Alif-Lam-Ra. Tilka ayatul-kitabil-hakim.

Alif-Lam-Ra. These are the verses of the Wise Book.

Akana linnasi ‘ajaban an awhayna ila rajulim minhum an andhirin-nasa wa bashshiril-ladhina amanu anna lahum qadama sidqin ‘inda rabbihim. Qalal-kafiruna inna hadha lasahirum mubin.

Is it astonishing to people that We revealed to a man from among them, “Warn mankind and give glad news to those who believe that they have a firm position of truth with their Lord”? The disbelievers said, “Indeed, this is clearly a magician.”

Inna rabbakumullahu alladhi khalaqas-samawati wal-arda fi sittati ayyamin thummastawa ‘alal-‘arsh. Yudabbirul-amr. Ma min shafi‘in illa mim ba‘di idhnih. Dhalikumullahu rabbukum fa‘buduh. Afala tadhakkarun.

Indeed, your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then rose over the Throne. He manages every affair. There is no intercessor except after His permission. That is Allah, your Lord, so worship Him. Will you not then remember?

Ilayhi marji‘ukum jami‘a. Wa‘dallahi haqqa. Innahu yabda’ul-khalqa thumma yu‘iduhu liyajziyal-ladhina amanu wa ‘amilus-salihati bil-qist. Walladhina kafaru lahum sharabum min hamimin wa ‘adhabun alimun bima kanu yakfurun.

To Him is your return, all together. Allah’s promise is true. Indeed, He begins creation, then repeats it, so He may reward those who believe and do righteous deeds with justice. But those who disbelieve will have a drink of boiling water and a painful punishment because they used to disbelieve.

Huwal-ladhi ja‘alash-shamsa diya’aw wal-qamara nuraw wa qaddarahu manazila lita‘lamu ‘adadas-sinina wal-hisab. Ma khalaqallahu dhalika illa bil-haqq. Yufassilul-ayati liqawmin ya‘lamun.

He is the One who made the sun a shining light and the moon a reflected light, and determined for it phases so you may know the number of years and calculation. Allah did not create that except with truth. He explains the signs in detail for people who know.

Inna fikhtilafil-layli wan-nahari wa ma khalaqallahu fis-samawati wal-ardi la ayatil liqawmin yattaqun.

Indeed, in the alternation of the night and the day, and in what Allah created in the heavens and the earth, there are surely signs for people who have taqwa.

Innal-ladhina la yarjuna liqa’ana wa radu bil-hayatid-dunya watma’annu biha walladhina hum ‘an ayatina ghafilun.

Indeed, those who do not expect the meeting with Us, who are pleased with the worldly life and feel secure in it, and those who are heedless of Our signs.

Ula’ika ma’wahumun-naru bima kanu yaksibun.

Those are the ones whose refuge is the Fire because of what they used to earn.

Innal-ladhina amanu wa ‘amilus-salihati yahdihim rabbuhum bi imanihim. Tajri min tahtihimul-anharu fi jannatin-na‘im.

Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds, their Lord will guide them because of their faith. Rivers will flow beneath them in Gardens of delight.

Da‘wahum fiha subhanakallahumma wa tahiyyatuhum fiha salam. Wa akhiru da‘wahum anil-hamdu lillahi rabbil-‘alamin.

Their call therein will be, “Glory be to You, O Allah,” and their greeting therein will be, “Peace.” And the last of their call will be, “All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds.”

Wa law yu‘ajjilullahu linnasish-sharrasti‘jalahum bil-khayri laqudiya ilayhim ajaluhum. Fanadharul-ladhina la yarjuna liqa’ana fi tughyanihim ya‘mahun.

If Allah were to hasten evil for people as they hasten good, their term would already be ended for them. But We leave those who do not expect the meeting with Us wandering blindly in their rebellion.

Wa idha massal-insanad-durru da‘ana lijanbihi aw qa‘idan aw qa’ima. Falamma kashafna ‘anhu durrahu marra ka’al lam yad‘una ila durrim massah. Kadhalika zuyyina lil-musrifina ma kanu ya‘malun.

When harm touches a person, he calls upon Us lying on his side, sitting, or standing. But when We remove his harm, he passes on as if he had never called upon Us for the harm that touched him. In this way, what they used to do is made attractive to the transgressors.

Wa laqad ahlaknal-quruna min qablikum lamma zalamu wa ja’athum rusuluhum bil-bayyinati wa ma kanu liyu’minu. Kadhalika najzil-qawmal-mujrimin.

We certainly destroyed generations before you when they did wrong, and their messengers came to them with clear proofs, but they were not going to believe. In this way We repay the criminal people.

Thumma ja‘alnakum khala’ifa fil-ardi mim ba‘dihim linanzura kayfa ta‘malun.

Then We made you successors on the earth after them so We may see how you will act.

Wa idha tutla ‘alayhim ayatuna bayyinatin qalal-ladhina la yarjuna liqa’ana’ti bi qur’anin ghayri hadha aw baddilh. Qul ma yakunu li an ubaddilahu min tilqa’i nafsi. In attabi‘u illa ma yuha ilayya. Inni akhafu in ‘asaytu rabbi ‘adhaba yawmin ‘azim.

When Our clear verses are recited to them, those who do not expect the meeting with Us say, “Bring a Qur’an other than this, or change it.” Say, “It is not for me to change it on my own. I only follow what is revealed to me. Indeed, I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day.”

Qul law sha’allahu ma talawtuhu ‘alaykum wa la adrakum bih. Faqad labithtu fikum ‘umuram min qablih. Afala ta‘qilun.

Say, “If Allah had willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would He have made it known to you. I had already lived among you for a lifetime before it. Will you not then understand?”

Faman azlamu mimmaniftara ‘alallahi kadhiban aw kadhdhaba bi ayatih. Innahu la yuflihul-mujrimun.

Who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against Allah or denies His verses? Indeed, the criminals will not succeed.

Wa ya‘buduna min dunillahi ma la yadurruhum wa la yanfa‘uhum wa yaquluna ha’ula’i shufa‘a’una ‘indallah. Qul atunabbi’unallaha bima la ya‘lamu fis-samawati wa la fil-ard. Subhanahu wa ta‘ala ‘amma yushrikun.

They worship besides Allah what neither harms them nor benefits them, and they say, “These are our intercessors with Allah.” Say, “Are you informing Allah of something He does not know in the heavens or the earth?” Glory be to Him, and He is far above what they associate with Him.

Wa ma kanan-nasu illa ummataw wahidatan fakhtalafu. Wa lawla kalimatun sabaqat mir rabbika laqudiya baynahum fima fihi yakhtalifun.

Mankind was once only one community, then they differed. If not for a word that had already gone forth from your Lord, judgment would have been made between them regarding what they differed over.

Wa yaquluna lawla unzila ‘alayhi ayatum mir rabbih. Faqul innamal-ghaybu lillahi fantaziru inni ma‘akum minal-muntazirin.

They say, “Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?” Say, “The unseen belongs only to Allah, so wait. Indeed, I am with you among those who wait.”

Wa idha adhaqnan-nasa rahmatam mim ba‘di darra’a massathum idha lahum makrun fi ayatina. Qulillahu asra‘u makra. Inna rusulana yaktubuna ma tamkurun.

When We give people a taste of mercy after hardship has touched them, they suddenly make plots against Our verses. Say, “Allah is swifter in planning.” Indeed, Our messengers record whatever you plot.

Huwalladhi yusayyirukum fil-barri wal-bahr, hatta idha kuntum fil-fulki wa jarayna bihim birihin tayyibatin wa farihu biha ja’atha rihun ‘asifun wa ja’ahumul-mawju min kulli makan, wa zannu annahum uhita bihim, da‘awullaha mukhlisina lahud-din, la’in anjaytana min hadhihi lanakunanna minash-shakirin.

He is the One who carries you through land and sea, until when you are in ships and they sail with them by a pleasant wind and they rejoice in it, a stormy wind comes, and waves come upon them from every side, and they think they are surrounded. They call upon Allah, sincere to Him in religion, “If You save us from this, we will surely be among the grateful.”

Falamma anjahum idha hum yabghuna fil-ardi bighayril-haqq. Ya ayyuhan-nasu innama baghyukum ‘ala anfusikum, mata‘al-hayatid-dunya, thumma ilayna marji‘ukum fanunabbi’ukum bima kuntum ta‘malun.

But when He saves them, they suddenly commit injustice on earth without right. O people, your injustice is only against yourselves, an enjoyment of the worldly life. Then to Us is your return, and We will inform you of what you used to do.

Innama mathalul-hayatid-dunya kama’in anzalnahu minas-sama’i fakhtalata bihi nabatul-ardi mimma ya’kulun-nasu wal-an‘am, hatta idha akhadhatil-ardu zukhrufaha wazzayyanat wa zanna ahluha annahum qadiruna ‘alayha, ataha amruna laylan aw naharan faja‘alnaha hasidan ka’al lam taghna bil-ams. Kadhalika nufassilul-ayati liqawmin yatafakkarun.

The example of the worldly life is only like water We send down from the sky, then the plants of the earth mix with it, from which people and livestock eat. Then, when the earth takes on its beauty and is adorned, and its people think they have power over it, Our command comes to it by night or day, and We make it like harvested stubble, as if it had not flourished yesterday. In this way We explain the signs in detail for people who reflect.

Wallahu yad‘u ila daris-salami wa yahdi may yasha’u ila siratim mustaqim.

Allah calls to the Home of Peace, and He guides whom He wills to a straight path.

Lilladhina ahsanul-husna wa ziyadah. Wa la yarhaqu wujuhahum qataruw wa la dhillah. Ula’ika ashabul-jannah, hum fiha khalidun.

For those who do good is the best reward and more. Neither darkness nor humiliation will cover their faces. Those are the companions of Paradise; they will remain there forever.

Walladhina kasabus-sayyi’ati jaza’u sayyi’atim bimithliha wa tarhaquhum dhillah. Ma lahum minallahi min ‘asim. Ka’annama ughshiyat wujuhuhum qita‘am minal-layli muzlima. Ula’ika ashabun-nar, hum fiha khalidun.

Those who earn evil deeds will have the repayment of an evil deed equal to it, and humiliation will cover them. They will have no protector from Allah. It will be as if their faces are covered with pieces of dark night. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will remain there forever.

Wa yawma nahshuruhum jami‘an thumma naqulu lilladhina ashraku makanakum antum wa shuraka’ukum. Fazayyalna baynahum wa qala shuraka’uhum ma kuntum iyyana ta‘budun.

On the Day We gather them all together, then We will say to those who associated partners, “Stay in your place, you and your partners.” Then We will separate them, and their partners will say, “You were not worshipping us.”

Fakafa billahi shahidam baynana wa baynakum in kunna ‘an ‘ibadatikum laghafilin.

“Allah is sufficient as a witness between us and you. We were certainly unaware of your worship.”

Hunalika tablu kullu nafsim ma aslafat, wa ruddu ilallahi mawlahumul-haqq, wa dalla ‘anhum ma kanu yaftarun.

There, every soul will experience what it sent ahead, and they will be returned to Allah, their true Master. What they used to invent will vanish from them.

Qul man yarzuqukum minas-sama’i wal-ardi ammay yamlikus-sam‘a wal-absara wa may yukhrijul-hayya minal-mayyiti wa yukhrijul-mayyita minal-hayyi wa may yudabbirul-amr. Fasayaqulunallah. Faqul afala tattaqun.

Say, “Who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? Who controls hearing and sight? Who brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living? Who manages every affair?” They will say, “Allah.” So say, “Will you not then have taqwa?”

Fadhalikumullahu rabbukumul-haqq. Famadha ba‘dal-haqqi illad-dalal. Fa anna tusrafun.

That is Allah, your true Lord. So what is there after truth except misguidance? Then how are you turned away?

Kadhalika haqqat kalimatu rabbika ‘alal-ladhina fasaqu annahum la yu’minun.

In this way, the word of your Lord became true against those who defiantly disobeyed: that they will not believe.

Qul hal min shuraka’ikum may yabda’ul-khalqa thumma yu‘iduh. Qulillahu yabda’ul-khalqa thumma yu‘iduh. Fa anna tu’fakun.

Say, “Are there any of your partners who begin creation and then bring it back?” Say, “Allah begins creation and then brings it back.” So how are you turned away?

Qul hal min shuraka’ikum may yahdi ilal-haqq. Qulillahu yahdi lil-haqq. Afamay yahdi ilal-haqqi ahaqqu ay yuttaba‘a amman la yahiddi illa ay yuhda. Fama lakum kayfa tahkumun.

Say, “Are there any of your partners who guide to the truth?” Say, “Allah guides to the truth. Is the One who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed, or one who cannot guide unless he is guided? What is wrong with you? How do you judge?”

Wa ma yattabi‘u aktharuhum illa zanna. Innaz-zanna la yughni minal-haqqi shay’a. Innallaha ‘alimum bima yaf‘alun.

Most of them follow nothing but assumption. Indeed, assumption does not benefit against the truth at all. Allah is All-Knowing of what they do.

Wa ma kana hadhal-qur’anu ay yuftara min dunillahi walakin tasdiqal-ladhi bayna yadayhi wa tafsilal-kitabi la rayba fihi mir rabbil-‘alamin.

This Qur’an could not have been invented apart from Allah. Rather, it confirms what came before it and explains the Book in detail. There is no doubt in it; it is from the Lord of the worlds.

Am yaqulunaf-tarah. Qul fa’tu bisuratim mithlihi wad‘u manistata‘tum min dunillahi in kuntum sadiqin.

Or do they say, “He invented it”? Say, “Then bring a surah like it, and call upon whoever you can besides Allah, if you are truthful.”

Bal kadhdhabu bima lam yuhitu bi ‘ilmihi wa lamma ya’tihim ta’wiluh. Kadhalika kadhdhabal-ladhina min qablihim. Fanzur kayfa kana ‘aqibatuz-zalimin.

Rather, they denied what they did not fully comprehend, and its interpretation had not yet come to them. In this way, those before them also denied. So look at how the end of the wrongdoers was.

Wa minhum may yu’minu bihi wa minhum man la yu’minu bih. Wa rabbuka a‘lamu bil-mufsidin.

Among them are those who believe in it, and among them are those who do not believe in it. Your Lord knows best the corrupters.

Wa in kadhdhabuka faqul li ‘amali wa lakum ‘amalukum. Antum bari’una mimma a‘malu wa ana bari’um mimma ta‘malun.

If they deny you, then say, “For me is my deed, and for you are your deeds. You are free from what I do, and I am free from what you do.”

Wa minhum may yastami‘una ilayk. Afa anta tusmi‘us-summa wa law kanu la ya‘qilun.

Among them are those who listen to you. But can you make the deaf hear, even if they do not understand?

Wa minhum may yanzuru ilayk. Afa anta tahdil-‘umya wa law kanu la yubsirun.

Among them are those who look at you. But can you guide the blind, even if they do not see?

Innallaha la yazlimun-nasa shay’aw wa lakinnan-nasa anfusahum yazlimun.

Indeed, Allah does not wrong people in anything, but people wrong themselves.

Wa yawma yahshuruhum ka’al lam yalbathu illa sa‘atam minan-nahari yata‘arafuna baynahum. Qad khasiral-ladhina kadhdhabu biliqa’illahi wa ma kanu muhtadin.

On the Day He gathers them, it will be as if they had not remained except an hour of the day, recognizing one another. Those who denied the meeting with Allah have certainly lost, and they were not guided.

Wa imma nuriyannaka ba‘dal-ladhi na‘iduhum aw natawaffayannaka fa ilayna marji‘uhum thummallahu shahidun ‘ala ma yaf‘alun.

Whether We show you some of what We promise them, or We take your soul, to Us is their return. Then Allah is Witness over what they do.

Wa likulli ummatir rasul. Fa idha ja’a rasuluhum qudiya baynahum bil-qisti wa hum la yuzlamun.

For every nation there is a messenger. When their messenger comes, judgment is made between them with justice, and they are not wronged.

Wa yaquluna mata hadhal-wa‘du in kuntum sadiqin.

They say, “When will this promise be, if you are truthful?”

Qul la amliku li nafsi darran wa la naf‘an illa ma sha’allah. Likulli ummatin ajal. Idha ja’a ajaluhum fala yasta’khiruna sa‘ataw wa la yastaqdimun.

Say, “I do not possess for myself any harm or benefit except what Allah wills. For every nation there is an appointed term. When their term comes, they cannot delay it by an hour, nor can they bring it forward.”

Qul ara’aytum in atakum ‘adhabuhu bayatan aw naharan madha yasta‘jilu minhul-mujrimun.

Say, “Have you considered: if His punishment comes to you by night or by day, what part of it are the criminals trying to hasten?”

Athumma idha ma waqa‘a amantum bih. Al-ana wa qad kuntum bihi tasta‘jilun.

Is it only when it has actually occurred that you will believe in it? Now? While you used to ask for it to be hastened?

Thumma qila lilladhina zalamu dhuqu ‘adhabal-khuld. Hal tujzawna illa bima kuntum taksibun.

Then it will be said to those who did wrong, “Taste the punishment of eternity. Are you being repaid except for what you used to earn?”

Wa yastanbi’unaka ahaqqun huwa. Qul i wa rabbi innahu lahaqq, wa ma antum bimu‘jizin.

They ask you to inform them, “Is it true?” Say, “Yes, by my Lord, it is surely true, and you cannot escape.”

Wa law anna likulli nafsin zalamat ma fil-ardi laftadat bih. Wa asarrun-nadamata lamma ra’awul-‘adhab. Wa qudiya baynahum bil-qisti wa hum la yuzlamun.

If every soul that did wrong possessed everything on earth, it would offer it as ransom. They will hide regret when they see the punishment. Judgment will be made between them with justice, and they will not be wronged.

Ala inna lillahi ma fis-samawati wal-ard. Ala inna wa‘dallahi haqquw wa lakinna aktharahum la ya‘lamun.

Surely, to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. Surely, Allah’s promise is true, but most of them do not know.

Huwa yuhyi wa yumit wa ilayhi turja‘un.

He gives life and causes death, and to Him you will be returned.

Ya ayyuhan-nasu qad ja’atkum maw‘izatum mir rabbikum wa shifa’ul lima fis-sudur, wa hudaw wa rahmatul lil-mu’minin.

O mankind, there has come to you an instruction from your Lord, a healing for what is in the hearts, and guidance and mercy for the believers.

Qul bifadlillahi wa birahmatihi fabidhalika falyafrahu. Huwa khayrum mimma yajma‘un.

Say, “In Allah’s grace and His mercy, let them rejoice. That is better than what they collect.”

Qul ara’aytum ma anzalallahu lakum mir rizqin faja‘altum minhu haramaw wa halal. Qul allahu adhina lakum am ‘alallahi taftarun.

Say, “Have you considered what Allah has sent down for you of provision, then you made some of it forbidden and lawful?” Say, “Has Allah permitted you, or are you inventing lies against Allah?”

Wa ma zannul-ladhina yaftaruna ‘alallahil-kadhiba yawmal-qiyamah. Innallaha ladhu fadlin ‘alan-nasi wa lakinna aktharahum la yashkurun.

What do those who invent lies against Allah think about the Day of Resurrection? Indeed, Allah is full of bounty toward people, but most of them are not grateful.

Wa ma takunu fi sha’nin wa ma tatlu minhu min qur’anin wa la ta‘maluna min ‘amalin illa kunna ‘alaykum shuhudan idh tufiduna fih. Wa ma ya‘zubu ‘ar rabbika mim mithqali dharratin fil-ardi wa la fis-sama’i wa la asghara min dhalika wa la akbara illa fi kitabin mubin.

You are not engaged in any matter, nor do you recite any part of the Qur’an, nor do you do any deed, except that We are witnesses over you when you are involved in it. Not even the weight of an atom is hidden from your Lord on earth or in heaven, nor anything smaller or greater than that, except that it is in a clear record.

Ala inna awliya’allahi la khawfun ‘alayhim wa la hum yahzanun.

Surely, the close friends of Allah will have no fear upon them, nor will they grieve.

Alladhina amanu wa kanu yattaqun.

Those who believed and were mindful of Allah.

Lahumul-bushra fil-hayatid-dunya wa fil-akhirah. La tabdila likalimatillah. Dhalika huwal-fawzul-‘azim.

For them is glad news in the worldly life and in the Hereafter. There is no change in the words of Allah. That is the great success.

Wa la yahzunka qawluhum. Innal-‘izzata lillahi jami‘a. Huwas-sami‘ul-‘alim.

Do not let their speech grieve you. Indeed, all honour belongs to Allah. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

Ala inna lillahi man fis-samawati wa man fil-ard. Wa ma yattabi‘ul-ladhina yad‘una min dunillahi shuraka’. In yattabi‘una illaz-zanna wa in hum illa yakhrusun.

Surely, to Allah belongs whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth. Those who call upon partners besides Allah follow nothing but assumption, and they do nothing but guess.

Huwalladhi ja‘ala lakumul-layla litaskunu fihi wan-nahara mubsira. Inna fi dhalika la ayatil liqawmin yasma‘un.

He is the One who made the night for you to rest in and the day giving sight. Surely, in that are signs for people who listen.

Qaluttakhadhallahu walada. Subhanah. Huwal-ghaniyy. Lahu ma fis-samawati wa ma fil-ard. In ‘indakum min sultanim bihadha. Ataquluna ‘alallahi ma la ta‘lamun.

They say, “Allah has taken a son.” Glory be to Him. He is the Self-Sufficient. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. You have no authority for this. Do you say about Allah what you do not know?

Qul innal-ladhina yaftaruna ‘alallahil-kadhiba la yuflihun.

Say, “Indeed, those who invent lies against Allah will not succeed.”

Mata‘un fid-dunya thumma ilayna marji‘uhum thumma nudhiquhumul-‘adhabash-shadida bima kanu yakfurun.

A brief enjoyment in this world; then to Us is their return, then We will make them taste the severe punishment because they used to disbelieve.

Watlu ‘alayhim naba’a Nuhin idh qala liqawmihi ya qawmi in kana kabura ‘alaykum maqami wa tadhkiri bi ayatillahi fa ‘alallahi tawakkaltu fa ajmi‘u amrakum wa shuraka’akum thumma la yakun amrukum ‘alaykum ghummah, thumma iqdu ilayya wa la tunzirun.

Recite to them the story of Nuh, when he said to his people, “O my people, if my presence and my reminding you of Allah’s signs have become hard for you, then I have put my trust in Allah. So gather your plan and your partners, then let your plan not be unclear to you. Then carry it out against me and do not give me delay.”

Fa in tawallaytum fama sa’altukum min ajr. In ajriya illa ‘alallah. Wa umirtu an akuna minal-muslimin.

“But if you turn away, then I have not asked you for any reward. My reward is only from Allah, and I have been commanded to be among those who submit.”

Fakadhdhabuhu fanajjaynahu wa man ma‘ahu fil-fulki wa ja‘alnahum khala’ifa wa aghraqnal-ladhina kadhdhabu bi ayatina. Fanzur kayfa kana ‘aqibatul-mundharin.

But they denied him, so We saved him and those with him in the ship, and We made them successors. We drowned those who denied Our signs. So look at how the end of those who were warned was.

Thumma ba‘athna mim ba‘dihi rusulan ila qawmihim faja’uhum bil-bayyinati fama kanu liyu’minu bima kadhdhabu bihi min qabl. Kadhalika natba‘u ‘ala qulubilm-mu‘tadin.

Then after him We sent messengers to their people, and they came to them with clear proofs, but they were not going to believe in what they had denied before. In this way We seal the hearts of the transgressors.

Thumma ba‘athna mim ba‘dihim Musa wa Haruna ila Fir‘awna wa mala’ihi bi ayatina fastakbaru wa kanu qawmam mujrimim.

Then after them We sent Musa and Harun to Pharaoh and his chiefs with Our signs, but they became arrogant and were a criminal people.

Falamma ja’ahumul-haqqu min ‘indina qalu inna hadha lasihrum mubin.

When the truth came to them from Us, they said, “Indeed, this is clear magic.”

Qala Musa ataq uluna lil-haqqi lamma ja’akum. Asihrun hadha wa la yuflihus-sahirun.

Musa said, “Do you say this about the truth when it has come to you? Is this magic? Magicians do not succeed.”

Qalu aji’tana litalfitana ‘amma wajadna ‘alayhi aba’ana wa takuna lakumal-kibriya’u fil-ardi wa ma nahnu lakuma bimu’minin.

They said, “Have you come to turn us away from what we found our fathers upon, and so that greatness in the land may belong to you two? We are not believers in you two.”

Wa qala Fir‘awnu’tuni bikulli sahirin ‘alim.

Pharaoh said, “Bring me every learned magician.”

Falamma ja’as-saharatu qala lahum Musa alqu ma antum mulqun.

When the magicians came, Musa said to them, “Throw down whatever you are going to throw.”

Falamma alqaw qala Musa ma ji’tum bihis-sihr. Innallaha sayubtiluh. Innallaha la yuslihu ‘amalal-mufsidin.

When they had thrown, Musa said, “What you have brought is magic. Allah will surely make it useless. Indeed, Allah does not set right the work of the corrupters.”

Wa yuhiqqullahul-haqqa bikalimatihi wa law karihal-mujrimun.

Allah establishes the truth by His words, even if the criminals dislike it.

Fama amana li Musa illa dhurriyyatum min qawmihi ‘ala khawfim min Fir‘awna wa mala’ihim ay yaftinahum. Wa inna Fir‘awna la‘alin fil-ard, wa innahu laminal-musrifin.

But none believed in Musa except some youths among his people, while fearing Pharaoh and their chiefs, that they would persecute them. Indeed, Pharaoh was arrogant in the land, and he was surely among the transgressors.

Wa qala Musa ya qawmi in kuntum amantum billahi fa ‘alayhi tawakkalu in kuntum muslimin.

Musa said, “O my people, if you have believed in Allah, then put your trust in Him, if you are truly submitting.”

Faqalu ‘alallahi tawakkalna. Rabbana la taj‘alna fitnatal lil-qawmiz-zalimin.

So they said, “Upon Allah we have placed our trust. Our Lord, do not make us a trial for the wrongdoing people.”

Wa najjina birahmatika minal-qawmil-kafirin.

“And save us by Your mercy from the disbelieving people.”

Wa awhayna ila Musa wa akhihi an tabawwa’a liqawmikuma bi Misra buyutaw waj‘alu buyutakum qiblatan wa aqimus-salah. Wa bashshiril-mu’minin.

We revealed to Musa and his brother, “Settle your people in houses in Egypt, make your houses places of prayer, establish prayer, and give glad news to the believers.”

Wa qala Musa rabbana innaka atayta Fir‘awna wa mala’ahu zinataw wa amwalan fil-hayatid-dunya, rabbana liyudillu ‘an sabilik. Rabbana itmis ‘ala amwalihim washdud ‘ala qulubihim fala yu’minu hatta yarawul-‘adhabal-alim.

Musa said, “Our Lord, You have given Pharaoh and his chiefs beauty and wealth in the worldly life, our Lord, so they may mislead from Your path. Our Lord, wipe out their wealth and harden their hearts so they will not believe until they see the painful punishment.”

Qala qad ujibat da‘watukuma fastaqima wa la tattabi‘anni sabilal-ladhina la ya‘lamun.

He said, “Your supplication has been answered, so remain steadfast, both of you, and do not follow the path of those who do not know.”

Wa jawazna bibani Isra’ilal-bahra fa atba‘ahum Fir‘awnu wa junuduhu baghyaw wa ‘adwa, hatta idha adrakahul-gharaqu qala amantu annahu la ilaha illalladhi amanat bihi banu Isra’ila wa ana minal-muslimin.

We took the Children of Israel across the sea, then Pharaoh and his soldiers pursued them in tyranny and aggression, until drowning overtook him. He said, “I believe that there is no god except the One in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am among those who submit.”

Al-ana wa qad ‘asayta qablu wa kunta minal-mufsidin.

Now? While you had disobeyed before and were among the corrupters?

Fal-yawma nunajjika bibadanika litakuna liman khalfaka ayah. Wa inna kathiram minan-nasi ‘an ayatina laghafilun.

So today We will save you in your body so that you may be a sign for those after you. But many people are surely heedless of Our signs.

Wa laqad bawwa’na bani Isra’ila mubawwa’a sidqin wa razaqnahum minat-tayyibat, famakhtalafu hatta ja’ahumul-‘ilm. Inna rabbaka yaqdi baynahum yawmal-qiyamati fima kanu fihi yakhtalifun.

We certainly settled the Children of Israel in a good settlement and provided them with good things. They did not differ until knowledge came to them. Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding what they used to differ over.

Fa in kunta fi shakkin mimma anzalna ilayka fas’alil-ladhina yaqra’unal-kitaba min qablik. Laqad ja’akal-haqqu mir rabbika fala takunanna minal-mumtarin.

If you are in doubt about what We have sent down to you, then ask those who read the Scripture before you. The truth has certainly come to you from your Lord, so do not be among those who doubt.

Wa la takunanna minal-ladhina kadhdhabu bi ayatillahi fatakuna minal-khasirin.

And do not be among those who deny the signs of Allah, or you would be among the losers.
