Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."
سَیَقُوْلُوْنَ ثَلٰثَةٌ رَّابِعُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ ۚ وَیَقُوْلُوْنَ خَمْسَةٌ سَادِسُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ رَجْمًا بِالْغَیْبِ ۚ وَیَقُوْلُوْنَ سَبْعَةٌ وَّثَامِنُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ ؕ قُلْ رَّبِّیْۤ اَعْلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِمْ مَّا یَعْلَمُهُمْ اِلَّا قَلِیْلٌ ۫۬ فَلَا تُمَارِ فِیْهِمْ اِلَّا مِرَآءً ظَاهِرًا ۪ وَّلَا تَسْتَفْتِ فِیْهِمْ مِّنْهُمْ اَحَدًا ۟۠

They [i.e., people] will say there were three, the fourth of them being their dog; and they will say there were five, the sixth of them being their dog - guessing at the unseen; and they will say there were seven, and the eighth of them was their dog. Say, [O Muḥammad], "My Lord is most knowing of their number. None knows them except a few. So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument and do not inquire about them among [the speculators] from anyone."
وَلَا تَقُوْلَنَّ لِشَایْءٍ اِنِّیْ فَاعِلٌ ذٰلِكَ غَدًا ۟ۙ
Wala taqoolanna lishay-in innee faAAilunthalika ghada
And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow,"
اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یَّشَآءَ اللّٰهُ ؗ وَاذْكُرْ رَّبَّكَ اِذَا نَسِیْتَ وَقُلْ عَسٰۤی اَنْ یَّهْدِیَنِ رَبِّیْ لِاَقْرَبَ مِنْ هٰذَا رَشَدًا ۟
Illa an yashaa Allahuwathkur rabbaka itha naseeta waqul AAasaan yahdiyani rabbee li-aqraba min hatha rashada
Except [when adding], "If Allāh wills." And remember your Lord when you forget [it] and say, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to right conduct."
وَلَبِثُوْا فِیْ كَهْفِهِمْ ثَلٰثَ مِائَةٍ سِنِیْنَ وَازْدَادُوْا تِسْعًا ۟
Walabithoo fee kahfihim thalathami-atin sineena wazdadoo tisAAa
And they remained in their cave for three hundred years and exceeded by nine.
قُلِ اللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُوْا ۚ لَهٗ غَیْبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ؕ اَبْصِرْ بِهٖ وَاَسْمِعْ ؕ مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ مِنْ وَّلِیٍّ ؗ وَّلَا یُشْرِكُ فِیْ حُكْمِهٖۤ اَحَدًا ۟
Quli Allahu aAAlamu bimalabithoo lahu ghaybu assamawati wal-ardiabsir bihi waasmiAA ma lahum min doonihi minwaliyyin wala yushriku fee hukmihi ahada
Say, "Allāh is most knowing of how long they remained. He has [knowledge of] the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. How Seeing is He and how Hearing! They have not besides Him any protector, and He shares not His legislation with anyone."
وَاتْلُ مَاۤ اُوْحِیَ اِلَیْكَ مِنْ كِتَابِ رَبِّكَ ؕۚ لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمٰتِهٖ ۫ۚ وَلَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مُلْتَحَدًا ۟
Watlu ma oohiya ilaykamin kitabi rabbika la mubaddila likalimatihiwalan tajida min doonihi multahada
And recite, [O Muḥammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord. There is no changer of His words, and never will you find in other than Him a refuge.
وَاصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِیْنَ یَدْعُوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدٰوةِ وَالْعَشِیِّ یُرِیْدُوْنَ وَجْهَهٗ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَیْنٰكَ عَنْهُمْ ۚ تُرِیْدُ زِیْنَةَ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا ۚ وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ اَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهٗ عَنْ ذِكْرِنَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوٰىهُ وَكَانَ اَمْرُهٗ فُرُطًا ۟
Wasbir nafsaka maAAa allatheenayadAAoona rabbahum bilghadati walAAashiyyiyureedoona wajhahu wala taAAdu AAaynaka AAanhumtureedu zeenata alhayati addunya walatutiAA man aghfalna qalbahu AAan thikrinawattabaAAa hawahu wakana amruhu furuta
And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His face [i.e., acceptance]. And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of the worldly life, and do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever [in] neglect.
وَقُلِ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكُمْ ۫ فَمَنْ شَآءَ فَلْیُؤْمِنْ وَّمَنْ شَآءَ فَلْیَكْفُرْ ۙ اِنَّاۤ اَعْتَدْنَا لِلظّٰلِمِیْنَ نَارًا ۙ اَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَا ؕ وَاِنْ یَّسْتَغِیْثُوْا یُغَاثُوْا بِمَآءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ یَشْوِی الْوُجُوْهَ ؕ بِئْسَ الشَّرَابُ ؕ وَسَآءَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا ۟
Waquli alhaqqu min rabbikum faman shaafalyu/min waman shaa falyakfur inna aAAtadnaliththalimeena naran ahatabihim suradiquha wa-in yastagheethoo yughathoobima-in kalmuhli yashwee alwujooha bi/sa ashsharabuwasaat murtafaqa
And say, "The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills - let him believe; and whoever wills - let him disbelieve." Indeed, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a fire whose walls will surround them. And if they call for relief, they will be relieved with water like murky oil, which scalds [their] faces. Wretched is the drink, and evil is the resting place.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ اِنَّا لَا نُضِیْعُ اَجْرَ مَنْ اَحْسَنَ عَمَلًا ۟ۚ
Inna allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati inna lanudeeAAu ajra man ahsana AAamala
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of any who did well in deeds.
اُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهِمُ الْاَنْهٰرُ یُحَلَّوْنَ فِیْهَا مِنْ اَسَاوِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَّیَلْبَسُوْنَ ثِیَابًا خُضْرًا مِّنْ سُنْدُسٍ وَّاِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَّكِـِٕیْنَ فِیْهَا عَلَی الْاَرَآىِٕكِ ؕ نِعْمَ الثَّوَابُ ؕ وَحَسُنَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا ۟۠

Those will have gardens of perpetual residence; beneath them rivers will flow. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and will wear green garments of fine silk and brocade, reclining therein on adorned couches. Excellent is the reward, and good is the resting place.
وَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَّثَلًا رَّجُلَیْنِ جَعَلْنَا لِاَحَدِهِمَا جَنَّتَیْنِ مِنْ اَعْنَابٍ وَّحَفَفْنٰهُمَا بِنَخْلٍ وَّجَعَلْنَا بَیْنَهُمَا زَرْعًا ۟ؕ
Wadrib lahum mathalanrajulayni jaAAalna li-ahadihima jannataynimin aAAnabin wahafafnahuma binakhlinwajaAAalna baynahuma zarAAa
And present to them an example of two men: We granted to one of them two gardens of grapevines, and We bordered them with palm trees and placed between them [fields of] crops.
كِلْتَا الْجَنَّتَیْنِ اٰتَتْ اُكُلَهَا وَلَمْ تَظْلِمْ مِّنْهُ شَیْـًٔا ۙ وَّفَجَّرْنَا خِلٰلَهُمَا نَهَرًا ۟ۙ
Kilta aljannatayni atat okulahawalam tathlim minhu shay-an wafajjarna khilalahumanahara
Each of the two gardens produced its fruit and did not fall short thereof in anything. And We caused to gush forth within them a river.
وَّكَانَ لَهٗ ثَمَرٌ ۚ فَقَالَ لِصَاحِبِهٖ وَهُوَ یُحَاوِرُهٗۤ اَنَا اَكْثَرُ مِنْكَ مَالًا وَّاَعَزُّ نَفَرًا ۟
Wakana lahu thamarun faqala lisahibihiwahuwa yuhawiruhu ana aktharu minka malanwaaAAazzu nafara
And he had fruit, so he said to his companion while he was conversing with him, "I am greater than you in wealth and mightier in [numbers of] men."
وَدَخَلَ جَنَّتَهٗ وَهُوَ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهٖ ۚ قَالَ مَاۤ اَظُنُّ اَنْ تَبِیْدَ هٰذِهٖۤ اَبَدًا ۟ۙ
Wadakhala jannatahu wahuwa thalimunlinafsihi qala ma athunnu an tabeedahathihi abada
And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself. He said, "I do not think that this will perish - ever.
وَّمَاۤ اَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَآىِٕمَةً ۙ وَّلَىِٕنْ رُّدِدْتُّ اِلٰی رَبِّیْ لَاَجِدَنَّ خَیْرًا مِّنْهَا مُنْقَلَبًا ۟ۚ
Wama athunnu assaAAataqa-imatan wala-in rudidtu ila rabbee laajidannakhayran minha munqalaba
And I do not think the Hour will occur. And even if I should be brought back to my Lord, I will surely find better than this as a return."
قَالَ لَهٗ صَاحِبُهٗ وَهُوَ یُحَاوِرُهٗۤ اَكَفَرْتَ بِالَّذِیْ خَلَقَكَ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ سَوّٰىكَ رَجُلًا ۟ؕ
Qala lahu sahibuhu wahuwa yuhawiruhuakafarta billathee khalaqaka min turabinthumma min nutfatin thumma sawwaka rajula
His companion said to him while he was conversing with him, "Have you disbelieved in He who created you from dust and then from a sperm-drop and then proportioned you [as] a man?
لٰكِنَّاۡ هُوَ اللّٰهُ رَبِّیْ وَلَاۤ اُشْرِكُ بِرَبِّیْۤ اَحَدًا ۟
Lakinna huwa Allahu rabbee walaoshriku birabbee ahada
But as for me, He is Allāh, my Lord, and I do not associate with my Lord anyone.
وَلَوْلَاۤ اِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَآءَ اللّٰهُ ۙ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ ۚ اِنْ تَرَنِ اَنَا اَقَلَّ مِنْكَ مَالًا وَّوَلَدًا ۟ۚ
Walawla ith dakhalta jannatakaqulta ma shaa Allahu la quwwata illabillahi in tarani ana aqalla minka malanwawalada
And why did you, when you entered your garden, not say, 'What Allāh willed [has occurred]; there is no power except in Allāh'? Although you see me less than you in wealth and children,
فَعَسٰی رَبِّیْۤ اَنْ یُّؤْتِیَنِ خَیْرًا مِّنْ جَنَّتِكَ وَیُرْسِلَ عَلَیْهَا حُسْبَانًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ فَتُصْبِحَ صَعِیْدًا زَلَقًا ۟ۙ
FaAAasa rabbee an yu/tiyani khayranmin jannatika wayursila AAalayha husbananmina assama-i fatusbiha saAAeedanzalaqa
It may be that my Lord will give me [something] better than your garden and will send upon it a [disastrous] penalty from the sky, and it will become a smooth, dusty ground,
اَوْ یُصْبِحَ مَآؤُهَا غَوْرًا فَلَنْ تَسْتَطِیْعَ لَهٗ طَلَبًا ۟
Aw yusbiha maohaghawran falan tastateeAAa lahu talaba
Or its water will become sunken [into the earth], so you would never be able to seek it."
وَاُحِیْطَ بِثَمَرِهٖ فَاَصْبَحَ یُقَلِّبُ كَفَّیْهِ عَلٰی مَاۤ اَنْفَقَ فِیْهَا وَهِیَ خَاوِیَةٌ عَلٰی عُرُوْشِهَا وَیَقُوْلُ یٰلَیْتَنِیْ لَمْ اُشْرِكْ بِرَبِّیْۤ اَحَدًا ۟

And his fruits were encompassed [by ruin], so he began to turn his hands about [in dismay] over what he had spent on it, while it had collapsed upon its trellises, and said, "Oh, I wish I had not associated with my Lord anyone."
وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَّهٗ فِئَةٌ یَّنْصُرُوْنَهٗ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَمَا كَانَ مُنْتَصِرًا ۟ؕ
Walam takun lahu fi-atun yansuroonahumin dooni Allahi wama kana muntasira
And there was for him no company to aid him other than Allāh, nor could he defend himself.
هُنَالِكَ الْوَلَایَةُ لِلّٰهِ الْحَقِّ ؕ هُوَ خَیْرٌ ثَوَابًا وَّخَیْرٌ عُقْبًا ۟۠
Hunalika alwalayatu lillahialhaqqi huwa khayrun thawaban wakhayrun AAuqba
There the authority is [completely] for Allāh, the Truth. He is best in reward and best in outcome.
وَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَّثَلَ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا كَمَآءٍ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهٖ نَبَاتُ الْاَرْضِ فَاَصْبَحَ هَشِیْمًا تَذْرُوْهُ الرِّیٰحُ ؕ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ مُّقْتَدِرًا ۟
Wadrib lahum mathala alhayatiaddunya kama-in anzalnahu mina assama-ifakhtalata bihi nabatu al-ardi faasbahahasheeman tathroohu arriyahu wakanaAllahu AAala kulli shay-in muqtadira
And present to them the example of the life of this world, [its being] like rain which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it and [then] it becomes dry remnants, scattered by the winds. And Allāh is ever, over all things, Perfect in Ability.
اَلْمَالُ وَالْبَنُوْنَ زِیْنَةُ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا ۚ وَالْبٰقِیٰتُ الصّٰلِحٰتُ خَیْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَّخَیْرٌ اَمَلًا ۟
Almalu walbanoona zeenatu alhayatiaddunya walbaqiyatu assalihatukhayrun AAinda rabbika thawaban wakhayrun amala
Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one's] hope.
وَیَوْمَ نُسَیِّرُ الْجِبَالَ وَتَرَی الْاَرْضَ بَارِزَةً ۙ وَّحَشَرْنٰهُمْ فَلَمْ نُغَادِرْ مِنْهُمْ اَحَدًا ۟ۚ
Wayawma nusayyiru aljibala wataraal-arda barizatan wahasharnahum falamnughadir minhum ahada
And [warn of] the Day when We will remove the mountains and you will see the earth exposed, and We will gather them and not leave behind from them anyone.
وَعُرِضُوْا عَلٰی رَبِّكَ صَفًّا ؕ لَقَدْ جِئْتُمُوْنَا كَمَا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍؗ بَلْ زَعَمْتُمْ اَلَّنْ نَّجْعَلَ لَكُمْ مَّوْعِدًا ۟
WaAAuridoo AAala rabbika saffanlaqad ji/tumoona kama khalaqnakum awwalamarratin bal zaAAamtum allan najAAala lakum mawAAida
And they will be presented before your Lord in rows, [and He will say], "You have certainly come to Us just as We created you the first time. But you claimed that We would never make for you an appointment."
وَوُضِعَ الْكِتٰبُ فَتَرَی الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ مُشْفِقِیْنَ مِمَّا فِیْهِ وَیَقُوْلُوْنَ یٰوَیْلَتَنَا مَالِ هٰذَا الْكِتٰبِ لَا یُغَادِرُ صَغِیْرَةً وَّلَا كَبِیْرَةً اِلَّاۤ اَحْصٰىهَا ۚ وَوَجَدُوْا مَا عَمِلُوْا حَاضِرًا ؕ وَلَا یَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ اَحَدًا ۟۠

And the record [of deeds] will be placed [open], and you will see the criminals fearful of that within it, and they will say, "Oh, woe to us! What is this book that leaves nothing small or great except that it has enumerated it?" And they will find what they did present [before them]. And your Lord does injustice to no one.
وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ اسْجُدُوْا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُوْۤا اِلَّاۤ اِبْلِیْسَ ؕ كَانَ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنْ اَمْرِ رَبِّهٖ ؕ اَفَتَتَّخِذُوْنَهٗ وَذُرِّیَّتَهٗۤ اَوْلِیَآءَ مِنْ دُوْنِیْ وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ ؕ بِئْسَ لِلظّٰلِمِیْنَ بَدَلًا ۟

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was of the jinn and departed from [i.e., disobeyed] the command of his Lord. Then will you take him and his descendants as allies other than Me while they are enemies to you? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange.
مَاۤ اَشْهَدْتُّهُمْ خَلْقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَلَا خَلْقَ اَنْفُسِهِمْ ۪ وَمَا كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذَ الْمُضِلِّیْنَ عَضُدًا ۟
Ma ashhadtuhum khalqa assamawatiwal-ardi wala khalqa anfusihim wamakuntu muttakhitha almudilleena AAaduda
I did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth or to the creation of themselves, and I would not have taken the misguiders as assistants.
وَیَوْمَ یَقُوْلُ نَادُوْا شُرَكَآءِیَ الَّذِیْنَ زَعَمْتُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ یَسْتَجِیْبُوْا لَهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا بَیْنَهُمْ مَّوْبِقًا ۟
Wayawma yaqoolu nadoo shuraka-iyaallatheena zaAAamtum fadaAAawhum falam yastajeeboo lahumwajaAAalna baynahum mawbiqa
And [warn of] the Day when He will say, "Call My 'partners' whom you claimed," and they will invoke them, but they will not respond to them. And We will put between them [a valley of] destruction.
وَرَاَ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ النَّارَ فَظَنُّوْۤا اَنَّهُمْ مُّوَاقِعُوْهَا وَلَمْ یَجِدُوْا عَنْهَا مَصْرِفًا ۟۠
Waraa almujrimoona annarafathannoo annahum muwaqiAAooha walamyajidoo AAanha masrifa
And the criminals will see the Fire and will be certain that they are to fall therein. And they will not find from it a way elsewhere.
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِیْ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَثَلٍ ؕ وَكَانَ الْاِنْسَانُ اَكْثَرَ شَیْءٍ جَدَلًا ۟
Walaqad sarrafna fee hathaalqur-ani linnasi min kulli mathalin wakanaal-insanu akthara shay-in jadala
And We have certainly diversified in this Qur’ān for the people from every [kind of] example; but man has ever been, most of anything, [prone to] dispute.
وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ اَنْ یُّؤْمِنُوْۤا اِذْ جَآءَهُمُ الْهُدٰی وَیَسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّهُمْ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ تَاْتِیَهُمْ سُنَّةُ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ اَوْ یَاْتِیَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ قُبُلًا ۟
Wama manaAAa annasa anyu/minoo ith jaahumu alhuda wayastaghfiroorabbahum illa an ta/tiyahum sunnatu al-awwaleena awya/tiyahumu alAAathabu qubula
And nothing has prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord except that there [must] befall them the [accustomed] precedent of the former peoples or that the punishment should come [directly] before them.
وَمَا نُرْسِلُ الْمُرْسَلِیْنَ اِلَّا مُبَشِّرِیْنَ وَمُنْذِرِیْنَ ۚ وَیُجَادِلُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِالْبَاطِلِ لِیُدْحِضُوْا بِهِ الْحَقَّ وَاتَّخَذُوْۤا اٰیٰتِیْ وَمَاۤ اُنْذِرُوْا هُزُوًا ۟
Wama nursilu almursaleena illamubashshireena wamunthireena wayujadilu allatheenakafaroo bilbatili liyudhidoo bihi alhaqqawattakhathoo ayatee wama onthiroohuzuwa
And We send not the messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners. And those who disbelieve dispute by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth and have taken My verses, and that of which they are warned, in ridicule.
وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذُكِّرَ بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّهٖ فَاَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا وَنَسِیَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ یَدٰهُ ؕ اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا عَلٰی قُلُوْبِهِمْ اَكِنَّةً اَنْ یَّفْقَهُوْهُ وَفِیْۤ اٰذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًا ؕ وَاِنْ تَدْعُهُمْ اِلَی الْهُدٰی فَلَنْ یَّهْتَدُوْۤا اِذًا اَبَدًا ۟

And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord but turns away from them and forgets what his hands have put forth? Indeed, We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if you invite them to guidance - they will never be guided, then - ever.
وَرَبُّكَ الْغَفُوْرُ ذُو الرَّحْمَةِ ؕ لَوْ یُؤَاخِذُهُمْ بِمَا كَسَبُوْا لَعَجَّلَ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابَ ؕ بَلْ لَّهُمْ مَّوْعِدٌ لَّنْ یَّجِدُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مَوْىِٕلًا ۟
Warabbuka alghafooru thoo arrahmatilaw yu-akhithuhum bima kasaboo laAAajjalalahumu alAAathaba bal lahum mawAAidun lan yajidoo mindoonihi maw-ila
And your Lord is the Forgiving, the possessor of mercy. If He were to impose blame upon them for what they earned, He would have hastened for them the punishment. Rather, for them is an appointment from which they will never find an escape.
وَتِلْكَ الْقُرٰۤی اَهْلَكْنٰهُمْ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوْا وَجَعَلْنَا لِمَهْلِكِهِمْ مَّوْعِدًا ۟۠
Watilka alqura ahlaknahum lammathalamoo wajaAAalna limahlikihim mawAAida
And those cities - We destroyed them when they wronged, and We made for their destruction an appointed time.
وَاِذْ قَالَ مُوْسٰی لِفَتٰىهُ لَاۤ اَبْرَحُ حَتّٰۤی اَبْلُغَ مَجْمَعَ الْبَحْرَیْنِ اَوْ اَمْضِیَ حُقُبًا ۟
Wa-ith qala moosa lifatahula abrahu hatta ablugha majmaAAa albahrayniaw amdiya huquba
And [mention] when Moses said to his boy [i.e., servant], "I will not cease [traveling] until I reach the junction of the two seas or continue for a long period."
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَا مَجْمَعَ بَیْنِهِمَا نَسِیَا حُوْتَهُمَا فَاتَّخَذَ سَبِیْلَهٗ فِی الْبَحْرِ سَرَبًا ۟
Falamma balagha majmaAAabaynihima nasiya hootahuma fattakhathasabeelahu fee albahri saraba
But when they reached the junction between them, they forgot their fish, and it took its course into the sea, slipping away.
فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَا قَالَ لِفَتٰىهُ اٰتِنَا غَدَآءَنَا ؗ لَقَدْ لَقِیْنَا مِنْ سَفَرِنَا هٰذَا نَصَبًا ۟
Falamma jawaza qalalifatahu atina ghadaana laqadlaqeena min safarina hatha nasaba
So when they had passed beyond it, [Moses] said to his boy, "Bring us our morning meal. We have certainly suffered in this, our journey, [much] fatigue."
قَالَ اَرَءَیْتَ اِذْ اَوَیْنَاۤ اِلَی الصَّخْرَةِ فَاِنِّیْ نَسِیْتُ الْحُوْتَ ؗ وَمَاۤ اَنْسٰىنِیْهُ اِلَّا الشَّیْطٰنُ اَنْ اَذْكُرَهٗ ۚ وَاتَّخَذَ سَبِیْلَهٗ فِی الْبَحْرِ ۖۗ عَجَبًا ۟

He said, "Did you see when we retired to the rock? Indeed, I forgot [there] the fish. And none made me forget it except Satan - that I should mention it. And it took its course into the sea amazingly."
قَالَ ذٰلِكَ مَا كُنَّا نَبْغِ ۖۗ فَارْتَدَّا عَلٰۤی اٰثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًا ۟ۙ

[Moses] said, "That is what we were seeking." So they returned, following their footprints.
فَوَجَدَا عَبْدًا مِّنْ عِبَادِنَاۤ اٰتَیْنٰهُ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِنَا وَعَلَّمْنٰهُ مِنْ لَّدُنَّا عِلْمًا ۟
Fawajada AAabdan min AAibadinaataynahu rahmatan min AAindinawaAAallamnahu min ladunna AAilma
And they found a servant from among Our servants [i.e., al-Khiḍr] to whom We had given mercy from Us and had taught him from Us a [certain] knowledge.
قَالَ لَهٗ مُوْسٰی هَلْ اَتَّبِعُكَ عَلٰۤی اَنْ تُعَلِّمَنِ مِمَّا عُلِّمْتَ رُشْدًا ۟

Moses said to him, "May I follow you on [the condition] that you teach me from what you have been taught of sound judgement?"

He said, "Indeed, with me you will never be able to have patience.

And how can you have patience for what you do not encompass in knowledge?"

[Moses] said, "You will find me, if Allāh wills, patient, and I will not disobey you in [any] order."

So they set out, until when they came to the people of a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to offer them hospitality. And they found therein a wall about to collapse, so he [i.e., al-Khiḍr] restored it. [Moses] said, "If you wished, you could have taken for it a payment."
قَالَ هٰذَا فِرَاقُ بَیْنِیْ وَبَیْنِكَ ۚ سَاُنَبِّئُكَ بِتَاْوِیْلِ مَا لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ عَّلَیْهِ صَبْرًا ۟

As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working at sea. So I intended to cause defect in it as there was after them a king who seized every [good] ship by force.
وَاَمَّا الْغُلٰمُ فَكَانَ اَبَوٰهُ مُؤْمِنَیْنِ فَخَشِیْنَاۤ اَنْ یُّرْهِقَهُمَا طُغْیَانًا وَّكُفْرًا ۟ۚ

And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief.

So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.

And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure for them, and their father had been righteous. So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience."

Indeed, We established him upon the earth, and We gave him from everything a way [i.e., means].
فَاَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا ۟
FaatbaAAa sababa
So he followed a way
حَتّٰۤی اِذَا بَلَغَ مَغْرِبَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَغْرُبُ فِیْ عَیْنٍ حَمِئَةٍ وَّوَجَدَ عِنْدَهَا قَوْمًا ؕ۬ قُلْنَا یٰذَا الْقَرْنَیْنِ اِمَّاۤ اَنْ تُعَذِّبَ وَاِمَّاۤ اَنْ تَتَّخِذَ فِیْهِمْ حُسْنًا ۟
Hatta itha balaghamaghriba ashshamsi wajadaha taghrubu fee AAaynin hami-atinwawajada AAindaha qawman qulna ya thaalqarnayni imma an tuAAaththiba wa-imma antattakhitha feehim husna
Until, when he reached the setting of the sun [i.e., the west], he found it [as if] setting in a body of dark water, and he found near it a people. We [i.e., Allāh] said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness."
قَالَ اَمَّا مَنْ ظَلَمَ فَسَوْفَ نُعَذِّبُهٗ ثُمَّ یُرَدُّ اِلٰی رَبِّهٖ فَیُعَذِّبُهٗ عَذَابًا نُّكْرًا ۟
Qala amma man thalamafasawfa nuAAaththibuhu thumma yuraddu ila rabbihifayuAAaththibuhu AAathaban nukra
He said, "As for one who wrongs, we will punish him. Then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with a terrible punishment [i.e., Hellfire].
وَاَمَّا مَنْ اٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلَهٗ جَزَآءَ لْحُسْنٰی ۚ وَسَنَقُوْلُ لَهٗ مِنْ اَمْرِنَا یُسْرًا ۟ؕ
Waamma man amana waAAamila salihanfalahu jazaan alhusna wasanaqoolu lahu minamrina yusra
But as for one who believes and does righteousness, he will have a reward of the best [i.e., Paradise], and we [i.e., Dhul-Qarnayn] will speak to him from our command with ease."
ثُمَّ اَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا ۟
Thumma atbaAAa sababa
Then he followed a way
حَتّٰۤی اِذَا بَلَغَ مَطْلِعَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَطْلُعُ عَلٰی قَوْمٍ لَّمْ نَجْعَلْ لَّهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهَا سِتْرًا ۟ۙ
Hatta itha balagha matliAAaashshamsi wajadaha tatluAAu AAalaqawmin lam najAAal lahum min dooniha sitra
Until, when he came to the rising of the sun [i.e., the east], he found it rising on a people for whom We had not made against it any shield.
كَذٰلِكَ ؕ وَقَدْ اَحَطْنَا بِمَا لَدَیْهِ خُبْرًا ۟
Kathalika waqad ahatnabima ladayhi khubra
Thus. And We had encompassed [all] that he had in knowledge.
ثُمَّ اَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا ۟
Thumma atbaAAa sababa
Then he followed a way.
حَتّٰۤی اِذَا بَلَغَ بَیْنَ السَّدَّیْنِ وَجَدَ مِنْ دُوْنِهِمَا قَوْمًا ۙ لَّا یَكَادُوْنَ یَفْقَهُوْنَ قَوْلًا ۟
Hatta itha balaghabayna assaddayni wajada min doonihima qawman layakadoona yafqahoona qawla
Until, when he reached [a pass] between two mountains, he found beside them a people who could hardly understand [his] speech.
قَالُوْا یٰذَا الْقَرْنَیْنِ اِنَّ یَاْجُوْجَ وَمَاْجُوْجَ مُفْسِدُوْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ فَهَلْ نَجْعَلُ لَكَ خَرْجًا عَلٰۤی اَنْ تَجْعَلَ بَیْنَنَا وَبَیْنَهُمْ سَدًّا ۟
Qaloo ya tha alqarnayniinna ya/jooja wama/jooja mufsidoona fee al-ardi fahalnajAAalu laka kharjan AAala an tajAAala baynanawabaynahum sadda
They said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, indeed Gog and Magog are [great] corrupters in the land. So may we assign for you an expenditure that you might make between us and them a barrier?"
قَالَ مَا مَكَّنِّیْ فِیْهِ رَبِّیْ خَیْرٌ فَاَعِیْنُوْنِیْ بِقُوَّةٍ اَجْعَلْ بَیْنَكُمْ وَبَیْنَهُمْ رَدْمًا ۟ۙ
Qala ma makkannee feehi rabbeekhayrun faaAAeenoonee biquwwatin ajAAal baynakum wabaynahum radma
He said, "That in which my Lord has established me is better [than what you offer], but assist me with strength [i.e., manpower]; I will make between you and them a dam.
اٰتُوْنِیْ زُبَرَ الْحَدِیْدِ ؕ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا سَاوٰی بَیْنَ الصَّدَفَیْنِ قَالَ انْفُخُوْا ؕ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا جَعَلَهٗ نَارًا ۙ قَالَ اٰتُوْنِیْۤ اُفْرِغْ عَلَیْهِ قِطْرًا ۟ؕ
Atoonee zubara alhadeedi hattaitha sawa bayna asadafayni qalaonfukhoo hatta itha jaAAalahu naran qalaatoonee ofrigh AAalayhi qitra
Bring me bars of iron" - until, when he had leveled [them] between the two mountain walls, he said, "Blow [with bellows]," until when he had made it [like] fire, he said, "Bring me, that I may pour over it molten copper."
فَمَا اسْطَاعُوْۤا اَنْ یَّظْهَرُوْهُ وَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوْا لَهٗ نَقْبًا ۟
Fama istaAAoo an yathharoohuwama istataAAoo lahu naqba
So they [i.e., Gog and Magog] were unable to pass over it, nor were they able [to effect] in it any penetration.
قَالَ هٰذَا رَحْمَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّیْ ۚ فَاِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ رَبِّیْ جَعَلَهٗ دَكَّآءَ ۚ وَكَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّیْ حَقًّا ۟ؕ
Qala hatha rahmatun minrabbee fa-itha jaa waAAdu rabbee jaAAalahu dakkaawakana waAAdu rabbee haqqa
[Dhul-Qarnayn] said, "This is a mercy from my Lord; but when the promise of my Lord comes [i.e., approaches], He will make it level, and ever is the promise of my Lord true."
وَتَرَكْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ یَوْمَىِٕذٍ یَّمُوْجُ فِیْ بَعْضٍ وَّنُفِخَ فِی الصُّوْرِ فَجَمَعْنٰهُمْ جَمْعًا ۟ۙ
Watarakna baAAdahum yawma-ithinyamooju fee baAAdin wanufikha fee assoorifajamaAAnahum jamAAa
And We will leave them that day surging over each other, and [then] the Horn will be blown, and We will assemble them in [one] assembly.
وَّعَرَضْنَا جَهَنَّمَ یَوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْكٰفِرِیْنَ عَرْضَا ۟ۙ
WaAAaradna jahannama yawma-ithinlilkafireena AAarda
And We will present Hell that Day to the disbelievers, on display -
لَّذِیْنَ كَانَتْ اَعْیُنُهُمْ فِیْ غِطَآءٍ عَنْ ذِكْرِیْ وَكَانُوْا لَا یَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ سَمْعًا ۟۠
Allatheena kanat aAAyunuhumfee ghita-in AAan thikree wakanoo layastateeAAoona samAAa
Those whose eyes had been within a cover [removed] from My remembrance, and they were not able to hear.
اَفَحَسِبَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اَنْ یَّتَّخِذُوْا عِبَادِیْ مِنْ دُوْنِیْۤ اَوْلِیَآءَ ؕ اِنَّاۤ اَعْتَدْنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ نُزُلًا ۟
Afahasiba allatheena kafarooan yattakhithoo AAibadee min doonee awliyaainna aAAtadna jahannama lilkafireena nuzula
Then do those who disbelieve think that they can take My servants instead of Me as allies? Indeed, We have prepared Hell for the disbelievers as a lodging.
قُلْ هَلْ نُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِالْاَخْسَرِیْنَ اَعْمَالًا ۟ؕ
Qul hal nunabbi-okum bil-akhsareenaaAAmala
Say, [O Muḥammad], "Shall we [believers] inform you of the greatest losers as to [their] deeds?
اَلَّذِیْنَ ضَلَّ سَعْیُهُمْ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا وَهُمْ یَحْسَبُوْنَ اَنَّهُمْ یُحْسِنُوْنَ صُنْعًا ۟
Allatheena dalla saAAyuhumfee alhayati addunya wahum yahsaboonaannahum yuhsinoona sunAAa
[They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work."
اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَلِقَآىِٕهٖ فَحَبِطَتْ اَعْمَالُهُمْ فَلَا نُقِیْمُ لَهُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ وَزْنًا ۟
Ola-ika allatheena kafaroobi-ayati rabbihim waliqa-ihi fahabitataAAmaluhum fala nuqeemu lahum yawma alqiyamatiwazna
Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in [their] meeting Him, so their deeds have become worthless; and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any weight [i.e., importance].
ذٰلِكَ جَزَآؤُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ بِمَا كَفَرُوْا وَاتَّخَذُوْۤا اٰیٰتِیْ وَرُسُلِیْ هُزُوًا ۟
Thalika jazaohum jahannamubima kafaroo wattakhathoo ayateewarusulee huzuwa
That is their recompense - Hell - for what they denied and [because] they took My signs and My messengers in ridicule.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ نُزُلًا ۟ۙ
Inna allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati kanat lahumjannatu alfirdawsi nuzula
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - they will have the Gardens of Paradise as a lodging,
خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا لَا یَبْغُوْنَ عَنْهَا حِوَلًا ۟
Khalideena feeha layabghoona AAanha hiwala
Wherein they abide eternally. They will not desire from it any transfer.
قُلْ لَّوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِّكَلِمٰتِ رَبِّیْ لَنَفِدَ الْبَحْرُ قَبْلَ اَنْ تَنْفَدَ كَلِمٰتُ رَبِّیْ وَلَوْ جِئْنَا بِمِثْلِهٖ مَدَدًا ۟
Qul law kana albahru midadanlikalimati rabbee lanafida albahru qabla an tanfadakalimatu rabbee walaw ji/na bimithlihi madada
Say, "If the sea were ink for [writing] the words of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even if We brought the like of it in [continual] supplement."
قُلْ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنَا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ یُوْحٰۤی اِلَیَّ اَنَّمَاۤ اِلٰهُكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌ ۚ فَمَنْ كَانَ یَرْجُوْا لِقَآءَ رَبِّهٖ فَلْیَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَّلَا یُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهٖۤ اَحَدًا ۟۠
Qul innama ana basharunmithlukum yooha ilayya annama ilahukum ilahunwahidun faman kana yarjoo liqaa rabbihifalyaAAmal AAamalan salihan wala yushrikbiAAibadati rabbihi ahada
Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone."
