(3) And those who recite the message,^[1286]

(4) Indeed, your God is One,

አንቀጽ: 26

(26) But they, that Day, are in surrender.

وَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

(27) And they will approach one another asking [i.e., blaming] each other.

አንቀጽ: 28

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ تَأۡتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

(28) They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."^[1290]

አንቀጽ: 29

قَالُواْ بَل لَّمۡ تَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

(29) They [i.e., the oppressors] will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,

አንቀጽ: 30

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيۡكُم مِّن سُلۡطَٰنِۭۖ بَلۡ كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمٗا طَٰغِينَ

(31) So the word [i.e., decree] of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].

አንቀጽ: 48

وَعِندَهُمۡ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرۡفِ عِينٞ

(48) And with them will be women limiting [their] glances,^[1292] with large, [beautiful] eyes,

[1292]- i.e., chaste and modest, looking only at their mates.

አንቀጽ: 49

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيۡضٞ مَّكۡنُونٞ

(49) As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected.

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُصَدِّقِينَ

(52) Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe

(62) Is that [i.e., Paradise] a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqūm?

አንቀጽ: 63

(63) Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers.

አንቀጽ: 64

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٞ تَخۡرُجُ فِيٓ أَصۡلِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

(64) Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire,

(66) And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies.

አንቀጽ: 67

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبٗا مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ

(67) Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water.

አንቀጽ: 68

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

(68) Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire.

አንቀጽ: 69

إِنَّهُمۡ أَلۡفَوۡاْ ءَابَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّينَ

(69) Indeed they found their fathers astray.

አንቀጽ: 70

فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُونَ

(70) So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.

አንቀጽ: 71

وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

(71) And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,

አንቀጽ: 72

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ

(72) And We had already sent among them warners.

አንቀጽ: 73

فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

(73) Then look how was the end of those who were warned -

አንቀጽ: 74

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

(74) But not the chosen servants of Allāh.

አንቀጽ: 75

وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٞ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِيبُونَ

(75) And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders.

አንቀጽ: 76

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

(76) And We saved him and his family from the great affliction.

አንቀጽ: 77

وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ

(77) And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]

አንቀጽ: 78

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

(78) And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

አንቀጽ: 79

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٖ فِي ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

(79) "Peace upon Noah among the worlds."

አንቀጽ: 80

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

(80) Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

አንቀጽ: 81

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

(81) Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

አንቀጽ: 82

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

(82) Then We drowned the others [i.e., disbelievers].

አንቀጽ: 83

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

(83) And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,

አንቀጽ: 84

إِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٍ

(84) When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

አንቀጽ: 85

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

(85) [And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?

አንቀጽ: 86

أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

(86) Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allāh you desire?

አንቀጽ: 87

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

(87) Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?"

አንቀጽ: 88

فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ

(88) And he cast a look at the stars

አንቀጽ: 89

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ

(89) And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill."

አንቀጽ: 90

فَتَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِينَ

(90) So they turned away from him, departing.

አንቀጽ: 91

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

(91) Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?^[1295]

[1295]- Consume the offerings placed before them.

አንቀጽ: 92

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

(92) What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?"

አንቀጽ: 93

فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ

(93) And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand.

አንቀጽ: 94

فَأَقۡبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّونَ

(94) Then they [i.e., the people] came toward him, hastening.

አንቀጽ: 95

قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ

(95) He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,

አንቀጽ: 96

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

(96) While Allāh created you and that which you do?"

አንቀጽ: 97

قَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنۡيَٰنٗا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِي ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

(97) They said, "Construct for him a structure [i.e., furnace] and throw him into the burning fire."

አንቀጽ: 98

فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ

(98) And they intended for him a plan [i.e., harm], but We made them the most debased.

አንቀጽ: 99

وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ

(99) And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.

አንቀጽ: 100

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

(100) My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."

አንቀጽ: 101

فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ

(101) So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.

አንቀጽ: 102

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡيَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَيَّ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّيٓ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِيٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ

(102) And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion,^[1296] he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allāh wills, of the steadfast."

[1296]- i.e., the ability to work and be of assistance.

አንቀጽ: 103

فَلَمَّآ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِينِ

(103) And when they had both submitted^[1297] and he put him down upon his forehead,

[1297]- To the command of Allāh.

አንቀጽ: 104

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ

(104) We called to him, "O Abraham,

አንቀጽ: 105

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

(105) You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

አንቀጽ: 106

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ

(106) Indeed, this was the clear trial.

አንቀጽ: 107

وَفَدَيۡنَٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيمٖ

(107) And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,^[1298]

[1298]- Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) sent a huge ram to be sacrificed in place of Ishmael.

አንቀጽ: 108

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

(108) And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

አንቀጽ: 109

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

(109) "Peace upon Abraham."

አንቀጽ: 110

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

(110) Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

አንቀጽ: 111

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

(111) Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

አንቀጽ: 112

وَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِإِسۡحَٰقَ نَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

(112) And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.^[1299]

[1299]- This verifies that the firstborn son who was to be sacrificed was Ishmael and not Isaac, as claimed by the Jews and Christians.

አንቀጽ: 113

وَبَٰرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسۡحَٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنٞ وَظَالِمٞ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِينٞ

(113) And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself [i.e., sinner].

አንቀጽ: 114

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

(114) And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.

አንቀጽ: 115

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

(115) And We saved them and their people from the great affliction,

አንቀጽ: 116

وَنَصَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

(116) And We supported them so it was they who overcame.

አንቀጽ: 117

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِينَ

(117) And We gave them the explicit Scripture [i.e., the Torah],

አንቀጽ: 118

وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ

(118) And We guided them on the straight path.

አንቀጽ: 119

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

(119) And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations:

አንቀጽ: 120

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

(120) "Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

አንቀጽ: 121

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

(121) Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

አንቀጽ: 122

إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

(122) Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.

አንቀጽ: 123

وَإِنَّ إِلۡيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

(123) And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,

አንቀጽ: 124

إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

(124) When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allāh?

አንቀጽ: 125

أَتَدۡعُونَ بَعۡلٗا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ

(125) Do you call upon Baʿl^[1300] and leave the best of creators -

[1300]- The name of a great idol worshipped by the people and said to mean "lord."

አንቀጽ: 126

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

(126) Allāh, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?"

አንቀጽ: 127

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

(127) And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],

አንቀጽ: 128

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

(128) Except the chosen servants of Allāh.

አንቀጽ: 129

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

(129) And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

አንቀጽ: 130

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلۡ يَاسِينَ

(130) "Peace upon Elias."^[1301]

[1301]- Ilyāseen is said by some commentators to be a plural form, meaning "Elias and those who followed him."

አንቀጽ: 131

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

(131) Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

አንቀጽ: 132

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

(132) Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

አንቀጽ: 133

وَإِنَّ لُوطٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

(133) And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.

አንቀጽ: 134

إِذۡ نَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

(134) [So mention] when We saved him and his family, all,

አንቀጽ: 135

إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ

(135) Except an old woman [i.e., his wife] among those who remained [with the evildoers].

አንቀጽ: 136

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

(136) Then We destroyed the others.

አንቀጽ: 137

وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِينَ

(137) And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

አንቀጽ: 138

وَبِٱلَّيۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

(138) And at night. Then will you not use reason?

አንቀጽ: 139

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

(139) And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.

አንቀጽ: 140

إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ

(140) [Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.

አንቀጽ: 141

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِينَ

(141) And he drew lots^[1302] and was among the losers.

[1302]- To determine who would be cast overboard in order to save the other passengers. Having been overloaded, the ship was on the verge of sinking.

አንቀጽ: 142

فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ

(142) Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.^[1303]

[1303]- For having given up hope on his people prematurely and having left them without permission from Allāh.

አንቀጽ: 143

فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ

(143) And had he not been of those who exalt Allāh,

አንቀጽ: 144

لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطۡنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ

(144) He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.^[1304]

[1304]- Meaning that the belly of the fish would have become his grave.

አንቀጽ: 145

۞ فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ

(145) But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.

አንቀጽ: 146

وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ

(146) And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.^[1305]

[1305]- Which is known to give cooling shade and to be a repellent of flies.

አንቀጽ: 147

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ

(147) And We sent him^[1306] to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.

[1306]- i.e., returned him thereafter.

አንቀጽ: 148

فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ

(148) And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.

አንቀጽ: 149

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ

(149) So inquire of them, [O Muḥammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?^[1307]

[1307]- The people of Makkah claimed that the angels were daughters of Allāh, yet they preferred sons for themselves.

አንቀጽ: 150

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ

(150) Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"

አንቀጽ: 151

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ

(151) Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,

አንቀጽ: 152

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

(152) "Allāh has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.

አንቀጽ: 153

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ

(153) Has He chosen daughters over sons?

አንቀጽ: 154

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ

(154) What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?

አንቀጽ: 155

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

(155) Then will you not be reminded?

አንቀጽ: 156

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ

(156) Or do you have a clear authority?^[1308]

[1308]- i.e., evidence.

አንቀጽ: 157

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

(157) Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.

አንቀጽ: 158

وَجَعَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُۥ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

(158) And they have made [i.e., claimed] between Him and the jinn a lineage, but the jinn have already known that they [who made such claims] will be brought [to punishment].

አንቀጽ: 159

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

(159) Exalted is Allāh above what they describe,

አንቀጽ: 160

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

(160) Except the chosen servants of Allāh [who do not share in that sin].

አንቀጽ: 161

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

(161) So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,

አንቀጽ: 162

مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ

(162) You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

አንቀጽ: 163

إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

(163) Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.^[1309]

[1309]- Due to his disbelief and evil deeds.

አንቀጽ: 164

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

(164) [The angels say],^[1310] "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.^[1311]

[1310]- Refuting what the disbelievers had said about them.
[1311]- For worship. Or "an assigned task" to perform.

አንቀጽ: 165

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

(165) And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].

አንቀጽ: 166

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ

(166) And indeed, we are those who exalt Allāh."

አንቀጽ: 167

وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ

(167) And indeed, they [i.e., the disbelievers] used to say,^[1312]

[1312]- Before the revelation of the Qur’ān.

አንቀጽ: 168

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

(168) "If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,

አንቀጽ: 169

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

(169) We would have been the chosen servants of Allāh."

አንቀጽ: 170

فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ

(170) But they disbelieved in it,^[1313] so they are going to know.

[1313]- i.e., in their own message, the Qur’ān.

አንቀጽ: 171

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

(171) And Our word [i.e., decree] has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,

አንቀጽ: 172

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ

(172) [That] indeed, they would be those given victory

አንቀጽ: 173

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

(173) And [that] indeed, Our soldiers [i.e., the believers] will be those who overcome.^[1314]

[1314]- If not in this world, then definitely in the Hereafter.

አንቀጽ: 174

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

(174) So, [O Muḥammad], leave them for a time.

አንቀጽ: 175

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

(175) And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.

አንቀጽ: 176

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

(176) Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

አንቀጽ: 177

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

(177) But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.

አንቀጽ: 178

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

(178) And leave them for a time.

አንቀጽ: 179

وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

(179) And see, for they are going to see.

አንቀጽ: 180

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

(180) Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.

አንቀጽ: 181

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

(181) And peace upon the messengers.

አንቀጽ: 182

وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

(182) And praise to Allāh, Lord of the worlds.
