بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
۞ أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْسِرِينَ
Awful kaila wa laa takoonoo minal mukhsireen
Give a full measure and be not of those who diminish;
وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ
Wa zinoo bilqistaasil mustaqeem
And weigh (things) with a right balance,
وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ
Wa laa tabkhasun naasa ashyaaa 'ahum wa laa ta'saw fil ardi mufsideen
And do not wrong men of their things, and do not act corruptly in the earth, making mischief.
وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلْجِبِلَّةَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Wattaqul lazee khalaqakum waljibillatal awwaleen
And guard against (the punishment of) Him who created you and the former nations.
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ
Qaalooo innamaa anta minal musahhareen
They said: You are only of those deluded;
وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌۭ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ
Wa maaa anta illaa basharum mislunaa wa innazunnuka laminal kaazibeen
And you are naught but a mortal like ourselves, and we know you to be certainly of the liars.
فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًۭا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ
Fa asqit 'alainaa kisafam minas samaaa'i in kunta minas saadiqeen
Therefore cause a portion of the heaven to come down upon us, if you are one of the truthful.
قَالَ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
Qaala Rabbeee a'lamu bimaa ta'maloon
He said: My Lord knows best what you do.
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
Fakazzaboohu fa akhazahum 'azaabu Yawmiz zullah; innahoo kaana 'azaaba Yawmin 'Azeem
But they called him a liar, so the punishment of the day of covering overtook them; surely it was the punishment of a grievous day.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Inna fee zaalika la Aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen
Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Wa inna Rabbaka la huwal 'Azeezur Raheem
And most surely your Lord is Mighty, the Merciful.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Wa innahoo latanzeelu Rabbil 'aalameen
And most surely this is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ
Nazala bihir Roohul Ameen
The Faithful Spirit has descended with it,
عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ
'Alaa qalbika litakoona minal munzireen
Upon your heart that you may be of the warners
بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
Bilisaanin 'Arabiyyim mubeen
In plain Arabic language.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Wa innahoo lafee Zuburil awwaleen
And most surely the same is in the scriptures of the ancients.
أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
Awalam yakul lahum Aayatan ai ya'lamahoo 'ulamaaa'u Baneee Israaa'eel
Is it not a sign to them that the learned men of the Israelites know it?
وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ
Wa law nazzalnaahu 'alaa ba'dil a'jameen
And if we had revealed it to any of the foreigners
فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ
Faqara ahoo 'alaihim maa kaanoo bihee mu'mineen
So that he should have recited it to them, they would not have believed therein.
كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
Kazaalika salaknaahu fee quloobil mujrimeen
Thus have We caused it to enter into the hearts of the guilty.
لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ
Laa yu'minoona bihee hattaa yarawul 'azaabal aleem
They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.
فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةًۭ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
Fayaatiyahum baghtatanw wa hum laa yash'uroon
And it shall come to them all of a sudden, while they shall not perceive;
فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ
Fa yaqooloo hal nahnu munzaroon
Then they will say: Shall we be respited?
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Aafabi 'azaabinaa yasta'jiloon
What! do they still seek to hasten on Our punishment?
أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَٰهُمْ سِنِينَ
Aara'aita im matta'naahum sineen
Have you then considered if We let them enjoy themselves for years,
ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ
Summa jaaa'ahum maa kaanoo yoo'adoon
Then there comes to them that with which they are threatened,
مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ
Maaa aghnaaa 'anhum maa kaanoo yumaatoo'oon
That which they were made to enjoy shall not avail them?
وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ
Wa maaa ahlaknaa min qaryatin illaa lahaa munziroon
And We did not destroy any town but it had (its) warners,
ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ
Zikraa wa maa kunnaa zaalimeen
To remind, and We are never unjust.
وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ
Wa maa tanazzalat bihish Shayaateen
And the Shaitans have not come down with it.
Meccan
