ٱلْحَمْدُلِلَّهِٱلَّذِىٓأَنزَلَعَلَىٰعَبْدِهِٱلْكِتَـٰبَوَلَمْيَجْعَللَّهُۥعِوَجَاۜ١
[All] praise is [due] to Allāh, who has sent down upon His Servant [Muḥammad (ﷺ)] the Book and has not made therein any deviance.
2
قَيِّمًۭالِّيُنذِرَبَأْسًۭاشَدِيدًۭامِّنلَّدُنْهُوَيُبَشِّرَٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَٱلَّذِينَيَعْمَلُونَٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِأَنَّلَهُمْأَجْرًاحَسَنًۭا٢
[He has made it] straight, to warn of severe punishment from Him and to give good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a good reward [i.e., Paradise]
3
مَّـٰكِثِينَفِيهِأَبَدًۭا٣
In which they will remain forever
4
وَيُنذِرَٱلَّذِينَقَالُوا۟ٱتَّخَذَٱللَّهُوَلَدًۭا٤
And to warn those who say, "Allāh has taken a son."
5
مَّالَهُمبِهِۦمِنْعِلْمٍۢوَلَالِـَٔابَآئِهِمْ ۚكَبُرَتْكَلِمَةًۭتَخْرُجُمِنْأَفْوَٰهِهِمْ ۚإِنيَقُولُونَإِلَّاكَذِبًۭا٥
They have no knowledge of it, nor had their fathers. Grave is the word that comes out of their mouths; they speak not except a lie.
6
فَلَعَلَّكَبَـٰخِعٌۭنَّفْسَكَعَلَىٰٓءَاثَـٰرِهِمْإِنلَّمْيُؤْمِنُوا۟بِهَـٰذَاٱلْحَدِيثِأَسَفًا٦
Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over them, [O Muḥammad], if they do not believe in this message, [and] out of sorrow.
7
إِنَّاجَعَلْنَامَاعَلَىٱلْأَرْضِزِينَةًۭلَّهَالِنَبْلُوَهُمْأَيُّهُمْأَحْسَنُعَمَلًۭا٧
Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed.
8
وَإِنَّالَجَـٰعِلُونَمَاعَلَيْهَاصَعِيدًۭاجُرُزًا٨
And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground.
9
أَمْحَسِبْتَأَنَّأَصْحَـٰبَٱلْكَهْفِوَٱلرَّقِيمِكَانُوا۟مِنْءَايَـٰتِنَاعَجَبًا٩
Or have you thought that the companions of the cave and the inscription were, among Our signs, a wonder?
10
إِذْأَوَىٱلْفِتْيَةُإِلَىٱلْكَهْفِفَقَالُوا۟رَبَّنَآءَاتِنَامِنلَّدُنكَرَحْمَةًۭوَهَيِّئْلَنَامِنْأَمْرِنَارَشَدًۭا١٠
[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
فَضَرَبْنَاعَلَىٰٓءَاذَانِهِمْفِىٱلْكَهْفِسِنِينَعَدَدًۭا١١
So We cast [a cover of sleep] over their ears within the cave for a number of years.
12
ثُمَّبَعَثْنَـٰهُمْلِنَعْلَمَأَىُّٱلْحِزْبَيْنِأَحْصَىٰلِمَالَبِثُوٓا۟أَمَدًۭا١٢
Then We awakened them that We might show which of the two factions was most precise in calculating what [extent] they had remained in time.
13
نَّحْنُنَقُصُّعَلَيْكَنَبَأَهُمبِٱلْحَقِّ ۚإِنَّهُمْفِتْيَةٌءَامَنُوا۟بِرَبِّهِمْوَزِدْنَـٰهُمْهُدًۭى١٣
It is We who relate to you, [O Muḥammad], their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.
14
وَرَبَطْنَاعَلَىٰقُلُوبِهِمْإِذْقَامُوا۟فَقَالُوا۟رَبُّنَارَبُّٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِوَٱلْأَرْضِلَننَّدْعُوَا۟مِندُونِهِۦٓإِلَـٰهًۭا ۖلَّقَدْقُلْنَآإِذًۭاشَطَطًا١٤
And We bound [i.e., made firm] 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
هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِقَوْمُنَاٱتَّخَذُوا۟مِندُونِهِۦٓءَالِهَةًۭ ۖلَّوْلَايَأْتُونَعَلَيْهِمبِسُلْطَـٰنٍۭبَيِّنٍۢ ۖفَمَنْأَظْلَمُمِمَّنِٱفْتَرَىٰعَلَىٱللَّهِكَذِبًۭا١٥
These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear evidence? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allāh a lie?"
16
وَإِذِٱعْتَزَلْتُمُوهُمْوَمَايَعْبُدُونَإِلَّاٱللَّهَفَأْوُۥٓا۟إِلَىٱلْكَهْفِيَنشُرْلَكُمْرَبُّكُممِّنرَّحْمَتِهِۦوَيُهَيِّئْلَكُممِّنْأَمْرِكُممِّرْفَقًۭا١٦
[The youths said to one another], "And when you have withdrawn from them and that which they worship other than Allāh, retreat to the cave. Your Lord will spread out for you of His mercy and will prepare for you from your affair facility."
17
۞ وَتَرَىٱلشَّمْسَإِذَاطَلَعَتتَّزَٰوَرُعَنكَهْفِهِمْذَاتَٱلْيَمِينِوَإِذَاغَرَبَتتَّقْرِضُهُمْذَاتَٱلشِّمَالِوَهُمْفِىفَجْوَةٍۢمِّنْهُ ۚذَٰلِكَمِنْءَايَـٰتِٱللَّهِ ۗمَنيَهْدِٱللَّهُفَهُوَٱلْمُهْتَدِ ۖوَمَنيُضْلِلْفَلَنتَجِدَلَهُۥوَلِيًّۭامُّرْشِدًۭا١٧
And [had you been present], you would see the sun when it rose, inclining away from their cave on the right, and when it set, passing away from them on the left, while they were [lying] within an open space thereof. That was from the signs of Allāh. He whom Allāh guides is the [rightly] guided, but he whom He sends astray - never will you find for him a protecting guide.
18
وَتَحْسَبُهُمْأَيْقَاظًۭاوَهُمْرُقُودٌۭ ۚوَنُقَلِّبُهُمْذَاتَٱلْيَمِينِوَذَاتَٱلشِّمَالِ ۖوَكَلْبُهُمبَـٰسِطٌۭذِرَاعَيْهِبِٱلْوَصِيدِ ۚلَوِٱطَّلَعْتَعَلَيْهِمْلَوَلَّيْتَمِنْهُمْفِرَارًۭاوَلَمُلِئْتَمِنْهُمْرُعْبًۭا١٨
And you would think them awake, while they were asleep. And We turned them to the right and to the left, while 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 by them with terror.
19
وَكَذَٰلِكَبَعَثْنَـٰهُمْلِيَتَسَآءَلُوا۟بَيْنَهُمْ ۚقَالَقَآئِلٌۭمِّنْهُمْكَمْلَبِثْتُمْ ۖقَالُوا۟لَبِثْنَايَوْمًاأَوْبَعْضَيَوْمٍۢ ۚقَالُوا۟رَبُّكُمْأَعْلَمُبِمَالَبِثْتُمْفَٱبْعَثُوٓا۟أَحَدَكُمبِوَرِقِكُمْهَـٰذِهِۦٓإِلَىٱلْمَدِينَةِفَلْيَنظُرْأَيُّهَآأَزْكَىٰطَعَامًۭافَلْيَأْتِكُمبِرِزْقٍۢمِّنْهُوَلْيَتَلَطَّفْوَلَايُشْعِرَنَّبِكُمْأَحَدًا١٩
And similarly, We awakened them that they might question one another. Said a speaker from among them, "How long have you remained [here]?" 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 of food and bring you provision from it and let him be cautious. And let no one be aware of you.
20
إِنَّهُمْإِنيَظْهَرُوا۟عَلَيْكُمْيَرْجُمُوكُمْأَوْيُعِيدُوكُمْفِىمِلَّتِهِمْوَلَنتُفْلِحُوٓا۟إِذًاأَبَدًۭا٢٠
Indeed, if they come to know of you, they will stone you or return you to their religion. And never would you succeed, then - ever."
21
وَكَذَٰلِكَأَعْثَرْنَاعَلَيْهِمْلِيَعْلَمُوٓا۟أَنَّوَعْدَٱللَّهِحَقٌّۭوَأَنَّٱلسَّاعَةَلَارَيْبَفِيهَآإِذْيَتَنَـٰزَعُونَبَيْنَهُمْأَمْرَهُمْ ۖفَقَالُوا۟ٱبْنُوا۟عَلَيْهِمبُنْيَـٰنًۭا ۖرَّبُّهُمْأَعْلَمُبِهِمْ ۚقَالَٱلَّذِينَغَلَبُوا۟عَلَىٰٓأَمْرِهِمْلَنَتَّخِذَنَّعَلَيْهِممَّسْجِدًۭا٢١
And similarly, We caused them to be found that they [who found them] would know that the promise of Allāh is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [That was] when they disputed among themselves about their affair and [then] said, "Construct over them a structure. Their Lord is most knowing about them." Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."
22
سَيَقُولُونَثَلَـٰثَةٌۭرَّابِعُهُمْكَلْبُهُمْوَيَقُولُونَخَمْسَةٌۭسَادِسُهُمْكَلْبُهُمْرَجْمًۢابِٱلْغَيْبِ ۖوَيَقُولُونَسَبْعَةٌۭوَثَامِنُهُمْكَلْبُهُمْ ۚقُلرَّبِّىٓأَعْلَمُبِعِدَّتِهِممَّايَعْلَمُهُمْإِلَّاقَلِيلٌۭ ۗفَلَاتُمَارِفِيهِمْإِلَّامِرَآءًۭظَـٰهِرًۭاوَلَاتَسْتَفْتِفِيهِممِّنْهُمْأَحَدًۭا٢٢
They [i.e., people] 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, [O Muḥammad], "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 speculators] from anyone."
23
وَلَاتَقُولَنَّلِشَا۟ىْءٍإِنِّىفَاعِلٌۭذَٰلِكَغَدًا٢٣
And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow,"
24
إِلَّآأَنيَشَآءَٱللَّهُ ۚوَٱذْكُررَّبَّكَإِذَانَسِيتَوَقُلْعَسَىٰٓأَنيَهْدِيَنِرَبِّىلِأَقْرَبَمِنْهَـٰذَارَشَدًۭا٢٤
Except [when adding], "If Allāh 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 conduct."
25
وَلَبِثُوا۟فِىكَهْفِهِمْثَلَـٰثَمِا۟ئَةٍۢسِنِينَوَٱزْدَادُوا۟تِسْعًۭا٢٥
And they remained in their cave for three hundred years and exceeded by nine.
26
قُلِٱللَّهُأَعْلَمُبِمَالَبِثُوا۟ ۖلَهُۥغَيْبُٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِوَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖأَبْصِرْبِهِۦوَأَسْمِعْ ۚمَالَهُممِّندُونِهِۦمِنوَلِىٍّۢوَلَايُشْرِكُفِىحُكْمِهِۦٓأَحَدًۭا٢٦
Say, "Allāh is most knowing of how long they remained. He has [knowledge of] the unseen [aspects] 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
وَٱتْلُمَآأُوحِىَإِلَيْكَمِنكِتَابِرَبِّكَ ۖلَامُبَدِّلَلِكَلِمَـٰتِهِۦوَلَنتَجِدَمِندُونِهِۦمُلْتَحَدًۭا٢٧
And recite, [O Muḥammad], 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
وَٱصْبِرْنَفْسَكَمَعَٱلَّذِينَيَدْعُونَرَبَّهُمبِٱلْغَدَوٰةِوَٱلْعَشِىِّيُرِيدُونَوَجْهَهُۥ ۖوَلَاتَعْدُعَيْنَاكَعَنْهُمْتُرِيدُزِينَةَٱلْحَيَوٰةِٱلدُّنْيَا ۖوَلَاتُطِعْمَنْأَغْفَلْنَاقَلْبَهُۥعَنذِكْرِنَاوَٱتَّبَعَهَوَىٰهُوَكَانَأَمْرُهُۥفُرُطًۭا٢٨
And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His face [i.e., acceptance]. And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of the 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] neglect.
29
وَقُلِٱلْحَقُّمِنرَّبِّكُمْ ۖفَمَنشَآءَفَلْيُؤْمِنوَمَنشَآءَفَلْيَكْفُرْ ۚإِنَّآأَعْتَدْنَالِلظَّـٰلِمِينَنَارًاأَحَاطَبِهِمْسُرَادِقُهَا ۚوَإِنيَسْتَغِيثُوا۟يُغَاثُوا۟بِمَآءٍۢكَٱلْمُهْلِيَشْوِىٱلْوُجُوهَ ۚبِئْسَٱلشَّرَابُوَسَآءَتْمُرْتَفَقًا٢٩
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
إِنَّٱلَّذِينَءَامَنُوا۟وَعَمِلُوا۟ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِإِنَّالَانُضِيعُأَجْرَمَنْأَحْسَنَعَمَلًا٣٠
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of any who did well in deeds.
31
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَلَهُمْجَنَّـٰتُعَدْنٍۢتَجْرِىمِنتَحْتِهِمُٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُيُحَلَّوْنَفِيهَامِنْأَسَاوِرَمِنذَهَبٍۢوَيَلْبَسُونَثِيَابًاخُضْرًۭامِّنسُندُسٍۢوَإِسْتَبْرَقٍۢمُّتَّكِـِٔينَفِيهَاعَلَىٱلْأَرَآئِكِ ۚنِعْمَٱلثَّوَابُوَحَسُنَتْمُرْتَفَقًۭا٣١
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
۞ وَٱضْرِبْلَهُممَّثَلًۭارَّجُلَيْنِجَعَلْنَالِأَحَدِهِمَاجَنَّتَيْنِمِنْأَعْنَـٰبٍۢوَحَفَفْنَـٰهُمَابِنَخْلٍۢوَجَعَلْنَابَيْنَهُمَازَرْعًۭا٣٢
And present to them an example of two men: We granted to one of them two gardens of grapevines, and We bordered them with palm trees and placed between them [fields of] crops.
33
كِلْتَاٱلْجَنَّتَيْنِءَاتَتْأُكُلَهَاوَلَمْتَظْلِممِّنْهُشَيْـًۭٔا ۚوَفَجَّرْنَاخِلَـٰلَهُمَانَهَرًۭا٣٣
Each of the two gardens produced its fruit and did not fall short thereof in anything. And We caused to gush forth within them a river.
34
وَكَانَلَهُۥثَمَرٌۭفَقَالَلِصَـٰحِبِهِۦوَهُوَيُحَاوِرُهُۥٓأَنَا۠أَكْثَرُمِنكَمَالًۭاوَأَعَزُّنَفَرًۭا٣٤
And he had fruit, so he said to his companion while he was conversing with him, "I am greater than you in wealth and mightier in [numbers of] men."
35
وَدَخَلَجَنَّتَهُۥوَهُوَظَالِمٌۭلِّنَفْسِهِۦقَالَمَآأَظُنُّأَنتَبِيدَهَـٰذِهِۦٓأَبَدًۭا٣٥
And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself. He said, "I do not think that this will perish - ever.
36
وَمَآأَظُنُّٱلسَّاعَةَقَآئِمَةًۭوَلَئِنرُّدِدتُّإِلَىٰرَبِّىلَأَجِدَنَّخَيْرًۭامِّنْهَامُنقَلَبًۭا٣٦
And I do not think the Hour will occur. And even if I should be brought back to my Lord, I will surely find better than this as a return."
37
قَالَلَهُۥصَاحِبُهُۥوَهُوَيُحَاوِرُهُۥٓأَكَفَرْتَبِٱلَّذِىخَلَقَكَمِنتُرَابٍۢثُمَّمِننُّطْفَةٍۢثُمَّسَوَّىٰكَرَجُلًۭا٣٧
His companion said to him while he was 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
لَّـٰكِنَّا۠هُوَٱللَّهُرَبِّىوَلَآأُشْرِكُبِرَبِّىٓأَحَدًۭا٣٨
But as for me, He is Allāh, my Lord, and I do not associate with my Lord anyone.
39
وَلَوْلَآإِذْدَخَلْتَجَنَّتَكَقُلْتَمَاشَآءَٱللَّهُلَاقُوَّةَإِلَّابِٱللَّهِ ۚإِنتَرَنِأَنَا۠أَقَلَّمِنكَمَالًۭاوَوَلَدًۭا٣٩
And why did you, when you entered your garden, not say, 'What Allāh willed [has occurred]; there is no power except in Allāh'? Although you see me less than you in wealth and children,
40
فَعَسَىٰرَبِّىٓأَنيُؤْتِيَنِخَيْرًۭامِّنجَنَّتِكَوَيُرْسِلَعَلَيْهَاحُسْبَانًۭامِّنَٱلسَّمَآءِفَتُصْبِحَصَعِيدًۭازَلَقًا٤٠
It may be that my Lord will give me [something] better than your garden and will send upon it a [disastrous] penalty from the sky, and it will become a smooth, dusty ground,
41
أَوْيُصْبِحَمَآؤُهَاغَوْرًۭافَلَنتَسْتَطِيعَلَهُۥطَلَبًۭا٤١
Or its water will become sunken [into the earth], so you would never be able to seek it."
42
وَأُحِيطَبِثَمَرِهِۦفَأَصْبَحَيُقَلِّبُكَفَّيْهِعَلَىٰمَآأَنفَقَفِيهَاوَهِىَخَاوِيَةٌعَلَىٰعُرُوشِهَاوَيَقُولُيَـٰلَيْتَنِىلَمْأُشْرِكْبِرَبِّىٓأَحَدًۭا٤٢
And his fruits were encompassed [by ruin], so he began to turn his hands about [in dismay] over what he had spent on it, while it had collapsed upon its trellises, and said, "Oh, I wish I had not associated with my Lord anyone."
43
وَلَمْتَكُنلَّهُۥفِئَةٌۭيَنصُرُونَهُۥمِندُونِٱللَّهِوَمَاكَانَمُنتَصِرًا٤٣
And there was for him no company to aid him other than Allāh, nor could he defend himself.
44
هُنَالِكَٱلْوَلَـٰيَةُلِلَّهِٱلْحَقِّ ۚهُوَخَيْرٌۭثَوَابًۭاوَخَيْرٌعُقْبًۭا٤٤
There the authority is [completely] for Allāh, the Truth. He is best in reward and best in outcome.
45
وَٱضْرِبْلَهُممَّثَلَٱلْحَيَوٰةِٱلدُّنْيَاكَمَآءٍأَنزَلْنَـٰهُمِنَٱلسَّمَآءِفَٱخْتَلَطَبِهِۦنَبَاتُٱلْأَرْضِفَأَصْبَحَهَشِيمًۭاتَذْرُوهُٱلرِّيَـٰحُ ۗوَكَانَٱللَّهُعَلَىٰكُلِّشَىْءٍۢمُّقْتَدِرًا٤٥
And present to them the example of the life of this world, [its being] like rain which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it and [then] it becomes dry remnants, scattered by the winds. And Allāh is ever, over all things, Perfect in Ability.
46
ٱلْمَالُوَٱلْبَنُونَزِينَةُٱلْحَيَوٰةِٱلدُّنْيَا ۖوَٱلْبَـٰقِيَـٰتُٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتُخَيْرٌعِندَرَبِّكَثَوَابًۭاوَخَيْرٌأَمَلًۭا٤٦
Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one's] hope.
47
وَيَوْمَنُسَيِّرُٱلْجِبَالَوَتَرَىٱلْأَرْضَبَارِزَةًۭوَحَشَرْنَـٰهُمْفَلَمْنُغَادِرْمِنْهُمْأَحَدًۭا٤٧
And [warn of] the Day when We will remove the mountains and you will see the earth exposed, and We will gather them and not leave behind from them anyone.
48
وَعُرِضُوا۟عَلَىٰرَبِّكَصَفًّۭالَّقَدْجِئْتُمُونَاكَمَاخَلَقْنَـٰكُمْأَوَّلَمَرَّةٍۭ ۚبَلْزَعَمْتُمْأَلَّننَّجْعَلَلَكُممَّوْعِدًۭا٤٨
And they will be presented before your Lord in rows, [and He will say], "You have certainly come to Us just as We created you the first time. But you claimed that We would never make for you an appointment."
49
وَوُضِعَٱلْكِتَـٰبُفَتَرَىٱلْمُجْرِمِينَمُشْفِقِينَمِمَّافِيهِوَيَقُولُونَيَـٰوَيْلَتَنَامَالِهَـٰذَاٱلْكِتَـٰبِلَايُغَادِرُصَغِيرَةًۭوَلَاكَبِيرَةًإِلَّآأَحْصَىٰهَا ۚوَوَجَدُوا۟مَاعَمِلُوا۟حَاضِرًۭا ۗوَلَايَظْلِمُرَبُّكَأَحَدًۭا٤٩
And the record [of deeds] will be placed [open], 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 nothing small or great except that it has enumerated it?" And they will find what they did present [before them]. And your Lord does injustice to no one.
50
وَإِذْقُلْنَالِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِٱسْجُدُوا۟لِـَٔادَمَفَسَجَدُوٓا۟إِلَّآإِبْلِيسَكَانَمِنَٱلْجِنِّفَفَسَقَعَنْأَمْرِرَبِّهِۦٓ ۗأَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُۥوَذُرِّيَّتَهُۥٓأَوْلِيَآءَمِندُونِىوَهُمْلَكُمْعَدُوٌّۢ ۚبِئْسَلِلظَّـٰلِمِينَبَدَلًۭا٥٠
And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was of the jinn and departed from [i.e., disobeyed] the command of his Lord. Then 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
۞ مَّآأَشْهَدتُّهُمْخَلْقَٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِوَٱلْأَرْضِوَلَاخَلْقَأَنفُسِهِمْوَمَاكُنتُمُتَّخِذَٱلْمُضِلِّينَعَضُدًۭا٥١
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
وَيَوْمَيَقُولُنَادُوا۟شُرَكَآءِىَٱلَّذِينَزَعَمْتُمْفَدَعَوْهُمْفَلَمْيَسْتَجِيبُوا۟لَهُمْوَجَعَلْنَابَيْنَهُممَّوْبِقًۭا٥٢
And [warn of] the Day when He will say, "Call My 'partners' whom you claimed," and they will invoke them, but they will not respond to them. And We will put between them [a valley of] destruction.
53
وَرَءَاٱلْمُجْرِمُونَٱلنَّارَفَظَنُّوٓا۟أَنَّهُممُّوَاقِعُوهَاوَلَمْيَجِدُوا۟عَنْهَامَصْرِفًۭا٥٣
And the criminals will see the Fire and will be certain that they are to fall therein. And they will not find from it a way elsewhere.
54
وَلَقَدْصَرَّفْنَافِىهَـٰذَاٱلْقُرْءَانِلِلنَّاسِمِنكُلِّمَثَلٍۢ ۚوَكَانَٱلْإِنسَـٰنُأَكْثَرَشَىْءٍۢجَدَلًۭا٥٤
And We have certainly diversified in this Qur’ān for the people from every [kind of] example; but man has ever been, most of anything, [prone to] dispute.
55
وَمَامَنَعَٱلنَّاسَأَنيُؤْمِنُوٓا۟إِذْجَآءَهُمُٱلْهُدَىٰوَيَسْتَغْفِرُوا۟رَبَّهُمْإِلَّآأَنتَأْتِيَهُمْسُنَّةُٱلْأَوَّلِينَأَوْيَأْتِيَهُمُٱلْعَذَابُقُبُلًۭا٥٥
And nothing has prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord except that there [must] befall them the [accustomed] precedent of the former peoples or that the punishment should come [directly] before them.
56
وَمَانُرْسِلُٱلْمُرْسَلِينَإِلَّامُبَشِّرِينَوَمُنذِرِينَ ۚوَيُجَـٰدِلُٱلَّذِينَكَفَرُوا۟بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِلِيُدْحِضُوا۟بِهِٱلْحَقَّ ۖوَٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ءَايَـٰتِىوَمَآأُنذِرُوا۟هُزُوًۭا٥٦
And We send not the messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners. And those who disbelieve dispute by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth and have taken My verses, and that of which they are warned, in ridicule.
57
وَمَنْأَظْلَمُمِمَّنذُكِّرَبِـَٔايَـٰتِرَبِّهِۦفَأَعْرَضَعَنْهَاوَنَسِىَمَاقَدَّمَتْيَدَاهُ ۚإِنَّاجَعَلْنَاعَلَىٰقُلُوبِهِمْأَكِنَّةًأَنيَفْقَهُوهُوَفِىٓءَاذَانِهِمْوَقْرًۭا ۖوَإِنتَدْعُهُمْإِلَىٱلْهُدَىٰفَلَنيَهْتَدُوٓا۟إِذًاأَبَدًۭا٥٧
And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord but turns away from them and forgets what his hands have put forth? Indeed, We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if you invite them to guidance - they will never be guided, then - ever.
58
وَرَبُّكَٱلْغَفُورُذُوٱلرَّحْمَةِ ۖلَوْيُؤَاخِذُهُمبِمَاكَسَبُوا۟لَعَجَّلَلَهُمُٱلْعَذَابَ ۚبَللَّهُممَّوْعِدٌۭلَّنيَجِدُوا۟مِندُونِهِۦمَوْئِلًۭا٥٨
And your Lord is the Forgiving, the possessor of mercy. If He were to impose blame upon them for what they earned, He would have hastened for them the punishment. Rather, for them is an appointment from which they will never find an escape.
59
وَتِلْكَٱلْقُرَىٰٓأَهْلَكْنَـٰهُمْلَمَّاظَلَمُوا۟وَجَعَلْنَالِمَهْلِكِهِممَّوْعِدًۭا٥٩
And those cities - We destroyed them when they wronged, and We made for their destruction an appointed time.
60
وَإِذْقَالَمُوسَىٰلِفَتَىٰهُلَآأَبْرَحُحَتَّىٰٓأَبْلُغَمَجْمَعَٱلْبَحْرَيْنِأَوْأَمْضِىَحُقُبًۭا٦٠
And [mention] when Moses said to his boy [i.e., servant], "I will not cease [traveling] until I reach the junction of the two seas or continue for a long period."
61
فَلَمَّابَلَغَامَجْمَعَبَيْنِهِمَانَسِيَاحُوتَهُمَافَٱتَّخَذَسَبِيلَهُۥفِىٱلْبَحْرِسَرَبًۭا٦١
But when they reached the junction between them, they forgot their fish, and it took its course into the sea, slipping away.
62
فَلَمَّاجَاوَزَاقَالَلِفَتَىٰهُءَاتِنَاغَدَآءَنَالَقَدْلَقِينَامِنسَفَرِنَاهَـٰذَانَصَبًۭا٦٢
So when they had passed beyond it, [Moses] said to his boy, "Bring us our morning meal. We have certainly suffered in this, our journey, [much] fatigue."
63
قَالَأَرَءَيْتَإِذْأَوَيْنَآإِلَىٱلصَّخْرَةِفَإِنِّىنَسِيتُٱلْحُوتَوَمَآأَنسَىٰنِيهُإِلَّاٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُأَنْأَذْكُرَهُۥ ۚوَٱتَّخَذَسَبِيلَهُۥفِىٱلْبَحْرِعَجَبًۭا٦٣
He said, "Did you see when we retired to the rock? Indeed, I forgot [there] the fish. And none made me forget it except Satan - that I should mention it. And it took its course into the sea amazingly."
64
قَالَذَٰلِكَمَاكُنَّانَبْغِ ۚفَٱرْتَدَّاعَلَىٰٓءَاثَارِهِمَاقَصَصًۭا٦٤
[Moses] said, "That is what we were seeking." So they returned, following their footprints.
65
فَوَجَدَاعَبْدًۭامِّنْعِبَادِنَآءَاتَيْنَـٰهُرَحْمَةًۭمِّنْعِندِنَاوَعَلَّمْنَـٰهُمِنلَّدُنَّاعِلْمًۭا٦٥
And they found a servant from among Our servants [i.e., al-Khiḍr] to whom We had given mercy from Us and had taught him from Us a [certain] knowledge.
66
قَالَلَهُۥمُوسَىٰهَلْأَتَّبِعُكَعَلَىٰٓأَنتُعَلِّمَنِمِمَّاعُلِّمْتَرُشْدًۭا٦٦
Moses said to him, "May I follow you on [the condition] that you teach me from what you have been taught of sound judgement?"
67
قَالَإِنَّكَلَنتَسْتَطِيعَمَعِىَصَبْرًۭا٦٧
He said, "Indeed, with me you will never be able to have patience.
68
وَكَيْفَتَصْبِرُعَلَىٰمَالَمْتُحِطْبِهِۦخُبْرًۭا٦٨
And how can you have patience for what you do not encompass in knowledge?"
69
قَالَسَتَجِدُنِىٓإِنشَآءَٱللَّهُصَابِرًۭاوَلَآأَعْصِىلَكَأَمْرًۭا٦٩
[Moses] said, "You will find me, if Allāh wills, patient, and I will not disobey you in [any] order."
70
قَالَفَإِنِٱتَّبَعْتَنِىفَلَاتَسْـَٔلْنِىعَنشَىْءٍحَتَّىٰٓأُحْدِثَلَكَمِنْهُذِكْرًۭا٧٠
He said, "Then if you follow me, do not ask me about anything until I make to you about it mention [i.e., explanation]."
71
فَٱنطَلَقَاحَتَّىٰٓإِذَارَكِبَافِىٱلسَّفِينَةِخَرَقَهَا ۖقَالَأَخَرَقْتَهَالِتُغْرِقَأَهْلَهَالَقَدْجِئْتَشَيْـًٔاإِمْرًۭا٧١
So they set out, until when they had embarked on the ship, he [i.e., al-Khiḍr] tore it open. [Moses] said, "Have you torn it open to drown its people? You have certainly done a grave thing."
72
قَالَأَلَمْأَقُلْإِنَّكَلَنتَسْتَطِيعَمَعِىَصَبْرًۭا٧٢
[Al-Khiḍr] said, "Did I not say that with me you would never be able to have patience?"
73
قَالَلَاتُؤَاخِذْنِىبِمَانَسِيتُوَلَاتُرْهِقْنِىمِنْأَمْرِىعُسْرًۭا٧٣
[Moses] said, "Do not blame me for what I forgot and do not overwhelm me in my matter with difficulty."
74
فَٱنطَلَقَاحَتَّىٰٓإِذَالَقِيَاغُلَـٰمًۭافَقَتَلَهُۥقَالَأَقَتَلْتَنَفْسًۭازَكِيَّةًۢبِغَيْرِنَفْسٍۢلَّقَدْجِئْتَشَيْـًۭٔانُّكْرًۭا٧٤
So they set out, until when they met a boy, he [i.e., al-Khiḍr] killed him. [Moses] said, "Have you killed a pure soul for other than [having killed] a soul? You have certainly done a deplorable thing."
75
۞ قَالَأَلَمْأَقُللَّكَإِنَّكَلَنتَسْتَطِيعَمَعِىَصَبْرًۭا٧٥
[Al-Khiḍr] said, "Did I not tell you that with me you would never be able to have patience?"
76
قَالَإِنسَأَلْتُكَعَنشَىْءٍۭبَعْدَهَافَلَاتُصَـٰحِبْنِى ۖقَدْبَلَغْتَمِنلَّدُنِّىعُذْرًۭا٧٦
[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."
77
فَٱنطَلَقَاحَتَّىٰٓإِذَآأَتَيَآأَهْلَقَرْيَةٍٱسْتَطْعَمَآأَهْلَهَافَأَبَوْا۟أَنيُضَيِّفُوهُمَافَوَجَدَافِيهَاجِدَارًۭايُرِيدُأَنيَنقَضَّفَأَقَامَهُۥ ۖقَالَلَوْشِئْتَلَتَّخَذْتَعَلَيْهِأَجْرًۭا٧٧
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 [i.e., al-Khiḍr] restored it. [Moses] said, "If you wished, you could have taken for it a payment."
78
قَالَهَـٰذَافِرَاقُبَيْنِىوَبَيْنِكَ ۚسَأُنَبِّئُكَبِتَأْوِيلِمَالَمْتَسْتَطِععَّلَيْهِصَبْرًا٧٨
[Al-Khiḍr] said, "This is parting between me and you. I will inform you of the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience.
79
أَمَّاٱلسَّفِينَةُفَكَانَتْلِمَسَـٰكِينَيَعْمَلُونَفِىٱلْبَحْرِفَأَرَدتُّأَنْأَعِيبَهَاوَكَانَوَرَآءَهُممَّلِكٌۭيَأْخُذُكُلَّسَفِينَةٍغَصْبًۭا٧٩
As for the ship, 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] ship by force.
80
وَأَمَّاٱلْغُلَـٰمُفَكَانَأَبَوَاهُمُؤْمِنَيْنِفَخَشِينَآأَنيُرْهِقَهُمَاطُغْيَـٰنًۭاوَكُفْرًۭا٨٠
And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief.
81
فَأَرَدْنَآأَنيُبْدِلَهُمَارَبُّهُمَاخَيْرًۭامِّنْهُزَكَوٰةًۭوَأَقْرَبَرُحْمًۭا٨١
So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.
82
وَأَمَّاٱلْجِدَارُفَكَانَلِغُلَـٰمَيْنِيَتِيمَيْنِفِىٱلْمَدِينَةِوَكَانَتَحْتَهُۥكَنزٌۭلَّهُمَاوَكَانَأَبُوهُمَاصَـٰلِحًۭافَأَرَادَرَبُّكَأَنيَبْلُغَآأَشُدَّهُمَاوَيَسْتَخْرِجَاكَنزَهُمَارَحْمَةًۭمِّنرَّبِّكَ ۚوَمَافَعَلْتُهُۥعَنْأَمْرِى ۚذَٰلِكَتَأْوِيلُمَالَمْتَسْطِععَّلَيْهِصَبْرًۭا٨٢
And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure for them, and their father had been righteous. So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience."
83
وَيَسْـَٔلُونَكَعَنذِىٱلْقَرْنَيْنِ ۖقُلْسَأَتْلُوا۟عَلَيْكُممِّنْهُذِكْرًا٨٣
And they ask you, [O Muḥammad], about Dhul-Qarnayn. Say, "I will recite to you about him a report."
84
إِنَّامَكَّنَّالَهُۥفِىٱلْأَرْضِوَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمِنكُلِّشَىْءٍۢسَبَبًۭا٨٤
Indeed, We established him upon the earth, and We gave him from everything a way [i.e., means].
85
فَأَتْبَعَسَبَبًا٨٥
So he followed a way
86
حَتَّىٰٓإِذَابَلَغَمَغْرِبَٱلشَّمْسِوَجَدَهَاتَغْرُبُفِىعَيْنٍحَمِئَةٍۢوَوَجَدَعِندَهَاقَوْمًۭا ۗقُلْنَايَـٰذَاٱلْقَرْنَيْنِإِمَّآأَنتُعَذِّبَوَإِمَّآأَنتَتَّخِذَفِيهِمْحُسْنًۭا٨٦
Until, when he reached the setting of the sun [i.e., the west], he found it [as if] setting in a body of dark water, and he found near it a people. We [i.e., Allāh] said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness."
87
قَالَأَمَّامَنظَلَمَفَسَوْفَنُعَذِّبُهُۥثُمَّيُرَدُّإِلَىٰرَبِّهِۦفَيُعَذِّبُهُۥعَذَابًۭانُّكْرًۭا٨٧
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 [i.e., Hellfire].
88
وَأَمَّامَنْءَامَنَوَعَمِلَصَـٰلِحًۭافَلَهُۥجَزَآءًٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ۖوَسَنَقُولُلَهُۥمِنْأَمْرِنَايُسْرًۭا٨٨
But as for one who believes and does righteousness, he will have a reward of the best [i.e., Paradise], and we [i.e., Dhul-Qarnayn] will speak to him from our command with ease."
89
ثُمَّأَتْبَعَسَبَبًا٨٩
Then he followed a way
90
حَتَّىٰٓإِذَابَلَغَمَطْلِعَٱلشَّمْسِوَجَدَهَاتَطْلُعُعَلَىٰقَوْمٍۢلَّمْنَجْعَللَّهُممِّندُونِهَاسِتْرًۭا٩٠
Until, when he came to the rising of the sun [i.e., the east], he found it rising on a people for whom We had not made against it any shield.
91
كَذَٰلِكَوَقَدْأَحَطْنَابِمَالَدَيْهِخُبْرًۭا٩١
Thus. And We had encompassed [all] that he had in knowledge.
92
ثُمَّأَتْبَعَسَبَبًا٩٢
Then he followed a way
93
حَتَّىٰٓإِذَابَلَغَبَيْنَٱلسَّدَّيْنِوَجَدَمِندُونِهِمَاقَوْمًۭالَّايَكَادُونَيَفْقَهُونَقَوْلًۭا٩٣
Until, when he reached [a pass] between two mountains, he found beside them a people who could hardly understand [his] speech.
94
قَالُوا۟يَـٰذَاٱلْقَرْنَيْنِإِنَّيَأْجُوجَوَمَأْجُوجَمُفْسِدُونَفِىٱلْأَرْضِفَهَلْنَجْعَلُلَكَخَرْجًاعَلَىٰٓأَنتَجْعَلَبَيْنَنَاوَبَيْنَهُمْسَدًّۭا٩٤
They said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, indeed Gog and Magog are [great] corrupters in the land. So may we assign for you an expenditure that you might make between us and them a barrier?"
95
قَالَمَامَكَّنِّىفِيهِرَبِّىخَيْرٌۭفَأَعِينُونِىبِقُوَّةٍأَجْعَلْبَيْنَكُمْوَبَيْنَهُمْرَدْمًا٩٥
He said, "That in which my Lord has established me is better [than what you offer], but assist me with strength [i.e., manpower]; I will make between you and them a dam.
96
ءَاتُونِىزُبَرَٱلْحَدِيدِ ۖحَتَّىٰٓإِذَاسَاوَىٰبَيْنَٱلصَّدَفَيْنِقَالَٱنفُخُوا۟ ۖحَتَّىٰٓإِذَاجَعَلَهُۥنَارًۭاقَالَءَاتُونِىٓأُفْرِغْعَلَيْهِقِطْرًۭا٩٦
Bring me bars of iron" - until, when he had leveled [them] between the two mountain walls, he said, "Blow [with bellows]," until when he had made it [like] fire, he said, "Bring me, that I may pour over it molten copper."
97
فَمَاٱسْطَـٰعُوٓا۟أَنيَظْهَرُوهُوَمَاٱسْتَطَـٰعُوا۟لَهُۥنَقْبًۭا٩٧
So they [i.e., Gog and Magog] were unable to pass over it, nor were they able [to effect] in it any penetration.
98
قَالَهَـٰذَارَحْمَةٌۭمِّنرَّبِّى ۖفَإِذَاجَآءَوَعْدُرَبِّىجَعَلَهُۥدَكَّآءَ ۖوَكَانَوَعْدُرَبِّىحَقًّۭا٩٨
[Dhul-Qarnayn] said, "This is a mercy from my Lord; but when the promise of my Lord comes [i.e., approaches], He will make it level, and ever is the promise of my Lord true."
99
۞ وَتَرَكْنَابَعْضَهُمْيَوْمَئِذٍۢيَمُوجُفِىبَعْضٍۢ ۖوَنُفِخَفِىٱلصُّورِفَجَمَعْنَـٰهُمْجَمْعًۭا٩٩
And We will leave them that day surging over each other, and [then] the Horn will be blown, and We will assemble them in [one] assembly.
100
وَعَرَضْنَاجَهَنَّمَيَوْمَئِذٍۢلِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَعَرْضًا١٠٠
And We will present Hell that Day to the disbelievers, on display -
101
ٱلَّذِينَكَانَتْأَعْيُنُهُمْفِىغِطَآءٍعَنذِكْرِىوَكَانُوا۟لَايَسْتَطِيعُونَسَمْعًا١٠١
Those whose eyes had been within a cover [removed] from My remembrance, and they were not able to hear.
102
أَفَحَسِبَٱلَّذِينَكَفَرُوٓا۟أَنيَتَّخِذُوا۟عِبَادِىمِندُونِىٓأَوْلِيَآءَ ۚإِنَّآأَعْتَدْنَاجَهَنَّمَلِلْكَـٰفِرِينَنُزُلًۭا١٠٢
Then do those who disbelieve think that they can take My servants instead of Me as allies? Indeed, We have prepared Hell for the disbelievers as a lodging.
103
قُلْهَلْنُنَبِّئُكُمبِٱلْأَخْسَرِينَأَعْمَـٰلًا١٠٣
Say, [O Muḥammad], "Shall we [believers] inform you of the greatest losers as to [their] deeds?
104
ٱلَّذِينَضَلَّسَعْيُهُمْفِىٱلْحَيَوٰةِٱلدُّنْيَاوَهُمْيَحْسَبُونَأَنَّهُمْيُحْسِنُونَصُنْعًا١٠٤
[They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work."
105
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَٱلَّذِينَكَفَرُوا۟بِـَٔايَـٰتِرَبِّهِمْوَلِقَآئِهِۦفَحَبِطَتْأَعْمَـٰلُهُمْفَلَانُقِيمُلَهُمْيَوْمَٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِوَزْنًۭا١٠٥
Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in [their] meeting Him, so their deeds have become worthless; and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any weight [i.e., importance].
106
ذَٰلِكَجَزَآؤُهُمْجَهَنَّمُبِمَاكَفَرُوا۟وَٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ءَايَـٰتِىوَرُسُلِىهُزُوًا١٠٦
That is their recompense - Hell - for what they denied and [because] they took My signs and My messengers in ridicule.
107
إِنَّٱلَّذِينَءَامَنُوا۟وَعَمِلُوا۟ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِكَانَتْلَهُمْجَنَّـٰتُٱلْفِرْدَوْسِنُزُلًا١٠٧
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - they will have the Gardens of Paradise as a lodging,
108
خَـٰلِدِينَفِيهَالَايَبْغُونَعَنْهَاحِوَلًۭا١٠٨
Wherein they abide eternally. They will not desire from it any transfer.
109
قُللَّوْكَانَٱلْبَحْرُمِدَادًۭالِّكَلِمَـٰتِرَبِّىلَنَفِدَٱلْبَحْرُقَبْلَأَنتَنفَدَكَلِمَـٰتُرَبِّىوَلَوْجِئْنَابِمِثْلِهِۦمَدَدًۭا١٠٩
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 in [continual] supplement."
