اَلْمُؤْمِنُوْن
118 Ayaat مکیۃ
فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّیْحَةُ بِالْحَقِّ فَجَعَلْنٰهُمْ غُثَآءًۚ-فَبُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ(۴۱)
So they were rightly seized by a mighty blast; and We turned them into mouldy rubbish: A good riddance of the wicked people!
And the Cry seized them justly, and We made them as scum; so away with the people of the evildoers!
ثُمَّ اَنْشَاْنَا مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ قُرُوْنًا اٰخَرِیْنَؕ(۴۲)
Then after them We raised other generations.
Thereafter, after them, We produced other generations;
مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ اُمَّةٍ اَجَلَهَا وَ مَا یَسْتَاْخِرُوْنَؕ(۴۳)
No nation can live beyond its allotted time, or lag behind.
no nation outstrips its term, nor do they put it back.
ثُمَّ اَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَاؕ-كُلَّمَا جَآءَ اُمَّةً رَّسُوْلُهَا كَذَّبُوْهُ فَاَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ بَعْضًا وَّ جَعَلْنٰهُمْ اَحَادِیْثَۚ-فَبُعْدًا لِّقَوْمٍ لَّا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ(۴۴)
Then We sent Our apostles one after the other. Every time an apostle came to a people they denied him. So We made one follow the other (to its doom), and turned them into bygone tales. Cursed be the people who do not believe!
Then sent We Our Messengers successively; whenever its Messenger came to a nation they cried him lies, so We caused some of them to follow others, and We made them as but tales; so away with a people who do not believe!
ثُمَّ اَرْسَلْنَا مُوْسٰى وَ اَخَاهُ هٰرُوْنَ ﳔ بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَ سُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِیْنٍۙ(۴۵)
Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our miracles and clear proofs
Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our signs and a manifest authority
اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ وَ مَلَاۡىٕهٖ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا وَ كَانُوْا قَوْمًا عَالِیْنَۚ(۴۶)
To Pharaoh and his nobles who behaved with arrogance, for they were a conceited lot,
unto Pharaoh and his Council; but they waxed proud, and they were a lofty people,
فَقَالُوْۤا اَنُؤْمِنُ لِبَشَرَیْنِ مِثْلِنَا وَ قَوْمُهُمَا لَنَا عٰبِدُوْنَۚ(۴۷)
And said: "Should we believe in two men like yourselves, whose people are our subjects?"
and they said, 'What, shall we believe two mortals like ourselves, whose people are our servants?'
فَكَذَّبُوْهُمَا فَكَانُوْا مِنَ الْمُهْلَكِیْنَ(۴۸)
Then they accused them of lies, and joined the company of those who were destroyed.
So they cried them lies, and they were among the destroyed.
وَ لَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَهْتَدُوْنَ(۴۹)
And We gave the Book to Moses so that they may be guided.
And We gave Moses the Book, that haply they would be guided;
وَ جَعَلْنَا ابْنَ مَرْیَمَ وَ اُمَّهٗۤ اٰیَةً وَّ اٰوَیْنٰهُمَاۤ اِلٰى رَبْوَةٍ ذَاتِ قَرَارٍ وَّ مَعِیْنٍ۠(۵۰)
And We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign, and gave them shelter on an elevated ground, sequestered, watered by a spring.
and We made Mary's son, and his mother, to be a sign, and gave them refuge upon a height, where was a hollow and a spring:
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الرُّسُلُ كُلُوْا مِنَ الطَّیِّبٰتِ وَ اعْمَلُوْا صَالِحًاؕ-اِنِّیْ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ عَلِیْمٌؕ(۵۱)
O you apostles, eat things that are clean, and do things that are good. We are surely cognisant of what you do.
'O Messengers, eat of the good things and do righteousness; surely I know the things you do.
وَ اِنَّ هٰذِهٖۤ اُمَّتُكُمْ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً وَّ اَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاتَّقُوْنِ(۵۲)
Verily this your order is one order, and I am your Lord, so fear Me.
Surely this community of yours is one community, and I am your Lord; so fear Me.'
فَتَقَطَّعُوْۤا اَمْرَهُمْ بَیْنَهُمْ زُبُرًاؕ-كُلُّ حِزْبٍۭ بِمَا لَدَیْهِمْ فَرِحُوْنَ(۵۳)
But then they divided up their order into different creeds, each section rejoicing in what it had come to have.
But they split in their affair between them into sects, each party rejoicing in what is with them.
So leave thou them in their perplexity for a time.
اَیَحْسَبُوْنَ اَنَّمَا نُمِدُّهُمْ بِهٖ مِنْ مَّالٍ وَّ بَنِیْنَۙ(۵۵)
Do they think that by increasing their wealth and children
What, do they think that We succour them with of wealth and children,
نُسَارِعُ لَهُمْ فِی الْخَیْرٰتِؕ-بَلْ لَّا یَشْعُرُوْنَ(۵۶)
We are hastening to reward them for good deeds? No. They do not comprehend.
We vie in good works for them? Nay, but they are not aware.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ مِّنْ خَشْیَةِ رَبِّهِمْ مُّشْفِقُوْنَۙ(۵۷)
Surely those who live in awe of their Lord,
Surely those who tremble in fear of their Lord
وَ الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ یُؤْمِنُوْنَۙ(۵۸)
Who believe in their Lord´s revelations,
and those who believe in the signs of their Lord
وَ الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ بِرَبِّهِمْ لَا یُشْرِكُوْنَۙ(۵۹)
Who do not associate any one with their Lord,
and those who associate naught with their Lord
وَ الَّذِیْنَ یُؤْتُوْنَ مَاۤ اٰتَوْا وَّ قُلُوْبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ اَنَّهُمْ اِلٰى رَبِّهِمْ رٰجِعُوْنَۙ(۶۰)
Who give whatsoever they give (in His way), and their hearts tremble with fear that they have to go back to their Lord,
and those who give what they give, their hearts quaking that they are returning to their Lord --
اُولٰٓىٕكَ یُسٰرِعُوْنَ فِی الْخَیْرٰتِ وَ هُمْ لَهَا سٰبِقُوْنَ(۶۱)
Are the ones who hasten to goodness and outpace the others.
those vie in good works, outracing to them.
وَ لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا اِلَّا وُسْعَهَا وَ لَدَیْنَا كِتٰبٌ یَّنْطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ وَ هُمْ لَا یُظْلَمُوْنَ(۶۲)
We do not burden a soul beyond capacity, for We have a record that tells the truth. No wrong will be done to any one.
We charge not any soul save to its capacity, and with Us is a Book speaking truth, and they shall not be wronged.
بَلْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ فِیْ غَمْرَةٍ مِّنْ هٰذَا وَ لَهُمْ اَعْمَالٌ مِّنْ دُوْنِ ذٰلِكَ هُمْ لَهَا عٰمِلُوْنَ(۶۳)
Yet their hearts are oblivious of this; and besides, they are busy with other things,
Nay, but their hearts are in perplexity as to this, and they have deeds besides that that they are doing.
حَتّٰۤى اِذَاۤ اَخَذْنَا مُتْرَفِیْهِمْ بِالْعَذَابِ اِذَا هُمْ یَجْــٴَـرُوْنَؕ(۶۴)
So that when We seize the affluent among them with affliction, they will begin to implore for help.
Till, when We seize with the chastisement the ones of them that live at ease, behold, they groan.
لَا تَجْــٴَـرُوا الْیَوْمَ۫-اِنَّكُمْ مِّنَّا لَا تُنْصَرُوْنَ(۶۵)
"Do not supplicate for help today; you will not be rescued by Us;
'Groan not today; surely you shall not be helped from Us.
قَدْ كَانَتْ اٰیٰتِیْ تُتْلٰى عَلَیْكُمْ فَكُنْتُمْ عَلٰۤى اَعْقَابِكُمْ تَنْكِصُوْنَۙ(۶۶)
For when My revelations were read out to you, you turned back on your heels and fled
My signs were recited to you, but upon your heels you withdrew,
مُسْتَكْبِرِیْنَ ﳓ بِهٖ سٰمِرًا تَهْجُرُوْنَ(۶۷)
Insolently, treating them like tales told at night."
waxing proud against it, talking foolish talk by night.'
اَفَلَمْ یَدَّبَّرُوا الْقَوْلَ اَمْ جَآءَهُمْ مَّا لَمْ یَاْتِ اٰبَآءَهُمُ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ٘(۶۸)
Why did they not think over the message? Or has something come to them which had not come to their fathers?
Have they not pondered the saying, or came there upon them that which came not upon their fathers, the ancients?
اَمْ لَمْ یَعْرِفُوْا رَسُوْلَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَهٗ مُنْكِرُوْنَ٘(۶۹)
Or did they not recognise their apostle, and rejected him?
Or did they not recognise their Messenger and so denied him?
اَمْ یَقُوْلُوْنَ بِهٖ جِنَّةٌؕ-بَلْ جَآءَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كٰرِهُوْنَ(۷۰)
Or do they say that he is possessed? In fact, he has brought the truth to them, but most of them abhor the truth.
Or do they say, 'He is bedevilled'? Nay, he has brought them the truth, but most of them are averse from the truth.
وَ لَوِ اتَّبَعَ الْحَقُّ اَهْوَآءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَ الْاَرْضُ وَ مَنْ فِیْهِنَّؕ-بَلْ اَتَیْنٰهُمْ بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِهِمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَؕ(۷۱)
Had truth been subject to their whims the heavens and the earth and all those within them would have been depraved. In fact We had sent them their reminder, but they turned away from good advice.
Had the truth followed their caprices, the heavens and the earth and whosoever in them is had surely corrupted. Nay, We brought them their Remembrance, but from their Remembrance they turned.
اَمْ تَسْــٴَـلُهُمْ خَرْجًا فَخَرَاجُ رَبِّكَ خَیْرٌ ﳓ وَّ هُوَ خَیْرُ الرّٰزِقِیْنَ(۷۲)
Or do you ask of them any tribute? In that case the tribute of your Lord is better, for He is the best of providers.
Or dost thou ask them for tribute? Yet the tribute of thy Lord is better, and He is the best of providers.
وَ اِنَّكَ لَتَدْعُوْهُمْ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ(۷۳)
You are surely calling them to the right path.
Assuredly thou art calling them to a straight path;
وَ اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ عَنِ الصِّرَاطِ لَنٰكِبُوْنَ(۷۴)
But those who believe not in the Hereafter turn away from the straight path.
and surely they that believe not in the world to come are deviating from the path.
وَ لَوْ رَحِمْنٰهُمْ وَ كَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِمْ مِّنْ ضُرٍّ لَّلَجُّوْا فِیْ طُغْیَانِهِمْ یَعْمَهُوْنَ(۷۵)
If We took compassion on them and removed the affliction they are in, they would only wander lost in confusion.
Did We have mercy on them, and remove the affliction that is upon them, they would persist in their insolence wandering blindly.
وَ لَقَدْ اَخَذْنٰهُمْ بِالْعَذَابِ فَمَا اسْتَكَانُوْا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَ مَا یَتَضَرَّعُوْنَ(۷۶)
We had seized them with the punishment, but they did not bow before their Lord nor turned to Him in humility,
We already seized them with the chastisement, yet they abased not themselves to their Lord nor were they humble;
حَتّٰۤى اِذَا فَتَحْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ بَابًا ذَا عَذَابٍ شَدِیْدٍ اِذَا هُمْ فِیْهِ مُبْلِسُوْنَ۠(۷۷)
So that when at last We open up the gate of severe punishment on them they will be overwhelmed with despair.
until, when We open against them a door of terrible chastisement, lo, they are sore confounded at it.
وَ هُوَ الَّذِیْۤ اَنْشَاَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَ الْاَبْصَارَ وَ الْاَفْـٕدَةَؕ-قَلِیْلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُوْنَ(۷۸)
It is He who gave you hearing, sight, and hearts, but only few of you give thanks.
It is He who produced for you hearing, and eyes, and hearts; little thanks you show.
وَ هُوَ الَّذِیْ ذَرَاَكُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ اِلَیْهِ تُحْشَرُوْنَ(۷۹)
It is He who multiplied you on the earth, and it will be before Him that you will be gathered.
It is He who scattered you in the earth, and to Him you shall be mustered.
وَ هُوَ الَّذِیْ یُحْیٖ وَ یُمِیْتُ وَ لَهُ اخْتِلَافُ الَّیْلِ وَ النَّهَارِؕ-اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ(۸۰)
It is He who gives you life and death, and His the alternation of night and day. Even then you do not understand,
It is He who gives life, and makes to die, and to Him belongs the alternation of night and day; what, will you not understand?
