1 : 11

الٓرۚ كِتَٰبٌ أُحۡكِمَتۡ ءَايَٰتُهُۥ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتۡ مِن لَّدُنۡ حَكِيمٍ خَبِيرٍ

1. Alif Laam Ra ^[1].(This is) a Book, whose Verses have been perfected, then explained in detail from One Who is All-Wise, All-Aware.

[1]. See footnote to Qur’an chapter2: Verse1.

2 : 11

أَلَّا تَعۡبُدُوٓاْ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَۚ إِنَّنِي لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِيرٞ وَبَشِيرٞ

2. (Clearly stating) that: You (people) should Worship none but Allāh only. I (Muhammad) am a warner to you from Him and a giver of good news.

3 : 11

وَأَنِ ٱسۡتَغۡفِرُواْ رَبَّكُمۡ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يُمَتِّعۡكُم مَّتَٰعًا حَسَنًا إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٖ مُّسَمّٗى وَيُؤۡتِ كُلَّ ذِي فَضۡلٖ فَضۡلَهُۥۖ وَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَإِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٖ كَبِيرٍ

3. And (saying) that, seek forgiveness from your Lord 'Allāh', then turn to Him (in repentance); He will let you enjoy fair enjoyment (with a goodly provision) until an appointed term, and will give His 'abundant' grace on all who have virtues. But if you turn away, then I fear for you the torment of a great Day.

4 : 11

إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٌ

4. To Allāh is your return, and He has full Power over all things.

5 : 11

أَلَآ إِنَّهُمۡ يَثۡنُونَ صُدُورَهُمۡ لِيَسۡتَخۡفُواْ مِنۡهُۚ أَلَا حِينَ يَسۡتَغۡشُونَ ثِيَابَهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعۡلِنُونَۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ

5. Undoubtedly, they (the unbelievers) fold up what is in their chests that they may conceal from Him. Undoubtedly! When they cover themselves with their garments (in order not to see or hear), He knows what they conceal or reveal. Surely, He is All-Knower of what is in the chests.

6 : 11

۞ وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٖ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رِزۡقُهَا وَيَعۡلَمُ مُسۡتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسۡتَوۡدَعَهَاۚ كُلّٞ فِي كِتَٰبٖ مُّبِينٖ

6. There is no moving creature on earth but upon Allāh is its provision, He knows its dwelling place and its place of storage ^[2]. All is in a clear Record.

[2]. in the uterus and in its grave, etc.

7 : 11

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ وَكَانَ عَرۡشُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلۡمَآءِ لِيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ أَيُّكُمۡ أَحۡسَنُ عَمَلٗاۗ وَلَئِن قُلۡتَ إِنَّكُم مَّبۡعُوثُونَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلۡمَوۡتِ لَيَقُولَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٞ

7. It is He (Allāh) Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days and His Throne was over the water, in order to test you 'and thus to make manifest' which of you is best in conduct. If you (Muhammad) say: "You will certainly be resurrected after death," those who deny 'the Truth' will certainly say:"This is nothing but plain magic."

8 : 11

وَلَئِنۡ أَخَّرۡنَا عَنۡهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٖ مَّعۡدُودَةٖ لَّيَقُولُنَّ مَا يَحۡبِسُهُۥٓۗ أَلَا يَوۡمَ يَأۡتِيهِمۡ لَيۡسَ مَصۡرُوفًا عَنۡهُمۡ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

8. If We delay the torment from them for an appointed time, they will certainly say: "What detains it?" Undoubtedly, on the Day when it comes to them, it will not be averted from them, and they will be encompassed by what they used to mock.

9 : 11

وَلَئِنۡ أَذَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِنَّا رَحۡمَةٗ ثُمَّ نَزَعۡنَٰهَا مِنۡهُ إِنَّهُۥ لَيَـُٔوسٞ كَفُورٞ

9. If We make man taste Mercy from Us, then remove it from him, he is utterly despairing, ungrateful.

10 : 11

وَلَئِنۡ أَذَقۡنَٰهُ نَعۡمَآءَ بَعۡدَ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتۡهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ ذَهَبَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتُ عَنِّيٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَفَرِحٞ فَخُورٌ

10. But if We let him taste a favor after some hardship has touched him, he will surely say: "The ills have gone from me." Indeed, He is totally exultant and boastful;

11 : 11

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُم مَّغۡفِرَةٞ وَأَجۡرٞ كَبِيرٞ

11. Except those who patiently endure and do good deeds, these will have forgiveness and a great reward.

12 : 11

فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكُۢ بَعۡضَ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيۡكَ وَضَآئِقُۢ بِهِۦ صَدۡرُكَ أَن يَقُولُواْ لَوۡلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ كَنزٌ أَوۡ جَآءَ مَعَهُۥ مَلَكٌۚ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ نَذِيرٞۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ وَكِيلٌ

12. Then, it may be that you would leave some of what is revealed to you (Muhammad) and your chest feels straitened by it, because they say: "Why has not a treasure been sent down upon him or an angel come with him?" You are only a warner. Allāh is a Disposer of all things.

13 : 11

أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ ٱفۡتَرَىٰهُۖ قُلۡ فَأۡتُواْ بِعَشۡرِ سُوَرٖ مِّثۡلِهِۦ مُفۡتَرَيَٰتٖ وَٱدۡعُواْ مَنِ ٱسۡتَطَعۡتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

13. Or, do they say: He (Muhammad) has invented it (this Qur’an). Say: "Bring then ten invented chapters 'of the Qur’an' like it and call upon whom you can other than Allāh 'to help you', if what you say is true."

14 : 11

فَإِلَّمۡ يَسۡتَجِيبُواْ لَكُمۡ فَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّمَآ أُنزِلَ بِعِلۡمِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَن لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ فَهَلۡ أَنتُم مُّسۡلِمُونَ

14. But if they (the disbelievers) do not respond to you, then know that (this Qur’an) has been only sent down with the Knowledge of Allāh, and that there is no god 'worthy of worship' except Him. Will you then, submit yourselves to Him ^[3]?

[3]. I.e., after having been convinced by such evidence. Everyone who believes that there is no god except Allāh and that Muhammad is His Messenger, is safe. Only by belief in Allāh and Mohammad as His last messenger can we receive salvation. Not only knowledge about Allāh, but deep, sincere faith, demonstrated by following the Qur’an and the teachings of prophet Muhammad, God's last and final messenger.

15 : 11

مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَزِينَتَهَا نُوَفِّ إِلَيۡهِمۡ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ فِيهَا وَهُمۡ فِيهَا لَا يُبۡخَسُونَ

15. Whoever desires (only) this worldly life and its adornment, We shall pay them in full their deeds in it, and they will not be deprived of their just due therein.

16 : 11

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَيۡسَ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ إِلَّا ٱلنَّارُۖ وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُواْ فِيهَا وَبَٰطِلٞ مَّا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ

16. These are the ones for whom there is nothing in the Hereafter but the Fire - worthless is what they did (of good deeds) in it (the world), and vain is what they used to do ^[4].

[4]. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “Allāh would not deal a believer unjustly even (as to) a single good deed. He will be given for it in this worldly life and rewarded for it in the Hereafter. But the denier will be fed the rewards of his good deeds in this worldly life until when he comes upon the Hereafter there will be nothing for him to be rewarded for.”

17 : 11

أَفَمَن كَانَ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ وَيَتۡلُوهُ شَاهِدٞ مِّنۡهُ وَمِن قَبۡلِهِۦ كِتَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِمَامٗا وَرَحۡمَةًۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦۚ وَمَن يَكۡفُرۡ بِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابِ فَٱلنَّارُ مَوۡعِدُهُۥۚ فَلَا تَكُ فِي مِرۡيَةٖ مِّنۡهُۚ إِنَّهُ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ

17.  So, is he who has a clear proof from his Lord, and a witness from Him recites it ^[5] (equal to a disbeliever)? And before him is the Scripture of Moses as a guide and mercy. These believe in it. But whoever of the different parties (Jews, Christians, and all other nations) denies it 'the Qur’an', the Hellfire will be their promised meeting place, so be not in doubt about it. It is the Truth from your Lord, but most people do not believe.

[5]. I.e , The Qur’an.

18 : 11

وَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًاۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يُعۡرَضُونَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡأَشۡهَٰدُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَبُواْ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡۚ أَلَا لَعۡنَةُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

18.Who is more unjust than he who invents a lie about Allāh? These will be presented before their Lord, and the witnesses will say: "These are the ones who lied against their Lord." Certainly Allah’s Curse is upon the workers of iniquity.

19 : 11

ٱلَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَبۡغُونَهَا عِوَجٗا وَهُم بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمۡ كَٰفِرُونَ

19. Who turn away (people) from the Path of Allāh, seek to make it appear crooked; while they themselves of the Hereafter they are disbelievers.

20 : 11

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَمۡ يَكُونُواْ مُعۡجِزِينَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِنۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَۘ يُضَٰعَفُ لَهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُۚ مَا كَانُواْ يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَمَا كَانُواْ يُبۡصِرُونَ

20. These could not be (able to) escape on earth', nor could there be for them protectors against Allāh; the torment will be doubled for them, They could not bear to hear (the preachers of the truth) and they used not to see ^[6].

[6]. The truth, because of their severe aversion, inspite of the fact that they had the sense of hearing and sight.

21 : 11

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ وَضَلَّ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ

21. These are the ones who have lost themselves, and what they invented (of false deities) has deserted them.

22 : 11

لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلۡأَخۡسَرُونَ

22. No doubt, in the Hereafter they are the greatest losers.

23 : 11

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَأَخۡبَتُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَنَّةِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ

23. Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds, and humble themselves before their Lord 'Allāh', these are the occupants of Paradise, they will abide therein forever.

24 : 11

۞ مَثَلُ ٱلۡفَرِيقَيۡنِ كَٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ وَٱلۡأَصَمِّ وَٱلۡبَصِيرِ وَٱلسَّمِيعِۚ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِيَانِ مَثَلًاۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

24. The example of the two parties like the blind and the deaf, and the seeing and the hearing: Are they equal? Will you not then heed?

25 : 11

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦٓ إِنِّي لَكُمۡ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٌ

25. Indeed, We sent Noah to his people 'saying': "I am to you a clear warner;

26 : 11

أَن لَّا تَعۡبُدُوٓاْ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَۖ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ أَلِيمٖ

26. That you worship none but Allāh only. Indeed, I fear for you the torment of a Painful Day."

27 : 11

فَقَالَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَوۡمِهِۦ مَا نَرَىٰكَ إِلَّا بَشَرٗا مِّثۡلَنَا وَمَا نَرَىٰكَ ٱتَّبَعَكَ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ أَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِيَ ٱلرَّأۡيِ وَمَا نَرَىٰ لَكُمۡ عَلَيۡنَا مِن فَضۡلِۭ بَلۡ نَظُنُّكُمۡ كَٰذِبِينَ

27. But the eminent ones of those who denied 'the Truth' from among his people said: "We see you but a man like ourselves, and we see you that only the lowliest among us have followed you 'and they did so' without thinking, and we do not see in you any excellence over us; rather, we think you are liars."

28 : 11

قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّي وَءَاتَىٰنِي رَحۡمَةٗ مِّنۡ عِندِهِۦ فَعُمِّيَتۡ عَلَيۡكُمۡ أَنُلۡزِمُكُمُوهَا وَأَنتُمۡ لَهَا كَٰرِهُونَ

28. 'Noah' said: "My people, tell me if I have with me clear proof from my Lord (Allāh), and He has granted me Mercy from Himself, but it has been made obscure to you; shall we force you to 'accept' it while you are averse to it?

29 : 11

وَيَٰقَوۡمِ لَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مَالًاۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْۚ إِنَّهُم مُّلَٰقُواْ رَبِّهِمۡ وَلَٰكِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰكُمۡ قَوۡمٗا تَجۡهَلُونَ

29. My people, I ask you not for wealth in return for it; my reward is only with Allāh, and I am not going to send away those who believe; they will certainly meet their Lord, but I see that you are a people behaving ignorantly:

30 : 11

وَيَٰقَوۡمِ مَن يَنصُرُنِي مِنَ ٱللَّهِ إِن طَرَدتُّهُمۡۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

30. My people, who will help me against Allāh if I send them away? Will you not then heed?

31 : 11

وَلَآ أَقُولُ لَكُمۡ عِندِي خَزَآئِنُ ٱللَّهِ وَلَآ أَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبَ وَلَآ أَقُولُ إِنِّي مَلَكٞ وَلَآ أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزۡدَرِيٓ أَعۡيُنُكُمۡ لَن يُؤۡتِيَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ خَيۡرًاۖ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ إِنِّيٓ إِذٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

31. I do not say to you that I have the treasures of Allāh or that I know the unseen, nor do I say that I am an angel, nor do I say about those whom your eyes hold in mean estimation that Allāh will never grant them any good - Allāh knows best what is in their inner-selves 'and were I to speak such' -then I should be of the unjust.'

32 : 11

قَالُواْ يَٰنُوحُ قَدۡ جَٰدَلۡتَنَا فَأَكۡثَرۡتَ جِدَٰلَنَا فَأۡتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

32. They said: "O Noah, Indeed you have already disputed with us and so you made much disputation with us, so bring to us what you threaten us with - if you are of the truthful!"

33 : 11

قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَأۡتِيكُم بِهِ ٱللَّهُ إِن شَآءَ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعۡجِزِينَ

33. He said: "Allāh will only bring it upon you if He wills, and you cannot escape".

34 : 11

وَلَا يَنفَعُكُمۡ نُصۡحِيٓ إِنۡ أَرَدتُّ أَنۡ أَنصَحَ لَكُمۡ إِن كَانَ ٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يُغۡوِيَكُمۡۚ هُوَ رَبُّكُمۡ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ

34. My advice will not benefit you, if I intend that i should give good advise to you, if Allāh has been desiring that He leave you astray (because of your arrogance and persistence in sin); He is your Lord, and to Him you will be all returned (for Judgment).

35 : 11

أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ ٱفۡتَرَىٰهُۖ قُلۡ إِنِ ٱفۡتَرَيۡتُهُۥ فَعَلَيَّ إِجۡرَامِي وَأَنَا۠ بَرِيٓءٞ مِّمَّا تُجۡرِمُونَ

35. Or do they say: "He (Muhammad) has invented it (this Qur’an)?" Say: "If I have invented it, then upon me is my crime, and I am clear of what you commit of crimes."

36 : 11

وَأُوحِيَ إِلَىٰ نُوحٍ أَنَّهُۥ لَن يُؤۡمِنَ مِن قَوۡمِكَ إِلَّا مَن قَدۡ ءَامَنَ فَلَا تَبۡتَئِسۡ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفۡعَلُونَ

36. It was revealed to Noah: "That none of your people will believe except those who have already believed, so do not grieve by what they have been doing."

37 : 11

وَٱصۡنَعِ ٱلۡفُلۡكَ بِأَعۡيُنِنَا وَوَحۡيِنَا وَلَا تُخَٰطِبۡنِي فِي ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓاْ إِنَّهُم مُّغۡرَقُونَ

37. Make the ship under Our Eyes and 'according to' Our Inspiration, and do not speak to Me in respect of those who are unjust; they will surely be drowned.

38 : 11

وَيَصۡنَعُ ٱلۡفُلۡكَ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيۡهِ مَلَأٞ مِّن قَوۡمِهِۦ سَخِرُواْ مِنۡهُۚ قَالَ إِن تَسۡخَرُواْ مِنَّا فَإِنَّا نَسۡخَرُ مِنكُمۡ كَمَا تَسۡخَرُونَ

38. And he (was) making the Ark, and whenever the chiefs of his people passed by it, they ridiculed him. (Noah) said, “If you mock us, then indeed we too will mock you just as you mock.”

39 : 11

فَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ مَن يَأۡتِيهِ عَذَابٞ يُخۡزِيهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيۡهِ عَذَابٞ مُّقِيمٌ

39. You will soon come to know who it is on whom will come a torment which will disgrace him, and on whom will alight a lasting torment."

40 : 11

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَمۡرُنَا وَفَارَ ٱلتَّنُّورُ قُلۡنَا ٱحۡمِلۡ فِيهَا مِن كُلّٖ زَوۡجَيۡنِ ٱثۡنَيۡنِ وَأَهۡلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ وَمَنۡ ءَامَنَۚ وَمَآ ءَامَنَ مَعَهُۥٓ إِلَّا قَلِيلٞ

40. (Thus it was) until when Our Command came and the oven overflowed ^[7], We said: "Carry therein two of every kind, a pair  (male and female), and your own family - except those against whom the Word has already gone forth - and whomever has believed." And none believed with him except a few.

 [7]. I.e., the earth gushed forth its springs.

41 : 11

۞ وَقَالَ ٱرۡكَبُواْ فِيهَا بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ مَجۡر۪ىٰهَا وَمُرۡسَىٰهَآۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي لَغَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

41. (Noah) said: "Embark therein, in the Name of Allāh is its sailing and its anchoring. My Lord is certainly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

42 : 11

وَهِيَ تَجۡرِي بِهِمۡ فِي مَوۡجٖ كَٱلۡجِبَالِ وَنَادَىٰ نُوحٌ ٱبۡنَهُۥ وَكَانَ فِي مَعۡزِلٖ يَٰبُنَيَّ ٱرۡكَب مَّعَنَا وَلَا تَكُن مَّعَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

42. And so it sailed with them amid waves like mountains; and Noah called out to his son and he was aloof: "O my son, Embark with us and do not be with the deniers."

43 : 11

قَالَ سَـَٔاوِيٓ إِلَىٰ جَبَلٖ يَعۡصِمُنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمَآءِۚ قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ مِنۡ أَمۡرِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَۚ وَحَالَ بَيۡنَهُمَا ٱلۡمَوۡجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُغۡرَقِينَ

43. (His son) said: "I will betake myself to a mountain that will protect me from the water." Noah said: "There is no protector today from Allah’s Command except him on whom He has Mercy"; and the wave intervened between them, and he was of the drowned.

44 : 11

وَقِيلَ يَٰٓأَرۡضُ ٱبۡلَعِي مَآءَكِ وَيَٰسَمَآءُ أَقۡلِعِي وَغِيضَ ٱلۡمَآءُ وَقُضِيَ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ وَٱسۡتَوَتۡ عَلَى ٱلۡجُودِيِّۖ وَقِيلَ بُعۡدٗا لِّلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

44.It was said: "O earth, swallow up your water, and O sky, cease (your rain)." And the water made to subside, and the matter was concluded, (and the Ship) leveled itself on mount Judi, and it was said: "Away with the unjust people."

45 : 11

وَنَادَىٰ نُوحٞ رَّبَّهُۥ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ ٱبۡنِي مِنۡ أَهۡلِي وَإِنَّ وَعۡدَكَ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَأَنتَ أَحۡكَمُ ٱلۡحَٰكِمِينَ

45. Noah called out to his Lord 'Allāh' and said: "My Lord, indeed my son is 'also' of my family, and Your Promise is always true, and You are the Most Just of Judges."

46 : 11

قَالَ يَٰنُوحُ إِنَّهُۥ لَيۡسَ مِنۡ أَهۡلِكَۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَمَلٌ غَيۡرُ صَٰلِحٖۖ فَلَا تَسۡـَٔلۡنِ مَا لَيۡسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلۡمٌۖ إِنِّيٓ أَعِظُكَ أَن تَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجَٰهِلِينَ

46. (Allāh) said: "O Noah, he is certainly not of your family; he is of an unrighteous conduct, so do not ask Me that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, I admonish you, lest you be of the ignorants."

47 : 11

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّيٓ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنۡ أَسۡـَٔلَكَ مَا لَيۡسَ لِي بِهِۦ عِلۡمٞۖ وَإِلَّا تَغۡفِرۡ لِي وَتَرۡحَمۡنِيٓ أَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ

47. "Noah' said: "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from asking You about what I have no knowledge of; unless you forgive me and have mercy on me, I will be among the losers.

48 : 11

قِيلَ يَٰنُوحُ ٱهۡبِطۡ بِسَلَٰمٖ مِّنَّا وَبَرَكَٰتٍ عَلَيۡكَ وَعَلَىٰٓ أُمَمٖ مِّمَّن مَّعَكَۚ وَأُمَمٞ سَنُمَتِّعُهُمۡ ثُمَّ يَمَسُّهُم مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ

48. It was said: "O Noah, descend with peace from Us and blessings on you and some of the nations of those who are with you, and (to other) nations whom We will soon allow them to enjoy life (for a while), then will touch them from Us a painful torment."

49 : 11

تِلۡكَ مِنۡ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ نُوحِيهَآ إِلَيۡكَۖ مَا كُنتَ تَعۡلَمُهَآ أَنتَ وَلَا قَوۡمُكَ مِن قَبۡلِ هَٰذَاۖ فَٱصۡبِرۡۖ إِنَّ ٱلۡعَٰقِبَةَ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ

49. These are of the news relating to the unseen which We reveal to you. You did not know them, 'neither' you (Muhammad) nor your people before this, so be patient. The 'good' outcome is indeed for the righteous.

50 : 11

وَإِلَىٰ عَادٍ أَخَاهُمۡ هُودٗاۚ قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥٓۖ إِنۡ أَنتُمۡ إِلَّا مُفۡتَرُونَ

50. To ‘Aad (people, We sent) their brother Hud. He said: "My people, worship Allāh alone, you have no god 'worthy of worship' other than Him; you are but inventors of falsehood."

51 : 11

يَٰقَوۡمِ لَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ أَجۡرًاۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱلَّذِي فَطَرَنِيٓۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

51. O my people, I do not ask of you any reward for it 'the Message'. My reward is only with (Allāh) Who created me - do you not use your reason?

52 : 11

وَيَٰقَوۡمِ ٱسۡتَغۡفِرُواْ رَبَّكُمۡ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يُرۡسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّدۡرَارٗا وَيَزِدۡكُمۡ قُوَّةً إِلَىٰ قُوَّتِكُمۡ وَلَا تَتَوَلَّوۡاْ مُجۡرِمِينَ

52. O my people, ask Forgiveness of your Lord, then repent to Him; He will send on you clouds pouring down an abundance of rain, and add strength to your strength, and do not turn away as criminals.

53 : 11

قَالُواْ يَٰهُودُ مَا جِئۡتَنَا بِبَيِّنَةٖ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِتَارِكِيٓ ءَالِهَتِنَا عَن قَوۡلِكَ وَمَا نَحۡنُ لَكَ بِمُؤۡمِنِينَ

53. They said: "O Hud, you have not brought to us any clear evidence (that you are a Prophet) and we are not going to desert our gods (idols) for your word, and we are not believers in you;

54 : 11

إِن نَّقُولُ إِلَّا ٱعۡتَرَىٰكَ بَعۡضُ ءَالِهَتِنَا بِسُوٓءٖۗ قَالَ إِنِّيٓ أُشۡهِدُ ٱللَّهَ وَٱشۡهَدُوٓاْ أَنِّي بَرِيٓءٞ مِّمَّا تُشۡرِكُونَ

54. We say nothing but that some of our gods have possessed you with some evil." He said: "I call Allāh to witness, and do you bear witness too, that I am clear of all that you associate with Him (in worship) as partners,

55 : 11

مِن دُونِهِۦۖ فَكِيدُونِي جَمِيعٗا ثُمَّ لَا تُنظِرُونِ

55. Besides Him, so plot against me, all of you; then give me no respite;

56 : 11

إِنِّي تَوَكَّلۡتُ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رَبِّي وَرَبِّكُمۚ مَّا مِن دَآبَّةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ ءَاخِذُۢ بِنَاصِيَتِهَآۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ

56. I have put my trust on Allāh - my Lord and your Lord. There is no moving creature but He holds it by its forelock (and is under His complete control). Indeed, my Lord (Allāh) is just and upright 'without iniquity' ^[8].”

[8]. I.e., A God of faithfulness and without iniquity. He is just, upright, wise, and upon a right course in all matters.

57 : 11

فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَقَدۡ أَبۡلَغۡتُكُم مَّآ أُرۡسِلۡتُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَيۡكُمۡۚ وَيَسۡتَخۡلِفُ رَبِّي قَوۡمًا غَيۡرَكُمۡ وَلَا تَضُرُّونَهُۥ شَيۡـًٔاۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٍ حَفِيظٞ

57. But if you turn away, then I have conveyed to you the Message with which I have been sent to you, and my Lord 'Allāh' will replace you with other people than you, and you cannot do Him any harm. My Lord is indeed the Preserver of all things.

58 : 11

وَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمۡرُنَا نَجَّيۡنَا هُودٗا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحۡمَةٖ مِّنَّا وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُم مِّنۡ عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٖ

58. When Our decree came to pass, We delivered Hud and those who believed with him, as a Mercy from Us, and We delivered them from a harsh torment.

59 : 11

وَتِلۡكَ عَادٞۖ جَحَدُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَعَصَوۡاْ رُسُلَهُۥ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓاْ أَمۡرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٖ

59. And that was (the people of) ‘Aad. They rejected the Signs of their Lord 'Allāh', and disobeyed His messengers and followed the command of every stubborn tyrant.

60 : 11

وَأُتۡبِعُواْ فِي هَٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا لَعۡنَةٗ وَيَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ عَادٗا كَفَرُواْ رَبَّهُمۡۗ أَلَا بُعۡدٗا لِّعَادٖ قَوۡمِ هُودٖ

60. And they were followed in this world with a Curse and on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, Aad certainly disbelieved in their Lord. No doubt, so away with ‘Aad, the people of Hud.

61 : 11

۞ وَإِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمۡ صَٰلِحٗاۚ قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥۖ هُوَ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَٱسۡتَعۡمَرَكُمۡ فِيهَا فَٱسۡتَغۡفِرُوهُ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي قَرِيبٞ مُّجِيبٞ

61. To (the people of) Thamud (We sent) their brother Salih. He said: "My people, worship Allāh alone, you have no god (worthy of worship) other than Him. It is He Who has created you from the earth, and has made you settle therein 'to develop it'. So ask His forgiveness then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord 'Allāh' is Near, Answering (the prayers).

62 : 11

قَالُواْ يَٰصَٰلِحُ قَدۡ كُنتَ فِينَا مَرۡجُوّٗا قَبۡلَ هَٰذَآۖ أَتَنۡهَىٰنَآ أَن نَّعۡبُدَ مَا يَعۡبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَإِنَّنَا لَفِي شَكّٖ مِّمَّا تَدۡعُونَآ إِلَيۡهِ مُرِيبٖ

62. They said: "O Salih, We used to have such great hopes in you before this. Do you (now) forbid us from worshiping what our fathers worshiped? And we are in grave doubt as to that which you call us to it, suspicious.

63 : 11

قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّي وَءَاتَىٰنِي مِنۡهُ رَحۡمَةٗ فَمَن يَنصُرُنِي مِنَ ٱللَّهِ إِنۡ عَصَيۡتُهُۥۖ فَمَا تَزِيدُونَنِي غَيۡرَ تَخۡسِيرٖ

63. He said: "O my people, tell me if I have clear proof from my Lord, and He has granted to me Mercy from Himself - who will then help me against Allāh if I disobey Him? So you would not increase me except in loss.

64 : 11

وَيَٰقَوۡمِ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةُ ٱللَّهِ لَكُمۡ ءَايَةٗۖ فَذَرُوهَا تَأۡكُلۡ فِيٓ أَرۡضِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٖ فَيَأۡخُذَكُمۡ عَذَابٞ قَرِيبٞ

64. My people, this is thevshe-camel of Allāh, a Sign for you, so leave her feed on Allah’s earth, and do not touch her with harm, else a near torment will seize you.

65 : 11

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعُواْ فِي دَارِكُمۡ ثَلَٰثَةَ أَيَّامٖۖ ذَٰلِكَ وَعۡدٌ غَيۡرُ مَكۡذُوبٖ

65. But they hamstrung her, so he said: "Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days (whereafter you will be destroyed). This is a promise not to be belied."

66 : 11

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمۡرُنَا نَجَّيۡنَا صَٰلِحٗا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحۡمَةٖ مِّنَّا وَمِنۡ خِزۡيِ يَوۡمِئِذٍۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلۡقَوِيُّ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ

66. When Our command came to pass, We delivered Salih and those who believed with him by mercy from Us, and (We saved them) from the disgrace of that Day. Indeed, your Lord 'Allāh' is the All-Strong, the All-Mighty.

67 : 11

وَأَخَذَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ فَأَصۡبَحُواْ فِي دِيَٰرِهِمۡ جَٰثِمِينَ

67. And the (huge) Blast (of God’s punishment) overtook those who were unjust, so they became within their homes (corpses) fallen prone.

68 : 11

كَأَن لَّمۡ يَغۡنَوۡاْ فِيهَآۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ثَمُودَاْ كَفَرُواْ رَبَّهُمۡۗ أَلَا بُعۡدٗا لِّثَمُودَ

68. As if they had never dwelt therein. Unquestionably (The people of) Thamud disbelieved in their Lord. No doubt, so away with Thamud.

69 : 11

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُنَآ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ بِٱلۡبُشۡرَىٰ قَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗاۖ قَالَ سَلَٰمٞۖ فَمَا لَبِثَ أَن جَآءَ بِعِجۡلٍ حَنِيذٖ

69. And certainly Our (angelic) messengers came to Abraham with good news. They said: ‘Peace.’ He answered: ‘Peace.’ And he made no delay in bringing a roasted calf (to entertain his guests).

70 : 11

فَلَمَّا رَءَآ أَيۡدِيَهُمۡ لَا تَصِلُ إِلَيۡهِ نَكِرَهُمۡ وَأَوۡجَسَ مِنۡهُمۡ خِيفَةٗۚ قَالُواْ لَا تَخَفۡ إِنَّآ أُرۡسِلۡنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِ لُوطٖ

70. When he saw that their hands not reaching for it (the meal), he disclaimed them, and sensed fear of them ^[9]. They said: "Fear not, we are (angels) sent to (chastise) Lot’s people."

[9]. He deemed their refraining from accepting his invitation and eating his food as an ill sign of malicious intent. If one turn down a good gesture it means that he does not want peace and is ungrateful.

71 : 11

وَٱمۡرَأَتُهُۥ قَآئِمَةٞ فَضَحِكَتۡ فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهَا بِإِسۡحَٰقَ وَمِن وَرَآءِ إِسۡحَٰقَ يَعۡقُوبَ

71. His spouse standing (nearby), so she laughed ^[10], then We gave her the good news of 'the birth of' Isaac and after Isaac (a grandson) Jacob.

[10]. From a position of concealment, veiled in her hijab. I.e., Sarah. Either, because the messengers did not eat from their food, or for being glad for the destruction of the people of Lot.

72 : 11

قَالَتۡ يَٰوَيۡلَتَىٰٓ ءَأَلِدُ وَأَنَا۠ عَجُوزٞ وَهَٰذَا بَعۡلِي شَيۡخًاۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَيۡءٌ عَجِيبٞ

72. She said: "Oh, woe to me! Shall I give birth and I am an old woman and this my hubbi is an old man? Indeed, this is a strange thing."

73 : 11

قَالُوٓاْ أَتَعۡجَبِينَ مِنۡ أَمۡرِ ٱللَّهِۖ رَحۡمَتُ ٱللَّهِ وَبَرَكَٰتُهُۥ عَلَيۡكُمۡ أَهۡلَ ٱلۡبَيۡتِۚ إِنَّهُۥ حَمِيدٞ مَّجِيدٞ

73. They said: "Do you (O Sarah) wonder at Allah’s decree? The Mercy of Allāh and His blessings are on you, people of the house. He is surely Praiseworthy, Most Glorious."

74 : 11

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنۡ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلرَّوۡعُ وَجَآءَتۡهُ ٱلۡبُشۡرَىٰ يُجَٰدِلُنَا فِي قَوۡمِ لُوطٍ

74. So when (his) dismay had gone away from Abraham and good news came to him, he began to argue with Us for Lot’s people.

75 : 11

إِنَّ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ لَحَلِيمٌ أَوَّٰهٞ مُّنِيبٞ

75. Surely, Abraham is indeed most forbearing, tender-hearted ^[11], and oft-returning to 'God' in repentance.

[11]. I.e., sighing or moaning during supplication out of grief for people and fear of Allāh. Loving others requires more than good intentions and well-wishes—it requires being “devoted to one another, joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer”. It requires being willing to not only “rejoice with those who rejoice” but to “mourn with those who mourn”. It requires all of us. In a broken world, none of us escape unwounded—hurt and scars are deeply embedded in each of us. But deeper still is our love to Allāh and His last and final messenger, the Prophet Muhammad; love tender enough to draw out those thorns with the balm of compassion, willing to embrace both friend and enemy to find healing together until the word of torment proves true only against those who insist in rejecting the truth of Islam.

76 : 11

يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ أَعۡرِضۡ عَنۡ هَٰذَآۖ إِنَّهُۥ قَدۡ جَآءَ أَمۡرُ رَبِّكَۖ وَإِنَّهُمۡ ءَاتِيهِمۡ عَذَابٌ غَيۡرُ مَرۡدُودٖ

76. O Abraham, Turn away from this (pleading)! Indeed, your Lord’s decree has already come to pass: and surely there must be come to them a torment that cannot be repelled.

77 : 11

وَلَمَّا جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُنَا لُوطٗا سِيٓءَ بِهِمۡ وَضَاقَ بِهِمۡ ذَرۡعٗا وَقَالَ هَٰذَا يَوۡمٌ عَصِيبٞ

77. And when Our 'angelic' messengers came to Lot, he was anguished for them, and felt straitened for them, helpless ^[12], and said: "This is a terrible day."

[12]. To offer them protection against his nation’s many violent homosexual men.

78 : 11

وَجَآءَهُۥ قَوۡمُهُۥ يُهۡرَعُونَ إِلَيۡهِ وَمِن قَبۡلُ كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِۚ قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِي هُنَّ أَطۡهَرُ لَكُمۡۖ فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُخۡزُونِ فِي ضَيۡفِيٓۖ أَلَيۡسَ مِنكُمۡ رَجُلٞ رَّشِيدٞ

78. And his people came rushing to him, and since before they used to commit evil deeds. 'Lot' said: "My people, here are my daughters ^[13] they are purer for you (than men), so fear Allāh and do not disgrace me with regard to my guests. Is there not among you (even) one right-minded man?

[13]. Women of our community available for marriage.

79 : 11

قَالُواْ لَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتَ مَا لَنَا فِي بَنَاتِكَ مِنۡ حَقّٖ وَإِنَّكَ لَتَعۡلَمُ مَا نُرِيدُ

79. They said: "You already know that we have no right in your (people's) daughters, and indeed you surely know what we want."

80 : 11

قَالَ لَوۡ أَنَّ لِي بِكُمۡ قُوَّةً أَوۡ ءَاوِيٓ إِلَىٰ رُكۡنٖ شَدِيدٖ

80. (Lot) said: "If only I had power against you, or could take refuge in a strong support.^[14]"

[14]. He thought he lacked the necessary cover of protection, especially that of his own clan. But, in that dire situation, his Protector was none but Allāh Almighty. Mohammad, God's messenger (ﷺ) said: “May Allāh bless Lūṭ; he sought the support of ˹true˺ mighty Backing."

81 : 11

قَالُواْ يَٰلُوطُ إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَن يَصِلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡكَۖ فَأَسۡرِ بِأَهۡلِكَ بِقِطۡعٖ مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَلَا يَلۡتَفِتۡ مِنكُمۡ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا ٱمۡرَأَتَكَۖ إِنَّهُۥ مُصِيبُهَا مَآ أَصَابَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ مَوۡعِدَهُمُ ٱلصُّبۡحُۚ أَلَيۡسَ ٱلصُّبۡحُ بِقَرِيبٖ

81. (The angels) said: "O Lot, we are the messengers of your Lord; they (your enemies) will never reach you. So set out with your family in the dark part of the night ^[15]- and let none of you look back except your wife, Indeed, it will afflict her what will afflict them as well. The appointed time (of their destruction) is the morning. Is not the morning near?

[15]. They made their escape very late at night at the time of saḥar, i.e. when dawn was about to break: “

82 : 11

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمۡرُنَا جَعَلۡنَا عَٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهَا حِجَارَةٗ مِّن سِجِّيلٖ مَّنضُودٖ

82. When Our decree came to pass, We turned it upside down and rained down upon them clustered stones of baked clay tiered, (one after the other).

83 : 11

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَۖ وَمَا هِيَ مِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ بِبَعِيدٖ

83. Marked by your Lord, and these (blows of Allah’s Punishment) are never far from the 'pagan' wrongdoers.

84 : 11

۞ وَإِلَىٰ مَدۡيَنَ أَخَاهُمۡ شُعَيۡبٗاۚ قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥۖ وَلَا تَنقُصُواْ ٱلۡمِكۡيَالَ وَٱلۡمِيزَانَۖ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰكُم بِخَيۡرٖ وَإِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٖ مُّحِيطٖ

84. To Midian (We sent) their brother Shu’aib. He said: "My people, worship Allāh alone, you have no god (worthy of worship) other than Him. Do not give short measure and weight ^[16]: I see you in prosperity, and I fear for you the torment of an all-encompassing Day.

[16]. The cardinal sin of Lot’s people was lust, whereas the people of Shu‘ayb’s major sin was greed, for not being fair in trade and fordealing in usury 'interest', imposing on people illegal taxes, and cheating in the measure and weight.

85 : 11

وَيَٰقَوۡمِ أَوۡفُواْ ٱلۡمِكۡيَالَ وَٱلۡمِيزَانَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِۖ وَلَا تَبۡخَسُواْ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشۡيَآءَهُمۡ وَلَا تَعۡثَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُفۡسِدِينَ

85. O my people, give full measure and weight fairly, do not deprive people of what is rightfully theirs, and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption.

86 : 11

بَقِيَّتُ ٱللَّهِ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَۚ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ عَلَيۡكُم بِحَفِيظٖ

86. What remains (lawful) from Allāh (after giving the dues of others) is better for you ^[17] if you are believers - and I am not a keeper over you.

[17]. Whatever is left after giving full measure is best and purer than what is fraudulently gained.

87 : 11

قَالُواْ يَٰشُعَيۡبُ أَصَلَوٰتُكَ تَأۡمُرُكَ أَن نَّتۡرُكَ مَا يَعۡبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَآ أَوۡ أَن نَّفۡعَلَ فِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِنَا مَا نَشَٰٓؤُاْۖ إِنَّكَ لَأَنتَ ٱلۡحَلِيمُ ٱلرَّشِيدُ

87. They said: "O Shu’aib, does your prayer enjoin you that we should forsake what our fathers used to worship or that we (should leave off) doing what we please with regard to our money? (You would have us believe that) you are indeed the only forbearing, right-minded man!"

88 : 11

قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّي وَرَزَقَنِي مِنۡهُ رِزۡقًا حَسَنٗاۚ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَنۡ أُخَالِفَكُمۡ إِلَىٰ مَآ أَنۡهَىٰكُمۡ عَنۡهُۚ إِنۡ أُرِيدُ إِلَّا ٱلۡإِصۡلَٰحَ مَا ٱسۡتَطَعۡتُۚ وَمَا تَوۡفِيقِيٓ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِۚ عَلَيۡهِ تَوَكَّلۡتُ وَإِلَيۡهِ أُنِيبُ

88. (Shu’aib) said: "O my people, have you considered if I am on a clear Proof from my Lord and He has provided me with a good provision from Him. And I do not want to differ from you (to do) that which I forbid you. I only want reform as much as I can, and my success (in my task) is only from Allāh. On Him (alone) do I rely and to Him do I turn (in repentance)."

89 : 11

وَيَٰقَوۡمِ لَا يَجۡرِمَنَّكُمۡ شِقَاقِيٓ أَن يُصِيبَكُم مِّثۡلُ مَآ أَصَابَ قَوۡمَ نُوحٍ أَوۡ قَوۡمَ هُودٍ أَوۡ قَوۡمَ صَٰلِحٖۚ وَمَا قَوۡمُ لُوطٖ مِّنكُم بِبَعِيدٖ

89. O my people, let not opposition to me make you guilty so that there may befall you the like of what befell the people of Noah, or the people of Hud, or the people of Salih, nor are the people of Lot far off from you;

90 : 11

وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرُواْ رَبَّكُمۡ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي رَحِيمٞ وَدُودٞ

90. And ask forgiveness from your Lord (Allāh), then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is All-Merciful, Loving ^[18].

[18]. Allāh manifests His Love in countless ways. In the sun that rises each day, in bird songs, thirst-quenching water, beauty, color, seasons, sacrifice, generosity, hope, peace, forgiveness, grace, and mercy, and the most important of all by sending His last and final messenger, the Prophet Muhammad.True love to Allāh and His messenger is powerful. True love for them never surrenders, won’t be silenced, and can’t be destroyed. Many waters cannot quench love. Rivers cannot sweep it away. Our strongest love is only a fractured reflection of His powerful love for us. He is the ultimate source of any love that is genuine, any love that holds fast.

91 : 11

قَالُواْ يَٰشُعَيۡبُ مَا نَفۡقَهُ كَثِيرٗا مِّمَّا تَقُولُ وَإِنَّا لَنَرَىٰكَ فِينَا ضَعِيفٗاۖ وَلَوۡلَا رَهۡطُكَ لَرَجَمۡنَٰكَۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيۡنَا بِعَزِيزٖ

91. They said: "O Shu’aib, We do not understand much of what you say, and we certainly see you to be weak among us, and were it not for your clan, we would stone you, and you are not mighty to prevail against us."

92 : 11

قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ أَرَهۡطِيٓ أَعَزُّ عَلَيۡكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَٱتَّخَذۡتُمُوهُ وَرَآءَكُمۡ ظِهۡرِيًّاۖ إِنَّ رَبِّي بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ مُحِيطٞ

92. (Shu’aib) said: "My people! Is my family more esteemed by you than Allāh, and you have taken Him behind your backs? Indeed, my Lord (Allāh) encompasses what you do."

93 : 11

وَيَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡمَلُواْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمۡ إِنِّي عَٰمِلٞۖ سَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ مَن يَأۡتِيهِ عَذَابٞ يُخۡزِيهِ وَمَنۡ هُوَ كَٰذِبٞۖ وَٱرۡتَقِبُوٓاْ إِنِّي مَعَكُمۡ رَقِيبٞ

93. O my people, work (according) to your position, I am working (in God's way); you will come to know soon to whom will come a torment that will disgrace him, and he who is a liar. And wait, indeed, I am with you waiting (the result)."

94 : 11

وَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمۡرُنَا نَجَّيۡنَا شُعَيۡبٗا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحۡمَةٖ مِّنَّا وَأَخَذَتِ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ فَأَصۡبَحُواْ فِي دِيَٰرِهِمۡ جَٰثِمِينَ

94. When Our Command came to pass We delivered Shu’aib, and those who believed with him, as a mercy from Us, and the (mighty) blast seized those who did iniquity, so they became within their homes (corpses) fallen prone.

95 : 11

كَأَن لَّمۡ يَغۡنَوۡاْ فِيهَآۗ أَلَا بُعۡدٗا لِّمَدۡيَنَ كَمَا بَعِدَتۡ ثَمُودُ

95. As though they had never dwelt therein. Unquestionably, away with (the people of) Midian, as it was with Thamud.

96 : 11

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَسُلۡطَٰنٖ مُّبِينٍ

96. Indeed, We sent Moses with Our signs and a clear authority,

97 : 11

إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَمَلَإِيْهِۦ فَٱتَّبَعُوٓاْ أَمۡرَ فِرۡعَوۡنَۖ وَمَآ أَمۡرُ فِرۡعَوۡنَ بِرَشِيدٖ

97. To Pharaoh and his council, but they followed the command of Pharaoh, and the command of Pharaoh was not rightly guided.

98 : 11

يَقۡدُمُ قَوۡمَهُۥ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ فَأَوۡرَدَهُمُ ٱلنَّارَۖ وَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡوِرۡدُ ٱلۡمَوۡرُودُ

98. He will precede his people on the Day of Resurrection, and lead them into the Fire. What an evil place to be led into!

99 : 11

وَأُتۡبِعُواْ فِي هَٰذِهِۦ لَعۡنَةٗ وَيَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۚ بِئۡسَ ٱلرِّفۡدُ ٱلۡمَرۡفُودُ

99. And they were followed with a Curse in this (world), and on the Day of Resurrection. Wretched is the gift that will be given them (with curse).

100 : 11

ذَٰلِكَ مِنۡ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلۡقُرَىٰ نَقُصُّهُۥ عَلَيۡكَۖ مِنۡهَا قَآئِمٞ وَحَصِيدٞ

100. These are some of the news of the towns We relate to you (Muhammad); of them are some that stand and some reaped.

101 : 11

وَمَا ظَلَمۡنَٰهُمۡ وَلَٰكِن ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡۖ فَمَآ أَغۡنَتۡ عَنۡهُمۡ ءَالِهَتُهُمُ ٱلَّتِي يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَيۡءٖ لَّمَّا جَآءَ أَمۡرُ رَبِّكَۖ وَمَا زَادُوهُمۡ غَيۡرَ تَتۡبِيبٖ

101. And We were not unjust to them, but they were unjust to themselves. So their gods whom they invoked instead of Allāh, availed them nothing when the Command of your Lord (Allāh) came to pass. And they added to them nothing but to their ruin.

102 : 11

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَخۡذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَآ أَخَذَ ٱلۡقُرَىٰ وَهِيَ ظَٰلِمَةٌۚ إِنَّ أَخۡذَهُۥٓ أَلِيمٞ شَدِيدٌ

102. Such is the Seizure of your Lord (Allāh) when He seizes the towns while they are unjust. Indeed, His Seizure is Painful, Severe.

103 : 11

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّمَنۡ خَافَ عَذَابَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوۡمٞ مَّجۡمُوعٞ لَّهُ ٱلنَّاسُ وَذَٰلِكَ يَوۡمٞ مَّشۡهُودٞ

103. In this there is, certainly, a sign for him who fears the torment of the Hereafter. That is a Day for which all mankind will be gathered together, and that is a Day that will be witnessed (by all of mankind, jinn, angels, etc).

104 : 11

وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهُۥٓ إِلَّا لِأَجَلٖ مَّعۡدُودٖ

104. And We do not delay it but to an appointed term.

105 : 11

يَوۡمَ يَأۡتِ لَا تَكَلَّمُ نَفۡسٌ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِهِۦۚ فَمِنۡهُمۡ شَقِيّٞ وَسَعِيدٞ

105. On the Day when it comes, no person will speak except with His Permission. Some of them will be wretched and (others) blessed.

106 : 11

فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ شَقُواْ فَفِي ٱلنَّارِ لَهُمۡ فِيهَا زَفِيرٞ وَشَهِيقٌ

106. As for those who are wretched (that Day), they will be in the Fire; for them will be sighing and groaning in it,

107 : 11

خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٞ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ

107. Abiding therein forever as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord wills. Indeed, your Lord is the All-Accomplisher of what He intends.

108 : 11

۞ وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ سُعِدُواْ فَفِي ٱلۡجَنَّةِ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَۖ عَطَآءً غَيۡرَ مَجۡذُوذٖ

108. As for those who are blessed (that Day), they will be in Paradise, abiding therein forever, as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as (Allāh) your Lord wills. A gift which will never be cut off.

109 : 11

فَلَا تَكُ فِي مِرۡيَةٖ مِّمَّا يَعۡبُدُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِۚ مَا يَعۡبُدُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَعۡبُدُ ءَابَآؤُهُم مِّن قَبۡلُۚ وَإِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوهُمۡ نَصِيبَهُمۡ غَيۡرَ مَنقُوصٖ

109. So, do not be in doubt as to what these (pagans) worship; they do not worship except as their fathers worshiped before. And indeed We will surely pay them in full their exact share (of punishment) undiminished.

110 : 11

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ فَٱخۡتُلِفَ فِيهِۚ وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةٞ سَبَقَتۡ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَفِي شَكّٖ مِّنۡهُ مُرِيبٖ

110. We had certainly given Moses the Scripture, but they fell into dispute with regards to it. Had not a Word preceded from your Lord, the matter would have been judged between them. Yet they are certainly in a disquiting doubt about it (this Qur’an).

111 : 11

وَإِنَّ كُلّٗا لَّمَّا لَيُوَفِّيَنَّهُمۡ رَبُّكَ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرٞ

111. And indeed for each one and all Your Lord will pay them back all their deeds in full. He is Aware of all what they do.

112 : 11

فَٱسۡتَقِمۡ كَمَآ أُمِرۡتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلَا تَطۡغَوۡاْۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ بَصِيرٞ

112. So be steadfast in the right Path (of Islam) as you are commanded, along with those who repented with you, and do not transgress - He is seeing of whatever you do.

113 : 11

وَلَا تَرۡكَنُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ فَتَمَسَّكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِنۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ

113. And do not incline to those who do iniquity lest the Fire touch you. And you have no any protectors besides Allāh, nor you will be helped.

114 : 11

وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ طَرَفَيِ ٱلنَّهَارِ وَزُلَفٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِۚ إِنَّ ٱلۡحَسَنَٰتِ يُذۡهِبۡنَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِۚ ذَٰلِكَ ذِكۡرَىٰ لِلذَّٰكِرِينَ

114. Keep up the prayer at the two ends of the day ^[19], as well as during the first hours of the night ^[20]. The good deeds remove the misdeeds. That is a reminder for those who remember.

[19]. I.e., the morning, the noon, and the afternoon prayers.
[20]. The sunset and the late evening prayer.

115 : 11

وَٱصۡبِرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجۡرَ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

115. Be patient, for Allāh does not waste the reward of the good-doers.

116 : 11

فَلَوۡلَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡقُرُونِ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ أُوْلُواْ بَقِيَّةٖ يَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلۡفَسَادِ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا مِّمَّنۡ أَنجَيۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡۗ وَٱتَّبَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مَآ أُتۡرِفُواْ فِيهِ وَكَانُواْ مُجۡرِمِينَ

116. So why not had been of the generations from before you (those) remnant (of good sense) forbidding from the corruption in the earth except a few of those We delivered among them? But those who were unjust pursued what luxury they were given therein; and they were criminals.

117 : 11

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهۡلِكَ ٱلۡقُرَىٰ بِظُلۡمٖ وَأَهۡلُهَا مُصۡلِحُونَ

117. And your Lord would never destroy the towns unjustly, while their people are reformers.

118 : 11

وَلَوۡ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ ٱلنَّاسَ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗۖ وَلَا يَزَالُونَ مُخۡتَلِفِينَ

118. If your Lord had willed, He would certainly have made all mankind a single nation, but (He willed otherwise, and so) they will continue to differ.

119 : 11

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَۚ وَلِذَٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمۡۗ وَتَمَّتۡ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَأَمۡلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجۡمَعِينَ

119. Except those on whom your Lord has Mercy ^[21], and for that He created them (to choose freely). The Word of your Lord will be fulfilled: "I will Certainly fill Hell with jinn and men, all together."

[21]. I.e., guides them to single Him out in worship, and away from associating any equal to Him.

120 : 11

وَكُلّٗا نَّقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ مِنۡ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهِۦ فُؤَادَكَۚ وَجَآءَكَ فِي هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَمَوۡعِظَةٞ وَذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

120. All that We relate to you of the news of the messengers is to strengthen your heart therewith. And there has come to you in this one the Truth, and admonition, and a reminder to the believers.

121 : 11

وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٱعۡمَلُواْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمۡ إِنَّا عَٰمِلُونَ

121. Say to those who do not believe:  "Work according to your position; we are working too."

122 : 11

وَٱنتَظِرُوٓاْ إِنَّا مُنتَظِرُونَ

122. Wait; we (too) are surely waiting (for God's Decree).

123 : 11

وَلِلَّهِ غَيۡبُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَإِلَيۡهِ يُرۡجَعُ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ كُلُّهُۥ فَٱعۡبُدۡهُ وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَيۡهِۚ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ

123. To Allāh belongs the unseen (things) of the heavens and the earth, and to Him all matters are returned. So worship Him alone, and rely on Him. Your Lord 'Allāh' is not unaware of what you do.
