۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ

(Abraham) said: "And what, O ye Messengers, is your errand (now)?"

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ

They said, "We have been sent to a people (deep) in sin;-

لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن طِينٍ

"To bring on, on them, (a shower of) stones of clay (brimstone),

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ

"Marked as from thy Lord for those who trespass beyond bounds."

فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Then We evacuated those of the Believers who were there,

فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ

But We found not there any just (Muslim) persons except in one house:

وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةً لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ

And We left there a Sign for such as fear the Grievous Penalty.

وَفِى مُوسَىٰٓ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ

And in Moses (was another Sign): Behold, We sent him to Pharaoh, with authority manifest.

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَـٰحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ

But (Pharaoh) turned back with his Chiefs, and said, "A sorcerer, or one possessed!"

فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ

So We took him and his forces, and threw them into the sea; and his was the blame.

وَفِى عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلْعَقِيمَ

And in the 'Ad (people) (was another Sign): Behold, We sent against them the devastating Wind:

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ

It left nothing whatever that it came up against, but reduced it to ruin and rottenness.

وَفِى ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

And in the Thamud (was another Sign): Behold, they were told, "Enjoy (your brief day) for a little while!"

فَعَتَوْا۟ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ

But they insolently defied the Command of their Lord: So the stunning noise (of an earthquake) seized them, even while they were looking on.

فَمَا ٱسْتَطَـٰعُوا۟ مِن قِيَامٍ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِينَ

Then they could not even stand (on their feet), nor could they help themselves.

وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَـٰسِقِينَ

So were the People of Noah before them for they wickedly transgressed.

وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَـٰهَا بِأَيْي۟دٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ

With power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of space.

وَٱلْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَـٰهَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْمَـٰهِدُونَ

And We have spread out the (spacious) earth: How excellently We do spread out!

وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

And of every thing We have created pairs: That ye may receive instruction.

فَفِرُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

Hasten ye then (at once) to Allah: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open!

وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

And make not another an object of worship with Allah: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open!

كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ

Similarly, no messenger came to the Peoples before them, but they said (of him) in like manner, "A sorcerer, or one possessed"!

أَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِهِۦ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ

Is this the legacy they have transmitted, one to another? Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds!

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍ

So turn away from them: not thine is the blame.

وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

But teach (thy Message) for teaching benefits the Believers.

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ

I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me.

مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ

No Sustenance do I require of them, nor do I require that they should feed Me.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ

For Allah is He Who gives (all) Sustenance,- Lord of Power,- Steadfast (for ever).

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبًا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَـٰبِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ

For the Wrong-doers, their portion is like unto the portion of their fellows (of earlier generations): then let them not ask Me to hasten (that portion)!

فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن يَوْمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ

Woe, then, to the Unbelievers, on account of that Day of theirs which they have been promised!

وَٱلطُّورِ

By the Mount (of Revelation);

وَكِتَـٰبٍ مَّسْطُورٍ

By a Decree inscribed

فِى رَقٍّ مَّنشُورٍ

In a Scroll unfolded;

وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْمَعْمُورِ

By the much-frequented Fane;

وَٱلسَّقْفِ ٱلْمَرْفُوعِ

By the Canopy Raised High;

وَٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْمَسْجُورِ

And by the Ocean filled with Swell;-

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ لَوَٰقِعٌ

Verily, the Doom of thy Lord will indeed come to pass;-

مَّا لَهُۥ مِن دَافِعٍ

There is none can avert it;-

يَوْمَ تَمُورُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ مَوْرًا

On the Day when the firmament will be in dreadful commotion.

وَتَسِيرُ ٱلْجِبَالُ سَيْرًا

And the mountains will fly hither and thither.

فَوَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Then woe that Day to those that treat (Truth) as Falsehood;-

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى خَوْضٍ يَلْعَبُونَ

That play (and paddle) in shallow trifles.

يَوْمَ يُدَعُّونَ إِلَىٰ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا

That Day shall they be thrust down to the Fire of Hell, irresistibly.

هَـٰذِهِ ٱلنَّارُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ

"This:, it will be said, "Is the Fire,- which ye were wont to deny!

أَفَسِحْرٌ هَـٰذَآ أَمْ أَنتُمْ لَا تُبْصِرُونَ

"Is this then a fake, or is it ye that do not see?

ٱصْلَوْهَا فَٱصْبِرُوٓا۟ أَوْ لَا تَصْبِرُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ إِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

"Burn ye therein: the same is it to you whether ye bear it with patience, or not: Ye but receive the recompense of your (own) deeds."

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَنَعِيمٍ

As to the Righteous, they will be in Gardens, and in Happiness,-

فَـٰكِهِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Enjoying the (Bliss) which their Lord hath bestowed on them, and their Lord shall deliver them from the Penalty of the Fire.

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

(To them will be said:) "Eat and drink ye, with profit and health, because of your (good) deeds."

مُتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّصْفُوفَةٍ ۖ وَزَوَّجْنَـٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ

They will recline (with ease) on Thrones (of dignity) arranged in ranks; and We shall join them to Companions, with beautiful big and lustrous eyes.
