አንቀጽ: 78

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

አንቀጽ: 80

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ

 104. We called out to him: "O Abraham!

አንቀጽ: 105

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

 105. You have fulfilled the dream!" Verily thus do We reward the Muhsinûn (good-doers - See 2:112).

አንቀጽ: 106

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ

 106. Verily, that indeed was a manifest trial.

አንቀጽ: 107

وَفَدَيۡنَٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيمٖ

 107. And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice (i.e. كبش - a ram);

አንቀጽ: 108

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

 108. And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations.

አንቀጽ: 109

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

 109. "Salâm (peace) be upon Ibrâhîm (Abraham)!"

አንቀጽ: 110

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

 110. Thus indeed do We reward the Muhsinûn (good-doers - See V.2:112).

አንቀጽ: 111

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

 111. Verily, he was one of Our believing slaves.

አንቀጽ: 112

وَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِإِسۡحَٰقَ نَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

 112. And We gave him the glad tidings of Ishâq (Isaac) - a Prophet from the righteous.

አንቀጽ: 113

وَبَٰرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسۡحَٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنٞ وَظَالِمٞ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِينٞ

 113. We blessed him and Ishâq (Isaac). And of their progeny are (some) that do right, and some that plainly wrong themselves.

አንቀጽ: 114

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

 114. And, indeed We gave Our Grace to Mûsâ (Moses) and Hârûn (Aaron).

አንቀጽ: 115

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

 115. And We saved them and their people from the great distress,

አንቀጽ: 116

وَنَصَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

 116. And helped them, so that they became the victors;

አንቀጽ: 117

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِينَ

 117. And We gave them the clear Scripture;

አንቀጽ: 118

وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ

 118. And guided them to the Right Path.

አንቀጽ: 119

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

 119. And We left for them (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations.

አንቀጽ: 120

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

 120. "Salâm (peace) be upon Mûsa (Moses) and Hârûn (Aaron)!"

አንቀጽ: 121

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

 121. Verily, thus do We reward the Muhsinûn (good-doers - See V.2:112).

አንቀጽ: 122

إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

 122. Verily, they were two of Our believing slaves.

አንቀጽ: 123

وَإِنَّ إِلۡيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

 123. And verily, Iliyâs (Elias) was one of the Messengers.

አንቀጽ: 124

إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

 124. When he said to his people: "Will you not fear Allâh?

አንቀጽ: 125

أَتَدۡعُونَ بَعۡلٗا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ

 125. "Will you call upon Ba‘l (a well known idol of his nation whom they used to worship) and forsake the Best of creators,

አንቀጽ: 126

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

 126. "Allâh, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?"

አንቀጽ: 127

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

 127. But they denied him [Iliyâs (Elias)], so they will certainly be brought forth (to the punishment),

አንቀጽ: 128

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

 128. Except the chosen slaves of Allâh.

አንቀጽ: 129

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

 129. And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations.

አንቀጽ: 130

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلۡ يَاسِينَ

 130. "Salâm (peace) be upon Ilyâsîn (Elias)!"

አንቀጽ: 131

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

 131. Verily, thus do We reward the Muhsinûn (good-doers, who perform good deeds totally for Allâh’s sake only - See V.2:112).

አንቀጽ: 132

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

 132. Verily, he was one of Our believing slaves.

አንቀጽ: 133

وَإِنَّ لُوطٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

 133. And verily, Lût (Lot) was one of the Messengers.

አንቀጽ: 134

إِذۡ نَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

 134. When We saved him and his family, all,

አንቀጽ: 135

إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ

 135. Except an old woman (his wife) who was among those who remained behind.

አንቀጽ: 136

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

 136. Then We destroyed the rest (the town of Sodom at the place of the Dead Sea now in Palestine).

አንቀጽ: 137

وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِينَ

 137. Verily, you pass by them in the morning

አንቀጽ: 138

وَبِٱلَّيۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

 138. And at night; will you not then reflect?

አንቀጽ: 139

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

 139. And, verily, Yûnus (Jonah) was one of the Messengers.

አንቀጽ: 140

إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ

 140. When he ran to the laden ship:

አንቀጽ: 141

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِينَ

 141. Then he (agreed to) cast lots, and he was among the losers.

አንቀጽ: 142

فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ

 142. Then a (big) fish swallowed him as he had done an act worthy of blame.

አንቀጽ: 143

فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ

 143. Had he not been of them who glorify Allâh,

አንቀጽ: 144

لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطۡنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ

 144. He would have indeed remained inside its belly (the fish) till the Day of Resurrection.

አንቀጽ: 145

۞ فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ

 145. But We cast him forth on the naked shore while he was sick,

አንቀጽ: 146

وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ

 146. And We caused a plant of gourd to grow over him.

አንቀጽ: 147

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ

 147. And We sent him to a hundred thousand (people) or even more.

አንቀጽ: 148

فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ

 148. And they believed; so We gave them enjoyment for a while.

አንቀጽ: 149

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ

 149. Now ask them (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Are there (only) daughters for your Lord and sons for them?"

አንቀጽ: 150

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ

 150. Or did We create the angels female while they were witnesses?

አንቀጽ: 151

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ

 151. Verily, it is of their falsehood that they (Quraish pagans) say:

አንቀጽ: 152

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

 152. "Allâh has begotten [offspring - the angels being the daughters of Allâh)?" And, verily, they are liars!

አንቀጽ: 153

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ

 153. Has He (then) chosen daughters rather than sons?

አንቀጽ: 154

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ

 154. What is the matter with you? How do you decide?

አንቀጽ: 155

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

 155. Will you not then remember?

አንቀጽ: 156

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ

 156. Or is there for you a plain authority?

አንቀጽ: 157

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

 157. Then bring your Book if you are truthful!

አንቀጽ: 158

وَجَعَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُۥ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

 158. And they have invented a kinship between Him and the jinn, but the jinn know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e. they will be called to account).

አንቀጽ: 159

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

 159. Glorified be Allâh! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!

አንቀጽ: 160

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

 160. Except the slaves of Allâh, whom He chooses (for His Mercy i.e. true believers of Islâmic Monotheism who do not attribute false things unto Allâh).

አንቀጽ: 161

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

 161. So, verily you (pagans) and those whom you worship (idols)

አንቀጽ: 162

مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ

 162. Cannot lead astray [turn away from Him (Allâh) anyone of the believers],

አንቀጽ: 163

إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

 163. Except those who are predestined to burn in Hell!

አንቀጽ: 164

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

 164. And there is not one of us (angels) but has his known place (or position);

አንቀጽ: 165

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

 165. And verily, we (angels), we stand in rows (for the prayers as you Muslims stand in rows for your prayers);

አንቀጽ: 166

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ

 166. And verily, we (angels), indeed are those who glorify (Allâh’s Praises i.e. perform prayers).

አንቀጽ: 167

وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ

 167. And indeed they (Arab pagans) used to say:

አንቀጽ: 168

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

 168. "If we had a reminder as had the men of old (before the coming of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم as a Messenger of Allâh),

አንቀጽ: 169

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

 169. "We would have indeed been the chosen slaves of Allâh (true believers of Islâmic Monotheism)!"

አንቀጽ: 170

فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ

 170. But (now that the Qur’ân has come) they disbelieve therein (i.e. in the Qur’ân and in Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم , and all that he brought, - the Divine Revelation), so they will come to know!^[1]

(V.37:170) See the footnote (A) of (V.3:85).

አንቀጽ: 171

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

 171. And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our slaves, the Messengers,

አንቀጽ: 172

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ

 172. That they verily would be made triumphant,

አንቀጽ: 173

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

 173. And that Our hosts! they verily would be the victors.

አንቀጽ: 174

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

 174. So turn away (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) from them for a while,

አንቀጽ: 175

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

 175. And watch them and they shall see (the punishment)!

አንቀጽ: 176

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

 176. Do they seek to hasten on Our Torment?

አንቀጽ: 177

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

 177. Then, when it descends in their courtyard (i.e. near to them), evil will be the morning for those who had been warned!

አንቀጽ: 178

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

 178. So turn (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) away from them for a while,

አንቀጽ: 179

وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

 179. And watch and they shall see (the torment)!

አንቀጽ: 180

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

 180. Glorified be your Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!

አንቀጽ: 181

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

 181. And peace be on the Messengers!

አንቀጽ: 182

وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

 182. And all the praises and thanks be to Allâh, Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
