1. بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   Bismi Allahi ar‑Rahmani ar‑Rahim

   In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

2. 1

   ٱقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِى غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُونَ

   Iqtaraba lin‑nasi hisabuhum wa hum fi ghaflatin mu'ridun

   Their reckoning draweth nigh for mankind, while they turn away in heedlessness.

3. 2

   مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِم مُّحْدَثٍ إِلَّا ٱسْتَمَعُوهُ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ

   Ma ya'tihim min dhikrin min rabbihim muhdathin illa istama'uhu wa hum yal'abun

   Never cometh there unto them a new reminder from their Lord but they listen to it while they play,

4. 3

   لَاهِيَةً قُلُوبُهُمْ ۗ وَأَسَرُّوا۟ ٱلنَّجْوَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ هَلْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ ۖ أَفَتَأْتُونَ ٱلسِّحْرَ وَأَنتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ

   Lahiyatan qulubuhum wa asarru an‑najwa alladhina zalamu hal hadha illa basharun mithlukum afata'tuna as‑sihra wa antum tubsirun

   With hearts preoccupied. And they confer in secret. The wrong-doers say: Is this other than a mortal like you? Will ye then succumb to magic when ye see (it)?

5. 4

   قَالَ رَبِّى يَعْلَمُ ٱلْقَوْلَ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

   Qala Rabbi ya'lamu al‑qawla fi as‑sama'i wa al‑ardi wa huwa as‑sami'u al-'alim

   He saith: My Lord knoweth what is spoken in the heaven and the earth. He is the Hearer, the Knower.

6. 5

   بَلْ قَالُوٓا۟ أَضْغَٰثُ أَحْلَٰمٍۭ بَلِ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِرٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِـَٔايَةٍ كَمَآ أُرْسِلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ

   Bal qalu adghathu ahlamin bali iftarahu bal huwa sha'irun falya'tina bi'ayatin kama ursila al‑awwalun

   Nay, say they, (these are but) muddled dreams; nay, he hath but invented it; nay, he is but a poet. Let him bring us a portent even as those of old (who were Allah's messengers) were sent (with portents).

7. 6

   مَآ ءَامَنَتْ قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَٰهَآ ۖ أَفَهُمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ

   Ma amanat qablahum min qaryatin ahlaknaha afahum yu'minun

   Not a township believed of those which We destroyed before them (though We sent them portents): would they then believe?

8. 7

   وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِمْ ۖ فَسْـَٔلُوٓا۟ أَهْلَ ٱلذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

   Wa ma arsalna qablaka illa rijalan nuhi ilayhim fas'alu ahla adh‑dhikri in kuntum la ta'lamun

   And We sent not (as Our messengers) before thee other than men, whom We inspired. Ask the followers of the Reminder if ye know not?

9. 8

   وَمَا جَعَلْنَٰهُمْ جَسَدًا لَّا يَأْكُلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ خَٰلِدِينَ

   Wa ma ja'alnahum jasadan la ya'kuluna at‑ta'ama wa ma kanu khalidin

   We gave them not bodies that would not eat food, nor were they immortals.

10. 9

    ثُمَّ صَدَقْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْوَعْدَ فَأَنجَيْنَٰهُمْ وَمَن نَّشَآءُ وَأَهْلَكْنَا ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ

    Thumma sadaqnahumu al‑wa'da fa'anjaynahum wa man nasha'u wa ahlakna al‑musrifin

    Then we fulfilled the promise unto them. So we delivered them and whom We would, and We destroyed the prodigals.

11. 10

    لَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكُمْ كِتَٰبًا فِيهِ ذِكْرُكُمْ ۖ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

    Laqad anzalna ilaykum kitaban fihi dhikrukum afala ta'qilun

    Now We have revealed unto you a Scripture wherein is your Reminder. Have ye then no sense?

12. 11

    وَكَمْ قَصَمْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ كَانَتْ ظَالِمَةً وَأَنشَأْنَا بَعْدَهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ

    Wa kam qasamna min qaryatin kanat zalimatan wa ansha'na ba'daha qawman akharin

    How many a community that dealt unjustly have We shattered, and raised up after them another folk!

13. 12

    فَلَمَّآ أَحَسُّوا۟ بَأْسَنَآ إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَرْكُضُونَ

    Falamma ahassu ba'sana idha hum minha yarkudun

    And, when they felt Our might, behold them fleeing from it!

14. 13

    لَا تَرْكُضُوا۟ وَٱرْجِعُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ مَآ أُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيهِ وَمَسَٰكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْـَٔلُونَ

    La tarkudu wa irji'u ila ma utriftum fihi wa masakinikum la'allakum tus'alun

    (But it was said unto them): Flee not, but return to that (existence) which emasculated you and to your dwellings, that ye may be questioned.

15. 14

    قَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ

    Qalu ya waylana inna kunna zalimin

    They cried: Alas for us! we were wrong-doers.

16. 15

    فَمَا زَالَت تِّلْكَ دَعْوَىٰهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَعَلْنَٰهُمْ حَصِيدًا خَٰمِدِينَ

    Fama zalat tilka da'wahum hatta ja'alnahum hasidan khamidin

    And this their crying ceased not till We made them as reaped corn, extinct.

17. 16

    وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ

    Wa ma khalaqna as‑sama'a wa al‑arda wa ma baynahuma la'ibin

    We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them in play.

18. 17

    لَوْ أَرَدْنَآ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ لَهْوًا لَّٱتَّخَذْنَٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّآ إِن كُنَّا فَٰعِلِينَ

    Law aradna an nattakhidha lahwan lattakhadhnahu min ladunna in kunna fa'ilin

    If We had wished to find a pastime, We could have found it in Our presence - if We ever did.

19. 18

    بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِٱلْحَقِّ عَلَى ٱلْبَٰطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهُۥ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌ ۚ وَلَكُمُ ٱلْوَيْلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ

    Bal naqdhifu bi‑al‑haqqi 'ala al‑batili fayadmaghuhu fa'idha huwa zahiqun wa lakumu al‑waylu mimma tasifun

    Nay, but We hurl the true against the false, and it doth break its head and lo! it vanisheth. And yours will be woe for that which ye ascribe (unto Him).

20. 19

    وَلَهُۥ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَمَنْ عِندَهُۥ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَلَا يَسْتَحْسِرُونَ

    Wa lahu man fi as‑samawati wa al‑ardi wa man 'indahu la yastakbiruna 'an 'ibadatihi wa la yastahsirun

    Unto Him belongeth whosoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those who dwell in His presence are not too proud to worship Him, nor do they weary;

21. 20

    يُسَبِّحُونَ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ لَا يَفْتُرُونَ

    Yusabbihuna al‑layla wa an‑nahara la yafturun

    They glorify (Him) night and day; they flag not.

22. 21

    أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَةً مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ هُمْ يُنشِرُونَ

    Ami ittakhadhu alihatan mina al‑ardi hum yunshirun

    Or have they chosen gods from the earth who raise the dead?

23. 22

    لَوْ كَانَ فِيهِمَآ ءَالِهَةٌ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ لَفَسَدَتَا ۚ فَسُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

    Law kana fihima alihatun illa Allahu lafasadata fasubhana Allahi Rabbi al-'arshi 'amma yasifun

    If there were therein gods beside Allah, then verily both (the heavens and the earth) had been disordered. Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, from all that they ascribe (unto Him).

24. 23

    لَا يُسْـَٔلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْـَٔلُونَ

    La yus'alu 'amma yaf'alu wa hum yus'alun

    He will not be questioned as to that which He doeth, but they will be questioned.

25. 24

    أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً ۖ قُلْ هَاتُوا۟ بُرْهَٰنَكُمْ ۖ هَٰذَا ذِكْرُ مَن مَّعِىَ وَذِكْرُ مَن قَبْلِى ۗ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ ۖ فَهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ

    Ami ittakhadhu min dunihi alihatan qul hatu burhanakum hadha dhikru man ma'iya wa dhikru man qabli bal aktharuhum la ya'lamuna al‑haqqa fahum mu'ridun

    Or have they chosen other gods beside Him? say: Bring your proof (of their godhead). This is the Reminder of those with me and those before me, but most of them know not the Truth and so they are averse.

26. 25

    وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا نُوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعْبُدُونِ

    Wa ma arsalna min qablika min rasulin illa nuhi ilayhi annahu la ilaha illa Ana fa'budun

    And We sent no messenger before thee but We inspired him, (saying): There is no Allah save Me (Allah), so worship Me.

27. 26

    وَقَالُوا۟ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَلَدًا ۗ سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ ۚ بَلْ عِبَادٌ مُّكْرَمُونَ

    Wa qalu ittakhadha ar‑Rahmanu waladan subhanahu bal 'ibadun mukramun

    And they say: The Beneficent hath taken unto Himself a son. Be He Glorified! Nay, but (those whom they call sons) are honoured slaves;

28. 27

    لَا يَسْبِقُونَهُۥ بِٱلْقَوْلِ وَهُم بِأَمْرِهِۦ يَعْمَلُونَ

    La yasbiqunahu bil‑qawli wa hum bi'amrihi ya'malun

    They speak not until He hath spoken, and they act by His command.

29. 28

    يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يَشْفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ ٱرْتَضَىٰ وَهُم مِّنْ خَشْيَتِهِۦ مُشْفِقُونَ

    Ya'lamu ma bayna aydihim wa ma khalfahum wa la yashfa'una illa limani irtada wa hum min khashyatihi mushfiqun

    He knoweth what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot intercede except for him whom He accepteth, and they quake for awe of Him.

30. 29

    ۞ وَمَن يَقُلْ مِنْهُمْ إِنِّىٓ إِلَٰهٌ مِّن دُونِهِۦ فَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِيهِ جَهَنَّمَ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

    Wa man yaqul minhum inni ilahun min dunihi fadhalika najzihi jahannama kadhalika najzi az‑zalimin

    And one of them who should say: Lo! I am a god beside Him, that one We should repay with hell. Thus We Repay wrong-doers.

31. 30

    أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَٰهُمَا ۖ وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمَآءِ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ حَىٍّ ۖ أَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

    Awalam yara alladhina kafaru anna as‑samawati wal‑arda kanata ratqan fafataqnahuma wa ja'alna mina al‑ma'i kulla shay'in hayyin afala yu'minun

    Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them, and we made every living thing of water? Will they not then believe?

32. 31

    وَجَعَلْنَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ رَوَٰسِىَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِهِمْ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا فِجَاجًا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ

    Wa ja'alna fi al‑ardi rawasiya an tamida bihim wa ja'alna fiha fijajan subulan la'allahum yahtadun

    And We have placed in the earth firm hills lest it quake with them, and We have placed therein ravines as roads that haply they may find their way.

33. 32

    وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ سَقْفًا مَّحْفُوظًا ۖ وَهُمْ عَنْ ءَايَٰتِهَا مُعْرِضُونَ

    Wa ja'alna as‑sama'a saqfan mahfuzan wa hum 'an ayatiha mu'ridun

    And we have made the sky a roof withheld (from them). Yet they turn away from its portents.

34. 33

    وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ ۖ كُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ

    Wa huwa alladhi khalaqa al‑layla wan‑nahara wash‑shamsa wal‑qamara kullun fi falakin yasbahun

    And He it is Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. They float, each in an orbit.

35. 34

    وَمَا جَعَلْنَا لِبَشَرٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ ٱلْخُلْدَ ۖ أَفَإِي۟ن مِّتَّ فَهُمُ ٱلْخَٰلِدُونَ

    Wa ma ja'alna libasharin min qablika al‑khulda afa'in mitta fahumu al‑khalidun

    We appointed immortality for no mortal before thee. What! if thou diest, can they be immortal!

36. 35

    كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ ۗ وَنَبْلُوكُم بِٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً ۖ وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ

    Kullu nafsin dha'iqatu al‑mawti wa nablukum bish‑sharri wal‑khayri fitnatan wa ilayna turja'un

    Every soul must taste of death, and We try you with evil and with good, for ordeal. And unto Us ye will be returned.

37. 36

    وَإِذَا رَءَاكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى يَذْكُرُ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ وَهُم بِذِكْرِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ هُمْ كَٰفِرُونَ

    Wa idha ra'aka alladhina kafaru in yattakhidhunaka illa huzuwan ahadha alladhi yadhkuru alihatakum wa hum bidhikri ar‑Rahmani hum kafirun

    And when those who disbelieve behold thee, they but choose thee out for mockery, (saying): Is this he who maketh mention of your gods? And they would deny all mention of the Beneficent.

38. 37

    خُلِقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِنْ عَجَلٍ ۚ سَأُو۟رِيكُمْ ءَايَٰتِى فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُونِ

    Khuliqa al‑insanu min 'ajalin sa'urikum ayati fala tasta'jilun

    Man is made of haste. I shall show you My portents, but ask Me not to hasten.

39. 38

    وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

    Wa yaquluna mata hadha al‑wa'du in kuntum sadiqin

    And they say: When will this promise (be fulfilled), if ye are truthful?

40. 39

    لَوْ يَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ حِينَ لَا يَكُفُّونَ عَن وُجُوهِهِمُ ٱلنَّارَ وَلَا عَن ظُهُورِهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ

    Law ya'lamu alladhina kafaru hina la yakuffuna 'an wujuhihimu an‑nara wa la 'an zuhurihim wa la hum yunsarun

    If those who disbelieved but knew the time when they will not be able to drive off the fire from their faces and from their backs, and they will not be helped!

41. 40

    بَلْ تَأْتِيهِم بَغْتَةً فَتَبْهَتُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ

    Bal ta'tihim baghtatan fatabhatuhum fala yastati'una raddaha wa la hum yunzarun

    Nay, but it will come upon them unawares so that it will stupefy them, and they will be unable to repel it, neither will they be reprieved.

42. 41

    وَلَقَدِ ٱسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِٱلَّذِينَ سَخِرُوا۟ مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

    Wa laqadi istuhzi'a birusulin min qablika fahaqa billadhina sakhiru minhum ma kanu bihi yastahzi'un

    Messengers before thee, indeed, were mocked, but that whereat they mocked surrounded those who scoffed at them.

43. 42

    قُلْ مَن يَكْلَؤُكُم بِٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ مِنَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ۗ بَلْ هُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ

    Qul man yakla'ukum bil‑layli wan‑nahari mina ar‑Rahmani bal hum 'an dhikri rabbihim mu'ridun

    Say: Who guardeth you in the night or in the day from the Beneficent? Nay, but they turn away from mention of their Lord!

44. 43

    أَمْ لَهُمْ ءَالِهَةٌ تَمْنَعُهُم مِّن دُونِنَا ۚ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَلَا هُم مِّنَّا يُصْحَبُونَ

    Am lahum alihatun tamna'uhum min dunina la yastati'una nasra anfusihim wa la hum minna yushabun

    Or have they gods who can shield them from Us? They cannot help themselves nor can they be defended from Us.

45. 44

    بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْعُمُرُ ۗ أَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّا نَأْتِى ٱلْأَرْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَآ ۚ أَفَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ

    Bal matta'na ha'ula'i wa aba'ahum hatta tala 'alayhimu al-'umuru afala yarawna anna na'ti al‑arda nanqusuha min atrafiha afahumu al‑ghalibun

    Nay, but We gave these and their fathers ease until life grew long for them. See they not how we aim to the land, reducing it of its outlying parts? Can they then be the victors?

46. 45

    قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أُنذِرُكُم بِٱلْوَحْىِ ۚ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ ٱلصُّمُّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا مَا يُنذَرُونَ

    Qul innama undhirukum bil‑wahyi wa la yasma'u as‑summu ad‑du'a'a idha ma yundharun

    Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): I warn you only by the Inspiration. But the deaf hear not the call when they are warned.

47. 46

    وَلَئِن مَّسَّتْهُمْ نَفْحَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ يَٰوَيْلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ

    Wa la'in massathum nafhatun min 'adhabi rabbika layaqulunna ya waylana inna kunna zalimin

    And if a breath of thy Lord's punishment were to touch them, they assuredly would say: Alas for us! Lo! we were wrong-doers.

48. 47

    وَنَضَعُ ٱلْمَوَٰزِينَ ٱلْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ فَلَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْـًٔا ۖ وَإِن كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنَا بِهَا ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِنَا حَٰسِبِينَ

    Wa nada'u al‑mawazina al‑qista liyawmi al‑qiyamati fala tuzlamu nafsun shay'an wa in kana mithqala habbatin min khardalin atayna biha wa kafa bina hasibin

    And We set a just balance for the Day of Resurrection so that no soul is wronged in aught. Though it be of the weight of a grain of mustard seed, We bring it. And We suffice for reckoners.

49. 48

    وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ٱلْفُرْقَانَ وَضِيَآءً وَذِكْرًا لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ

    Walaqad atayna Musa wa Haruna al‑furqana wa diya'an wa dhikran lil‑muttaqin

    And We verily gave Moses and Aaron the Criterion (of right and wrong) and a light and a Reminder for those who keep from evil,

50. 49

    ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَهُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ مُشْفِقُونَ

    Alladhina yakhshawna rabbahum bil‑ghaybi wa hum mina as‑sa'ati mushfiqun

    Those who fear their Lord in secret and who dread the Hour (of doom).

51. 50

    وَهَٰذَا ذِكْرٌ مُّبَارَكٌ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ ۚ أَفَأَنتُمْ لَهُۥ مُنكِرُونَ

    Wa hadha dhikrun mubarakun anzalnahu afa'antum lahu munkirun

    This is a blessed Reminder that we have revealed: Will ye then reject it?

52. 51

    ۞ وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَآ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ رُشْدَهُۥ مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا بِهِۦ عَٰلِمِينَ

    Walaqad atayna Ibrahima rushdahu min qablu wa kunna bihi 'alimin

    And We verily gave Abraham of old his proper course, and We were Aware of him,

53. 52

    إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلتَّمَاثِيلُ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَنتُمْ لَهَا عَٰكِفُونَ

    Idh qala li'abihi wa qawmihi ma hadhihi at‑tamathilu allati antum laha 'akifun

    When he said unto his father and his folk: What are these images unto which ye pay devotion?

54. 53

    قَالُوا۟ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا لَهَا عَٰبِدِينَ

    Qalu wajadna aba'ana laha 'abidin

    They said: We found our fathers worshippers of them.

    Qala bal fa'alahu kabiruhum hadha fas'aluhum in kanu yantiqun

     Qul innama yuha ilayya annama ilahukum ilahun wahidun fahal antum muslimun

     Say: It is only inspired in me that your Allah is One Allah. Will ye then surrender (unto Him)?

110. 109

     فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَقُلْ ءَاذَنتُكُمْ عَلَىٰ سَوَآءٍ ۖ وَإِنْ أَدْرِىٓ أَقَرِيبٌ أَم بَعِيدٌ مَّا تُوعَدُونَ

     Fa'in tawallaw faqul adhantukum 'ala sawa'in wa in adri aqaribun am ba'idun ma tu'adun

     But if they are averse, then say: I have warned you all alike, although I know not whether nigh or far is that which ye are promised.

111. 110

     إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْتُمُونَ

     Innahu ya'lamu al‑jahra mina al‑qawli wa ya'lamu ma taktumun

     Lo! He knoweth that which is said openly, and that which ye conceal.

112. 111

     وَإِنْ أَدْرِى لَعَلَّهُۥ فِتْنَةٌ لَّكُمْ وَمَتَٰعٌ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ

     Wa in adri la'allahu fitnatun lakum wa mata'un ila hin

     And I know not but that this may be a trial for you, and enjoyment for a while.

113. 112

     قَٰلَ رَبِّ ٱحْكُم بِٱلْحَقِّ ۗ وَرَبُّنَا ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ ٱلْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ

     Qala Rabbi uhkum bil‑haqqi wa Rabbuna ar‑Rahmanu al‑musta'anu 'ala ma tasifun

     He saith: My Lord! Judge Thou with truth. Our Lord is the Beneficent, Whose help is to be implored against that which ye ascribe (unto Him).
