Text:Sura al-Naml

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.	بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّ‌حْمَـٰنِ الرَّ‌حِيمِ
Ṭā, Sīn. These are the signs of the Qurʾān and a manifest Book, (1)	طس ۚ تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْقُرْ‌آنِ وَكِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿١﴾
a guidance and good news for the faithful (2)	هُدًى وَبُشْرَ‌ىٰ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٢﴾
—those who maintain the prayer and pay the zakāt, and who are certain of the Hereafter. (3)	الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُم بِالْآخِرَ‌ةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ ﴿٣﴾
As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds seem decorous to them, and so they are bewildered. (4)	إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَ‌ةِ زَيَّنَّا لَهُمْ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَهُمْ يَعْمَهُونَ ﴿٤﴾
They are the ones for whom there is a terrible punishment, and they are the ones who will be the biggest losers in the Hereafter.(5)	أُولَـٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَهُمْ سُوءُ الْعَذَابِ وَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَ‌ةِ هُمُ الْأَخْسَرُ‌ونَ ﴿٥﴾
Indeed you receive the Qurʾān from One who is all-wise, all-knowing.(6)	وَإِنَّكَ لَتُلَقَّى الْقُرْ‌آنَ مِن لَّدُنْ حَكِيمٍ عَلِيمٍ ﴿٦﴾
When Moses said to his family, ‘Indeed I descry a fire! I will bring you some news from it, or bring you a firebrand so that you may warm yourselves.’ (7)	إِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِأَهْلِهِ إِنِّي آنَسْتُ نَارً‌ا سَآتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ‌ أَوْ آتِيكُم بِشِهَابٍ قَبَسٍ لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُونَ ﴿٧﴾
So when he came to it, he was called: ‘Blessed is He who is in the fire and who is [as well] around it, and immaculate is Allah, the Lord of all the worlds!’ (8)	فَلَمَّا جَاءَهَا نُودِيَ أَن بُورِ‌كَ مَن فِي النَّارِ‌ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّـهِ رَ‌بِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿٨﴾
‘O Moses! Indeed I am Allah, the All-mighty, the All-wise.’ (9)	يَا مُوسَىٰ إِنَّهُ أَنَا اللَّـهُ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ ﴿٩﴾
‘Throw down your staff!’ And when he saw it wriggling, as if it were a snake, he turned his back [to flee], without looking back. ‘O Moses! ‘Do not be afraid. Indeed the apostles are not afraid before Me, (10)	وَأَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۚ فَلَمَّا رَ‌آهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَأَنَّهَا جَانٌّ وَلَّىٰ مُدْبِرً‌ا وَلَمْ يُعَقِّبْ ۚ يَا مُوسَىٰ لَا تَخَفْ إِنِّي لَا يَخَافُ لَدَيَّ الْمُرْ‌سَلُونَ ﴿١٠﴾
barring someone who does wrong and then makes up with goodness for [his] fault, for indeed I am all-forgiving, all-merciful.’ (11)	إِلَّا مَن ظَلَمَ ثُمَّ بَدَّلَ حُسْنًا بَعْدَ سُوءٍ فَإِنِّي غَفُورٌ‌ رَّ‌حِيمٌ ﴿١١﴾
‘Insert your hand into your bosom. It will emerge white, without any fault, —among nine signs for Pharaoh and his people. Indeed they are a transgressing lot.’ (12)	وَأَدْخِلْ يَدَكَ فِي جَيْبِكَ تَخْرُ‌جْ بَيْضَاءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ‌ سُوءٍ ۖ فِي تِسْعِ آيَاتٍ إِلَىٰ فِرْ‌عَوْنَ وَقَوْمِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمًا فَاسِقِينَ ﴿١٢﴾
But when Our signs came to them, as eye-openers, they said, ‘This is plain magic.’ (13)	فَلَمَّا جَاءَتْهُمْ آيَاتُنَا مُبْصِرَ‌ةً قَالُوا هَـٰذَا سِحْرٌ‌ مُّبِينٌ ﴿١٣﴾
They impugned them —though they were convinced in their hearts— wrongfully and defiantly. So observe how was the fate of the agents of corruption!(14)	وَجَحَدُوا بِهَا وَاسْتَيْقَنَتْهَا أَنفُسُهُمْ ظُلْمًا وَعُلُوًّا ۚ فَانظُرْ‌ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِينَ ﴿١٤﴾
Certainly We gave David and Solomon knowledge, and they said, ‘All praise belongs to Allah, who granted us an advantage over many of His faithful servants.’ (15)	وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا دَاوُودَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ عِلْمًا ۖ وَقَالَا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّـهِ الَّذِي فَضَّلَنَا عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٍ‌ مِّنْ عِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١٥﴾
Solomon inherited from David, and he said, ‘O people! We have been taught the speech of the birds, and we have been given out of everything. Indeed this is a manifest advantage.’ (16)	وَوَرِ‌ثَ سُلَيْمَانُ دَاوُودَ ۖ وَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عُلِّمْنَا مَنطِقَ الطَّيْرِ‌ وَأُوتِينَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ ۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْمُبِينُ ﴿١٦﴾
[Once] Solomon’s hosts were marched out for him, comprising jinn, humans, and birds, and they were held in check. (17)	وَحُشِرَ‌ لِسُلَيْمَانَ جُنُودُهُ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ وَالطَّيْرِ‌ فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ ﴿١٧﴾
When they came to the Valley of Ants, an ant said, ‘O ants! Enter your dwellings, lest Solomon and his hosts should trample on you while they are unaware.’ (18)	حَتَّىٰ إِذَا أَتَوْا عَلَىٰ وَادِ النَّمْلِ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّمْلُ ادْخُلُوا مَسَاكِنَكُمْ لَا يَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ سُلَيْمَانُ وَجُنُودُهُ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُ‌ونَ ﴿١٨﴾
Whereat he smiled, amused at its words, and he said, ‘My Lord! Inspire me to give thanks for Your blessing with which You have blessed me and my parents, and that I may do righteous deeds which may please You, and admit me, by Your mercy, among Your righteous servants.’ (19)	فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكًا مِّن قَوْلِهَا وَقَالَ رَ‌بِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ‌ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْ‌ضَاهُ وَأَدْخِلْنِي بِرَ‌حْمَتِكَ فِي عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ ﴿١٩﴾
[One day] he reviewed the birds, and said, ‘Why do I not see the hoopoe? Or is he absent?’ (20)	وَتَفَقَّدَ الطَّيْرَ‌ فَقَالَ مَا لِيَ لَا أَرَ‌ى الْهُدْهُدَ أَمْ كَانَ مِنَ الْغَائِبِينَ ﴿٢٠﴾
‘I will surely punish him with a severe punishment, or I will surely behead him, unless he brings a clear-cut excuse.’ (21)	لَأُعَذِّبَنَّهُ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا أَوْ لَأَذْبَحَنَّهُ أَوْ لَيَأْتِيَنِّي بِسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿٢١﴾
He did not stay for long [before he turned up] and said, ‘I have alighted on something which you have not alighted on, and I have brought you from Sheba a definite report. (22)	فَمَكَثَ غَيْرَ‌ بَعِيدٍ فَقَالَ أَحَطتُ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِ وَجِئْتُكَ مِن سَبَإٍ بِنَبَإٍ يَقِينٍ ﴿٢٢﴾
I found a woman ruling over them, and she has been given everything, and she has a great throne. (23)	إِنِّي وَجَدتُّ امْرَ‌أَةً تَمْلِكُهُمْ وَأُوتِيَتْ مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَلَهَا عَرْ‌شٌ عَظِيمٌ ﴿٢٣﴾
I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allah, and Satan has made their deeds seem decorous to them —thus he has barred them from the way [of Allah], so they are not guided— (24)	وَجَدتُّهَا وَقَوْمَهَا يَسْجُدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ مِن دُونِ اللَّـهِ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ فَهُمْ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ ﴿٢٤﴾
so that they do not prostrate themselves to Allah, who brings out the hidden in the heavens and the earth, and He knows whatever you hide and whatever you disclose. (25)	أَلَّا يَسْجُدُوا لِلَّـهِ الَّذِي يُخْرِ‌جُ الْخَبْءَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْ‌ضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفُونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ ﴿٢٥﴾
Allah—there is no god except Him— is the Lord of the Great Throne.’ (26)	اللَّـهُ لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَ‌بُّ الْعَرْ‌شِ الْعَظِيمِ ۩ ﴿٢٦﴾
He said, ‘We shall see whether you are truthful, or if you are one of the liars.’ (27)	قَالَ سَنَنظُرُ‌ أَصَدَقْتَ أَمْ كُنتَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ ﴿٢٧﴾
Take this letter of mine and deliver it to them. Then draw away from them and observe what [response] they return.’ (28)	اذْهَب بِّكِتَابِي هَـٰذَا فَأَلْقِهْ إِلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَانظُرْ‌ مَاذَا يَرْ‌جِعُونَ ﴿٢٨﴾
She said, ‘O [members of the] elite! Indeed a noble letter has been delivered to me. (29)	قَالَتْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمَلَأُ إِنِّي أُلْقِيَ إِلَيَّ كِتَابٌ كَرِ‌يمٌ ﴿٢٩﴾
It is from Solomon, and it begins in the name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful. (30)	إِنَّهُ مِن سُلَيْمَانَ وَإِنَّهُ بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّ‌حْمَـٰنِ الرَّ‌حِيمِ ﴿٣٠﴾
[It states,] “Do not defy me, and come to me in submission.” ’ (31)	أَلَّا تَعْلُوا عَلَيَّ وَأْتُونِي مُسْلِمِينَ ﴿٣١﴾
She said, ‘O [members of the] elite! Give me your opinion concerning my matter. I do not decide any matter until you are present.’ (32)	قَالَتْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمَلَأُ أَفْتُونِي فِي أَمْرِ‌ي مَا كُنتُ قَاطِعَةً أَمْرً‌ا حَتَّىٰ تَشْهَدُونِ ﴿٣٢﴾
They said, ‘We are powerful and possess a great might. But it is up to you to command. So see what you will command.’ (33)	قَالُوا نَحْنُ أُولُو قُوَّةٍ وَأُولُو بَأْسٍ شَدِيدٍ وَالْأَمْرُ‌ إِلَيْكِ فَانظُرِ‌ي مَاذَا تَأْمُرِ‌ينَ ﴿٣٣﴾
She said, ‘Indeed when kings enter a town, they devastate it, and reduce the mightiest of its people to the most abased. That is how they act. (34)	قَالَتْ إِنَّ الْمُلُوكَ إِذَا دَخَلُوا قَرْ‌يَةً أَفْسَدُوهَا وَجَعَلُوا أَعِزَّةَ أَهْلِهَا أَذِلَّةً ۖ وَكَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ ﴿٣٤﴾
I will send them a gift, and I shall see what the envoys bring back.’ (35)	وَإِنِّي مُرْ‌سِلَةٌ إِلَيْهِم بِهَدِيَّةٍ فَنَاظِرَ‌ةٌ بِمَ يَرْ‌جِعُ الْمُرْ‌سَلُونَ ﴿٣٥﴾
So when he came to Solomon, he said, ‘Are you aiding me with wealth? What Allah has given me is better than what He has given you. Rather you are exultant over your gift! (36)	فَلَمَّا جَاءَ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ أَتُمِدُّونَنِ بِمَالٍ فَمَا آتَانِيَ اللَّـهُ خَيْرٌ‌ مِّمَّا آتَاكُم بَلْ أَنتُم بِهَدِيَّتِكُمْ تَفْرَ‌حُونَ ﴿٣٦﴾
Go back to them, for we will come at them with hosts which they cannot face, and we will expel them from it, abased, and they shall be degraded.’ (37)	ارْ‌جِعْ إِلَيْهِمْ فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّهُم بِجُنُودٍ لَّا قِبَلَ لَهُم بِهَا وَلَنُخْرِ‌جَنَّهُم مِّنْهَا أَذِلَّةً وَهُمْ صَاغِرُ‌ونَ ﴿٣٧﴾
He said, ‘O [members of the] elite! Which of you will bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?’ (38)	قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمَلَأُ أَيُّكُمْ يَأْتِينِي بِعَرْ‌شِهَا قَبْلَ أَن يَأْتُونِي مُسْلِمِينَ ﴿٣٨﴾
An afreet from among the jinn said, ‘I will bring it to you before you rise from your place. Indeed I have the power for it and am trustworthy.’ (39)	قَالَ عِفْرِ‌يتٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ أَنَا آتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَن تَقُومَ مِن مَّقَامِكَ ۖ وَإِنِّي عَلَيْهِ لَقَوِيٌّ أَمِينٌ ﴿٣٩﴾
The one who had knowledge of the Book said, ‘I will bring it to you in the twinkling of an eye.’ So when he saw it set near him, he said, ‘This is by the grace of my Lord, to test me if I will give thanks or be ungrateful. And whoever gives thanks, gives thanks only for his own sake. And whoever is ungrateful [should know that] my Lord is indeed all-sufficient, all-generous.’ (40)	قَالَ الَّذِي عِندَهُ عِلْمٌ مِّنَ الْكِتَابِ أَنَا آتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَن يَرْ‌تَدَّ إِلَيْكَ طَرْ‌فُكَ ۚ فَلَمَّا رَ‌آهُ مُسْتَقِرًّ‌ا عِندَهُ قَالَ هَـٰذَا مِن فَضْلِ رَ‌بِّي لِيَبْلُوَنِي أَأَشْكُرُ‌ أَمْ أَكْفُرُ‌ ۖ وَمَن شَكَرَ‌ فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ‌ لِنَفْسِهِ ۖ وَمَن كَفَرَ‌ فَإِنَّ رَ‌بِّي غَنِيٌّ كَرِ‌يمٌ ﴿٤٠﴾
He said, ‘Disguise her throne for her, so that we may see whether she is discerning or if she is one of the undiscerning ones.’ (41)	قَالَ نَكِّرُ‌وا لَهَا عَرْ‌شَهَا نَنظُرْ‌ أَتَهْتَدِي أَمْ تَكُونُ مِنَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ ﴿٤١﴾
So when she came, it was said [to her], ‘Is your throne like this one?’ She said, ‘It seems to be the same, and we were informed before it, and we had submitted.’ (42)	فَلَمَّا جَاءَتْ قِيلَ أَهَـٰكَذَا عَرْ‌شُكِ ۖ قَالَتْ كَأَنَّهُ هُوَ ۚ وَأُوتِينَا الْعِلْمَ مِن قَبْلِهَا وَكُنَّا مُسْلِمِينَ ﴿٤٢﴾
She had been barred [from the way of Allah] by what she used to worship besides Allah, for she belonged to a faithless people. (43)	وَصَدَّهَا مَا كَانَت تَّعْبُدُ مِن دُونِ اللَّـهِ ۖ إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ مِن قَوْمٍ كَافِرِ‌ينَ ﴿٤٣﴾
It was said to her, ‘Enter the palace.’ So when she saw it, she supposed it to be a pool of water, and she bared her shanks. He said, ‘It is a palace paved with crystal.’ She said, ‘My Lord! Indeed I have wronged myself, and I submit with Solomon to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.’ (44)	قِيلَ لَهَا ادْخُلِي الصَّرْ‌حَ ۖ فَلَمَّا رَ‌أَتْهُ حَسِبَتْهُ لُجَّةً وَكَشَفَتْ عَن سَاقَيْهَا ۚ قَالَ إِنَّهُ صَرْ‌حٌ مُّمَرَّ‌دٌ مِّن قَوَارِ‌يرَ‌ ۗ قَالَتْ رَ‌بِّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي وَأَسْلَمْتُ مَعَ سُلَيْمَانَ لِلَّـهِ رَ‌بِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿٤٤﴾
Certainly We sent to Thamūd Ṣāliḥ, their brother, [with the summons:] ‘Worship Allah!’ But thereat they became two groups contending with each other. (45)	وَلَقَدْ أَرْ‌سَلْنَا إِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَالِحًا أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّـهَ فَإِذَا هُمْ فَرِ‌يقَانِ يَخْتَصِمُونَ ﴿٤٥﴾
He said, ‘O My people! Why do you press for evil sooner than for good? Why do you not plead to Allah for forgiveness so that you may receive His mercy?’ (46)	قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لِمَ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ الْحَسَنَةِ ۖ لَوْلَا تَسْتَغْفِرُ‌ونَ اللَّـهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْ‌حَمُونَ ﴿٤٦﴾
They said, ‘We take for a bad omen you and those who are with you.’ He said, ‘Your bad omens are with Allah. Rather you are a people being tested.’ (47)	قَالُوا اطَّيَّرْ‌نَا بِكَ وَبِمَن مَّعَكَ ۚ قَالَ طَائِرُ‌كُمْ عِندَ اللَّـهِ ۖ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ تُفْتَنُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾
There were nine persons in the city who caused corruption in the land, and did not bring about any reform. (48)	وَكَانَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ تِسْعَةُ رَ‌هْطٍ يُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْ‌ضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ ﴿٤٨﴾
They said, ‘[Let us] swear together by Allah that we will attack him and his family by night. Then we will surely tell his heir that we were not present at the murder of his family and we indeed speak the truth.’ (49)	قَالُوا تَقَاسَمُوا بِاللَّـهِ لَنُبَيِّتَنَّهُ وَأَهْلَهُ ثُمَّ لَنَقُولَنَّ لِوَلِيِّهِ مَا شَهِدْنَا مَهْلِكَ أَهْلِهِ وَإِنَّا لَصَادِقُونَ ﴿٤٩﴾
They devised a plot, and We [too] devised a plan, but they were not aware. (50)	وَمَكَرُ‌وا مَكْرً‌ا وَمَكَرْ‌نَا مَكْرً‌ا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُ‌ونَ ﴿٥٠﴾
So observe how was the outcome of their plotting, as We destroyed them and all their people. (51)	فَانظُرْ‌ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ مَكْرِ‌هِمْ أَنَّا دَمَّرْ‌نَاهُمْ وَقَوْمَهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿٥١﴾
So there lay their houses, fallen in ruin, because of their wrongdoing. There is indeed a sign in that for a people who have knowledge. (52)	فَتِلْكَ بُيُوتُهُمْ خَاوِيَةً بِمَا ظَلَمُوا ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٥٢﴾
And We delivered those who had faith and were Godwary.(53)	وَأَنجَيْنَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَكَانُوا يَتَّقُونَ ﴿٥٣﴾
And Lot, when he said to his people, ‘What! Do you commit this indecency while you see [with your own eyes]? (54)	وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَتَأْتُونَ الْفَاحِشَةَ وَأَنتُمْ تُبْصِرُ‌ونَ ﴿٥٤﴾
Do you approach men with [sexual] desire instead of women?! Rather you are a senseless lot!’(55)	أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ الرِّ‌جَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّن دُونِ النِّسَاءِ ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ ﴿٥٥﴾
But the only answer of his people was that they said, ‘Expel Lot’s family from your town! They are indeed a puritanical lot.’ (56)	فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِ إِلَّا أَن قَالُوا أَخْرِ‌جُوا آلَ لُوطٍ مِّن قَرْ‌يَتِكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ أُنَاسٌ يَتَطَهَّرُ‌ونَ ﴿٥٦﴾
So We delivered him and his family, except his wife. We ordained her to be among those who remained behind. (57)	فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ إِلَّا امْرَ‌أَتَهُ قَدَّرْ‌نَاهَا مِنَ الْغَابِرِ‌ينَ ﴿٥٧﴾
Then We poured down upon them a rain [of stones]. So evil was the rain of those who were warned! (58)	وَأَمْطَرْ‌نَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرً‌ا ۖ فَسَاءَ مَطَرُ‌ الْمُنذَرِ‌ينَ ﴿٥٨﴾
Say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah, and Peace be to His servants whom He has chosen.’ Is Allah better, or the partners they ascribe [to Him]? (59)	قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّـهِ وَسَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ عِبَادِهِ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَىٰ ۗ آللَّـهُ خَيْرٌ‌ أَمَّا يُشْرِ‌كُونَ ﴿٥٩﴾
Is He who created the heavens and the earth, and sends down for you water from the sky, whereby We grow delightful gardens, whose trees you could never cause to grow… ? What! Is there a god besides Allah? Rather they are a lot who equate [others with Allah]. (60)	أَمَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْ‌ضَ وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَنبَتْنَا بِهِ حَدَائِقَ ذَاتَ بَهْجَةٍ مَّا كَانَ لَكُمْ أَن تُنبِتُوا شَجَرَ‌هَا ۗ أَإِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ اللَّـهِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ يَعْدِلُونَ ﴿٦٠﴾
Is He who made the earth an abode [for you], and made rivers [flowing] through it, and set firm mountains for it, and set a barrier between the two seas… ? What! Is there a god besides Allah? Rather most of them do not know. (61)	أَمَّن جَعَلَ الْأَرْ‌ضَ قَرَ‌ارً‌ا وَجَعَلَ خِلَالَهَا أَنْهَارً‌ا وَجَعَلَ لَهَا رَ‌وَاسِيَ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَ الْبَحْرَ‌يْنِ حَاجِزًا ۗ أَإِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ اللَّـهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُ‌هُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٦١﴾
Is He who answers the call of the distressed [person] when he invokes Him and removes his distress, and makes you the earth’s successors… ? What! Is there a god besides Allah? Little is the admonition that you take.(62)	أَمَّن يُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ‌ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ الْأَرْ‌ضِ ۗ أَإِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ اللَّـهِ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُ‌ونَ ﴿٦٢﴾
Is He who guides you in the darkness of land and sea and who sends the winds as harbingers of His mercy… ? What! Is there a god besides Allah? Exalted is Allah above [having] any partners they ascribe [to Him].(63)	أَمَّن يَهْدِيكُمْ فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْبَرِّ‌ وَالْبَحْرِ‌ وَمَن يُرْ‌سِلُ الرِّ‌يَاحَ بُشْرً‌ا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَ‌حْمَتِهِ ۗ أَإِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ اللَّـهِ ۚ تَعَالَى اللَّـهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِ‌كُونَ ﴿٦٣﴾
Is He who originates the creation, then He will bring it back, and who provides for you from the sky and the earth… ? What! Is there a god besides Allah? Say, ‘Produce your evidence, should you be truthful.’ (64)	أَمَّن يَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ وَمَن يَرْ‌زُقُكُم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْ‌ضِ ۗ أَإِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ اللَّـهِ ۚ قُلْ هَاتُوا بُرْ‌هَانَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ﴿٦٤﴾
Say, ‘No one in the heavens or the earth knows the Unseen except Allah, and they are not aware when they will be resurrected.’ (65)	قُل لَّا يَعْلَمُ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْ‌ضِ الْغَيْبَ إِلَّا اللَّـهُ ۚ وَمَا يَشْعُرُ‌ونَ أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ ﴿٦٥﴾
Do they comprehend the knowledge of the Hereafter? No, they are in doubt about it. Rather they are blind to it. (66)	بَلِ ادَّارَ‌كَ عِلْمُهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَ‌ةِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكٍّ مِّنْهَا ۖ بَلْ هُم مِّنْهَا عَمُونَ ﴿٦٦﴾
The faithless say, ‘What! When we and our fathers have become dust shall we indeed be raised [from the dead]? (67)	وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُ‌وا أَإِذَا كُنَّا تُرَ‌ابًا وَآبَاؤُنَا أَئِنَّا لَمُخْرَ‌جُونَ ﴿٦٧﴾
Certainly we and our fathers were promised this before. [But] these are just myths of the ancients.’ (68)	لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا هَـٰذَا نَحْنُ وَآبَاؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ إِنْ هَـٰذَا إِلَّا أَسَاطِيرُ‌ الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿٦٨﴾
Say, ‘Travel over the land and then observe how was the fate of the guilty.’ (69)	قُلْ سِيرُ‌وا فِي الْأَرْ‌ضِ فَانظُرُ‌وا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُجْرِ‌مِينَ ﴿٦٩﴾
Do not grieve for them, and do not be upset by their guile. (70)	وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُن فِي ضَيْقٍ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُ‌ونَ ﴿٧٠﴾
They say, ‘When will this promise be fulfilled, should you be truthful?’ (71)	وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا الْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ﴿٧١﴾
Say, ‘Perhaps right behind you there is some of what you seek to hasten.’ (72)	قُلْ عَسَىٰ أَن يَكُونَ رَ‌دِفَ لَكُم بَعْضُ الَّذِي تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ﴿٧٢﴾
Indeed your Lord is gracious to mankind, but most of them do not give thanks. (73)	وَإِنَّ رَ‌بَّكَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ‌هُمْ لَا يَشْكُرُ‌ونَ ﴿٧٣﴾
Your Lord indeed knows whatever their breasts conceal, and whatever they disclose. (74)	وَإِنَّ رَ‌بَّكَ لَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُكِنُّ صُدُورُ‌هُمْ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ ﴿٧٤﴾
There is no invisible thing in the heaven and the earth but it is in a manifest Book.(75)	وَمَا مِنْ غَائِبَةٍ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْ‌ضِ إِلَّا فِي كِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿٧٥﴾
Indeed this Qurʾān recounts to the Children of Israel most of what they differ about, (76)	إِنَّ هَـٰذَا الْقُرْ‌آنَ يَقُصُّ عَلَىٰ بَنِي إِسْرَ‌ائِيلَ أَكْثَرَ‌ الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ﴿٧٦﴾
and it is indeed a guidance and mercy for the faithful. (77)	وَإِنَّهُ لَهُدًى وَرَ‌حْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٧٧﴾
Indeed your Lord will decide between them by His judgement, and He is the All-mighty, the All-knowing. (78)	إِنَّ رَ‌بَّكَ يَقْضِي بَيْنَهُم بِحُكْمِهِ ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْعَلِيمُ ﴿٧٨﴾
So put your trust in Allah, for you indeed stand on the manifest truth. (79)	فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّـهِ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ الْمُبِينِ ﴿٧٩﴾
Indeed you cannot make the dead hear, nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs [upon you], (80)	إِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتَىٰ وَلَا تُسْمِعُ الصُّمَّ الدُّعَاءَ إِذَا وَلَّوْا مُدْبِرِ‌ينَ ﴿٨٠﴾
nor can you lead the blind out of their error. You can make only those hear who believe in Our signs and who have submitted.(81)	وَمَا أَنتَ بِهَادِي الْعُمْيِ عَن ضَلَالَتِهِمْ ۖ إِن تُسْمِعُ إِلَّا مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِآيَاتِنَا فَهُم مُّسْلِمُونَ ﴿٨١﴾
And when the word [of judgement] falls upon them, We shall bring out for them an Animal from the earth who shall speak to them that the people had no faith in Our signs. (82)	وَإِذَا وَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَخْرَ‌جْنَا لَهُمْ دَابَّةً مِّنَ الْأَرْ‌ضِ تُكَلِّمُهُمْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا لَا يُوقِنُونَ ﴿٨٢﴾
The day We shall resurrect from every nation a group of those who denied Our signs, and they shall be held in check. (83)	وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ‌ مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ فَوْجًا مِّمَّن يُكَذِّبُ بِآيَاتِنَا فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ ﴿٨٣﴾
When they come, He will say, ‘Did you deny My signs without comprehending them in knowledge? What was it that you used to do?’ (84)	حَتَّىٰ إِذَا جَاءُوا قَالَ أَكَذَّبْتُم بِآيَاتِي وَلَمْ تُحِيطُوا بِهَا عِلْمًا أَمَّاذَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٨٤﴾
And the word [of judgement] shall fall upon them for their wrongdoing, and they will not speak. (85)	وَوَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِم بِمَا ظَلَمُوا فَهُمْ لَا يَنطِقُونَ ﴿٨٥﴾
Do they not see that We made the night that they may rest in it, and the day to provide visibility. There are indeed signs in that for a people who have faith. (86)	أَلَمْ يَرَ‌وْا أَنَّا جَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ لِيَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ وَالنَّهَارَ‌ مُبْصِرً‌ا ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿٨٦﴾
The day when the trumpet will be blown, whoever is in the heavens will be terrified and whoever is on the earth, except whomever Allah may wish, and all will come to Him in utter humility.(87)	وَيَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ‌ فَفَزِعَ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَن فِي الْأَرْ‌ضِ إِلَّا مَن شَاءَ اللَّـهُ ۚ وَكُلٌّ أَتَوْهُ دَاخِرِ‌ينَ ﴿٨٧﴾
And you see the mountains, which you suppose to be stationary, while they drift like passing clouds —the handiwork of Allah who has made everything faultless. He is indeed well aware of what you do.(88)	وَتَرَ‌ى الْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةً وَهِيَ تَمُرُّ‌ مَرَّ‌ السَّحَابِ ۚ صُنْعَ اللَّـهِ الَّذِي أَتْقَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ ۚ إِنَّهُ خَبِيرٌ‌ بِمَا تَفْعَلُونَ ﴿٨٨﴾
Whoever brings virtue shall receive [a reward] better than it; and they shall be secure from terror on that day. (89)	مَن جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ خَيْرٌ‌ مِّنْهَا وَهُم مِّن فَزَعٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ آمِنُونَ ﴿٨٩﴾
And whoever brings vice —they shall be cast on their faces into the Fire [and told:] ‘Shall you be requited except with what you used to do?’ (90)	وَمَن جَاءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَكُبَّتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ فِي النَّارِ‌ هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٩٠﴾
‘Indeed I have been commanded to worship the Lord of this city who has made it inviolable and to whom all things belong, and I have been commanded to be among those who submit [to Allah], (91)	إِنَّمَا أُمِرْ‌تُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ رَ‌بَّ هَـٰذِهِ الْبَلْدَةِ الَّذِي حَرَّ‌مَهَا وَلَهُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ ۖ وَأُمِرْ‌تُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ﴿٩١﴾
and to recite the Qurʾān.’ So whoever is guided is guided only for his own sake, and as for him who goes astray, say, ‘I am just one of the warners.’ (92)	وَأَنْ أَتْلُوَ الْقُرْ‌آنَ ۖ فَمَنِ اهْتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِي لِنَفْسِهِ ۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَقُلْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُنذِرِ‌ينَ ﴿٩٢﴾
And say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah. Soon He will show you His signs, and you will recognize them.’ And your Lord is not oblivious of what you do. (93)	وَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّـهِ سَيُرِ‌يكُمْ آيَاتِهِ فَتَعْرِ‌فُونَهَا ۚ وَمَا رَ‌بُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٩٣﴾
