ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 3

فَٱلۡجَٰرِيَٰتِ يُسۡرٗا

and by the ships that sail with ease,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 4

He who is diverted from it is destined to be diverted.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 10

قُتِلَ ٱلۡخَرَّٰصُونَ

Doomed^[3] are those who base their beliefs on conjecture.

[3] May they be destroyed.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 11

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ فِي غَمۡرَةٖ سَاهُونَ

those who are steeped in ignorance heedlessly.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 12

يَسۡـَٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ

They ask [mockingly], “When is the Day of Judgment?”

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 13

يَوۡمَ هُمۡ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفۡتَنُونَ

It is the Day when they will be punished by the Fire.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 14

ذُوقُواْ فِتۡنَتَكُمۡ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

[It will be said], “Taste your punishment! This is what you were seeking to hasten.”

receiving what their Lord will give them, for they were indeed doers of good beforehand.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 17

كَانُواْ قَلِيلٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ مَا يَهۡجَعُونَ

They used to sleep only a little at night^[4],

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 18

وَبِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ هُمۡ يَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ

and before dawn they would seek forgiveness^[5],

[5] Supererogatory prayers and supplications are recommended before dawn.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 19

وَفِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ حَقّٞ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ

and in their wealth, there was a share for the beggar and the destitute.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 20

وَفِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ءَايَٰتٞ لِّلۡمُوقِنِينَ

On earth there are signs for those who are certain in faith,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 21

وَفِيٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡۚ أَفَلَا تُبۡصِرُونَ

and also within yourselves. Do you not see?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 22

وَفِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزۡقُكُمۡ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ

فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقّٞ مِّثۡلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمۡ تَنطِقُونَ

By the Lord of the heaven and earth, this [resurrection] is certainly as true as the fact that you can speak.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 24

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيۡفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلۡمُكۡرَمِينَ

Has there come to you the story of Abraham’s honored guests^[6]?

[6] Honorable angels with Allah.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 25

إِذۡ دَخَلُواْ عَلَيۡهِ فَقَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗاۖ قَالَ سَلَٰمٞ قَوۡمٞ مُّنكَرُونَ

When they came to him and said, “Peace.” He said, “Upon you be peace.” [saying to himself] “Unknown people!”

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 26

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجۡلٖ سَمِينٖ

Then he went quickly to his household, and came with a fat [roasted] calf,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 27

فَقَرَّبَهُۥٓ إِلَيۡهِمۡ قَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

and placed it before them and said, “Will you not eat?”

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 28

فَأَوۡجَسَ مِنۡهُمۡ خِيفَةٗۖ قَالُواْ لَا تَخَفۡۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ عَلِيمٖ

He felt apprehensive about them^[7]. They said, “Do not be afraid,” and gave him glad tidings of a knowledgeable son.

[7] In their culture, if a guest refused to eat the food provided, it was considered a sign of ill will. See footnote 11:70.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 29

فَأَقۡبَلَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتُهُۥ فِي صَرَّةٖ فَصَكَّتۡ وَجۡهَهَا وَقَالَتۡ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٞ

His wife cried out loud, and struck her face [in astonishment] and said, “[I am] a barren old woman!”

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 30

قَالُواْ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ

They said, “This is what your Lord said. Indeed, He is the All-Wise, the All-Knowing.”

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 31

۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطۡبُكُمۡ أَيُّهَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ

Abraham said, “Then what is your mission, O messengers?”

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 32

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّآ أُرۡسِلۡنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمٖ مُّجۡرِمِينَ

They said, “We have been sent to a wicked people,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 33

لِنُرۡسِلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةٗ مِّن طِينٖ

to send down upon them stones of clay,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 34

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ

marked by your Lord for the transgressors.”

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 35

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

We brought out those believers who were there,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 36

فَمَا وَجَدۡنَا فِيهَا غَيۡرَ بَيۡتٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ

but We only found in it one Muslim household^[8].

[8] Lot's family except his wife.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 37

وَتَرَكۡنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِيمَ

And We left there a sign^[9] for those who fear the painful punishment.

[9] i.e., the ruins of Sodom or the Dead Sea in Palestine, as a lesson for people.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 38

وَفِي مُوسَىٰٓ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ بِسُلۡطَٰنٖ مُّبِينٖ

And [there is a sign in the story of] Moses when We sent him to Pharaoh with compelling proofs,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 39

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكۡنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَٰحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٞ

But he and his supporters turned away, and he said about [Moses], “A magician or a madman!”

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 40

فَأَخَذۡنَٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ

So We seized him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea while he was blameworthy^[10].

[10] For his disbelief and arrogance.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 41

وَفِي عَادٍ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلۡعَقِيمَ

And [there is a sign in the story of] ‘Ād, when We sent against them the devastating barren wind^[11].

[11] Devoid of all goodness such as carrying rain or fertilizing trees.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 42

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَيۡءٍ أَتَتۡ عَلَيۡهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتۡهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ

It spared nothing it came upon except that it reduced it to ruin and decay.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 43

وَفِي ثَمُودَ إِذۡ قِيلَ لَهُمۡ تَمَتَّعُواْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

And [there is a sign in the story of] Thamūd, when they were told, “Enjoy yourselves for a while^[12].”

[12] i.e., only three days. See 11:65.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 44

فَعَتَوۡاْ عَنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّهِمۡ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّٰعِقَةُ وَهُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ

But they rebelled against the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them, while they were looking on.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 45

فَمَا ٱسۡتَطَٰعُواْ مِن قِيَامٖ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُنتَصِرِينَ

They could not withstand it, nor could they ward it off.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 46

وَقَوۡمَ نُوحٖ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَوۡمٗا فَٰسِقِينَ

And the people of Noah [were also destroyed] before them. They were indeed a rebellious people.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 47

وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيۡنَٰهَا بِأَيۡيْدٖ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ

We built the heaven with might^[13], and We are indeed expanding it.

[13] ’Ayd does not mean "hands" here. This is not from the verses of Allah's attributes, for Allah Almighty did not add it to Himself, i.e., He did not say, "My ’ayd, or Our ’ayd".

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 48

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فَرَشۡنَٰهَا فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمَٰهِدُونَ

And We spread out the earth. How well did We smooth it out^[14]!

[14] The earth was spread out to accommodate the creatures. Its spherical shape is mentioned in 39:5.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 49

وَمِن كُلِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَا زَوۡجَيۡنِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ

And We have created everything in pairs^[15], so that you may take heed.

[15] Such as day and night, male and female, light and darkness, sweet and bitter, hot and cold, etc.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 50

فَفِرُّوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ

So flee to Allah^[16]. Indeed, I am a clear warner to you from Him.

[16] From His punishment to His reward by shunning disbelief and sin and by obeying Him.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 51

وَلَا تَجۡعَلُواْ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ

And do not set up another god with Allah. Indeed, I am a clear warner to you from Him.”

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 52

كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُواْ سَاحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٌ

Likewise, no messenger came to those before them without being told: “A magician, or a madman!”

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 53

أَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِهِۦۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمٞ طَاغُونَ

Did they suggest this to one another^[17]? Rather they are transgressing people.

[17] i.e., Did the previous disbelievers pass on these false allegations to the pagans of Makkah so they repeat their words?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 54

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٖ

So turn away from them [O Prophet], for you are not to blame^[18].

[18] After you have delivered the message.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 55

وَذَكِّرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

But keep reminding them, for reminder benefits the believers.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 56

وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُونِ

I have not created the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 57

مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنۡهُم مِّن رِّزۡقٖ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطۡعِمُونِ

I seek no provision from them, nor do I want them to feed Me.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 58

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلۡقُوَّةِ ٱلۡمَتِينُ

Indeed, it is Allah Who is the All-Provider^[19], Lord of Power, the Mighty.

[19] He Provides His creatures with everything they need. Among His provisions is guidance.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 59

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذَنُوبٗا مِّثۡلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصۡحَٰبِهِمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ

Indeed, those who do wrong will have a share [of punishment] like that of their predecessors, so let them not ask Me to hasten it.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 60

فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن يَوۡمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ

So woe to those who disbelieve from [the punishment of] the Day which they are promised.
