بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
الٓرٰ- كِتٰبٌ اُحْكِمَتْ اٰیٰتُهٗ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ مِنْ لَّدُنْ حَكِیْمٍ خَبِیْرٍۙ(۱)
ALIF LAM RA. This is a Book whose verses are indeclinable and distinct, which comes from One who is most wise and all-knowing,
A. L. R. (This is) a Book, with verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning), further explained in detail,- from One Who is Wise and Well-acquainted (with all things):
اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلَّا اللّٰهَؕ-اِنَّنِیْ لَكُمْ مِّنْهُ نَذِیْرٌ وَّ بَشِیْرٌۙ(۲)
(Proclaiming) that you should worship none but God. Verily I bring to you from Him a message of warning and rejoicing,
(It teacheth) that ye should worship none but Allah. (Say): "Verily I am (sent) unto you from Him to warn and to bring glad tidings:
وَّ اَنِ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ یُمَتِّعْكُمْ مَّتَاعًا حَسَنًا اِلٰۤى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَّ یُؤْتِ كُلَّ ذِیْ فَضْلٍ فَضْلَهٗؕ-وَ اِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَیْكُمْ عَذَابَ یَوْمٍ كَبِیْرٍ(۳)
And that you should seek His forgiveness and turn towards Him. He will bestow the best things of life on you for a time ordained, and favour those with blessings who are worthy of grace. But if you turn away, I fear the punishment of a terrible Day for you.
"(And to preach thus), 'Seek ye the forgiveness of your Lord, and turn to Him in repentance; that He may grant you enjoyment, good (and true), for a term appointed, and bestow His abounding grace on all who abound in merit! But if ye turn away, then I fear for you the penalty of a great day:
اِلَى اللّٰهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْۚ-وَ هُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ(۴)
To God have you to go back, and He has power over everything.
'To Allah is your return, and He hath power over all things.'"
اَلَاۤ اِنَّهُمْ یَثْنُوْنَ صُدُوْرَهُمْ لِیَسْتَخْفُوْا مِنْهُؕ-اَلَا حِیْنَ یَسْتَغْشُوْنَ ثِیَابَهُمْۙ-یَعْلَمُ مَا یُسِرُّوْنَ وَ مَا یُعْلِنُوْنَۚ-اِنَّهٗ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ(۵)
Look, how they double up their breasts in order to hide from Him. But when they cover themselves up with their garments, He knows what they hide and what they expose. Indeed, He knows the secrets of the hearts.
Behold! they fold up their hearts, that they may lie hid from Him! Ah even when they cover themselves with their garments, He knoweth what they conceal, and what they reveal: for He knoweth well the (inmost secrets) of the hearts.
وَ مَا مِنْ دَآبَّةٍ فِی الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا عَلَى اللّٰهِ رِزْقُهَا وَ یَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَ مُسْتَوْدَعَهَاؕ-كُلٌّ فِیْ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِیْنٍ(۶)
There is not a creature that moves on the earth whose nourishment is not provided by God, whose place of sojourning and depositing is not known to Him. All things conform to a manifest law.
There is no moving creature on earth but its sustenance dependeth on Allah: He knoweth the time and place of its definite abode and its temporary deposit: All is in a clear Record.
وَ هُوَ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ فِیْ سِتَّةِ اَیَّامٍ وَّ كَانَ عَرْشُهٗ عَلَى الْمَآءِ لِیَبْلُوَكُمْ اَیُّكُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًاؕ-وَ لَىٕنْ قُلْتَ اِنَّكُمْ مَّبْعُوْثُوْنَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ الْمَوْتِ لَیَقُوْلَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ(۷)
It is He who created the heavens and the earth In six spans, and has control over the waters (of life) so that he may bring out the best that everyone of you could do. Yet if you said to them: "You shall certainly be raised from the dead," the unbelievers will say: "This will be nothing but sorcery."
He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days - and His Throne was over the waters - that He might try you, which of you is best in conduct. But if thou wert to say to them, "Ye shall indeed be raised up after death", the Unbelievers would be sure to say, "This is nothing but obvious sorcery!"
وَ لَىٕنْ اَخَّرْنَا عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ اِلٰۤى اُمَّةٍ مَّعْدُوْدَةٍ لَّیَقُوْلُنَّ مَا یَحْبِسُهٗؕ-اَلَا یَوْمَ یَاْتِیْهِمْ لَیْسَ مَصْرُوْفًا عَنْهُمْ وَ حَاقَ بِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ یَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ۠(۸)
If We defer their punishment for a certain time, they will say: "What is keeping it back?" And yet, the day it comes, they will not be able to avert it; and what they used to laugh at will encompass them.
If We delay the penalty for them for a definite term, they are sure to say, "What keeps it back?" Ah! On the day it (actually) reaches them, nothing will turn it away from them, and they will be completely encircled by that which they used to mock at!
وَ لَىٕنْ اَذَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعْنٰهَا مِنْهُۚ-اِنَّهٗ لَیَـٴُـوْسٌ كَفُوْرٌ(۹)
If We allow man to enjoy Our favours, and then take them away from him, he becomes despondent and ungrateful.
If We give man a taste of Mercy from Ourselves, and then withdraw it from him, behold! he is in despair and (falls into) blasphemy.
وَ لَىٕنْ اَذَقْنٰهُ نَعْمَآءَ بَعْدَ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَیَقُوْلَنَّ ذَهَبَ السَّیِّاٰتُ عَنِّیْؕ-اِنَّهٗ لَفَرِحٌ فَخُوْرٌۙ(۱۰)
If We let him taste Our favours after adversity, he says: "Misfortune has left me," and begins to brag and exult,
But if We give him a taste of (Our) favours after adversity hath touched him, he is sure to say, "All evil has departed from me:" Behold! he falls into exultation and pride.
اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ صَبَرُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّ اَجْرٌ كَبِیْرٌ(۱۱)
Except those who endure with patience and do the right, who will have pardon and a great reward.
Not so do those who show patience and constancy, and work righteousness; for them is forgiveness (of sins) and a great reward.
فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكٌۢ بَعْضَ مَا یُوْحٰۤى اِلَیْكَ وَ ضَآىٕقٌۢ بِهٖ صَدْرُكَ اَنْ یَّقُوْلُوْا لَوْ لَاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَیْهِ كَنْزٌ اَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهٗ مَلَكٌؕ-اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ نَذِیْرٌؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ وَّكِیْلٌؕ(۱۲)
You may haply omit some of what has been revealed to you, and may be disheartened because they say: "Why was no treasure sent down to him, or an angel accompanied him?" Yet you have been sent to warn alone, for God takes care of everything.
Perchance thou mayest (feel the inclination) to give up a part of what is revealed unto thee, and thy heart feeleth straitened lest they say, "Why is not a treasure sent down unto him, or why does not an angel come down with him?" But thou art there only to warn! It is Allah that arrangeth all affairs!
اَمْ یَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰىهُؕ-قُلْ فَاْتُوْا بِعَشْرِ سُوَرٍ مِّثْلِهٖ مُفْتَرَیٰتٍ وَّ ادْعُوْا مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ(۱۳)
Do they say (of the Prophet): "He has forged (the Qur´an)?" Say: "Then bring ten Surahs like it, and call anyone except God to help you, if what you say is true."
Or they may say, "He forged it," Say, "Bring ye then ten suras forged, like unto it, and call (to your aid) whomsoever ye can, other than Allah!- If ye speak the truth!
فَاِلَّمْ یَسْتَجِیْبُوْا لَكُمْ فَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ بِعِلْمِ اللّٰهِ وَ اَنْ لَّاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ-فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ(۱۴)
If they do not answer you, then know it has been revealed with the knowledge of God, and that there is no god but He. (And say:) "Will you now submit?"
"If then they (your false gods) answer not your (call), know ye that this revelation is sent down (replete) with the knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god but He! will ye even then submit (to Islam)?"
مَنْ كَانَ یُرِیْدُ الْحَیٰوةَ الدُّنْیَا وَ زِیْنَتَهَا نُوَفِّ اِلَیْهِمْ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فِیْهَا وَ هُمْ فِیْهَا لَا یُبْخَسُوْنَ(۱۵)
To those who desire the life of this world and its many allures, We shall pay them in full for their acts herein and will not withold any thing.
Those who desire the life of the present and its glitter,- to them we shall pay (the price of) their deeds therein,- without diminution.
اُولٰٓىٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ لَیْسَ لَهُمْ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا النَّارُ ﳲ وَ حَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُوْا فِیْهَا وَ بٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ(۱۶)
Yet these are the people for whom there is nothing but Fire in the world to come. Fruitless will be what they have fashioned, and whatever they have done will perish.
They are those for whom there is nothing in the Hereafter but the Fire: vain are the designs they frame therein, and of no effect and the deeds that they do!
اَفَمَنْ كَانَ عَلٰى بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ وَ یَتْلُوْهُ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْهُ وَ مِنْ قَبْلِهٖ كِتٰبُ مُوْسٰۤى اِمَامًا وَّ رَحْمَةًؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّكْفُرْ بِهٖ مِنَ الْاَحْزَابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهٗۚ-فَلَا تَكُ فِیْ مِرْیَةٍ مِّنْهُۗ-اِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ وَ لٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ(۱۷)
Will he who has a clear proof from his Lord, which acts as evidence from Him, before which the Book of Moses was a way-giver and a grace, (not believe in it)? Whoever among the partisans does not believe in it shall have Hell as the promised award. So have no doubt about it, for surely it´s the truth from your Lord, though most men may not believe.
Can they be (like) those who accept a Clear (Sign) from their Lord, and whom a witness from Himself doth teach, as did the Book of Moses before it,- a guide and a mercy? They believe therein; but those of the Sects that reject it,- the Fire will be their promised meeting-place. Be not then in doubt thereon: for it is the truth from thy Lord: yet many among men do not believe!
وَ مَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًاؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ یُعْرَضُوْنَ عَلٰى رَبِّهِمْ وَ یَقُوْلُ الْاَشْهَادُ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَبُوْا عَلٰى رَبِّهِمْۚ-اَلَا لَعْنَةُ اللّٰهِ عَلَى الظّٰلِمِیْنَۙ(۱۸)
Who is more wicked than he who invents lies about God? Such men shall be arraigned before their Lord, and the witnesses will testify: "These are those who imputed lies to God." Beware! The scourge of God will fall on the unjust,
Who doth more wrong than those who invent a life against Allah? They will be turned back to the presence of their Lord, and the witnesses will say, "These are the ones who lied against their Lord! Behold! the Curse of Allah is on those who do wrong!-
الَّذِیْنَ یَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَ یَبْغُوْنَهَا عِوَجًاؕ-وَ هُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ(۱۹)
Who obstruct others from the way of God and seek obliquity in it, and do not believe in the life to come.
"Those who would hinder (men) from the path of Allah and would seek in it something crooked: these were they who denied the Hereafter!"
اُولٰٓىٕكَ لَمْ یَكُوْنُوْا مُعْجِزِیْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ اَوْلِیَآءَۘ-یُضٰعَفُ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابُؕ-مَا كَانُوْا یَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ السَّمْعَ وَ مَا كَانُوْا یُبْصِرُوْنَ(۲۰)
They shall not weaken (the power of) God on earth, nor find any other protector but God. Their punishment will be doubled, for they could neither hear nor see.
They will in no wise frustrate (His design) on earth, nor have they protectors besides Allah! Their penalty will be doubled! They lost the power to hear, and they did not see!
اُولٰٓىٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ خَسِرُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ ضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا یَفْتَرُوْنَ(۲۱)
They are verily those who exceeded themselves, and the (gods) they invented abandoned them.
They are the ones who have lost their own souls: and the (fancies) they invented have left them in the lurch!
لَا جَرَمَ اَنَّهُمْ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ هُمُ الْاَخْسَرُوْنَ(۲۲)
Undoubtedly they will be losers in the life to come.
Without a doubt, these are the very ones who will lose most in the Hereafter!
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَ اَخْبَتُوْۤا اِلٰى رَبِّهِمْۙ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِۚ-هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ(۲۳)
But those who believe and do things good, and are humble before their Lord, are men of Paradise where they will abide for ever.
But those who believe and work righteousness, and humble themselves before their Lord,- They will be companions of the gardens, to dwell therein for aye!
مَثَلُ الْفَرِیْقَیْنِ كَالْاَعْمٰى وَ الْاَصَمِّ وَ الْبَصِیْرِ وَ السَّمِیْعِؕ-هَلْ یَسْتَوِیٰنِ مَثَلًاؕ-اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ۠(۲۴)
The semblance of these two groups is that of a man who is deaf and blind, and the other who can hear and see. Can they be equal? Why do you not reflect?
These two kinds (of men) may be compared to the blind and deaf, and those who can see and hear well. Are they equal when compared? Will ye not then take heed?
وَ لَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰى قَوْمِهٖۤ٘-اِنِّیْ لَكُمْ نَذِیْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌۙ(۲۵)
We sent Noah to his people (and he said): "I give you a clear warning.
We sent Noah to his people (with a mission): "I have come to you with a Clear Warning:
اَنْ لَّا تَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلَّا اللّٰهَؕ-اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَیْكُمْ عَذَابَ یَوْمٍ اَلِیْمٍ(۲۶)
Do not worship anyone but God; for I fear the punishment of a dreadful day for you."
"That ye serve none but Allah: Verily I do fear for you the penalty of a grievous day."
فَقَالَ الْمَلَاُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖ مَا نَرٰىكَ اِلَّا بَشَرًا مِّثْلَنَا وَ مَا نَرٰىكَ اتَّبَعَكَ اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ اَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِیَ الرَّاْیِۚ-وَ مَا نَرٰى لَكُمْ عَلَیْنَا مِنْ فَضْلٍۭ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كٰذِبِیْنَ(۲۷)
The leaders of the people who were unbelievers, replied: "We see that you are but a man like us, and see that none among us follows you but the meanest and immature of judgement, and do not see any excellence in you above us. In fact, we think you are a liar."
But the chiefs of the Unbelievers among his people said: "We see (in) thee nothing but a man like ourselves: Nor do we see that any follow thee but the meanest among us, in judgment immature: Nor do we see in you (all) any merit above us: in fact we think ye are liars!"
قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَیْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰى بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّیْ وَ اٰتٰىنِیْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِهٖ فَعُمِّیَتْ عَلَیْكُمْؕ-اَنُلْزِمُكُمُوْهَا وَ اَنْتُمْ لَهَا كٰرِهُوْنَ(۲۸)
He said: "O my people, think. If I have a clear proof from my Lord, and He has bestowed on me His grace, though unknown to you, can we force it upon you when you are averse?
He said: "O my people! See ye if (it be that) I have a Clear Sign from my Lord, and that He hath sent Mercy unto me from His own presence, but that the Mercy hath been obscured from your sight? shall we compel you to accept it when ye are averse to it?
وَ یٰقَوْمِ لَاۤ اَسْــٴَـلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ مَالًاؕ-اِنْ اَجْرِیَ اِلَّا عَلَى اللّٰهِ وَ مَاۤ اَنَا بِطَارِدِ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْاؕ-اِنَّهُمْ مُّلٰقُوْا رَبِّهِمْ وَ لٰكِنِّیْۤ اَرٰىكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُوْنَ(۲۹)
I do not demand for it any wealth from you, O my people. My reward is with God. And I will not drive those away who believe. They have also to meet their Lord. But I see you are an ignorant people.
"And O my people! I ask you for no wealth in return: my reward is from none but Allah: But I will not drive away (in contempt) those who believe: for verily they are to meet their Lord, and ye I see are the ignorant ones!
وَ یٰقَوْمِ مَنْ یَّنْصُرُنِیْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنْ طَرَدْتُّهُمْؕ-اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ(۳۰)
O my people, who will save me from God if I drive them away? Do you not understand?
"And O my people! who would help me against Allah if I drove them away? Will ye not then take heed?
وَ لَاۤ اَقُوْلُ لَكُمْ عِنْدِیْ خَزَآىٕنُ اللّٰهِ وَ لَاۤ اَعْلَمُ الْغَیْبَ وَ لَاۤ اَقُوْلُ اِنِّیْ مَلَكٌ وَّ لَاۤ اَقُوْلُ لِلَّذِیْنَ تَزْدَرِیْۤ اَعْیُنُكُمْ لَنْ یُّؤْتِیَهُمُ اللّٰهُ خَیْرًاؕ-اَللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْۚۖ-اِنِّیْۤ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ(۳۱)
I say not that I have the treasures of God, or that I possess the knowledge of the unknown. I do not claim to be an angel, nor can I say that God will not bestow any good on those you disdain, for God is cognisant of what is in their hearts. If I say this, I will surely be unjust."
"I tell you not that with me are the treasures of Allah, nor do I know what is hidden, nor claim I to be an angel. Nor yet do I say, of those whom your eyes do despise that Allah will not grant them (all) that is good: Allah knoweth best what is in their souls: I should, if I did, indeed be a wrong-doer."
قَالُوْا یٰنُوْحُ قَدْ جٰدَلْتَنَا فَاَكْثَرْتَ جِدَا لَنَا فَاْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ(۳۲)
They said: "O Noah, you have argued with us, and disputed at length; so bring that (retribution) you promise, if you speak the truth."
They said: "O Noah! thou hast disputed with us, and (much) hast thou prolonged the dispute with us: now bring upon us what thou threatenest us with, if thou speakest the truth!?"
قَالَ اِنَّمَا یَاْتِیْكُمْ بِهِ اللّٰهُ اِنْ شَآءَ وَ مَاۤ اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِیْنَ(۳۳)
He replied: "Only God will bring it on you if He please, and you cannot prevail against Him.
He said: "Truly, Allah will bring it on you if He wills,- and then, ye will not be able to frustrate it!
وَ لَا یَنْفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِیْۤ اِنْ اَرَدْتُّ اَنْ اَنْصَحَ لَكُمْ اِنْ كَانَ اللّٰهُ یُرِیْدُ اَنْ یُّغْوِیَكُمْؕ-هُوَ رَبُّكُمْ- وَ اِلَیْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَؕ(۳۴)
Even if I wish to advise you aright, my counsel will not profit you if God intend that you go astray, for He is your Lord and to Him you will return."
"Of no profit will be my counsel to you, much as I desire to give you (good) counsel, if it be that Allah willeth to leave you astray: He is your Lord! and to Him will ye return!"
اَمْ یَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰىهُؕ-قُلْ اِنِ افْتَرَیْتُهٗ فَعَلَیَّ اِجْرَامِیْ وَ اَنَا بَرِیْٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُجْرِمُوْنَ۠(۳۵)
Do they say you have fabricated it? Tell them: "If I have fabricated it, then mine is the guilt; but I am clear of what you are guilty."
Or do they say, "He has forged it"? Say: "If I had forged it, on me were my sin! and I am free of the sins of which ye are guilty!
وَ اُوْحِیَ اِلٰى نُوْحٍ اَنَّهٗ لَنْ یُّؤْمِنَ مِنْ قَوْمِكَ اِلَّا مَنْ قَدْ اٰمَنَ فَلَا تَبْتَىٕسْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَفْعَلُوْنَۚۖ(۳۶)
And Noah was informed through revelation: "Apart from those who have come to believe already not one of your people is going to believe. So grieve not for what they are doing.
It was revealed to Noah: "None of thy people will believe except those who have believed already! So grieve no longer over their (evil) deeds.
وَ اصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِاَعْیُنِنَا وَ وَحْیِنَا وَ لَا تُخَاطِبْنِیْ فِی الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْاۚ-اِنَّهُمْ مُّغْرَقُوْنَ(۳۷)
Build an ark under Our eye and as We instruct. Do not plead for those who have been wicked, for they shall certainly be drowned."
"But construct an Ark under Our eyes and Our inspiration, and address Me no (further) on behalf of those who are in sin: for they are about to be overwhelmed (in the Flood)."
وَ یَصْنَعُ الْفُلْكَ- وَ كُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَیْهِ مَلَاٌ مِّنْ قَوْمِهٖ سَخِرُوْا مِنْهُؕ-قَالَ اِنْ تَسْخَرُوْا مِنَّا فَاِنَّا نَسْخَرُ مِنْكُمْ كَمَا تَسْخَرُوْنَؕ(۳۸)
So he built the ark; and when groups of his people passed by him, they scoffed at him. He said to them: "Though you laugh at us (now), we shall laugh at you, as you are laughing at us.
Forthwith he (starts) constructing the Ark: Every time that the chiefs of his people passed by him, they threw ridicule on him. He said: "If ye ridicule us now, we (in our turn) can look down on you with ridicule likewise!
فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَۙ-مَنْ یَّاْتِیْهِ عَذَابٌ یُّخْزِیْهِ وَ یَحِلُّ عَلَیْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِیْمٌ(۳۹)
You will soon come to know who suffers the punishment that would put him to shame, and who suffers lasting torment."
"But soon will ye know who it is on whom will descend a penalty that will cover them with shame,- on whom will be unloosed a penalty lasting:"
حَتّٰۤى اِذَا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا وَ فَارَ التَّنُّوْرُۙ-قُلْنَا احْمِلْ فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلٍّ زَوْجَیْنِ اثْنَیْنِ وَ اَهْلَكَ اِلَّا مَنْ سَبَقَ عَلَیْهِ الْقَوْلُ وَ مَنْ اٰمَنَؕ-وَ مَاۤ اٰمَنَ مَعَهٗۤ اِلَّا قَلِیْلٌ(۴۰)
When Our command was issued and the waters gushed forth from the source, We said: "Take into (the ark) a pair of every species, and members of your family other than those against whom the sentence has been passed already, and those who come to believe." But only a few believed in him.
At length, behold! there came Our command, and the fountains of the earth gushed forth! We said: "Embark therein, of each kind two, male and female, and your family - except those against whom the word has already gone forth,- and the Believers." but only a few believed with him.
