Text:Sura al-Furqan

From wikishia

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful. بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّ‌حْمَـٰنِ الرَّ‌حِيمِ
Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion to His servant that he may be a warner to all the nations. (1) تَبَارَ‌كَ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْفُرْ‌قَانَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ لِيَكُونَ لِلْعَالَمِينَ نَذِيرً‌ا ﴿١﴾
He, to whom belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and who did not take a son, nor has He any partner in sovereignty, and He created everything and determined it in a precise measure. (2) الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْ‌ضِ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ شَرِ‌يكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَقَدَّرَ‌هُ تَقْدِيرً‌ا ﴿٢﴾
Yet they have taken gods besides Him who create nothing and have themselves been created, and who have no control over their own harm or benefit and have no control over [their own] death, or life, or resurrection. (3) وَاتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ آلِهَةً لَّا يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْئًا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ ضَرًّ‌ا وَلَا نَفْعًا وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ مَوْتًا وَلَا حَيَاةً وَلَا نُشُورً‌ا ﴿٣﴾
The faithless say, 'This is nothing but a lie that he has fabricated, and other people have abetted him in it.' Thus they have certainly come out with wrongdoing and falsehood. (4) وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُ‌‌وا إِنْ هَـٰذَا إِلَّا إِفْكٌ افْتَرَ‌اهُ وَأَعَانَهُ عَلَيْهِ قَوْمٌ آخَرُ‌ونَ ۖ فَقَدْ جَاءُوا ظُلْمًا وَزُورً‌ا ﴿٤﴾
They say, 'He has taken down myths of the ancients, and they are dictated to him morning and evening.' (5) وَقَالُوا أَسَاطِيرُ‌ الْأَوَّلِينَ اكْتَتَبَهَا فَهِيَ تُمْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ بُكْرَ‌ةً وَأَصِيلًا ﴿٥﴾
Say, 'It has been sent down by Him who knows the hidden in the heavens and the earth. Indeed He is all-forgiving, all-merciful.' (6) قُلْ أَنزَلَهُ الَّذِي يَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ‌ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْ‌ضِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفُورً‌ا رَّ‌حِيمًا ﴿٦﴾
And they say, 'What sort of apostle is this who eats food and walks in the marketplaces? Why has not an angel been sent down to him so as to be a warner along with him?' (7) وَقَالُوا مَالِ هَـٰذَا الرَّ‌سُولِ يَأْكُلُ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشِي فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ ۙ لَوْلَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ فَيَكُونَ مَعَهُ نَذِيرً‌ا ﴿٧﴾
Or, '[Why is not] a treasure thrown to him, or [why does] he [not] have a garden from which he may eat?' And the wrongdoers say, 'You are just following a bewitched man.' (8) أَوْ يُلْقَىٰ إِلَيْهِ كَنزٌ أَوْ تَكُونُ لَهُ جَنَّةٌ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا ۚ وَقَالَ الظَّالِمُوننَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَ‌جُلًا مَّسْحُورً‌ا ﴿٨﴾
Look, how they draw comparisons for you; so they go astray, and cannot find the way. (9) انظُرْ‌ كَيْفَ ضَرَ‌بُوا لَكَ الْأَمْثَالَ فَضَلُّوا فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ سَبِيلًا ﴿٩﴾
Blessed is He who will grant you better than that if He wishes —gardens with streams running in them, and He will make for you palaces. (10) تَبَارَ‌كَ الَّذِي إِن شَاءَ جَعَلَ لَكَ خَيْرً‌ا مِّن ذَٰلِكَ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِ‌ي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ‌ وَيَجْعَل لَّكَ قُصُورً‌ا ﴿١٠﴾
Rather they deny the Hour, and We have prepared a Blaze for those who deny the Hour. (11) بَلْ كَذَّبُوا بِالسَّاعَةِ ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِمَن كَذَّبَ بِالسَّاعَةِ سَعِيرً‌ا ﴿١١﴾
When it sights them from a distant place, they will hear it raging and roaring. (12) إِذَا رَ‌أَتْهُم مِّن مَّكَانٍ بَعِيدٍ سَمِعُوا لَهَا تَغَيُّظًا وَزَفِيرً‌ا ﴿١٢﴾
And when they are cast into a narrow place in it, bound together [in chains], they will pray for [their own] annihilation. (13) وَإِذَا أُلْقُوا مِنْهَا مَكَانًا ضَيِّقًا مُّقَرَّ‌نِينَ دَعَوْا هُنَالِكَ ثُبُورً‌ا ﴿١٣﴾
[They will be told:] 'Do not pray for a single annihilation today, but pray for many annihilations!' (14) لَّا تَدْعُوا الْيَوْمَ ثُبُورً‌ا وَاحِدًا وَادْعُوا ثُبُورً‌ا كَثِيرً‌ا ﴿١٤﴾
Say, 'Is that better, or the everlasting paradise promised to the Godwary, which will be their reward and destination?' (15) قُلْ أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ‌ أَمْ جَنَّةُ الْخُلْدِ الَّتِي وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُونَ ۚ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَزَاءً وَمَصِيرً‌ا ﴿١٥﴾
There they will have whatever they wish, abiding [forever], a promise [much] besought, [binding] on your Lord. (16) لَّهُمْ فِيهَا مَا يَشَاءُونَ خَالِدِينَ ۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَ‌بِّكَ وَعْدًا مَّسْئُولًا ﴿١٦﴾
On the day that He will muster them and those whom they worship besides Allah, He will say, 'Was it you who led astray these servants of Mine, or did they themselves stray from the way?' (17) وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُ‌هُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّـهِ فَيَقُولُ أَأَنتُمْ أَضْلَلْتُمْ عِبَادِي هَـٰؤُلَاءِ أَمْ هُمْ ضَلُّوا السَّبِيلَ ﴿١٧﴾
They will say, 'Immaculate are You! It does not behoove us to take any guardians in Your stead! But You provided for them and their fathers until they forgot the Reminder, and they were a ruined lot.' (18) قَالُوا سُبْحَانَكَ مَا كَانَ يَنبَغِي لَنَا أَن نَّتَّخِذَ مِن دُونِكَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءَ وَلَـٰكِن مَّتَّعْتَهُمْ وَآبَاءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ نَسُوا الذِّكْرَ‌ وَكَانُوا قَوْمًا بُورً‌ا ﴿١٨﴾
So they will certainly impugn you in what you say, and you will neither be able to circumvent [punishment] nor find help, and whoever of you does wrong, We shall make him taste a terrible punishment. (19) فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوكُم بِمَا تَقُولُونَ فَمَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ صَرْ‌فًا وَلَا نَصْرً‌ا ۚ وَمَن يَظْلِم مِّنكُمْ نُذِقْهُ عَذَابًا كَبِيرً‌ا ﴿١٩﴾
We did not send any apostles before you but that they indeed ate food and walked in marketplaces. We have made you a trial for one another, [to see] if you will be patient, and your Lord is all-seeing. (20) وَمَا أَرْ‌سَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنَ الْمُرْ‌سَلِينَ إِلَّا إِنَّهُمْ لَيَأْكُلُونَ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشُونَ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ ۗ وَجَعَلْنَا بَعْضَكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ فِتْنَةً أَتَصْبِرُ‌ونَ ۗ وَكَانَ رَ‌بُّكَ بَصِيرً‌ا ﴿٢٠﴾
Those who do not expect to encounter Us say, 'Why have angels not been sent down to us, or why do we not see our Lord?' Certainly they are full of arrogance within their souls and have become terribly defiant. (21) وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَرْ‌جُونَ لِقَاءَنَا لَوْلَا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَوْ نَرَ‌ىٰ رَ‌بَّنَا ۗ لَقَدِ اسْتَكْبَرُ‌وا فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ وَعَتَوْا عُتُوًّا كَبِيرً‌ا ﴿٢١﴾
The day when they see the angels, there will be no good news for the guilty that day, and they will say, 'Keep off [from paradise]!' (22) يَوْمَ يَرَ‌وْنَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَا بُشْرَ‌ىٰ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُجْرِ‌مِينَ وَيَقُولُونَ حِجْرً‌ا مَّحْجُورً‌ا ﴿٢٢﴾
Then We shall attend to the works they have done and then turn them into scattered dust. (23) وَقَدِمْنَا إِلَىٰ مَا عَمِلُوا مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ هَبَاءً مَّنثُورً‌ا ﴿٢٣﴾
On that day the inhabitants of paradise will be in the best abode and an excellent resting place. (24) أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَيْرٌ‌ مُّسْتَقَرًّ‌ا وَأَحْسَنُ مَقِيلًا ﴿٢٤﴾
The day when the sky with its clouds will split open, and the angels will be sent down [in a majestic] descent, (25) وَيَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ السَّمَاءُ بِالْغَمَامِ وَنُزِّلَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تَنزِيلًا ﴿٢٥﴾
on that day true sovereignty will belong to the All-beneficent, and it will be a hard day for the faithless. (26) الْمُلْكُ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْحَقُّ لِلرَّ‌حْمَـٰنِ ۚ وَكَانَ يَوْمًا عَلَى الْكَافِرِ‌ينَ عَسِيرً‌ا ﴿٢٦﴾
A day when the wrongdoer will bite his hands, saying, 'I wish I had followed the Apostle's way! (27) وَيَوْمَ يَعَضُّ الظَّالِمُ عَلَىٰ يَدَيْهِ يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي اتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ الرَّ‌‌سُولِ سَبِيلًا ﴿٢٧﴾
Woe to me! I wish I had not taken so and so as a friend! (28) يَا وَيْلَتَىٰ لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِيلًا ﴿٢٨﴾
Certainly he led me astray from the Reminder after it had come to me, and Satan is a deserter of man.' (29) لَّقَدْ أَضَلَّنِي عَنِ الذِّكْرِ‌ بَعْدَ إِذْ جَاءَنِي ۗ وَكَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ لِلْإِنسَانِ خَذُولًا ﴿٢٩﴾
And the Apostle will say, 'O my Lord! Indeed my people consigned this Qurʾān to oblivion.' (30) وَقَالَ الرَّ‌سُولُ يَا رَ‌بِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِي اتَّخَذُوا هَـٰذَا الْقُرْ‌آنَ مَهْجُورً‌ا ﴿٣٠﴾
That is how for every prophet We assigned an enemy from among the guilty, and your Lord suffices as helper and guide. (31) وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ عَدُوًّا مِّنَ الْمُجْرِ‌مِينَ ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَ‌بِّكَ هَادِيًا وَنَصِيرً‌ا ﴿٣١﴾
The faithless say, 'Why has not the Qurʾān been sent down to him all at once?' So it is, that We may strengthen your heart with it, and We have recited it [to you] in a measured tone. (32) وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُ‌وا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْ‌آنُ جُمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهِ فُؤَادَكَ ۖ وَرَ‌تَّلْنَاهُ تَرْ‌تِيلًا ﴿٣٢﴾
They do not bring you any poser but that We bring you the truth [in reply to them] and the best exposition. (33) وَلَا يَأْتُونَكَ بِمَثَلٍ إِلَّا جِئْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَحْسَنَ تَفْسِيرً‌ا ﴿٣٣﴾
Those who will be mustered on their faces toward hell, they are the worse situated and further astray from the [right] way. (34) الَّذِينَ يُحْشَرُ‌ونَ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ أُولَـٰئِكَ شَرٌّ‌ مَّكَانًا وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا ﴿٣٤﴾
Certainly We gave Moses the Book and We made Aaron, his brother, accompany him as a minister. (35) وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ وَجَعَلْنَا مَعَهُ أَخَاهُ هَارُ‌ونَ وَزِيرً‌ا ﴿٣٥﴾
Then We said, 'Let the two of you go to the people who have denied Our signs.' Then We destroyed them utterly. (36) فَقُلْنَا اذْهَبَا إِلَى الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا فَدَمَّرْ‌نَاهُمْ تَدْمِيرً‌ا ﴿٣٦﴾
And Noah's people, We drowned them when they impugned the apostles, and We made them a sign for mankind, and We have prepared for the wrongdoers a painful punishment. (37) وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ لَّمَّا كَذَّبُوا الرُّ‌سُلَ أَغْرَ‌قْنَاهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ لِلنَّاسِ آيَةً ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا ﴿٣٧﴾
And ʿĀd and Thamūd, and the inhabitants of Rass, and many generations between them. (38) وَعَادًا وَثَمُودَ وَأَصْحَابَ الرَّ‌سِّ وَقُرُ‌ونًا بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ كَثِيرً‌ا ﴿٣٨﴾
For each of them We drew examples, and each We destroyed utterly. (39) وَكُلًّا ضَرَ‌بْنَا لَهُ الْأَمْثَالَ ۖ وَكُلًّا تَبَّرْ‌نَا تَتْبِيرً‌ا ﴿٣٩﴾
Certainly they must have passed the town on which an evil shower was rained. Have they not seen it? Rather they did not expect resurrection. (40) وَلَقَدْ أَتَوْا عَلَى الْقَرْ‌يَةِ الَّتِي أُمْطِرَ‌تْ مَطَرَ‌ السَّوْءِ ۚ أَفَلَمْ يَكُونُوا يَرَ‌وْنَهَا ۚ بَلْ كَانُوا لَا يَرْ‌جُونَ نُشُورً‌ا ﴿٤٠﴾
When they see you they just take you in derision: 'Is this the one whom Allah has sent as an apostle!? (41) وَإِذَا رَ‌أَوْكَ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَـٰذَا الَّذِي بَعَثَ اللَّـهُ رَ‌سُولًا ﴿٤١﴾
Indeed he was about to lead us astray from our gods, had we not stood by them.' Soon they will know, when they sight the punishment, who is further astray from the [right] way. (42) إِن كَادَ لَيُضِلُّنَا عَنْ آلِهَتِنَا لَوْلَا أَن صَبَرْ‌‌نَا عَلَيْهَا ۚ وَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ حِينَ يَرَ‌وْنَ الْعَذَابَ مَنْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا ﴿٤٢﴾
Have you seen him who has taken his desire to be his god? Is it your duty to watch over him? (43) أَرَ‌أَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَـٰهَهُ هَوَاهُ أَفَأَنتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ وَكِيلًا ﴿٤٣﴾
Do you suppose that most of them listen or apply reason? They are just like cattle; rather they are further astray from the way. (44) أَمْ تَحْسَبُ أَنَّ أَكْثَرَ‌هُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ أَوْ يَعْقِلُونَ ۚ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَالْأَنْعَامِ ۖ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا ﴿٤٤﴾
Have you not regarded how your Lord spreads the twilight? (Had He wished He would have made it still.) Then We made the sun a beacon for it. (45) أَلَمْ تَرَ‌ إِلَىٰ رَ‌بِّكَ كَيْفَ مَدَّ الظِّلَّ وَلَوْ شَاءَ لَجَعَلَهُ سَاكِنًا ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا الشَّمْسَ عَلَيْهِ دَلِيلًا ﴿٤٥﴾
Then We retract it toward Ourselves, with a gentle retracting. (46) ثُمَّ قَبَضْنَاهُ إِلَيْنَا قَبْضًا يَسِيرً‌ا ﴿٤٦﴾
It is He who made for you the night as a covering and sleep for rest and He made the day a recall to life. (47) وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا وَالنَّوْمَ سُبَاتًا وَجَعَلَ النَّهَارَ‌ نُشُورً‌ا ﴿٤٧﴾
And it is He who sends the winds as harbingers of His mercy, and We send down from the sky purifying water, (48) وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَرْ‌سَلَ الرِّ‌يَاحَ بُشْرً‌ا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَ‌حْمَتِهِ ۚ وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً طَهُورً‌ا ﴿٤٨﴾
with which We revive a dead country and provide water to many of the cattle and humans We have created. (49) لِّنُحْيِيَ بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا وَنُسْقِيَهُ مِمَّا خَلَقْنَا أَنْعَامًا وَأَنَاسِيَّ كَثِييرً‌ا ﴿٤٩﴾
Certainly We distribute it among them so that they may take admonition. But most people are only intent on ingratitude. (50) وَلَقَدْ صَرَّ‌فْنَاهُ بَيْنَهُمْ لِيَذَّكَّرُ‌وا فَأَبَىٰ أَكْثَرُ‌ النَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورً‌ا ﴿٥٠﴾
Had We wished, We would have sent a warner to every town. (51) وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَبَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ قَرْ‌يَةٍ نَّذِيرً‌ا ﴿٥١﴾
So do not obey the faithless, but wage against them a great jihād with it. (52) فَلَا تُطِعِ الْكَافِرِ‌ينَ وَجَاهِدْهُم بِهِ جِهَادًا كَبِيرً‌ا ﴿٥٢﴾
It is He who merged the two seas: this one sweet and agreeable, and that one briny and bitter, and between the two He set a barrier and a forbidding hindrance. (53) وَهُوَ الَّذِي مَرَ‌جَ الْبَحْرَ‌يْنِ هَـٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَ‌اتٌ وَهَـٰذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْ‌زَخًا وَحِجْرً‌ا مَّحْجُورً‌ا ﴿٥٣﴾
It is He who created the human being from water, then invested him with ties of blood and marriage, and your Lord is all-powerful. (54) وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ بَشَرً‌ا فَجَعَلَهُ نَسَبًا وَصِهْرً‌ا ۗ وَكَانَ رَ‌بُّكَ قَدِيرً‌ا ﴿٥٤﴾
They worship besides Allah that which neither brings them any benefit nor causes them any harm, and the faithless one is ever an abettor against his Lord. (55) وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّـهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُهُمْ وَلَا يَضُرُّ‌هُمْ ۗ وَكَانَ الْكَافِرُ‌ عَلَىٰ رَ‌بِّهِ ظَهِيرً‌ا ﴿٥٥﴾
We did not send you except as a bearer of good news and as a warner. (56) وَمَا أَرْ‌سَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرً‌ا وَنَذِيرً‌ا ﴿٥٦﴾
Say, 'I do not ask you any reward for it, except that anyone who wishes should take the way to his Lord.' (57) قُلْ مَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ‌ إِلَّا مَن شَاءَ أَن يَتَّخِذَ إِلَىٰ رَ‌بِّهِ سَبِيلًا ﴿٥٧﴾
Put your trust in the Living One who does not die, and celebrate His praise. He suffices as one all-aware of the sins of His servants. (58) وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِهِ ۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِهِ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِ خَبِيرً‌ا ﴿٥٨﴾
He, who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days, and then settled on the Throne, the All-beneficent; so ask someone who is well aware about Him. (59) الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْ‌ضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْ‌شِ ۚ الرَّ‌حْمَـٰنُ فَاسْأَلْ بِهِ خَبِيرً‌ا ﴿٥٩﴾
When they are told: 'Prostrate yourselves before the All-beneficent,' they say, 'What is “the All-beneficent”? Shall we prostrate ourselves before whatever you bid us?' And it increases their aversion. (60) وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ اسْجُدُوا لِلرَّ‌حْمَـٰنِ قَالُوا وَمَا الرَّ‌حْمَـٰنُ أَنَسْجُدُ لِمَا تَأْمُرُ‌نَا وَزَادَهُمْ نُفُورً‌ا ۩ ﴿٦٠﴾
Blessed is He who appointed houses in the sky and set in it a lamp and a shining moon. (61) تَبَارَ‌كَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي السَّمَاءِ بُرُ‌وجًا وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا سِرَ‌اجًا وَقَمَرً‌ا مُّنِيرً‌ا ﴿٦١﴾
It is He who made the night and the day alternate for one who desires to take admonition, or desires to give thanks. (62) وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ‌ خِلْفَةً لِّمَنْ أَرَ‌ادَ أَن يَذَّكَّرَ‌ أَوْ أَرَ‌ادَ شُكُورً‌ا ﴿٦٢﴾
The servants of the All-beneficent are those who walk humbly on the earth, and when the ignorant address them, say, 'Peace!' (63) وَعِبَادُ الرَّ‌حْمَـٰنِ الَّذِينَ يَمْشُونَ عَلَى الْأَرْ‌‌ضِ هَوْنًا وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ الْجَاهِلُونَ قَالُوا سَلَامًا ﴿٦٣﴾
Those who spend the night for their Lord, prostrating and standing [in worship]. (64) وَالَّذِينَ يَبِيتُونَ لِرَ‌بِّهِمْ سُجَّدًا وَقِيَامًا ﴿٦٤﴾
Those who say, 'Our Lord! Turn away from us the punishment of hell. Indeed its punishment is enduring. (65) وَالَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَ‌بَّنَا اصْرِ‌فْ عَنَّا عَذَابَ جَهَنَّمَ ۖ إِنَّ عَذَابَهَا كَانَ غَرَ‌امًا ﴿٦٥﴾
Indeed it is an evil abode and place.' (66) إِنَّهَا سَاءَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّ‌ا وَمُقَامًا ﴿٦٦﴾
Those who, when spending, are neither wasteful nor tightfisted, and moderation lies between these [extremes]. (67) وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا أَنفَقُوا لَمْ يُسْرِ‌فُوا وَلَمْ يَقْتُرُ‌وا وَكَانَ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ قَوَامًا ﴿٦٧﴾
Those who do not invoke another god besides Allah, and do not kill a soul [whose life] Allah has made inviolable, except with due cause, and do not commit fornication. (Whoever does that shall encounter its retribution, (68) وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّـهِ إِلَـٰهًا آخَرَ‌ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّ‌مَ اللَّـهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ ۚ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ يَلْقَ أَثَامًا ﴿٦٨﴾
the punishment being doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection. In it he will abide in humiliation forever, (69) يُضَاعَفْ لَهُ الْعَذَابُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيَخْلُدْ فِيهِ مُهَانًا ﴿٦٩﴾
excepting those who repent, attain faith, and act righteously. For such, Allah will replace their misdeeds with good deeds, and Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful. (70) إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا فَأُولَـٰئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّـهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّـهُ غَفُورً‌‌‌ا رَّ‌حِيمًا ﴿٧٠﴾
And whoever repents and acts righteously indeed turns to Allah with due penitence). (71) وَمَن تَابَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَإِنَّهُ يَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّـهِ مَتَابًا ﴿٧١﴾
Those who do not give false testimony, and when they come upon vain talk, pass by nobly. (72) وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَشْهَدُونَ الزُّورَ‌‌ وَإِذَا مَرُّ‌وا بِاللَّغْوِ مَرُّ‌وا كِرَ‌امًا ﴿٧٢﴾
Those who, when reminded of the signs of their Lord, do not turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to them. (73) وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِّرُ‌وا بِآيَاتِ رَ‌بِّهِمْ لَمْ يَخِرُّ‌وا عَلَيْهَا صُمًّا وَعُمْيَانًا ﴿٧٣﴾
And those who say, 'Our Lord! Grant us comfort in our spouses and descendants, and make us imams of the Godwary.' (74) وَالَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَ‌بَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّ‌يَّاتِنَا قُرَّ‌ةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا ﴿٧٤﴾
Those shall be rewarded with sublime abodes for their patience, and they shall be met there with greetings and 'Peace,' (75) أُولَـٰئِكَ يُجْزَوْنَ الْغُرْ‌فَةَ بِمَا صَبَرُ‌وا وَيُلَقَّوْنَ فِيهَا تَحِيَّةً وَسَلَامًا ﴿٧٥﴾
to abide in them [forever], an excellent abode and place. (76) خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ حَسُنَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّ‌ا وَمُقَامًا ﴿٧٦﴾
Say, 'What store my Lord would set by you were it not for your supplication? But you impugned [me and my advice], so that will continue to haunt you.' (77)[1] قُلْ مَا يَعْبَأُ بِكُمْ رَ‌بِّي لَوْلَا دُعَاؤُكُمْ ۖ فَقَدْ كَذَّبْتُمْ فَسَوْفَ يَكُونُ لِزَامًا ﴿٧٧﴾
