بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ طس ۚ تِلكَ آياتُ القُرآنِ وَكِتابٍ مُبينٍ

Ta. Seen. These are the verses of the Quran—a clear and enlightening Scripture.

هُدًى وَبُشرىٰ لِلمُؤمِنينَ

A guide and good news to the believers.

الَّذينَ يُقيمونَ الصَّلاةَ وَيُؤتونَ الزَّكاةَ وَهُم بِالآخِرَةِ هُم يوقِنونَ

Those who establish prayer, give the purifying charity, and have firm belief in the Hereafter.

إِنَّ الَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِالآخِرَةِ زَيَّنّا لَهُم أَعمالَهُم فَهُم يَعمَهونَ

For those who don’t believe in the Hereafter, We make their deeds appear attractive to them, so they wander aimlessly.

أُولـٰئِكَ الَّذينَ لَهُم سوءُ العَذابِ وَهُم فِي الآخِرَةِ هُمُ الأَخسَرونَ

These will suffer the worst punishment, and in the Hereafter, they will be the most significant losers.

وَإِنَّكَ لَتُلَقَّى القُرآنَ مِن لَدُن حَكيمٍ عَليمٍ

You are receiving the Quran from the One who is All-Wise, All-Knowing.

إِذ قالَ موسىٰ لِأَهلِهِ إِنّي آنَستُ نارًا سَآتيكُم مِنها بِخَبَرٍ أَو آتيكُم بِشِهابٍ قَبَسٍ لَعَلَّكُم تَصطَلونَ

When Moses said to his family, “I noticed a fire. I will bring you news from it, or a burning torch to warm yourselves.”

فَلَمّا جاءَها نودِيَ أَن بورِكَ مَن فِي النّارِ وَمَن حَولَها وَسُبحانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ العالَمينَ

As he approached it, he was called, “Blessed is whoever is at the fire and whoever is around it, and glory be to God, the Lord of the worlds.

يا موسىٰ إِنَّهُ أَنَا اللَّهُ العَزيزُ الحَكيمُ

O Moses, it is I, God, the Almighty, the All-Wise.

وَأَلقِ عَصاكَ ۚ فَلَمّا رَآها تَهتَزُّ كَأَنَّها جانٌّ وَلّىٰ مُدبِرًا وَلَم يُعَقِّب ۚ يا موسىٰ لا تَخَف إِنّي لا يَخافُ لَدَيَّ المُرسَلونَ

Lay down your staff.” As he saw it moving like a serpent, he turned to flee. “O Moses, fear not; the messengers don’t fear in My presence.

إِلّا مَن ظَلَمَ ثُمَّ بَدَّلَ حُسنًا بَعدَ سوءٍ فَإِنّي غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

However, anyone who does wrong and then replaces it with good—I am Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

وَأَدخِل يَدَكَ في جَيبِكَ تَخرُج بَيضاءَ مِن غَيرِ سوءٍ ۖ في تِسعِ آياتٍ إِلىٰ فِرعَونَ وَقَومِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُم كانوا قَومًا فاسِقينَ

Now, insert your hand into your cloak; it will come out white and flawless. These are among nine signs for Pharaoh and his people. They are sinful people.”

فَلَمّا جاءَتهُم آياتُنا مُبصِرَةً قالوا هـٰذا سِحرٌ مُبينٌ

When Our signs were presented to them, they said, “This is nothing but obvious magic.”

وَجَحَدوا بِها وَاستَيقَنَتها أَنفُسُهُم ظُلمًا وَعُلُوًّا ۚ فَانظُر كَيفَ كانَ عاقِبَةُ المُفسِدينَ

They denied them unjustly and arrogantly, despite their inner selves being convinced of them. Observe, then, the end of the corruptors.

وَلَقَد آتَينا داوودَ وَسُلَيمانَ عِلمًا ۖ وَقالَا الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذي فَضَّلَنا عَلىٰ كَثيرٍ مِن عِبادِهِ المُؤمِنينَ

We granted knowledge to David and Solomon. They said, “Praise be to God, who has favored us over many of His believing servants.”

وَوَرِثَ سُلَيمانُ داوودَ ۖ وَقالَ يا أَيُّهَا النّاسُ عُلِّمنا مَنطِقَ الطَّيرِ وَأوتينا مِن كُلِّ شَيءٍ ۖ إِنَّ هـٰذا لَهُوَ الفَضلُ المُبينُ

Solomon succeeded David. He said, “O people, we were taught the language of birds, and we were given a share of everything. Indeed, these are the evident blessings.”

وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَيمانَ جُنودُهُ مِنَ الجِنِّ وَالإِنسِ وَالطَّيرِ فَهُم يوزَعونَ

And gathered for Solomon were his troops of jinn, men, and birds—all held in strict order.

حَتّىٰ إِذا أَتَوا عَلىٰ وادِ النَّملِ قالَت نَملَةٌ يا أَيُّهَا النَّملُ ادخُلوا مَساكِنَكُم لا يَحطِمَنَّكُم سُلَيمانُ وَجُنودُهُ وَهُم لا يَشعُرونَ

Upon reaching the Valley of the Ants, an ant warned, “O ants, retreat to your dwellings, lest Solomon and his troops inadvertently crush you.”

فَتَبَسَّمَ ضاحِكًا مِن قَولِها وَقالَ رَبِّ أَوزِعني أَن أَشكُرَ نِعمَتَكَ الَّتي أَنعَمتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلىٰ والِدَيَّ وَأَن أَعمَلَ صالِحًا تَرضاهُ وَأَدخِلني بِرَحمَتِكَ في عِبادِكَ الصّالِحينَ

Amused by her words, he laughed and prayed, “My Lord, enable me to be thankful for the blessings You’ve bestowed upon me and my parents, and to perform righteous deeds that please You. And by Your mercy, include me among Your righteous servants.”

وَتَفَقَّدَ الطَّيرَ فَقالَ ما لِيَ لا أَرَى الهُدهُدَ أَم كانَ مِنَ الغائِبينَ

He surveyed the birds and said, “What’s amiss that I don’t see the hoopoe? Could he be among the absentees?

لَأُعَذِّبَنَّهُ عَذابًا شَديدًا أَو لَأَذبَحَنَّهُ أَو لَيَأتِيَنّي بِسُلطانٍ مُبينٍ

I will punish him severely or even slay him, unless he brings me a valid explanation.”

فَمَكَثَ غَيرَ بَعيدٍ فَقالَ أَحَطتُ بِما لَم تُحِط بِهِ وَجِئتُكَ مِن سَبَإٍ بِنَبَإٍ يَقينٍ

But he didn’t take long to return and said, “I have discovered what you didn’t know. I’ve come to you from Sheba with certain news.

إِنّي وَجَدتُ امرَأَةً تَملِكُهُم وَأوتِيَت مِن كُلِّ شَيءٍ وَلَها عَرشٌ عَظيمٌ

I found a woman ruling over them, endowed with every requisite, and she possesses a magnificent throne.

وَجَدتُها وَقَومَها يَسجُدونَ لِلشَّمسِ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيطانُ أَعمالَهُم فَصَدَّهُم عَنِ السَّبيلِ فَهُم لا يَهتَدونَ

I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of God. Satan made their deeds appear pleasing to them, thus diverting them from the path, so they are not guided.

أَلّا يَسجُدوا لِلَّهِ الَّذي يُخرِجُ الخَبءَ فِي السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَيَعلَمُ ما تُخفونَ وَما تُعلِنونَ

Shouldn’t they prostrate to God, who brings out the hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you conceal and what you disclose?

اللَّهُ لا إِلـٰهَ إِلّا هُوَ رَبُّ العَرشِ العَظيمِ ۩

God—there is no deity except He, the Lord of the Majestic Throne.”

قالَ سَنَنظُرُ أَصَدَقتَ أَم كُنتَ مِنَ الكاذِبينَ

He responded, “We will see whether you told the truth or were lying.

اذهَب بِكِتابي هـٰذا فَأَلقِه إِلَيهِم ثُمَّ تَوَلَّ عَنهُم فَانظُر ماذا يَرجِعونَ

Take this letter of mine, deliver it to them, then withdraw from them and see what their response will be.”

قالَت يا أَيُّهَا المَلَأُ إِنّي أُلقِيَ إِلَيَّ كِتابٌ كَريمٌ

She said, “O council, I have been delivered a noble letter.

إِنَّهُ مِن سُلَيمانَ وَإِنَّهُ بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ

It is from Solomon, and it is ‘In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.’

أَلّا تَعلوا عَلَيَّ وَأتوني مُسلِمينَ

‘Don’t exalt yourselves above me, but come to me in submission.’”

قالَت يا أَيُّهَا المَلَأُ أَفتوني في أَمري ما كُنتُ قاطِعَةً أَمرًا حَتّىٰ تَشهَدونِ

She continued, “O my counselors, advise me in this matter. I don’t make a decision without your counsel.”

قالوا نَحنُ أُولو قُوَّةٍ وَأُولو بَأسٍ شَديدٍ وَالأَمرُ إِلَيكِ فَانظُري ماذا تَأمُرينَ

They responded, “We possess power and great military might, but the command is yours to decide. Consider what you will command.”

قالَت إِنَّ المُلوكَ إِذا دَخَلوا قَريَةً أَفسَدوها وَجَعَلوا أَعِزَّةَ أَهلِها أَذِلَّةً ۖ وَكَذٰلِكَ يَفعَلونَ

She said, “When kings enter a city, they ruin it and humiliate its noble citizens. Such is their way.

وَإِنّي مُرسِلَةٌ إِلَيهِم بِهَدِيَّةٍ فَناظِرَةٌ بِمَ يَرجِعُ المُرسَلونَ

I will send them a gift and await what the messengers will return.”

فَلَمّا جاءَ سُلَيمانَ قالَ أَتُمِدّونَنِ بِمالٍ فَما آتانِيَ اللَّهُ خَيرٌ مِمّا آتاكُم بَل أَنتُم بِهَدِيَّتِكُم تَفرَحونَ

Upon receiving it, Solomon said, “Are you offering me money? What God gave me is far better than what He gave you. It is you who rejoice in your gift.

ارجِع إِلَيهِم فَلَنَأتِيَنَّهُم بِجُنودٍ لا قِبَلَ لَهُم بِها وَلَنُخرِجَنَّهُم مِنها أَذِلَّةً وَهُم صاغِرونَ

Return to them; we will come at them with forces they can’t resist, and we will expel them from there, humiliated and belittled.”

قالَ يا أَيُّهَا المَلَأُ أَيُّكُم يَأتيني بِعَرشِها قَبلَ أَن يَأتوني مُسلِمينَ

He asked, “O nobles, who among you can bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?”

قالَ عِفريتٌ مِنَ الجِنِّ أَنا آتيكَ بِهِ قَبلَ أَن تَقومَ مِن مَقامِكَ ۖ وَإِنّي عَلَيهِ لَقَوِيٌّ أَمينٌ

A powerful jinn responded, “I can bring it to you before you rise from your place. I am strong and trustworthy enough to do it.”

قالَ الَّذي عِندَهُ عِلمٌ مِنَ الكِتابِ أَنا آتيكَ بِهِ قَبلَ أَن يَرتَدَّ إِلَيكَ طَرفُكَ ۚ فَلَمّا رَآهُ مُستَقِرًّا عِندَهُ قالَ هـٰذا مِن فَضلِ رَبّي لِيَبلُوَني أَأَشكُرُ أَم أَكفُرُ ۖ وَمَن شَكَرَ فَإِنَّما يَشكُرُ لِنَفسِهِ ۖ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ رَبّي غَنِيٌّ كَريمٌ

The one who had knowledge of the Scripture suggested, “I can bring it to you before you can blink.” When Solomon saw it placed before him, he exclaimed, “This is by the grace of my Lord, to test whether I am grateful or ungrateful. Whoever gives thanks, he gives thanks for his own good. And whoever is ungrateful—my Lord is Free of need and Generous.”

قالَ نَكِّروا لَها عَرشَها نَنظُر أَتَهتَدي أَم تَكونُ مِنَ الَّذينَ لا يَهتَدونَ

He said, “Alter her throne for her; we shall see whether she will be guided or she will be one of those not guided.”

فَلَمّا جاءَت قيلَ أَهـٰكَذا عَرشُكِ ۖ قالَت كَأَنَّهُ هُوَ ۚ وَأوتينَا العِلمَ مِن قَبلِها وَكُنّا مُسلِمينَ

Upon her arrival, she was asked, “Does your throne resemble this one?” She replied, “As if it were the same.” “We were given knowledge beforehand, and we have already submitted.”

وَصَدَّها ما كانَت تَعبُدُ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّها كانَت مِن قَومٍ كافِرينَ

What she was worshiping besides God had prevented her. She was from a disbelieving people.

قيلَ لَهَا ادخُلِي الصَّرحَ ۖ فَلَمّا رَأَتهُ حَسِبَتهُ لُجَّةً وَكَشَفَت عَن ساقَيها ۚ قالَ إِنَّهُ صَرحٌ مُمَرَّدٌ مِن قَواريرَ ۗ قالَت رَبِّ إِنّي ظَلَمتُ نَفسي وَأَسلَمتُ مَعَ سُلَيمانَ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العالَمينَ

She was directed to enter the palace. Upon seeing it, she mistook it for a pool and bared her legs. He said, “It is a courtyard paved with glass.” She said, “My Lord, I have wronged myself, and I submit with Solomon, to God—Lord of the worlds.”

وَلَقَد أَرسَلنا إِلىٰ ثَمودَ أَخاهُم صالِحًا أَنِ اعبُدُوا اللَّهَ فَإِذا هُم فَريقانِ يَختَصِمونَ

To Thamud, We sent their brother Saleh: “Worship God.” Yet, they became two quarreling factions.

قالَ يا قَومِ لِمَ تَستَعجِلونَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ قَبلَ الحَسَنَةِ ۖ لَولا تَستَغفِرونَ اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُم تُرحَمونَ

He pleaded, “O my people, why do you hasten towards evil rather than good? Why not ask for God’s forgiveness, so you may receive mercy.”

قالُوا اطَّيَّرنا بِكَ وَبِمَن مَعَكَ ۚ قالَ طائِرُكُم عِندَ اللَّهِ ۖ بَل أَنتُم قَومٌ تُفتَنونَ

They responded, “We see ill omens in you and those with you.” He replied, “Your omens are determined by God; you are a people being tested.”

وَكانَ فِي المَدينَةِ تِسعَةُ رَهطٍ يُفسِدونَ فِي الأَرضِ وَلا يُصلِحونَ

In the city were nine individuals who made mischief in the land and didn’t reform.

قالوا تَقاسَموا بِاللَّهِ لَنُبَيِّتَنَّهُ وَأَهلَهُ ثُمَّ لَنَقولَنَّ لِوَلِيِّهِ ما شَهِدنا مَهلِكَ أَهلِهِ وَإِنّا لَصادِقونَ

They conspired, “Let us swear by God to attack him and his family under the cover of night. Then, we will tell his guardian that we didn’t know of his family’s demise; we are telling the truth.”

وَمَكَروا مَكرًا وَمَكَرنا مَكرًا وَهُم لا يَشعُرونَ

And they plotted a conspiracy, and We plotted a conspiracy, while they were unaware.

فَانظُر كَيفَ كانَ عاقِبَةُ مَكرِهِم أَنّا دَمَّرناهُم وَقَومَهُم أَجمَعينَ

Consider the outcome of their scheming: We obliterated them and their entire community.

فَتِلكَ بُيوتُهُم خاوِيَةً بِما ظَلَموا ۗ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِقَومٍ يَعلَمونَ

Their homes now lie deserted due to their wrongdoings, a clear sign for those who understand.

وَأَنجَينَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَكانوا يَتَّقونَ

And We saved those who believed and led righteous lives.

وَلوطًا إِذ قالَ لِقَومِهِ أَتَأتونَ الفاحِشَةَ وَأَنتُم تُبصِرونَ

Lot admonished his people, “Do you openly commit such indecencies?

أَئِنَّكُم لَتَأتونَ الرِّجالَ شَهوَةً مِن دونِ النِّساءِ ۚ بَل أَنتُم قَومٌ تَجهَلونَ

Do you approach men with lust instead of women? You are a people acting ignorantly.”

فَما كانَ جَوابَ قَومِهِ إِلّا أَن قالوا أَخرِجوا آلَ لوطٍ مِن قَريَتِكُم ۖ إِنَّهُم أُناسٌ يَتَطَهَّرونَ

But the answer of his people was nothing more than, “Drive Lot’s family out of your town. They are people who want to stay pure!”

فَأَنجَيناهُ وَأَهلَهُ إِلَّا امرَأَتَهُ قَدَّرناها مِنَ الغابِرينَ

So, We rescued him and his family, except for his wife, whom We destined to be among those left behind.

وَأَمطَرنا عَلَيهِم مَطَرًا ۖ فَساءَ مَطَرُ المُنذَرينَ

Then We rained down on them a torrent. How terrible was the rain for the forewarned!

قُلِ الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ وَسَلامٌ عَلىٰ عِبادِهِ الَّذينَ اصطَفىٰ ۗ آللَّهُ خَيرٌ أَمّا يُشرِكونَ

Say, “Praise be to God, and peace be upon His chosen servants. Is God better, or what they associate with Him?”

أَمَّن خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأَنبَتنا بِهِ حَدائِقَ ذاتَ بَهجَةٍ ما كانَ لَكُم أَن تُنبِتوا شَجَرَها ۗ أَإِلـٰهٌ مَعَ اللَّهِ ۚ بَل هُم قَومٌ يَعدِلونَ

Who created the heavens and the earth, and sent down water from the sky for you, with which We cultivate delightful gardens, the likes of which you couldn’t have grown? Is there a god along with God? They are people who equate.

أَمَّن جَعَلَ الأَرضَ قَرارًا وَجَعَلَ خِلالَها أَنهارًا وَجَعَلَ لَها رَواسِيَ وَجَعَلَ بَينَ البَحرَينِ حاجِزًا ۗ أَإِلـٰهٌ مَعَ اللَّهِ ۚ بَل أَكثَرُهُم لا يَعلَمونَ

Who made the earth a stable home, set rivers through it, placed firm mountains, and created a barrier between the two seas? Is there a god along with God? Yet, most of them don’t know.

أَمَّن يُجيبُ المُضطَرَّ إِذا دَعاهُ وَيَكشِفُ السّوءَ وَيَجعَلُكُم خُلَفاءَ الأَرضِ ۗ أَإِلـٰهٌ مَعَ اللَّهِ ۚ قَليلًا ما تَذَكَّرونَ

Who responds to the distressed when he calls upon Him, alleviates affliction, and makes you inheritors of the earth? Is there a god along with God? Yet, you reflect little.

أَمَّن يَهديكُم في ظُلُماتِ البَرِّ وَالبَحرِ وَمَن يُرسِلُ الرِّياحَ بُشرًا بَينَ يَدَي رَحمَتِهِ ۗ أَإِلـٰهٌ مَعَ اللَّهِ ۚ تَعالَى اللَّهُ عَمّا يُشرِكونَ

Who guides you through the darkness on land and sea, and sends winds heralding His mercy? Is there a god along with God? God is far beyond what they associate.

أَمَّن يَبدَأُ الخَلقَ ثُمَّ يُعيدُهُ وَمَن يَرزُقُكُم مِنَ السَّماءِ وَالأَرضِ ۗ أَإِلـٰهٌ مَعَ اللَّهِ ۚ قُل هاتوا بُرهانَكُم إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ

Who initiates the creation, repeats it, and provides for you from the sky and the earth? Is there a god along with God? Say, “Present your evidence, if you are truthful.”

قُل لا يَعلَمُ مَن فِي السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ الغَيبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ۚ وَما يَشعُرونَ أَيّانَ يُبعَثونَ

Say, “None in the heavens and the earth knows the unseen, except for God, and they don’t perceive when they will be resurrected.”

بَلِ ادّارَكَ عِلمُهُم فِي الآخِرَةِ ۚ بَل هُم في شَكٍّ مِنها ۖ بَل هُم مِنها عَمونَ

Their understanding of the Hereafter is obscure; they are skeptical about it, and they are blind to it.

وَقالَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا أَإِذا كُنّا تُرابًا وَآباؤُنا أَئِنّا لَمُخرَجونَ

Those who disbelieve say, “When we and our ancestors become dust, will we be resurrected?

لَقَد وُعِدنا هـٰذا نَحنُ وَآباؤُنا مِن قَبلُ إِن هـٰذا إِلّا أَساطيرُ الأَوَّلينَ

We and our ancestors were promised this before; these are nothing but legends of the ancients.”

قُل سيروا فِي الأَرضِ فَانظُروا كَيفَ كانَ عاقِبَةُ المُجرِمينَ

Say, “Roam the earth and see the fate that befell the wrongdoers.”

وَلا تَحزَن عَلَيهِم وَلا تَكُن في ضَيقٍ مِمّا يَمكُرونَ

Don’t grieve for them, nor be distressed by their schemes.

وَيَقولونَ مَتىٰ هـٰذَا الوَعدُ إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ

They ask, “When will this promise come to pass, if you are truthful?”

قُل عَسىٰ أَن يَكونَ رَدِفَ لَكُم بَعضُ الَّذي تَستَعجِلونَ

Reply, “It may be that what you wish to hasten is already near you.”

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذو فَضلٍ عَلَى النّاسِ وَلـٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَهُم لا يَشكُرونَ

Your Lord is generous towards people, yet most of them don’t express gratitude.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَعلَمُ ما تُكِنُّ صُدورُهُم وَما يُعلِنونَ

Surely your Lord knows what their hearts hide and what they reveal.

وَما مِن غائِبَةٍ فِي السَّماءِ وَالأَرضِ إِلّا في كِتابٍ مُبينٍ

There is nothing concealed in the heavens or on the earth that is not in a clear record.

إِنَّ هـٰذَا القُرآنَ يَقُصُّ عَلىٰ بَني إِسرائيلَ أَكثَرَ الَّذي هُم فيهِ يَختَلِفونَ

This Quran clarifies many of the disagreements amongst the Children of Israel.

وَإِنَّهُ لَهُدًى وَرَحمَةٌ لِلمُؤمِنينَ

Furthermore, it is a guide and a mercy to the believers.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقضي بَينَهُم بِحُكمِهِ ۚ وَهُوَ العَزيزُ العَليمُ

Your Lord will judge among them by His wisdom. He is the Mighty, the All-Knowing.

فَتَوَكَّل عَلَى اللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَى الحَقِّ المُبينِ

Therefore, put your trust in God. You are on the path of apparent truth.

إِنَّكَ لا تُسمِعُ المَوتىٰ وَلا تُسمِعُ الصُّمَّ الدُّعاءَ إِذا وَلَّوا مُدبِرينَ

You can’t make the dead hear, nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they retreat.

وَما أَنتَ بِهادِي العُميِ عَن ضَلالَتِهِم ۖ إِن تُسمِعُ إِلّا مَن يُؤمِنُ بِآياتِنا فَهُم مُسلِمونَ

You can’t guide the blind out of their errancy. You can make none hear except those who believe in Our revelations; they are in submission.

وَإِذا وَقَعَ القَولُ عَلَيهِم أَخرَجنا لَهُم دابَّةً مِنَ الأَرضِ تُكَلِّمُهُم أَنَّ النّاسَ كانوا بِآياتِنا لا يوقِنونَ

When the Decree is issued against them, We will produce for them a creature from the earth that will speak to them because people had no faith in Our signs.

وَيَومَ نَحشُرُ مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ فَوجًا مِمَّن يُكَذِّبُ بِآياتِنا فَهُم يوزَعونَ

On the Day we will gather from every community a group of those who denied Our revelations, they will be marshaled.

حَتّىٰ إِذا جاءوا قالَ أَكَذَّبتُم بِآياتي وَلَم تُحيطوا بِها عِلمًا أَمّاذا كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ

When they arrive, He will say, “Did you reject My verses without understanding them, or what exactly were you doing?”

وَوَقَعَ القَولُ عَلَيهِم بِما ظَلَموا فَهُم لا يَنطِقونَ

The Decree will befall them due to their wrongdoings, rendering them speechless.

أَلَم يَرَوا أَنّا جَعَلنَا اللَّيلَ لِيَسكُنوا فيهِ وَالنَّهارَ مُبصِرًا ۚ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِقَومٍ يُؤمِنونَ

Don’t they contemplate how We created the night so they can rest and the day for visibility? In this are signs for those who believe.

وَيَومَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصّورِ فَفَزِعَ مَن فِي السَّماواتِ وَمَن فِي الأَرضِ إِلّا مَن شاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ وَكُلٌّ أَتَوهُ داخِرينَ

On the Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and everyone in the heavens and everyone on earth will be terrified, except those whom God wills. Everyone will come humbly submissive before Him.

وَتَرَى الجِبالَ تَحسَبُها جامِدَةً وَهِيَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ السَّحابِ ۚ صُنعَ اللَّهِ الَّذي أَتقَنَ كُلَّ شَيءٍ ۚ إِنَّهُ خَبيرٌ بِما تَفعَلونَ

You see the mountains, and you think they are fixed, but they pass, as the passing of the clouds. The making of God, who perfected everything; He is fully aware of everything you do.

مَن جاءَ بِالحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ خَيرٌ مِنها وَهُم مِن فَزَعٍ يَومَئِذٍ آمِنونَ

Whoever brings a good deed, he will have better than it, and they will be secure from terror on that day.

وَمَن جاءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَكُبَّت وُجوهُهُم فِي النّارِ هَل تُجزَونَ إِلّا ما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ

But those who commit evil deeds, their faces will be thrown into the Fire. Are you recompensed except for what you used to do?

إِنَّما أُمِرتُ أَن أَعبُدَ رَبَّ هـٰذِهِ البَلدَةِ الَّذي حَرَّمَها وَلَهُ كُلُّ شَيءٍ ۖ وَأُمِرتُ أَن أَكونَ مِنَ المُسلِمينَ

“I have been commanded only to worship the Lord of this town, Who has declared it sacred, and to Whom all things belong. And I am commanded to be of those who submit.

وَأَن أَتلُوَ القُرآنَ ۖ فَمَنِ اهتَدىٰ فَإِنَّما يَهتَدي لِنَفسِهِ ۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَقُل إِنَّما أَنا مِنَ المُنذِرينَ

And to convey the Quran.” Whoever is guided, is only guided for his soul. As for those who go astray, then say, “I am only a warner.”

وَقُلِ الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ سَيُريكُم آياتِهِ فَتَعرِفونَها ۚ وَما رَبُّكَ بِغافِلٍ عَمّا تَعمَلونَ

And say, “Praise be to God, He will show you His signs, and you will recognize them. Your Lord is not unaware of what you do.”
