[2] O Muhammad.

આયત: 4

إِن نَّشَأۡ نُنَزِّلۡ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةٗ فَظَلَّتۡ أَعۡنَٰقُهُمۡ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ

If We willed, We could send down upon them a sign from the heaven, at which their necks would stay bowed in humility^[3].

[3] i.e., they would be compelled to believe, being humbled.

આયત: 5

وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن ذِكۡرٖ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مُحۡدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضِينَ

No new reminder comes to them from the Most Compassionate except that they turn away from it.

આયત: 6

فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُواْ فَسَيَأۡتِيهِمۡ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُاْ مَا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

They have rejected [the Truth], soon there will come to them the consequences of their ridicule.

આયત: 7

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمۡ أَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجٖ كَرِيمٍ

Do they not see the earth, how many fine kinds of plants We grow in it?

આયત: 8

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them will not believe.

આયત: 9

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Your Lord is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

આયત: 10

وَإِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئۡتِ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

And [remember] when your Lord called out to Moses, “Go to the wrongdoing people –

આયત: 11

قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ

the people of Pharaoh; will they not fear [the punishment of] Allah?”

આયત: 12

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ

He said, “My Lord, I fear that they may reject me,

આયત: 13

وَيَضِيقُ صَدۡرِي وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِي فَأَرۡسِلۡ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ

and I will feel distressed and my tongue will not be fluent, so send Aaron along [to help me].

આયત: 14

وَلَهُمۡ عَلَيَّ ذَنۢبٞ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقۡتُلُونِ

Moreover, they have a charge against me, so I fear they may kill me^[4].”

[4] For killing a Coptic Egyptian by mistake before becoming a prophet.

આયત: 15

قَالَ كَلَّاۖ فَٱذۡهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسۡتَمِعُونَ

Allah said, “Certainly not! Go, both of you, with Our signs^[5]; We are with you, listening.

[5] i.e., the miracles of the staff and the shining hand, given to Moses.

આયત: 16

فَأۡتِيَا فِرۡعَوۡنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Go to Pharaoh and say, ‘We are the messengers^[6] from the Lord of the worlds,

[6] The singular form in Arabic denotes that they both were sent with a single message.

આયત: 17

أَنۡ أَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

that you let the Children of Israel go with us.’”

આયત: 18

قَالَ أَلَمۡ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدٗا وَلَبِثۡتَ فِينَا مِنۡ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ

Pharaoh said, “Did we not bring you up as a child among us, and you stayed with us several years of your life?

આયત: 19

وَفَعَلۡتَ فَعۡلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلۡتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

Yet you did what you did^[7], and you are extremely ungrateful.”

[7] i.e., striking the Copt in support of a man from your people, who died as a result.

આયત: 20

قَالَ فَعَلۡتُهَآ إِذٗا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

He said, “I did it when I had no guidance.

આયત: 21

فَفَرَرۡتُ مِنكُمۡ لَمَّا خِفۡتُكُمۡ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكۡمٗا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

So I fled from you in fear. Then my Lord gave me wisdom and made me one of the messengers.

આયત: 22

وَتِلۡكَ نِعۡمَةٞ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ أَنۡ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

Is this a favor that you remind me with, that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?^[8]

[8] i.e., If you had not been cruel to the Israelites, I should not have been brought to your house for upbringing.

આયત: 23

قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Pharaoh said, “What is ‘the Lord of the worlds’?”

આયત: 24

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

Moses said, “The Lord of the heavens and earth and all that is between them, if only you had sure faith.”

આયત: 25

قَالَ لِمَنۡ حَوۡلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسۡتَمِعُونَ

Pharaoh said to those around him, “Did you hear [what he just said]?”

આયત: 26

قَالَ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

Moses said, “Your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.”

આયત: 27

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِيٓ أُرۡسِلَ إِلَيۡكُمۡ لَمَجۡنُونٞ

Pharaoh said, “Your messenger who has been sent to you is truly insane!”

આયત: 28

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآۖ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ

Moses said, “Lord of the east and west and all that is between them, if only you had sense!”

આયત: 29

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذۡتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيۡرِي لَأَجۡعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجُونِينَ

Pharaoh said, “If you take any god other than me, I will throw you into prison.”

આયત: 30

قَالَ أَوَلَوۡ جِئۡتُكَ بِشَيۡءٖ مُّبِينٖ

Moses said, “What if I bring you a clear proof?”

આયત: 31

قَالَ فَأۡتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

Pharaoh said, “Bring it then if you are truthful!”

આયત: 32

فَأَلۡقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعۡبَانٞ مُّبِينٞ

So he threw down his staff, and suddenly it was a real serpent.

આયત: 33

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيۡضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ

And he drew out his hand, and it was glowing white to the beholders.

આયત: 34

قَالَ لِلۡمَلَإِ حَوۡلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٞ

Pharaoh said to the chiefs around him, “This is indeed a learned magician!

આયત: 35

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخۡرِجَكُم مِّنۡ أَرۡضِكُم بِسِحۡرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأۡمُرُونَ

He wants to drive you out of your land with his magic. What do you suggest?”

આયત: 36

قَالُوٓاْ أَرۡجِهۡ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبۡعَثۡ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

They said, “Let him and his brother wait and dispatch heralds to the cities

આયત: 37

يَأۡتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٖ

to bring you every learned magician.”

આયત: 38

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ

So the magicians were assembled at an appointed time on a known day^[9].

[9] i.e., the morning of the festival day. See 20:58-59.

આયત: 39

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّجۡتَمِعُونَ

And it was said to the people, “Will you join the gathering,

આયત: 40

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

so that we may follow the magicians, if they are victorious?”

આયત: 41

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُواْ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجۡرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

When the magicians came, they said to Pharaoh, “Will there be a reward for us if we are victorious?”

આયત: 42

قَالَ نَعَمۡ وَإِنَّكُمۡ إِذٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ

He said, “Yes, and then you will surely be of those who are close to me.”

આયત: 43

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلۡقُواْ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلۡقُونَ

Moses said to them, “Throw whatever you wish to throw.”

આયત: 44

فَأَلۡقَوۡاْ حِبَالَهُمۡ وَعِصِيَّهُمۡ وَقَالُواْ بِعِزَّةِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

So they threw their ropes and staffs, and said, “By the glory of Pharaoh, it is we who will be the victorious!”

આયત: 45

فَأَلۡقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا يَأۡفِكُونَ

Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it swallowed up all objects of their illusion.

આયત: 46

فَأُلۡقِيَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ

So the magicians fell down in prostration.

આયત: 47

قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

They said, “We believe in the Lord of the worlds,

આયત: 48

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

the Lord of Moses and Aaron.”

આયત: 49

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ قَبۡلَ أَنۡ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحۡرَ فَلَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَٰفٖ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

Pharaoh said, “How dare you believe in him before I give you permission. Indeed, he is your master who taught you magic, but you will soon come to know. I will surely cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, then I will crucify you all.”

આયત: 50

قَالُواْ لَا ضَيۡرَۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

They said, “No harm; we will surely return to our Lord.

આયત: 51

إِنَّا نَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

We hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, as we are the first of the believers.”

આયત: 52

۞ وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِيٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

We inspired Moses, “Leave with My slaves by night; you will surely be pursued.”

આયત: 53

فَأَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

So Pharaoh sent heralds to the cities^[10],

[10] In order to prevent the emigration of the Children of Israel.

આયત: 54

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرۡذِمَةٞ قَلِيلُونَ

saying, “These are but a small band,

આયત: 55

وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ

and they have enraged us,

આયત: 56

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ

but we are all well-prepared.”

આયત: 57

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ

Thus did We drive them^[11] out of their gardens and springs,

[11] i.e., Pharaoh and his people.

આયત: 58

وَكُنُوزٖ وَمَقَامٖ كَرِيمٖ

and their treasures and splendid dwellings.

આયત: 59

كَذَٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَٰهَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

So it was, and We made the Children of Israel to inherit them.

આયત: 60

فَأَتۡبَعُوهُم مُّشۡرِقِينَ

They pursued them at sunrise.

આયત: 61

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ قَالَ أَصۡحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ

When the two groups saw each other, the companions of Moses said, “We are surely overtaken!”

આયત: 62

قَالَ كَلَّآۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ

Moses said, “Certainly not! My Lord is with me; He will guide me.”

આયત: 63

فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضۡرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرۡقٖ كَٱلطَّوۡدِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

Then We inspired Moses, “Strike the sea with your staff,” so it parted, and each part became like a huge mountain.

આયત: 64

وَأَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Then We brought the others [i.e., the pursuers] close to that place,

આયત: 65

وَأَنجَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

and We saved Moses and all those who were with him.

આયત: 66

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Then we drowned the others.

આયત: 67

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them would not believe.

આયત: 68

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Indeed, your Lord is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

આયત: 69

وَٱتۡلُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

Relate to them the story of Abraham,

આયત: 70

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

when he said to his father and his people, “What do you worship?”

આયત: 71

قَالُواْ نَعۡبُدُ أَصۡنَامٗا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ

They said, “We worship idols and remain devoted to them.”

આયત: 72

قَالَ هَلۡ يَسۡمَعُونَكُمۡ إِذۡ تَدۡعُونَ

He said, “Do they hear you when you call upon them?

આયત: 73

أَوۡ يَنفَعُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَضُرُّونَ

Or can they benefit or harm you?”

આયત: 74

قَالُواْ بَلۡ وَجَدۡنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفۡعَلُونَ

They said, “No, but this is what we found our forefathers doing.”

આયત: 75

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ

He said, “Do you see what you have been worshiping,

આયત: 76

أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلۡأَقۡدَمُونَ

you and your ancestors?

આયત: 77

فَإِنَّهُمۡ عَدُوّٞ لِّيٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Indeed, they are my enemies, except the Lord of the worlds^[12],

[12] As they worshiped idols in addition to worshiping Allah.

આયત: 78

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهۡدِينِ

Who created me, so He guides me;

આયત: 79

وَٱلَّذِي هُوَ يُطۡعِمُنِي وَيَسۡقِينِ

and it is He Who provides me with food and drink;

આયત: 80

وَإِذَا مَرِضۡتُ فَهُوَ يَشۡفِينِ

and when I am ill He heals me;

આયત: 81

وَٱلَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحۡيِينِ

and He will cause me to die and then bring me back to life;

આયત: 82

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لِي خَطِيٓـَٔتِي يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ

and I hope that He will forgive me my sins on the Day of Judgment.”

આયત: 83

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي حُكۡمٗا وَأَلۡحِقۡنِي بِٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

“My Lord, grant me knowledge, and join me with the righteous,

આયત: 84

وَٱجۡعَل لِّي لِسَانَ صِدۡقٖ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

and grant me an honorable mention among the later generations^[13],

[13] Muslims invoke Allah’s blessings upon Abraham (ﷺ) along with Muhammad (ﷺ) in their daily prayers.

આયત: 85

وَٱجۡعَلۡنِي مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

and make me of those who will inherit the Garden of Bliss;

આયત: 86

وَٱغۡفِرۡ لِأَبِيٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

and forgive my father, for he is one of those who have gone astray;

આયત: 87

وَلَا تُخۡزِنِي يَوۡمَ يُبۡعَثُونَ

and do not disgrace me on the Day when all will be resurrected –

આયત: 88

يَوۡمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٞ وَلَا بَنُونَ

the Day when neither wealth nor children will be of any avail,

આયત: 89

إِلَّا مَنۡ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٖ

except the one who comes to Allah with a sound heart^[14].”

[14] A heart free from disbelief, polytheism, hypocrisy, arrogance, and show-off.

આયત: 90

وَأُزۡلِفَتِ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ

Paradise will be brought near to the righteous,

આયત: 91

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِلۡغَاوِينَ

and Hellfire will be uncovered to those who went astray,

આયત: 92

وَقِيلَ لَهُمۡ أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ

and they will be told, “Where are those whom you used to worship

આયત: 93

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلۡ يَنصُرُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَنتَصِرُونَ

other than Allah? Can they help you or even help themselves?”

આયત: 94

فَكُبۡكِبُواْ فِيهَا هُمۡ وَٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ

Then they will be hurled into Hell one upon another, along with those who led them astray,

આયત: 95

وَجُنُودُ إِبۡلِيسَ أَجۡمَعُونَ

and the followers of Iblīs, all together.

આયત: 96

قَالُواْ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا يَخۡتَصِمُونَ

There the deviants will say while quarreling with their false deities,

આયત: 97

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ

“By Allah, we were clearly misguided,

આયત: 98

إِذۡ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

when we deemed you equal to the Lord of the worlds.

આયત: 99

وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ

None led us astray except the wicked.

આયત: 100

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ

Now we neither have any intercessors,

આયત: 101

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٖ

nor a close friend.

આયત: 102

فَلَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةٗ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

If only we had a chance to return, we would be among the believers.”

આયત: 103

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them would not believe.

આયત: 104

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Your Lord is surely the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

આયત: 105

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

The people of Noah rejected the messengers^[15]

[15] For denying Noah was equal to denying all of the messengers of Allah.

આયત: 106

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

when their brother Noah said to them, “Do you not fear Allah?

આયત: 107

إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ

I am a trustworthy messenger to you,

આયત: 108

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

so fear Allah, and obey me.

આયત: 109

وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

I seek of you no reward for this; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds;

આયત: 110

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

so fear Allah, and obey me.”

આયત: 111

۞ قَالُوٓاْ أَنُؤۡمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلۡأَرۡذَلُونَ

They said, “Shall we believe in you when you are followed by the lowest people^[16]?”

[16] For they were mostly the poor and ordinary people, who enjoyed no position in society.

આયત: 112

قَالَ وَمَا عِلۡمِي بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ

He said, “What knowledge do I have of what they do?

આયત: 113

إِنۡ حِسَابُهُمۡ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّيۖ لَوۡ تَشۡعُرُونَ

Their reckoning is only with my Lord if you realize!

આયત: 114

وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

I am not going to drive the believers away.

આયત: 115

إِنۡ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ

I am only a clear warner.”

આયત: 118

فَٱفۡتَحۡ بَيۡنِي وَبَيۡنَهُمۡ فَتۡحٗا وَنَجِّنِي وَمَن مَّعِيَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

So judge between me and them decisively, and save me and the believers who are with me.”

I do not ask you for any reward for this; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds.

આયત: 128

أَتَبۡنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ ءَايَةٗ تَعۡبَثُونَ

Do you build a landmark^[17] on every high place for no purpose?

[17] They used to build lofty structures along the road to be seen by passersby, as a symbol of their wealth and power.

આયત: 129

وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَخۡلُدُونَ

So fear Allah, and obey me.

આયત: 132

وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعۡلَمُونَ

And fear the One Who has provided you with everything you know:

આયત: 133

أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنۡعَٰمٖ وَبَنِينَ

قَالُواْ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيۡنَآ أَوَعَظۡتَ أَمۡ لَمۡ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡوَٰعِظِينَ

They said, “It is the same to us whether you admonish us or not.

આયત: 137

إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

This is nothing but the custom of the former people,

આયત: 138

وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

and we will never be punished.”

આયત: 139

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهۡلَكۡنَٰهُمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

Thus they rejected him, so We destroyed them. Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them would not believe,

આયત: 140

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Your Lord is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

આયત: 143

إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ

I am a trustworthy messenger to you,

આયત: 144

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

so fear Allah, and obey me.

આયત: 145

وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

I do not ask you for any reward for this; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds.

આયત: 146

أَتُتۡرَكُونَ فِي مَا هَٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَ

Will you be left secure in whatever you have here,

આયત: 147

فِي جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ

in gardens and springs,

આયત: 148

وَزُرُوعٖ وَنَخۡلٖ طَلۡعُهَا هَضِيمٞ

and in fields of crops and date palms laden with tender fruit,

આયત: 149

وَتَنۡحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ بُيُوتٗا فَٰرِهِينَ

carving out houses in the mountains with great skill?

આયત: 150

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

So fear Allah, and obey me.

આયત: 151

وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓاْ أَمۡرَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ

And do not obey the command of the transgressors,

આયત: 152

ٱلَّذِينَ يُفۡسِدُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا يُصۡلِحُونَ

those who spread corruption in the land and never do what is right.”

આયત: 153

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَحَّرِينَ

They said, “You are but one of those who are bewitched!

આયત: 154

مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُنَا فَأۡتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

You are but a human like us, so bring a sign if you are one of the truthful.”

આયત: 155

قَالَ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةٞ لَّهَا شِرۡبٞ وَلَكُمۡ شِرۡبُ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ

Sālih said, “This is a she-camel^[18]; she will have her share of water and you will have yours, each on a specified day.

[18] That was miraculously sent to them as a sign by Allah.

આયત: 156

وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٖ فَيَأۡخُذَكُمۡ عَذَابُ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٖ

Do not touch her with harm, or you will be seized by the punishment of a horrible day.”

આયત: 157

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصۡبَحُواْ نَٰدِمِينَ

But they hamstrung her, then they became regretful,

આયત: 158

فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

So the punishment seized them^[19]. Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them would not believe.

[19] They were destroyed by a violent earthquake and a blast after Sālih told them: “You have only three days to enjoy yourselves in your houses”. See 11:65. Allah says: “We sent against them a single blast, leaving them like trampled hedge-building twigs”. See 54:31.

આયત: 159

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Your Lord is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

આયત: 160

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ لُوطٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

The people of Lot rejected the messengers,

આયત: 161

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

I do not ask you for any reward for this; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds.

આયત: 165

أَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلذُّكۡرَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Do you approach males with lust among all people^[20],

[20] i.e., Are there any creatures besides you who commit this abominable act?

આયત: 166

وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمۡ رَبُّكُم مِّنۡ أَزۡوَٰجِكُمۚ بَلۡ أَنتُمۡ قَوۡمٌ عَادُونَ

leaving the wives whom your Lord has created for you? You are but a transgressing people.”

આયત: 167

قَالُواْ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ يَٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمُخۡرَجِينَ

They said, “O Lot, If you do not desist, you will surely be expelled.”

આયત: 168

قَالَ إِنِّي لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقَالِينَ

Lot said, “I am one of those who utterly abhor your practice.

આયત: 169

رَبِّ نَجِّنِي وَأَهۡلِي مِمَّا يَعۡمَلُونَ

My Lord, save me and my family from [the consequences of] what they do.”

આયત: 170

فَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

So We saved him and all his family,

આયત: 171

إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ

except an old woman who was among those who remained behind^[21].

[21] Lot's wife, who betrayed him by not believing and remained a disbeliever; thus, she was among those destroyed.

આયત: 172

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Then We destroyed the rest,

આયત: 173

وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم مَّطَرٗاۖ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

and We poured down upon them a rain [of stones]. How terrible was the rain of those who were warned!

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

આયત: 176

كَذَّبَ أَصۡحَٰبُ لۡـَٔيۡكَةِ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

The people of the Forest^[22] rejected the messengers.

[22] i.e., the people of Madyan, to whom Shu‘ayb was sent.

આયત: 177

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ شُعَيۡبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When Shu‘ayb said to them, “Will you not fear Allah?

આયત: 178

إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ

I am a trustworthy messenger to you,

આયત: 179

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

so fear Allah, and obey me.

આયત: 180

وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

I do not ask you for any reward for this; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds.

આયત: 181

۞ أَوۡفُواْ ٱلۡكَيۡلَ وَلَا تَكُونُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡمُخۡسِرِينَ

Give full measure and do not be of those who defraud others,

આયત: 182

وَزِنُواْ بِٱلۡقِسۡطَاسِ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمِ

and weigh with accurate scales,

આયત: 183

وَلَا تَبۡخَسُواْ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشۡيَآءَهُمۡ وَلَا تَعۡثَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُفۡسِدِينَ

and do not defraud people of their goods, nor go about in the land spreading corruption.

આયત: 184

وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكُمۡ وَٱلۡجِبِلَّةَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

And fear the One Who created you and the former peoples^[23].”

[23] i.e., generations of the past.

આયત: 185

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَحَّرِينَ

They said, “You are truly bewitched!

આયત: 186

وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡكَٰذِبِينَ

You are only a human being like us, and we think you are nothing but a liar.

આયત: 187

فَأَسۡقِطۡ عَلَيۡنَا كِسَفٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

So cause pieces of the sky to fall upon us, if you are of the truthful.”

આયત: 188

قَالَ رَبِّيٓ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

Shu‘ayb said, “My Lord knows best whatever you do.”

આયત: 189

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمۡ عَذَابُ يَوۡمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٍ

Thus they rejected him, so they were seized by the punishment of the cloudy day; it was the punishment of a horrible day.

આયત: 190

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them would not believe.

આયત: 191

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Your Lord is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

આયત: 192

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

This is indeed a revelation from the Lord of the worlds,

આયત: 193

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلۡأَمِينُ

which the Trustworthy Spirit [Gabriel] has brought down

આયત: 194

عَلَىٰ قَلۡبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنذِرِينَ

to your heart [O Prophet] so that you may be one of the warners,

આયત: 195

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيّٖ مُّبِينٖ

in a clear Arabic language.

આયત: 196

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِي زُبُرِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

And it was indeed [mentioned] in the scriptures of the former peoples.

આયત: 197

أَوَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُمۡ ءَايَةً أَن يَعۡلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَٰٓؤُاْ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

Was it not a proof for them that the learned men of the Children of Israel recognized it [to be true]^[24]?

[24] e.g., Abdullah ibn Salām, a Jewish scholar, accepted Islam during the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ), for he knew that he came with a true message.

આયત: 198

وَلَوۡ نَزَّلۡنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضِ ٱلۡأَعۡجَمِينَ

If We had sent it down to any of the non-Arabs,

આયત: 199

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيۡهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

and he had recited it to them^[25]; still, they would not have believed in it.

[25] As a miracle from Allah.

આયત: 200

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكۡنَٰهُ فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

This is how We made it [i.e., disbelief] enter the hearts of the wicked.

આયત: 201

لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُاْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِيمَ

They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment,

આયત: 202

فَيَأۡتِيَهُم بَغۡتَةٗ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ

which will come upon them suddenly when they least expect it.

આયત: 203

فَيَقُولُواْ هَلۡ نَحۡنُ مُنظَرُونَ

They will then say, “Can we be granted some respite?”

આયત: 204

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

Do they really seek to hasten Our punishment?

આયત: 205

أَفَرَءَيۡتَ إِن مَّتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ سِنِينَ

Tell me [O Prophet] if We give them a life of ease for years,

આયત: 206

ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يُوعَدُونَ

then there came to them what they were warned of,

આયત: 207

مَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يُمَتَّعُونَ

what would avail them the life of ease that they were given?

આયત: 208

وَمَآ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ

We never destroyed any town without sending them warners,

આયત: 209

ذِكۡرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ

to admonish them, for We are never unjust.

આયત: 210

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتۡ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ

This [Qur’an] is not sent down by the devils^[26],

[26] As the disbelievers claim; rather, it is brought down by Gabriel, the Trustworthy Spirit.

આયત: 211

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِي لَهُمۡ وَمَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ

it is not for them to do this, nor is it within their capability,

આયત: 212

إِنَّهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّمۡعِ لَمَعۡزُولُونَ

for they are strictly barred from overhearing it^[27].

[27] So they cannot eavesdrop on heaven. See 72:9.

આયત: 213

فَلَا تَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُعَذَّبِينَ

So do not call upon any other god besides Allah, lest you become of those who will be punished.

આયત: 214

وَأَنذِرۡ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلۡأَقۡرَبِينَ

And warn [starting with] the nearest kinsfolk,

આયત: 215

وَٱخۡفِضۡ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

and lower your wing [in kindness] to the believers who follow you.

આયત: 216

فَإِنۡ عَصَوۡكَ فَقُلۡ إِنِّي بَرِيٓءٞ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ

But if they disobey you, say, “I disown what you do.”

આયત: 217

وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

And put your trust in the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful,

આયત: 218

ٱلَّذِي يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ

Who sees you when you stand up [for prayer],

આયત: 219

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِي ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ

and your movements among those who prostrate.

આયત: 220

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ

Indeed, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

આયત: 221

هَلۡ أُنَبِّئُكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ

Shall I inform you upon who the devils descend?

આયત: 222

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٖ

They descend upon every sinful liar,

આયત: 223

يُلۡقُونَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ كَٰذِبُونَ

who whisper hearsay in the ears, but most of them are liars.

આયત: 224

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ

As for poets, they are followed by the deviants.

આયત: 225

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِي كُلِّ وَادٖ يَهِيمُونَ

Do you not see that they wander aimlessly in every valley^[28],

[28] Telling lies indiscriminately, praising some, and disparaging others.

આયત: 226

وَأَنَّهُمۡ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفۡعَلُونَ

and that they say what they do not do?

આયત: 227

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَذَكَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرٗا وَٱنتَصَرُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ظُلِمُواْۗ وَسَيَعۡلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٖ يَنقَلِبُونَ

Except those who believe, do righteous deeds, remember Allah much and defend themselves^[29] after being wronged. The wrongdoers will come to know what end awaits them.

[29] By replying to the satire of hostile poets through poetry.
