ആയത്ത്: 1

نٓۚ وَٱلۡقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسۡطُرُونَ

(1) Nūn.^[1724] By the pen and what they inscribe,

[1724]- See footnote to 2:1.

ആയത്ത്: 2

مَآ أَنتَ بِنِعۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجۡنُونٖ

(2) You are not, [O Muḥammad], by the favor of your Lord, a madman.

ആയത്ത്: 3

وَإِنَّ لَكَ لَأَجۡرًا غَيۡرَ مَمۡنُونٖ

(3) And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted.

ആയത്ത്: 4

وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٖ

(4) And indeed, you are of a great moral character.

ആയത്ത്: 5

فَسَتُبۡصِرُ وَيُبۡصِرُونَ

(5) So you will see and they will see

ആയത്ത്: 6

بِأَييِّكُمُ ٱلۡمَفۡتُونُ

(6) Which of you is the afflicted [by a devil].

ആയത്ത്: 7

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلۡمُهۡتَدِينَ

(7) Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has gone astray from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.

ആയത്ത്: 8

فَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

(8) Then do not obey the deniers.

ആയത്ത്: 9

وَدُّواْ لَوۡ تُدۡهِنُ فَيُدۡهِنُونَ

(9) They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you].

ആയത്ത്: 10

وَلَا تُطِعۡ كُلَّ حَلَّافٖ مَّهِينٍ

(10) And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer

ആയത്ത്: 11

هَمَّازٖ مَّشَّآءِۭ بِنَمِيمٖ

ആയത്ത്: 12

مَّنَّاعٖ لِّلۡخَيۡرِ مُعۡتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ

(12) A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful,

ആയത്ത്: 13

عُتُلِّۭ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ زَنِيمٍ

(13) Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender.^[1725]

[1725]- i.e., claiming a particular lineage falsely. The description given in these verses is of al-Waleed bin al-Mugheerah (see also 74:11-25) or possibly, as asserted by Ibn Katheer, al-Akhnas bin Shurayq.

ആയത്ത്: 14

أَن كَانَ ذَا مَالٖ وَبَنِينَ

(14) Because he is a possessor of wealth and children,

ആയത്ത്: 15

إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

(15) When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."

ആയത്ത്: 16

سَنَسِمُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلۡخُرۡطُومِ

(16) We will brand him upon the snout.^[1726]

[1726]- Literally, "trunk," meaning the nose of an elephant or pig.

ആയത്ത്: 17

إِنَّا بَلَوۡنَٰهُمۡ كَمَا بَلَوۡنَآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ إِذۡ أَقۡسَمُواْ لَيَصۡرِمُنَّهَا مُصۡبِحِينَ

(17) Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morning

ആയത്ത്: 18

وَلَا يَسۡتَثۡنُونَ

(18) Without making exception.^[1727]

[1727]- i.e., without conceding that nothing can be accomplished unless Allāh wills, saying, "...if Allāh wills" ("in-shā’-Allāh"). See 18:23-24.

ആയത്ത്: 19

فَطَافَ عَلَيۡهَا طَآئِفٞ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَهُمۡ نَآئِمُونَ

(19) So there came upon it [i.e., the garden] an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep.

ആയത്ത്: 20

فَأَصۡبَحَتۡ كَٱلصَّرِيمِ

(20) And it became as though reaped.

ആയത്ത്: 21

فَتَنَادَوۡاْ مُصۡبِحِينَ

(21) And they called one another at morning,

ആയത്ത്: 22

أَنِ ٱغۡدُواْ عَلَىٰ حَرۡثِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰرِمِينَ

(22) [Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit."

ആയത്ത്: 23

فَٱنطَلَقُواْ وَهُمۡ يَتَخَٰفَتُونَ

(23) So they set out, while lowering their voices,

ആയത്ത്: 24

أَن لَّا يَدۡخُلَنَّهَا ٱلۡيَوۡمَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّسۡكِينٞ

(24) [Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person."

ആയത്ത്: 25

وَغَدَوۡاْ عَلَىٰ حَرۡدٖ قَٰدِرِينَ

(25) And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able.^[1728]

[1728]- To carry out their plan, confident of their ability.

ആയത്ത്: 26

فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡهَا قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا لَضَآلُّونَ

(26) But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost;

ആയത്ത്: 27

بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ

(27) Rather, we have been deprived."

ആയത്ത്: 28

قَالَ أَوۡسَطُهُمۡ أَلَمۡ أَقُل لَّكُمۡ لَوۡلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ

(28) The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allāh]?'"^[1729]

[1729]- i.e., remember or mention Him by saying, "...if Allāh wills." An additional meaning is "praise" or "thank" Him for His bounty.

ആയത്ത്: 29

قَالُواْ سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ

(29) They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

ആയത്ത്: 30

فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَلَٰوَمُونَ

(30) Then they approached one another, blaming each other.

ആയത്ത്: 31

قَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا طَٰغِينَ

(31) They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors.

ആയത്ത്: 32

عَسَىٰ رَبُّنَآ أَن يُبۡدِلَنَا خَيۡرٗا مِّنۡهَآ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا رَٰغِبُونَ

(32) Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."^[1730]

[1730]- Of His mercy, forgiveness and bounty.

ആയത്ത്: 33

كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡعَذَابُۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَكۡبَرُۚ لَوۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ

(33) Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.

ആയത്ത്: 34

إِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

(34) Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure.

ആയത്ത്: 35

أَفَنَجۡعَلُ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ كَٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

(35) Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals?

ആയത്ത്: 36

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ

(36) What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge?

ആയത്ത്: 37

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ كِتَٰبٞ فِيهِ تَدۡرُسُونَ

(37) Or do you have a scripture in which you learn

ആയത്ത്: 38

إِنَّ لَكُمۡ فِيهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ

(38) That indeed for you is whatever you choose?

ആയത്ത്: 39

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ أَيۡمَٰنٌ عَلَيۡنَا بَٰلِغَةٌ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ إِنَّ لَكُمۡ لَمَا تَحۡكُمُونَ

(39) Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge?

ആയത്ത്: 40

سَلۡهُمۡ أَيُّهُم بِذَٰلِكَ زَعِيمٌ

(40) Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible.

ആയത്ത്: 41

أَمۡ لَهُمۡ شُرَكَآءُ فَلۡيَأۡتُواْ بِشُرَكَآئِهِمۡ إِن كَانُواْ صَٰدِقِينَ

(41) Or do they have partners?^[1731] Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful.

[1731]- i.e., those to whom they attribute divinity other than Allāh or partners from among themselves.

ആയത്ത്: 42

يَوۡمَ يُكۡشَفُ عَن سَاقٖ وَيُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ

(42) The Day the shin will be uncovered^[1732] and they are invited to prostration but they [i.e., the disbelievers] will not be able,

[1732]- i.e., when everyone will find before him great difficulty. In accordance with authentic ḥadīths, "the shin" might also refer to that of Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā), before which every believer will prostrate on the Day of Judgement. See footnote to 2:19.

ആയത്ത്: 43

خَٰشِعَةً أَبۡصَٰرُهُمۡ تَرۡهَقُهُمۡ ذِلَّةٞۖ وَقَدۡ كَانُواْ يُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ وَهُمۡ سَٰلِمُونَ

(43) Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.^[1733]

[1733]- During worldly life.

ആയത്ത്: 44

فَذَرۡنِي وَمَن يُكَذِّبُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِۖ سَنَسۡتَدۡرِجُهُم مِّنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ

(44) So leave Me, [O Muḥammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies this statement [i.e., the Qur’ān]. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.^[1734]

[1734]- Allāh will increase His favors to them in this world by way of trial, whereby they will sink deeper into sin and thus into destruction.

ആയത്ത്: 45

وَأُمۡلِي لَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ كَيۡدِي مَتِينٌ

(45) And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.

ആയത്ത്: 46

أَمۡ تَسۡـَٔلُهُمۡ أَجۡرٗا فَهُم مِّن مَّغۡرَمٖ مُّثۡقَلُونَ

(46) Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?

ആയത്ത്: 47

أَمۡ عِندَهُمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبُ فَهُمۡ يَكۡتُبُونَ

(47) Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?

ആയത്ത്: 48

فَٱصۡبِرۡ لِحُكۡمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُن كَصَاحِبِ ٱلۡحُوتِ إِذۡ نَادَىٰ وَهُوَ مَكۡظُومٞ

(48) Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muḥammad], and be not like the companion of the fish [i.e., Jonah] when he called out while he was distressed.

ആയത്ത്: 49

لَّوۡلَآ أَن تَدَٰرَكَهُۥ نِعۡمَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ لَنُبِذَ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ مَذۡمُومٞ

(49) If not that a favor [i.e., mercy] from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.^[1735]

[1735]- But instead, Allāh accepted his repentance and provided means for his recovery. See 37:139-148.

ആയത്ത്: 50

فَٱجۡتَبَٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَجَعَلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

(50) And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.

ആയത്ത്: 51

وَإِن يَكَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَيُزۡلِقُونَكَ بِأَبۡصَٰرِهِمۡ لَمَّا سَمِعُواْ ٱلذِّكۡرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُۥ لَمَجۡنُونٞ

(51) And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes [i.e., looks] when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad."

ആയത്ത്: 52

وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرٞ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

(52) But it is not except a reminder to the worlds.
