20. 19

    وَجَعَلُوا۟ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عِبَٰدُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ إِنَٰثًا ۚ أَشَهِدُوا۟ خَلْقَهُمْ ۚ سَتُكْتَبُ شَهَٰدَتُهُمْ وَيُسْـَٔلُونَ

    Wa ja'alu al‑mala'ikata alladhina hum 'ibadu ar‑Rahmani inathan ashahidu khalqahum satuktabu shahadatuhum wa yus'alun

    And they make the angels, who are the slaves of the Beneficent, females. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be recorded and they will be questioned.

21. 20

    وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْ شَآءَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ مَا عَبَدْنَٰهُم ۗ مَّا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ

    Wa qalu law sha'a ar‑Rahmanu ma 'abadnahum ma lahum bidhalika min 'ilmin in hum illa yakhrusun

    And they say: If the Beneficent One had (so) willed, we should not have worshipped them. They have no knowledge whatsoever of that. They do but guess.

22. 21

    أَمْ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُمْ كِتَٰبًا مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ فَهُم بِهِۦ مُسْتَمْسِكُونَ

    Am ataynahum kitaban min qablihi fahum bihi mustamsikun

    Or have We given them any scripture before (this Qur'an) so that they are holding fast thereto?

23. 22

    بَلْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم مُّهْتَدُونَ

    Bal qalu inna wajadna aba'ana 'ala ummatin wa inna 'ala atharihim muhtadun

    Nay, for they say only: Lo! we found our fathers following a religion, and we are guided by their footprints.

24. 23

    وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِى قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوهَآ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم مُّقْتَدُونَ

    Wa kadhalika ma arsalna min qablika fi qaryatin min nadhirin illa qala mutrafuha inna wajadna aba'ana 'ala ummatin wa inna 'ala atharihim muqtadun

    And even so We sent not a warner before thee (Muhammad) into any township but its luxurious ones said: Lo! we found our fathers following a religion, and we are following their footprints.

25. 24

    ۞ قَٰلَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكُم بِأَهْدَىٰ مِمَّا وَجَدتُّمْ عَلَيْهِ ءَابَآءَكُمْ ۖ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا بِمَآ أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ

    Qala awalaw ji'tukum bi'ahda mimma wajadtum 'alayhi aba'akum qalu inna bima ursiltum bihi kafirun

    (And the warner) said: What! Even though I bring you better guidance than that ye found your fathers following? They answered: Lo! in what ye bring we are disbelievers.

26. 25

    فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ ۖ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

    Fantaqamna minhum fanzur kayfa kana 'aqibatu al‑mukadhdhibin

    So We requited them. Then see the nature of the consequence for the rejecters!

27. 26

    وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَٰهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنَّنِى بَرَآءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ

    Wa idh qala Ibrahimu li'abihi wa qawmihi innani bara'un mimma ta'budun

    And when Abraham said unto his father and his folk: Lo! I am innocent of what ye worship

28. 27

    إِلَّا ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنِى فَإِنَّهُۥ سَيَهْدِينِ

    Illa alladhi fatarani fa'innahu sayahdin

    Save Him Who did create me, for He will surely guide me.

29. 28

    وَجَعَلَهَا كَلِمَةًۢ بَاقِيَةً فِى عَقِبِهِۦ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

    Wa ja' alaha kalimatan baqiyatan fi 'aqibihi la'allahum yarji'un

    And he made it a word enduring among his seed, that haply they might return.

30. 29

    بَلْ مَتَّعْتُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ وَرَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ

    Bal matta'tu ha'ula'i wa aba'ahum hatta ja'ahumu al‑haqqu wa rasulun mubin

    Nay, but I let these and their fathers enjoy life (only) till there should come unto them the Truth and a messenger making plain.

31. 30

    وَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ قَالُوا۟ هَٰذَا سِحْرٌ وَإِنَّا بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ

    Wa lamma ja'ahumu al‑haqqu qalu hadha sihrun wa inna bihi kafirun

    And now that the Truth hath come unto them they say: This is mere magic, and lo! we are disbelievers therein.

32. 31

    وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانُ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِّنَ ٱلْقَرْيَتَيْنِ عَظِيمٍ

    Wa qalu lawla nuzzila hadha al‑qur'anu 'ala rajulin mina al‑qaryatayni 'azim

    And they say: If only this Qur'an had been revealed to some great man of the two towns?

33. 32

    أَهُمْ يَقْسِمُونَ رَحْمَتَ رَبِّكَ ۚ نَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّعِيشَتَهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۚ وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَٰتٍ لِّيَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُهُم بَعْضًا سُخْرِيًّا ۗ وَرَحْمَتُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ

    Ahum yaqsimuna rahmata Rabbika nahnu qasamna baynahum ma'ishatahum fi al‑hayati ad‑dunya wa rafa'na ba'dahum fawqa ba'din darajatin liyattakhidha ba'duhum ba'dan sukhriyyan wa rahmatu Rabbika khayrun mimma yajma'un

    Is it they who apportion thy Lord's mercy? We have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of the world, and raised some of them above others in rank that some of them may take labour from others; and the mercy of thy Lord is better than (the wealth) that they amass.

34. 33

    وَلَوْلَآ أَن يَكُونَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً لَّجَعَلْنَا لِمَن يَكْفُرُ بِٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ لِبُيُوتِهِمْ سُقُفًا مِّن فِضَّةٍ وَمَعَارِجَ عَلَيْهَا يَظْهَرُونَ

    Wa lawla an yakuna an‑nasu ummatan wahidatan laja'alna liman yakfuru bi‑ar‑Rahmani libuyutihim suqufan min fiddatin wa ma'arija 'alayha yazharun

    And were it not that mankind would have become one community, We might well have appointed, for those who disbelieve in the Beneficent, roofs of silver for their houses and stairs (of silver) whereby to mount,

35. 34

    وَلِبُيُوتِهِمْ أَبْوَٰبًا وَسُرُرًا عَلَيْهَا يَتَّكِـُٔونَ

    Wa libuyutihim abwaban wa sururan 'alayha yattaki'un

    And for their houses doors (of silver) and couches of silver whereon to recline,

36. 35

    وَزُخْرُفًا ۚ وَإِن كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَٰعُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۚ وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

    Wa zukhrufan wa in kullu dhalika lamma mata'u al‑hayati ad‑dunya wa al‑akhiratu 'inda Rabbika lil‑muttaqin

    And ornaments of gold. Yet all that would have been but a provision of the life of the world. And the Hereafter with your Lord would have been for those who keep from evil.

37. 36

    وَمَن يَعْشُ عَن ذِكْرِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ نُقَيِّضْ لَهُۥ شَيْطَٰنًا فَهُوَ لَهُۥ قَرِينٌ

    Wa man ya'shu 'an dhikri ar‑Rahmani nuqayyid lahu shaytanan fahuwa lahu qarin

    And he whose sight is dim to the remembrance of the Beneficent, We assign unto him a devil who becometh his comrade;

38. 37

    وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيَصُدُّونَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ

    Wa innahum layasuddunahum 'ani as‑sabili wa yahsabuna annahum muhtadun

    And lo! they surely turn them from the way of Allah, and yet they deem that they are rightly guided;

39. 38

    حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَنَا قَالَ يَٰلَيْتَ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكَ بُعْدَ ٱلْمَشْرِقَيْنِ فَبِئْسَ ٱلْقَرِينُ

    Hatta idha ja'ana qala ya layta bayni wa baynaka bu'da al‑mashriqayni fabi'sa al‑qarin

    Till, when he cometh unto Us, he saith (unto his comrade): Ah, would that between me and thee there were the distance of the two horizons - an evil comrade!

40. 39

    وَلَن يَنفَعَكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ إِذ ظَّلَمْتُمْ أَنَّكُمْ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ

    Wa lan yanfa'akumu al‑yawma idh zalamtum annakum fi al-'adhabi mushtarikun

    And it profiteth you not this day, because ye did wrong, that ye will be sharers in the doom.

41. 40

    أَفَأَنتَ تُسْمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ أَوْ تَهْدِى ٱلْعُمْىَ وَمَن كَانَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ

    Afa'anta tusmi'u as‑summa aw tahdi al-'umya wa man kana fi dalalin mubin

    Canst thou (Muhammad) make the deaf to hear, or canst thou guide the blind or him who is in error manifest?

42. 41

    فَإِمَّا نَذْهَبَنَّ بِكَ فَإِنَّا مِنْهُم مُّنتَقِمُونَ

    Fa'imma nadhhabanna bika fa'inna minhum muntaqimun

    And if We take thee away, We surely shall take vengeance on them,

43. 42

    أَوْ نُرِيَنَّكَ ٱلَّذِى وَعَدْنَٰهُمْ فَإِنَّا عَلَيْهِم مُّقْتَدِرُونَ

    Aw nuriyannaka alladhi wa'adnahum fa'inna 'alayhim muqtadirun

    Or (if) We show thee that wherewith We threaten them; for lo! We have complete command of them.

44. 43

    فَٱسْتَمْسِكْ بِٱلَّذِىٓ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

    Fastamsik bi‑alladhi uhiya ilayka innaka 'ala siratin mustaqim

    So hold thou fast to that which is inspired in thee. Lo! thou art on a right path.

45. 44

    وَإِنَّهُۥ لَذِكْرٌ لَّكَ وَلِقَوْمِكَ ۖ وَسَوْفَ تُسْـَٔلُونَ

    Wa innahu ladhikrun laka wa liqawmika wa sawfa tus'alun

    And lo! it is in truth a Reminder for thee and for thy folk; and ye will be questioned.

46. 45

    وَسْـَٔلْ مَنْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رُّسُلِنَآ أَجَعَلْنَا مِن دُونِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ءَالِهَةً يُعْبَدُونَ

    Was'al man arsalna min qablika min rusulina aja'alna min duni ar‑Rahmani alihatan yu'badun

    And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before thee: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped beside the Beneficent?

47. 46

    وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ فَقَالَ إِنِّى رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

    Wa laqad arsalna Musa bi‑ayatina ila fir'awna wa mala'ihi faqala inni rasulu Rabbi al-'alamin

    And verily We sent Moses with Our revelations unto Pharaoh and his chiefs, and he said: I am a messenger of the Lord of the Worlds.

48. 47

    فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَضْحَكُونَ

    Falamma ja'ahum bi‑ayatina idha hum minha yadhakun

    But when he brought them Our tokens, behold! they laughed at them.

49. 48

    وَمَا نُرِيهِم مِّنْ ءَايَةٍ إِلَّا هِىَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ أُخْتِهَا ۖ وَأَخَذْنَٰهُم بِٱلْعَذَابِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

    Wa ma nurihim min ayatin illa hiya akbaru min ukhtiha wa akhadhnahum bi‑al-'adhabi la'allahum yarji'un

    And every token that We showed them was greater than its sister (token), and We grasped them with the torment, that haply they might turn again.

50. 49

    وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَيُّهَ ٱلسَّاحِرُ ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ إِنَّنَا لَمُهْتَدُونَ

    Wa qalu ya ayyuha as‑sahiru ud'u lana Rabbaka bima 'ahida 'indaka innana lamuhtadun

    And they said: O wizard! Entreat thy Lord for us by the pact that He hath made with thee. Lo! we verily will walk aright.

51. 50

    فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ إِذَا هُمْ يَنكُثُونَ

    Falamma kashafna 'anhumu al-'adhaba idha hum yankuthun

    But when We eased them of the torment, behold! they broke their word.

52. 51

    وَنَادَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى قَوْمِهِۦ قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ أَلَيْسَ لِى مُلْكُ مِصْرَ وَهَٰذِهِ ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِىٓ ۖ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ

    Wa nada fir'awnu fi qawmihi qala ya qawmi alaysa li mulku misra wa hadhihi al‑anharu tajri min tahti afala tubsirun

    And Pharaoh caused a proclamation to be made among his people saying: O my people! Is not mine the sovereignty of Egypt and these rivers flowing under me? Can ye not then discern?

53. 52

    أَمْ أَنَا۠ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى هُوَ مَهِينٌ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُبِينُ

    Am ana khayrun min hadha alladhi huwa mahinun wa la yakadu yubin

    I am surely better than this fellow, who is despicable and can hardly make (his meaning) plain!

54. 53

    فَلَوْلَآ أُلْقِىَ عَلَيْهِ أَسْوِرَةٌ مِّن ذَهَبٍ أَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ مُقْتَرِنِينَ

    Falawla ulqiya 'alayhi aswiratun min dhahabin aw ja'a ma'ahu al‑mala'ikatu muqtarinin

    Why, then, have armlets of gold not been set upon him, or angels sent along with him?

55. 54

    فَٱسْتَخَفَّ قَوْمَهُۥ فَأَطَاعُوهُ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَٰسِقِينَ

    Fastakhaffa qawmahu fa ata'uhu innahum kanu qawman fasiqin

    Thus he persuaded his people to make light (of Moses), and they obeyed him. Lo! they were a wanton folk.

56. 55

    فَلَمَّآ ءَاسَفُونَا ٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَأَغْرَقْنَٰهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

    Falamma asafuna intaqamna minhum fa aghraqnahum ajma'in

    So, when they angered Us, We punished them and drowned them every one.

57. 56

    فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمْ سَلَفًا وَمَثَلًا لِّلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

    Faja'alnahum salafan wa mathalan lil‑akhirin

    And We made them a thing past, and an example for those after (them).

58. 57

    ۞ وَلَمَّا ضُرِبَ ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ مَثَلًا إِذَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْهُ يَصِدُّونَ

    Wa lamma duriba ibnu Maryama mathalan idha qawmuka minhu yasiddun

    And when the son of Mary is quoted as an example, behold! the folk laugh out,

59. 58

    وَقَالُوٓا۟ ءَأَٰلِهَتُنَا خَيْرٌ أَمْ هُوَ ۚ مَا ضَرَبُوهُ لَكَ إِلَّا جَدَلًۢا ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ خَصِمُونَ

    Wa qalu a'alihatuna khayrun am huwa ma darabuhu laka illa jadalan bal hum qawmun khasimun

    And say: Are our gods better, or is he? They raise not the objection save for argument. Nay! but they are a contentious folk.
