ആയത്ത്: 1

وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفّٗا

(1) By those [angels] lined up in rows

ആയത്ത്: 2

فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجۡرٗا

(2) And those who drive [the clouds]

ആയത്ത്: 3

فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكۡرًا

(3) And those who recite the message,^[1286]

[1286]- To the prophets or among themselves. Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) swears by these three kinds of angels to the fact mentioned in the following verse.

ആയത്ത്: 4

إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمۡ لَوَٰحِدٞ

(4) Indeed, your God is One,

ആയത്ത്: 5

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلۡمَشَٰرِقِ

(5) Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises.^[1287]

[1287]- i.e., each point or place of sunrise.

ആയത്ത്: 6

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلۡكَوَاكِبِ

(6) Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars

ആയത്ത്: 7

وَحِفۡظٗا مِّن كُلِّ شَيۡطَٰنٖ مَّارِدٖ

(7) And as protection against every rebellious devil

ആയത്ത്: 8

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡمَلَإِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ وَيُقۡذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٖ

(8) [So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side,^[1288]

[1288]- By flaming meteors.

ആയത്ത്: 9

دُحُورٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ وَاصِبٌ

(9) Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,

ആയത്ത്: 10

إِلَّا مَنۡ خَطِفَ ٱلۡخَطۡفَةَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٞ ثَاقِبٞ

(10) Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].

ആയത്ത്: 11

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَهُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَم مَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَآۚ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٖ لَّازِبِۭ

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

ആയത്ത്: 12

بَلۡ عَجِبۡتَ وَيَسۡخَرُونَ

(12) But you wonder, while they mock,

ആയത്ത്: 13

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ لَا يَذۡكُرُونَ

(13) And when they are reminded, they remember not.

ആയത്ത്: 14

وَإِذَا رَأَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يَسۡتَسۡخِرُونَ

(14) And when they see a sign, they ridicule.

ആയത്ത്: 15

وَقَالُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٌ

(15) And say, "This is not but obvious magic.

ആയത്ത്: 16

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ

(16) When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

ആയത്ത്: 17

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

(17) And our forefathers [as well]?"

ആയത്ത്: 18

قُلۡ نَعَمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ دَٰخِرُونَ

(18) Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible."

ആയത്ത്: 19

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ فَإِذَا هُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ

(19) It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.

ആയത്ത്: 20

وَقَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ

(20) They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."

ആയത്ത്: 21

هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

(21) [They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."

ആയത്ത്: 22

۞ ٱحۡشُرُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ وَأَزۡوَٰجَهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡبُدُونَ

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

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

ആയത്ത്: 23

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهۡدُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

(23) Other than Allāh, and guide them to the path of Hellfire

ആയത്ത്: 24

وَقِفُوهُمۡۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسۡـُٔولُونَ

(24) And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."

ആയത്ത്: 25

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 26

بَلۡ هُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ مُسۡتَسۡلِمُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 27

وَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

(27) And they will approach one another asking [i.e., blaming] each other.

ആയത്ത്: 28

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ تَأۡتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

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

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

ആയത്ത്: 29

قَالُواْ بَل لَّمۡ تَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 30

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيۡكُم مِّن سُلۡطَٰنِۭۖ بَلۡ كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمٗا طَٰغِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 31

فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡنَا قَوۡلُ رَبِّنَآۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ

(31) So the word [i.e., decree] of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].

ആയത്ത്: 32

فَأَغۡوَيۡنَٰكُمۡ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ

(32) And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."

ആയത്ത്: 33

فَإِنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُونَ

(33) So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment.

ആയത്ത്: 34

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

(34) Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.

ആയത്ത്: 35

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوٓاْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ

(35) Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allāh," were arrogant

ആയത്ത്: 36

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓاْ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٖ مَّجۡنُونِۭ

(36) And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"

ആയത്ത്: 37

بَلۡ جَآءَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

(37) Rather, he [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)] has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.

ആയത്ത്: 38

إِنَّكُمۡ لَذَآئِقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡأَلِيمِ

(38) Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment,

ആയത്ത്: 39

وَمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

(39) And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do -

ആയത്ത്: 40

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

(40) But not the chosen servants of Allāh.

ആയത്ത്: 41

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

(41) Those will have a provision determined -

ആയത്ത്: 42

فَوَٰكِهُ وَهُم مُّكۡرَمُونَ

(42) Fruits;^[1291] and they will be honored

[1291]- Meaning everything delicious.

ആയത്ത്: 43

فِي جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

(43) In gardens of pleasure

ആയത്ത്: 44

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ

(44) On thrones facing one another.

ആയത്ത്: 45

يُطَافُ عَلَيۡهِم بِكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينِۭ

(45) There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring,

ആയത്ത്: 46

بَيۡضَآءَ لَذَّةٖ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ

(46) White and delicious to the drinkers;

ആയത്ത്: 47

لَا فِيهَا غَوۡلٞ وَلَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا يُنزَفُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 48

وَعِندَهُمۡ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرۡفِ عِينٞ

(48) And with them will be women limiting [their] glances,^[1292] with large, [beautiful] eyes,

[1292]- i.e., chaste and modest, looking only at their mates.

ആയത്ത്: 49

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيۡضٞ مَّكۡنُونٞ

(49) As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected.

ആയത്ത്: 50

فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

(50) And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.

ആയത്ത്: 51

قَالَ قَآئِلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٞ

(51) A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth].

ആയത്ത്: 52

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُصَدِّقِينَ

(52) Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe

ആയത്ത്: 53

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ

(53) That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'"

ആയത്ത്: 54

قَالَ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ

(54) He will say,^[1293] "Would you [care to] look?"

[1293]- To his companions in Paradise.

ആയത്ത്: 55

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِي سَوَآءِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

(55) And he will look and see him^[1294] in the midst of the Hellfire.

[1294]- The companion who had tried to dissuade him from belief on earth.

ആയത്ത്: 56

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرۡدِينِ

(56) He will say, "By Allāh, you almost ruined me.

ആയത്ത്: 57

وَلَوۡلَا نِعۡمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡضَرِينَ

(57) If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell].

ആയത്ത്: 58

أَفَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ

(58) Then, are we not to die

ആയത്ത്: 59

إِلَّا مَوۡتَتَنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

(59) Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?"

ആയത്ത്: 60

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ

(60) Indeed, this is the great attainment.

ആയത്ത്: 61

لِمِثۡلِ هَٰذَا فَلۡيَعۡمَلِ ٱلۡعَٰمِلُونَ

(61) For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work.

ആയത്ത്: 62

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ نُّزُلًا أَمۡ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

(62) Is that [i.e., Paradise] a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqūm?

ആയത്ത്: 63

إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰهَا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ

(63) Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers.

ആയത്ത്: 64

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٞ تَخۡرُجُ فِيٓ أَصۡلِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

(64) Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire,

ആയത്ത്: 65

طَلۡعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ

(65) Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils.

ആയത്ത്: 66

فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَأٓكِلُونَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 67

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبٗا مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ

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

ആയത്ത്: 68

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

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

ആയത്ത്: 69

إِنَّهُمۡ أَلۡفَوۡاْ ءَابَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّينَ

(69) Indeed they found their fathers astray.

ആയത്ത്: 70

فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 71

وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 72

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 73

فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 74

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

(74) But not the chosen servants of Allāh.

ആയത്ത്: 75

وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٞ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِيبُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 76

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

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

ആയത്ത്: 77

وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 78

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 79

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٖ فِي ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 80

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 81

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 82

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 83

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 84

إِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٍ

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

ആയത്ത്: 85

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 86

أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 87

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 88

فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ

(88) And he cast a look at the stars

ആയത്ത്: 89

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ

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

ആയത്ത്: 90

فَتَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 91

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

(91) Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?^[1295]

[1295]- Consume the offerings placed before them.

ആയത്ത്: 92

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 93

فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ

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

ആയത്ത്: 94

فَأَقۡبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 95

قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 96

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 97

قَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنۡيَٰنٗا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِي ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

(97) They said, "Construct for him a structure [i.e., furnace] and throw him into the burning fire."

ആയത്ത്: 98

فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 99

وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ

(99) And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.

ആയത്ത്: 100

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 101

فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ

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

ആയത്ത്: 102

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡيَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَيَّ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّيٓ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِيٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ

(102) And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion,^[1296] he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allāh wills, of the steadfast."

[1296]- i.e., the ability to work and be of assistance.

ആയത്ത്: 103

فَلَمَّآ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِينِ

(103) And when they had both submitted^[1297] and he put him down upon his forehead,

[1297]- To the command of Allāh.

ആയത്ത്: 104

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ

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

ആയത്ത്: 105

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 106

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ

(106) Indeed, this was the clear trial.

ആയത്ത്: 107

وَفَدَيۡنَٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيمٖ

(107) And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,^[1298]

[1298]- Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) sent a huge ram to be sacrificed in place of Ishmael.

ആയത്ത്: 108

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 109

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

(109) "Peace upon Abraham."

ആയത്ത്: 110

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 111

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 112

وَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِإِسۡحَٰقَ نَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

(112) And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.^[1299]

[1299]- This verifies that the firstborn son who was to be sacrificed was Ishmael and not Isaac, as claimed by the Jews and Christians.

ആയത്ത്: 113

وَبَٰرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسۡحَٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنٞ وَظَالِمٞ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِينٞ

(113) And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself [i.e., sinner].

ആയത്ത്: 114

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 115

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

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

ആയത്ത്: 116

وَنَصَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 117

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 118

وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 119

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

(119) And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations:

ആയത്ത്: 120

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

(120) "Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

ആയത്ത്: 121

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 122

إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 123

وَإِنَّ إِلۡيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 124

إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 125

أَتَدۡعُونَ بَعۡلٗا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ

(125) Do you call upon Baʿl^[1300] and leave the best of creators -

[1300]- The name of a great idol worshipped by the people and said to mean "lord."

ആയത്ത്: 126

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

(126) Allāh, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?"

ആയത്ത്: 127

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

(127) And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],

ആയത്ത്: 128

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

(128) Except the chosen servants of Allāh.

ആയത്ത്: 129

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 130

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلۡ يَاسِينَ

(130) "Peace upon Elias."^[1301]

[1301]- Ilyāseen is said by some commentators to be a plural form, meaning "Elias and those who followed him."

ആയത്ത്: 131

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 132

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 133

وَإِنَّ لُوطٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

(133) And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.

ആയത്ത്: 134

إِذۡ نَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

(134) [So mention] when We saved him and his family, all,

ആയത്ത്: 135

إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ

(135) Except an old woman [i.e., his wife] among those who remained [with the evildoers].

ആയത്ത്: 136

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

(136) Then We destroyed the others.

ആയത്ത്: 137

وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِينَ

(137) And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

ആയത്ത്: 138

وَبِٱلَّيۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 139

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 140

إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ

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

ആയത്ത്: 141

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِينَ

(141) And he drew lots^[1302] and was among the losers.

[1302]- To determine who would be cast overboard in order to save the other passengers. Having been overloaded, the ship was on the verge of sinking.

ആയത്ത്: 142

فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ

(142) Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.^[1303]

[1303]- For having given up hope on his people prematurely and having left them without permission from Allāh.

ആയത്ത്: 143

فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 144

لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطۡنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ

(144) He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.^[1304]

[1304]- Meaning that the belly of the fish would have become his grave.

ആയത്ത്: 145

۞ فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ

(145) But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.

ആയത്ത്: 146

وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ

(146) And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.^[1305]

[1305]- Which is known to give cooling shade and to be a repellent of flies.

ആയത്ത്: 147

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ

(147) And We sent him^[1306] to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.

[1306]- i.e., returned him thereafter.

ആയത്ത്: 148

فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ

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

ആയത്ത്: 149

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ

(149) So inquire of them, [O Muḥammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?^[1307]

[1307]- The people of Makkah claimed that the angels were daughters of Allāh, yet they preferred sons for themselves.

ആയത്ത്: 150

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 151

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 152

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 153

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ

(153) Has He chosen daughters over sons?

ആയത്ത്: 154

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ

(154) What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?

ആയത്ത്: 155

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

(155) Then will you not be reminded?

ആയത്ത്: 156

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ

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

[1308]- i.e., evidence.

ആയത്ത്: 157

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 158

وَجَعَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُۥ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

(158) And they have made [i.e., claimed] between Him and the jinn a lineage, but the jinn have already known that they [who made such claims] will be brought [to punishment].

ആയത്ത്: 159

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

(159) Exalted is Allāh above what they describe,

ആയത്ത്: 160

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 161

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 162

مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 163

إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

(163) Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.^[1309]

[1309]- Due to his disbelief and evil deeds.

ആയത്ത്: 164

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

(164) [The angels say],^[1310] "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.^[1311]

[1310]- Refuting what the disbelievers had said about them.
[1311]- For worship. Or "an assigned task" to perform.

ആയത്ത്: 165

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 166

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 167

وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ

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

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

ആയത്ത്: 168

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 169

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 170

فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ

(170) But they disbelieved in it,^[1313] so they are going to know.

[1313]- i.e., in their own message, the Qur’ān.

ആയത്ത്: 171

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 172

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 173

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

(173) And [that] indeed, Our soldiers [i.e., the believers] will be those who overcome.^[1314]

[1314]- If not in this world, then definitely in the Hereafter.

ആയത്ത്: 174

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

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

ആയത്ത്: 175

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 176

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

(176) Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

ആയത്ത്: 177

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

(177) But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.

ആയത്ത്: 178

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

(178) And leave them for a time.

ആയത്ത്: 179

وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 180

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

(180) Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.

ആയത്ത്: 181

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

(181) And peace upon the messengers.

ആയത്ത്: 182

وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

(182) And praise to Allāh, Lord of the worlds.
