| Verse | Arabic Text | Transliteration | English Translation |
| 1 | الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ الْكِتَابَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَل لَّهُ عِوَجًا | Al-hamdu li-Allāhi al-ladhī anzala ‘alā ‘abdihi al-kitāb wa lam yaj’al lahu ‘iwaja. | [All] praise is [due] to Allah, who has sent down upon His Servant the Book and has not made therein any deviance. |
| 2 | قَيِّمًا لِّيُنذِرَ بَأْسًا شَدِيدًا مِن لَّدُنْهُ وَيُبَشِّرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الصَّالِحَاتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا حَسَنًا | Qayyiman li-yundhir ba’san shadīdan min ladunhu wa yubashshir al-mu’minīn al-ladhīn ya’malūn al-sālihāt anna lahum ajran hasana. | [It is] straight, to warn [people] of severe punishment from Him and to give good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a good reward. |
| 3 | مَاكِثِينَ فِيهِ أَبَدًا | Mākhithīn fīhi abada. | Wherein they will remain forever. |
| 4 | وَيُنذِرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ وَلَدًا | Wa yundhir al-ladhīn qālū ittakhádha al-Allāhu walada. | And to warn those who say, ‘Allah has taken a son.’ |
| 5 | مَا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ وَلَا لِآبَائِهِمْ ۚ كَبُرَتْ كَلِمَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ ۚ إِن يَقُولُونَ إِلَّا كَذِبًا | Mā lahum bihi min ‘ilm wa lā li-ābā’ihim kaburat kalimatan takhruji min afwāhihim in yaqūlūn illā kadhiba. | They have no knowledge of this, nor had their fathers. Grave is the word that comes out of their mouths; they speak not except a lie. |
| 6 | فَلَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِمْ إِن لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهَٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَسَفًا | Fa-la’allaka bākhī’ nafsak ‘alā āthārihim in lam yu’minū bi-hādhā al-hadīth asafa. | Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over their footsteps, [O Muhammad], if they do not believe in this message, [out] of sorrow? |
| 7 | إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ زِينَةً لَّهَا لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا | Innā ja’alnā mā ‘alā al-ard zīnatah lahā li-nabluwahum ayyuhum ahsan ‘amala. | Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test which of them are best in deed. |
| 8 | وَإِنَّا لَجَاعِلُونَ مَا عَلَيْهَا صَعِيدًا جُرُزًا | Wa innā la-jā’ilūn mā ‘alayhā sa’īd juruz. | And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] barren dust. |
| 9 | أَمْ حَسِبْتَ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ الْكَهْفِ وَالرَّقِيمِ كَانُوا مِنْ آيَاتِنَا عَجَبًا | Am hasibta anna ashāb al-kahf wa al-raqīm kānū min āyātinā ‘ajaba. | Or have you thought that the companions of the cave and the inscription were, among Our signs, a wonder? |
| 10 | إِذْ أَوَى الْفِتْيَةُ إِلَى الْكَهْفِ فَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا آتِنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا | Idh awā al-fityah ilā al-kahf fa-qālū rabbanā ātinā min ladunka raḥma wa hayyi’ lanā min amrinā rashada. | [Mention] when the youths retreated to the cave and said, ‘Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance.’ |
| 11 | فَضَرَبْنَا عَلَىٰ آذَانِهِمْ فِي الْكَهْفِ سِنِينَ عَدَدًا | Fa-darabnā ‘alā ādhānihim fi al-kahf sinīn ‘adada. | So We cast [a cover of] sleep over their ears within the cave for a number of years. |
| 12 | ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَاهُمْ لِنَعْلَمَ أَيُّ الْحِزْبَيْنِ أَحْصَىٰ لِمَا لَبِثُوا أَمَدًا | Thumma ba’athnāhum li-na’lam ayyā al-hizbayn ahsā li-mā labithū amada. | Then We awakened them that We might test which of the two groups was most accurate in computing the time that they had remained. |
| 13 | نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ نَبَأَهُم بِالْحَقِّ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ فِتْيَةٌ آمَنُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ وَزِدْنَاهُمْ هُدًى | Naḥnu naquss ‘alayka naba’ahum bi-al-haqq innahum fityah āmanū bi-rabbihim wa zidnāhum hudan. | We relate to you their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance. |
| 14 | وَرَبَطْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ إِذْ قَامُوا فَقَالُوا رَبُّنَا رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ لَن نَّدْعُوَ مِن دُونِهِ إِلَٰهًا ۖ لَقَدْ قُلْنَا إِذًا شَطَطًا | Wa rabatna ‘alā qulūbihim idh qāmū fa-qālū rabbunā rabb al-samāwāt wa-al-ard lan nad’ū min dūnihi ilāha laqad qulnā idhan shatatā. | And We strengthened their hearts when they stood up and said, ‘Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression.’ |
| 15 | هَٰؤُلَاءِ قَوْمُنَا اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ آلِهَةً ۖ لَّوْلَا يَأْتُونَ عَلَيْهِم بِسُلْطَانٍ بَيِّنٍ ۖ فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا | Hā’ulā’i qawmunā ittakhdhū min dūnihi āliha lawlā ya’tūn ‘alayhim bi-sultān bayyinā faman azlam mimman iftarā ‘alā Allāh kadhiba. | ‘These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear authority? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie?’ |
| 16 | وَإِذِ اعْتَزَلْتُمُوهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ فَأْوُوا إِلَى الْكَهْفِ يَنشُرْ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِهِ وَيُهَيِّئْ لَكُم مِّنْ أَمْرِكُم مِّرْفَقًا | Wa idhi i’tazaltumūhum wa mā ya’budūn illā Allāh fa’wū ilā al-kahf yanshur lakum rabbukum min raḥmatihi wa yuhayyi’ lakum min amrikum mirafqa. | ‘And when you have withdrawn from them and that which they worship other than Allah, retreat to the cave. Your Lord will spread out for you of His mercy and will prepare for you from your affair a place of relief.'” |
| 17 | وَتَرَى الشَّمْسَ إِذَا طَلَعَتْ تَزِفُّ عَن كَهْفِهِمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَإِذَا غَرَبَتْ تَقْرِضُهُمْ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ وَهُمْ فِي فَجْوَةٍ مِّنْهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ ۗ مَن يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِ ۖ وَمَن يُضْلِلْ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُ وَلِيًّا مُّرْشِدًا | Wa tarā al-shams idhā tala’at taziff ‘an kahfihim dhāt al-yamīn wa idhā gharabat taqdibuhum dhāt al-shimāl wa hum fi fajwah minhu dhālik min āyāt Allāh man yahdī Allāh fa-huwa al-muhtadī wa man yudill fa-lan tajid lahu waliyyan murshida. | And you will see the sun when it rises, declining away from their cave on the right, and when it sets, turning away from them on the left, while they are within it. That is from the signs of Allah. Whoever Allah guides is the rightly guided, but whoever He leaves astray – you will never find for him a guiding protector.’ |
| 18 | وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ أَيْقَاظًا وَهُمْ رُقُودٌ ۚ وَنُقَلِّبُهُمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ ۖ وَكَلْبُهُم بَاسِطٌ ذِرَاعَيْهِ بِالْوَصِيدِ ۚ لَوِ اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَوَلَّيْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِرَارًا وَلَمُلِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ رُعْبًا | Wa tahsabuhum aiqāz wa hum ruqūd wa nuqallibuhum dhāt al-yamīn wa dhāt al-shimāl wa kalbuhum bāsit dhirā’ayhi bi-al-wasīd lawi ttala’ta ‘alayhim la-wallayta minhum firāra wa lamlī’t minhum ru’ba. | And you would think they were awake, although they were asleep. And We turned them to the right and to the left, and their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance. If you had looked at them, you would have turned from them in flight and been filled with fear of them. |
| 19 | وَكَذَٰلِكَ بَعَثْنَاهُمْ لِيَتَسَاءَلُوا بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ ۖ قَالُوا لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ ۚ قَالُوا رَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثْتُمْ فَابْعَثُوا أَحَدَكُم بِوَرِقِكُمْ هَٰذِهِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيَنظُرْ أَيُّهَا أَزْكَىٰ طَعَامًا فَلْيَأْتِكُم بِرِزْقٍ مِّنْهُ وَلْيَتَلَطَّفْ وَلَا يُشْعِرَنَّ بِكُمْ أَحَدًا | Wa kadhālik ba’athnāhum li-yatasā’alū baynamhum qāla qā’il minhum kam labithtu qālū labithna yawman aw ba’d yawm qālū rabbukum a’lam bi-mā labithtu fab’athū ahidakum bi-wariqikum hādhih ilā al-madīnah fa-lyanżur ayyuhā azka ta’āman fa-lya’tikum bi-rizq minhu wa lyatalattaf wa lā yushu’iranna bikum aḥada. | And similarly, We awakened them that they might question one another. A speaker among them said, ‘How long have you remained?’ They said, ‘We have remained a day or part of a day.’ They said, ‘Your Lord is most knowing of how long you remained. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city and let him look to which is the best food and bring you provision from it. But let him be cautious and not let anyone be aware of you.’ |
| 20 | إِنَّهُمْ إِن يَظْهَرُوا عَلَيْكُمْ يَرْجُمُوكُمْ أَوْ يُعِيدُوكُمْ فِي مِلَّتِهِمْ وَلَن تُفْلِحُوا إِذًا أَبَدًا | Innahum in yazharu ‘alaykum yarjumūkum aw yu’īdūkum fi millatihim wa lan tuflihū idhā abada. | ‘For if they come to know of you, they will stone you or return you to their religion. And you would never succeed, then, ever.'” |
| 21 | وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَأَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهَا إِذْ يَتَنَازَعُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَمْرَهُمْ ۖ فَقَالُوا ابْنُوا عَلَيْهِم بُنْيَانًا ۖ رَّبُّهُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ ۚ قَالَ الَّذِينَ غَلَبُوا عَلَىٰ أَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِم مَّسْجِدًا | Wa kadhālik a’tharnā ‘alayhim li-ya’lamū anna wa’d Allāh haqq wa anna al-sā’ah lā rayb fīhā idh yatanāza’ūn baynamhum amrahum fa-qālū-bnū ‘alayhim bunyānan rabbuhum a’lam bihim qāl al-ladhīn ghalabū ‘alā amrihim lana-ttakhidhanna ‘alayhim masjida. | And thus We caused them to be discovered that the people might know that the promise of Allah is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [This was] when they disputed among themselves about their affair and [then] said, ‘Construct over them a building. Their Lord is most knowing about them.’ Said those who overcame the matter, ‘We will surely take [for ourselves] a place of worship over them.'” |
| 22 | سَيَقُولُونَ ثَلَاثَةٌ رَّابِعُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ خَمْسَةٌ سَادِسُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ رَجْمًا بِالْغَيْبِ ۖ وَيَقُولُونَ سَبْعَةٌ وَثَامِنُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ ۚ قُل رَّبِّي أَعْلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِم مَّا يَعْلَمُهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ ۗ فَلَا تُمَارِ فِيهِمْ إِلَّا مِرَاءً ظَاهِرًا وَلَا تَسْتَفْتِ فِيهِم مِّنْهُمْ أَحَدًا | Sayqūlūn thalāthah rābī’uhum kalbuhum wa yaqūlūn khamsah sādisuhum kalbuhum rajman bi-al-ghayb wa yaqūlūn saba’ah wa thāminuhum kalbuhum qul rabbi a’lam bi-‘iddatihim mā ya’lamuhum illā qalīl falā tumāri fīhim illā mirā’ zāhira wa lā tastafti fīhim minhum aḥada. | They will say there were three, the fourth of them being their dog; and they will say there were five, the sixth of them being their dog – guessing at the unseen; and they will say there were seven, and the eighth of them was their dog. Say, ‘My Lord is most knowing of their number. None knows them except a few. So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument and do not inquire about them among [the people] from anyone.'” |
| 23 | وَلَا تَقُولَنَّ لِشَيْءٍ إِنِّي فَاعِلٌ ذَٰلِكَ غَدًا | Wa lā taqūlanna li-shay’ innī fā’il dhālik ghada. | And never say of anything, ‘Indeed, I will do that tomorrow.'” |
| 24 | إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ وَاذْكُر رَّبَّكَ إِذَا نَسِيتَ وَقُلْ عَسَىٰ أَن يَهْدِيَنِ رَبِّي لِأَقْرَبَ مِنْ هَٰذَا رَشَدًا | Illā an yashā Allāh wa-udh-kur rabbak idhā nasīt wa qul ‘asā an yahdīn rabbi li-aqrab min hādhā rashadā. | ‘Except [when adding], ‘If Allah wills.’ And remember your Lord when you forget [it] and say, ‘Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to right guidance.”” |
| 25 | وَلَبِثُوا فِي كَهْفِهِمْ ثَلَاثَ مِائَةٍ سِنِينَ وَازْدَادُوا تِسْعًا | Wa labithū fi kahfihim thalāth mi’ah sinīn wa-izdādū tis’a. | And they remained in their cave for three hundred years and exceeded by nine. |
| 26 | قُلِ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُوا ۖ لَهُ غَيْبُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ أَبْصِرْ بِهِ وَأَسْمِعْ ۚ مَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلَا يُشْرِكُ فِي حُكْمِهِ أَحَدًا | Qul Allāhu a’lam bi-mā labithū lahu ghayb al-samāwāt wa-al-ard absir bihi wa-asmī’ mā lahum min dūnihi min walīy wa lā yushrik fi ḥukmihī aḥada. | Say, ‘Allah is most knowing of how long they remained. To Him belongs [knowledge of] the unseen of the heavens and the earth. How Seeing is He and how Hearing! They have not besides Him any protector, and He shares not His legislation with anyone.'” |
| 27 | وَاتْلُ مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ مِن كِتَابِ رَبِّكَ ۖ لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَلَن تَجِدَ مِن دُونِهِ مُلْتَحَدًا | Wa-atli mā ūḥiya ilayka min kitāb rabbik lā mubaddil li-kalimātihi wa lan tajid min dūnihi multaḥada. | And recite, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord. There is no changer of His words, and never will you find in other than Him a refuge.’ |
| 28 | وَاصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ ۖ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنَاكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَا تُطِعْ مَن أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُهُ فُرُطًا | Wa-asbar nafsak ma’a al-ladhīn yad’ūn rabbahum bi-al-ghadāh wa-al-‘ashiyy yurīdūn wajhahu wa lā ta’du ‘aynak ‘anhum turīd zīnat al-ḥayāh al-dunyā wa lā tut’ man aghlana qalbahu ‘an dhikrinā wa-ttaba’a hawāhu wa kān amruhu furtā. | And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His countenance. And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of worldly life. And do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever [in] transgression.'” |
| 29 | وَقُلِ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ فَمَن شَاءَ فَلْيُؤْمِن وَمَن شَاءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ ۚ إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ نَارًا أَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَا ۚ وَإِن يَسْتَغِيثُوا يُغَاثُوا بِمَاءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ يَشْوِي الْوُجُوهَ ۚ بِئْسَ الشَّرَابُ وَسَاءَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا | Wa qul al-haqq min rabbikum fa-man shā’ fa-lyu’min wa man shā’ fa-lya-fur innā a’tadnā li-al-zālimīn nāran ahāta bihim surāduquhā wa in yastaghīthū yughaythū bi-mā’an ka-al-muhl yasḥwī al-wujūh bi’s al-sharāb wa sā’at muraftaq. | And say, ‘The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills – let him believe; and whoever wills – let him disbelieve.’ Indeed, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a fire whose walls will surround them. And if they call for relief, they will be relieved with water like murky oil, which scalds [their] faces. Wretched is the drink, and evil is the resting place.’ |
| 30 | إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ إِنَّا لَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ مَن أَحْسَنَ عَمَلًا | Inna al-ladhīn āmanū wa ‘amilū al-sālihāt innā lā nudī’ ajr man ahsan ‘amala. | Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds – indeed, We will not let the reward of one who does good deeds go to waste.’ |

| 31 | أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهِمُ الْأَنْهَارُ يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيهَا مِنْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٍ وَيَلْبَسُونَ ثِيَابًا خُضْرًا مِّن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَّكِئِينَ فِيهَا عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ ۚ نِعْمَ الثَّوَابُ وَحَسُنَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا | Ulā’ik lahum jannāt ‘adan tajrī min taḥtihim al-anhār yuḥallawun fīhā min asāwir min dhahab wa yalbisūn thiyāb khidr min sundus wa istbarc muttakī’īn fīhā ‘alā al-arā’ik ni’m al-thawāb wa ḥusat muraftaq. | Those will have gardens of perpetual residence; beneath them rivers will flow. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and will wear green garments of fine silk and brocade, reclining therein on adorned couches. Excellent is the reward, and good is the resting place. |
| 32 | وَاضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلًا رَجُلَيْنِ جَعَلْنَا لِأَحَدِهِمَا جَنَّتَيْنِ مِنْ أَعْنَابٍ وَحَفَفْنَاهُمَا بِنَخْلٍ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمَا زَرْعًا | Wa-iḍrib lahum mathalan rajulayn ja’alnā li-aḥadihimā jannatayn min a’nāb wa ḥaffafnāhumā bi-nakhul wa ja’alnā baynamhā zar’a. | And present to them an example of two men: We granted to one of them two gardens of grapevines, and We surrounded them with date palms and placed between them [fields of] crops. |
| 33 | كِلَا الْجَنَّتَيْنِ آتَتْ أُكُلَهَا وَلَمْ تَظْلِم مِّنْهُ شَيْئًا ۚ وَفَجَّرْنَا خِلَالَهُمَا نَهَرًا | Kilā al-jannatayn ātat uklahā wa lam zaẓlim minhu shay’a wa fajjarnā khilālahuma nahara. | Each of the two gardens produced its fruit and did not fail in the least therein. And We caused to gush forth within them a river. |
| 34 | وَكَانَ لَهُ ثَمَرٌ فَقَالَ لِصَاحِبِهِ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهُ أَنَا أَكْثَرُ مِنكَ مَالًا وَأَعَزُّ نَفَرًا | Wa kāna lahu thamar fa-qāla li-sāhibihi wa huwa yuḥāwiruhu anā aktharu minka māla wa a’azz nafara. | And he had fruit, and he said to his companion while he was conversing with him, ‘I am greater than you in wealth and superior in [numbers of] men.’ |
| 35 | وَدَخَلَ جَنَّتَهُ وَهُوَ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِ قَالَ مَا أَظُنُّ أَن تَبِيدَ هَٰذِهِ أَبَدًا | Wa dakhala jannataḥ wa huwa zālim li-nafsih qāla mā azunn an tabīd hādhih abada. | And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself. He said, ‘I do not think that this will perish ever.’ |
| 36 | وَمَا أَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَائِمَةً وَلَئِن رُّجِعْتُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي لَأَجِدَنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهَا مُنقَلَبًا | Wa mā azunn al-sā’ah qā’imah wa la-in rujī’t ilā rabbi la-ajidanna khayra minhā munqalaba. | And I do not think the Hour will occur. But if indeed I should be brought back to my Lord, I will surely find better than this as a return.’ |
| 37 | قَالَ لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهُ أَكَفَرْتَ بِالَّذِي خَلَقَكَ مِن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ سَوَّاكَ رَجُلًا | Qāla lahu sāhibuhu wa huwa yuḥāwiruhu akafarta bi-al-ladhī khalaqak min turāb thumma min nutfah thumma sawwāk rajula. | His companion said to him while conversing with him, ‘Have you disbelieved in He who created you from dust and then from a sperm-drop and then proportioned you as a man?’ |
| 38 | لَّٰكِنَّا هُوَ اللَّهُ رَبِّي وَلَا أُشْرِكُ بِرَبِّي أَحَدًا | Lākin-nā huwa Allāh rabbī wa lā ushrik bi-rabbī aḥada. | But as for me, Allah is my Lord, and I do not associate with my Lord anyone.’ |
| 39 | وَلَوْلَا إِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ۚ إِن تَرَنِ أَنَا أَقَلَّ مِنكَ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا | Wa lawlā idh dakhal jannatatak qulta mā shā Allāh lā quwwah illā bi-Allāh in taranī anā aqall minka māla wa walada. | ‘And why did you, when you entered your garden, not say, ‘What Allah has willed [has occurred]; there is no power except in Allah’? Although you see me less than you in wealth and children,’ |
| 40 | فَعَسَىٰ رَبِّي أَن يُؤْتِيَنِ خَيْرًا مِّن جَنَّتِكَ وَيُرْسِلْ عَلَيْهَا حُسْبَانًا مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ فَتُصْبِحَ صَعِيدًا زَلَقًا | Fa-‘asā rabbi an yu’tīanī khayra min jannatayk wa yursil ‘alayhā ḥusbānan min al-samā’ fa-tusbiḥ sa’īd zalaq. | ‘Perhaps my Lord will give me [something] better than your garden and will send upon it a calamity from the sky, and it will become a barren wasteland,’ |
| 41 | أَوْ يُصْبِحُ مَاؤُهَا غَوْرًا فَلَن تَسْتَطِيعَ لَهُ طَلَبًا | Aw yusbiḥ mā’uhā ghawr fa-lan tastati’ lahu talaba. | ‘Or its water will become sunken [into the earth], and you will never be able to seek it out.'” |
| 42 | وَأُحِيطَ بِثَمَرِهِ فَأَصْبَحَ يُقَلِّبُ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَىٰ مَا أَنفَقَ فِيهَا وَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا وَيَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أُشْرِكْ بِرَبِّي أَحَدًا | Wa uḥīt bi-thamarih fa-asbah yuqallub kaffayhi ‘alā mā anfaqa fīhā wa hiya khāwiyah ‘alā ‘urūshihā wa yaqūl yā laytanī lam ushrik bi-rabbī aḥada. | And his fruit was encompassed [by ruin], so he began to turn his hands over what he had spent on it, while it had collapsed upon its trellises. And he said, ‘Oh, I wish I had not associated with my Lord anyone.'” |
| 43 | وَلَمْ تَكُن لَّهُ فِئَةٌ يَنصُرُونَهُ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ مُنتَصِرًا | Wa lam takun lahu fi’ah yansurūnahu min dūn Allāh wa mā kān muntasir. | And there was for him no company to aid him other than Allah, nor could he defend himself. |
| 44 | هُنَالِكَ الْوَلَايَةُ لِلَّهِ الْحَقِّ ۚ هُوَ خَيْرٌ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ عُقْبًا | Hunālik al-walāyah li-Allāh al-ḥaqq huwa khayru thawāban wa khayru ‘uqba. | There, the authority [to judge] is for Allah, the Truth. He is best in reward and best in outcome. |
| 45 | وَاضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَاءٍ أَنزَلْنَاهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهِ نَبَاتُ الْأَرْضِ فَأَصْبَحَ هَشِيمًا تَذْرُوهُ الرِّيَاحُ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّقْتَدِرًا | Wa-iḍrib lahum mathal al-ḥayāh al-dunyā ka-mā’in anzalnāhu min al-samā’ fa-akhtalaṭ bihi nabāt al-ard fa-asbah hashīm tadhrawhu al-riyāḥ wa kān Allāh ‘alā kulli shay’ muqtadira. | And present to them the example of the life of this world: it is like water which We have sent down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth becomes entangled with it and [then] it becomes dry remnants, scattered by the winds. And Allah is ever, over all things, Perfect in Ability. |
| 46 | الْمَالُ وَالْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلًا | Al-māl wa-al-banūn zīnat al-ḥayāh al-dunyā wa-al-bāqiyāt al-sālihāt khayru ‘ind rabbik thawāban wa khayru amala. | Wealth and children are [but] adornments of worldly life. But the everlasting good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one’s] hope. |
| 47 | وَيَوْمَ نُسَيِّرُ الْجِبَالَ وَتَرَى الْأَرْضَ بَارِزَةً وَحَشَرْنَاهُمْ فَلَمْ نُغَادِرْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا | Wa yawm nusayyir al-jibāl wa tarā al-ard bārizah wa ḥasharnāhum fa-lam nughadir minhum aḥada. | And [mention, O Muhammad], the Day when We will remove the mountains and you will see the earth leveled and bare, and We will gather them, and not leave behind from them anyone. |
| 48 | وَعُرِضُوا عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ صَفًّا لَّقَدْ جِئْتُمُونَا كَمَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ ۚ بَلْ زَعَمْتُمْ أَن لَّن نَّجْعَلَ لَكُم مَّوْعِدًا | Wa ‘urizū ‘alā rabbik saffa laqad ji’tumūnā ka-mā khalaqnākum awwal marrah bal za’amtum an lan naj’al lakum maw’ida. | And they will be presented before your Lord in rows, [and He will say], ‘You have certainly come to Us as We created you the first time. But you claimed that We would never make for you an appointment.'” |
| 49 | وَوُضِعَ الْكِتَابُ فَتَرَى الْمُجْرِمِينَ مُشْفِقِينَ مِمَّا فِيهِ وَيَقُولُونَ يَا وَيْلَتَنَا مَالِ هَٰذَا الْكِتَابِ لَا يُغَادِرُ صَغِيرَةً وَلَا كَبِيرَةً إِلَّا أَحْصَاهَا ۚ وَوَجَدُوا مَا عَمِلُوا حَاضِرًا ۚ وَلَا يَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَدًا | Wa wuḍi’ al-kitāb fa-tarā al-mujrimīn mushfiqīn mimma fīhi wa yaqūlūn yā wayl-tanā māl hādhā al-kitāb lā yughadir saghīrah wa lā kabīrah illā aḥsāhā wa wajadū mā ‘amilū ḥādir wa lā zaẓlum rabbuk aḥada. | And the record [of deeds] will be placed [before you], and you will see the criminals fearful of that within it. And they will say, ‘Oh, woe to us! What is this book that leaves not a small [deed] nor a great one except that it has enumerated it?’ And they will find all that they did before them. And your Lord does injustice to no one.” |
| 50 | وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ كَانَ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِ ۗ أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِن دُونِي وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ ۚ بِئْسَ لِلظَّالِمِينَ بَدَلًا | Wa idh qulnā li-al-malā’ikah asjudū li-ādam fa-sajadū illā iblīs kān min al-jinn fa-fasa min amr rabbihi a-fattakhidhūnahu wa dhurriyyatahu awliyā’ min dūnī wa hum lakum ‘aduww bi’s li-al-zālimīn badala. | And [mention] when We said to the angels, ‘Prostrate before Adam,’ and they prostrated, except for Iblis. He was of the jinn and departed from the command of his Lord. So will you take him and his descendants as allies other than Me while they are enemies to you? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange.” |
| 51 | مَا أَشْهَدتُّهُمْ خَلْقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَا خَلْقَ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمَا كُنتُ مُتَّخِذَ الْمُضِلِّينَ عَضُدًا | Mā ashhadtuhum khalq al-samāwāt wa-al-ard wa lā khalq anfusihim wa mā kuntu muttakhidh al-mudillīn ‘adadā. | I did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth or to the creation of themselves, and I would not have taken the misguiders as assistants. |
| 52 | وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ نَادِ شُرَكَائِيَ الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ ۖ فَدَعَاهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا لَهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّوْبِقًا | Wa yawm yaqūl nādi shurakā’ī al-ladhīn za’amtum fa-da’āhum fa-lam yastajībū lahum wa ja’alnā baynahum mawbiq. | And [mention] the Day when He will say, ‘Call upon those you claimed were My partners,’ and they will call upon them, but they will not respond to them. And We will put between them [a valley of] destruction.” |
| 53 | وَرَأَى الْمُجْرِمُونَ النَّارَ فَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُم مُّوَاقِعُوهَا وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا عَنْهَا مَصْرِفًا | Wa ra’ā al-mujrimūn al-nār fa-zannū annahum muwāqi’ūhā wa lam yajidū ‘anhā masrif. | And the criminals will see the Fire and realize that they are bound to fall therein. And they will find no way of escape from it.” |
| 54 | وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِي هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنِ لِلنَّاسِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ ۚ وَكَانَ الْإِنسَانُ أَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلًا | Wa laqad sarrафnā fi hādhā al-qur’ān li-al-nās min kulli mathal wa kān al-insān aktharu shay’ jadala. | And We have certainly diversified in this Quran for the people from every [kind of] example; but man has ever been, most of all things, argumentative.” |
| 55 | وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا إِذْ جَاءَهُمُ الْهُدَىٰ إِلَّا أَن قَالُوا أَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ بَشَرًا رَّسُولًا | Wa mā mana’a al-nās an yu’minū idh jā’ahum al-hudā illā an qālū a-ba’atha Allāh bashar rasūla. | And nothing prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them except that they said, ‘Has Allah sent a human messenger?'” |
| 56 | قُل لَّوْ كَانَ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَلَائِكَةٌ يَمْشُونَ مُطْمَئِنِّينَ لَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ مَلَكًا رَّسُولًا | Qul law kān fi al-ard malā’ikah yashshūn mutma’inīn lanazzalnā ‘alayhim min al-samā’ malak rasūla. | Say, ‘If there were upon the earth angels walking in security, We would have sent down to them from the heaven an angel [as a] messenger.'” |
| 57 | قُلْ كَفَىٰ بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ خَبِيرًا بَصِيرًا | Qul kafā bi-Allāh shahīd baynī wa baynakum innahu kān bi-‘ibādihi khabīr basīr. | Say, ‘Sufficient is Allah as witness between me and you. Indeed, He is ever Knower and Seer of His servants.'” |
| 58 | وَمَن يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِ ۖ وَمَن يُضْلِلْ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِن دُونِهِ ۖ وَنَحْشُرُهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمْ عُمْيًا وَبُكْمًا وَصُمًّا ۖ مَّأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ ۖ كُلَّمَا خَبَتْ زِدْنَاهُمْ سَعِيرًا | Wa man yahdī Allāhu fa-huwa al-muhtadī wa man yudill fa-lan tajid lahum awliyā’ min dūnihi wa naḥshuruhum yawm al-qiyāmah ‘alā wujūhihim ‘umyan wa bukan wa summan ma’wāhum jahannam kullama khabat zidnāhum sa’īr. | And whoever Allah guides is the rightly guided; and whoever He leaves astray – you will never find for them protectors other than Him. And We will gather them on the Day of Resurrection on their faces – blind, dumb, and deaf. Their refuge will be Hell; every time it subsides, We increase for them the blaze.” |
| 59 | ذَٰلِكَ جَزَاؤُهُم بِأَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَقَالُوا أَئِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا وَرُفَاتًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ خَلْقًا جَدِيدًا | Dhālik jazā’uhum bi-annahum kafarū bi-āyātinā wa qālū a-idhā kunnā ‘izāman wa rufātan a-innā la-mab’ūthūn khalq jadīd. | That is their recompense because they disbelieved in Our signs and said, ‘When we are bones and fragments, will we really be resurrected in a new creation?'” |
| 60 | أَوَ لَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ قَادِرٌ عَلَىٰ أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَهُمْ أَجَلًا لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهِ ۚ فَأَبَى الظَّالِمُونَ إِلَّا كُفُورًا | A-walam yarū anna Allāh al-ladhī khalaqa al-samāwāt wa-al-ard qādir ‘alā an yakhluq mithlahum wa ja’al lahum ajal lā rayb fīh fa-abā al-zālimūn illā kufūr. | Do they not see that Allah, who created the heavens and the earth, is able to create the likes of them? And He has appointed for them a term, about which there is no doubt. But the wrongdoers refuse [anything] except disbelief.” |

| 61 | وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِفَتَاهُ لَا أَبْرَحُ حَتَّىٰ أَبْلُغَ مَجْمَعَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ أَوْ أَمْضِيَ حُقُبًا | Wa idh qāla mūsā li-fatāhu lā abraḥ ḥattā ablugh majma’ al-baḥrayn aw amḍī ḥuqub. | And [mention, O Muhammad], when Moses said to his boy servant, ‘I will not cease [traveling] until I reach the junction of the two seas or until I spend years in travel.'” |
| 62 | فَلَمَّا بَلَغَا مَجْمَعَ بَيْنِهِمَا نَسِيَا حُوتَهُمَا فَاتَّخَذَ سَبِيلَهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ سَرَبًا | Fa-lammā balaghā majma’ baynamhā nasiyā ḥūtahum fa-ittakhidha sabīlahu fi al-baḥr sarba. | But when they reached the junction between them, they forgot their fish, and it took its course into the sea, slipping away.” |
| 63 | فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَا قَالَ لِفَتَاهُ آتِنَا غَدَاءَنَا لَقَدْ لَقِينَا مِن سَفَرِنَا هَٰذَا نَصَبًا | Fa-lammā jāwazā qāla li-fatāhu ātinā ghadā’anā laqad laqīnā min safarinā hādhā nasab. | So when they had passed beyond, Moses said to his boy servant, ‘Bring us our morning meal. We have certainly suffered in this, our journey, [much] fatigue.'” |
| 64 | قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِذْ أَوَيْنَا إِلَى الصَّخْرَةِ فَإِنِّي نَسِيتُ الْحُوتَ وَمَا أَنسَانِيهُ إِلَّا الشَّيْطَانُ أَن أَذْكُرَهُ وَاتَّخَذَ سَبِيلَهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ عَجَبًا | Qāla arāyta idh awaynā ilā al-sakhrah fa-innī nasītu al-ḥūt wa mā ansānīhu illā al-shaytān an adh-kurah wa-ittakhidha sabīlahu fi al-baḥr ‘ajaba. | He said, ‘Did you see when we retired to the rock? Indeed, I forgot [about] the fish. None made me forget it except Satan – to mention it. And it took its course into the sea in an amazing way.'” |
| 65 | قَالَ ذَٰلِكَ مَا كُنَّا نَبْغِ ۚ فَارْتَدَّا عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًا | Qāla dhālik mā kunnā nabgh fa-rtaddā ‘alā āthārimā qasasa. | Moses said, ‘That is what we were seeking.’ So they returned, following their footprints.” |
| 66 | فَوَجَدَا عَبْدًا مِّنْ عِبَادِنَا آتَيْنَاهُ رَحْمَةً مِنْ عِندِنَا وَعَلَّمْنَاهُ مِن لَّدُنَّا عِلْمًا | Fa-wajadā ‘abdan min ‘ibādinā ātaynāhu raḥmah min ‘indinā wa ‘allamānahu min ladunnā ‘ilma. | And they found a servant from among Our servants to whom We had given mercy from us and had taught him from Us a [certain] knowledge.” |
| 67 | قَالَ لَهُ مُوسَىٰ هَلْ أَتَّبِعُكَ عَلَىٰ أَن تُعَلِّمَنِ مِمَّا عُلِّمْتَ رُشْدًا | Qāla lahu mūsā hal attabi’uka ‘alā an tu’allimani mimmā ‘ullīmt rushda. | Moses said to him, ‘May I follow you on [the condition] that you teach me from what you have been taught of sound judgment?'” |
| 68 | قَالَ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسْتَطِيعَ مَعِيَ صَبْرًا | Qāla innaka lan tastatī’ ma’ī sabra. | He said, ‘Indeed, with me you will never be able to have patience.'” |
| 69 | وَكَيْفَ تَصْبِرُ عَلَىٰ مَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِ خُبْرًا | Wa kayf tasbar ‘alā mā lam tuḥit bihi khubra. | ‘And how can you have patience for what you have not encompassed in knowledge?'” |

| 71 | قَالَ فَإِن تَّبِعْتَنِي فَلَا تَسْأَلْنِي عَن شَيْءٍ حَتَّىٰ أُحْدِثَ لَكَ مِنْهُ ذِكْرًا | Qāla fa-in ttaba’tanī fa-lā tas’alnī ‘an shay’ ḥattā uḥdith laka minhu dhikra. | He said, ‘Then if you follow me, do not ask me about anything until I make to you of it an announcement.'” |
| 72 | فَانطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰ إِذَا رَكِبَا فِي السَّفِينَةِ خَرَقَهَا ۖ قَالَ أَخَرَقْتَهَا لِتُغْرِقَ أَهْلَهَا لَقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْئًا إِمْرًا | Fa-ntalaqa ḥattā idhā rakibā fi al-safīnah kharaqahā qāla akharaqtahā li-tughriq ahlahā laqad ji’t shay’an imra. | So they set out, until when they got into the boat, he made a hole in it. [Moses] said, ‘Have you made a hole in it to drown its people? You have certainly done a grave thing.'” |
| 73 | قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُلْ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسْتَطِيعَ مَعِيَ صَبْرًا | Qāla alam qul innaka lan tastatī’ ma’ī sabra. | He said, ‘Did I not tell you that with me you would never be able to have patience?'” |

| 75 | فَانطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰ إِذَا لَقِيَا غُلَامًا فَقَتَلَهُ ۖ قَالَ أَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا زَكِيَّةً بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ ۖ لَّقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْئًا نُّكْرًا | Fa-ntalaqa ḥattā idhā laqiyā ghulāman fa-qatalahu qāla aqatalta nafsan zakiyyah bi-ghayri nafs laqad ji’t shay’an nukra. | So they set out, until when they met a boy, he killed him. [Moses] said, ‘Have you killed an innocent soul for [a reason] other than that he killed someone? You have certainly done a thing that is detestable.'” |
| 76 | قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكَ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسْتَطِيعَ مَعِيَ صَبْرًا | Qāla alam qul lak innaka lan tastatī’ ma’ī sabra. | He said, ‘Did I not tell you that with me you would never be able to have patience?'” |
| 77 | قَالَ إِن سَأَلْتُكَ عَن شَيْءٍ بَعْدَهَا فَلَا تُصَاحِبْنِي ۖ قَدْ بَلَغْتَ مِن لَّدُنِّي عُذْرًا | Qāl in sa’altuka ‘an shay’ ba’dahā fa-lā tusāḥibnī qad balaghta min ladunnī ‘udhra. | Moses said, ‘If I should ask you about anything after this, then do not keep me as a companion. You have obtained from me an excuse.'” |
| 78 | فَانطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰ إِذَا أَتَيَا أَهْلَ قَرْيَةٍ اسْتَطْعَمَا أَهْلَهَا فَأَبَوْا أَن يَضِيفُوهُمَا فَوَجَدَا فِيهَا جِدَارًا يُرِيدُ أَن يَنقَضَّ فَأَقَامَهُ ۖ قَالَ لَوْ شِئْتَ لَاتَّخَذْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا | Fa-ntalaqa ḥattā idhā atayā ahal qaryah-isṭa’amā ahlahā fa-abaw an yaḍīfūhumā fa-wajadā fīhā jidār yurīd an yanqadd fa-aqāmahu qāl law shi’t la-ttakhaadhta ‘alayhi ajra. | So they set out, until when they came to the people of a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to offer them hospitality. And they found therein a wall about to collapse, so he restored it. [Moses] said, ‘If you had wished, you could have taken for it a payment.'” |
| 79 | قَالَ هَٰذَا فِرَاقُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنِكَ ۚ سَأُنَبِّئُكَ بِتَأْوِيلِ مَا لَمْ تَسْتَطِع عَّلَيْهِ صَبْرًا | Qāla hādhā firāq baynī wa baynyk sa-unabbī’uka bi-ta’wīl mā lam tastat’ ‘alayhi sabra. | He said, ‘This is parting [of the ways] between me and you. I will inform you of the interpretation of that over which you could not have patience.'” |
| 80 | أَمَّا السَّفِينَةُ فَكَانَتْ لِمَسَاكِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَأَرَدتُّ أَن أَعِيبَهَا وَكَانَ وَرَاءَهُم مَّلِكٌ يَأْخُذُ كُلَّ سَفِينَةٍ غَصْبًا | Ammā al-safīnah fa-kānat li-masākīn ya’malūn fi al-baḥr fa-aradtu an a’ībahā wa kān warā’ahum malik ya’khudh kull safīnah ghasby. | As for the boat, it belonged to poor people working at sea. So I intended to cause defect in it as there was after them a king who seized every [good] boat by force.” |
| 81 | وَأَمَّا الْغُلَامُ فَكَانَ أَبَوَاهُ مُؤْمِنَيْنِ فَخَشِينَا أَن يُرْهِقَهُمَا طُغْيَانًا وَكُفْرًا | Wa ammā al-ghulām fa-kān abawāhu mu’minay fa-khashīnā an yurḥiqahumā ughyānan wa kufra. | As for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief.” |
| 82 | فَأَرَدْنَا أَن يُبْدِلَهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا خَيْرًا مِّنْهُ زَكَاةً وَأَقْرَبَ رُحْمًا | Fa-aradnā an yubdilahum rabbuhum khayran minhu zakāh wa aqrab ruḥma. | So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and give them affection from Him.” |
| 83 | وَأَمَّا الْجِدَارُ فَكَانَ لِغُلَامَيْنِ يَتِيمَيْنِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَ تَحْتَهُ كَنزٌ لَّهُمَا وَكَانَ أَبُوهُمَا صَالِحًا فَأَرَادَ رَبُّكَ أَن يَبْلُغَا أَشُدَّهُمَا وَيَسْتَخْرِجَا كَنزَهُمَا رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ وَمَا فَعَلْتُهُ عَنْ أَمْرِي ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَأْوِيلُ مَا لَمْ تَسْطِع عَّلَيْهِ صَبْرًا | Wa ammā al-jidār fa-kān li-ghulāmayn yatīmayn fi al-madīnah wa kān taḥtahu kanz lahuma wa kān abūhuma sālih fa-arād rabbuk an yabluġā ashiddahuma wa yastakhrijā kanzahum raḥmah min rabbik wa mā fa’altuhu ‘an amrī dhālik ta’wīl mā lam tastat’ ‘alayhi sabra. | As for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city whose father was righteous. So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, [out] of mercy from your Lord. And I did not do it of my own accord. That is the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience.'” |
| 84 | وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَن ذِي الْقَرْنَيْنِ ۖ قُلْ سَأَتْلُو عَلَيْكُم مِّنْهُ ذِكْرًا | Wa yas’alūnaka ‘an dhī al-qarnay qul satlu ‘alaykum minhu dhikra. | And they ask you about Dhul-Qarnayn. Say, ‘I will recite to you about him a mention.'” |
| 85 | إِنَّا مَكَّنَّا لَهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَآتَيْنَاهُ مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ سَبَبًا | Innā makannā lahu fi al-ard wa ātaynāhu min kulli shay’ sabab. | Indeed, We established for him in the land and gave him to everything a way of access.” |
| 86 | فَأَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا | Fa-atba’a sabab. | So he followed a way.” |
| 87 | حَتَّىٰ إِذَا بَلَغَ مَغْرِبَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَغْرُبُ فِي عَيْنٍ حَمِئَةٍ وَوَجَدَ عِندَهَا قَوْمًا ۗ قُلْنَا يَا ذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ إِمَّا أَن تُعَذِّبَ وَإِمَّا أَن تَتَّخِذَ فِيهِمْ حُسْنًا | Ḥattā idhā balaghā magħrib al-shams wajadahā taghrubu fi ‘ayn hamī’ah wa wajad ‘indahā qawman qulnā yā dhā al-qarnay immā an tu’adhdhib wa immā an tattakhidh fīhim husna. | Until when he reached the sunset, he found it setting into a dark sea, and found at its [shore] a people. We said, ‘O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness.'” |
| 88 | قَالَ أَمَّا مَن ظَلَمَ فَسَوْفَ نُعَذِّبُهُ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ فَيُعَذِّبُهُ عَذَابًا نُّكْرًا | Qāl ammā man zaẓlam fa-sawf nu’adhdhihu thumma yuradd ilā rabbihi fa-yu’adhdhihuhu ‘adhāb nukra. | He said, ‘As for one who wrongs, we will punish him. Then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with a terrible punishment.'” |
| 89 | وَأَمَّا مَنْ آمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلَهُ جَزَاءُ الْحُسْنَىٰ ۖ وَسَنَقُولُ لَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِنَا يُسْرًا | Wa ammā man āman wa ‘amila sālih fa-lahu jazā’ al-ḥusnā wa sanaqūl lahu min amrinā yusra. | ‘But as for one who believes and does righteousness, he will have a reward of the best, and we will speak to him from our command with ease.'” |
| 90 | ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا | Thumma atba’a sabab. | Then he followed a way.” |
| 91 | حَتَّىٰ إِذَا بَلَغَ مَطْلَعَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَطْلُعُ عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ لَّمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُم مِّن دُونِهَا سِتْرًا | Ḥattā idhā balaghā maṭla’ al-shams wajadahā taṭlu’ ‘alā qawm lam naj’al lahum min dūnihā sitr. | Until when he reached the sunrise, he found it rising on a people for whom We had not made against the sun any shield.” |
| 92 | كَذَٰلِكَ وَقَدْ أَحَطْنَا بِمَا لَدَيْهِ خُبْرًا | Kadhālik wa qad aḥatnā bi-mā ladayhi khubra. | Thus. And We had encompassed [in Our knowledge] from him everything.” |
| 93 | ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا | Thumma atba’a sabab. | Then he followed a way.” |
| 94 | حَتَّىٰ إِذَا بَلَغَ بَيْنَ السَّدَّيْنِ وَجَدَ مِن دُونِهِمَا قَوْمًا لَّا يَكَادُونَ يَفْقَهُونَ قَوْلًا | Ḥattā idhā balaghā bayn al-saddayn wajad min dūnihimā qawman lā yakādūn yafqahūn qawla. | Until when he reached [the barrier] between two mountains, he found beside them a people who could almost not understand [his] speech.” |
| 95 | قَالُوا يَا ذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ إِنَّ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَهَلْ نَجْعَلُ لَكَ خَرْجًا عَلَىٰ أَن تَجْعَلَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ سِدًّا | Qālū yā dhā al-qarnay inna yāj ūj wa mā’j ūj mufsidūn fi al-ard fa-hal naj’al lak kharj ‘alā an taj’al baynanā wa baynahum sidd. | They said, ‘O Dhul-Qarnayn, indeed Gog and Magog are [great] corruptors in the land. So may we assign to you an expenditure that you might construct between us and them a barrier?'” |
| 96 | قَالَ مَا مَكَّنِّي فِيهِ رَبِّي خَيْرٌ ۖ فَأَعِينُونِ بِقُوَّةٍ أَجْعَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ جِدَارًا | Qāl mā makkannī fīhi rabbi khayrun fa-a’īnūnī bi-quwwah aj’al baynakum wa baynahum jidār. | He said, ‘That in which my Lord has established me is better [than what you offer]. So help me with strength [of] men, and I will make between you and them a dam.'” |
| 97 | آتُونِي زُفَرَ الْحَدِيدِ ۖ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا سَاوَىٰ بَيْنَ الصَّدَفَيْنِ قَالَ انفُخُوا ۖ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا جَعَلَهُ نَارًا قَالَ آتُونِي أُفْرِغْ عَلَيْهِ قِطْرًا | Ātūnī zufar al-ḥadīd ḥattā idhā sawā bayn al-sadafayn qāl anfkhū ḥattā idhā ja’alahu nāran qāl ātūnī ufrugh ‘alayhi qitr. | ‘Bring me sheets of iron.’ Until when he had leveled [them] between the two mountains, he said, ‘Blow.’ Until when he had made it [like] fire, he said, ‘Bring me, that I may pour over it molten copper.'” |
| 98 | فَمَا اسْطَاعُوا أَن يَظْهَرُوهُ وَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوا لَهُ نَقْبًا | Fa-mā staṭā’ū an yaẓharūhu wa mā staṭā’ū lahu naqba. | So Gog and Magog were unable to pass over it, nor were they able [to effect] in it any penetration.” |
| 99 | قَالَ هَٰذَا رَحْمَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّي ۖ فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ رَبِّي جَعَلَهُ دَكَّاءَ ۖ وَكَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّي حَقًّا | Qāl hādhā raḥmah min rabbi fa-idhā jā’a wa’d rabbi ja’alahu dakka’a wa kān wa’d rabbi ḥaqqa. | He said, ‘This is a mercy from my Lord. But when the promise of my Lord comes, He will make it level, and ever is the promise of my Lord true.'” |
| 100 | وَتَرَكْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَمُوجُ فِي بَعْضٍ ۖ وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَجَمَعْنَاهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ | Wa taraknā ba’dahum yawmidhin yamūj fi ba’dh wa nufikh fi al-sūr fa-jama’nāhum ajma’īn. | And We will leave some of them that day surging over others, and the Horn will be blown, and We will have gathered them all together.” |
| 101 | وَعَرَضْنَا جَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْكَافِرِينَ عَرْضًا | Wa ‘aradnā jahannam yawmidhin li-al-kāfirīn ‘ard. | And We will present Hell that Day to the disbelievers on display.” |
| 102 | الَّذِينَ كَانَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمْ فِي غِطَاءٍ عَن ذِكْرِي وَكَانُوا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ سَمْعًا | Al-ladhīn kānat a’yunuhum fi ghitā’ ‘an dhikrī wa kānū lā yastatī’ūn sama’a. | Those whose eyes had been under a cover with respect to My remembrance and were unable to hear.” |
| 103 | أَفَحَسِبَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَن يَتَّخِذُوا عِبَادِي مِن دُونِي أَوْلِيَاءَ ۚ إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلْكَافِرِينَ نُزُلًا | A-fa-ḥasib al-ladhīn kafarū an yattakhidhū ‘ibādī min dūnī awliyā’ innā a’tadnā jahannam li-al-kāfirīn nuzul. | Do those who have disbelieved think that they can take My servants, other than Me, as allies? Indeed, We have prepared Hell for the disbelievers as a lodging.” |
| 104 | قُلْ هَلْ نُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِالْأَخْسَرِينَ أَعْمَالًا | Qul hal nunabbī’ukum bi-al-akhsarīn a’māla. | Say, ‘Should we inform you of the greatest losers in [their] deeds?'” |
| 105 | الَّذِينَ ضَلَّ سَعْيُهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يُحْسِنُونَ صُنْعًا | Al-ladhīn dallā sa’yuhum fi al-ḥayāh al-dunyā wa hum yaḥsabūn annahum yuḥsinūn sun’a. | ‘Those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work.'” |
| 106 | أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَلِقَائِهِ فَحَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ فَلَا نُقِيمُ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَزْنًا | Ulā’ik al-ladhīn kafarū bi-āyāt rabbihim wa liqā’ihi fa-ḥabiṭat a’māluham fa-lā nuqīm lahum yawm al-qiyāmah wazna. | Those are the ones who disbelieved in the signs of their Lord and [in] the meeting with Him, so their deeds have become worthless, and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any importance.” |
| 107 | ذَٰلِكَ جَزَاؤُهُم جَهَنَّمُ بِمَا كَفَرُوا وَاتَّخَذُوا آيَاتِي وَرُسُلِي هُزُوًا | Dhālik jazā’uhum jahannam bi-mā kafarū wa-ittakhdhū āyātī wa rusulī huzuw. | That is their recompense: Hell, because they disbelieved and took My signs and My messengers in jest.” |
| 108 | إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ نُزُلًا | Inna al-ladhīn āmanū wa ‘amilū al-sālihāt kānat lahum jannāt al-firdaws nuzul. | Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds – they will have the gardens of al-Firdaws as a lodging.” |
| 109 | خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا لَا يَبْغُونَ عَنْهَا حِوَلًا | Khālidīn fīhā lā yabghūn ‘anhā ḥiwala. | Abiding therein eternally, they will not desire any transfer from it.” |
| 110 | قُل لَّوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِّكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّي لَنَفِدَ الْبَحْرُ قَبْلَ أَن تَنفَدَ كَلِمَاتُ رَبِّي وَلَوْ جِئْنَا بِمِثْلِهِ مَدَدًا | Qul law kān al-baḥr midād li-kalimāt rabbi la-nafd al-baḥr qabl an tanfad kalimāt rabbi wa law ji’nā bi-mithlihi madad. | Say, ‘If the sea were ink for [writing] the words of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even if We brought the like of it as a supplement.'” |
