اَلْاَ نْبِيَآء
112 Ayaat مکیۃ
وَ لِسُلَیْمٰنَ الرِّیْحَ عَاصِفَةً تَجْرِیْ بِاَمْرِهٖۤ اِلَى الْاَرْضِ الَّتِیْ بٰرَكْنَا فِیْهَاؕ-وَ كُنَّا بِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ عٰلِمِیْنَ(۸۱)
We made tempestuous winds obedient to Solomon which blew swiftly to sail at his bidding (with his ships) to the land We had blessed. We are cognisant of everything.
And to Solomon the wind, strongly blowing, that ran at his command unto the land that We had blessed; and We had knowledge of everything;
وَ مِنَ الشَّیٰطِیْنِ مَنْ یَّغُوْصُوْنَ لَهٗ وَ یَعْمَلُوْنَ عَمَلًا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَۚ-وَ كُنَّا لَهُمْ حٰفِظِیْنَۙ(۸۲)
And many of the devils (We also made obedient to him) who dived for him, and did many other things; and We kept watch over them.
and of the Satans some dived for him and did other work besides; and We were watching over them.
وَ اَیُّوْبَ اِذْ نَادٰى رَبَّهٗۤ اَنِّیْ مَسَّنِیَ الضُّرُّ وَ اَنْتَ اَرْحَمُ الرّٰحِمِیْنَۚۖ(۸۳)
(Remember) Job when he called to his Lord: "I am afflicted with distress, and You are the most compassionate of all."
And Job -- when he called unto his Lord, 'Behold, affliction has visited me, and Thou art the most merciful of the merciful.'
فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ فَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهٖ مِنْ ضُرٍّ وَّ اٰتَیْنٰهُ اَهْلَهٗ وَ مِثْلَهُمْ مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِنَا وَ ذِكْرٰى لِلْعٰبِدِیْنَ(۸۴)
So We heard his cry and relieved him of the misery he was in. We restored his family to him, and along with them gave him others similar to them as a grace from Us and reminder for those who are obedient.
So We answered him, and removed the affliction that was upon him, and We gave his people, and the like of them with them, mercy from Us, and a Reminder to those who serve.
وَ اِسْمٰعِیْلَ وَ اِدْرِیْسَ وَ ذَا الْكِفْلِؕ-كُلٌّ مِّنَ الصّٰبِرِیْنَۚۖ(۸۵)
(Remember) Ishmael, Edris and Dhu´l-Kifl. They were men of fortitude,
And Ishmael, Idris, Dhul Kifl -- each was of the patient,
وَ اَدْخَلْنٰهُمْ فِیْ رَحْمَتِنَاؕ-اِنَّهُمْ مِّنَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ(۸۶)
And they were admitted to Our grace. Verily they were among the doers of good.
and We admitted them into Our mercy; they were of the righteous.
وَ ذَا النُّوْنِ اِذْ ذَّهَبَ مُغَاضِبًا فَظَنَّ اَنْ لَّنْ نَّقْدِرَ عَلَیْهِ فَنَادٰى فِی الظُّلُمٰتِ اَنْ لَّاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّاۤ اَنْتَ سُبْحٰنَكَ ﳓ اِنِّیْ كُنْتُ مِنَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَۚۖ(۸۷)
And (remember) Dhu´n-Noon (Jonah of the fish), when he went away in anger and imagined We will not test him (with distress). Then he called out from the darkness: "There is no god other than You. All glory to You; surely I was a sinner.
And Dhul Nun -- when he went forth enraged and thought that We would have no power over him; then he called out in the darkness, 'There is no god but Thou. Glory be to Thee! I have done evil.'
فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗۙ-وَ نَجَّیْنٰهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّؕ-وَ كَذٰلِكَ نُـْۨجِی الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ(۸۸)
We heard his cry, and saved him from the anguish. That is how We deliver those who believe.
So We answered him, and delivered him out of grief; even so do, We deliver the believers.
وَ زَكَرِیَّاۤ اِذْ نَادٰى رَبَّهٗ رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِیْ فَرْدًا وَّ اَنْتَ خَیْرُ الْوٰرِثِیْنَۚۖ(۸۹)
(Remember) Zachariah when he called to his Lord: "Do not leave me alone (and childless), for you are the best of givers."
And Zachariah -- when he called unto his Lord, 'O my Lord, leave me not solitary; though Thou art the best of inheritors.'
فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ٘-وَ وَهَبْنَا لَهٗ یَحْیٰى وَ اَصْلَحْنَا لَهٗ زَوْجَهٗؕ-اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا یُسٰرِعُوْنَ فِی الْخَیْرٰتِ وَ یَدْعُوْنَنَا رَغَبًا وَّ رَهَبًاؕ-وَ كَانُوْا لَنَا خٰشِعِیْنَ(۹۰)
So We heard him and gave him John, and cured his wife (of barrenness). These were men who vied in good deeds with one another, and prayed to Us with love and awe, and were meek before Us.
So We answered him, and bestowed on him John, and We set his wife right for him; truly they vied with one another, hastening to good works, and called upon Us out of yearning and awe; and they were humble to Us.
وَ الَّتِیْۤ اَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِیْهَا مِنْ رُّوْحِنَا وَ جَعَلْنٰهَا وَ ابْنَهَاۤ اٰیَةً لِّلْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۹۱)
(Remember) her who preserved her chastity, into whom We breathed a new life from Us, and made her and her son a token for mankind.
And she who guarded her virginity, so We breathed into her of Our spirit and appointed her and her son to be a sign unto all beings.
اِنَّ هٰذِهٖۤ اُمَّتُكُمْ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً ﳲ وَّ اَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوْنِ(۹۲)
Verily this your order is one order, and I am your Lord; so worship Me.
'Surely this community of yours is one community, and I am your Lord; so serve Me.'
وَ تَقَطَّعُوْۤا اَمْرَهُمْ بَیْنَهُمْؕ-كُلٌّ اِلَیْنَا رٰجِعُوْنَ۠(۹۳)
But they split up the order among themselves; (yet) all of them have to come back to Me.
But they split up their affair between them; all shall return to Us.
فَمَنْ یَّعْمَلْ مِنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا كُفْرَانَ لِسَعْیِهٖۚ-وَ اِنَّا لَهٗ كٰتِبُوْنَ(۹۴)
So he who does the right and is a believer, will not have his labour denied, for We are congnisant of it.
And whosoever does deeds of righteousness, being a believer, no unthankfulness shall befall his endeavour; We Ourselves write it down for him.
وَ حَرٰمٌ عَلٰى قَرْیَةٍ اَهْلَكْنٰهَاۤ اَنَّهُمْ لَا یَرْجِعُوْنَ(۹۵)
It is imperative that a habitation We have destroyed will not desist (from unbelief)
There is a ban upon any city that We have destroyed; they shall not return
حَتّٰۤى اِذَا فُتِحَتْ یَاْجُوْجُ وَ مَاْجُوْجُ وَ هُمْ مِّنْ كُلِّ حَدَبٍ یَّنْسِلُوْنَ(۹۶)
Until when the way is opened up for Gog and Magog and they press from every elevated place,
till, when Gog and Magog are unloosed, and they slide down out of every slope,
وَ اقْتَرَبَ الْوَعْدُ الْحَقُّ فَاِذَا هِیَ شَاخِصَةٌ اَبْصَارُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْاؕ-یٰوَیْلَنَا قَدْ كُنَّا فِیْ غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ هٰذَا بَلْ كُنَّا ظٰلِمِیْنَ(۹۷)
And the certain promise (of Doom) comes near. Then the eyes of unbelievers will be fixed in horror, (and they will cry:) "Ah, woe betide, we were indeed heedless of this, and were oppressors and unjust."
and nigh has drawn the true promise, and behold, the eyes of the unbelievers staring: 'Alas for us! We were heedless of this; 'nay, we were evildoers.'
اِنَّكُمْ وَ مَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَؕ-اَنْتُمْ لَهَا وٰرِدُوْنَ(۹۸)
Verily you and those you worship other than God will be faggots for Hell; and come to it you will.
'Surely you, and that you were serving apart from God, are fuel for Gehenna; you shall go down to it.'
لَوْ كَانَ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ اٰلِهَةً مَّا وَرَدُوْهَاؕ-وَ كُلٌّ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ(۹۹)
Had they really been gods they would not have entered it: They will all abide in it for ever.
If those had been gods, they would never have gone down to it; yet every one of them shall therein abide forever;'
لَهُمْ فِیْهَا زَفِیْرٌ وَّ هُمْ فِیْهَا لَا یَسْمَعُوْنَ(۱۰۰)
There will only be groaning for them, and they will not hear any thing.
there shall be sighing for them therein, and naught they shall hear.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ سَبَقَتْ لَهُمْ مِّنَّا الْحُسْنٰۤىۙ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ عَنْهَا مُبْعَدُوْنَۙ(۱۰۱)
But those for whom a good reward had been fore-ordained by Us, will be far removed from it,
But as for those unto whom already the reward most fair has gone forth from Us,
لَا یَسْمَعُوْنَ حَسِیْسَهَاۚ-وَ هُمْ فِیْ مَا اشْتَهَتْ اَنْفُسُهُمْ خٰلِدُوْنَۚ(۱۰۲)
And will not hear its hissing, and will live for ever in the midst of what their hearts desire.
they shall be, kept far from it neither shall they hear any whisper of it, and they shall dwell forever in that their souls desired;
لَا یَحْزُنُهُمُ الْفَزَعُ الْاَكْبَرُ وَ تَتَلَقّٰىهُمُ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُؕ-هٰذَا یَوْمُكُمُ الَّذِیْ كُنْتُمْ تُوْعَدُوْنَ(۱۰۳)
They will have safety from the mighty terror, and angels will receive them, (saying:) "This is your day which had been promised you."
the greatest terror shall not grieve them, and the angels shall receive them: 'This is your day that you were promised.'
یَوْمَ نَطْوِی السَّمَآءَ كَطَیِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِؕ-كَمَا بَدَاْنَاۤ اَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُّعِیْدُهٗؕ-وَعْدًا عَلَیْنَاؕ-اِنَّا كُنَّا فٰعِلِیْنَ(۱۰۴)
The day We shall roll up the heavens like a written scroll, We shall revert it (to nothing) as it was before We first created it. This is a promise incumbent on Us; We will certainly fulfil it.
On the day when We shall roll up heaven as a scroll is rolled for the writings; as We originated the first creation, so We shall bring it back again -- a promise binding on Us; so We shall do.
وَ لَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِی الزَّبُوْرِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ اَنَّ الْاَرْضَ یَرِثُهَا عِبَادِیَ الصّٰلِحُوْنَ(۱۰۵)
We had prescribed in the Book of Psalms after the reminder and admonition, that those of Our creatures who are good will in the end rule the earth.
For We have written in the Psalms, after the Remembrance, 'The earth shall be the inheritance of My righteous servants.'
اِنَّ فِیْ هٰذَا لَبَلٰغًا لِّقَوْمٍ عٰبِدِیْنَؕ(۱۰۶)
Verily there is a message in this for people who are devout.
Surely in this is a Message delivered unto a people who serve.
وَ مَاۤ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ اِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۱۰۷)
We have sent you as a benevolence to the creatures of the world.
We have not sent thee, save as a mercy unto all beings.
قُلْ اِنَّمَا یُوْحٰۤى اِلَیَّ اَنَّمَاۤ اِلٰهُكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌۚ-فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ(۱۰۸)
Say: "This is what has been revealed to me: ´Your God is one and only God.´ So will you bow in homage to Him?"
Say: 'It is revealed unto me only that your God is One God; do you then surrender?'
فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ اٰذَنْتُكُمْ عَلٰى سَوَآءٍؕ-وَ اِنْ اَدْرِیْۤ اَقَرِیْبٌ اَمْ بَعِیْدٌ مَّا تُوْعَدُوْنَ(۱۰۹)
If they turn away, tell them: "I have warned you all alike. I do not know if what has been promised you is near or far away.
Then, if they should turn their backs, say: 'I have proclaimed to you all equally, even though I know not whether near or far is that you are promised.'
اِنَّهٗ یَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ وَ یَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْتُمُوْنَ(۱۱۰)
He knows surely what you say aloud, and what you hide within your breasts.
Surely He knows what is spoken aloud and He knows what you hide.
وَ اِنْ اَدْرِیْ لَعَلَّهٗ فِتْنَةٌ لَّكُمْ وَ مَتَاعٌ اِلٰى حِیْنٍ(۱۱۱)
I do not know if this be a trial for you, or a little advantage for a while."
I know not; haply it is a trial for you and an enjoyment for a time.
قٰلَ رَبِّ احْكُمْ بِالْحَقِّؕ-وَ رَبُّنَا الرَّحْمٰنُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلٰى مَا تَصِفُوْنَ۠(۱۱۲)
"Judge in truth (between us), O Lord," he said. "Our Lord is merciful, whose help we seek against what you attribute."
He said: 'My Lord, judge Thou with truth! And our Lord is the All-merciful; His succour is ever to be sought against that you describe.'
