بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ
Qaala famaa khatbukum ayyuhal mursaloon
Abraham said: “Envoys (of Allah), what is your errand?”
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍۢ مُّجْرِمِينَ
Qaalooo innaaa ursilnaaa ilaa qawmim mujrimeen
They replied: “Behold, we have been sent to a wicked people
لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةًۭ مِّن طِينٍۢ
Linursila 'alaihim hijaa ratam min teen
that we may unleash a shower of clay-stones
مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ
Musawwamatan 'inda rabbika lilmusrifeen
marked by your Lord upon those who go beyond the limits.”
فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Fa akhrajnaa man kaana feehaa minal mu'mineen
Then We evacuated there from all the believers
فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ
Famaa wajadnaa feehaa ghaira baitim minal muslimeen
– and We did not find there any, apart from a single house of Muslims –
وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةًۭ لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ
Wa taraknaa feehaaa aayatal lillazeena yakhaafoonal 'azaabal aleem
and We left therein a Sign for those who fear the grievous chastisement.
وَفِى مُوسَىٰٓ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
Wa fee Moosaaa iz arsalnaahu ilaa Fir'wna bisultaa nim mubeen
There is also a Sign for you in the story of Moses when We sent him with a clear authority to Pharaoh.
فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَٰحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌۭ
Fatawalla biruknihee wa qaala saahirun aw majnoon
But Pharaoh turned away, showing arrogance on account of his power, and said (about Moses): “He is either a sorcerer or a madman.”
فَأَخَذْنَٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ
Fa akhaznaahu wa junoo dahoo fanabaznaahum fil yammi wa huwa muleem
So We seized him and his hosts, and cast them into the sea. He became an object of much blame.
وَفِى عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلْعَقِيمَ
Wa fee 'Aadin iz arsalnaa 'alaihimur reehal'aqeem
There is also a Sign for you in (the story of) Ad, when We let loose upon them an ominous wind
مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ
Maa tazaru min shai'in atat 'alaihi illaa ja'alat hu karrameem
that left nothing that it came upon without reducing it to rubble.
وَفِى ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ
Wa fee Samooda iz qeela lahum tamatta''oo hattaa heen
There is also a Sign for you in (the story of) Thamud. They were told: “Enjoy yourselves for a while.”
فَعَتَوْا۟ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ
Fa'ataw 'an amri Rabbihim fa akhazal humus saa'iqatu wa hum yanzuroon
But they brazenly disobeyed their Lord's command, and then a sudden chastisement overtook them while they looked on.
فَمَا ٱسْتَطَٰعُوا۟ مِن قِيَامٍۢ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِينَ
Famas tataa'oo min qiyaaminw wa maa kaanoo muntasireen
They were unable even to stand up or protect themselves.
وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍۢ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًۭا فَٰسِقِينَ
Wa qawma Noohim min qablu innahum kaano qawman faasiqeen
Before all these We destroyed the people of Noah: they were a wicked people.
وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَٰهَا بِأَيْي۟دٍۢ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ
Wassamaaa'a banainaa haa bi aydinw wa innaa lamoosi'oon
And heaven – We made it with Our Own Power and We have the Power to do so.
وَٱلْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَٰهَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْمَٰهِدُونَ
Wal arda farashnaahaa fani'mal maahidoon
And the earth – We spread it out, and how well have We smoothed it!
وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ
Wa min kulli shai'in khalaqnaa zawjaini la'allakum tazakkaroon
And of everything We have created pairs; perhaps you will take heed.
فَفِرُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Fafirrooo ilal laahi innee lakum minhu nazeerum mubeen
Flee, therefore, to Allah. Surely I am a clear warner to you from Him;
وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Wa laa taj'aloo ma'al laahi ilaahan aakhara innee lakum minhu nazeerum mubeen
and do not set up any deity with Allah. Surely I am a clear warner to you from Him.
كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ
Kazaalika maaa atal lazeena min qablihim mir Rasoolin illaa qaaloo saahirun aw majnoon
Thus has it been (in the past): never did a Messenger come to the nations that preceded them but they said: “(He is) a sorcerer, or a mad-man.”
أَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِهِۦ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌۭ طَاغُونَ
Atawaasaw bih; bal hum qawmun taaghoon
Have they arrived at a common understanding concerning this? No; but they are a people given to transgression.
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍۢ
Fatawalla 'anhum famaaa anta bimaloom
So turn your attention away from them; you shall incur no blame.
وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Wa zakkir fa innaz zikraa tanfa'ul mu'mineen
Do, however, keep exhorting them; for exhortation benefits those endowed with faith.
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
Wa maa khalaqtul jinna wal insa illaa liya'budoon
I created the jinn and humans for nothing else but that they may serve Me;
مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍۢ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ
Maaa ureedu minhum mir rizqinw wa maaa ureedu anyyut'imoon
I desire from them no provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ
Innal laaha Huwar Razzaaqu Zul Quwwatil Mateen
Surely Allah is the Bestower of all provision, the Lord of all power, the Strong.
فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبًۭا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَٰبِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ
Fa inna lillazeena zalamoo zanoobam misla zanoobi ashaabihim falaa yasta'jiloon
The wrong-doers shall receive a portion of the chastisements as their fellows (of yore). So let them not rush Me.
فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن يَوْمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ
Fawailul lillazeena kafaroo miny yawmihimul lazee yoo'adoon
Woe, then, betide those who disbelieved in that Day of theirs which they are being asked to hold in dread.
