23:31

ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْنًا ءَاخَرِينَ
Summaa anshaana mim ba'dihim qarnan aakhareen
Then, after them, We brought forth another generation;

23:32

فَأَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِمْ رَسُولًۭا مِّنْهُمْ أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥٓ ۖ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
Fa arsalnaa feehim Rasoolam minhum ani'budul laaha maa lakum min ilaahin ghairuhoo afalaa tattaqoon
and We sent among them a Messenger from among themselves, saying: "Serve Allah; you have no god other than He. Do you have no fear?"

23:33

وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِلِقَآءِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَأَتْرَفْنَٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٌۭ مِّثْلُكُمْ يَأْكُلُ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهُ وَيَشْرَبُ مِمَّا تَشْرَبُونَ
Wa qaalal mala-u min qawmihil lazeena kafaroo wa kazzaboo bi liqaaa'il Aakhirati wa atrafnaahum fil hayaatid dunyaa maa haazaaa illaa basharum mislukum yaakulu mimmaa taakuloona minhu wa yashrabu mimmaa tashraboon
The notables among his people who had refused to believe and who denied the meeting of the Hereafter, and those whom We had endowed with ease and comfort in this life, cried out: "This is no other than a mortal like yourselves who eats what you eat and drinks what you drink.

23:34

وَلَئِنْ أَطَعْتُم بَشَرًۭا مِّثْلَكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ إِذًۭا لَّخَٰسِرُونَ
Wa la'in at'atum basharam mislakum innakum izal lakhaasiroon
If you were to obey a human being like yourselves, you will certainly be losers.

23:35

أَيَعِدُكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ إِذَا مِتُّمْ وَكُنتُمْ تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَنَّكُم مُّخْرَجُونَ
A-Ya'idukum annakum izaa mittum wa kuntum turaabanw wa izaaman annakum mukhrajoon
Does he promise you that when you are dead and are reduced to dust and bones, you will be brought forth to life?

23:36

۞ هَيْهَاتَ هَيْهَاتَ لِمَا تُوعَدُونَ
Haihaata haihaata limaa too'adoon
Far-fetched, utterly far-fetched is what you are being promised.

23:37

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا ٱلدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوثِينَ
In hiya illaa hayaatunad dunyaa namootu wa nahyaa wa maa nahnu bimab'ooseen
There is no other life than the life of the world. We shall live here and here shall we die; and we are not going to be raised again.

23:38

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًۭا وَمَا نَحْنُ لَهُۥ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ
In huwa illaa rajulunif taraa 'alal laahi kazibanw wa maa nahnuu lahoo bimu'mineen
This man has forged a mere lie in the name of Allah and we shall never believe what he says."

23:39

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱنصُرْنِى بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ
Qaala Rabbin surnee bimaa kazzaboon
The Messenger said: "My Lord! Come to my help at their accusing me of lying."

23:40

قَالَ عَمَّا قَلِيلٍۢ لَّيُصْبِحُنَّ نَٰدِمِينَ
Qaala 'ammaa qaleelil la yusbihunna naadimeen
He answered: "A short while, and they shall be repenting."

23:41

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ بِٱلْحَقِّ فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمْ غُثَآءًۭ ۚ فَبُعْدًۭا لِّلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
Fa akhazat humus saihatu bilhaqqi faja'alnaahum ghusaaa'aa; fabu;dal lilqaw miz zaalimeen
Then a mighty blast quite justly overtook them, and We reduced them to a rubble. So away with the wrong-doing folk!

23:42

ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ قُرُونًا ءَاخَرِينَ
Summa anshaanaa mim ba'dihim quroonan aakhareen
Then, after them, We brought forth other generations.

23:43

مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ
Maa tasbiqu min ummatin ajalahaa wa maa yastaakhiroon
No nation can outstrip its term, nor can it put it back.

23:44

ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَا ۖ كُلَّ مَا جَآءَ أُمَّةًۭ رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُ ۚ فَأَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُم بَعْضًۭا وَجَعَلْنَٰهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ ۚ فَبُعْدًۭا لِّقَوْمٍۢ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Summa arsalnaa Rusulanaa tatraa kulla maa jaaa'a ummatar Rasooluhaa kazzabooh; fa atba'naa ba'dahum ba'danw wa ja'alnaahum ahaadees; fabu'dal liqawmil laa yu'minoon
Then We sent Our Messengers in succession. Whenever a Messenger came to his people they rejected him, calling him a liar. Thereupon, We made each people to follow the other (to its doom), reducing them to mere tales (of the past). Scourged be the people who do not believe!

23:45

ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَأَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍ
Summa arsalnaa Moosaa wa akhaahu Haaroona bi Aayaatinaa wa sultaanim mubeen
Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our Signs and a clear authority

23:46

إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا عَالِينَ
Ilaa Fir'awna wa mala'ihee fastakbaroo wa kaanoo qawman 'aaleem
to Pharaoh and to his chiefs, but they behaved superciliously and they were haughty.

23:47

فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لِبَشَرَيْنِ مِثْلِنَا وَقَوْمُهُمَا لَنَا عَٰبِدُونَ
Faqaaloo annu'minu libasharaini mislinaa wa qawmuhumaa lanaa 'aabidoon
They said: "Shall we put faith in two mortals like ourselves when their people are slaves to us?"

23:48

فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَكَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُهْلَكِينَ
Fakazzaboohumaa fakaanoo minal mmuhlakeen
So they rejected them, calling them liars, and they too eventually became of those that were destroyed.

23:49

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَٰبَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ
Wa laqad aatainaa Moosal Kitaaba la'allahum yahtadoon
And We gave Moses the Book that people might be guided by it.

23:50

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمَّهُۥٓ ءَايَةًۭ وَءَاوَيْنَٰهُمَآ إِلَىٰ رَبْوَةٍۢ ذَاتِ قَرَارٍۢ وَمَعِينٍۢ
Wa ja'alnab na Maryama wa ummahooo aayatannw wa aawainaahumaaa ilaa rabwatin zaati qaraarinw wa ma'een
And We made Mary's son, and his mother, a Sign, and We gave them refuge on a lofty ground, a peaceful site with springs flowing in it.

23:51

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرُّسُلُ كُلُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ وَٱعْمَلُوا۟ صَٰلِحًا ۖ إِنِّى بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌۭ
Yaaa aiyuhar Rusulu kuloo minat taiyibaati wa'maloo saalihan innee bimaa ta'maloona 'Aleem
Messengers! Partake of the things that are clean, and act righteously. I know well all that you do.

23:52

وَإِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦٓ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ وَأَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمْ فَٱتَّقُونِ
Wa inna haaziheee ummatukum ummatanw waahidatanw wa Ana Rabbukum fattaqoon
This community of yours is one community, and I am your Lord; so hold Me alone in fear.

23:53

فَتَقَطَّعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ زُبُرًۭا ۖ كُلُّ حِزْبٍۭ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ
Fataqatta'ooo amrahum bainahum zuburaa; kullu hizbim bimaa ladaihim farihoon
But people later cut up their religion into bits, each group rejoicing in what they have.

23:54

فَذَرْهُمْ فِى غَمْرَتِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
Fazarhum fee ghamratihim hattaa heen
So leave them immersed in their heedlessness till an appointed time.

23:55

أَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّمَا نُمِدُّهُم بِهِۦ مِن مَّالٍۢ وَبَنِينَ
A-yahsaboona annnamaa numiduhum bihee mimmaalinw wa baneen
Do they fancy that Our continuing to give them wealth and children (means) that

23:56

نُسَارِعُ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ ۚ بَل لَّا يَشْعُرُونَ
Nusaari'u lahum fil khairaat; bal laa yash'uroon
We are busy lavishing on them all kinds of good? Nay, they do not perceive the reality of the matter.

23:57

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ
Innal lazeena hum min khashyati Rabbihim mushfiqoon
Surely those who stand in awe for fear of their Lord,

23:58

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ
Wallazeena hum bi Aayaati Rabbihim yu'minoon
who have full faith in the Signs of their Lord;

23:59

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِرَبِّهِمْ لَا يُشْرِكُونَ
Wallazeena hum bi Rabbihim laa yushrikoon
who associate none with their Lord in His Divinity,

23:60

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَآ ءَاتَوا۟ وَّقُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ رَٰجِعُونَ
Wallazeena yu'toona maaa aataw wa quloobuhum wajilatun annahum ilaa Rabbihim raaji'oon
who give, whatever they give in charity, with their hearts trembling at the thought that they are destined to return to their Lord;
