بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
Wal Kitaabil Mubeen
By the Clear Book.
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍۢ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ
Innaaa anzalnaahu fee lailatim mubaarakah; innaa kunnaa munzireen
We revealed it on a Blessed Night, for We were intent on warning;
فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ
Feehaa yufraqu kullu amrin hakeem
(We revealed it on the Night) wherein every matter is wisely determined
أَمْرًۭا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ
Amram min 'indinaaa; innaa kunnaa mursileen
by Our command. Verily, We were set to send a Messenger
رَحْمَةًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
Rahmatam mir rabbik; innahoo Huwas Samee'ul 'Aleem
as a Mercy from your Lord. Surely He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing,
رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ
Rabbis samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa; in kuntum mooqineen
the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of all that is between them: if you would only have sure faith.
لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa yuhyee wa yumeetu Rabbukum wa Rabbu aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen
There is no god but He: He gives life and causes death. He is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers of yore.
بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّۢ يَلْعَبُونَ
Bal hum fee shakkiny yal'aboon
(But the fact is, they lack certainty) and frolic about in doubt.
فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
Fartaqib Yawma taatis samaaa'u bidukhaanim mubeen
So watch for the Day when the sky will come down with a pall of smoke,
يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ
Yaghshan naasa haazaa 'azaabun aleem
enveloping people. That will be a grievous scourge.
رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ
Rabbanak shif 'annal 'azaaba innaa mu'minoon
(People will then say): “Our Lord, remove this scourge from us; we shall believe.”
أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Annaa lahumuz zikraa wa qad jaaa'ahum Rasoolum mubeen
But how will they take heed? Such are they that a Messenger came to them clearly expounding the Truth,
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌۭ مَّجْنُونٌ
Summaa tawallaw 'anhu wa qaaloo mu'allamum majnoon
yet they turned away from him and said: “This is a well-tutored madman.”
إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ
Innaa kaashiful 'azaabi qaleelaa; innakum 'aaa'indoon
Yet We will hold the scourge back for a while, (but no sooner than We will do so) you will revert to your old ways.
يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ
Yawma nabtishul batsha tal kubraa innaa muntaqimoon
The Day when We shall seize them with a mighty seizing, that will be the Day on which We shall inflict upon you full retribution.
۞ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ كَرِيمٌ
Wa laqad fatannaa qablahum qawma Fir'awna wa jaaa'ahum Rasoolun kareem
Indeed before that We subjected the Pharaonites to the same test. A noble Messenger came to them
أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ
An addooo ilaiya 'ibaadal laahi innee lakum Rasoolun ameen
(and said): “Deliver to me Allah's servants. I am a trustworthy Messenger to you,
وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
Wa al laa ta'loo 'alal laahi innee aateekum bisultaanim mubeen
and do not exalt yourselves in defiance of Allah. I have come to you with a clear authority (as a Messenger).
وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ
Wa innee 'uztu bi Rabbee wa rabbikum an tarjumoon
I have taken refuge with my Lord and your Lord lest you should attack me with stones.
وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ
Wa il lam tu'minoo lee fa'taziloon
But if you do not believe what I say, leave me alone (and desist from laying hands on me).”
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌۭ مُّجْرِمُونَ
Fada'aa rabbahooo anna haaa'ulaaa'i qawmum mujrimoon
Then he called upon his Lord: “These are a criminal people.”
فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
Fa asri bi'ibaadee lailan innakum muttaba'oon
(He was told): “Set out with My servants by night for you will certainly be pursued.
وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌۭ مُّغْرَقُونَ
Watrukil bahra rahwan innahum jundum mughraqoon
And leave the sea behind you as calm as ever. Surely they are an army that is doomed to be drowned.”
كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ
Kam tarakoo min jannaatinw wa 'uyoon
How many gardens did they leave behind, and how many fountains
وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ
Wa zuroo'inw wa maqaa min kareem
and sown fields and splendid mansions,
وَنَعْمَةٍۢ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ
Wa na'matin kaanoo feehaa faakiheen
and the life of ease in which they took delight!
كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ
Kazaalika wa awrasnaahaa qawman aakhareen
Thus it was; and We made another people inherit all that.
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ
Famaa bakat 'alaihimus samaaa'u wal ardu wa maa kaanoo munzareen
Then neither the sky shed tears over them nor the earth. They were granted no respite.
وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ
Wa laqad najjainaa Baneee Israaa'eela minal'azaabil muheen
Thus did We deliver the Children of Israel from the humiliating chastisement,
Meccan
