اَلْمُؤْمِن
85 Ayaat مکیۃ
وَ یٰقَوْمِ مَا لِیْۤ اَدْعُوْكُمْ اِلَى النَّجٰوةِ وَ تَدْعُوْنَنِیْۤ اِلَى النَّارِؕ(۴۱)
O my people, what is wrong with me that I am calling you to preservation, while you invite me to the Fire!
"And O my people! How (strange) it is for me to call you to Salvation while ye call me to the Fire!
تَدْعُوْنَنِیْ لِاَكْفُرَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ اُشْرِكَ بِهٖ مَا لَیْسَ لِیْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ٘-وَّ اَنَا اَدْعُوْكُمْ اِلَى الْعَزِیْزِ الْغَفَّارِ(۴۲)
You are asking me to disbelieve in God, and to associate with Him that of which I have no knowledge, yet I invite you to the all-mighty, all-forgiving.
"Ye do call upon me to blaspheme against Allah, and to join with Him partners of whom I have no knowledge; and I call you to the Exalted in Power, Who forgives again and again!"
لَا جَرَمَ اَنَّمَا تَدْعُوْنَنِیْۤ اِلَیْهِ لَیْسَ لَهٗ دَعْوَةٌ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ لَا فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ وَ اَنَّ مَرَدَّنَاۤ اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَ اَنَّ الْمُسْرِفِیْنَ هُمْ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ(۴۳)
What you are calling me to is surely not worth the calling in this world or in the next, because our returning is to God; and because the transgressors will be inmates of Hell.
"Without doubt ye do call me to one who is not fit to be called to, whether in this world, or in the Hereafter; our return will be to Allah; and the Transgressors will be Companions of the Fire!
فَسَتَذْكُرُوْنَ مَاۤ اَقُوْلُ لَكُمْؕ-وَ اُفَوِّضُ اَمْرِیْۤ اِلَى اللّٰهِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بَصِیْرٌۢ بِالْعِبَادِ(۴۴)
You will remember what I say in time to come; I submit my case to the judgement of God. Surely God keeps an eye on His creatures."
"Soon will ye remember what I say to you (now), My (own) affair I commit to Allah: for Allah (ever) watches over His Servants."
فَوَقٰىهُ اللّٰهُ سَیِّاٰتِ مَا مَكَرُوْا وَ حَاقَ بِاٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَ سُوْٓءُ الْعَذَابِۚ(۴۵)
So God preserved him from the evil they were planning; and a dreadful doom encompassed the people of Pharaoh:
Then Allah saved him from (every) ill that they plotted (against him), but the burnt of the Penalty encompassed on all sides the People of Pharaoh.
اَلنَّارُ یُعْرَضُوْنَ عَلَیْهَا غُدُوًّا وَّ عَشِیًّاۚ-وَ یَوْمَ تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ- اَدْخِلُوْۤا اٰلَ فِرْعَوْنَ اَشَدَّ الْعَذَابِ(۴۶)
Fire, to which they are exposed morning and evening. The day the Hour is proclaimed (it will be said:) "Admit the people of Pharaoh to the severest punishment,"
In front of the Fire will they be brought, morning and evening: And (the sentence will be) on the Day that Judgment will be established: "Cast ye the People of Pharaoh into the severest Penalty!"
وَ اِذْ یَتَحَآجُّوْنَ فِی النَّارِ فَیَقُوْلُ الضُّعَفٰٓؤُا لِلَّذِیْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْۤا اِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّغْنُوْنَ عَنَّا نَصِیْبًا مِّنَ النَّارِ(۴۷)
As they will noisily argue in the Fire, the weaker ones will say to the arrogant: "We were your followers, so will you take over some of our share of the fire?"
Behold, they will dispute with each other in the Fire! The weak ones (who followed) will say to those who had been arrogant, "We but followed you: Can ye then take (on yourselves) from us some share of the Fire?
قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْۤا اِنَّا كُلٌّ فِیْهَاۤۙ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدْ حَكَمَ بَیْنَ الْعِبَادِ(۴۸)
The arrogant will answer: "All of us are in it. Surely God has judged between His creatures."
Those who had been arrogant will say: "We are all in this (Fire)! Truly, Allah has judged between (his) Servants!"
وَ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ فِی النَّارِ لِخَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ ادْعُوْا رَبَّكُمْ یُخَفِّفْ عَنَّا یَوْمًا مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ(۴۹)
Those in the Fire will say to the warders of Hell: "Ask your Lord to reduce the punishment by a day for us."
Those in the Fire will say to the Keepers of Hell: "Pray to your Lord to lighten us the Penalty for a day (at least)!"
قَالُوْۤا اَوَ لَمْ تَكُ تَاْتِیْكُمْ رُسُلُكُمْ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِؕ-قَالُوْا بَلٰىؕ-قَالُوْا فَادْعُوْاۚ-وَ مَا دُعٰٓؤُا الْكٰفِرِیْنَ اِلَّا فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ۠(۵۰)
They will say: "Did not your apostles come to you with clear proofs?" They will answer: "Indeed, they did." "Then pray," will (the warders) say. But the praying of unbelievers will be all in vain.
They will say: "Did there not come to you your messengers with Clear Signs?" They will say, "Yes". They will reply, "Then pray (as ye like)! But the prayer of those without Faith is nothing but (futile wandering) in (mazes of) error!"
اِنَّا لَنَنْصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا وَ یَوْمَ یَقُوْمُ الْاَشْهَادُۙ(۵۱)
We will certainly help Our messengers and those who believe, in this world, and on the day the witnesses take their stand,
We will, without doubt, help our messengers and those who believe, (both) in this world's life and on the Day when the Witnesses will stand forth,-
یَوْمَ لَا یَنْفَعُ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ مَعْذِرَتُهُمْ وَ لَهُمُ اللَّعْنَةُ وَ لَهُمْ سُوْٓءُ الدَّارِ(۵۲)
The day upon which their excuses will not benefit the evil-doers, and the condemnation and evil abode will be theirs.
The Day when no profit will it be to Wrong-doers to present their excuses, but they will (only) have the Curse and the Home of Misery.
وَ لَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا مُوْسَى الْهُدٰى وَ اَوْرَثْنَا بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ الْكِتٰبَۙ(۵۳)
Verily We showed Moses the way, and bequeathed the Book to the children of Israel,
We did aforetime give Moses the (Book of) Guidance, and We gave the book in inheritance to the Children of Israel,-
A Guide and a Message to men of Understanding.
فَاصْبِرْ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْۢبِكَ وَ سَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ بِالْعَشِیِّ وَ الْاِبْكَارِ(۵۵)
So persevere; the promise of God is true; and seek forgiveness for your sins, and chant the praises of your Lord evening and morning.
Patiently, then, persevere: for the Promise of Allah is true: and ask forgiveness for thy fault, and celebrate the Praises of thy Lord in the evening and in the morning.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یُجَادِلُوْنَ فِیْۤ اٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ بِغَیْرِ سُلْطٰنٍ اَتٰىهُمْۙ-اِنْ فِیْ صُدُوْرِهِمْ اِلَّا كِبْرٌ مَّا هُمْ بِبَالِغِیْهِۚ-فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللّٰهِؕ-اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِیْعُ الْبَصِیْرُ(۵۶)
Verily those who argue in the matter of God´s revelations, without authority having reached them, have nothing but pride in their hearts, and they will not achieve their end. So take refuge in God: Surely He is all-hearing and all-seeing.
Those who dispute about the signs of Allah without any authority bestowed on them,- there is nothing in their breasts but (the quest of) greatness, which they shall never attain to: seek refuge, then, in Allah: It is He Who hears and sees (all things).
لَخَلْقُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ اَكْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ وَ لٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ(۵۷)
The creation of the heavens and the earth is indeed of greater magnitude than the creation of mankind; but most men do not understand.
Assuredly the creation of the heavens and the earth is a greater (matter) than the creation of men: Yet most men understand not.
وَ مَا یَسْتَوِی الْاَعْمٰى وَ الْبَصِیْرُ ﳔ وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَ لَا الْمُسِیْٓءُؕ-قَلِیْلًا مَّا تَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ(۵۸)
The blind and the seeing are surely not alike, nor those who believe and act rightly and those who do evil. Little do you reflect!
Not equal are the blind and those who (clearly) see: Nor are (equal) those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and those who do evil. Little do ye learn by admonition!
اِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَاٰتِیَةٌ لَّا رَیْبَ فِیْهَا وَ لٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ(۵۹)
The Hour will certainly come; there is no mystery about it; but most men do not believe.
The Hour will certainly come: Therein is no doubt: Yet most men believe not.
وَ قَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُوْنِیْۤ اَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْؕ-اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِیْ سَیَدْخُلُوْنَ جَهَنَّمَ دٰخِرِیْنَ۠(۶۰)
Your Lord has said: "Call to Me that I may answer your call. Surely those who disdain worshipping Me will enter Hell, disgraced."
And your Lord says: "Call on Me; I will answer your (Prayer): but those who are too arrogant to serve Me will surely find themselves in Hell - in humiliation!"
اَللّٰهُ الَّذِیْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الَّیْلَ لِتَسْكُنُوْا فِیْهِ وَ النَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًاؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَذُوْ فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَ لٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَشْكُرُوْنَ(۶۱)
It is God who made the night for you to rest, the day to make things visible. Indeed God is gracious to men, but most men are not grateful.
It is Allah Who has made the Night for you, that ye may rest therein, and the days as that which helps (you) to see. Verily Allah is full of Grace and Bounty to men: yet most men give no thanks.
ذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبُّكُمْ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَیْءٍۘ-لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ-٘ فَاَنّٰى تُؤْفَكُوْنَ(۶۲)
He is God your Lord, creator of everything. There is no god but He. How then do you turn away (from Him)?
Such is Allah, your Lord, the Creator of all things, there is no god but He: Then how ye are deluded away from the Truth!
كَذٰلِكَ یُؤْفَكُ الَّذِیْنَ كَانُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ یَجْحَدُوْنَ(۶۳)
Only they are turned away thus who deny the signs of God.
Thus are deluded those who are wont to reject the Signs of Allah.
اَللّٰهُ الَّذِیْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَرْضَ قَرَارًا وَّ السَّمَآءَ بِنَآءً وَّ صَوَّرَكُمْ فَاَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْ وَ رَزَقَكُمْ مِّنَ الطَّیِّبٰتِؕ-ذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبُّكُمْ ۚۖ-فَتَبٰرَكَ اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۶۴)
It is God who made the earth a dwelling for you, and the sky a vaulted roof, who fashioned you and gave you excellent form and provided you with clean and wholesome things. He is God, your Lord. So blessed be God, the Lord of all the worlds.
It is Allah Who has made for you the earth as a resting place, and the sky as a canopy, and has given you shape- and made your shapes beautiful,- and has provided for you Sustenance, of things pure and good;- such is Allah your Lord. So Glory to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!
هُوَ الْحَیُّ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ فَادْعُوْهُ مُخْلِصِیْنَ لَهُ الدِّیْنَؕ-اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۶۵)
He is the living. There is no god but He. Therefore pray to Him with obedience all-exclusive. Praise be to God, the Lord of all the worlds.
He is the Living (One): There is no god but He: Call upon Him, giving Him sincere devotion. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!
قُلْ اِنِّیْ نُهِیْتُ اَنْ اَعْبُدَ الَّذِیْنَ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ لَمَّا جَآءَنِیَ الْبَیِّنٰتُ مِنْ رَّبِّیْ٘-وَ اُمِرْتُ اَنْ اُسْلِمَ لِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۶۶)
Say: "I am forbidden to worship those you call apart from God, since clear signs have come to me from my Lord, and I am commanded to submit to the Lord of all the worlds."
Say: "I have been forbidden to invoke those whom ye invoke besides Allah,- seeing that the Clear Signs have come to me from my Lord; and I have been commanded to bow (in Islam) to the Lord of the Worlds."
هُوَ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ یُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلًا ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوْۤا اَشُدَّكُمْ ثُمَّ لِتَكُوْنُوْا شُیُوْخًاۚ-وَ مِنْكُمْ مَّنْ یُّتَوَفّٰى مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ لِتَبْلُغُوْۤا اَجَلًا مُّسَمًّى وَّ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ(۶۷)
It is He who created you from dust, then a drop of semen, then the embryo; afterwards He brings you forth as a child; then you attain the age of manhood, and then reach old age. But some of you die before you reach the appointed term that you may haply understand.
It is He Who has created you from dust then from a sperm-drop, then from a leech-like clot; then does he get you out (into the light) as a child: then lets you (grow and) reach your age of full strength; then lets you become old,- though of you there are some who die before;- and lets you reach a Term appointed; in order that ye may learn wisdom.
هُوَ الَّذِیْ یُحْیٖ وَ یُمِیْتُۚ-فَاِذَا قَضٰۤى اَمْرًا فَاِنَّمَا یَقُوْلُ لَهٗ كُنْ فَیَكُوْنُ۠(۶۸)
It is He who gives you life and death. When He creates a thing, He has only to say: "Be," and it is.
It is He Who gives Life and Death; and when He decides upon an affair, He says to it, "Be", and it is.
اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِیْنَ یُجَادِلُوْنَ فِیْۤ اٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِؕ-اَنّٰى یُصْرَفُوْنَ ﳝ(۶۹)
Have you not seen how those who dispute the signs of God are turned away?
Seest thou not those that dispute concerning the Signs of Allah? How are they turned away (from Reality)?-
الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِالْكِتٰبِ وَ بِمَاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا بِهٖ رُسُلَنَا ﱡ فَسَوْفَ یَعْلَمُوْنَۙ(۷۰)
Those who deny the Book and what We have sent down with Our apostles, will soon come to know
Those who reject the Book and the (revelations) with which We sent our messengers: but soon shall they know,-
اِذِ الْاَغْلٰلُ فِیْۤ اَعْنَاقِهِمْ وَ السَّلٰسِلُؕ-یُسْحَبُوْنَۙ(۷۱)
When, with (iron) collars and chains around their necks, they will be dragged
When the yokes (shall be) round their necks, and the chains; they shall be dragged along-
فِی الْحَمِیْمِ ﳔ ثُمَّ فِی النَّارِ یُسْجَرُوْنَۚ(۷۲)
Through boiling water, and then burnt in the Fire.
In the boiling fetid fluid: then in the Fire shall they be burned;
ثُمَّ قِیْلَ لَهُمْ اَیْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تُشْرِكُوْنَۙ(۷۳)
They will then be asked: "Where are they you took as partners
Then shall it be said to them: "Where are the (deities) to which ye gave part-worship-
مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِؕ-قَالُوْا ضَلُّوْا عَنَّا بَلْ لَّمْ نَكُنْ نَّدْعُوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ شَیْــٴًـاؕ-كَذٰلِكَ یُضِلُّ اللّٰهُ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ(۷۴)
Apart from God?" They will answer: "They have left us in the lurch and fled. In fact it was nothing that we prayed to before." That is how God sends the unbelievers astray.
"In derogation of Allah?" They will reply: "They have left us in the lurch: Nay, we invoked not, of old, anything (that had real existence)." Thus does Allah leave the Unbelievers to stray.
ذٰلِكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَفْرَحُوْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ بِغَیْرِ الْحَقِّ وَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَمْرَحُوْنَۚ(۷۵)
"This is so because you went about exulting wrongfully in the land," (will they be told), "and you were insolent.
"That was because ye were wont to rejoice on the earth in things other than the Truth, and that ye were wont to be insolent.
اُدْخُلُوْۤا اَبْوَابَ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاۚ-فَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِیْنَ(۷۶)
So enter the gates of Hell to abide in it for ever." How evil the abode of the arrogant!
"Enter ye the gates of Hell, to dwell therein: and evil is (this) abode of the arrogant!"
فَاصْبِرْ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّۚ-فَاِمَّا نُرِیَنَّكَ بَعْضَ الَّذِیْ نَعِدُهُمْ اَوْ نَتَوَفَّیَنَّكَ فَاِلَیْنَا یُرْجَعُوْنَ(۷۷)
So you persevere with patience (in your mission). The promise of God is true. Whether We show you some of the punishment We have promised them, or gather you up in death, they have to come back to Us.
So persevere in patience; for the Promise of Allah is true: and whether We show thee (in this life) some part of what We promise them,- or We take thy soul (to Our Mercy) (before that),-(in any case) it is to Us that they shall (all) return.
وَ لَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ قَصَصْنَا عَلَیْكَ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ لَّمْ نَقْصُصْ عَلَیْكَؕ-وَ مَا كَانَ لِرَسُوْلٍ اَنْ یَّاْتِیَ بِاٰیَةٍ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِۚ-فَاِذَا جَآءَ اَمْرُ اللّٰهِ قُضِیَ بِالْحَقِّ وَ خَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ الْمُبْطِلُوْنَ۠(۷۸)
Surely We have sent apostles before you, some of whose account We have related to you, and that of some We have not told you. But no apostle was given a miracle unless God dispensed. But when the decree of God comes the sentence is passed with justice; and the lovers of vice and vanity will then come to grief.
We did aforetime send messengers before thee: of them there are some whose story We have related to thee, and some whose story We have not related to thee. It was not (possible) for any messenger to bring a sign except by the leave of Allah: but when the Command of Allah issued, the matter was decided in truth and justice, and there perished, there and then those who stood on Falsehoods.
اَللّٰهُ الَّذِیْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَنْعَامَ لِتَرْكَبُوْا مِنْهَا وَ مِنْهَا تَاْكُلُوْنَ٘(۷۹)
It is God who made the cattle for you so that some you ride and some you eat.
It is Allah Who made cattle for you, that ye may use some for riding and some for food;
وَ لَكُمْ فِیْهَا مَنَافِعُ وَ لِتَبْلُغُوْا عَلَیْهَا حَاجَةً فِیْ صُدُوْرِكُمْ وَ عَلَیْهَا وَ عَلَى الْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُوْنَؕ(۸۰)
There are advantages for you in them, so that you may satisfy your needs through them, and may be borne upon them and on ships.
And there are (other) advantages in them for you (besides); that ye may through them attain to any need (there may be) in your hearts; and on them and on ships ye are carried.
