بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

Bismillah hir rahman nir raheem

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

[00:07.00]

الٓرٰ‌ كِتٰبٌ اُحْكِمَتْ اٰيٰتُهٗ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ مِنْ لَّدُنْ حَكِيْمٍ خَبِيْرٍۙ‏﴿1﴾‏

1.Alif-Laaam-Raa; Kitaabun uhkimat Aayaatuhoo summa fussilat mil ladun Hakeemin Khabeer

1.Alif-Lãm-Ra. ˹This is˺ a Book whose verses are well perfected and then fully explained. ˹It is˺ from the One ˹Who is˺ All-Wise, All-Aware.

[00:25.00]

اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلَّا اللّٰهَ‌ ؕ اِنَّنِىْ لَكُمْ مِّنْهُ نَذِيْرٌ وَّبَشِيْرٌ ۙ‏﴿2﴾‏

2.Allaa ta’budooo illal laah; innanee lakum minhu nazeerunw wa basheer

2.˹Tell them, O Prophet,˺ “Worship none but Allah. Surely I am a warner and deliverer of good news to you from Him.

[00:41.00]

وَّاَنِ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَيْهِ يُمَتِّعْكُمْ مَّتَاعًا حَسَنًا اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَ يُؤْتِ كُلَّ ذِىْ فَضْلٍ فَضْلَهٗ ‌ؕ وَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاِنِّىْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ كَبِيْرٍ‏﴿3﴾‏

3.Wa anis taghfiroo Rabbakum summa toobooo ilaihi yumatti’kum mataa’an hasanan ilaaa ajalim musammanw wa yu’ti kulla zee fadlin fadlahoo wa in tawallaw fa inneee akhaafu ‘alaikum ‘azaaba Yawmin Kabeer

3.And seek your Lord’s forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. He will grant you a good provision for an appointed term and graciously reward the doers of good. But if you turn away, then I truly fear for you the torment of a formidable Day.

[01:17.00]

اِلَى اللّٰهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ‌ۚ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ‏﴿4﴾‏

4.Ilal laahi marji’ukum wa Huwa ‘alaa kulli shai’in Qadeer

4.To Allah is your return. And He is Most Capable of everything.”

[01:26.00]

اَلَاۤ اِنَّهُمْ يَثْنُوْنَ صُدُوْرَهُمْ لِيَسْتَخْفُوْا مِنْهُ‌ؕ اَلَا حِيْنَ يَسْتَغْشُوْنَ ثِيَابَهُمْۙ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّوْنَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُوْنَ‌ۚ اِنَّهٗ عَلِيْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ‏﴿5﴾‏

5.Alaa innahum yasnoona sudoorahum liyastakhfoo minh; alaa heena yastaghshoona siyaabahum ya’lamu maa yusirroona wa maa yu’linoon; innahoo ‘aleemun bizaatis sudoor (End Juz 11)

5.Indeed, they1 enfold ˹what is in˺ their hearts, ˹trying˺ to hide it from Him! But even when they cover themselves with their clothes, He knows what they conceal and what they reveal. Surely He knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart.

[01:55.00]

وَمَا مِنْ دَآ بَّةٍ فِى الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا عَلَى اللّٰهِ رِزْقُهَا وَ يَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا‌ؕ كُلٌّ فِیْ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِيْنٍ‏﴿6﴾‏

6.Wa maa min daaabbatin fil ardi illaa ‘alal laahi rizquhaa wa ya’lamu mustaqarrahaa wa mustawda’ahaa; kullun fee Kitaabim Mubeen

6.There is no moving creature on earth whose provision is not guaranteed by Allah. And He knows where it lives and where it is laid to rest. All is ˹written˺ in a perfect Record.1

[02:20.00]

وَ هُوَ الَّذِىْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ فِیْ سِتَّةِ ا يَّامٍ وَّكَانَ عَرْشُهٗ عَلَى الْمَآءِ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ اَيُّكُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ؕ وَلَئِنْ قُلْتَ اِنَّكُمْ مَّبْعُوْثُوْنَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ الْمَوْتِ لَيَقُوْلَنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ‏﴿7﴾‏

7.Wa Huwal lazee khalaqas samaawaati wal arda fee sittati aiyaaminw wa kaana ‘Arshuhoo alal maaa’i liyabluwakum aiyukum ahsanu ‘amalaa; wa la’in qulta innakum mab’oosoona min ba’dil mawti la yaqoolannal lazeena kafaroo in haazaaa illaa sihrum mubeen

7.He is the One Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days1—and His Throne was upon the waters—in order to test which of you is best in deeds. And if you ˹O Prophet˺ say, “Surely you will ˹all˺ be raised up after death,” the disbelievers will certainly say, “That is nothing but pure magic!”

[03:07.00]

وَلَئِنْ اَخَّرْنَا عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ اِلٰٓى اُمَّةٍ مَّعْدُوْدَةٍ لَّيَقُوْلُنَّ مَا يَحْبِسُهٗؕ اَلَا يَوْمَ يَاْتِيْهِمْ لَيْسَ مَصْرُوْفًا عَنْهُمْ وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ۠ ‏﴿8﴾‏

8.Wala’in akharnaa ‘anhumul ‘azaaba ilaaa ummatim ma’doodatil la yaqoolunna maa yahbisuh; alaa yawma ya’teehim laisa masroofan ‘anhum wa haaqa bihim maa kaanoo bihee yastahzi’oon (section 1)

8.And if We delay their punishment until an appointed time, they will definitely say, “What is holding it back?” Indeed, on the Day it overtakes them, it will not be averted from them, and they will be overwhelmed by what they used to ridicule.

[03:36.00]

وَلَئِنْ اَذَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعْنٰهَا مِنْهُ‌ۚ اِنَّهٗ لَيَئُوْسٌ كَفُوْرٌ‏﴿9﴾‏

9.Wa la’in azaqnal insaana minnaa rahmatan summa naza’naahaa minhu, innahoo laya’oosun kafoor

9.If We give people a taste of Our mercy then take it away from them, they become utterly desperate, ungrateful.

[03:53.00]

وَلَئِنْ اَذَقْنٰهُ نَعْمَآءَ بَعْدَ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُوْلَنَّ ذَهَبَ السَّيِّاٰتُ عَنِّىْ‌ ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَفَرِحٌ فَخُوْرٌۙ‏﴿10﴾‏

10.Wala’in azaqnaahu na’maaa’a ba’da darraaa’a massat hu la yaqoolanna zahabas saiyiaatu ‘anneee; innahoo lafarihun fakhoor

10.But if We give them a taste of prosperity after being touched with adversity, they say, “My ills are gone,” and become totally prideful and boastful,

[04:16.00]

اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ صَبَرُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِؕ اُولٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّاَجْرٌ كَبِيْرٌ‏﴿11﴾‏

11.Illal lazeena sabaroo wa ‘amilus saalihaati ulaaa’ika lahum maghfiratunw wa ajrun kabeer

11.except those who patiently endure and do good. It is they who will have forgiveness and a mighty reward.

[04:31.00]

فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكٌۢ بَعْضَ مَا يُوْحٰٓى اِلَيْكَ وَضَآئِقٌ ۢ بِهٖ صَدْرُكَ اَنْ يَّقُوْلُوْا لَوْلَاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ كَنْزٌ اَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهٗ مَلَكٌ‌ ؕ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ نَذِيْرٌ‌ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَّكِيْلٌ ؕ‏﴿12﴾‏

12.Fala’allaka taarikum ba’da maa yoohaaa ilaika wa daaa’iqum bihee sadruka ai yaqooloo law laaa unzila ‘alaihi kanzun aw jaaa’a ma’ahoo malak; innamaa anta nazeer; wallaahu ‘alaa kulli shai’inw wakeel

12.Perhaps you ˹O Prophet˺ may wish to give up some of what is revealed to you and may be distressed by it because they say, “If only a treasure had been sent down to him, or an angel had come with him!” You are only a warner, and Allah is the Trustee of All Affairs.

[05:15.00]

اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰٮهُ‌ ؕ قُلْ فَاْتُوْا بِعَشْرِ سُوَرٍ مِّثْلِهٖ مُفْتَرَيٰتٍ وَّ ادْعُوْا مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ‏﴿13﴾‏

13.Am yaqooloonaf taraahu qul faatoo bi’ashri Suwarim mislihee muftarayaatinw wad’oo manis tata’tum min doonil laahi in kuntum saadiqeen

13.Or do they say, “He1 has fabricated this ˹Quran˺!”? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Produce ten fabricated sûrahs like it and seek help from whoever you can—other than Allah—if what you say is true!”

[05:41.00]

فَاِلَّمْ يَسْتَجِيْبُوْا لَكُمْ فَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ بِعِلْمِ اللّٰهِ وَاَنْ لَّاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ‌ۚ فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ‏﴿14﴾‏

14.Fa il lam yastajeeboo lakum fa’lamooo annamaaa unzilla bi’ilmil laahi wa al laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa fahal antum muslimoon

14.But if your helpers fail you, then know that it has been revealed with the knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him! Will you ˹not˺ then submit ˹to Allah˺?

[06:05.00]

مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيْدُ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَا وَ زِيْنَتَهَا نُوَفِّ اِلَيْهِمْ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فِيْهَا وَهُمْ فِيْهَا لَا يُبْخَسُوْنَ‏﴿15﴾‏

15.Man kaana yureedul hayaatad dunyaa wa zeenatahaa nuwaffi ilaihim a’maa lahum feehaa wa hum feehaa laa yubkhasoon

15.Whoever desires ˹only˺ this worldly life and its luxuries, We will pay them in full for their deeds in this life—nothing will be left out.

[06:28.00]

اُولٰٓئِكَ الَّذِيْنَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ فِیْ الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا النَّارُ‌ ‌ۖ ؗ وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُوْا فِيْهَا وَبٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ‏﴿16﴾‏

16.Ulaaa’ikal lazeena laisa lahum fil Aakhirati illan Naaru wa habita maa sana’oo feehaa wa baatilum maa kaanoo ya’maloon

16.It is they who will have nothing in the Hereafter except the Fire. Their efforts in this life will be fruitless and their deeds will be useless.

[06:50.00]

اَفَمَنْ كَانَ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ وَيَتْلُوْهُ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْهُ وَمِنْ قَبْلِهٖ كِتٰبُ مُوْسٰٓى اِمَامًا وَّرَحْمَةً‌  ؕ اُولٰٓئِكَ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖ‌ ؕ وَمَنْ يَّكْفُرْ بِهٖ مِنَ الْاَحْزَابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهٗ‌ ۚ فَلَا تَكُ فِیْ مِرْيَةٍ مِّنْهُ‌ۗ اِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ‏﴿17﴾‏

17.Afaman kaana ‘ala baiyinatim mir Rabbihee wa yatloohu shaahidum minhu wa min qablihee Kitaabu Moosaaa imaamanw wa rahmah; ulaaa ‘ika yu’minoona bih; wa mai yakfur bihee minal Ahzaabi fan Naaru maw’iduh; falaa taku fee miryatim minh; innahul haqqu mir Rabbika wa laakinna aksaran naasi laa yu’minoon

17.˹Can these people be compared to˺ those ˹believers˺ who stand on clear proof from their Lord, backed by ˹the Quran as˺ a witness from Him, and preceded by the Book of Moses ˹which was revealed˺ as a guide and mercy? It is those ˹believers˺ who have faith in it. But whoever from the ˹disbelieving˺ groups rejects it, the Fire will be their destiny. So do not be in doubt of it. It is certainly the truth from your Lord, but most people do not believe.

[07:40.00]

وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا‌ ؕ اُولٰٓئِكَ يُعْرَضُوْنَ عَلٰى رَبِّهِمْ وَ يَقُوْلُ الْاَشْهَادُ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَبُوْا عَلٰى رَبِّهِمْ‌ ۚ اَلَا لَعْنَةُ اللّٰهِ عَلَى الظّٰلِمِيْنَۙ‏﴿18﴾‏

18.Wa man azlamu mimmanif taraa ‘alal laahi kazibaa; ulaaa’ika yu’radoona ‘alaa Rabbihim wa yaqoolul ashhaa duhaaa’ulaaa’il lazeena kazaboo ‘alaa Rabbihim; alaa la’natul laahi alaz zaalimeen

18.Who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah? They will be brought before their Lord, and the witnesses1 will say, “These are the ones who lied against their Lord.” Surely Allah’s condemnation is upon the wrongdoers,

[08:10.00]

الَّذِيْنَ يَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ وَيَبْغُوْنَهَا عِوَجًا ؕ وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ‏﴿19﴾‏

19.Allazeena yasuddoona ‘an sabeelil laahi wa yabghoonahaa ‘iwajanw wa hum bil Aakhiratihum kaafiroon

19.who hinder ˹others˺ from Allah’s Path, striving to make it ˹appear˺ crooked, and disbelieve in the Hereafter.

[08:26.00]

اُولٰٓئِكَ لَمْ يَكُوْنُوْا مُعْجِزِيْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ اَوْلِيَآءَ‌ ۘ يُضٰعَفُ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ‌ ؕ مَا كَانُوْا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ السَّمْعَ وَمَا كَانُوْا يُبْصِرُوْنَ‏﴿20﴾‏

20.Ulaaa’ika lam yakoonoo mu’jizeena fil ardi wa maa kaana lahum min doonil laahi min awliyaaa’; yudaa’afu lahumul ‘azaab; maa kaanoo yastatee’oonas sam’a wa maa kaanoo yubsiroon

20.They will never frustrate Allah on earth, and they will have no protector besides Allah. Their punishment will be multiplied, for they failed to hear or see ˹the truth˺.

[08:56.00]

اُولٰٓئِكَ الَّذِيْنَ خَسِرُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يَفْتَرُوْنَ‏﴿21﴾‏

21.Ulaaa’ikal lazeena khasirooo anfusahum wa dalla ‘anhum maa kaanoo yaftaroon

21.It is they who have ruined themselves, and whatever ˹gods˺ they fabricated will fail them.

[09:13.00]

لَا جَرَمَ ا نَّهُمْ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ هُمُ الْاَخْسَرُوْنَ‏﴿22﴾‏

22.Laa jarama annahum fil Aakhirati humul akhsaroon

22.Without a doubt, they will be the worst losers in the Hereafter.

[09:21.00]

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَاَخْبَتُوْۤا اِلٰى رَبِّهِمْۙ اُولٰٓئِكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِ‌ؕ هُمْ فِيْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ‏﴿23﴾‏

23.Innal lazeena aamanoo wa ‘amilus saalihaati wa akhbatooo ilaa Rabbihim ulaaa’ika Ashaabul Jannati hum feehaa khaalidoon

23.Surely those who believe, do good, and humble themselves before their Lord will be the residents of Paradise. They will be there forever.

[09:43.00]

مَثَلُ الْفَرِيْقَيْنِ كَالْاَعْمٰى وَالْاَصَمِّ وَالْبَصِيْرِ وَالسَّمِيْعِ‌ ؕ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيٰنِ مَثَلًا‌ ؕ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ۠ ‏﴿24﴾‏

24.Masalul fareeqaini kal a’maa wal asammi walbaseeri wassamee’; hal yastawiyaani masalaa; afalaa tazakkaroon (section 2)

24.The example of these two parties is that of the blind and the deaf, compared to the seeing and the hearing. Can the two be equal? Will you not then be mindful?

[10:02.00]

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰى قَوْمِهٖۤؗ اِنِّىْ لَكُمْ نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌۙ‏﴿25﴾‏

25.Wa laqad arsalnaa Noohan ilaa qawmihee innee lakum nazeerum mubeen

25.Surely We sent Noah to his people. ˹He said,˺ “Indeed, I am sent to you with a clear warning

[10:14.00]

اَنْ لَّا تَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلَّا اللّٰهَ‌ؕ اِنِّىْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ اَلِيْمٍ‏﴿26﴾‏

26.Al laa ta’budooo illal laaha inneee akhaafu ‘alaikum ‘azaaba Yawmin aleem

26.that you should worship none but Allah. I truly fear for you the torment of a painful Day.”

[10:30.00]

فَقَالَ الْمَلَاُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖ مَا نَرٰٮكَ اِلَّا بَشَرًا مِّثْلَنَا وَمَا نَرٰٮكَ اتَّبَعَكَ اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ اَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِىَ الرَّاْىِ‌ۚ وَمَا نَرٰى لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ فَضْلٍۢ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كٰذِبِيْنَ‏﴿27﴾‏

27.Faqaalal mala ul lazeena kafaroo min qawmihee ma naraaka illaa basharam mislanaa wa maa naraakat taba’aka illal lazeena hum araazilunaa baadiyar raayi wa maa naraa lakum ‘alainaa min fadlim bal nazunnukum kaazibeen

27.The disbelieving chiefs of his people said, “We see you only as a human being like ourselves, and we see that no one follows you except the lowliest among us, who do so ˹hastily˺ without thinking.1 We do not see anything that makes ˹all of˺ you any better than us. In fact, we think you are liars.”

[11:05.00]

قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّىْ وَاٰتٰٮنِىْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِهٖ فَعُمِّيَتْ عَلَيْكُمْؕ اَنُلْزِمُكُمُوْهَا وَاَنْتُمْ لَهَا كٰرِهُوْنَ‏﴿28﴾‏

28.Qaala yaa qawmi ara’aitum in kuntu ‘alaa baiyinatim mir Rabbee wa aataanee rahmatam min ‘indihee fa’um miyat ‘alaikum anulzimuku moohaa wa antum lahaa kaarihoon

28.He said, “O my people! Consider if I stand on a clear proof from my Lord and He has blessed me with a mercy from Himself,1 which you fail to see. Should we ˹then˺ force it on you against your will?

[11:36.00]

وَيٰقَوْمِ لَاۤ اَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مَالًا ؕاِنْ اَجْرِىَ اِلَّا عَلَى اللّٰهِ‌ وَمَاۤ اَنَا بِطَارِدِ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا‌ ؕ اِنَّهُمْ مُّلٰقُوْا رَبِّهِمْ وَلٰكِنِّىْۤ اَرٰٮكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُوْنَ‏﴿29﴾‏

29.Wa yaa qawmi laaa as’alukum ‘alaihi maalan in ajriya illaa ‘alal laah; wa maaa ana bitaaridil lazeena aamanoo; innahum mulaaqoo Rabbihim wa laakinneee araakum qawman tajhaloon

29.O my people! I do not ask you for a payment for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from Allah. And I will never dismiss the believers, for they will surely meet their Lord. But I can see that you are a people acting ignorantly.

[12:10.00]

وَيٰقَوْمِ مَنْ يَّنْصُرُنِىْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنْ طَرَدتُّهُمْ‌ؕ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ‏﴿30﴾‏

30.Wa yaa qawmi mai yansurunee minal laahi in tarattuhum; afalaa tazak karoon

30.O my people! Who would protect me from Allah if I were to dismiss them? Will you not then be mindful?

[12:24.00]

وَلَاۤ اَقُوْلُ لَكُمْ عِنْدِىْ خَزَآئِنُ اللّٰهِ وَلَاۤ اَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ وَلَاۤ اَقُوْلُ اِنِّىْ مَلَكٌ وَّلَاۤ اَقُوْلُ لِلَّذِيْنَ تَزْدَرِىْۤ اَعْيُنُكُمْ لَنْ يُّؤْتِيَهُمُ اللّٰهُ خَيْرًا‌ ؕ اَللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْ‌ ۖۚ اِنِّىْۤ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ‏﴿31﴾‏

31.Wa laa aqoolu lakum ‘indee khazaa’inul laahi wa laaa a’lamul ghaiba wa laa aqoolu inee malakunw wa laaa aqoolu lillazeena tazdareee a’yunukum lai yu’tiyahumul laahu khairan Allaahu a’lamu bimaa feee anfusihim innee izal laminaz zaalimeen

31.I do not say to you that I possess Allah’s treasuries or know the unseen, nor do I claim to be an angel, nor do I say that Allah will never grant goodness to those you look down upon. Allah knows best what is ˹hidden˺ within them. ˹If I did,˺ then I would truly be one of the wrongdoers.”

[13:09.00]

قَالُوْا يٰنُوْحُ قَدْ جَادَلْتَنَا فَاَكْثَرْتَ جِدَالَنَا فَاْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ‏ ‏﴿32﴾‏

32.Qaaloo yaa Noohu qad jaadaltanaa fa aksarta jidaalanaa faatinaa bimaa ta’idunaaa in kunta minas saadiqeen

32.They protested, “O Noah! You have argued with us far too much, so bring upon us what you threaten us with, if what you say is true.”

[13:30.00]

قَالَ اِنَّمَا يَاْتِيْكُمْ بِهِ اللّٰهُ اِنْ شَآءَ وَمَاۤ اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِيْنَ‏﴿33﴾‏

33.Qaala innamaa yaateekum bihil laahu in shaaa’a wa maaa antum bimu’jizeen

33.He responded, “It is Allah Who can bring it upon you if He wills, and then you will have no escape!

[13:47.00]

وَلَا يَنْفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِىْۤ اِنْ اَرَدْتُّ اَنْ اَنْصَحَ لَكُمْ اِنْ كَانَ اللّٰهُ يُرِيْدُ اَنْ يُّغْوِيَكُمْ‌ؕ هُوَ رَبُّكُمْ وَاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَؕ‏﴿34﴾‏

34.Wa laa yanfa’ukum nusheee in arattu an ansaha lakum in kaanal laahu yureedu ai yughwi yakum; Huwa Rabbukum wa ilaihi turja’oon

34.My advice will not benefit you—no matter how hard I try—if Allah wills ˹for˺ you to stray. He is your Lord, and to Him you will ˹all˺ be returned.”

[14:09.00]

اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰٮهُ‌ ؕ قُلْ اِنِ افْتَرَيْتُهٗ فَعَلَىَّ اِجْرَامِىْ وَاَنَا بَرِىْٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُجْرِمُوْنَ۠ ‏﴿35﴾‏

35.Am yaqooloonaf taraahu qul inif taraituhoo fa’alaiya ijraamee wa ana bareee’um mimmaa tujrimoon (section 3)

35.Or do they say, “He1 has fabricated this ˹Quran˺!”? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If I have done so, then I bear the burden of that sin! But I am free from your sinful accusation.”

[14:29.00]

وَاُوْحِىَ اِلٰى نُوْحٍ اَنَّهٗ لَنْ يُّؤْمِنَ مِنْ قَوْمِكَ اِلَّا مَنْ قَدْ اٰمَنَ فَلَا تَبْتَئِسْ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَفْعَلُوْنَ‌ ۖ ‌ ۚ‏﴿36﴾‏

36.Wa oohiya ilaa Noohin annahoo lany-yu’mina min qawmika illaa man qad aamana falaa tabta’is bimaa kaanoo yaf’aloon

36.And it was revealed to Noah, “None of your people will believe except those who already have. So do not be distressed by what they have been doing.

[14:56.00]

وَاصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِاَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا وَلَا تُخَاطِبْنِىْ فِى الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا‌ ۚ اِنَّهُمْ مُّغْرَقُوْنَ‏﴿37﴾‏

37.Wasna’il fulka bi-a’yuninaa wa wahyinaa wa laa tukhaa tibnee fil lazeena zalamoo; innahum mughraqoon

37.And build the Ark under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes and directions, and do not plead with Me for those who have done wrong, for they will surely be drowned.”

[15:12.00]

وَيَصْنَعُ الْفُلْكَ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ مَلَاٌ مِّنْ قَوْمِهٖ سَخِرُوْا مِنْهُ‌ؕ قَالَ اِنْ تَسْخَرُوْا مِنَّا فَاِنَّا نَسْخَرُ مِنْكُمْ كَمَا تَسْخَرُوْنَؕ‏﴿38﴾‏

38.Wa yasna’ul fulka wa kullamaa marra ‘alaihi mala’um min qawmihee sakhiroo minh; qaala in taskharoo minnaa fa innaa naskharu minkum kamaa taskharoon

38.So he began to build the Ark, and whenever some of the chiefs of his people passed by, they mocked him. He said, “If you laugh at us, we will ˹soon˺ laugh at you similarly.

[15:35.00]

فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَۙ مَنْ يَّاْتِيْهِ عَذَابٌ يُّخْزِيْهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيْمٌ‏﴿39﴾‏

39.Fasawfa ta’lamoona mai ya’teehi ‘azaabuny yukhzeehi wa yahillu ‘alaihi ‘azaabun muqeem

39.You will soon come to know who will be visited by a humiliating torment ˹in this life˺ and overwhelmed by an everlasting punishment ˹in the next˺.”

[15:50.00]

حَتّٰۤى اِذَا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّوْرُۙ قُلْنَا احْمِلْ فِيْهَا مِنْ كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَاَهْلَكَ اِلَّا مَنْ سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلُ وَمَنْ اٰمَنَ‌ؕ وَمَاۤ اٰمَنَ مَعَهٗۤ اِلَّا قَلِيْلٌ‏﴿40﴾‏

40.Hattaaa izaa jaaa’a amrunaa wa faarat tannooru qulnah mil feehaa min kullin zawjainis naini wa ahlaka illaa man sabaqa ‘alaihil qawlu wa man aaman; wa maaa aamana ma’ahooo illaa qaleel

40.And when Our command came and the oven burst ˹with water˺,1 We said ˹to Noah˺, “Take into the Ark a pair from every species along with your family—except those against whom the decree ˹to drown˺ has already been passed—and those who believe.” But none believed with him except for a few.

[16:31.00]

وَقَالَ ارْكَبُوْا فِيْهَا بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ مَجْرَاھَا وَمُرْسٰٮهَا ‌ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّىْ لَغَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ ‏﴿41﴾‏

41.Wa qaalar kaboo feehaa bismil laahi majraihaa wa mursaahaa; inna Rabbee la Ghafoorur Raheem

41.And he said, “Board it! In the Name of Allah it will sail and cast anchor. Surely my Lord is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

[16:46.00]

وَهِىَ تَجْرِىْ بِهِمْ فِیْ مَوْجٍ كَالْجِبَالِ وَنَادٰى نُوْحُ ۟ابْنَهٗ وَكَانَ فِیْ مَعْزِلٍ يّٰبُنَىَّ ارْكَبْ مَّعَنَا وَلَا تَكُنْ مَّعَ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ‏﴿42﴾‏

42.Wa hiya tajree bihim fee mawjin kaljibaali wa naadaa Noohunib nahoo wa kaana fee ma’ziliny yaa bunai yarkam ma’anaa wa laa takum ma’al kaafireen

42.And ˹so˺ the Ark sailed with them through waves like mountains. Noah called out to his son, who stood apart, “O my dear son! Come aboard with us and do not be with the disbelievers.”

[17:11.00]

قَالَ سَاٰوِىْۤ اِلٰى جَبَلٍ يَّعْصِمُنِىْ مِنَ الْمَآءِ‌ؕ قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ اَمْرِ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَ‌ۚ وَحَالَ بَيْنَهُمَا الْمَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُغْرَقِيْنَ‏﴿43﴾‏

43.Qaala sa aaweee ilaa jabaliny ya’simunee minal maaa’; qaala laa ‘aasimal yawma min amril laahi illaa mar rahim; wa haala bainahumal mawju fakaana minal mughraqeen

43.He replied, “I will take refuge on a mountain, which will protect me from the water.” Noah cried, “Today no one is protected from Allah’s decree except those to whom He shows mercy!” And the waves came between them, and his son was among the drowned.

[17:38.00]

وَقِيْلَ يٰۤاَرْضُ ابْلَعِىْ مَآءَكِ وَيٰسَمَآءُ اَقْلِعِىْ وَغِيْضَ الْمَآءُ وَقُضِىَ الْاَمْرُ وَاسْتَوَتْ عَلَى الْجُوْدِىِّ‌ وَقِيْلَ بُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ‏﴿44﴾‏

44.Wa qeela yaaa ardubla’ee maaa’aki wa yaa samaaa’u aqli’ee wa gheedal maaa’u wa qudiyal amru wastawat ‘alal joodiyyi wa qeela bu’dal lilqawmiz zaalimeen

44.And it was said, “O earth! Swallow up your water. And O sky! Withhold ˹your rain˺.” The floodwater receded and the decree was carried out. The Ark rested on Mount Judi, and it was said, “Away with the wrongdoing people!”

[18:06.00]

وَنَادٰى نُوْحٌ رَّبَّهٗ فَقَالَ رَبِّ اِنَّ ابْنِىْ مِنْ اَهْلِىْ وَاِنَّ وَعْدَكَ الْحَقُّ وَاَنْتَ اَحْكَمُ الْحٰكِمِيْنَ‏﴿45﴾‏

45.Wa naadaa noohur Rabbahoo faqaala Rabbi innabnee min ahlee wa inna wa’dakal haqqu wa Anta ahkamul haakimeen

45.Noah called out to his Lord, saying, “My Lord! Certainly my son is ˹also˺ of my family, Your promise is surely true, and You are the most just of all judges!”

[18:27.00]

قَالَ يٰنُوْحُ اِنَّهٗ لَيْسَ مِنْ اَهْلِكَ ‌ۚاِنَّهٗ عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ صَالِحٍ ‌‌ۖۗ ؗ فَلَا تَسْئَلْنِ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ‌ ؕ اِنِّىْۤ اَعِظُكَ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْجٰهِلِيْنَ‏﴿46﴾‏

46.Qaala yaa Noohu innahoo laisa min ahlika innahoo ‘amalun ghairu saalihin falaa tas’alni maa laisa laka bihee ‘ilmun inneee a’izuka an takoona minal jaahileen

46.Allah replied, “O Noah! He is certainly not of your family—he was entirely of unrighteous conduct. So do not ask Me about what you have no knowledge of! I warn you so you do not fall into ignorance.”

[18:52.00]

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّىْۤ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ اَنْ اَسْئَلَكَ مَا لَيْسَ لِىْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ‌ؕ وَاِلَّا تَغْفِرْ لِىْ وَتَرْحَمْنِىْۤ اَكُنْ مِّنَ الْخٰسِرِيْنَ‏﴿47﴾‏

47.Qaala rabbi inneee a’oozu bika an as’alaka maa laisa lee bihee ‘ilmunw wa illaa taghfir lee wa tarhamneee akum minal khaasireen

47.Noah pleaded, “My Lord, I seek refuge in You from asking You about what I have no knowledge of, and unless You forgive me and have mercy on me, I will be one of the losers.”

[19:15.00]

قِيْلَ يٰنُوْحُ اهْبِطْ بِسَلٰمٍ مِّنَّا وَبَرَكٰتٍ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلٰٓى اُمَمٍ مِّمَّنْ مَّعَكَ‌ؕ وَاُمَمٌ سَنُمَتِّعُهُمْ ثُمَّ يَمَسُّهُمْ مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ‏﴿48﴾‏

48.Qeela yaa Noohuh bit bisalaamim minnaa wa barakaatin ‘alaika wa ‘alaaa umamim mimmam ma’ak; wa umamun sanumatti’uhum summa yamassuhum minna ‘azaabun aleem

48.It was said, “O Noah! Disembark with Our peace and blessings on you and some of the descendants of those with you. As for the others, We will allow them ˹a brief˺ enjoyment, then they will be touched with a painful punishment from Us.”

[19:44.00]

تِلْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ الْغَيْبِ نُوْحِيْهَاۤ اِلَيْكَ‌ۚ مَا كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُهَاۤ اَنْتَ وَلَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ هٰذَا‌ ‌ۛؕ فَاصْبِرْ‌ ‌ۛؕ اِنَّ الْعَاقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَ۠ ‏﴿49﴾‏

49.Tilka min ambaaa’il ghaibi nooheehaaa ilaika maa kunta ta’lamuhaaaa anta wa laa qawmuka min qabli haazaa fasbir innal ‘aaqibata lilmuttaqeen (section 4)

49.This is one of the stories of the unseen, which we reveal to you ˹O Prophet˺. Neither you nor your people knew it before this. So be patient! Surely the ultimate outcome belongs ˹only˺ to the righteous.

[20:15.00]

وَاِلٰى عَادٍ اَخَاهُمْ هُوْدًا‌ ؕ قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗ‌ ؕ اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا مُفْتَرُوْنَ‏﴿50﴾‏

50.Wa ilaa ‘aadin akhaahum Hoodaa; qaala yaa qawmi’ budul laaha maa lakum min ilaahin ghairuhooo in antum illaa muftaroon

50.And to the people of ’Âd We sent their brother Hûd. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah. You have no god other than Him. You do nothing but fabricate lies ˹against Allah˺.

[20:34.00]

يٰقَوْمِ لَاۤ اَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ اَجْرًا‌ ؕ اِنْ اَجْرِىَ اِلَّا عَلَى الَّذِىْ فَطَرَنِىْ ؕ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ‏﴿51﴾‏

51.Yaa qawmi laaa as’alukum ‘alaihi ajran in ajriya illaa ‘alal lazee fataranee; afalaa ta’qiloon

51.O my people! I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the One Who created me. Will you not then understand?

[20:51.00]

وَيٰقَوْمِ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَيْهِ يُرْسِلِ السَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّدْرَارًا وَّيَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّةً اِلٰى قُوَّتِكُمْ وَلَا تَتَوَلَّوْا مُجْرِمِيْنَ‏﴿52﴾‏

52.Wa yaa qawmis taghfiroo Rabbakum summa toobooo ilaihi yursilis samaaa’a ‘alaikum midraaranw wa yazidkum quwwatan ilaa quwwatikum wa laa tatawallaw mujrimeen

52.And O my people! Seek your Lord’s forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. He will shower you with rain in abundance, and add strength to your strength. So do not turn away, persisting in wickedness.”

[21:22.00]

قَالُوْا يٰهُوْدُ مَا جِئْتَنَا بِبَيِّنَةٍ وَّمَا نَحْنُ بِتٰرِكِىْۤ اٰلِهَتِنَا عَنْ قَوْلِكَ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِيْنَ‏﴿53﴾‏

53.Qaaloo yaa Hoodu maa ji’tanaa bibaiyinatinw wa maa nahnu bitaarikeee aalihatinaa ‘an qawlika wa maa nahnu laka bimu’mineen

53.They argued, “O Hûd! You have not given us any clear proof, and we will never abandon our gods upon your word, nor will we believe in you.

[21:49.00]

اِنْ نَّقُوْلُ اِلَّا اعْتَرٰٮكَ بَعْضُ اٰلِهَتِنَا بِسُوْٓءٍ‌ ؕ قَالَ اِنِّىْۤ اُشْهِدُ اللّٰهَ وَاشْهَدُوْۤا اَنِّىْ بَرِىْٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُوْنَ ۙ‏﴿54﴾‏

54.In naqoolu illa’ taraaka ba’du aalihatinaa bisooo’; qaala inneee ushhidul laaha wash hadooo annee bareee’um mimmaa tushrikoon

54.All we can say is that some of our gods have possessed you with evil.” He said, “I call Allah to witness, and you too bear witness, that I ˹totally˺ reject whatever you associate

[22:17.00]

مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ‌ فَكِيْدُوْنِىْ جَمِيْعًا ثُمَّ لَا تُنْظِرُوْنِ‏﴿55﴾‏

55.Min doonihee fakeedoonee jamee’an summa laa tunziroon

55.with Him ˹in worship˺. So let all of you plot against me without delay!

[22:29.00]

اِنِّىْ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللّٰهِ رَبِّىْ وَرَبِّكُمْ ‌ؕ مَا مِنْ دَآبَّةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ اٰخِذٌ ۢ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّىْ عَلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ‏﴿56﴾‏

56.Innee tawakkaltu ‘alallaahi Rabbee wa Rabbikum; maa min daaabbatin illaa Huwa aakhizum binaasiyatihaa; inna Rabbee ‘alaa Siraatim mustaqeem

56.I have put my trust in Allah—my Lord and your Lord. There is no living creature that is not completely under His control.1 Surely my Lord’s Way is perfect justice.2

[22:56.00]

فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقَدْ اَبْلَغْتُكُمْ مَّاۤ اُرْسِلْتُ بِهٖۤ اِلَيْكُمْ‌ ؕ وَيَسْتَخْلِفُ رَبِّىْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْۚ وَلَا تَضُرُّوْنَهٗ شَيْئًا‌ ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّىْ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَفِيْظٌ‏﴿57﴾‏

57.Fa in tawallaw faqad ablaghtukum maaa ursiltu biheee ilaikum; wa yastakhlifu Rabbee qawman ghairakum wa laa tadur roonahoo shai’aa; inna Rabbee ‘alaa kulli shai’in Hafeez

57.But if you turn away, I have already delivered to you what I have been sent with. My Lord will replace you with others. You are not harming Him in the least. Indeed, my Lord is a ˹vigilant˺ Keeper over all things.”

[23:24.00]

وَ لَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا هُوْدًا وَّالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا ۚ وَ نَجَّيْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِيْظٍ‏﴿58﴾‏

58.Wa lammaa jaaa’a amrunaa najainaa Hoodanw wallazeena aamanoo ma’ahoo birahmatim minnaa wa najainaahum min ‘azaabin ghaleez

58.When Our command came, We rescued Hûd and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us, saving them from a harsh torment.

[23:49.00]

وَتِلْكَ عَادٌ‌ جَحَدُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَصَوْا رُسُلَهٗ وَاتَّبَعُوْۤا اَمْرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيْدٍ‏﴿59﴾‏

59.Wa tilka ‘aad, jahadoo bi Aayaati Rabbihim wa ‘asaw Rusulahoo wattaba’ooo amra kulli jabbaarin ‘aneed

59.That was ’Âd. They denied the signs of their Lord, disobeyed His messengers, and followed the command of every stubborn tyrant.

[24:07.00]

وَاُتْبِعُوْا فِیْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا لَعْنَةً وَّيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ‌ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ عَادًا كَفَرُوْا رَبَّهُمْ‌ؕ اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّعَادٍ قَوْمِ هُوْدٍ۠ ‏﴿60﴾‏

60.Wa utbi’oo fee haazihid dunyaa la’natanw wa Yawmal Qiyaamah; alaaa inna ‘Aadan kafaroo Rabbahum; alaa bu’dal li ‘Aadin qawmin Hood (section 5)

60.They were followed by a curse in this world, as they will be on the Day of Judgment. Surely ’Âd denied their Lord. So away with ’Âd, the people of Hûd.

[24:33.00]

‌وَاِلٰى ثَمُوْدَ اَخَاهُمْ صٰلِحًا‌ۘ قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗ‌ ؕ هُوَ اَنْشَاَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ وَاسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِيْهَا فَاسْتَغْفِرُوْهُ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَيْهِ‌ ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّىْ قَرِيْبٌ مُّجِيْبٌ‏﴿61﴾‏

61.Wa ilaa Samooda akhaahum Saalihaa; qaala yaa qawmi’ budul laaha maa lakum min ilaahim ghairuhoo Huwa ansha akum minal ardi wasta’ marakum feehaa fastaghfiroohu summa toobooo ilaih; inna Rabbee Qareebum Mujeeb

61.And to the people of Thamûd We sent their brother Ṣâliḥ. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah. You have no god other than Him. He ˹is the One Who˺ produced you from the earth and settled you on it. So seek His forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. Surely my Lord is Ever Near, All-Responsive ˹to prayers˺.”

[25:09.00]

قَالُوْا يٰصٰلِحُ قَدْ كُنْتَ فِيْنَا مَرْجُوًّا قَبْلَ هٰذَآ‌ اَتَنْهٰٮنَاۤ اَنْ نَّعْبُدَ مَا يَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَا وَاِنَّنَا لَفِیْ شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدْعُوْنَاۤ اِلَيْهِ مُرِيْبٍ‏﴿62﴾‏

62.Qaaloo yaa Saalihu qad kunta feenaa marjuwwan qabla haazaaa atanhaanaaa an na’bu da maa ya’budu aabaaa’unaa wa innanaa lafee shakkim mimmaa tad’oonaaa ilaihi mureeb

62.They argued, “O Ṣâliḥ! We truly had high hopes in you before this.1 How dare you forbid us to worship what our forefathers had worshipped? We are certainly in alarming doubt about what you are inviting us to.”

[25:39.00]

قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّىْ وَاٰتٰٮنِىْ مِنْهُ رَحْمَةً فَمَنْ يَّنْصُرُنِىْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنْ عَصَيْتُهٗ‌ فَمَا تَزِيْدُوْنَنِىْ غَيْرَ تَخْسِيْرٍ‏﴿63﴾‏

63.Qaala yaa qawmi ara’aytum in kuntu ‘alaa baiyinatim mir Rabbee wa aataanee minhu rahmatan famai yansurunee minal laahi in ‘asaituhoo famaa tazeedoonanee ghaira takhseer

63.He responded, “O my people! Consider if I stand on a clear proof from my Lord and He has blessed me with a mercy from Him. Who could help me against Allah if I were to disobey Him? You would only contribute to my doom.

[26:05.00]

وَيٰقَوْمِ هٰذِهٖ نَاقَةُ اللّٰهِ لَكُمْ اٰيَةً فَذَرُوْهَا تَاْكُلْ فِیْۤ اَرْضِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا تَمَسُّوْهَا بِسُوْٓءٍ فَيَاْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ قَرِيْبٌ‏﴿64﴾‏

64.Wa yaa qawmi haazihee naaqatul laahi lakum aayatan fazaroohaa taakul feee ardil laahi wa laa tamassoohaa bisooo’in fa yaakhuzakum azaabun qareeb

64.And O my people! This she-camel of Allah is a sign for you.1 So leave her to graze ˹freely˺ on Allah’s earth and do her no harm, or a swift punishment will overtake you!”

[26:30.00]

فَعَقَرُوْهَا فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعُوْا فِیْ دَارِكُمْ ثَلٰثَةَ ا يَّامٍ ‌ؕذٰلِكَ وَعْدٌ غَيْرُ مَكْذُوْبٍ‏﴿65﴾‏

65.Fa ‘aqaroohaa faqaala tamatta’oo fee daarikum salaasata aiyaamin zaalika wa’dun ghairu makzoob

65.But they killed her, so he warned ˹them˺, “You have ˹only˺ three ˹more˺ days to enjoy life in your homes—this is an unfailing promise!”

[26:46.00]

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا صٰلِحًا وَّالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَمِنْ خِزْىِ يَوْمِئِذٍ‌ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْقَوِىُّ الْعَزِيْزُ‏﴿66﴾‏

66.Falammaa jaaa’a amrunaa najjainaa Saalihanw wal lazeena aamanoo ma’ahoo birahmatim minnaa wa min khizyi Yawmi’iz inna Rabbaka Huwal Qawiyyul ‘Azeez

66.When Our command came, We saved Ṣâliḥ and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us and spared them the disgrace of that Day. Surely your Lord ˹alone˺ is the All-Powerful, Almighty.

[27:09.00]

وَاَخَذَ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّيْحَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِیْ دِيَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِيْنَۙ‏﴿67﴾‏

67.Wa akhazal lazeena zalamus saihatu fa asbahoo fee diyaarihim jaasimeena

67.And the ˹mighty˺ blast overtook the wrongdoers, so they fell lifeless in their homes,

[27:18.00]

كَاَنْ لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيْهَا‌ ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ ثَمُوْدَاۡ كَفَرُوْا رَبَّهُمْ‌ؕ اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّثَمُوْدَ۠ ‏﴿68﴾‏

68.Ka al lam yaghnaw feehaaa; alaaa inna Samooda kafaroo Rabbahum; alaa bu’dal li Samood. (section 6)

68.as if they had never lived there. Surely Thamûd denied their Lord, so away with Thamûd!

[27:34.00]

وَلَقَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَاۤ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ بِالْبُشْرٰى قَالُوْا سَلٰمًا‌ ؕ قَالَ سَلٰمٌ‌ فَمَا لَبِثَ اَنْ جَآءَ بِعِجْلٍ حَنِيْذٍ‏﴿69﴾‏

69.Wa laqad jaaa’at Rusulunaaa Ibraaheema bilbushraa qaaloo salaaman qaala salaamun famaa labisa an jaaa’a bi’ijlin haneez

69.And surely Our messenger-angels came to Abraham with good news ˹of a son˺. They greeted ˹him with˺, “Peace!” And he replied, “Peace ˹be upon you˺!” Then it was not long before he brought ˹them˺ a ˹fat,˺ roasted calf.

78.And ˹the men of˺ his people—who were used to shameful deeds—came to him rushing. He pleaded, “O my people! Here are my daughters1 ˹for marriage˺—they are pure for you. So fear Allah, and do not humiliate me by disrespecting my guests. Is there not ˹even˺ a single right-minded man among you?”

[31:06.00]

قَالُوْا لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا لَنَا فِیْ بَنٰتِكَ مِنْ حَقٍّ‌ ۚ وَاِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ مَا نُرِيْدُ‏﴿79﴾‏

81.The angels said, “O Lot! We are the messengers of your Lord. They will never reach you. So travel with your family in the dark of night, and do not let any of you look back, except your wife. She will certainly suffer the fate of the others.1 Their appointed time is the morning. Is the morning not near?”

[32:11.00]

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا جَعَلْنَا عَالِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَاَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهَا حِجَارَةً مِّنْ سِجِّيْلٍۙ۬   مَّنْضُوْدٍۙ‏﴿82﴾‏

[32:32.00]

83.Musawwamatan ‘inda Rabbik; wa maa hiya minaz zaalimena biba’eed (section 7)

وَاِلٰى مَدْيَنَ اَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًا‌ ؕ قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرُهٗ ‌ؕ وَلَا تَنْقُصُوا الْمِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيْزَانَ‌ اِنِّىْۤ اَرٰٮكُمْ بِخَيْرٍ وَّاِنِّىْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ مُّحِيْطٍ‏﴿84﴾‏

84.And to the people of Midian We sent their brother Shu’aib. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah. You have no god other than Him. And do not give short measure and weight. I do see you in prosperity now, but I truly fear for you the torment of an overwhelming Day.

[33:21.00]

وَيٰقَوْمِ اَوْفُوا الْمِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيْزَانَ بِالْقِسْطِ‌ وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ اَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِيْنَ‏﴿85﴾‏

85.O my people! Give full measure and weigh with justice. Do not defraud people of their property, nor go about spreading corruption in the land.

[33:38.00]

بَقِيَّتُ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ۬ ۚ وَمَاۤ اَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ بِحَفِيْظٍ‏﴿86﴾‏

86.Baqiyyatul laahi khairul lakum in kuntum mu’mineen; wa maa ana ‘alaikum bihafeez

86.What is left ˹as a lawful gain˺ by Allah is far better for you if you are ˹truly˺ believers. And I am not a keeper over you.”

[33:57.00]

قَالُوْا يٰشُعَيْبُ اَصَلٰوتُكَ تَاْمُرُكَ اَنْ نَّتْرُكَ مَا يَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَاۤ اَوْ اَنْ نَّفْعَلَ فِیْۤ اَمْوَالِنَا مَا نَشٰٓؤُا‌ ؕ اِنَّكَ لَاَنْتَ الْحَلِيْمُ الرَّشِيْدُ‏﴿87﴾‏

87.Qaaloo yaa Shu’aybu ‘a salaatuka ta’muruka an natruka maa ya’budu aabaaa’unaaa aw an naf’ala feee amwaalinaa maa nashaaa’oo innaka la antal haleemur rasheed

87.They asked ˹sarcastically˺, “O Shu’aib! Does your prayer command you that we should abandon what our forefathers worshipped or give up managing our wealth as we please? Indeed, you are such a tolerant, sensible man!”

[34:26.00]

قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّىْ وَرَزَقَنِىْ مِنْهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًا‌ ؕ وَمَاۤ اُرِيْدُ اَنْ اُخَالِفَكُمْ اِلٰى مَاۤ اَنْهٰٮكُمْ عَنْهُ‌ ؕ اِنْ اُرِيْدُ اِلَّا الْاِصْلَاحَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ‌ ؕ وَمَا تَوْفِيْقِىْۤ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ‌ ؕ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَاِلَيْهِ اُنِيْبُ‏﴿88﴾‏

88.Qaala yaa qawmi ara’aitum in kuntu ‘alaa baiyinatim mir Rabbee wa razaqanee minhu rizqan hasanaa; wa maaa ureedu an ukhaalifakum ilaa maaa anhaakum ‘anh; in ureedu illal islaaha mastata’t; wa maa tawfeeqeee illaa billaah; ‘alaihi tawakkaltu wa ilaihi uneeb

88.He said, “O my people! Consider if I stand on a clear proof from my Lord and He has blessed me with a good provision from Him. I do not want to do what I am forbidding you from. I only intend reform to the best of my ability. My success comes only through Allah. In Him I trust and to Him I turn.

[35:08.00]

وَيٰقَوْمِ لَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شِقَاقِىْۤ اَنْ يُّصِيْبَكُمْ مِّثْلُ مَاۤ اَصَابَ قَوْمَ نُوْحٍ اَوْ قَوْمَ هُوْدٍ اَوْ قَوْمَ صٰلِحٍ‌ؕ وَمَا قَوْمُ لُوْطٍ مِّنْكُمْ بِبَعِيْدٍ‏﴿89﴾‏

89.O my people! Do not let your opposition to me lead you to a fate similar to that of the people of Noah, or Hûd, or Ṣâliḥ. And the people of Lot are not far from you.1

[35:34.00]

وَاسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَيْهِ‌ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّىْ رَحِيْمٌ وَّدُوْدٌ‏﴿90﴾‏

90.Wastaghfiroo Rabbakum summa toobooo ilaih; inna Rabbee Raheemunw Wadood

90.So seek your Lord’s forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. Surely my Lord is Most Merciful, All-Loving.”

[35:50.00]

قَالُوْا يٰشُعَيْبُ مَا نَفْقَهُ كَثِيْرًا مِّمَّا تَقُوْلُ وَاِنَّا لَنَرٰٮكَ فِيْنَا ضَعِيْفًا‌ ۚ وَلَوْلَا رَهْطُكَ لَرَجَمْنٰكَ‌ؗ وَمَاۤ اَنْتَ عَلَيْنَا بِعَزِيْزٍ‏﴿91﴾‏

91.Qaaloo yaa Shu’aibu maa nafqahu kaseeram mimmaa taqoolu wa innaa lanaraaka fnaaka wa maaa anta ‘alainaa bi’azeez

91.They threatened, “O Shu’aib! We do not comprehend much of what you say, and surely we see you powerless among us. Were it not for your clan, we would have certainly stoned you, for you are nothing to us.”

[36:14.00]

قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَرَهْطِىْۤ اَعَزُّ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَ اتَّخَذْتُمُوْهُ وَرَآءَكُمْ ظِهْرِيًّا‌ ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّىْ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ مُحِيْطٌ‏﴿92﴾‏

92.Qaala yaa qawmi arahteee a’azzu ‘alaikum minal laahi wattakhaztumoohu waraaa’akum zihriyyan inna Rabbee bimaa ta’maloona muheet

92.He said, “O my people! Do you have more regard for my clan than for Allah, turning your back on Him entirely? Surely my Lord is Fully Aware of what you do.

[36:36.00]

وَيٰقَوْمِ اعْمَلُوْا عَلٰى مَكَانَتِكُمْ اِنِّىْ عَامِلٌ‌ ؕ سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۙ مَنْ يَّاْتِيْهِ عَذَابٌ يُّخْزِيْهِ وَمَنْ هُوَ كَاذِبٌ‌ ؕ وَارْتَقِبُوْۤا اِنِّىْ مَعَكُمْ رَقِيْبٌ‏﴿93﴾‏

93.Wa yaa qawmi’ maloo ‘alaa makaanatikum innee ‘aamilun sawfa ta’lamoona many ya’teehi ‘azaabuny yukhzeehi wa man huwa kaazib; wartaqibooo innnee ma’akum raqeeb

93.O my people! Persist in your ways, for I ˹too˺ will persist in mine. You will soon come to know who will be visited by a humiliating torment and is a liar! And watch! I too am watching with you!”

[37:01.00]

وَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا شُعَيْبًا وَّالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا ۚ وَاَخَذَتِ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّيْحَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِیْ دِيَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِيْنَۙ‏﴿94﴾‏

94.When Our command came, We saved Shu’aib and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us. And the ˹mighty˺ blast overtook the wrongdoers, so they fell lifeless in their homes,

[37:25.00]

كَاَنْ لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيْهَا‌ ؕ اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّمَدْيَنَ كَمَا بَعِدَتْ ثَمُوْدُ۠ ‏﴿95﴾‏

95.Ka-al-lam yaghnaw feehaaa; alaa bu’dal li Madyana Kamaa ba’idat Samood (section 8)

95.as if they had never lived there. So away with Midian as it was with Thamûd!

[37:37.00]

97.Ilaa Fir’awna wa mala’ihee fattaba’ooo amra Fir’awna wa maaa amru Fir’awna birasheed

97.to Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they followed the command of Pharaoh, and Pharaoh’s command was not well guided.

[38:04.00]

يَقْدُمُ قَوْمَهٗ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ فَاَوْرَدَهُمُ النَّارَ‌ؕ وَبِئْسَ الْوِرْدُ الْمَوْرُوْدُ‏﴿98﴾‏

98.Yaqdumu qawmahoo Yawmal Qiyaamati fa awrada humun Naara wa bi’sal wirdul mawrood

98.He will be before his people on the Day of Judgment and will lead them into the Fire. What an evil place to be led into!

[38:18.00]

وَاُتْبِعُوْا فِیْ هٰذِهٖ لَعْنَةً وَّيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ‌ ؕ بِئْسَ الرِّفْدُ الْمَرْفُوْدُ‏﴿99﴾‏

[38:47.00]

وَمَا ظَلَمْنٰهُمْ وَلٰكِنْ ظَلَمُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ‌ فَمَاۤ اَغْنَتْ عَنْهُمْ اٰلِهَتُهُمُ الَّتِىْ يَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَىْءٍ لَّمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُ رَبِّكَؕ ‌ وَمَا زَادُوْهُمْ غَيْرَ تَتْبِيْبٍ‏﴿101﴾‏

101.We did not wrong them, rather they wronged themselves. The gods they invoked beside Allah were of no help at all when the command of your Lord came, and only contributed to their ruin.

[39:20.00]

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَخْذُ رَبِّكَ اِذَاۤ اَخَذَ الْقُرٰى وَهِىَ ظَالِمَةٌ‌ ؕ اِنَّ اَخْذَهٗۤ اَلِيْمٌ شَدِيْدٌ‏﴿102﴾‏

102.Wa kazaalika akhzu Rabbika izaaa akhazal quraa wa hiya zaalimah; inna akhzahooo aleemun shadeed

102.Such is the ˹crushing˺ grip of your Lord when He seizes the societies entrenched in wrongdoing. Indeed, His grip is ˹terribly˺ painful and severe.

[39:39.00]

اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّمَنْ خَافَ عَذَابَ الْاٰخِرَةِ‌ ؕ ذٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّجْمُوْعٌ  ۙ  لَّهُ النَّاسُ وَذٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّشْهُوْدٌ‏﴿103﴾‏

103.Surely in this is a sign for those who fear the torment of the Hereafter. That is a Day for which humanity will be gathered and a Day ˹that will be˺ witnessed ˹by all˺.

[39:59.00]

وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهٗۤ اِلَّا لِاَجَلٍ مَّعْدُوْدٍؕ‏﴿104﴾‏

107.Khaalideena feehaa maa daamatis samaawaatu wal ardu illaa maa shaaa’a Rabbuk; inna Rabbaka fa’ ‘aalul limaa yureed

107.staying there forever, as long as the heavens and the earth will endure, except what your Lord wills.1 Surely your Lord does what He intends.

[40:52.00]

وَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ سُعِدُوْا فَفِى الْجَنَّةِ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالْاَرْضُ اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَ‌ ؕ عَطَآءً غَيْرَ مَجْذُوْذٍ‏﴿108﴾‏

108.And as for those destined to joy, they will be in Paradise, staying there forever, as long as the heavens and the earth will endure, except what your Lord wills1—a ˹generous˺ giving, without end.

[41:20.00]

فَلَا تَكُ فِیْ مِرْيَةٍ مِّمَّا يَعْبُدُ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ ‌ؕ مَا يَعْبُدُوْنَ اِلَّا كَمَا يَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُهُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُ‌ؕ وَاِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوْهُمْ نَصِيْبَهُمْ غَيْرَ مَنْقُوْصٍ۠ ‏﴿109﴾‏

109.Falaa taku fee miryatim mimmmaa ya’budu haaa’ulaaa’; maa ya’budoona illaa kamaa ya’budu aabaaa’uhum min qabl; wa innaa lamuwaf foohum naseebahum ghaira manqoos (section 9)

109.So do not be in doubt ˹O Prophet˺ about what those ˹pagans˺ worship. They worship nothing except what their forefathers worshipped before ˹them˺. And We will certainly give them their share ˹of punishment˺ in full, without any reduction.

[41:52.00]

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فِيْهِ‌ ؕ وَ لَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِىَ بَيْنَهُمْ‌ ؕ وَاِنَّهُمْ لَفِیْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيْبٍ‏﴿110﴾‏

110.Wa laqad aatainaa Moosal Kitaaba fakhtulifa feeh; wa law laa Kalimatun sabaqat mir Rabbika laqudiya bainahum; wa innahum lafee shakkim minhu mureeb

110.Indeed, We had given Moses the Scripture, but differences arose regarding it. Had it not been for a prior decree from your Lord,1 their differences would have been settled ˹at once˺. They are truly in alarming doubt about it.

[42:15.00]

وَاِنَّ كُلًّا لَّمَّا لَيُوَفِّيَنَّهُمْ رَبُّكَ اَعْمَالَهُمْ‌ ؕ اِنَّهٗ بِمَا يَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِيْرٌ‏﴿111﴾‏

111.Wa inna kullal lammaa la yuwaffiyannahum Rabbuka a’maalahum; innahoo bimaa ya’maloona Khabeer

111.And surely your Lord will fully pay all for their deeds. He is certainly All-Aware of what they do.

[42:30.00]

فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَاۤ اُمِرْتَ وَمَنْ تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلَا تَطْغَوْا‌ ؕ اِنَّهٗ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِيْرٌ‏﴿112﴾‏

112.Fastaqim kamaaa umirta wa man taaba ma’aka wa laa tatghaw; innahoo bimaa ta’maloona Baseer

112.So be steadfast as you are commanded ˹O Prophet˺, along with those who turn ˹in submission to Allah˺ with you. And do not transgress. Surely He is All-Seeing of what you ˹believers˺ do.

[42:45.00]

وَلَا تَرْكَنُوْۤا اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُۙ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ اَوْلِيَآءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْصَرُوْنَ‏﴿113﴾‏

113.Wa laa tarkanooo ilal lazeena zalamoo fatamassa kumun Naaru wa maa lakum min doonil laahi min awliyaaa’a summa laa tunsaroon

113.And do not be inclined to the wrongdoers or you will be touched by the Fire. For then you would have no protectors other than Allah, nor would you be helped.

[43:18.00]

وَاَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ طَرَفَىِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِّنَ الَّيْلِ‌ ؕ اِنَّ الْحَسَنٰتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّاٰتِ ‌ؕ ذٰلِكَ ذِكْرٰى لِلذّٰكِرِيْنَ ‌ۚ‏﴿114﴾‏

114.Wa aqimis Salaata tarafayin nahaari wa zulafam minal layl; innal hasanaati yuzhibnas saiyi aat; zaalika zikraa liz zaakireen

114.Establish prayer ˹O Prophet˺ at both ends of the day and in the early part of the night.1 Surely good deeds wipe out evil deeds. That is a reminder for the mindful.

[43:40.00]

وَاصْبِرْ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُضِيْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ‏﴿115﴾‏

115.Wasbir fa innal laaha laa yudee’u ajral muhsineen

115.And be patient! Certainly Allah does not discount the reward of the good-doers.

[43:48.00]

فَلَوْ لَا كَانَ مِنَ الْقُرُوْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ اُولُوْا بَقِيَّةٍ يَّنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْفَسَادِ فِى الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا مِّمَّنْ اَنْجَيْنَا مِنْهُمْ‌ ۚ وَاتَّبَعَ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مَاۤ اُتْرِفُوْا فِيْهِ وَكَانُوْا مُجْرِمِيْنَ‏﴿116﴾‏

116.Falaw laa kaana minal qurooni min qablikum ooloo baqiyyatiny yanhawna ‘anil fasaadi fil ardi illaa qaleelam mimman anjainaa minhum; wattaba’al lazeena zalamoo maaa utrifoo feehi wa kaanoo mujrimeen

116.If only there had been among the ˹destroyed˺ peoples before you, ˹O believers,˺ virtuous individuals who forbade corruption in the land—other than the few We had saved ˹from the torment˺. But the wrongdoers ˹only˺ pursued their ˹worldly˺ pleasures, becoming wicked.

[44:17.00]

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهْلِكَ الْقُرٰى بِظُلْمٍ وَّاَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُوْنَ‏﴿117﴾‏

117.Wa maa kaana Rabbuka liyuhlikal quraa bizulminw wa ahluhaa muslihoon

117.And your Lord ˹O Prophet˺ would never destroy a society unjustly while its people were acting rightly.

[44:28.00]

وَلَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ النَّاسَ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً‌ وَّلَا يَزَالُوْنَ مُخْتَلِفِيْنَۙ‏﴿118﴾‏

118.Wa law shaaa’a Rabbuka laja’alannnaasa ummatanw waa hidatanw wa laa yazaaloona mukhtalifeen

118.Had your Lord so willed, He would have certainly made humanity one single community ˹of believers˺, but they will always ˹choose to˺ differ—

[44:43.00]

اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَ‌ ؕ وَلِذٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمْ‌ ؕ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَاَمْلَئَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ اَجْمَعِيْنَ‏﴿119﴾‏

119.Illaa mar rahima Rabbuk; wa lizaalika khalaqahum; wa tammat Kalimatu Rabbika la amla’ana Jahannama minal jinnati wannnaasi ajma’een

119.except those shown mercy by your Lord—and so He created them ˹to choose freely˺. And so the Word of your Lord will be fulfilled: “I will surely fill up Hell with jinn and humans all together.”

[45:02.00]

وَكُلًّا نَّقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ الرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهٖ فُؤَادَكَ‌ ۚ وَجَآءَكَ فِیْ هٰذِهِ الْحَقُّ وَمَوْعِظَةٌ وَّذِكْرٰى لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ‏﴿120﴾‏

120.Wa kullan naqussu ‘alaika min ambaaa’ir Rusuli maa nusabbitu bihee fu’aadak; wa jaaa’aka fee haazihil haqqu wa maw’izatunw wa zikraa lilmu’ mineen

120.And We relate to you ˹O Prophet˺ the stories of the messengers to reassure your heart. And there has come to you in this ˹sûrah˺ the truth, a warning ˹to the disbelievers˺, and a reminder to the believers.

[45:26.00]

وَقُلْ لِّلَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ اعْمَلُوْا عَلٰى مَكَانَتِكُمْؕ اِنَّا عٰمِلُوْنَۙ‏﴿121﴾‏

121.Wa qul lillazeena laa yu’minoo na’maloo ‘alaa makaanatikum innaa ‘aamiloon

121.Say to those who disbelieve, “Persist in your ways; we will certainly persist in ours.

[45:38.00]

وَانْتَظِرُوْا‌ ۚ اِنَّا مُنْتَظِرُوْنَ‏﴿122﴾‏

122.Wantaziroo innaa mun taziroon

122.And wait! Surely we ˹too˺ are waiting.”

[45:48.00]

وَلِلّٰهِ غَيْبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَاِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُ الْاَمْرُ كُلُّهٗ فَاعْبُدْهُ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَيْهِ‌ؕ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ۠ ﴿123﴾‏

123.Wa lillaahi ghaibus samaawaati wal ardi wa ilaihi yurja’ul amru kulluhoo fa’bud hu wa tawakkal ‘alaih; wa maa Rabbuka bighaafilin ‘ammaa ta’maloon (section 10)

123.To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs the knowledge of what is hidden in the heavens and the earth. And to Him all matters are returned. So worship Him and put your trust in Him. And your Lord is never unaware of what you do.
