Al-Hijr

Aaya: 1

الٓرۚ تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَقُرۡءَانٖ مُّبِينٖ

1. Alif Laam Ra¹. These are the Verses of the Book and a clear Recitation ².

1. See footnote to Qur’an chapter2: Verse1.
2. Both the Book and the Recitation mentioned here refer to one and the same thing, the Qur’an itself; the Book that was to be and then the present recited Verses. Its double mention, as given here, is meant to draw special attention to the evidences it provides to the Truthfulness of the Message.

Aaya: 2

رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوۡ كَانُواْ مُسۡلِمِينَ

2. Perhaps will wish those who disbelieved (in the truth) that they had been Muslims (those who submit themselves to God)3.

3. On the Day of Judgement or at the time of their death.

Aaya: 3

ذَرۡهُمۡ يَأۡكُلُواْ وَيَتَمَتَّعُواْ وَيُلۡهِهِمُ ٱلۡأَمَلُۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ

3. Leave them to eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by (vain) hope⁴; for they will soon know (the Truth)⁵.

4. Vain hope of a long life, accomplishment of one’s aspirations, a peaceful life, a fortunate turn of events, etc., that makes one distracted from the real purpose of life and heedless to the Truth of Islam. One of the greatest reasons for which Allāh has created mankind – which is one of the greatest tests – is the command to affirm His Oneness and to worship Him alone without partners.
5. That there is no deity except Allāh and that Muḥammad is the messenger of God.

Aaya: 4

وَمَآ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

4. Never did We destroy any of the town (for its sins) except that it had a known (prescribed) Decree.

Aaya: 5

مَّا تَسۡبِقُ مِنۡ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ

5. No nation will precede its term, nor will they (be able) to postpone it.

Aaya: 6

وَقَالُواْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِي نُزِّلَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلذِّكۡرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجۡنُونٞ

6. And they (the deniers) said: "O you (Muhammad) to whom the Reminder (the Qur’an) has been revealed. You are certainly insane."

Aaya: 7

لَّوۡمَا تَأۡتِينَا بِٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

7. 'Why do you not bring us the angels, if you are of the truthful ones?"

Aaya: 8

مَا نُنَزِّلُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوٓاْ إِذٗا مُّنظَرِينَ

8. We do not send down the angels except with Truth6, and in that case, they (the deniers) had not been respited.

6. Revelation or Divine Retribution.

Aaya: 9

إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَزَّلۡنَا ٱلذِّكۡرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ

9. Indeed, it is We who revealed the Reminder 'Qur’an', and for it We are certainly Preservers.

Aaya: 10

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ فِي شِيَعِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

10. We certainly sent (messengers) before you among the sects of the former people.

Aaya: 11

وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

11. And no messenger would come to them, but they used to mock at him.

Aaya: 12

كَذَٰلِكَ نَسۡلُكُهُۥ فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

12. Thus do We cause it (disbelief) to traverse into the hearts of the guilty;

Aaya: 13

لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ وَقَدۡ خَلَتۡ سُنَّةُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

13. They do not believe in it (this Qur’an), and indeed the example of the (destroyed) former (unbelievers) has already passed.

Aaya: 14

وَلَوۡ فَتَحۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم بَابٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّواْ فِيهِ يَعۡرُجُونَ

14. Even if We open to them a gateway of heaven, and) so they continued to ascend, through it,

Aaya: 15

لَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتۡ أَبۡصَٰرُنَا بَلۡ نَحۡنُ قَوۡمٞ مَّسۡحُورُونَ

15. They would certainly say: "Our eyes have only been dazzled, rather, we are a people bewitched."
