ٱلْحَمْدُ All Praise لِلَّهِ (is) for Allah ٱلَّذِىٓ the One Who أَنزَلَ (has) revealed عَلَىٰ to عَبْدِهِ His slave ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book وَلَمْ and not يَجْعَل (has) made لَّهُۥ in it عِوَجَا any crookedness ۜ  

قَيِّمًا Straight لِّيُنذِرَ to warn بَأْسًا (of) a punishment شَدِيدًا severe مِّن from لَّدُنْهُ near Him وَيُبَشِّرَ and give glad tidings ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ (to) the believers ٱلَّذِينَ those who يَعْمَلُونَ do ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ righteous deeds أَنَّ that لَهُمْ for them أَجْرًا (is) a good reward حَسَنًا (is) a good reward

مَّـٰكِثِينَ (They will) abide فِيهِ in it أَبَدًا forever

وَيُنذِرَ And to warn ٱلَّذِينَ those who قَالُوا۟ say ٱتَّخَذَ Allah has taken ٱللَّهُ Allah has taken وَلَدًا a son

مَّا Not لَهُم they have بِهِۦ about it مِنْ any عِلْمٍ knowledge وَلَا and not لِـَٔابَآئِهِمْ their forefathers ۚ   كَبُرَتْ Grave (is) كَلِمَةً the word تَخْرُجُ (that) comes out مِنْ of أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ their mouths ۚ   إِن Not يَقُولُونَ they say إِلَّا except كَذِبًا a lie

فَلَعَلَّكَ Then perhaps you would (be) بَـٰخِعٌ the one who kills نَّفْسَكَ yourself عَلَىٰٓ over ءَاثَـٰرِهِمْ their footsteps إِن if لَّمْ not يُؤْمِنُوا۟ they believe بِهَـٰذَا in this ٱلْحَدِيثِ [the] narration أَسَفًا (in) grief

إِنَّا Indeed, We جَعَلْنَا We have made مَا what عَلَى (is) on ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth زِينَةً adornment لَّهَا for it لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ that We may test [them] أَيُّهُمْ which of them أَحْسَنُ (is) best عَمَلًا (in) deed

وَإِنَّا And indeed, We لَجَـٰعِلُونَ (will) surely make مَا what عَلَيْهَا (is) on it صَعِيدًا soil جُرُزًا barren

أَمْ Or حَسِبْتَ have you thought أَنَّ that أَصْحَـٰبَ (the) companions ٱلْكَهْفِ (of) the cave وَٱلرَّقِيمِ and the inscription كَانُوا۟ were مِنْ among ءَايَـٰتِنَا Our Signs عَجَبًا a wonder

إِذْ When أَوَى retreated ٱلْفِتْيَةُ the youths إِلَى to ٱلْكَهْفِ the cave فَقَالُوا۟ and they said رَبَّنَآ Our Lord ءَاتِنَا Grant us مِن from لَّدُنكَ Yourself رَحْمَةً Mercy وَهَيِّئْ and facilitate لَنَا for us مِنْ [from] أَمْرِنَا our affair رَشَدًا (in the) right way

فَضَرَبْنَا So We cast عَلَىٰٓ over ءَاذَانِهِمْ their ears فِى in ٱلْكَهْفِ the cave سِنِينَ years عَدَدًا a number

ثُمَّ Then بَعَثْنَـٰهُمْ We raised them up لِنَعْلَمَ that We make evident أَىُّ which ٱلْحِزْبَيْنِ (of) the two parties أَحْصَىٰ best calculated لِمَا for what لَبِثُوٓا۟ (they had) remained أَمَدًا (in) time

نَّحْنُ We نَقُصُّ narrate عَلَيْكَ to you نَبَأَهُم their story بِٱلْحَقِّ in truth ۚ   إِنَّهُمْ Indeed, they (were) فِتْيَةٌ youths ءَامَنُوا۟ who believed بِرَبِّهِمْ in their Lord وَزِدْنَـٰهُمْ and We increased them هُدًى (in) guidance

وَرَبَطْنَا And We made firm عَلَىٰ [on] قُلُوبِهِمْ their hearts إِذْ when قَامُوا۟ they stood up فَقَالُوا۟ and said رَبُّنَا Our Lord رَبُّ (is) the Lord ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ (of) the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ and the earth لَن Never نَّدْعُوَا۟ we will invoke مِن besides Him دُونِهِۦٓ besides Him إِلَـٰهًا any god ۖ   لَّقَدْ Certainly قُلْنَآ we would have said إِذًا then شَطَطًا an enormity

هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ These قَوْمُنَا our people ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ have taken مِن besides Him دُونِهِۦٓ besides Him ءَالِهَةً gods ۖ   لَّوْلَا Why not يَأْتُونَ they come عَلَيْهِم to them بِسُلْطَـٰنٍۭ with an authority بَيِّنٍ clear ۖ   فَمَنْ And who أَظْلَمُ (is) more wrong مِمَّنِ than (one) who ٱفْتَرَىٰ invents عَلَى against ٱللَّهِ Allah كَذِبًا a lie

وَإِذِ And when ٱعْتَزَلْتُمُوهُمْ you withdraw from them وَمَا and what يَعْبُدُونَ they worship إِلَّا except ٱللَّهَ Allah فَأْوُۥٓا۟ then retreat إِلَى to ٱلْكَهْفِ the cave يَنشُرْ Will spread لَكُمْ for you رَبُّكُم your Lord مِّن of رَّحْمَتِهِۦ His Mercy وَيُهَيِّئْ and will facilitate لَكُم for you مِّنْ [from] أَمْرِكُم your affair مِّرْفَقًا (in) ease

وَتَرَى And you (might) have seen ٱلشَّمْسَ the sun إِذَا when طَلَعَت it rose تَّزَٰوَرُ inclining away عَن from كَهْفِهِمْ their cave ذَاتَ to ٱلْيَمِينِ the right وَإِذَا and when غَرَبَت it set تَّقْرِضُهُمْ passing away from them ذَاتَ to ٱلشِّمَالِ the left وَهُمْ while they فِى (lay) in فَجْوَةٍ the open space مِّنْهُ thereof ۚ   ذَٰلِكَ That مِنْ (was) from ءَايَـٰتِ (the) Signs ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah ۗ   مَن Whoever يَهْدِ Allah guides ٱللَّهُ Allah guides فَهُوَ and he ٱلْمُهْتَدِ (is) the guided one ۖ   وَمَن and whoever يُضْلِلْ He lets go astray فَلَن then never تَجِدَ you will find لَهُۥ for him وَلِيًّا a protector مُّرْشِدًا a guide

وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ And you (would) think them أَيْقَاظًا awake وَهُمْ while they رُقُودٌ (were) asleep ۚ   وَنُقَلِّبُهُمْ And We turned them ذَاتَ to ٱلْيَمِينِ the right وَذَاتَ and to ٱلشِّمَالِ the left ۖ   وَكَلْبُهُم while their dog بَـٰسِطٌ stretched ذِرَاعَيْهِ his two forelegs بِٱلْوَصِيدِ at the entrance ۚ   لَوِ If ٱطَّلَعْتَ you had looked عَلَيْهِمْ at them لَوَلَّيْتَ you (would) have surely turned back مِنْهُمْ from them فِرَارًا (in) flight وَلَمُلِئْتَ and surely you would have been filled مِنْهُمْ by them رُعْبًا (with) terror

وَكَذَٰلِكَ And similarly بَعَثْنَـٰهُمْ We raised them لِيَتَسَآءَلُوا۟ that they might question بَيْنَهُمْ among them ۚ   قَالَ Said قَآئِلٌ a speaker مِّنْهُمْ among them كَمْ How long لَبِثْتُمْ have you remained ۖ   قَالُوا۟ They said لَبِثْنَا We have remained يَوْمًا a day أَوْ or بَعْضَ a part يَوْمٍ (of) a day ۚ   قَالُوا۟ They said رَبُّكُمْ Your Lord أَعْلَمُ knows best بِمَا how long لَبِثْتُمْ you have remained فَٱبْعَثُوٓا۟ So send أَحَدَكُم one of you بِوَرِقِكُمْ with this silver coin of yours هَـٰذِهِۦٓ with this silver coin of yours إِلَى to ٱلْمَدِينَةِ the city فَلْيَنظُرْ and let him see أَيُّهَآ which is أَزْكَىٰ the purest طَعَامًا food فَلْيَأْتِكُم and let him bring to you بِرِزْقٍ provision مِّنْهُ from it وَلْيَتَلَطَّفْ and let him be cautious وَلَا And let not be aware يُشْعِرَنَّ And let not be aware بِكُمْ about you أَحَدًا anyone

إِنَّهُمْ Indeed, [they] إِن if يَظْهَرُوا۟ they come to know عَلَيْكُمْ about you يَرْجُمُوكُمْ they will stone you أَوْ or يُعِيدُوكُمْ return you فِى to مِلَّتِهِمْ their religion وَلَن And never تُفْلِحُوٓا۟ will you succeed إِذًا then أَبَدًا ever

وَكَذَٰلِكَ And similarly أَعْثَرْنَا We made known عَلَيْهِمْ about them لِيَعْلَمُوٓا۟ that they might know أَنَّ that وَعْدَ (the) Promise ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah حَقٌّ (is) true وَأَنَّ and that ٱلسَّاعَةَ (about) the Hour لَا (there is) no رَيْبَ doubt فِيهَآ in it إِذْ When يَتَنَـٰزَعُونَ they disputed بَيْنَهُمْ among themselves أَمْرَهُمْ about their affair ۖ   فَقَالُوا۟ and they said ٱبْنُوا۟ Construct عَلَيْهِم over them بُنْيَـٰنًا a structure ۖ   رَّبُّهُمْ Their Lord أَعْلَمُ knows best بِهِمْ about them ۚ   قَالَ Said ٱلَّذِينَ those who غَلَبُوا۟ prevailed عَلَىٰٓ in أَمْرِهِمْ their matter لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ Surely we will take عَلَيْهِم over them مَّسْجِدًا a place of worship

سَيَقُولُونَ They say ثَلَـٰثَةٌ (they were) three رَّابِعُهُمْ the forth of them كَلْبُهُمْ their dog وَيَقُولُونَ and they say خَمْسَةٌ (they were) five سَادِسُهُمْ the sixth of them كَلْبُهُمْ their dog رَجْمًۢا guessing بِٱلْغَيْبِ about the unseen ۖ   وَيَقُولُونَ and they say سَبْعَةٌ (they were) seven وَثَامِنُهُمْ and the eight of them كَلْبُهُمْ their dog ۚ   قُل Say رَّبِّىٓ My Lord أَعْلَمُ knows best بِعِدَّتِهِم their number مَّا None يَعْلَمُهُمْ knows them إِلَّا except قَلِيلٌ a few ۗ   فَلَا So (do) not تُمَارِ argue فِيهِمْ about them إِلَّا except مِرَآءً (with) an argument ظَـٰهِرًا obvious وَلَا and (do) not تَسْتَفْتِ inquire فِيهِم about them مِّنْهُمْ among them أَحَدًا (from) anyone

وَلَا And (do) not تَقُولَنَّ say لِشَا۟ىْءٍ of anything إِنِّى Indeed, I فَاعِلٌ will do ذَٰلِكَ that غَدًا tomorrow

إِلَّآ Except أَن If يَشَآءَ Allah wills ٱللَّهُ Allah wills ۚ   وَٱذْكُر And remember رَّبَّكَ your Lord إِذَا when نَسِيتَ you forget وَقُلْ and say عَسَىٰٓ Perhaps أَن [that] يَهْدِيَنِ will guide me رَبِّى my Lord لِأَقْرَبَ to a nearer (way) مِنْ than هَـٰذَا this رَشَدًا right way

وَلَبِثُوا۟ And they remained فِى in كَهْفِهِمْ their cave ثَلَـٰثَ (for) three مِا۟ئَةٍ hundred سِنِينَ years وَٱزْدَادُوا۟ and add تِسْعًا nine

قُلِ Say ٱللَّهُ Allah أَعْلَمُ knows best بِمَا about what (period) لَبِثُوا۟ they remained ۖ   لَهُۥ For Him غَيْبُ (is the) unseen ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ (of) the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ and the earth ۖ   أَبْصِرْ How clearly He sees بِهِۦ [of it] وَأَسْمِعْ And how clearly He hears ۚ   مَا Not لَهُم for them مِّن besides Him دُونِهِۦ besides Him مِن any وَلِىٍّ protector وَلَا and not يُشْرِكُ He shares فِى [in] حُكْمِهِۦٓ His Commands أَحَدًا (with) anyone

وَٱتْلُ And recite مَآ what أُوحِىَ has been revealed إِلَيْكَ to you مِن of كِتَابِ the Book رَبِّكَ (of) your Lord ۖ   لَا None مُبَدِّلَ can change لِكَلِمَـٰتِهِۦ His Words وَلَن and never تَجِدَ you will find مِن besides Him دُونِهِۦ besides Him مُلْتَحَدًا a refuge

وَٱصْبِرْ And be patient نَفْسَكَ yourself مَعَ with ٱلَّذِينَ those who يَدْعُونَ call رَبَّهُم their Lord بِٱلْغَدَوٰةِ in the morning وَٱلْعَشِىِّ and the evening يُرِيدُونَ desiring وَجْهَهُۥ His Face ۖ   وَلَا And (let) not تَعْدُ pass beyond عَيْنَاكَ your eyes عَنْهُمْ over them تُرِيدُ desiring زِينَةَ adornment ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ (of) the life ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world ۖ   وَلَا and (do) not تُطِعْ obey مَنْ whom أَغْفَلْنَا We have made heedless قَلْبَهُۥ his heart عَن of ذِكْرِنَا Our remembrance وَٱتَّبَعَ and follows هَوَىٰهُ his desires وَكَانَ and is أَمْرُهُۥ his affair فُرُطًا (in) excess

وَقُلِ And say ٱلْحَقُّ The truth مِن (is) from رَّبِّكُمْ your Lord ۖ   فَمَن so whoever شَآءَ wills فَلْيُؤْمِن let him believe وَمَن and whoever شَآءَ wills فَلْيَكْفُرْ let him disbelieve ۚ   إِنَّآ Indeed, We أَعْتَدْنَا have prepared لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ for the wrongdoers نَارًا a Fire أَحَاطَ will surround بِهِمْ them سُرَادِقُهَا its walls ۚ   وَإِن And if يَسْتَغِيثُوا۟ they call for relief يُغَاثُوا۟ they will be relieved بِمَآءٍ with water كَٱلْمُهْلِ like molten brass يَشْوِى (which) scalds ٱلْوُجُوهَ the faces ۚ   بِئْسَ Wretched ٱلشَّرَابُ (is) the drink وَسَآءَتْ and evil مُرْتَفَقًا (is) the resting place

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believed وَعَمِلُوا۟ and did ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ the good deeds إِنَّا indeed, We لَا will not let go waste نُضِيعُ will not let go waste أَجْرَ (the) reward مَنْ (of one) who أَحْسَنَ does good عَمَلًا deeds

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those لَهُمْ for them جَنَّـٰتُ (are) Gardens عَدْنٍ of Eden تَجْرِى flows مِن from تَحْتِهِمُ underneath them ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ the rivers يُحَلَّوْنَ They will be adorned فِيهَا therein مِنْ [of] (with) أَسَاوِرَ bracelets مِن of ذَهَبٍ gold وَيَلْبَسُونَ and will wear ثِيَابًا garments خُضْرًا green مِّن of سُندُسٍ fine silk وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ and heavy brocade مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ reclining فِيهَا therein عَلَى on ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ adorned couches ۚ   نِعْمَ Excellent ٱلثَّوَابُ (is) the reward وَحَسُنَتْ and good مُرْتَفَقًا (is) the resting place

وَٱضْرِبْ And set forth لَهُم to them مَّثَلًا the example رَّجُلَيْنِ of two men: جَعَلْنَا We provided لِأَحَدِهِمَا for one of them جَنَّتَيْنِ two gardens مِنْ of أَعْنَـٰبٍ grapes وَحَفَفْنَـٰهُمَا and We bordered them بِنَخْلٍ with date-palms وَجَعَلْنَا and We placed بَيْنَهُمَا between both of them زَرْعًا crops

كِلْتَا Each ٱلْجَنَّتَيْنِ (of) the two gardens ءَاتَتْ brought forth أُكُلَهَا its produce وَلَمْ and not تَظْلِم did wrong مِّنْهُ of it شَيْـًٔا anything ۚ   وَفَجَّرْنَا And We caused to gush forth خِلَـٰلَهُمَا within them نَهَرًا a river

وَكَانَ And was لَهُۥ for him ثَمَرٌ fruit فَقَالَ so he said لِصَـٰحِبِهِۦ to his companion وَهُوَ while he يُحَاوِرُهُۥٓ (was) talking with him أَنَا۠ I am أَكْثَرُ greater مِنكَ than you مَالًا (in) wealth وَأَعَزُّ and stronger نَفَرًا (in) men

وَدَخَلَ And he entered جَنَّتَهُۥ his garden وَهُوَ while he ظَالِمٌ (was) unjust لِّنَفْسِهِۦ to himself قَالَ He said مَآ Not أَظُنُّ I think أَن that تَبِيدَ will perish هَـٰذِهِۦٓ this أَبَدًا ever

وَمَآ And not أَظُنُّ I think ٱلسَّاعَةَ the Hour قَآئِمَةً will occur وَلَئِن And if رُّدِدتُّ I am brought back إِلَىٰ to رَبِّى my Lord لَأَجِدَنَّ I will surely find خَيْرًا better مِّنْهَا than this مُنقَلَبًا (as) a return

قَالَ Said لَهُۥ to him صَاحِبُهُۥ his companion وَهُوَ while he يُحَاوِرُهُۥٓ was talking to him أَكَفَرْتَ Do you disbelieve بِٱلَّذِى in One Who خَلَقَكَ created you مِن from تُرَابٍ dust ثُمَّ then مِن from نُّطْفَةٍ a minute quantity of semen ثُمَّ then سَوَّىٰكَ fashioned you رَجُلًا (into) a man

لَّـٰكِنَّا۠ But as for me هُوَ He ٱللَّهُ (is) Allah رَبِّى my Lord وَلَآ and not أُشْرِكُ I associate بِرَبِّىٓ with my Lord أَحَدًا anyone

وَلَوْلَآ And why (did you) not إِذْ when دَخَلْتَ you entered جَنَّتَكَ your garden قُلْتَ say مَا What شَآءَ wills ٱللَّهُ Allah لَا (there is) no قُوَّةَ power إِلَّا except بِٱللَّهِ with Allah ۚ   إِن If تَرَنِ you see me أَنَا۠ (me) أَقَلَّ lesser مِنكَ than you مَالًا (in) wealth وَوَلَدًا and children

فَعَسَىٰ It may be رَبِّىٓ that my Lord أَن that my Lord يُؤْتِيَنِ will give me خَيْرًا better مِّن than جَنَّتِكَ your garden وَيُرْسِلَ and will send عَلَيْهَا upon it حُسْبَانًا a calamity مِّنَ from ٱلسَّمَآءِ the sky فَتُصْبِحَ then it will become صَعِيدًا ground زَلَقًا slippery

أَوْ Or يُصْبِحَ will become مَآؤُهَا its water غَوْرًا sunken فَلَن so never تَسْتَطِيعَ you will be able لَهُۥ to find it طَلَبًا to find it

وَأُحِيطَ And were surrounded بِثَمَرِهِۦ his fruits فَأَصْبَحَ so he began يُقَلِّبُ twisting كَفَّيْهِ his hands عَلَىٰ over مَآ what أَنفَقَ he (had) spent فِيهَا on it وَهِىَ while it (had) خَاوِيَةٌ collapsed عَلَىٰ on عُرُوشِهَا its trellises وَيَقُولُ and he said يَـٰلَيْتَنِى Oh! I wish لَمْ I had not associated أُشْرِكْ I had not associated بِرَبِّىٓ with my Lord أَحَدًا anyone

وَلَمْ And not تَكُن was لَّهُۥ for him فِئَةٌ a group يَنصُرُونَهُۥ (to) help him مِن other than دُونِ other than ٱللَّهِ Allah وَمَا and not كَانَ was مُنتَصِرًا (he) supported

هُنَالِكَ There ٱلْوَلَـٰيَةُ the protection لِلَّهِ (is) from Allah ٱلْحَقِّ the True ۚ   هُوَ He خَيْرٌ (is the) best ثَوَابًا (to) reward وَخَيْرٌ and (the) best عُقْبًا (for) the final end

وَٱضْرِبْ And present لَهُم to them مَّثَلَ the example ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ (of) the life ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world كَمَآءٍ like water أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ which We send down مِنَ from ٱلسَّمَآءِ the sky فَٱخْتَلَطَ then mingles بِهِۦ with it نَبَاتُ (the) vegetation ٱلْأَرْضِ (of) the earth فَأَصْبَحَ then becomes هَشِيمًا dry stalks تَذْرُوهُ it (is) scattered ٱلرِّيَـٰحُ (by) the winds ۗ   وَكَانَ And Allah ٱللَّهُ And Allah عَلَىٰ over كُلِّ every شَىْءٍ thing مُّقْتَدِرًا (is) All Able

ٱلْمَالُ The wealth وَٱلْبَنُونَ and children زِينَةُ (are) adornment ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ (of) the life ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world ۖ   وَٱلْبَـٰقِيَـٰتُ But the enduring ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتُ good deeds خَيْرٌ (are) better عِندَ near رَبِّكَ your Lord ثَوَابًا (for) reward وَخَيْرٌ and better أَمَلًا (for) hope

وَيَوْمَ And the Day نُسَيِّرُ We will cause (to) move ٱلْجِبَالَ the mountains وَتَرَى and you will see ٱلْأَرْضَ the earth بَارِزَةً (as) a leveled plain وَحَشَرْنَـٰهُمْ and We will gather them فَلَمْ and not نُغَادِرْ We will leave behind مِنْهُمْ from them أَحَدًا anyone

وَعُرِضُوا۟ And they will be presented عَلَىٰ before رَبِّكَ your Lord صَفًّا (in) rows لَّقَدْ Certainly جِئْتُمُونَا you have come to Us كَمَا as خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ We created you أَوَّلَ the first مَرَّةٍۭ time ۚ   بَلْ Nay زَعَمْتُمْ you claimed أَلَّن that not نَّجْعَلَ We made لَكُم for you مَّوْعِدًا an appointment

وَوُضِعَ And (will) be placed ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ the Book فَتَرَى and you will see ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ the criminals مُشْفِقِينَ fearful مِمَّا of what فِيهِ (is) in it وَيَقُولُونَ and they will say يَـٰوَيْلَتَنَا Oh, woe to us مَالِ What (is) for هَـٰذَا this ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ [the] Book لَا not يُغَادِرُ leaves صَغِيرَةً a small وَلَا and not كَبِيرَةً a great إِلَّآ except أَحْصَىٰهَا has enumerated it ۚ   وَوَجَدُوا۟ And they will find مَا what عَمِلُوا۟ they did حَاضِرًا presented ۗ   وَلَا And not يَظْلِمُ deals unjustly رَبُّكَ your Lord أَحَدًا (with) anyone

وَإِذْ And when قُلْنَا We said لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ to the Angels ٱسْجُدُوا۟ Prostrate لِـَٔادَمَ to Adam فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ so they prostrated إِلَّآ except إِبْلِيسَ Iblis كَانَ (He) was مِنَ of ٱلْجِنِّ the jinn فَفَسَقَ and he rebelled عَنْ against أَمْرِ the Command رَبِّهِۦٓ (of) his Lord ۗ   أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُۥ Will you then take him وَذُرِّيَّتَهُۥٓ and his offspring أَوْلِيَآءَ (as) protectors مِن other than Me دُونِى other than Me وَهُمْ while they لَكُمْ (are) to you عَدُوٌّۢ enemies ۚ   بِئْسَ Wretched لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ for the wrongdoers بَدَلًا (is) the exchange

مَّآ Not أَشْهَدتُّهُمْ I made them witness خَلْقَ the creation ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ (of) the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ and the earth وَلَا and not خَلْقَ the creation أَنفُسِهِمْ (of) themselves وَمَا and not كُنتُ I Am مُتَّخِذَ the One to take ٱلْمُضِلِّينَ the misleaders عَضُدًا (as) helper(s)

وَيَوْمَ And the Day يَقُولُ He will say نَادُوا۟ Call شُرَكَآءِىَ My partners ٱلَّذِينَ those who زَعَمْتُمْ you claimed فَدَعَوْهُمْ then they will call them فَلَمْ but not يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ they will respond لَهُمْ to them وَجَعَلْنَا And We will make بَيْنَهُم between them مَّوْبِقًا a barrier

وَرَءَا And will see ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ the criminals ٱلنَّارَ the Fire فَظَنُّوٓا۟ and they (will be) certain أَنَّهُم that they مُّوَاقِعُوهَا are to fall in it وَلَمْ And not يَجِدُوا۟ they will find عَنْهَا from it مَصْرِفًا a way of escape

وَلَقَدْ And certainly صَرَّفْنَا We have explained فِى in هَـٰذَا this ٱلْقُرْءَانِ the Quran لِلنَّاسِ for mankind مِن of كُلِّ every مَثَلٍ example ۚ   وَكَانَ But is ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ the man أَكْثَرَ (in) most شَىْءٍ things جَدَلًا quarrelsome

وَمَا And nothing مَنَعَ prevents ٱلنَّاسَ men أَن that يُؤْمِنُوٓا۟ they believe إِذْ when جَآءَهُمُ has come to them ٱلْهُدَىٰ the guidance وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ and they ask forgiveness رَبَّهُمْ (of) their Lord إِلَّآ except أَن that تَأْتِيَهُمْ comes to them سُنَّةُ (the) way ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ (of) the former (people) أَوْ or يَأْتِيَهُمُ comes to them ٱلْعَذَابُ the punishment قُبُلًا before (them)

وَمَا And not نُرْسِلُ We send ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ the Messengers إِلَّا except مُبَشِّرِينَ (as) bearers of glad tidings وَمُنذِرِينَ and (as) warners ۚ   وَيُجَـٰدِلُ And dispute ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ with falsehood لِيُدْحِضُوا۟ to refute بِهِ thereby ٱلْحَقَّ the truth ۖ   وَٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ And they take ءَايَـٰتِى My Verses وَمَآ and what أُنذِرُوا۟ they are warned هُزُوًا (in) ridicule

وَمَنْ And who أَظْلَمُ (is) more wrong مِمَّن than (he) who ذُكِّرَ is reminded بِـَٔايَـٰتِ of the Verses رَبِّهِۦ (of) his Lord فَأَعْرَضَ but turns away عَنْهَا from them وَنَسِىَ and forgets مَا what قَدَّمَتْ have sent forth يَدَاهُ his hands ۚ   إِنَّا Indeed, We جَعَلْنَا [We] have placed عَلَىٰ over قُلُوبِهِمْ their hearts أَكِنَّةً coverings أَن lest يَفْقَهُوهُ they understand it وَفِىٓ and in ءَاذَانِهِمْ their ears وَقْرًا (is) deafness ۖ   وَإِن And if تَدْعُهُمْ you call them إِلَى to ٱلْهُدَىٰ the guidance فَلَن then never يَهْتَدُوٓا۟ they will be guided إِذًا then أَبَدًا ever

وَرَبُّكَ And your Lord ٱلْغَفُورُ (is) the Most Forgiving ذُو Owner ٱلرَّحْمَةِ (of) the Mercy ۖ   لَوْ If يُؤَاخِذُهُم He were to seize them بِمَا for what كَسَبُوا۟ they have earned لَعَجَّلَ surely, He (would) have hastened لَهُمُ for them ٱلْعَذَابَ the punishment ۚ   بَل But لَّهُم for them مَّوْعِدٌ (is) an appointment لَّن never يَجِدُوا۟ they will find مِن other than it دُونِهِۦ other than it مَوْئِلًا an escape

وَتِلْكَ And these ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ [the] towns أَهْلَكْنَـٰهُمْ We destroyed them لَمَّا when ظَلَمُوا۟ they wronged وَجَعَلْنَا and We made لِمَهْلِكِهِم for their destruction مَّوْعِدًا an appointed time

وَإِذْ And when قَالَ said مُوسَىٰ Musa لِفَتَىٰهُ to his boy لَآ Not أَبْرَحُ I will cease حَتَّىٰٓ until أَبْلُغَ I reach مَجْمَعَ the junction ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ (of) the two seas أَوْ or أَمْضِىَ I continue حُقُبًا (for) a long period

فَلَمَّا But when بَلَغَا they reached مَجْمَعَ the junction بَيْنِهِمَا between them نَسِيَا they forgot حُوتَهُمَا their fish فَٱتَّخَذَ and it took سَبِيلَهُۥ its way فِى into ٱلْبَحْرِ the sea سَرَبًا slipping away

فَلَمَّا Then when جَاوَزَا they had passed beyond قَالَ he said لِفَتَىٰهُ to his boy ءَاتِنَا Bring us غَدَآءَنَا our morning meal لَقَدْ Certainly لَقِينَا we have suffered مِن in سَفَرِنَا our journey هَـٰذَا this نَصَبًا fatigue

قَالَ He said أَرَءَيْتَ Did you see إِذْ when أَوَيْنَآ we retired إِلَى to ٱلصَّخْرَةِ the rock فَإِنِّى Then indeed, I نَسِيتُ [I] forgot ٱلْحُوتَ the fish وَمَآ And not أَنسَىٰنِيهُ made me forget it إِلَّا except ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ the Shaitaan أَنْ that أَذْكُرَهُۥ I mention it ۚ   وَٱتَّخَذَ And it took سَبِيلَهُۥ its way فِى into ٱلْبَحْرِ the sea عَجَبًا amazingly

قَالَ He said ذَٰلِكَ That مَا (is) what كُنَّا we were نَبْغِ seeking ۚ   فَٱرْتَدَّا So they returned عَلَىٰٓ on ءَاثَارِهِمَا their footprints قَصَصًا retracing

فَوَجَدَا Then they found عَبْدًا a servant مِّنْ from عِبَادِنَآ Our servants ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ whom We had given رَحْمَةً mercy مِّنْ from عِندِنَا Us وَعَلَّمْنَـٰهُ and We had taught him مِن from لَّدُنَّا Us عِلْمًا a knowledge

قَالَ Said لَهُۥ to him مُوسَىٰ Musa هَلْ May أَتَّبِعُكَ I follow you عَلَىٰٓ on أَن that تُعَلِّمَنِ you teach me مِمَّا of what عُلِّمْتَ you have been taught رُشْدًا (of) right guidance

قَالَ He said إِنَّكَ Indeed, you لَن never تَسْتَطِيعَ will be able مَعِىَ with me صَبْرًا (to have) patience

وَكَيْفَ And how can تَصْبِرُ you have patience عَلَىٰ for مَا what لَمْ not تُحِطْ you encompass بِهِۦ of it خُبْرًا any knowledge

قَالَ He said سَتَجِدُنِىٓ You will find me إِن if شَآءَ Allah wills ٱللَّهُ Allah wills صَابِرًا patient وَلَآ and not أَعْصِى I will disobey لَكَ your أَمْرًا order

قَالَ He said فَإِنِ Then if ٱتَّبَعْتَنِى you follow me فَلَا (do) not تَسْـَٔلْنِى ask me عَن about شَىْءٍ anything حَتَّىٰٓ until أُحْدِثَ I present لَكَ to you مِنْهُ of it ذِكْرًا a mention

فَٱنطَلَقَا So they both set out حَتَّىٰٓ until إِذَا when رَكِبَا they had embarked فِى on ٱلسَّفِينَةِ the ship خَرَقَهَا he made a hole in it ۖ   قَالَ He said أَخَرَقْتَهَا Have you made a hole in it لِتُغْرِقَ to drown أَهْلَهَا its people لَقَدْ Certainly جِئْتَ you have done شَيْـًٔا a thing إِمْرًا grave

قَالَ He said أَلَمْ Did not أَقُلْ I say إِنَّكَ indeed, you لَن never تَسْتَطِيعَ will be able مَعِىَ with me صَبْرًا (to have) patience

قَالَ He said لَا (Do) not تُؤَاخِذْنِى blame me بِمَا for what نَسِيتُ I forgot وَلَا and (do) not تُرْهِقْنِى be hard (upon) me مِنْ in أَمْرِى my affair عُسْرًا (raising) difficulty

فَٱنطَلَقَا Then they both set out حَتَّىٰٓ until إِذَا when لَقِيَا they met غُلَـٰمًا a boy فَقَتَلَهُۥ then he killed him قَالَ He said أَقَتَلْتَ Have you killed نَفْسًا a soul زَكِيَّةًۢ pure بِغَيْرِ for other than نَفْسٍ a soul لَّقَدْ Certainly جِئْتَ you have done شَيْـًٔا a thing نُّكْرًا evil

قَالَ He said أَلَمْ Did not أَقُل I say لَّكَ to you إِنَّكَ that you لَن never تَسْتَطِيعَ will be able مَعِىَ with me صَبْرًا (to have) patience

قَالَ He said إِن If سَأَلْتُكَ I ask you عَن about شَىْءٍۭ anything بَعْدَهَا after it فَلَا then (do) not تُصَـٰحِبْنِى keep me as a companion ۖ   قَدْ Verily بَلَغْتَ you have reached مِن from me لَّدُنِّى from me عُذْرًا an excuse

فَٱنطَلَقَا So they set out حَتَّىٰٓ until إِذَآ when أَتَيَآ they came أَهْلَ (to the) people قَرْيَةٍ (of) a town ٱسْتَطْعَمَآ they asked for food أَهْلَهَا (from) its people فَأَبَوْا۟ but they refused أَن to يُضَيِّفُوهُمَا offer them hospitality فَوَجَدَا Then they found فِيهَا in it جِدَارًا a wall يُرِيدُ (that) want(ed) أَن to يَنقَضَّ collapse فَأَقَامَهُۥ so he set it straight ۖ   قَالَ He said لَوْ If شِئْتَ you wished لَتَّخَذْتَ surely you (could) have taken عَلَيْهِ for it أَجْرًا a payment

قَالَ He said هَـٰذَا This فِرَاقُ (is) parting بَيْنِى between me وَبَيْنِكَ and between you ۚ   سَأُنَبِّئُكَ I will inform you بِتَأْوِيلِ of (the) interpretation مَا (of) what لَمْ not تَسْتَطِع you were able عَّلَيْهِ on it صَبْرًا (to have) patience

أَمَّا As for ٱلسَّفِينَةُ the ship فَكَانَتْ it was لِمَسَـٰكِينَ of (the) poor people يَعْمَلُونَ working فِى in ٱلْبَحْرِ the sea فَأَرَدتُّ So I intended أَنْ that أَعِيبَهَا I cause defect (in) it وَكَانَ (as there) was وَرَآءَهُم after them مَّلِكٌ a king يَأْخُذُ who seized كُلَّ every سَفِينَةٍ ship غَصْبًا (by) force

وَأَمَّا And as for ٱلْغُلَـٰمُ the boy فَكَانَ his parents were أَبَوَاهُ his parents were مُؤْمِنَيْنِ believers فَخَشِينَآ and we feared أَن that يُرْهِقَهُمَا he would overburden them طُغْيَـٰنًا (by) transgression وَكُفْرًا and disbelief

فَأَرَدْنَآ So we intended أَن that يُبْدِلَهُمَا would change for them رَبُّهُمَا their Lord خَيْرًا a better مِّنْهُ than him زَكَوٰةً (in) purity وَأَقْرَبَ and nearer رُحْمًا (in) affection

وَأَمَّا And as for ٱلْجِدَارُ the wall فَكَانَ it was لِغُلَـٰمَيْنِ for two orphan boys يَتِيمَيْنِ for two orphan boys فِى in ٱلْمَدِينَةِ the town وَكَانَ and was تَحْتَهُۥ underneath it كَنزٌ a treasure لَّهُمَا for them وَكَانَ and was أَبُوهُمَا their father صَـٰلِحًا righteous فَأَرَادَ So intended رَبُّكَ your Lord أَن that يَبْلُغَآ they reach أَشُدَّهُمَا their maturity وَيَسْتَخْرِجَا and bring forth كَنزَهُمَا their treasure رَحْمَةً (as) a mercy مِّن from رَّبِّكَ your Lord ۚ   وَمَا And not فَعَلْتُهُۥ I did it عَنْ on أَمْرِى my (own) accord ۚ   ذَٰلِكَ That تَأْوِيلُ (is the) interpretation مَا (of) what لَمْ not تَسْطِع you were able عَّلَيْهِ on it صَبْرًا (to have) patience
