(2) And those who drive [the clouds]

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 4

إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمۡ لَوَٰحِدٞ

(4) Indeed, your God is One,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 5

وَحِفۡظٗا مِّن كُلِّ شَيۡطَٰنٖ مَّارِدٖ

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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]

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 9

دُحُورٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ وَاصِبٌ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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].

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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 12

بَلۡ عَجِبۡتَ وَيَسۡخَرُونَ

(12) But you wonder, while they mock,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 13

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ لَا يَذۡكُرُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 14

وَإِذَا رَأَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يَسۡتَسۡخِرُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 15

وَقَالُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٌ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 16

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 17

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 20

وَقَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 21

هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 23

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهۡدُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 24

وَقِفُوهُمۡۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسۡـُٔولُونَ

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 25

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 29

قَالُواْ بَل لَّمۡ تَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 31

فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡنَا قَوۡلُ رَبِّنَآۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ

فَأَغۡوَيۡنَٰكُمۡ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 33

فَإِنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 34

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 36

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓاْ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٖ مَّجۡنُونِۭ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 39

وَمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 40

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

(40) But not the chosen servants of Allāh.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 41

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

(41) Those will have a provision determined -

فَوَٰكِهُ وَهُم مُّكۡرَمُونَ

وَعِندَهُمۡ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرۡفِ عِينٞ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 49

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيۡضٞ مَّكۡنُونٞ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 50

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 65

طَلۡعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 66

فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَأٓكِلُونَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 67

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبٗا مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 71

وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 73

فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 74

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

(74) But not the chosen servants of Allāh.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 75

وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٞ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِيبُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 76

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 77

وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 78

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 79

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٖ فِي ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 80

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 81

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 82

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 83

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 84

إِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٍ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 85

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 86

أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 87

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 88

فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ

(88) And he cast a look at the stars

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 89

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 90

فَتَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 92

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 93

فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 94

فَأَقۡبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 95

قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 96

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 98

فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 100

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 101

فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 104

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 105

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 106

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ

(106) Indeed, this was the clear trial.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 108

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 109

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

(109) "Peace upon Abraham."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 110

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 111

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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].

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 114

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 115

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 116

وَنَصَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 117

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 118

وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 119

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 120

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

(120) "Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 121

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 122

إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 123

وَإِنَّ إِلۡيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 124

إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 126

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 127

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 128

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

(128) Except the chosen servants of Allāh.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 129

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 131

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 132

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 133

وَإِنَّ لُوطٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 134

إِذۡ نَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 135

إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 136

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

(136) Then We destroyed the others.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 137

وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 138

وَبِٱلَّيۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 139

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 140

إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 143

فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 145

۞ فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 148

فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 150

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 151

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 152

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 153

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ

(153) Has He chosen daughters over sons?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 154

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 155

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

(155) Then will you not be reminded?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 156

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ

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

[1308]- i.e., evidence.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 157

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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].

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 159

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

(159) Exalted is Allāh above what they describe,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 160

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 161

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 162

مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 165

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 166

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 167

وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ

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

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 168

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 169

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 171

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 172

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 174

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 175

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 176

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

(176) Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 178

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

(178) And leave them for a time.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 179

وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 180

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 181

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

(181) And peace upon the messengers.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 182

وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

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