Traduction des sens Sourate AL-MOU’MINOUN - الترجمة الإنجليزية - يعقوب - Encyclopédie du Noble Coran

Al-Mu’minūn

Verset: 1

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ

1. Successful and prosperous indeed are the believers¹,

1. Who believe in Allāh, His angels, His Book 'the Qur’an', His messengers, whose last is the prophet Muhammad, the Last Day, and the predestination.

Verset: 2

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ فِي صَلَاتِهِمۡ خَٰشِعُونَ

2. Those who are wholeheartedly submissive to Allāh in their prayers².

2. Attending congregation and praying with all solemnity and full submissiveness strengthens one’s connection with Allāh. Prayer is about expressing love, gratitude, hope, fear to Allāh and finding meaning in life’s challenges and peace.

Verset: 3

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَنِ ٱللَّغۡوِ مُعۡرِضُونَ

3. Those who avoid foul speech³,

3. Let no bad words proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good, that builds, encourages, and strengthens others.

Verset: 4

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِلزَّكَوٰةِ فَٰعِلُونَ

4. Those who pay the poor-rate⁴,

4. I.e., Zakat, the obligatory alms. Muslims are obligated to pay 2.5% of the total value of their wealth less any liabilities in Zakat provided they reach the Nisab. The Nisab is the minimum amount that a Muslim must have before being obliged to pay Zakat. The Nisab was set by the Prophet Muhammad at a rate equivalent to 85 grams of gold or 609 grams of silver or its equivalent in money, taking into consideration the one lesser value will be the Nisab either the silver or the gold. Zakat is taken from the rich and given to the poor. Whoever cares for the poor lends to Allāh, who will pay back the sum in full. Giving to the poor, is another way someone can express their faith and is a way in which they can put “love for your brother as you love for yourself ” into action. It is unselfishly wishing others to be happy; to be delighted; to offer our affection and help freely without wanting anything in return. Eligible Muslims pay Zakat once a year, and it is due as soon as one lunar (Islamic) year passed.

Verset: 5

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِفُرُوجِهِمۡ حَٰفِظُونَ

5. And who restrain their carnal desires⁵,

5. This is the command of Allāh that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in honor and dignity, not in the passion of lust like the non-Muslims who do not know Allāh. No one transgresses in this matter, for Allāh has not called us for impurity, but in righteousness and honor. Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but Allāh. Chastity is the dignity of the body, the ornament of morality, the bond of modesty, the peacefulness of home, the source of purity, the purity in conduct and intention and abstention from unlawful sexual intercourse.

Verset: 6

إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزۡوَٰجِهِمۡ أَوۡ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُهُمۡ فَإِنَّهُمۡ غَيۡرُ مَلُومِينَ

6. Except with their wives or those 'bondwomen' whom they rightfully possess, for then, they will not be blamed;

Verset: 7

فَمَنِ ٱبۡتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡعَادُونَ

7. But whoever seeks beyond that, then these are the transgressors.

Verset: 8

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمۡ وَعَهۡدِهِمۡ رَٰعُونَ

8. Those who are true to their trusts⁶ and covenant⁷.

6.The word amaanah - trust - is general in meaning and encompasses all the duties of Islam. Everything that Allāh has enjoined upon His servant is an amaanah (trust), and the person must carry them out in the fullest sense. That also includes things that are entrusted to one by people, such as wealth, secrets and the like. The individual must pay attention to both matters and fulfill both trusts. The one who fulfills his duty towards Allāh and towards people will be rewarded, but the one who neglects his duty towards Allāh and towards people deserves punishment.
7. Promise, pledge. Whenever a person makes a promise, he or she must fulfill it; if he or she commits him/herself to something, whether it concerns other people or Allāh the Almighty, and then falls short of delivering on it, that is considered a breach of the pledge. The righteous believers never break their covenants, which is rather typical of immoral people and hypocrites. Islam warns against breaching covenants, even with enemies, unless they breach first. Treachery is a grave major sin, particularly when it comes from a person who is in a position of authority. That is because his infringement harms many people and he is not forced to do that because fulfilling it instead is within his capacity. There is abundant proof indicating the obligation of fulfilling covenants and the prohibition of breaching it.

Verset: 9

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَٰتِهِمۡ يُحَافِظُونَ

9. Who are steadfast in their prayer⁸;

8. By offering them at their proper times. The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him, said: “Pray as you have seen me praying." 

Verset: 10

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡوَٰرِثُونَ

10. These are indeed the heirs,

Verset: 11

ٱلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلۡفِرۡدَوۡسَ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ

11. Who will inherit Al-Firdaws (the highest place in Paradise); they will abide therein forever.

Verset: 12

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِن سُلَٰلَةٖ مِّن طِينٖ

12. We have created man of an extract of clay,

Verset: 13

ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَٰهُ نُطۡفَةٗ فِي قَرَارٖ مَّكِينٖ

13. Then We placed him as a drop of sperm in a firm resting-place (in the womb),

Verset: 14

ثُمَّ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلنُّطۡفَةَ عَلَقَةٗ فَخَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡعَلَقَةَ مُضۡغَةٗ فَخَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمُضۡغَةَ عِظَٰمٗا فَكَسَوۡنَا ٱلۡعِظَٰمَ لَحۡمٗا ثُمَّ أَنشَأۡنَٰهُ خَلۡقًا ءَاخَرَۚ فَتَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ أَحۡسَنُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ

14. Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump (of flesh), and We made (from) the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh, then We brought it into being as a new creation, so Blessed be Allāh, the Best of creators.

Verset: 15

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُم بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَيِّتُونَ

15. Then, after that, you will certainly die.

Verset: 16

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ تُبۡعَثُونَ

16. Then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be resurrected.

Verset: 17

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعَ طَرَآئِقَ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ ٱلۡخَلۡقِ غَٰفِلِينَ

17. And indeed, We have created above you seven levels 'of heaven'; and never are We unmindful of (Our) creation.

Verset: 18

وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءَۢ بِقَدَرٖ فَأَسۡكَنَّٰهُ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ ذَهَابِۭ بِهِۦ لَقَٰدِرُونَ

18. We send down water from the sky in (due) measure, causing it to settle in the earth, and We are Able to take it away.

19. With it 'the water' We bring forth for you gardens of palm trees and grapevines; wherein you have abundant fruits to eat;

Verset: 20

وَشَجَرَةٗ تَخۡرُجُ مِن طُورِ سَيۡنَآءَ تَنۢبُتُ بِٱلدُّهۡنِ وَصِبۡغٖ لِّلۡأٓكِلِينَ

20. As well as 'olive' tree that grows out of Mount Sinai, which produces oil and a relish for its eaters.

Verset: 21

وَإِنَّ لَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ لَعِبۡرَةٗۖ نُّسۡقِيكُم مِّمَّا فِي بُطُونِهَا وَلَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَنَٰفِعُ كَثِيرَةٞ وَمِنۡهَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

21. There is a lesson for you in the cattle. We give you milk to drink out of what is in their bellies, and you have in them many benefits, and from their (meat) you eat.

Verset: 22

وَعَلَيۡهَا وَعَلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ تُحۡمَلُونَ

22. You are carried by them (the animals on land) and by the ships⁹.

9. In the sea, and other means of transport in the air.

24. The chiefs among those who denied 'the Truth' of his people said: "He is a mere mortal man like you. He wants that he may have superiority over you. Had Allāh willed, He could have sent down angels. We have not heard of this among our fathers of old:

Verset: 25

إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلُۢ بِهِۦ جِنَّةٞ فَتَرَبَّصُواْ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

25. He is only a man possessed (by a spirit), so wait (and have patience) with him for a while¹⁰."

27. So We inspired him, 'saying': "Make the Ship under Our Eyes and (according to) Our guidance. When Our command comes and the oven gushes forth, take board into it every kind of pair, two, and your family, except those among them against whom the Word (Decree) has gone forth (to perish). Do not speak to Me about those who do iniquity they will be drowned."

Verset: 28

فَإِذَا ٱسۡتَوَيۡتَ أَنتَ وَمَن مَّعَكَ عَلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ فَقُلِ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي نَجَّىٰنَا مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

Verset: 32

فَأَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِمۡ رَسُولٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥٓۚ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

41. So the 'mighty' blast seized them in justice, and We made them as stubble; so away with the unjust people.

Verset: 42

ثُمَّ أَنشَأۡنَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ قُرُونًا ءَاخَرِينَ

42. Then We raised after them other generations.

44. Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Whenever there came to a people their messenger, they rejected him, so We made some of them follow others (in destruction) and We made them (as old) narrations (of the past). So away with a people who do not believe.

Verset: 45

ثُمَّ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَأَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَسُلۡطَٰنٖ مُّبِينٍ

45. Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron, with Our signs and a clear authority,

Verset: 46

إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَمَلَإِيْهِۦ فَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ وَكَانُواْ قَوۡمًا عَالِينَ

46. To Pharaoh and his counsel, but they behaved with arrogance and they were a tyrannical people self-exalting¹¹.

11. By disobeying their Lord Allāh, and exalting themselves over and above His messengers.

Verset: 47

فَقَالُوٓاْ أَنُؤۡمِنُ لِبَشَرَيۡنِ مِثۡلِنَا وَقَوۡمُهُمَا لَنَا عَٰبِدُونَ

47. They said: "Shall we believe in two men (Moses and Aaron) like ourselves while their people are slaves for us?"

Verset: 48

فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَكَانُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡمُهۡلَكِينَ

48. So they denied them and became of those who perished.

Verset: 49

49. And We certainly gave Moses the Scripture so that they might be guided.

Verset: 50

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ وَأُمَّهُۥٓ ءَايَةٗ وَءَاوَيۡنَٰهُمَآ إِلَىٰ رَبۡوَةٖ ذَاتِ قَرَارٖ وَمَعِينٖ

50. [As We exalted Moses, also] We made the son of Mary (Jesus) and his mother a Sign¹², and sheltered them on a lofty ground having meadow and spring.

12. I.e., the birth of Jesus taking place with no man touching Mary.

Verset: 51

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرُّسُلُ كُلُواْ مِنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ وَٱعۡمَلُواْ صَٰلِحًاۖ إِنِّي بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ عَلِيمٞ

51. Messengers, eat of the good and pure things and act righteously. I am Well-Aware of all that you do13.

13. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) stated that a response to his prayer is unlikely for one who obtains his food, drinks and clothing from prohibited sources. In the narration it says: [The Prophet Muhammad] mentioned man who undertakes a lengthy journey and is dishevelled and covered with dust, and he stretches his hands towards heaven saying, ‘O Lord, O Lord,’ when his food is unlawful (bought with ill-gotten money), his drink is unlawful, his clothes are unlawful. He was nourished with what is unlawful, so how can he be granted a response to his prayer?." Thus eating from ill-gotten sources saps the strength of the prayer and weakens it.”

Verset: 52

وَإِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦٓ أُمَّتُكُمۡ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ وَأَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمۡ فَٱتَّقُونِ

52. Indeed, this your religion is a 'universal' one religion (Islam), and I am 'Allāh your Lord, so uphold My commandments and guard yourselves against evil.

Verset: 53

فَتَقَطَّعُوٓاْ أَمۡرَهُم بَيۡنَهُمۡ زُبُرٗاۖ كُلُّ حِزۡبِۭ بِمَا لَدَيۡهِمۡ فَرِحُونَ

53. But they (the people) split their religion among themselves into sects, each part rejoicing in that which is with them14.

14. Of beliefs, opinions, customs, disregarding the Truth of Islam.

Verset: 54

فَذَرۡهُمۡ فِي غَمۡرَتِهِمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

54. So leave them in their heedlessness for a while.

Verset: 55

أَيَحۡسَبُونَ أَنَّمَا نُمِدُّهُم بِهِۦ مِن مَّالٖ وَبَنِينَ

55. Do they15 think that by what We provide them with of wealth and children,

15. These followers of different sects of the Jews and the Christians among others.

Verset: 56

نُسَارِعُ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِۚ بَل لَّا يَشۡعُرُونَ

56. We are hastening to them of the good things? Rather, they do not perceive16.

16. Their error, and that this is a way of gradually drawing them into their destruction.

57. Those, who stand in awe of their Lord 'Allāh' and are cautious,

60. And who give what they give17 while their hearts tremble with (awe, hope, and love of Him), because they are sure to return to 'Allāh' their Lord (for Reckoning);

17. In alms and perform other good deeds.

Verset: 61

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِي ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ وَهُمۡ لَهَا سَٰبِقُونَ

61. These hasten in good deeds and they are foremost in (attaining) them.

Verset: 62

وَلَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفۡسًا إِلَّا وُسۡعَهَاۚ وَلَدَيۡنَا كِتَٰبٞ يَنطِقُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ

62. We do not lay on any soul a burden except to the extent of its ability, and with Us is a record which speaks the truth, and they will not be dealt with unjustly.

63. But (as for the deniers) their hearts are in confusion with respect to it (the Qur’an), and they have besides this (their violation of the Oneness of God) other (evil) deeds which they do.

Verset: 64

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَخَذۡنَا مُتۡرَفِيهِم بِٱلۡعَذَابِ إِذَا هُمۡ يَجۡـَٔرُونَ

64. Until when We seize those who are lost in the pursuit of pleasures among them with torment, at once they cry out in (belated) supplication.

Verset: 65

لَا تَجۡـَٔرُواْ ٱلۡيَوۡمَۖ إِنَّكُم مِّنَّا لَا تُنصَرُونَ

65. Supplicate not loudly this Day; indeed, you will not be helped by Us.

Verset: 66

قَدۡ كَانَتۡ ءَايَٰتِي تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فَكُنتُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَعۡقَٰبِكُمۡ تَنكِصُونَ

69. Or did they not know their messenger (Muhammad), so they deny him?

Verset: 70

أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ بِهِۦ جِنَّةُۢۚ بَلۡ جَآءَهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لِلۡحَقِّ كَٰرِهُونَ

70. Or do they say, "He is possessed (by a spirit)?" Rather, he has brought them the Truth, and most of them are averse to the Truth.

Verset: 71

وَلَوِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلۡحَقُّ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ لَفَسَدَتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّۚ بَلۡ أَتَيۡنَٰهُم بِذِكۡرِهِمۡ فَهُمۡ عَن ذِكۡرِهِم مُّعۡرِضُونَ

71. Had the Truth (i.e., Allāh) conform to their low desires, the heavens and the earth and all those who are therein would have been corrupted. Rather, We have brought to them their Reminder, but from their Reminder (this Qur’an) they turn away.

Verset: 72

أَمۡ تَسۡـَٔلُهُمۡ خَرۡجٗا فَخَرَاجُ رَبِّكَ خَيۡرٞۖ وَهُوَ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ

72. Or is it that you ask them for payment? But the reward of 'Allāh' your Lord is Best and He is the Best of providers.

Verset: 73

وَإِنَّكَ لَتَدۡعُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ

73. And certainly you 'Muhammad' invite them to a right Path.

Verset: 74

وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ عَنِ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ لَنَٰكِبُونَ

74. But those who do not truly believe in the Hereafter are deviating from the (Islamic) Way - (the only Way to Salvation).

Verset: 75

۞ وَلَوۡ رَحِمۡنَٰهُمۡ وَكَشَفۡنَا مَا بِهِم مِّن ضُرّٖ لَّلَجُّواْ فِي طُغۡيَٰنِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ

75. Even If We were to grant them mercy and remove from them hardship (famine, poverty, sickness, etc), they would still persist in their insolence blindly wandering on.

Verset: 76

وَلَقَدۡ أَخَذۡنَٰهُم بِٱلۡعَذَابِ فَمَا ٱسۡتَكَانُواْ لِرَبِّهِمۡ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ

76. 'Even when' We have seized them with torment 'as warning' they were not submissive to their Lord 'Allāh', nor did they humble themselves to Him.

Verset: 77

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَتَحۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم بَابٗا ذَا عَذَابٖ شَدِيدٍ إِذَا هُمۡ فِيهِ مُبۡلِسُونَ

77. Until when We opened upon them a door of severe torment - they were immediately plunged into utter despair.

Verset: 78

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنشَأَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرَ وَٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةَۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَشۡكُرُونَ

78. It is He 'Allāh' Who made for you hearing and sight and intellect. Little is it that you give thanks.

Verset: 79

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي ذَرَأَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُحۡشَرُونَ

79. It is He Who multiplied you in the earth, and to Him you shall (all) be gathered.

Verset: 80

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُ وَلَهُ ٱخۡتِلَٰفُ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

80. It is He 'Allāh' Who gives life and causes death, and (in) His (control) is the alternation of the night and day. Will you not then understand?

Verset: 81

بَلۡ قَالُواْ مِثۡلَ مَا قَالَ ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

81. Rather, they say the like of what the ancients said,

Verset: 82

قَالُوٓاْ أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ

82. They say: "When we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we really be resurrected (from the dead)?

Verset: 83

لَقَدۡ وُعِدۡنَا نَحۡنُ وَءَابَآؤُنَا هَٰذَا مِن قَبۡلُ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

83. We have been promised this, and (so were) our fathers before. These are no more than ancient legends."

Verset: 84

قُل لِّمَنِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَن فِيهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ

84. Ask them: "To whom belongs the earth, and all that is in it, if you 'really' know?"

Verset: 85

سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِۚ قُلۡ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

85. They will say: "(It belongs to) Allāh." Say: "Will you not then take heed?"

Verset: 86

قُلۡ مَن رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ ٱلسَّبۡعِ وَرَبُّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

86. Ask them: "Who is Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne?"

Verset: 87

سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِۚ قُلۡ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

87. They will say: " Allāh." Say: "Will you not then fear Allāh and shun evil?"

Verset: 88

قُلۡ مَنۢ بِيَدِهِۦ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ وَهُوَ يُجِيرُ وَلَا يُجَارُ عَلَيۡهِ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ

88. 'And' ask them: "In Whose Hand is the sovereignty of all things, who protects while none can protect against Him, if you do but know?"

Verset: 89

سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِۚ قُلۡ فَأَنَّىٰ تُسۡحَرُونَ

89. They will say: "Allāh." Say: "How you are then deluded?"

Verset: 90

بَلۡ أَتَيۡنَٰهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

90. Rather, We have brought them the Truth and they are certainly liars.

Verset: 91

مَا ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِن وَلَدٖ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُۥ مِنۡ إِلَٰهٍۚ إِذٗا لَّذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلَٰهِۭ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلَا بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖۚ سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

91. Never did Allāh take for Himself a son (or daughters), and never was there with him any (other) god - in that case would each god have taken away what he created, and some of them would have overpowered others. Glory be to Allāh, (He is High) above what they attribute to Him.

Verset: 92

عَٰلِمِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ فَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ

92. (He is) the Knower of the unseen and the seen, so may He be Exalted above all that they associate as partners with Him.

Verset: 93

قُل رَّبِّ إِمَّا تُرِيَنِّي مَا يُوعَدُونَ

93. Say: "Lord 'Allāh', if You would make me see what they are threatened with;

Verset: 94

رَبِّ فَلَا تَجۡعَلۡنِي فِي ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

94. Lord, do not place me with the unjust people."

Verset: 95

وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّرِيَكَ مَا نَعِدُهُمۡ لَقَٰدِرُونَ

95. We are indeed able to make you see what We threaten them with.

Verset: 96

ٱدۡفَعۡ بِٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحۡسَنُ ٱلسَّيِّئَةَۚ نَحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَصِفُونَ

96. Repel evil with that which is best. We know best what they attribute (to Us).

Verset: 97

وَقُل رَّبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنۡ هَمَزَٰتِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ

97. Say: Lord 'Allāh, I seek refuge by You from the temptations of the devils;

Verset: 98

وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ رَبِّ أَن يَحۡضُرُونِ

98. And I seek refuge by You my Lord from their presence."

Verset: 99

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَحَدَهُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ قَالَ رَبِّ ٱرۡجِعُونِ

99. When death approaches one of them, he says: "Lord 'Allāh', send me back (to the world) again;

Verset: 100

لَعَلِّيٓ أَعۡمَلُ صَٰلِحٗا فِيمَا تَرَكۡتُۚ كَلَّآۚ إِنَّهَا كَلِمَةٌ هُوَ قَآئِلُهَاۖ وَمِن وَرَآئِهِم بَرۡزَخٌ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ

100. So I may do good in what i left behind. By no means, it is a (mere) word that he speaks; and behind them is a barrier until the Day when they are resurrected.

Verset: 101

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَلَآ أَنسَابَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ وَلَا يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

101. So when the trumpet is blown, there will be no kindred relations between them on that Day, nor shall they ask of one another.

Verset: 102

فَمَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ

102. As for those whose scales (of good deeds) are heavy, these are the successful.

Verset: 103

وَمَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ فِي جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدُونَ

103. But those whose scales (of good deeds) are light, these are the ones who will lose their own selves, abiding in Gehinnom (Hell) forever.

Verset: 104

تَلۡفَحُ وُجُوهَهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا كَٰلِحُونَ

104. The Fire will scorch their faces, and they will be distorted therein in pain.

Verset: 105

أَلَمۡ تَكُنۡ ءَايَٰتِي تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فَكُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ

105. "Were not My verses recited to you? But you used to deny them."

Verset: 106

قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا غَلَبَتۡ عَلَيۡنَا شِقۡوَتُنَا وَكُنَّا قَوۡمٗا ضَآلِّينَ

106. They will say: "Our Lord, our defiance overcame us and we were a people astray.

Verset: 107

رَبَّنَآ أَخۡرِجۡنَا مِنۡهَا فَإِنۡ عُدۡنَا فَإِنَّا ظَٰلِمُونَ

107. Our Lord, take us out of it; then if ever we return (to evil), indeed we are unjust."

Verset: 108

قَالَ ٱخۡسَـُٔواْ فِيهَا وَلَا تُكَلِّمُونِ

108. "Allāh" will say: "Remain despised in it and do not speak to Me."

Verset: 109

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَرِيقٞ مِّنۡ عِبَادِي يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ ءَامَنَّا فَٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا وَٱرۡحَمۡنَا وَأَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ

109. There was a party of My servants who always prayed: "Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have Mercy on us, for You are the Best of all those who show mercy."

Verset: 110

فَٱتَّخَذۡتُمُوهُمۡ سِخۡرِيًّا حَتَّىٰٓ أَنسَوۡكُمۡ ذِكۡرِي وَكُنتُم مِّنۡهُمۡ تَضۡحَكُونَ

110. But you took them for a mockery until they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them.

Verset: 111

إِنِّي جَزَيۡتُهُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ بِمَا صَبَرُوٓاْ أَنَّهُمۡ هُمُ ٱلۡفَآئِزُونَ

111. I have rewarded them this Day for their patient endurance and obedience18, that they are indeed the achievers of success.

18. When people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Allāh. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. If you are not familiar with the history of the prophets, you will not do well when you suffer any kind of slander or persecution for Allah’s sake.

Verset: 112

قَٰلَ كَمۡ لَبِثۡتُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ عَدَدَ سِنِينَ

112. Allāh will ask (those doomed to Hell): "How many years did you remain on earth?"

Verset: 113

قَالُواْ لَبِثۡنَا يَوۡمًا أَوۡ بَعۡضَ يَوۡمٖ فَسۡـَٔلِ ٱلۡعَآدِّينَ

113. They will say: "We remained a day or part of a day, ask those who keep count."

Verset: 114

قَٰلَ إِن لَّبِثۡتُمۡ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗاۖ لَّوۡ أَنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ

114. Allāh will say: "You have remained there for a little while- if only you had known;

Verset: 115

أَفَحَسِبۡتُمۡ أَنَّمَا خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ عَبَثٗا وَأَنَّكُمۡ إِلَيۡنَا لَا تُرۡجَعُونَ

115. Did you then think that We had created you in vain19, and that you shall not be returned to Us (for Judgment)?"

19. Without meaning or purpose.

Verset: 116

فَتَعَٰلَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمَلِكُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱلۡكَرِيمِ

116. So exalted be Allāh, the True King; there is no god (worthy of worship) except Him, the Lord of the Honorable Throne.

Verset: 117

وَمَن يَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ لَا بُرۡهَٰنَ لَهُۥ بِهِۦ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفۡلِحُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ

117. Whoever invokes besides Allāh another god - no proof he has for it - his Reckoning is only with his Lord 'Allāh. The deniers will not succeed and prosper.

Verset: 118

وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱغۡفِرۡ وَٱرۡحَمۡ وَأَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ

118. Say: "Lord 'Allah', forgive and have Mercy, for You are the Best of the merciful."
