(11) Then inquire of them, [O Muḥammad], "Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?" Indeed, We created them [i.e., men] from sticky clay.

Ayə: 12

بَلۡ عَجِبۡتَ وَيَسۡخَرُونَ

Ayə: 17

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

(22) [The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds,^[1289] and what they used to worship

[1289]- Those similar to them in evil deeds. Another possible meaning is "their wives."

Ayə: 23

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهۡدُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

Ayə: 25

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ

(25) [They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?"

Ayə: 26

بَلۡ هُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ مُسۡتَسۡلِمُونَ

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

Ayə: 27

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ تَأۡتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

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

[1290]- i.e., from our position of strength, oppressing us. Or from where we would have grasped the truth, preventing us.

Ayə: 29

قَالُواْ بَل لَّمۡ تَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

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

Ayə: 30

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيۡكُم مِّن سُلۡطَٰنِۭۖ بَلۡ كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمٗا طَٰغِينَ

(30) And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.

Ayə: 31

فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡنَا قَوۡلُ رَبِّنَآۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ

Ayə: 42

فَوَٰكِهُ وَهُم مُّكۡرَمُونَ

(47) No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated.

Ayə: 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.

Ayə: 66

فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَأٓكِلُونَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ

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

Ayə: 67

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبٗا مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

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

Ayə: 69

إِنَّهُمۡ أَلۡفَوۡاْ ءَابَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّينَ

(69) Indeed they found their fathers astray.

Ayə: 70

فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُونَ

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

Ayə: 71

وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

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

Ayə: 72

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ

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

Ayə: 73

فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

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

Ayə: 74

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

(74) But not the chosen servants of Allāh.

Ayə: 75

وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٞ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِيبُونَ

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

Ayə: 76

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

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

Ayə: 77

وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ

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

Ayə: 78

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

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

Ayə: 79

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٖ فِي ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

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

Ayə: 80

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

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

Ayə: 81

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

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

Ayə: 82

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

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

Ayə: 83

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

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

Ayə: 84

إِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٍ

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

Ayə: 85

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

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

Ayə: 86

أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

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

Ayə: 87

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

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

Ayə: 88

فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ

(88) And he cast a look at the stars

Ayə: 89

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ

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

Ayə: 90

فَتَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِينَ

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

Ayə: 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.

Ayə: 92

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

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

Ayə: 93

فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ

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

Ayə: 94

فَأَقۡبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّونَ

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

Ayə: 95

قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ

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

Ayə: 96

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

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

Ayə: 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."

Ayə: 98

فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ

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

Ayə: 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.

Ayə: 100

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

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

Ayə: 101

فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ

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

Ayə: 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.

Ayə: 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.

Ayə: 104

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ

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

Ayə: 105

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

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

Ayə: 106

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ

(106) Indeed, this was the clear trial.

Ayə: 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.

Ayə: 108

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

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

Ayə: 109

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

(109) "Peace upon Abraham."

Ayə: 110

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

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

Ayə: 111

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

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

Ayə: 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.

Ayə: 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].

Ayə: 114

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

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

Ayə: 115

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

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

Ayə: 116

وَنَصَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

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

Ayə: 117

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِينَ

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

Ayə: 118

وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ

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

Ayə: 119

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

(120) "Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

Ayə: 121

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

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

Ayə: 122

إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

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

Ayə: 123

وَإِنَّ إِلۡيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

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

Ayə: 124

إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

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

Ayə: 127

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

(128) Except the chosen servants of Allāh.

Ayə: 129

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

Ayə: 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."

Ayə: 138

وَبِٱلَّيۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

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

Ayə: 139

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

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

Ayə: 140

إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ

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

Ayə: 141

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِينَ

[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.

Ayə: 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.

Ayə: 143

فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ

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

Ayə: 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.

Ayə: 145

۞ فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ

Ayə: 148

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

Ayə: 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.

Ayə: 150

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ

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

Ayə: 151

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ

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

Ayə: 152

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

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

Ayə: 153

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ

(155) Then will you not be reminded?

Ayə: 156

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ

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

[1308]- i.e., evidence.

Ayə: 157

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

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

Ayə: 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].

Ayə: 159

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

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

Ayə: 161

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

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

Ayə: 162

مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ

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

Ayə: 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.

Ayə: 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.

Ayə: 165

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

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

Ayə: 166

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ

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

Ayə: 167

وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ

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

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

Ayə: 168

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

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

Ayə: 169

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

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

Ayə: 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.

Ayə: 171

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

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

Ayə: 172

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ

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

Ayə: 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.

Ayə: 174

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

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

Ayə: 175

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

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

Ayə: 176

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

(176) Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

Ayə: 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.

Ayə: 178

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

(178) And leave them for a time.

Ayə: 179

وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

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

Ayə: 180

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Ayə: 181

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

(181) And peace upon the messengers.
