سُورَةُ طه

Ta, Ha.

Taa-Haa

We have not sent down to you the Qur'an that you be distressed

Maaa anzalnaa 'alaikal Qur-aana litashqaaa

But only as a reminder for those who fear [Allah] -

Illaa tazkiratal limany yakshaa

A revelation from He who created the earth and highest heavens,

Tanzeelam mimman khalaqal arda was samaawaatil 'ulaa

The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established.

Ar-Rahmaanu 'alal 'Arshis tawaa

To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth and what is between them and what is under the soil.

Lahoo maa fis samaawaati wa maa fil ardi wa maa bainahumaa wa maa tahtassaraa

And if you speak aloud - then indeed, He knows the secret and what is [even] more hidden.

Wa in tajhar bilqawli fainnahoo ya'lamus sirra wa akhfaa

Allah - there is no deity except Him. To Him belong the best names.

Allaahu laaa ilasha illaa Huwa lahul Asmaaa'ul Husnaa

And has the story of Moses reached you? -

Wa hal ataaka hadeesu Moosa

When he saw a fire and said to his family, "Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire; perhaps I can bring you a torch or find at the fire some guidance."

Iz ra aa naaran faqaala li alhlihim kusooo inneee aanastu naaral la'alleee aateekum minhaa biqabasin aw ajidu 'alan naari hudaa

And when he came to it, he was called, "O Moses,

Falammaaa ataahaa noodiya yaa Moosaa

Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the sacred valley of Tuwa.

Inneee Ana Rabbuka fakhla' na'laika innaka bilwaadil muqaddasi Tuwaa

And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed [to you].

Wa anakhtartuka fastami' limaa yoohaa

Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.

Innaneee Anal laahu laaa ilaaha illaa Ana fa'budnee wa aqimis-salaata lizikree

Indeed, the Hour is coming - I almost conceal it - so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives.

Innas Saa'ata aatiyatun akaadu ukhfeehaa litujzaa kullu nafsim bimaa tas'aa

So do not let one avert you from it who does not believe in it and follows his desire, for you [then] would perish.

Falaa yasuddannnaka 'anhaa mal laa yu'minu bihaa wattaba'a hawaahu fatardaa

And what is that in your right hand, O Moses?"

Wa maa tilka bi yamee nika yaa Moosaa

He said, "It is my staff; I lean upon it, and I bring down leaves for my sheep and I have therein other uses."

Qaala hiya 'asaaya atawakka'u alaihaa wa ahushshu bihaa 'alaa ghanamee wa liya feehaa ma aaribu ukhraa

[Allah] said, "Throw it down, O Moses."

Qaala alqihaa yaa Moosaa

So he threw it down, and thereupon it was a snake, moving swiftly.

Fa-alqaahaa fa -izaa hiya haiyatun tas'aa

[Allah] said, "Seize it and fear not; We will return it to its former condition.

Qaala khuzhaa wa laa ta khaf sanu'eeduhaa seeratahal oolaa

And draw in your hand to your side; it will come out white without disease - another sign,

Wadmum yadaka ilaa janaahika takhruj baidaaa'a min ghairi sooo'in Aayatan ukhraa

That We may show you [some] of Our greater signs.

Linuriyaka min Aayaatinal Kubra

Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed."

Izhab ilaa Fir'awna innahoo taghaa

[Moses] said, "My Lord, expand for me my breast [with assurance]

Qaala Rabbish rah lee sadree

And ease for me my task

Wa yassir leee amree

And untie the knot from my tongue

Wahlul 'uqdatam milli saanee

That they may understand my speech.

Yafqahoo qawlee

And appoint for me a minister from my family -

Waj'al lee wazeeram min ahlee

Aaron, my brother.

Haaroona akhee

Increase through him my strength

Ushdud biheee azree

And let him share my task

Wa ashrik hu feee amree

That we may exalt You much

Kai nusabbihaka kaseeraa

And remember You much.

Wa nazkuraka kaseeraa

Indeed, You are of us ever Seeing."

Innaka kunta binaa baseeraa

[Allah] said, "You have been granted your request, O Moses.

Qaala qad ooteeta su'laka yaa Moosaa

And We had already conferred favor upon you another time,

Wa laqad manannaa 'alaika marratan ukhraaa

When We inspired to your mother what We inspired,

Iz awhainaaa ilaaa ummika maa yoohaaa

[Saying], 'Cast him into the chest and cast it into the river, and the river will throw it onto the bank; there will take him an enemy to Me and an enemy to him.' And I bestowed upon you love from Me that you would be brought up under My eye.

Aniqzifeehi fit Taabooti faqzifeehi fil yammi fal yul qihil yammu bis saahili yaakhuzhu 'aduwwul lee wa 'aduwwul lah; wa alqaitu 'alaika mahabbatam minnee wa litusna'a 'alaa 'ainee

[And We favored you] when your sister went and said, 'Shall I direct you to someone who will be responsible for him?' So We restored you to your mother that she might be content and not grieve. And you killed someone, but We saved you from retaliation and tried you with a [severe] trial. And you remained [some] years among the people of Madyan. Then you came [here] at the decreed time, O Moses.

Iz tamsheee ukhtuka fataqoolu hal adullukum 'alaa mai yakfuluhoo faraja 'naaka ilaaa ummika kai taqarra 'ainuhaa wa laa tahzan; wa qatalta nafsan fanajjainaaka minal ghammi wa fatannaaka futoonaa; falabista sineena feee ahli Madyana summa ji'ta 'alaa qadariny yaa Moosa

And I produced you for Myself.

Wastana' tuka linafsee

Go, you and your brother, with My signs and do not slacken in My remembrance.

Izhab anta wa akhooka bi Aayaatee wa laa taniyaa fee zikree

Go, both of you, to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

Izhabaaa ilaa Fir'awna innahoo taghaa

And speak to him with gentle speech that perhaps he may be reminded or fear [Allah]."

Faqoolaa lahoo qawlal laiyinal la allahoo yatazakkkaru 'aw yakhshaa

They said, "Our Lord, indeed we are afraid that he will hasten [punishment] against us or that he will transgress."

Qaalaa Rabbanaaa innanaa nakhaafu ai yafruta 'alainaaa aw ai yatghaa

[Allah] said, "Fear not. Indeed, I am with you both; I hear and I see.

Qaala laa takhaafaaa innanee ma'akumaa asma'u wa araa

So go to him and say, 'Indeed, we are messengers of your Lord, so send with us the Children of Israel and do not torment them. We have come to you with a sign from your Lord. And peace will be upon he who follows the guidance.

Faatiyaahu faqoolaaa innaa Rasoolaa Rabbika fa arsil ma'anaa Banee Israaa'eela wa laa tu'azzibhum qad ji'naaka bi Aayatim mir Rabbika wassa laamu 'alaa manit taba'al hudaa

Indeed, it has been revealed to us that the punishment will be upon whoever denies and turns away.' "

Innaa qad oohiya ilainaaa annnal 'azaaba 'alaa man kaz zaba wa tawalla

[Pharaoh] said, "So who is the Lord of you two, O Moses?"

Qaala famar Rabbu kumaa yaa Moosa

He said, "Our Lord is He who gave each thing its form and then guided [it]."

Qaala Rabbunal lazeee a'taa kulla shai'in khalqahoo summa hadaa

[Pharaoh] said, "Then what is the case of the former generations?"

Qaala famaa baalul quroonil oolaa

[Moses] said, "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a record. My Lord neither errs nor forgets."

Qaala 'ilmuhaa 'inda Rabee fee kitaab, laa yadillu Rabbee wa laa yansaa

[It is He] who has made for you the earth as a bed [spread out] and inserted therein for you roadways and sent down from the sky, rain and produced thereby categories of various plants.

Allazee ja'ala lakumul arda mahdanw wa salaka lakum feehaa subulanw wa anzala minas samaaa'i maaa'an fa akhrajnaa biheee azwaajam min nabaatin shatta

Eat [therefrom] and pasture your livestock. Indeed, in that are signs for those of intelligence.

Kuloo war'aw an'aamakum; inna fee zaalika la Aayaatil li ulin nuhaa

From the earth We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time.

Minhaa khalaqnaakum wa feehaa nu'eedukum wa minhaa nukhrijukum taaratan ukhraa

And We certainly showed Pharaoh Our signs - all of them - but he denied and refused.

Wa laqad arainaahu Aayaatinaa kullahaa fakaz zaba wa abaa

He said, "Have you come to us to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moses?

Qaala aji'tanaa litukhri janaa min ardinaa bisihrika yaa Moosa

Then we will surely bring you magic like it, so make between us and you an appointment, which we will not fail to keep and neither will you, in a place assigned."

Falanaatiyannaka bisihrim mislihee faj'al bainanaa wa bainaka maw'idal laa nukhlifuhoo nahnu wa laaa anta makaanan suwaa

[Moses] said, "Your appointment is on the day of the festival when the people assemble at mid-morning."

Qaala maw'idukum yawmuz zeenati wa ai yuhsharan naasu duhaa

So Pharaoh went away, put together his plan, and then came [to Moses].

Fatawallaa Fir'awnu fajjama'a kaidahoo summa ataa

Moses said to the magicians summoned by Pharaoh, "Woe to you! Do not invent a lie against Allah or He will exterminate you with a punishment; and he has failed who invents [such falsehood]."

Qaala lahum Moosaa wailakum laa taftaroo 'alal laahi kaziban fa yus hitakum bi 'azaab, wa qad khaaba manif taraa

So they disputed over their affair among themselves and concealed their private conversation.

Fatanaaza'ooo amrahum bainahum wa asarrun najwaa

They said, "Indeed, these are two magicians who want to drive you out of your land with their magic and do away with your most exemplary way.

Qaalooo in haaazaani lasaahiraani yureedaani ai yukhrijaakum min ardikum bisihrihimaa wa yazhabaa bitareeqatikumul muslaa

So resolve upon your plan and then come [forward] in line. And he has succeeded today who overcomes."

Fa ajmi'oo kaidakum summma'too saffaa; wa qad aflahal yawma manis ta'laa

They said, "O Moses, either you throw or we will be the first to throw."

Qaaloo yaa Moosaaa immaaa an tulqiya wa immaaa an nakoona awala man alqaa

He said, "Rather, you throw." And suddenly their ropes and staffs seemed to him from their magic that they were moving [like snakes].

Qaala bal alqoo fa izaa hibaaluhum wa 'isiyyuhum yuhaiyalu ilaihi min sihrihim annahaa tas'aa

And he sensed within himself apprehension, did Moses.

Fa awjasa fee nafsihee kheefatam Moosa

Allah said, "Fear not. Indeed, it is you who are superior.

Qulnaa laa takhaf innaka antal a'laa

And throw what is in your right hand; it will swallow up what they have crafted. What they have crafted is but the trick of a magician, and the magician will not succeed wherever he is."

Wa alqi maa fee yamee nika talqaf maa sana'oo; innamaa sana'oo kaidu saahir; wa laa yuflihus saahiru haisu ataa

So the magicians fell down in prostration. They said, "We have believed in the Lord of Aaron and Moses."

Fa ulqiyas saharatu sujjadan qaalooo aamannaa bi Rabbi Haaroona wa Moosa

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic. So I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you on the trunks of palm trees, and you will surely know which of us is more severe in [giving] punishment and more enduring."

Qaala aamantum lahoo qabla an aazana lakum; innahoo lakabeerukumul lazee 'allama kumus sihra fala uqatti'anna aidiyakum wa arjulakum min khilaafinw wa la usallibannakum fee juzoo'in nakhli wa lata'lamunna aiyunaaa ashaddu 'azaabanw wa abqaa

They said, "Never will we prefer you over what has come to us of clear proofs and [over] He who created us. So decree whatever you are to decree. You can only decree for this worldly life.

Qaaloo lan nu'siraka 'alaa maa jaaa'anaa minal baiyinaati wallazee fataranaa faqdi maaa anta qaad; innamaa taqdee haazihil hayaatad dunyaa

Indeed, we have believed in our Lord that He may forgive us our sins and what you compelled us [to do] of magic. And Allah is better and more enduring."

Innaaa aamannaa bi Rabbinaa liyaghfira lanaa khataayaanaa wa maaa akrahtanaa 'alaihi minas sihr; wallaahu khairunw waabqaa

Indeed, whoever comes to his Lord as a criminal - indeed, for him is Hell; he will neither die therein nor live.

Innahoo mai yaati Rabbahoo mujriman fa inna lahoo Jahannama laa yamotu feehaa wa laa yahyaa

But whoever comes to Him as a believer having done righteous deeds - for those will be the highest degrees [in position]:

Wa mai yaatihee mu'minan qad 'amilas saalihaati fa ulaaa'ika lahumud dara jaatul 'ulaa

Gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. And that is the reward of one who purifies himself.

Jannaatu 'Adnin tajree min tahtihal anhaaru khaalideena feehaa; wa zaalika jazaaa'ua man tazakka

And We had inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants and strike for them a dry path through the sea; you will not fear being overtaken [by Pharaoh] nor be afraid [of drowning]."

Wa laqad awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa an asri bi'ibaadee fadrib lahum tareeqan fil bahri yabasal laa takhaafu darakanw wa laa takhshaa

So Pharaoh pursued them with his soldiers, and there covered them from the sea that which covered them,

Fa atba'ahum Fir'awnu bijunoodihee faghashiyahum minal yammmi maa ghashi yahum

And Pharaoh led his people astray and did not guide [them].

wa adalla fir'awnu qawmahoo wa maa hadaa

O Children of Israel, We delivered you from your enemy, and We made an appointment with you at the right side of the mount, and We sent down to you manna and quails,

Yaa Baneee Israaa'eela qad anjainaakum min 'aduw wikum wa wa'adnaakum jaanibat Tooril aimana wa nazzalnaa 'alaikumul Manna was Salwaa

[Saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you and do not transgress [or oppress others] therein, lest My anger should descend upon you. And he upon whom My anger descends has certainly fallen."

Kuloo min taiyibaati maa razaqnaakum wa laa tatghaw feehi fa yahilla 'alaikum ghadabee wa mai yahlil 'alaihi ghadabee faqad hawaa

But indeed, I am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes and does righteousness and then continues in guidance.

Wa innee la Ghaffaarul liman taaba wa aamana wa 'amila saalihan summah tadaa

[Allah] said, "And what made you hasten from your people, O Moses?"

Wa maaa a'jalaka 'an qawmika yaa Moosa

He said, "They are close upon my tracks, and I hastened to You, my Lord, that You be pleased."

Qaala hum ulaaa'i 'alaaa asaree wa 'ajiltu ilaika Rabbi litardaa

[Allah] said, "But indeed, We have tried your people after you [departed], and the Samiri has led them astray."

Qaala fa innaa qad fatannaa qawmaka mim ba'dika wa adallahumus Saamiriyy

So Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved. He said, "O my people, did your Lord not make you a good promise? Then, was the time [of its fulfillment] too long for you, or did you wish that wrath from your Lord descend upon you, so you broke your promise [of obedience] to me?"

Faraja's Moosaaa ilaa qawmihee ghadbaana asifaa; qaala yaa qawmi alam ya'idkum Rabbukum wa'dan hasanaa; afataala 'alaikumul 'ahdu am arattum ai yahilla 'alaikum ghadabum mir Rabbikum fa akhlaftum maw'idee

They said, "We did not break our promise to you by our will, but we were made to carry burdens from the ornaments of the people [of Pharaoh], so we threw them [into the fire], and thus did the Samiri throw."

Qaaloo maaa akhlafnaa maw'idaka bimalkinna wa laakinna hummilnaaa awzaaram min zeenatil qawmi faqazafnaahaa fakazaalika alqas Saamiriyy

And he extracted for them [the statue of] a calf which had a lowing sound, and they said, "This is your god and the god of Moses, but he forgot."

Fa akhraja lahum 'ijlan jasadal lahoo khuwaarun faqaaloo haazaaa ilaahukum wa ilaahu Moosaa fanasee

Did they not see that it could not return to them any speech and that it did not possess for them any harm or benefit?

Afalaa yarawna allaa yarji'u ilaihim qawlanw wa laa yamliku lahum darranw wa laa naf'aa

And Aaron had already told them before [the return of Moses], "O my people, you are only being tested by it, and indeed, your Lord is the Most Merciful, so follow me and obey my order."

Wa laqad qaala lahum Haaroonu min qablu yaa qawmi innamaa futintum bihee wa inna Rabbakumur Rahmaanu fattabi'oonee wa atee'ooo amree

They said, "We will never cease being devoted to the calf until Moses returns to us."

Qaaloo lan nabraha 'alaihi 'aakifeena hattaa yarji'a ilainaa Moosaa

[Moses] said, "O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them going astray,

Qaala Yaa Haaroonu maa mana 'aka iz ra aitahum dallooo

From following me? Then have you disobeyed my order?"

Allaa tattabi'ani afa'asaita amree

[Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, do not seize [me] by my beard or by my head. Indeed, I feared that you would say, 'You caused division among the Children of Israel, and you did not observe [or await] my word.' "

Qaala yabna'umma laa taakhuz bilihyatee wa laa biraasee innee khashetu an taqoola farraqta baina Baneee Israaa'eela wa lam tarqub qawlee

[Moses] said, "And what is your case, O Samiri?"

Qaala famaa khatbuka yaa Saamiriyy

He said, "I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful [of dust] from the track of the messenger and threw it, and thus did my soul entice me."

Qaala basurtu bimaa lam yabsuroo bihee faqabadtu qabdatam min asarir Rasooli fanabaztuhaa wa kazaalika sawwalat lee nafsee

[Moses] said, "Then go. And indeed, it is [decreed] for you in [this] life to say, 'No contact.' And indeed, you have an appointment [in the Hereafter] you will not fail to keep. And look at your 'god' to which you remained devoted. We will surely burn it and blow it into the sea with a blast.

Qaala fazhab fa inna laka fil hayaati an taqoola laa misaasa wa inna laka maw'idal lan tukhlafahoo wanzur ilaaa ilaahikal lazee zalta 'alaihi 'aakifaa; lanuharriqannnahoo summa lanansifanahoo fil yammi nasfaa

Your god is only Allah, except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge."

Innamaaa ilaahukkumul laahul lazee laa ilaaha illaa Hoo; wasi'a kulla shai'in ilmaa

Thus, [O Muhammad], We relate to you from the news of what has preceded. And We have certainly given you from Us the Qur'an.

Kazaalika naqussu 'alaika min ambaaa'i maa qad sabaq; wa qad aatainaaka mil ladunnaa Zikraa

Whoever turns away from it - then indeed, he will bear on the Day of Resurrection a burden,

Man a'rada 'anhu, fa innahoo yahmilu Yawmal Qiyaamati wizraa

[Abiding] eternally therein, and evil it is for them on the Day of Resurrection as a load -

Khaalideena feehi wa saaa'a lahum Yawmal Qiyaamati himlaa

The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed.

Yawma yunfakhu fissoori wa nahshurul mujrimeena Yawma 'izin zurqaa

They will murmur among themselves, "You remained not but ten [days in the world]."

Yatakhaafatoona bainahum il labistum illaa 'ashraa

We are most knowing of what they say when the best of them in manner will say, "You remained not but one day."

nahnu a'lamu bimaa yaqooloona iz yaqoolu amsaluhum tareeqatan illabistum illaa yawmaa

And they ask you about the mountains, so say, "My Lord will blow them away with a blast.

Wa yas'aloonaka 'anil jibaali faqul yansifuhaa Rabbee nasfaa

And He will leave the earth a level plain;

Fa yazaruhaa qaa'an safsafaa

You will not see therein a depression or an elevation."

Laa taraa feehaa 'iwajanw wa laaa amtaa

That Day, everyone will follow [the call of] the Caller [with] no deviation therefrom, and [all] voices will be stilled before the Most Merciful, so you will not hear except a whisper [of footsteps].

Yawma iziny yattabi'oonad daa'iya laa 'iwaja lahoo wa khasha'atil aswaatu lir Rahmaani falaa tasma'u illaa hamsaa

That Day, no intercession will benefit except [that of] one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word.

Yawma 'izil laa tanfa'ush shafaa'atu illaa man azina lahur Rahmaanu wa radiya lahoo qawlaa

Allah knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, but they do not encompass it in knowledge.

Ya'lamu maa bainaa aideehim wa maa khalfahum wa laa yauheetoona bihee 'ilmaa

And [all] faces will be humbled before the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. And he will have failed who carries injustice.

Wa 'anatil wujoohu lil Haiiyil Qaiyoomi wa qad khaaba man hamala zulmaa

But he who does of righteous deeds while he is a believer - he will neither fear injustice nor deprivation.

Wa mai ya'mal minas saalihaati wa huwa mu'minun falaa yakhaafu zulmanw wa laa hadmaa

And thus We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an and have diversified therein the warnings that perhaps they will avoid [sin] or it would cause them remembrance.

Wa kazaalika anzalnaahu Qur-aanan 'Arabiyyanw wa sarrafnaa fee hi minal wa'eedi la'allahum yattaqoona aw yuhdisu lahum zikraa

So high [above all] is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth. And, [O Muhammad], do not hasten with [recitation of] the Qur'an before its revelation is completed to you, and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge."

Fata'aalal laahul Malikul Haqq; wa laa ta'jal bil Quraani min qabli ai yuqdaaa ilaika wahyuhoo wa qur Rabbi zidnee 'ilmaa

And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination.

Wa laqad 'ahidnaaa ilaaa Aadama min qablu fanasiya wa lam najid lahoo 'azmaa

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except Iblees; he refused.

Wa iz qulnaa lilma laaa'ikatis judoo li Aadama fasajadooo illaaa Iblees; abaa

So We said, "O Adam, indeed this is an enemy to you and to your wife. Then let him not remove you from Paradise so you would suffer.

Faqulnaa yaaa Aadamu inna haazaa 'aduwwul laka wa lizawjika falaa yukhrijan nakumaa minal Jannati fatashqaa

Indeed, it is [promised] for you not to be hungry therein or be unclothed.

Innaa laka allaa tajoo'a feeha wa laa ta'raa

And indeed, you will not be thirsty therein or be hot from the sun."

Wa annaka laa tazma'u feehaa wa laa tadhaa

Then Satan whispered to him; he said, "O Adam, shall I direct you to the tree of eternity and possession that will not deteriorate?"

Fa waswasa ilaihish Shaitaanu qaala yaaa Aadamu hal adulluka 'alaa shajaratil khuldi wa mulkil laa yablaa

And Adam and his wife ate of it, and their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And Adam disobeyed his Lord and erred.

Fa akalaa minhaa fabadat lahumaa saw aatuhumaa wa tafiqaa yakhsifaani 'alaihimaa minw waraqil jannah; wa 'asaaa Aadamu Rabbahoo faghawaa

Then his Lord chose him and turned to him in forgiveness and guided [him].

Summaj tabbahu Rabbuhoo fataaba 'alaihi wa hadaa

[Allah] said, "Descend from Paradise - all, [your descendants] being enemies to one another. And if there should come to you guidance from Me - then whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray [in the world] nor suffer [in the Hereafter].

Qaalah bita minhaa jamee'am ba'dukum liba'din 'aduww; fa immaa yaati yannakum minnee hudan famanit taba'a hudaaya falaa yadillu wa laa yashhqaa

And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind."

Wa man a'rada 'an Zikree fa inna lahoo ma'eeshatan dankanw wa nahshuruhoo Yawmal Qiyaamati a'maa

He will say, "My Lord, why have you raised me blind while I was [once] seeing?"

Qaala Rabbi lima hashar tanee a'maa wa qad kuntu baseeraa

[Allah] will say, "Thus did Our signs come to you, and you forgot them; and thus will you this Day be forgotten."

Qaala kazaalika atatka Aayaatunaa fanaseetahaa wa kazaalikal Yawma tunsaa

And thus do We recompense he who transgressed and did not believe in the signs of his Lord. And the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe and more enduring.

Wa kazaalika najzee man asrafa wa lam yu'mim bi Aayaati Rabbih; wa la'azaabul Aakhirati ashaddu wa abqaa

Then, has it not become clear to them how many generations We destroyed before them as they walk among their dwellings? Indeed in that are signs for those of intelligence.

Afalam yahdi lahum kam ahlaknaa qablahum minal qurooni yamshoona fee masaakinihim; inna fee zaalika la Aayaatil li ulinnuhaa

And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, punishment would have been an obligation [due immediately], and [if not for] a specified term [decreed].

Wa law laa Kalimatun sabaqat mir Rabbika lakaana lizaamanw wa ajalum musammaa

So be patient over what they say and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and during periods of the night [exalt Him] and at the ends of the day, that you may be satisfied.

Fasbir 'alaa maa yaqooloona wa sabbih bihamdi Rabbika qabla tuloo'ish shamsi wa qabla ghuroobihaa wa min aanaaa'il laili fasbbih wa atraafan nahaari la 'allaka tardaa

And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring.

Wa laa tamuddanna 'ainaika ilaa ma matta'na biheee azwajam minhum zahratal hayaatid dunya linaftinahum feeh; wa rizqu Rabbika khairunw wa abqaa

And enjoin prayer upon your family [and people] and be steadfast therein. We ask you not for provision; We provide for you, and the [best] outcome is for [those of] righteousness.

Waamur ahlaka bis Salaati wastabir 'alaihaa la nas'aluka rizqaa; nahnu narzuquk; wal 'aaqibatu littaqwaa

And they say, "Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?" Has there not come to them evidence of what was in the former scriptures?

Wa qaaloo law laa yaateenaa bi Aayatim mmir Rabbih; awalam taatihim baiyinatu maa fis suhufil oolaa

And if We had destroyed them with a punishment before him, they would have said, "Our Lord, why did You not send to us a messenger so we could have followed Your verses before we were humiliated and disgraced?"

Wa law annaaa ahlaknaahum bi'azaabim min qablihee laqaaloo Rabbanaa law laaa arsalta ilainaa Rasoolan fanattabi's Aayaatika min qabli an nazilla wa nakhzaa

Say, "Each [of us] is waiting; so wait. For you will know who are the companions of the sound path and who is guided."

Qul kullum mutarabbisun fatarabbasoo fasta'lamoona man Ashaabus Siraatis Sawiyyi wa manih tadaa
