Surah Hud Recitation, Translation, and Tafseer - The Holy Quran

11:81

قَالُوْا یٰلُوْطُ اِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَنْ یَّصِلُوْۤا اِلَیْكَ فَاَسْرِ بِاَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ الَّیْلِ وَ لَا یَلْتَفِتْ مِنْكُمْ اَحَدٌ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَكَؕ-اِنَّهٗ مُصِیْبُهَا مَاۤ اَصَابَهُمْؕ-اِنَّ مَوْعِدَهُمُ الصُّبْحُؕ-اَلَیْسَ الصُّبْحُ بِقَرِیْبٍ(۸۱)

(The angels) said: "O Lot, we have verily been sent by your Lord. They will never be able to harm you. So, leave late at night with your family, and none of you should turn back to look; but your wife will suffer (the fate) they are going to suffer. Their hour of doom is in the morning: Is not the morning nigh?"

(The Messengers) said: "O Lut! We are Messengers from thy Lord! By no means shall they reach thee! now travel with thy family while yet a part of the night remains, and let not any of you look back: but thy wife (will remain behind): To her will happen what happens to the people. Morning is their time appointed: Is not the morning nigh?"

11:82

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا جَعَلْنَا عَالِیَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَ اَمْطَرْنَا عَلَیْهَا حِجَارَةً مِّنْ سِجِّیْلٍ ﳔ مَّنْضُوْدٍۙ(۸۲)

So when the decreed moment arrived, We turned the habitations upside down, and rained upon them stones of hardened lava in quick succession,

When Our Decree issued, We turned (the cities) upside down, and rained down on them brimstones hard as baked clay, spread, layer on layer,-

11:83

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِنْدَ رَبِّكَؕ-وَ مَا هِیَ مِنَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ بِبَعِیْدٍ۠(۸۳)

Impressed with (the signs) of your Lord. And such (punishment) is not far for the (other) transgressers.

Marked as from thy Lord: Nor are they ever far from those who do wrong!

11:84

وَ اِلٰى مَدْیَنَ اَخَاهُمْ شُعَیْبًاؕ-قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَیْرُهٗؕ-وَ لَا تَنْقُصُوا الْمِكْیَالَ وَ الْمِیْزَانَ اِنِّیْۤ اَرٰىكُمْ بِخَیْرٍ وَّ اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَیْكُمْ عَذَابَ یَوْمٍ مُّحِیْطٍ(۸۴)

We sent to Midian their brother Shu´aib. He said: "O my people, worship God; you have no other god but He. So do not give in short measure nor underweigh. I see you are prosperous, but I fear the doom of an overwhelming Day for you.

To the Madyan People (We sent) Shu'aib, one of their own brethren: he said: "O my people! worship Allah: Ye have no other god but Him. And give not short measure or weight: I see you in prosperity, but I fear for you the penalty of a day that will compass (you) all round.

11:85

وَ یٰقَوْمِ اَوْفُوا الْمِكْیَالَ وَ الْمِیْزَانَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَ لَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ اَشْیَآءَهُمْ وَ لَا تَعْثَوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِیْنَ(۸۵)

So, O my people, weigh and measure with justness, and do not withhold things due to men, and do not spread corruption in the land, despoiling it.

"And O my people! give just measure and weight, nor withhold from the people the things that are their due: commit not evil in the land with intent to do mischief.

11:86

بَقِیَّتُ اللّٰهِ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ ﳛ وَ مَاۤ اَنَا عَلَیْكُمْ بِحَفِیْظٍ(۸۶)

That which is left to you by God is better, if you are true believers; yet I am not a warden over you."

"That which is left you by Allah is best for you, if ye (but) believed! but I am not set over you to keep watch!"

11:87

قَالُوْا یٰشُعَیْبُ اَصَلٰوتُكَ تَاْمُرُكَ اَنْ نَّتْرُكَ مَا یَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَاۤ اَوْ اَنْ نَّفْعَلَ فِیْۤ اَمْوَالِنَا مَا نَشٰٓؤُاؕ-اِنَّكَ لَاَنْتَ الْحَلِیْمُ الرَّشِیْدُ(۸۷)

They said: "O Shu´aib, does your piety teach that we should abandon what our fathers worshipped, or desist from doing what we like with our goods? How gracious a man of discernment you are indeed!"

They said: "O Shu'aib! Does thy (religion of) prayer command thee that we leave off the worship which our fathers practised, or that we leave off doing what we like with our property? truly, thou art the one that forbeareth with faults and is right-minded!"

11:88

قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَیْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰى بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّیْ وَ رَزَقَنِیْ مِنْهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًاؕ-وَ مَاۤ اُرِیْدُ اَنْ اُخَالِفَكُمْ اِلٰى مَاۤ اَنْهٰىكُمْ عَنْهُؕ-اِنْ اُرِیْدُ اِلَّا الْاِصْلَاحَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُؕ-وَ مَا تَوْفِیْقِیْۤ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِؕ-عَلَیْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ اِلَیْهِ اُنِیْبُ(۸۸)

He said: "O my people, think. I have a clear sign from my Lord, who has also given me a goodly provision, and I do not wish for myself what I forbid you: I only wish to reform you as best I can. My success is from God alone. In Him I have placed my trust, and to Him I turn.

He said: "O my people! see ye whether I have a Clear (Sign) from my Lord, and He hath given me sustenance (pure and) good as from Himself? I wish not, in opposition to you, to do that which I forbid you to do. I only desire (your) betterment to the best of my power; and my success (in my task) can only come from Allah. In Him I trust, and unto Him I look.

11:89

وَ یٰقَوْمِ لَا یَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شِقَاقِیْۤ اَنْ یُّصِیْبَكُمْ مِّثْلُ مَاۤ اَصَابَ قَوْمَ نُوْحٍ اَوْ قَوْمَ هُوْدٍ اَوْ قَوْمَ صٰلِحٍؕ-وَ مَا قَوْمُ لُوْطٍ مِّنْكُمْ بِبَعِیْدٍ(۸۹)

"O my people (I fear) lest your opposition to me should bring you the like of what befell the people of Noah or Hud or Saleh; and the people of Lot are not distant from you.

"And O my people! let not my dissent (from you) cause you to sin, lest ye suffer a fate similar to that of the people of Noah or of Hud or of Salih, nor are the people of Lut far off from you!

11:90

وَ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَیْهِؕ-اِنَّ رَبِّیْ رَحِیْمٌ وَّدُوْدٌ(۹۰)

"Beg your Lord to forgive you, and turn to Him. Indeed my Lord is compassionate and loving."

"But ask forgiveness of your Lord, and turn unto Him (in repentance): For my Lord is indeed full of mercy and loving-kindness."

11:91

قَالُوْا یٰشُعَیْبُ مَا نَفْقَهُ كَثِیْرًا مِّمَّا تَقُوْلُ وَ اِنَّا لَنَرٰىكَ فِیْنَا ضَعِیْفًاۚ-وَ لَوْ لَا رَهْطُكَ لَرَجَمْنٰكَ٘-وَ مَاۤ اَنْتَ عَلَیْنَا بِعَزِیْزٍ(۹۱)

They said: "O Shu´aib, much of what you say is meaningless to us, and then (for sure) you are powerless among us. But for your clan we would have stoned you to death. You have no power over us.

They said: "O Shu'aib! much of what thou sayest we do not understand! In fact among us we see that thou hast no strength! Were it not for thy family, we should certainly have stoned thee! for thou hast among us no great position!"

11:92

قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اَرَهْطِیْۤ اَعَزُّ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِؕ-وَ اتَّخَذْتُمُوْهُ وَرَآءَكُمْ ظِهْرِیًّاؕ-اِنَّ رَبِّیْ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ مُحِیْطٌ(۹۲)

He said: "My clan seems mightier to you than God whom you neglect and push behind your backs. Surely what you do is within the power of my Lord.

He said: "O my people! is then my family of more consideration with you than Allah? For ye cast Him away behind your backs (with contempt). But verily my Lord encompasseth on all sides all that ye do!

11:93

وَ یٰقَوْمِ اعْمَلُوْا عَلٰى مَكَانَتِكُمْ اِنِّیْ عَامِلٌؕ-سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَۙ-مَنْ یَّاْتِیْهِ عَذَابٌ یُّخْزِیْهِ وَ مَنْ هُوَ كَاذِبٌؕ-وَ ارْتَقِبُوْۤا اِنِّیْ مَعَكُمْ رَقِیْبٌ(۹۳)

Do on your part what you can, O people, I will do what I will. You will come to know who suffers the punishment that would put him to shame, and who is the liar. So watch; I am watching with you."

"And O my people! Do whatever ye can: I will do (my part): Soon will ye know who it is on whom descends the penalty of ignominy; and who is a liar! and watch ye! for I too am watching with you!"

11:94

وَ لَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّیْنَا شُعَیْبًا وَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَ اَخَذَتِ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّیْحَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِیْ دِیَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِیْنَۙ(۹۴)

And when Our word came to pass, We rescued Shu´aib and those who believed, with him, by Our grace, but those who were wicked were seized by a punishment from heaven, and lay overturned in their homes in the morning.

When Our decree issued, We saved Shu'aib and those who believed with him, by (special) mercy from Ourselves: But the (mighty) blast did seize the wrong-doers, and they lay prostrate in their homes by the morning,-

11:95

كَاَنْ لَّمْ یَغْنَوْا فِیْهَاؕ-اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّمَدْیَنَ كَمَا بَعِدَتْ ثَمُوْدُ۠(۹۵)

As though they had not dwelt there at all. Beware! Condemmed were the people of Midian as those of Thamud had been before them!

As if they had never dwelt and flourished there! Ah! Behold! How the Madyan were removed (from sight) as were removed the Thamud!

11:96

وَ لَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مُوْسٰى بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَ سُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِیْنٍۙ(۹۶)

We sent Moses with Our signs and full authority

And we sent Moses, with Our Clear (Signs) and an authority manifest,

11:97

اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ وَ مَلَاۡىٕهٖ فَاتَّبَعُوْۤا اَمْرَ فِرْعَوْنَۚ-وَ مَاۤ اَمْرُ فِرْعَوْنَ بِرَشِیْدٍ(۹۷)

To the Pharaoh and his nobles, but they followed the bidding of Pharaoh, though the bidding of Pharaoh was unrightful.

Unto Pharaoh and his chiefs: but they followed the command of Pharaoh and the command of Pharaoh was no right (guide).

11:98

یَقْدُمُ قَوْمَهٗ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ فَاَوْرَدَهُمُ النَّارَؕ-وَ بِئْسَ الْوِرْدُ الْمَوْرُوْدُ(۹۸)

He shall be at the head of his people on the Day of Resurrection, and drive them into Hell like cattle driven to water -- what an evil watering-place to reach!

He will go before his people on the Day of Judgment, and lead them into the Fire (as cattle are led to water): But woeful indeed will be the place to which they are led!

11:99

وَ اُتْبِعُوْا فِیْ هٰذِهٖ لَعْنَةً وَّ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِؕ-بِئْسَ الرِّفْدُ الْمَرْفُوْدُ(۹۹)

Damned will they be in this world, and on the Day of Doom how evil the gift that they will receive!

And they are followed by a curse in this (life) and on the Day of Judgment: and woeful is the gift which shall be given (unto them)!

11:100

ذٰلِكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ الْقُرٰى نَقُصُّهٗ عَلَیْكَ مِنْهَا قَآىٕمٌ وَّ حَصِیْدٌ(۱۰۰)

These are a few accounts of settlements that We narrate to you. Some still survive, and some have been mowed down.

These are some of the stories of communities which We relate unto thee: of them some are standing, and some have been mown down (by the sickle of time).

11:101

وَ مَا ظَلَمْنٰهُمْ وَ لٰكِنْ ظَلَمُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ فَمَاۤ اَغْنَتْ عَنْهُمْ اٰلِهَتُهُمُ الَّتِیْ یَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَیْءٍ لَّمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُ رَبِّكَؕ-وَ مَا زَادُوْهُمْ غَیْرَ تَتْبِیْبٍ(۱۰۱)

We did not wrong them; they wronged themselves. When your Lord´s chastisement descended upon them, their gods, on whom they called apart from God, were not of the least avail, and all they did was only to add to their destruction.

It was not We that wronged them: They wronged their own souls: the deities, other than Allah, whom they invoked, profited them no whit when there issued the decree of thy Lord: Nor did they add aught (to their lot) but perdition!

11:102

وَ كَذٰلِكَ اَخْذُ رَبِّكَ اِذَاۤ اَخَذَ الْقُرٰى وَ هِیَ ظَالِمَةٌؕ-اِنَّ اَخْذَهٗۤ اَلِیْمٌ شَدِیْدٌ(۱۰۲)

Such is the punishment of your Lord when He seizes human settlements in the acts of wickedness. Surely His hold is grievous and terrible.

Such is the chastisement of thy Lord when He chastises communities in the midst of their wrong: grievous, indeed, and severe is His chastisement.

11:103

اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَةً لِّمَنْ خَافَ عَذَابَ الْاٰخِرَةِؕ-ذٰلِكَ یَوْمٌ مَّجْمُوْعٌۙ-لَّهُ النَّاسُ وَ ذٰلِكَ یَوْمٌ مَّشْهُوْدٌ(۱۰۳)

In this surely is a sign for him who fears the torment of the Hereafter, the day when mankind will be assembled together, which will be a day when all things would become evident.

In that is a Sign for those who fear the penalty of the Hereafter: that is a Day for which mankind will be gathered together: that will be a Day of Testimony.

11:104

وَ مَا نُؤَخِّرُهٗۤ اِلَّا لِاَجَلٍ مَّعْدُوْدٍؕ(۱۰۴)

We are deferring it only for a time ordained.

Nor shall We delay it but for a term appointed.

11:105

یَوْمَ یَاْتِ لَا تَكَلَّمُ نَفْسٌ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِهٖۚ-فَمِنْهُمْ شَقِیٌّ وَّ سَعِیْدٌ(۱۰۵)

The day it comes no soul will dare say a word but by His leave; and some will be wretched, some will be blessed.

The day it arrives, no soul shall speak except by His leave: of those (gathered) some will be wretched and some will be blessed.

11:106

فَاَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ شَقُوْا فَفِی النَّارِ لَهُمْ فِیْهَا زَفِیْرٌ وَّ شَهِیْقٌۙ(۱۰۶)

And those who are doomed, will be in Hell: For them will be sighing and sobbing,

Those who are wretched shall be in the Fire: There will be for them therein (nothing but) the heaving of sighs and sobs:

11:107

خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَ الْاَرْضُ اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَؕ-اِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا یُرِیْدُ(۱۰۷)

Where they will dwell so long as heaven and earth endure, unless your Lord will otherwise. Verily your Lord does as He wills.

They will dwell therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as thy Lord willeth: for thy Lord is the (sure) accomplisher of what He planneth.

11:108

وَ اَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ سُعِدُوْا فَفِی الْجَنَّةِ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَ الْاَرْضُ اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَؕ-عَطَآءً غَیْرَ مَجْذُوْذٍ(۱۰۸)

Those who are blessed will be in Paradise, where they will dwell so long as heaven and earth survive, unless your Lord wills otherwise: This will be a gift uninterrupted.

And those who are blessed shall be in the Garden: They will dwell therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as thy Lord willeth: a gift without break.

11:109

فَلَا تَكُ فِیْ مِرْیَةٍ مِّمَّا یَعْبُدُ هٰۤؤُلَآءِؕ-مَا یَعْبُدُوْنَ اِلَّا كَمَا یَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُهُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُؕ-وَ اِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوْهُمْ نَصِیْبَهُمْ غَیْرَ مَنْقُوْصٍ۠(۱۰۹)

So, you should not entertain any doubt about those whom they worship: They only worship what their fathers had worshipped before them. We shall verily give them their meed without diminution.

Be not then in doubt as to what these men worship. They worship nothing but what their fathers worshipped before (them): but verily We shall pay them back (in full) their portion without (the least) abatement.

11:110

وَ لَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فِیْهِؕ-وَ لَوْ لَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِیَ بَیْنَهُمْؕ-وَ اِنَّهُمْ لَفِیْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِیْبٍ(۱۱۰)

Verily We gave to Moses the Book, but there was disagreement about it. Had the decree of your Lord (delaying it) not been issued the matter would have been settled between them. They are still suspicious of it and in doubt.

We certainly gave the Book to Moses, but differences arose therein: had it not been that a word had gone forth before from thy Lord, the matter would have been decided between them, but they are in suspicious doubt concerning it.

11:111

وَ اِنَّ كُلًّا لَّمَّا لَیُوَفِّیَنَّهُمْ رَبُّكَ اَعْمَالَهُمْؕ-اِنَّهٗ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِیْرٌ(۱۱۱)

Surely your Lord will reward everyone in accordance with his deeds. He is certainly aware of all they do.

And, of a surety, to all will your Lord pay back (in full the recompense) of their deeds: for He knoweth well all that they do.

11:112

فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَاۤ اُمِرْتَ وَ مَنْ تَابَ مَعَكَ وَ لَا تَطْغَوْاؕ-اِنَّهٗ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ(۱۱۲)

So, you and those who turned to God with you, should walk along the straight path as you have been commanded, and do not transgress, for He verily sees whatsoever you do.

Therefore stand firm (in the straight Path) as thou art commanded,- thou and those who with thee turn (unto Allah); and transgress not (from the Path): for He seeth well all that ye do.

11:113

وَ لَا تَرْكَنُوْۤا اِلَى الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُۙ-وَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ اَوْلِیَآءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْصَرُوْنَ(۱۱۳)

Do not lean towards the wicked, or you will be caught in the flames of Hell, and have none to befriend you other than God, nor will you be given help.

And incline not to those who do wrong, or the Fire will seize you; and ye have no protectors other than Allah, nor shall ye be helped.

11:114

وَ اَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ طَرَفَیِ النَّهَارِ وَ زُلَفًا مِّنَ الَّیْلِؕ-اِنَّ الْحَسَنٰتِ یُذْهِبْنَ السَّیِّاٰتِؕ-ذٰلِكَ ذِكْرٰى لِلذّٰكِرِیْنَۚ(۱۱۴)

Stand up for the service of prayer at the two ends of day and the first watch of night. Remember that good deeds nullify the bad. This is a reminder for those who are observant.

And establish regular prayers at the two ends of the day and at the approaches of the night: For those things, that are good remove those that are evil: Be that the word of remembrance to those who remember (their Lord):

11:115

وَ اصْبِرْ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُضِیْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ(۱۱۵)

Be steadfast, for verily God does not let the reward of those who are upright and do good to go waste.

And be steadfast in patience; for verily Allah will not suffer the reward of the righteous to perish.

11:116

فَلَوْ لَا كَانَ مِنَ الْقُرُوْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ اُولُوْا بَقِیَّةٍ یَّنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْفَسَادِ فِی الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا مِّمَّنْ اَنْجَیْنَا مِنْهُمْۚ-وَ اتَّبَعَ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مَاۤ اُتْرِفُوْا فِیْهِ وَ كَانُوْا مُجْرِمِیْنَ(۱۱۶)

If only there had been men endued with virtue in the ages before you, who could preserve men from doing evil in the world, other than the few We saved from among them. Those who were wicked followed that which made them dissolute, and became sinners.

Why were there not, among the generations before you, persons possessed of balanced good sense, prohibiting (men) from mischief in the earth - except a few among them whom We saved (from harm)? But the wrong-doers pursued the enjoyment of the good things of life which were given them, and persisted in sin.

11:117

وَ مَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِیُهْلِكَ الْقُرٰى بِظُلْمٍ وَّ اَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُوْنَ(۱۱۷)

Your Lord would not surely destroy unjustly human habitations so long as the people are righteous.

Nor would thy Lord be the One to destroy communities for a single wrong-doing, if its members were likely to mend.

11:118

وَ لَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ النَّاسَ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً وَّ لَا یَزَالُوْنَ مُخْتَلِفِیْنَۙ(۱۱۸)

But if your Lord had pleased He could have made all human beings into one community of belief. But they would still have differed from one another,

If thy Lord had so willed, He could have made mankind one people: but they will not cease to dispute.

11:119

اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَؕ-وَ لِذٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمْؕ-وَ تَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَاَمْلَــٴَـنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَ النَّاسِ اَجْمَعِیْنَ(۱۱۹)

Except those on whom your Lord had mercy for which He has created them. But fulfilled shall be the word of your Lord. "I will fill up Hell with jinns and men."

Except those on whom thy Lord hath bestowed His Mercy: and for this did He create them: and the Word of thy Lord shall be fulfilled: "I will fill Hell with jinns and men all together."

11:120

وَ كُلًّا نَّقُصُّ عَلَیْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ الرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهٖ فُؤَادَكَۚ-وَ جَآءَكَ فِیْ هٰذِهِ الْحَقُّ وَ مَوْعِظَةٌ وَّ ذِكْرٰى لِلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ(۱۲۰)

The histories of apostles that We relate to you are (meant) to strengthen your heart. Through them has the truth come to you, and guidance, and reminder to those who believe.

All that we relate to thee of the stories of the messengers,- with it We make firm thy heart: in them there cometh to thee the Truth, as well as an exhortation and a message of remembrance to those who believe.
