Al-Hijr

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 1

الٓرۚ تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَقُرۡءَانٖ مُّبِينٖ

(1) Alif, Lām, Rā.^[668] These are the verses of the Book and a clear Qur’ān [i.e., recitation].

[668]- See footnote to 2:1.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 2

رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوۡ كَانُواْ مُسۡلِمِينَ

(2) Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish^[669] that they had been Muslims.

[669]- On the Day of Judgement or at the time of death.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 3

ذَرۡهُمۡ يَأۡكُلُواْ وَيَتَمَتَّعُواْ وَيُلۡهِهِمُ ٱلۡأَمَلُۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ

(3) Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 4

وَمَآ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

(4) And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 5

مَّا تَسۡبِقُ مِنۡ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ

(5) No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 6

وَقَالُواْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِي نُزِّلَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلذِّكۡرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجۡنُونٞ

(6) And they say, "O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad.^[670]

[670]- Literally, "possessed by jinn."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 7

لَّوۡمَا تَأۡتِينَا بِٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

(7) Why do you not bring us the angels, if you should be among the truthful?"

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 8

مَا نُنَزِّلُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوٓاْ إِذٗا مُّنظَرِينَ

(8) We do not send down the angels except with truth;^[671] and they [i.e., the disbelievers] would not then be reprieved.

[671]- i.e., with a message or, as the conclusion of the verse suggests, to carry out a promised punishment.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 9

إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَزَّلۡنَا ٱلذِّكۡرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ

(9) Indeed, it is We who sent down the message [i.e., the Qur’ān], and indeed, We will be its guardian.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 10

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ فِي شِيَعِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

(10) And We had certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muḥammad], among the sects of the former peoples.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 11

وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

(11) And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 12

كَذَٰلِكَ نَسۡلُكُهُۥ فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

(12) Thus do We insert it [i.e., denial] into the hearts of the criminals.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 13

لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ وَقَدۡ خَلَتۡ سُنَّةُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

(13) They will not believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former peoples.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 14

وَلَوۡ فَتَحۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم بَابٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّواْ فِيهِ يَعۡرُجُونَ

(14) And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 15

لَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتۡ أَبۡصَٰرُنَا بَلۡ نَحۡنُ قَوۡمٞ مَّسۡحُورُونَ

(15) They would say, "Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 16

وَلَقَدۡ جَعَلۡنَا فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجٗا وَزَيَّنَّٰهَا لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ

(16) And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 17

وَحَفِظۡنَٰهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيۡطَٰنٖ رَّجِيمٍ

(17) And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allāh]

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 18

إِلَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَرَقَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٞ مُّبِينٞ

(18) Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 19

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَدَدۡنَٰهَا وَأَلۡقَيۡنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ مَّوۡزُونٖ

(19) And the earth - We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 20

وَجَعَلۡنَا لَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَعَٰيِشَ وَمَن لَّسۡتُمۡ لَهُۥ بِرَٰزِقِينَ

(20) And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers.^[672]

[672]- Allāh has put at your service other men and animals for which He provides. An additional meaning is that Allāh provides means for your living and for all other creatures as well.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 21

وَإِن مِّن شَيۡءٍ إِلَّا عِندَنَا خَزَآئِنُهُۥ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ

(21) And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known [i.e., specified] measure.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 22

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَا ٱلرِّيَٰحَ لَوَٰقِحَ فَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَأَسۡقَيۡنَٰكُمُوهُ وَمَآ أَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ بِخَٰزِنِينَ

(22) And We have sent the fertilizing winds^[673] and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers.

[673]- Causing precipitation in rainclouds or carrying pollen. Another meaning is "pregnant winds," i.e., those carrying rainclouds.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 23

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ نُحۡيِۦ وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡوَٰرِثُونَ

(23) And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor.^[674]

[674]- Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) remains after all creation has passed away.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 24

وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا ٱلۡمُسۡتَقۡدِمِينَ مِنكُمۡ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا ٱلۡمُسۡتَـٔۡخِرِينَ

(24) And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come].

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 25

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحۡشُرُهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٞ

(25) And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 26

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِن صَلۡصَٰلٖ مِّنۡ حَمَإٖ مَّسۡنُونٖ

(26) And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 27

وَٱلۡجَآنَّ خَلَقۡنَٰهُ مِن قَبۡلُ مِن نَّارِ ٱلسَّمُومِ

(27) And the jinn We created before from scorching fire.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 28

وَإِذۡ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّي خَٰلِقُۢ بَشَرٗا مِّن صَلۡصَٰلٖ مِّنۡ حَمَإٖ مَّسۡنُونٖ

(28) And [mention, O Muḥammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 29

فَإِذَا سَوَّيۡتُهُۥ وَنَفَخۡتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُواْ لَهُۥ سَٰجِدِينَ

(29) And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul,^[675] then fall down to him in prostration."

[675]- The element of life and soul which Allāh created for that body, not His own spirit or part of Himself (as some mistakenly believe).

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 30

فَسَجَدَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعُونَ

(30) So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 31

إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ أَبَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ

(31) Except Iblees;^[676] he refused to be with those who prostrated.

[676]- Who was of the jinn. See 18:50.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 32

قَالَ يَٰٓإِبۡلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ

(32) [Allāh] said, "O Iblees, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate?"

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 33

قَالَ لَمۡ أَكُن لِّأَسۡجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقۡتَهُۥ مِن صَلۡصَٰلٖ مِّنۡ حَمَإٖ مَّسۡنُونٖ

(33) He said, "Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 34

قَالَ فَٱخۡرُجۡ مِنۡهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٞ

(34) [Allāh] said, "Then depart from it,^[677] for indeed, you are expelled.

[677]- Your position in the heavens.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 35

وَإِنَّ عَلَيۡكَ ٱللَّعۡنَةَ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ

(35) And indeed, upon you is the curse until the Day of Recompense."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 36

قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرۡنِيٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ

(36) He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 37

قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنظَرِينَ

(37) [Allāh] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 38

إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡوَقۡتِ ٱلۡمَعۡلُومِ

(38) Until the Day of the time well-known."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 39

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَغۡوَيۡتَنِي لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَأُغۡوِيَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

(39) [Iblees] said, "My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make [disobedience] attractive to them [i.e., mankind] on earth, and I will mislead them all

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 40

إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنۡهُمُ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

(40) Except, among them, Your chosen servants."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 41

قَالَ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ عَلَيَّ مُسۡتَقِيمٌ

(41) [Allāh] said, "This is a path [of return] to Me [that is] straight.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 42

إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيۡسَ لَكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٌ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡغَاوِينَ

(42) Indeed, My servants - no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 43

وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوۡعِدُهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

(43) And indeed, Hell is the promised place for them all.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 44

لَهَا سَبۡعَةُ أَبۡوَٰبٖ لِّكُلِّ بَابٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ جُزۡءٞ مَّقۡسُومٌ

(44) It has seven gates; for every gate is of them [i.e., Satan's followers] a portion designated."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 45

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٍ

(45) Indeed, the righteous will be within gardens and springs,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 46

ٱدۡخُلُوهَا بِسَلَٰمٍ ءَامِنِينَ

(46) [Having been told], "Enter it in peace, safe [and secure]."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 47

وَنَزَعۡنَا مَا فِي صُدُورِهِم مِّنۡ غِلٍّ إِخۡوَٰنًا عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ

(47) And We will remove whatever is in their breasts of resentment,^[678] [so they will be] brothers, on thrones facing each other.

[678]- See footnote to 7:43.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 48

لَا يَمَسُّهُمۡ فِيهَا نَصَبٞ وَمَا هُم مِّنۡهَا بِمُخۡرَجِينَ

(48) No fatigue will touch them therein, nor from it will they [ever] be removed.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 49

۞ نَبِّئۡ عِبَادِيٓ أَنِّيٓ أَنَا ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

(49) [O Muḥammad], inform My servants that it is I who am the Forgiving, the Merciful,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 50

وَأَنَّ عَذَابِي هُوَ ٱلۡعَذَابُ ٱلۡأَلِيمُ

(50) And that it is My punishment which is the painful punishment.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 51

وَنَبِّئۡهُمۡ عَن ضَيۡفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

(51) And inform them about the guests of Abraham,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 52

إِذۡ دَخَلُواْ عَلَيۡهِ فَقَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗا قَالَ إِنَّا مِنكُمۡ وَجِلُونَ

(52) When they entered upon him and said, "Peace." [Abraham] said, "Indeed, we are fearful [i.e., apprehensive] of you."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 53

قَالُواْ لَا تَوۡجَلۡ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَٰمٍ عَلِيمٖ

(53) [The angels] said, "Fear not. Indeed, we give you good tidings of a learned boy."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 54

قَالَ أَبَشَّرۡتُمُونِي عَلَىٰٓ أَن مَّسَّنِيَ ٱلۡكِبَرُ فَبِمَ تُبَشِّرُونَ

(54) He said, "Have you given me good tidings although old age has come upon me? Then of what [wonder] do you inform?"

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 55

قَالُواْ بَشَّرۡنَٰكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ فَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡقَٰنِطِينَ

(55) They said, "We have given you good tidings in truth, so do not be of the despairing."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 56

قَالَ وَمَن يَقۡنَطُ مِن رَّحۡمَةِ رَبِّهِۦٓ إِلَّا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ

(56) He said, "And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?"

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 57

قَالَ فَمَا خَطۡبُكُمۡ أَيُّهَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ

(57) [Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 58

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّآ أُرۡسِلۡنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمٖ مُّجۡرِمِينَ

(58) They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 59

إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٍ إِنَّا لَمُنَجُّوهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

(59) Except the family of Lot; indeed, we will save them all

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 60

إِلَّا ٱمۡرَأَتَهُۥ قَدَّرۡنَآ إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ

(60) Except his wife." We [i.e., Allāh] decreed that she is of those who remain behind.^[679]

[679]- For having collaborated with the evildoers.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 61

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ءَالَ لُوطٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ

(61) And when the messengers came to the family of Lot,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 62

قَالَ إِنَّكُمۡ قَوۡمٞ مُّنكَرُونَ

(62) He said, "Indeed, you are people unknown."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 63

قَالُواْ بَلۡ جِئۡنَٰكَ بِمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَمۡتَرُونَ

(63) They said, "But we have come to you with that about which they were disputing,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 64

وَأَتَيۡنَٰكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَإِنَّا لَصَٰدِقُونَ

(64) And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 65

فَأَسۡرِ بِأَهۡلِكَ بِقِطۡعٖ مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱتَّبِعۡ أَدۡبَٰرَهُمۡ وَلَا يَلۡتَفِتۡ مِنكُمۡ أَحَدٞ وَٱمۡضُواْ حَيۡثُ تُؤۡمَرُونَ

(65) So set out with your family during a portion of the night and follow behind them and let not anyone among you look back and continue on to where you are commanded."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 66

وَقَضَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡأَمۡرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مَقۡطُوعٞ مُّصۡبِحِينَ

(66) And We conveyed to him [the decree] of that matter: that those [sinners] would be eliminated by early morning.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 67

وَجَآءَ أَهۡلُ ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ يَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ

(67) And the people of the city came rejoicing.^[680]

[680]- At the news of Lot's visitors.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 68

قَالَ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ضَيۡفِي فَلَا تَفۡضَحُونِ

(68) [Lot] said, "Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 69

وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُخۡزُونِ

(69) And fear Allāh and do not disgrace me."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 70

قَالُوٓاْ أَوَلَمۡ نَنۡهَكَ عَنِ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

(70) They said, "Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?"

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 71

قَالَ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِيٓ إِن كُنتُمۡ فَٰعِلِينَ

(71) [Lot] said, "These are my daughters^[681] - if you would be doers [of lawful marriage]."

[681]- i.e., the women of his community who were lawful for marriage.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 72

لَعَمۡرُكَ إِنَّهُمۡ لَفِي سَكۡرَتِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ

(72) By your life, [O Muḥammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 73

فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ مُشۡرِقِينَ

(73) So the shriek^[682] seized them at sunrise.

[682]- See footnote to 11:67.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 74

فَجَعَلۡنَا عَٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةٗ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ

(74) And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 75

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّلۡمُتَوَسِّمِينَ

(75) Indeed in that are signs for those who discern.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 76

وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٖ مُّقِيمٍ

(76) And indeed, they [i.e., those cities] are [situated] on an established road.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 77

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

(77) Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 78

وَإِن كَانَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡأَيۡكَةِ لَظَٰلِمِينَ

(78) And the companions of the thicket [i.e., the people of Madyan] were [also] wrongdoers,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 79

فَٱنتَقَمۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٖ مُّبِينٖ

(79) So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 80

وَلَقَدۡ كَذَّبَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡحِجۡرِ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

(80) And certainly did the companions of al-Ḥijr^[683] [i.e., the Thamūd] deny the messengers.

[683]- The valley of stone.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 81

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا فَكَانُواْ عَنۡهَا مُعۡرِضِينَ

(81) And We gave them Our signs, but from them they were turning away.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 82

وَكَانُواْ يَنۡحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا ءَامِنِينَ

(82) And they used to carve from the mountains, houses, feeling secure.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 83

فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ مُصۡبِحِينَ

(83) But the shriek seized them at early morning,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 84

فَمَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ

(84) So nothing availed them [from] what they used to earn.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 85

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَأٓتِيَةٞۖ فَٱصۡفَحِ ٱلصَّفۡحَ ٱلۡجَمِيلَ
