Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed

Walaqad khalaqna alinsana min sulalatin min teenin

And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay

ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَٰهُ نُطۡفَةٗ فِي قَرَارٖ مَّكِينٖ ﴿١٣﴾

Thumma jaʿalnahu nutfatan fee qararin makeenin

Then We placed him as a sperm-drop in a firm lodging

ثُمَّ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلنُّطۡفَةَ عَلَقَةٗ فَخَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡعَلَقَةَ مُضۡغَةٗ فَخَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمُضۡغَةَ عِظَٰمٗا فَكَسَوۡنَا ٱلۡعِظَٰمَ لَحۡمٗا ثُمَّ أَنشَأۡنَٰهُ خَلۡقًا ءَاخَرَۚ فَتَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ أَحۡسَنُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ ﴿١٤﴾

Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُم بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَيِّتُونَ ﴿١٥﴾

Thumma innakum baʿda thalika lamayyitoona

Then indeed, after that you are to die

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ تُبۡعَثُونَ ﴿١٦﴾

Thumma innakum yawma alqiyamati tubʿathoona

Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, will be resurrected

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعَ طَرَآئِقَ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ ٱلۡخَلۡقِ غَٰفِلِينَ ﴿١٧﴾

Walaqad khalaqna fawqakum sabʿa taraiqa wama kunna ʿani alkhalqi ghafileena

And We have created above you seven layered heavens, and never have We been of [Our] creation unaware

وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءَۢ بِقَدَرٖ فَأَسۡكَنَّـٰهُ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ ذَهَابِۭ بِهِۦ لَقَٰدِرُونَ ﴿١٨﴾

Waanzalna mina alssamai maan biqadarin faaskannahu fee alardi wainna ʿala thahabin bihi laqadiroona

And We have sent down rain from the sky in a measured amount and settled it in the earth. And indeed, We are Able to take it away

فَأَنشَأۡنَا لَكُم بِهِۦ جَنَّـٰتٖ مِّن نَّخِيلٖ وَأَعۡنَٰبٖ لَّكُمۡ فِيهَا فَوَٰكِهُ كَثِيرَةٞ وَمِنۡهَا تَأۡكُلُونَ ﴿١٩﴾

Faanshana lakum bihi jannatin min nakheelin waaʿnabin lakum feeha fawakihu katheeratun waminha takuloona

And We brought forth for you thereby gardens of palm trees and grapevines in which for you are abundant fruits and from which you eat

وَشَجَرَةٗ تَخۡرُجُ مِن طُورِ سَيۡنَآءَ تَنۢبُتُ بِٱلدُّهۡنِ وَصِبۡغٖ لِّلۡأٓكِلِينَ ﴿٢٠﴾

Wainna lakum fee alanʿami laʿibratan nusqeekum mimma fee butooniha walakum feeha manafiʿu katheeratun waminha takuloona

And indeed, for you in livestock is a lesson. We give you drink from that which is in their bellies, and for you in them are numerous benefits, and from them you eat

وَعَلَيۡهَا وَعَلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ تُحۡمَلُونَ ﴿٢٢﴾

Waʿalayha waʿala alfulki tuhmaloona

And upon them and on ships you are carried

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ فَقَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥٓۚ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿٢٣﴾

Walaqad arsalna noohan ila qawmihi faqala ya qawmi oʿbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoona

And We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him

فَقَالَ ٱلۡمَلَؤُاْ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَوۡمِهِۦ مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُكُمۡ يُرِيدُ أَن يَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَأَنزَلَ مَلَـٰٓئِكَةٗ مَّا سَمِعۡنَا بِهَٰذَا فِيٓ ءَابَآئِنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ﴿٢٤﴾

Faqala almalao allatheena kafaroo min qawmihi ma hatha illa basharun mithlukum yureedu an yatafaddala ʿalaykum walaw shaa Allahu laanzala malaikatan ma samiʿna bihatha fee abaina alawwaleena

But the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, "This is not but a man like yourselves who wishes to take precedence over you; and if Allah had willed [to send a messenger], He would have sent down angels. We have not heard of this among our forefathers

إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلُۢ بِهِۦ جِنَّةٞ فَتَرَبَّصُواْ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ ﴿٢٥﴾

In huwa illa rajulun bihi jinnatun fatarabbasoo bihi hatta heenin

He is not but a man possessed with madness, so wait concerning him for a time

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱنصُرۡنِي بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ ﴿٢٦﴾

Qala rabbi onsurnee bima kaththabooni

[Noah] said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me

فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِ أَنِ ٱصۡنَعِ ٱلۡفُلۡكَ بِأَعۡيُنِنَا وَوَحۡيِنَا فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَمۡرُنَا وَفَارَ ٱلتَّنُّورُ فَٱسۡلُكۡ فِيهَا مِن كُلّٖ زَوۡجَيۡنِ ٱثۡنَيۡنِ وَأَهۡلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ مِنۡهُمۡۖ وَلَا تُخَٰطِبۡنِي فِي ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓاْ إِنَّهُم مُّغۡرَقُونَ ﴿٢٧﴾

Faawhayna ilayhi ani isnaʿi alfulka biaʿyunina wawahyina faitha jaa amruna wafara alttannooru faosluk feeha min kullin zawjayni ithnayni waahlaka illa man sabaqa ʿalayhi alqawlu minhum wala tukhatibnee fee allatheena thalamoo innahum mughraqoona

So We inspired to him, "Construct the ship under Our observation, and Our inspiration, and when Our command comes and the oven overflows, put into the ship from each [creature] two mates and your family, except those for whom the decree [of destruction] has proceeded. And do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are to be drowned

فَإِذَا ٱسۡتَوَيۡتَ أَنتَ وَمَن مَّعَكَ عَلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ فَقُلِ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي نَجَّىٰنَا مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ﴿٢٨﴾

Faitha istawayta anta waman maʿaka ʿala alfulki faquli alhamdu lillahi allathee najjana mina alqawmi alththalimeena

And when you have boarded the ship, you and those with you, then say, 'Praise to Allah who has saved us from the wrongdoing people

Waqul rabbi anzilnee munzalan mubarakan waanta khayru almunzileena

And say, 'My Lord, let me land at a blessed landing place, and You are the best to accommodate [us]

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ وَإِن كُنَّا لَمُبۡتَلِينَ ﴿٣٠﴾

Inna fee thalika laayatin wain kunna lamubtaleena

Indeed in that are signs, and indeed, We are ever testing [Our servants]

ثُمَّ أَنشَأۡنَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ قَرۡنًا ءَاخَرِينَ ﴿٣١﴾

Thumma anshana min baʿdihim qarnan akhareena

Then We produced after them a generation of others

فَأَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِمۡ رَسُولٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥٓۚ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿٣٢﴾

Faarsalna feehim rasoolan minhum ani oʿbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoona

And We sent among them a messenger from themselves, [saying], "Worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him

وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ مِن قَوۡمِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَكَذَّبُواْ بِلِقَآءِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَأَتۡرَفۡنَٰهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُكُمۡ يَأۡكُلُ مِمَّا تَأۡكُلُونَ مِنۡهُ وَيَشۡرَبُ مِمَّا تَشۡرَبُونَ ﴿٣٣﴾

Waqala almalao min qawmihi allatheena kafaroo wakaththaboo biliqai alakhirati waatrafnahum fee alhayati alddunya ma hatha illa basharun mithlukum yakulu mimma takuloona minhu wayashrabu mimma tashraboona

And the eminent among his people who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter while We had given them luxury in the worldly life said, "This is not but a man like yourselves. He eats of that from which you eat and drinks of what you drink

وَلَئِنۡ أَطَعۡتُم بَشَرٗا مِّثۡلَكُمۡ إِنَّكُمۡ إِذٗا لَّخَٰسِرُونَ ﴿٣٤﴾

Walain ataʿtum basharan mithlakum innakum ithan lakhasiroona

And if you should obey a man like yourselves, indeed, you would then be losers

أَيَعِدُكُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ إِذَا مِتُّمۡ وَكُنتُمۡ تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَنَّكُم مُّخۡرَجُونَ ﴿٣٥﴾

Ayaʿidukum annakum itha mittum wakuntum turaban waʿithaman annakum mukhrajoona

Does he promise you that when you have died and become dust and bones that you will be brought forth [once more]

۞هَيۡهَاتَ هَيۡهَاتَ لِمَا تُوعَدُونَ ﴿٣٦﴾

Hayhata hayhata lima tooʿadoona

How far, how far, is that which you are promised

إِنۡ هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا ٱلدُّنۡيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحۡيَا وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَبۡعُوثِينَ ﴿٣٧﴾

In hiya illa hayatuna alddunya namootu wanahya wama nahnu bimabʿootheena

Life is not but our worldly life - we die and live, but we will not be resurrected

إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبٗا وَمَا نَحۡنُ لَهُۥ بِمُؤۡمِنِينَ ﴿٣٨﴾

In huwa illa rajulun iftara ʿala Allahi kathiban wama nahnu lahu bimumineena

He is not but a man who has invented a lie about Allah, and we will not believe him

Qala rabbi onsurnee bima kaththabooni

He said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me

Qala ʿamma qaleelin layusbihunna nadimeena

[Allah] said, "After a little, they will surely become regretful

فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ غُثَآءٗۚ فَبُعۡدٗا لِّلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ﴿٤١﴾

Faakhathathumu alssayhatu bialhaqqi fajaʿalnahum ghuthaan fabuʿdan lilqawmi alththalimeena

So the shriek seized them in truth, and We made them as [plant] stubble. Then away with the wrongdoing people

ثُمَّ أَنشَأۡنَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ قُرُونًا ءَاخَرِينَ ﴿٤٢﴾

Thumma anshana min baʿdihim quroonan akhareena

Then We produced after them other generations

مَا تَسۡبِقُ مِنۡ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ ﴿٤٣﴾

Ma tasbiqu min ommatin ajalaha wama yastakhiroona

No nation will precede its time [of termination], nor will they remain [thereafter]

ثُمَّ أَرۡسَلۡنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتۡرَاۖ كُلَّ مَا جَآءَ أُمَّةٗ رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُۖ فَأَتۡبَعۡنَا بَعۡضَهُم بَعۡضٗا وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ أَحَادِيثَۚ فَبُعۡدٗا لِّقَوۡمٖ لَّا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ﴿٤٤﴾

Thumma arsalna rusulana tatra kulla ma jaa ommatan rasooluha kaththaboohu faatbaʿna baʿdahum baʿdan wajaʿalnahum ahadeetha fabuʿdan liqawmin la yuminoona

Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation its messenger, they denied him, so We made them follow one another [to destruction], and We made them narrations. So away with a people who do not believe

ثُمَّ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَأَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَسُلۡطَٰنٖ مُّبِينٍ ﴿٤٥﴾

Thumma arsalna moosa waakhahu haroona biayatina wasultanin mubeenin

Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our signs and a clear authority

إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَمَلَإِيْهِۦ فَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ وَكَانُواْ قَوۡمًا عَالِينَ ﴿٤٦﴾

Ila firʿawna wamalaihi faistakbaroo wakanoo qawman ʿaleena

To Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were arrogant and were a haughty people

Faqaloo anuminu libasharayni mithlina waqawmuhuma lana ʿabidoona

They said, "Should we believe two men like ourselves while their people are for us in servitude

Fakaththaboohuma fakanoo mina almuhlakeena

Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba laʿallahum yahtadoona

And We certainly gave Moses the Scripture that perhaps they would be guided

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ وَأُمَّهُۥٓ ءَايَةٗ وَءَاوَيۡنَٰهُمَآ إِلَىٰ رَبۡوَةٖ ذَاتِ قَرَارٖ وَمَعِينٖ ﴿٥٠﴾

Wajaʿalna ibna maryama waommahu ayatan waawaynahuma ila rabwatin thati qararin wamaʿeenin

And We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign and sheltered them within a high ground having level [areas] and flowing water

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرُّسُلُ كُلُواْ مِنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ وَٱعۡمَلُواْ صَٰلِحًاۖ إِنِّي بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ عَلِيمٞ ﴿٥١﴾

Ya ayyuha alrrusulu kuloo mina alttayyibati waiʿmaloo salihan innee bima taʿmaloona ʿaleemun

[Allah said], "O messengers, eat from the good foods and work righteousness. Indeed, I, of what you do, am Knowing

Nusariʿu lahum fee alkhayrati bal la yashʿuroona

Inna allatheena hum min khashyati rabbihim mushfiqoona

Wala nukallifu nafsan illa wusʿaha waladayna kitabun yantiqu bialhaqqi wahum la yuthlamoona

بَلۡ قُلُوبُهُمۡ فِي غَمۡرَةٖ مِّنۡ هَٰذَا وَلَهُمۡ أَعۡمَٰلٞ مِّن دُونِ ذَٰلِكَ هُمۡ لَهَا عَٰمِلُونَ ﴿٦٣﴾

Bal quloobuhum fee ghamratin min hatha walahum aʿmalun min dooni thalika hum laha ʿamiloona

But their hearts are covered with confusion over this, and they have [evil] deeds besides disbelief which they are doing

Hatta itha akhathna mutrafeehim bialʿathabi itha hum yajaroona

Until when We seize their affluent ones with punishment, at once they are crying [to Allah] for help

Afalam yaddabbaroo alqawla am jaahum ma lam yati abaahumu alawwaleena

Then have they not reflected over the Qur'an, or has there come to them that which had not come to their forefathers

أَمۡ لَمۡ يَعۡرِفُواْ رَسُولَهُمۡ فَهُمۡ لَهُۥ مُنكِرُونَ ﴿٦٩﴾

Am lam yaʿrifoo rasoolahum fahum lahu munkiroona

Or did they not know their Messenger, so they are toward him disacknowledging

أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ بِهِۦ جِنَّةُۢۚ بَلۡ جَآءَهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لِلۡحَقِّ كَٰرِهُونَ ﴿٧٠﴾

Am yaqooloona bihi jinnatun bal jaahum bialhaqqi waaktharuhum lilhaqqi karihoona

Or do they say, "In him is madness?" Rather, he brought them the truth, but most of them, to the truth, are averse

وَلَوِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلۡحَقُّ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ لَفَسَدَتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّۚ بَلۡ أَتَيۡنَٰهُم بِذِكۡرِهِمۡ فَهُمۡ عَن ذِكۡرِهِم مُّعۡرِضُونَ ﴿٧١﴾

Walawi ittabaʿa alhaqqu ahwaahum lafasadati alssamawatu waalardu waman feehinna bal ataynahum bithikrihim fahum ʿan thikrihim muʿridoona

But if the Truth had followed their inclinations, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been ruined. Rather, We have brought them their message, but they, from their message, are turning away

أَمۡ تَسۡـَٔلُهُمۡ خَرۡجٗا فَخَرَاجُ رَبِّكَ خَيۡرٞۖ وَهُوَ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّـٰزِقِينَ ﴿٧٢﴾

Am tasaluhum kharjan fakharaju rabbika khayrun wahuwa khayru alrraziqeena

Or do you, [O Muhammad], ask them for payment? But the reward of your Lord is best, and He is the best of providers

وَإِنَّكَ لَتَدۡعُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ ﴿٧٣﴾

Wainnaka latadʿoohum ila siratin mustaqeemin

And indeed, you invite them to a straight path

Wainna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati ʿani alssirati lanakiboona

But indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are deviating from the path

۞وَلَوۡ رَحِمۡنَٰهُمۡ وَكَشَفۡنَا مَا بِهِم مِّن ضُرّٖ لَّلَجُّواْ فِي طُغۡيَٰنِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ ﴿٧٥﴾

Walaw rahimnahum wakashafna ma bihim min durrin lalajjoo fee tughyanihim yaʿmahoona

And even if We gave them mercy and removed what was upon them of affliction, they would persist in their transgression, wandering blindly

وَلَقَدۡ أَخَذۡنَٰهُم بِٱلۡعَذَابِ فَمَا ٱسۡتَكَانُواْ لِرَبِّهِمۡ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ ﴿٧٦﴾

Walaqad akhathnahum bialʿathabi fama istakanoo lirabbihim wama yatadarraʿoona

And We had gripped them with suffering [as a warning], but they did not yield to their Lord, nor did they humbly supplicate, [and will continue thus]

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَتَحۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم بَابٗا ذَا عَذَابٖ شَدِيدٍ إِذَا هُمۡ فِيهِ مُبۡلِسُونَ ﴿٧٧﴾

Hatta itha fatahna ʿalayhim baban tha ʿathabin shadeedin itha hum feehi mublisoona

Until when We have opened before them a door of severe punishment, immediately they will be therein in despair

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنشَأَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرَ وَٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةَۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَشۡكُرُونَ ﴿٧٨﴾

Wahuwa allathee anshaa lakumu alssamʿa waalabsara waalafidata qaleelan ma tashkuroona

And it is He who produced for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي ذَرَأَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُحۡشَرُونَ ﴿٧٩﴾

Wahuwa allathee tharaakum fee alardi wailayhi tuhsharoona

And it is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُ وَلَهُ ٱخۡتِلَٰفُ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ ﴿٨٠﴾

Wahuwa allathee yuhyee wayumeetu walahu ikhtilafu allayli waalnnahari afala taʿqiloona

And it is He who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of the night and the day. Then will you not reason

بَلۡ قَالُواْ مِثۡلَ مَا قَالَ ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ ﴿٨١﴾

Bal qaloo mithla ma qala alawwaloona

Rather, they say like what the former peoples said

Qaloo aitha mitna wakunna turaban waʿithaman ainna lamabʿoothoona

They said, "When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected

Laqad wuʿidna nahnu waabaona hatha min qablu in hatha illa asateeru alawwaleena

We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples

Bal ataynahum bialhaqqi wainnahum lakathiboona

Rather, We have brought them the truth, and indeed they are liars

Allah has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to overcome others. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him]
