Surah Az-Zukhruf

حمٓ ﴿١﴾

Hameem

Ha, Meem

وَٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ ﴿٢﴾

Waalkitabi almubeeni

By the clear Book

إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰهُ قُرۡءَٰنًا عَرَبِيّٗا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ ﴿٣﴾

Inna jaʿalnahu quranan ʿarabiyyan laʿallakum taʿqiloona

Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand

وَإِنَّهُۥ فِيٓ أُمِّ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَدَيۡنَا لَعَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ ﴿٤﴾

Wainnahu fee ommi alkitabi ladayna laʿaliyyun hakeemun

And indeed it is, in the Mother of the Book with Us, exalted and full of wisdom

أَفَنَضۡرِبُ عَنكُمُ ٱلذِّكۡرَ صَفۡحًا أَن كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمٗا مُّسۡرِفِينَ ﴿٥﴾

Afanadribu ʿankumu alththikra safhan an kuntum qawman musrifeena

Then should We turn the message away, disregarding you, because you are a transgressing people

وَكَمۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن نَّبِيّٖ فِي ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ﴿٦﴾

Wakam arsalna min nabiyyin fee alawwaleena

And how many a prophet We sent among the former peoples

وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن نَّبِيٍّ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ ﴿٧﴾

Wama yateehim min nabiyyin illa kanoo bihi yastahzioona

But there would not come to them a prophet except that they used to ridicule him

فَأَهۡلَكۡنَآ أَشَدَّ مِنۡهُم بَطۡشٗا وَمَضَىٰ مَثَلُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ﴿٨﴾

Faahlakna ashadda minhum batshan wamada mathalu alawwaleena

And We destroyed greater than them in [striking] power, and the example of the former peoples has preceded

وَلَئِن سَأَلۡتَهُم مَّنۡ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ﴿٩﴾

Walain saaltahum man khalaqa alssamawati waalarda layaqoolunna khalaqahunna alʿazeezu alʿaleemu

And if you should ask them, "Who has created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "They were created by the Exalted in Might, the Knowing

ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَهۡدٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمۡ فِيهَا سُبُلٗا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ ﴿١٠﴾

Allathee jaʿala lakumu alarda mahdan wajaʿala lakum feeha subulan laʿallakum tahtadoona

[The one] who has made for you the earth a bed and made for you upon it roads that you might be guided

وَٱلَّذِي نَزَّلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءَۢ بِقَدَرٖ فَأَنشَرۡنَا بِهِۦ بَلۡدَةٗ مَّيۡتٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ تُخۡرَجُونَ ﴿١١﴾

Waallathee nazzala mina alssamai maan biqadarin faansharna bihi baldatan maytan kathalika tukhrajoona

And who sends down rain from the sky in measured amounts, and We revive thereby a dead land - thus will you be brought forth

وَٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلۡأَزۡوَٰجَ كُلَّهَا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡفُلۡكِ وَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ مَا تَرۡكَبُونَ ﴿١٢﴾

Waallathee khalaqa alazwaja kullaha wajaʿala lakum mina alfulki waalanʿami ma tarkaboona

And who created the species, all of them, and has made for you of ships and animals those which you mount

لِتَسۡتَوُۥاْ عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِۦ ثُمَّ تَذۡكُرُواْ نِعۡمَةَ رَبِّكُمۡ إِذَا ٱسۡتَوَيۡتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ وَتَقُولُواْ سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱلَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُۥ مُقۡرِنِينَ ﴿١٣﴾

Litastawoo ʿala thuhoorihi thumma tathkuroo niʿmata rabbikum itha istawaytum ʿalayhi wataqooloo subhana allathee sakhkhara lana hatha wama kunna lahu muqrineena

That you may settle yourselves upon their backs and then remember the favor of your Lord when you have settled upon them and say. "Exalted is He who has subjected this to us, and we could not have [otherwise] subdued it

وَإِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ ﴿١٤﴾

Wainna ila rabbina lamunqaliboona

And indeed we, to our Lord, will [surely] return

وَجَعَلُواْ لَهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦ جُزۡءًاۚ إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ لَكَفُورٞ مُّبِينٌ ﴿١٥﴾

Wajaʿaloo lahu min ʿibadihi juzan inna alinsana lakafoorun mubeenun

But they have attributed to Him from His servants a portion. Indeed, man is clearly ungrateful

أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ مِمَّا يَخۡلُقُ بَنَاتٖ وَأَصۡفَىٰكُم بِٱلۡبَنِينَ ﴿١٦﴾

Ami ittakhatha mimma yakhluqu banatin waasfakum bialbaneena

Or has He taken, out of what He has created, daughters and chosen you for [having] sons

وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مَثَلٗا ظَلَّ وَجۡهُهُۥ مُسۡوَدّٗا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ ﴿١٧﴾

Waitha bushshira ahaduhum bima daraba lilrrahmani mathalan thalla wajhuhu muswaddan wahuwa katheemun

And when one of them is given good tidings of that which he attributes to the Most Merciful in comparison, his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief

أَوَمَن يُنَشَّؤُاْ فِي ٱلۡحِلۡيَةِ وَهُوَ فِي ٱلۡخِصَامِ غَيۡرُ مُبِينٖ ﴿١٨﴾

Awaman yunashshao fee alhilyati wahuwa fee alkhisami ghayru mubeenin

So is one brought up in ornaments while being during conflict unevident [attributed to Allah]

وَجَعَلُواْ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عِبَٰدُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ إِنَٰثًاۚ أَشَهِدُواْ خَلۡقَهُمۡۚ سَتُكۡتَبُ شَهَٰدَتُهُمۡ وَيُسۡـَٔلُونَ ﴿١٩﴾

Wajaʿaloo almalaikata allatheena hum ʿibadu alrrahmani inathan ashahidoo khalqahum satuktabu shahadatuhum wayusaloona

And they have made the angels, who are servants of the Most Merciful, females. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be recorded, and they will be questioned

وَقَالُواْ لَوۡ شَآءَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ مَا عَبَدۡنَٰهُمۗ مَّا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍۖ إِنۡ هُمۡ إِلَّا يَخۡرُصُونَ ﴿٢٠﴾

Waqaloo law shaa alrrahmanu ma ʿabadnahum ma lahum bithalika min ʿilmin in hum illa yakhrusoona

And they said, "If the Most Merciful had willed, we would not have worshipped them." They have of that no knowledge. They are not but falsifying

أَمۡ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمۡ كِتَٰبٗا مِّن قَبۡلِهِۦ فَهُم بِهِۦ مُسۡتَمۡسِكُونَ ﴿٢١﴾

Am ataynahum kitaban min qablihi fahum bihi mustamsikoona

Or have We given them a book before the Qur'an to which they are adhering

بَلۡ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا وَجَدۡنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٖ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم مُّهۡتَدُونَ ﴿٢٢﴾

Bal qaloo inna wajadna abaana ʿala ommatin wainna ʿala atharihim muhtadoona

Rather, they say, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are in their footsteps [rightly] guided

وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ فِي قَرۡيَةٖ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتۡرَفُوهَآ إِنَّا وَجَدۡنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٖ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم مُّقۡتَدُونَ ﴿٢٣﴾

Wakathalika ma arsalna min qablika fee qaryatin min natheerin illa qala mutrafooha inna wajadna abaana ʿala ommatin wainna ʿala atharihim muqtadoona

And similarly, We did not send before you any warner into a city except that its affluent said, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are, in their footsteps, following

۞قَٰلَ أَوَلَوۡ جِئۡتُكُم بِأَهۡدَىٰ مِمَّا وَجَدتُّمۡ عَلَيۡهِ ءَابَآءَكُمۡۖ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا بِمَآ أُرۡسِلۡتُم بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ ﴿٢٤﴾

Qala awalaw jitukum biahda mimma wajadtum ʿalayhi abaakum qaloo inna bima orsiltum bihi kafiroona

[Each warner] said, "Even if I brought you better guidance than that [religion] upon which you found your fathers?" They said, "Indeed we, in that with which you were sent, are disbelievers

فَٱنتَقَمۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡۖ فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿٢٥﴾

Faintaqamna minhum faonthur kayfa kana ʿaqibatu almukaththibeena

So we took retribution from them; then see how was the end of the deniers

وَإِذۡ قَالَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦٓ إِنَّنِي بَرَآءٞ مِّمَّا تَعۡبُدُونَ ﴿٢٦﴾

Waith qala ibraheemu liabeehi waqawmihi innanee baraon mimma taʿbudoona

And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham said to his father and his people, "Indeed, I am disassociated from that which you worship

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِي فَطَرَنِي فَإِنَّهُۥ سَيَهۡدِينِ ﴿٢٧﴾

Illa allathee fataranee fainnahu sayahdeeni

Except for He who created me; and indeed, He will guide me

وَجَعَلَهَا كَلِمَةَۢ بَاقِيَةٗ فِي عَقِبِهِۦ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ ﴿٢٨﴾

Wajaʿalaha kalimatan baqiyatan fee ʿaqibihi laʿallahum yarjiʿoona

And he made it a word remaining among his descendants that they might return [to it]

بَلۡ مَتَّعۡتُ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَرَسُولٞ مُّبِينٞ ﴿٢٩﴾

Bal mattaʿtu haolai waabaahum hatta jaahumu alhaqqu warasoolun mubeenun

However, I gave enjoyment to these [people of Makkah] and their fathers until there came to them the truth and a clear Messenger

وَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡحَقُّ قَالُواْ هَٰذَا سِحۡرٞ وَإِنَّا بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ ﴿٣٠﴾

Walamma jaahumu alhaqqu qaloo hatha sihrun wainna bihi kafiroona

But when the truth came to them, they said, "This is magic, and indeed we are, concerning it, disbelievers

وَقَالُواْ لَوۡلَا نُزِّلَ هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡقَرۡيَتَيۡنِ عَظِيمٍ ﴿٣١﴾

Waqaloo lawla nuzzila hatha alquranu ʿala rajulin mina alqaryatayni ʿatheemun

And they said, "Why was this Qur'an not sent down upon a great man from [one of] the two cities

أَهُمۡ يَقۡسِمُونَ رَحۡمَتَ رَبِّكَۚ نَحۡنُ قَسَمۡنَا بَيۡنَهُم مَّعِيشَتَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۚ وَرَفَعۡنَا بَعۡضَهُمۡ فَوۡقَ بَعۡضٖ دَرَجَٰتٖ لِّيَتَّخِذَ بَعۡضُهُم بَعۡضٗا سُخۡرِيّٗاۗ وَرَحۡمَتُ رَبِّكَ خَيۡرٞ مِّمَّا يَجۡمَعُونَ ﴿٣٢﴾

Ahum yaqsimoona rahmata rabbika nahnu qasamna baynahum maʿeeshatahum fee alhayati alddunya warafaʿna baʿdahum fawqa baʿdin darajatin liyattakhitha baʿduhum baʿdan sukhriyyan warahmatu rabbika khayrun mimma yajmaʿoona

Do they distribute the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of this world and have raised some of them above others in degrees [of rank] that they may make use of one another for service. But the mercy of your Lord is better than whatever they accumulate

وَلَوۡلَآ أَن يَكُونَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ لَّجَعَلۡنَا لِمَن يَكۡفُرُ بِٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ لِبُيُوتِهِمۡ سُقُفٗا مِّن فِضَّةٖ وَمَعَارِجَ عَلَيۡهَا يَظۡهَرُونَ ﴿٣٣﴾

Walawla an yakoona alnnasu ommatan wahidatan lajaʿalna liman yakfuru bialrrahmani libuyootihim suqufan min fiddatin wamaʿarija ʿalayha yathharoona

And if it were not that the people would become one community [of disbelievers], We would have made for those who disbelieve in the Most Merciful - for their houses - ceilings and stairways of silver upon which to mount

وَلِبُيُوتِهِمۡ أَبۡوَٰبٗا وَسُرُرًا عَلَيۡهَا يَتَّكِـُٔونَ ﴿٣٤﴾

Walibuyootihim abwaban wasururan ʿalayha yattakioona

And for their houses - doors and couches [of silver] upon which to recline

وَزُخۡرُفٗاۚ وَإِن كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَٰعُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۚ وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ ﴿٣٥﴾

Wazukhrufan wain kullu thalika lamma mataʿu alhayati alddunya waalakhiratu ʿinda rabbika lilmuttaqeena

And gold ornament. But all that is not but the enjoyment of worldly life. And the Hereafter with your Lord is for the righteous

وَمَن يَعۡشُ عَن ذِكۡرِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ نُقَيِّضۡ لَهُۥ شَيۡطَٰنٗا فَهُوَ لَهُۥ قَرِينٞ ﴿٣٦﴾

Waman yaʿshu ʿan thikri alrrahmani nuqayyid lahu shaytanan fahuwa lahu qareenun

And whoever is blinded from remembrance of the Most Merciful - We appoint for him a devil, and he is to him a companion

وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَيَصُدُّونَهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَيَحۡسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهۡتَدُونَ ﴿٣٧﴾

Wainnahum layasuddoonahum ʿani alssabeeli wayahsaboona annahum muhtadoona

And indeed, the devils avert them from the way [of guidance] while they think that they are [rightly] guided

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَنَا قَالَ يَٰلَيۡتَ بَيۡنِي وَبَيۡنَكَ بُعۡدَ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقَيۡنِ فَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡقَرِينُ ﴿٣٨﴾

Hatta itha jaana qala ya layta baynee wabaynaka buʿda almashriqayni fabisa alqareenu

Until, when he comes to Us [at Judgement], he says [to his companion], "Oh, I wish there was between me and you the distance between the east and west - how wretched a companion

وَلَن يَنفَعَكُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ إِذ ظَّلَمۡتُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُونَ ﴿٣٩﴾

Walan yanfaʿakumu alyawma ith thalamtum annakum fee alʿathabi mushtarikoona

And never will it benefit you that Day, when you have wronged, that you are [all] sharing in the punishment

أَفَأَنتَ تُسۡمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ أَوۡ تَهۡدِي ٱلۡعُمۡيَ وَمَن كَانَ فِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٖ ﴿٤٠﴾

Afaanta tusmiʿu alssumma aw tahdee alʿumya waman kana fee dalalin mubeenin

Then will you make the deaf hear, [O Muhammad], or guide the blind or he who is in clear error

فَإِمَّا نَذۡهَبَنَّ بِكَ فَإِنَّا مِنۡهُم مُّنتَقِمُونَ ﴿٤١﴾

Faimma nathhabanna bika fainna minhum muntaqimoona

And whether [or not] We take you away [in death], indeed, We will take retribution upon them

أَوۡ نُرِيَنَّكَ ٱلَّذِي وَعَدۡنَٰهُمۡ فَإِنَّا عَلَيۡهِم مُّقۡتَدِرُونَ ﴿٤٢﴾

Aw nuriyannaka allathee waʿadnahum fainna ʿalayhim muqtadiroona

Or whether [or not] We show you that which We have promised them, indeed, We are Perfect in Ability

فَٱسۡتَمۡسِكۡ بِٱلَّذِيٓ أُوحِيَ إِلَيۡكَۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ ﴿٤٣﴾

Faistamsik biallathee oohiya ilayka innaka ʿala siratin mustaqeemin

So adhere to that which is revealed to you. Indeed, you are on a straight path

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَذِكۡرٞ لَّكَ وَلِقَوۡمِكَۖ وَسَوۡفَ تُسۡـَٔلُونَ ﴿٤٤﴾

Wainnahu lathikrun laka waliqawmika wasawfa tusaloona

And indeed, it is a remembrance for you and your people, and you [all] are going to be questioned

وَسۡـَٔلۡ مَنۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ مِن رُّسُلِنَآ أَجَعَلۡنَا مِن دُونِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ءَالِهَةٗ يُعۡبَدُونَ ﴿٤٥﴾

Waisal man arsalna min qablika min rusulina ajaʿalna min dooni alrrahmani alihatan yuʿbadoona

And ask those We sent before you of Our messengers; have We made besides the Most Merciful deities to be worshipped

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَمَلَإِيْهِۦ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿٤٦﴾

Walaqad arsalna moosa biayatina ila firʿawna wamalaihi faqala innee rasoolu rabbi alʿalameena

And certainly did We send Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, and he said, "Indeed, I am the messenger of the Lord of the worlds

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِذَا هُم مِّنۡهَا يَضۡحَكُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾

Falamma jaahum biayatina itha hum minha yadhakoona

But when he brought them Our signs, at once they laughed at them

وَمَا نُرِيهِم مِّنۡ ءَايَةٍ إِلَّا هِيَ أَكۡبَرُ مِنۡ أُخۡتِهَاۖ وَأَخَذۡنَٰهُم بِٱلۡعَذَابِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ ﴿٤٨﴾

Wama nureehim min ayatin illa hiya akbaru min okhtiha waakhathnahum bialʿathabi laʿallahum yarjiʿoona

And We showed them not a sign except that it was greater than its sister, and We seized them with affliction that perhaps they might return [to faith]

وَقَالُواْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَ ٱلسَّاحِرُ ٱدۡعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ إِنَّنَا لَمُهۡتَدُونَ ﴿٤٩﴾

Waqaloo ya ayyuha alsahiru odʿu lana rabbaka bima ʿahida ʿindaka innana lamuhtadoona

And they said [to Moses], "O magician, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. Indeed, we will be guided

فَلَمَّا كَشَفۡنَا عَنۡهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابَ إِذَا هُمۡ يَنكُثُونَ ﴿٥٠﴾

Falamma kashafna ʿanhumu alʿathaba itha hum yankuthoona

But when We removed from them the affliction, at once they broke their word

وَنَادَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِي قَوۡمِهِۦ قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ أَلَيۡسَ لِي مُلۡكُ مِصۡرَ وَهَٰذِهِ ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِيٓۚ أَفَلَا تُبۡصِرُونَ ﴿٥١﴾

Wanada firʿawnu fee qawmihi qala ya qawmi alaysa lee mulku misra wahathihi alanharu tajree min tahtee afala tubsiroona

And Pharaoh called out among his people; he said, "O my people, does not the kingdom of Egypt belong to me, and these rivers flowing beneath me; then do you not see

أَمۡ أَنَا۠ خَيۡرٞ مِّنۡ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي هُوَ مَهِينٞ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُبِينُ ﴿٥٢﴾

Am ana khayrun min hatha allathee huwa maheenun wala yakadu yubeenu

Or am I [not] better than this one who is insignificant and hardly makes himself clear

فَلَوۡلَآ أُلۡقِيَ عَلَيۡهِ أَسۡوِرَةٞ مِّن ذَهَبٍ أَوۡ جَآءَ مَعَهُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ مُقۡتَرِنِينَ ﴿٥٣﴾

Falawla olqiya ʿalayhi aswiratun min thahabin aw jaa maʿahu almalaikatu muqtarineena

Then why have there not been placed upon him bracelets of gold or come with him the angels in conjunction

فَٱسۡتَخَفَّ قَوۡمَهُۥ فَأَطَاعُوهُۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَوۡمٗا فَٰسِقِينَ ﴿٥٤﴾

Faistakhaffa qawmahu faataʿoohu innahum kanoo qawman fasiqeena

So he bluffed his people, and they obeyed him. Indeed, they were [themselves] a people defiantly disobedient [of Allah]

فَلَمَّآ ءَاسَفُونَا ٱنتَقَمۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡ فَأَغۡرَقۡنَٰهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ ﴿٥٥﴾

Falamma asafoona intaqamna minhum faaghraqnahum ajmaʿeena

And when they angered Us, We took retribution from them and drowned them all

فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ سَلَفٗا وَمَثَلٗا لِّلۡأٓخِرِينَ ﴿٥٦﴾

Fajaʿalnahum salafan wamathalan lilakhireena

And We made them a precedent and an example for the later peoples

۞وَلَمَّا ضُرِبَ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ مَثَلًا إِذَا قَوۡمُكَ مِنۡهُ يَصِدُّونَ ﴿٥٧﴾

Walamma duriba ibnu maryama mathalan itha qawmuka minhu yasiddoona

And when the son of Mary was presented as an example, immediately your people laughed aloud

وَقَالُوٓاْ ءَأَٰلِهَتُنَا خَيۡرٌ أَمۡ هُوَۚ مَا ضَرَبُوهُ لَكَ إِلَّا جَدَلَۢاۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمٌ خَصِمُونَ ﴿٥٨﴾

Waqaloo aalihatuna khayrun am huwa ma daraboohu laka illa jadalan bal hum qawmun khasimoona

And they said, "Are your gods better, or is he?" They did not present the comparison except for [mere] argument. But, [in fact], they are a people prone to dispute

إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا عَبۡدٌ أَنۡعَمۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ مَثَلٗا لِّبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ ﴿٥٩﴾

In huwa illa ʿabdun anʿamna ʿalayhi wajaʿalnahu mathalan libanee israeela

Jesus was not but a servant upon whom We bestowed favor, and We made him an example for the Children of Israel

وَلَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلۡنَا مِنكُم مَّلَـٰٓئِكَةٗ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ يَخۡلُفُونَ ﴿٦٠﴾

Walaw nashao lajaʿalna minkum malaikatan fee alardi yakhlufoona

And if We willed, We could have made [instead] of you angels succeeding [one another] on the earth

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَعِلۡمٞ لِّلسَّاعَةِ فَلَا تَمۡتَرُنَّ بِهَا وَٱتَّبِعُونِۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٞ مُّسۡتَقِيمٞ ﴿٦١﴾

Wainnahu laʿilmun lilssaʿati fala tamtarunna biha waittabiʿooni hatha siratun mustaqeemun

And indeed, Jesus will be [a sign for] knowledge of the Hour, so be not in doubt of it, and follow Me. This is a straight path

وَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمۡ عَدُوّٞ مُّبِينٞ ﴿٦٢﴾

Wala yasuddannakumu alshshaytanu innahu lakum ʿaduwwun mubeenun

And never let Satan avert you. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy
