Surah Muminun — The Believers

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ 23:1

Qad aflaha almu/minoon

Successful indeed are the believers

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى صَلَاتِهِمْ خَـٰشِعُونَ 23:2

Allatheena hum fee salatihimkhashiAAoon

Who are humble in their prayers,

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ ٱللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ 23:3

Wallatheena hum AAani allaghwimuAAridoon

And who shun vain conversation,

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكَوٰةِ فَـٰعِلُونَ 23:4

Wallatheena hum lizzakatifaAAiloon

And who are payers of the poor-due;

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَـٰفِظُونَ 23:5

Wallatheena hum lifuroojihim hafithoon

And who guard their modesty -

إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ 23:6

Illa AAala azwajihim awma malakat aymanuhum fa-innahum ghayru maloomeen

Save from their wives or the (slaves) that their right hands possess, for then they are not blameworthy,

فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ 23:7

Famani ibtagha waraa thalikafaola-ika humu alAAadoon

But whoso craveth beyond that, such are transgressors -

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَـٰنَـٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ 23:8

Wallatheena hum li-amanatihimwaAAahdihim raAAoon

And who are shepherds of their pledge and their covenant,

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَٰتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ 23:9

Wallatheena hum AAala salawatihimyuhafithoon

And who pay heed to their prayers.

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْوَٰرِثُونَ 23:10

Ola-ika humu alwarithoon

These are the heirs

ٱلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ 23:11

Allatheena yarithoona alfirdawsa humfeeha khalidoon

Who will inherit paradise. There they will abide.

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِن سُلَـٰلَةٍ مِّن طِينٍ 23:12

Walaqad khalaqna al-insana minsulalatin min teen

Verily We created man from a product of wet earth;

ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَـٰهُ نُطْفَةً فِى قَرَارٍ مَّكِينٍ 23:13

Thumma jaAAalnahu nutfatan feeqararin makeen

Then placed him as a drop (of seed) in a safe lodging;

ثُمَّ خَلَقْنَا ٱلنُّطْفَةَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقْنَا ٱلْعَلَقَةَ مُضْغَةً فَخَلَقْنَا ٱلْمُضْغَةَ عِظَـٰمًا فَكَسَوْنَا ٱلْعِظَـٰمَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَـٰهُ خَلْقًا ءَاخَرَ ۚ فَتَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ ٱلْخَـٰلِقِينَ 23:14

Thumma khalaqna annutfataAAalaqatan fakhalaqna alAAalaqata mudghatanfakhalaqna almudghata AAithamanfakasawna alAAithama lahmanthumma ansha/nahu khalqan akhara fatabarakaAllahu ahsanu alkhaliqeen

Then fashioned We the drop a clot, then fashioned We the clot a little lump, then fashioned We the little lump bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators!

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُم بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَيِّتُونَ 23:15

Thumma innakum baAAda thalikalamayyitoon

Then lo! after that ye surely die.

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ تُبْعَثُونَ 23:16

Thumma innakum yawma alqiyamatitubAAathoon

Then lo! on the Day of Resurrection ye are raised (again).

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعَ طَرَآئِقَ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ ٱلْخَلْقِ غَـٰفِلِينَ 23:17

Walaqad khalaqna fawqakum sabAAa tara-iqawama kunna AAani alkhalqi ghafileen

And We have created above you seven paths, and We are never unmindful of creation.

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۢ بِقَدَرٍ فَأَسْكَنَّـٰهُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ ذَهَابٍۭ بِهِۦ لَقَـٰدِرُونَ 23:18

Waanzalna mina assama-imaan biqadarin faaskannahu fee al-ardiwa-inna AAala thahabin bihi laqadiroon

And we send down from the sky water in measure, and We give it lodging in the earth, and lo! We are Able to withdraw it.

فَأَنشَأْنَا لَكُم بِهِۦ جَنَّـٰتٍ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَـٰبٍ لَّكُمْ فِيهَا فَوَٰكِهُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ 23:19

Faansha/na lakum bihi jannatinmin nakheelin waaAAnabin lakum feeha fawakihukatheeratun waminha ta/kuloon

Then We produce for you therewith gardens of date-palms and grapes, wherein is much fruit for you and whereof ye eat;

وَشَجَرَةً تَخْرُجُ مِن طُورِ سَيْنَآءَ تَنۢبُتُ بِٱلدُّهْنِ وَصِبْغٍ لِّلْـَٔاكِلِينَ 23:20

Washajaratan takhruju min toori saynaatanbutu bidduhni wasibghin lilakileen

And a tree that springeth forth from Mount Sinai that groweth oil and relish for the eaters.

وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ لَعِبْرَةً ۖ نُّسْقِيكُم مِّمَّا فِى بُطُونِهَا وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَـٰفِعُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ 23:21

Wa-inna lakum fee al-anAAamilaAAibratan nusqeekum mimma fee butoonihawalakum feeha manafiAAu katheeratun waminhata/kuloon

And lo! in the cattle there is verily a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, and many uses have ye in them, and of them do ye eat;

وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُونَ 23:22

WaAAalayha waAAala alfulki tuhmaloon

And on them and on the ship ye are carried.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ فَقَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥٓ ۖ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ 23:23

Walaqad arsalna noohan ilaqawmihi faqala ya qawmi oAAbudoo Allaha malakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoon

And We verily sent Noah unto his folk, and he said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other Allah save Him. Will ye not ward off (evil)?

فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَؤُا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ مَا هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُرِيدُ أَن يَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَأَنزَلَ مَلَـٰٓئِكَةً مَّا سَمِعْنَا بِهَـٰذَا فِىٓ ءَابَآئِنَا ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 23:24

Faqala almalao allatheenakafaroo min qawmihi ma hatha illa basharunmithlukum yureedu an yatafaddala AAalaykum walaw shaaAllahu laanzala mala-ikatan ma samiAAnabihatha fee aba-ina al-awwaleen

But the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved, said: This is only a mortal like you who would make himself superior to you. Had Allah willed, He surely could have sent down angels. We heard not of this in the case of our fathers of old.

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌۢ بِهِۦ جِنَّةٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوا۟ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ 23:25

In huwa illa rajulun bihi jinnatunfatarabbasoo bihi hatta heen

He is only a man in whom is a madness, so watch him for a while.

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱنصُرْنِى بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ 23:26

Qala rabbi onsurnee bimakaththaboon

He said: My Lord! Help me because they deny me.

فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ أَنِ ٱصْنَعِ ٱلْفُلْكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ ٱلتَّنُّورُ ۙ فَٱسْلُكْ فِيهَا مِن كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْقَوْلُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَلَا تُخَـٰطِبْنِى فِى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ ۖ إِنَّهُم مُّغْرَقُونَ 23:27

Faawhayna ilayhi ani isnaAAialfulka bi-aAAyunina wawahyina fa-ithajaa amruna wafara attannooru faslukfeeha min kullin zawjayni ithnayni waahlaka illaman sabaqa AAalayhi alqawlu minhum wala tukhatibneefee allatheena thalamoo innahum mughraqoon

Then We inspired in him, saying: Make the ship under Our eyes and Our inspiration. Then, when Our command cometh and the oven gusheth water, introduce therein of every (kind) two spouses, and thy household save him thereof against whom the Word hath already gone forth. And plead not with Me on behalf of those who have done wrong. Lo! they will be drowned.

فَإِذَا ٱسْتَوَيْتَ أَنتَ وَمَن مَّعَكَ عَلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ فَقُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى نَجَّىٰنَا مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ 23:28

Fa-itha istawayta anta waman maAAakaAAala alfulki faquli alhamdu lillahi allatheenajjana mina alqawmi aththalimeen

And when thou art on board the ship, thou and whoso is with thee, then say: Praise be to Allah Who hath saved us from the wrongdoing folk!

وَقُل رَّبِّ أَنزِلْنِى مُنزَلًا مُّبَارَكًا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْمُنزِلِينَ 23:29

Waqul rabbi anzilnee munzalan mubarakanwaanta khayru almunzileen

And say: My Lord! Cause me to land at a blessed landing-place, for Thou art Best of all who bring to land.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ وَإِن كُنَّا لَمُبْتَلِينَ 23:30

Inna fee thalika laayatinwa-in kunna lamubtaleen

Lo! herein verily are portents, for lo! We are ever putting (mankind) to the test.

ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْنًا ءَاخَرِينَ 23:31

Thumma ansha/na min baAAdihim qarnan akhareen

Then, after them, We brought forth another generation;

فَأَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِمْ رَسُولًا مِّنْهُمْ أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥٓ ۖ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ 23:32

Faarsalna feehim rasoolan minhum anioAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhuafala tattaqoon

And we sent among them a messenger of their own, saying: Serve Allah, Ye have no other Allah save Him. Will ye not ward off (evil)?

وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِلِقَآءِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَأَتْرَفْنَـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا مَا هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يَأْكُلُ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهُ وَيَشْرَبُ مِمَّا تَشْرَبُونَ 23:33

Waqala almalao min qawmihi allatheenakafaroo wakaththaboo biliqa-i al-akhiratiwaatrafnahum fee alhayati addunyama hatha illa basharun mithlukum ya/kulumimma ta/kuloona minhu wayashrabu mimma tashraboon

And the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter, and whom We had made soft in the life of the world, said: This is only a mortal like you, who eateth of that whereof ye eat and drinketh of that ye drink.

وَلَئِنْ أَطَعْتُم بَشَرًا مِّثْلَكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّخَـٰسِرُونَ 23:34

Wala-in ataAAtum basharan mithlakuminnakum ithan lakhasiroon

If ye were to obey a mortal like yourselves, then, lo! ye surely would be losers.

أَيَعِدُكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ إِذَا مِتُّمْ وَكُنتُمْ تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَنَّكُم مُّخْرَجُونَ 23:35

AyaAAidukum annakum itha mittumwakuntum turaban waAAithaman annakummukhrajoon

Doth he promise you that you, when ye are dead and have become dust and bones, will (again) be brought forth?

۞ هَيْهَاتَ هَيْهَاتَ لِمَا تُوعَدُونَ 23:36

Hayhata hayhata limatooAAadoon

Begone, begone, with that which ye are promised!

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا ٱلدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوثِينَ 23:37

In hiya illa hayatunaaddunya namootu wanahya wamanahnu bimabAAootheen

There is naught but our life of the world; we die and we live, and we shall not be raised (again).

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا وَمَا نَحْنُ لَهُۥ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ 23:38

In huwa illa rajulun iftaraAAala Allahi kathiban wama nahnulahu bimu/mineen

He is only a man who hath invented a lie about Allah. We are not going to put faith in him.

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱنصُرْنِى بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ 23:39

Qala rabbi onsurnee bimakaththaboon

He said: My Lord! Help me because they deny me.

قَالَ عَمَّا قَلِيلٍ لَّيُصْبِحُنَّ نَـٰدِمِينَ 23:40

Qala AAamma qaleelin layusbihunnanadimeen

He said: In a little while they surely will become repentant.

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ بِٱلْحَقِّ فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ غُثَآءً ۚ فَبُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ 23:41

Faakhathat-humu assayhatubilhaqqi fajaAAalnahum ghuthaanfabuAAdan lilqawmi aththalimeen

So the (Awful) Cry overtook them rightfully, and We made them like as wreckage (that a torrent hurleth). A far removal for wrongdoing folk!

ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ قُرُونًا ءَاخَرِينَ 23:42

Thumma ansha/na min baAAdihimquroonan akhareen

Then after them We brought forth other generations.

مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ 23:43

Ma tasbiqu min ommatin ajalahawama yasta/khiroon

No nation can outstrip its term, nor yet postpone it.

ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَا ۖ كُلَّ مَا جَآءَ أُمَّةً رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُ ۚ فَأَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُم بَعْضًا وَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ ۚ فَبُعْدًا لِّقَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ 23:44

Thumma arsalna rusulana tatrakulla ma jaa ommatan rasooluha kaththaboohufaatbaAAna baAAdahum baAAdan wajaAAalnahumahadeetha fabuAAdan liqawmin la yu/minoon

Then We sent our messengers one after another. Whenever its messenger came unto a nation they denied him; so We caused them to follow one another (to disaster) and We made them bywords. A far removal for folk who believe not!

ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَأَخَاهُ هَـٰرُونَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا وَسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ 23:45

Thumma arsalna moosa waakhahuharoona bi-ayatina wasultaninmubeen

Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our tokens and a clear warrant

إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا عَالِينَ 23:46

Ila firAAawna wamala-ihi fastakbaroowakanoo qawman AAaleen

Unto Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they scorned (them) and they were despotic folk.

فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لِبَشَرَيْنِ مِثْلِنَا وَقَوْمُهُمَا لَنَا عَـٰبِدُونَ 23:47

Faqaloo anu/minu libasharayni mithlinawaqawmuhuma lana AAabidoon

And they said: Shall we put faith in two mortals like ourselves, and whose folk are servile unto us?

فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَكَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُهْلَكِينَ 23:48

Fakaththaboohuma fakanoomina almuhlakeen

So they denied them, and became of those who were destroyed.

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ 23:49

Walaqad atayna moosaalkitaba laAAallahum yahtadoon

And We verily gave Moses the Scripture, that haply they might go aright.

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمَّهُۥٓ ءَايَةً وَءَاوَيْنَـٰهُمَآ إِلَىٰ رَبْوَةٍ ذَاتِ قَرَارٍ وَمَعِينٍ 23:50

WajaAAalna ibna maryama waommahu ayatanwaawaynahuma ila rabwatin thatiqararin wamaAAeen

And We made the son of Mary and his mother a portent, and We gave them refuge on a height, a place of flocks and watersprings.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرُّسُلُ كُلُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ وَٱعْمَلُوا۟ صَـٰلِحًا ۖ إِنِّى بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌ 23:51

Ya ayyuha arrusulukuloo mina attayyibati waAAmaloo salihaninnee bima taAAmaloona AAaleem

O ye messengers! Eat of the good things, and do right. Lo! I am Aware of what ye do.

وَإِنَّ هَـٰذِهِۦٓ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً وَأَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمْ فَٱتَّقُونِ 23:52

Wa-inna hathihi ommatukum ommatan wahidatanwaana rabbukum fattaqoon

And lo! this your religion is one religion and I am your Lord, so keep your duty unto Me.

فَتَقَطَّعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ زُبُرًا ۖ كُلُّ حِزْبٍۭ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ 23:53

FataqattaAAoo amrahum baynahumzuburan kullu hizbin bima ladayhim farihoon

But they (mankind) have broken their religion among them into sects, each group rejoicing in its tenets.

فَذَرْهُمْ فِى غَمْرَتِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ 23:54

Fatharhum fee ghamratihim hattaheen

So leave them in their error till a time.

أَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّمَا نُمِدُّهُم بِهِۦ مِن مَّالٍ وَبَنِينَ 23:55

Ayahsaboona annama numidduhumbihi min malin wabaneen

Think they that in the wealth and sons wherewith We provide them

نُسَارِعُ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ ۚ بَل لَّا يَشْعُرُونَ 23:56

NusariAAu lahum fee alkhayratibal la yashAAuroon

We hasten unto them with good things? Nay, but they perceive not.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ 23:57

Inna allatheena hum min khashyatirabbihim mushfiqoon

Lo! those who go in awe for fear of their Lord.

Wallatheena hum bi-ayatirabbihim yu/minoon

And those who believe in the revelations of their Lord,

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِرَبِّهِمْ لَا يُشْرِكُونَ 23:59

Wallatheena hum birabbihim layushrikoon

And those who ascribe not partners unto their Lord,

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَآ ءَاتَوا۟ وَّقُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ رَٰجِعُونَ 23:60

Wallatheena yu/toona maataw waquloobuhum wajilatun annahum ila rabbihim rajiAAoon

And those who give that which they give with hearts afraid because they are about to return unto their Lord,

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يُسَـٰرِعُونَ فِى ٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ وَهُمْ لَهَا سَـٰبِقُونَ 23:61

Ola-ika yusariAAoona feealkhayrati wahum laha sabiqoon

These race for the good things, and they shall win them in the race.

وَلَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۖ وَلَدَيْنَا كِتَـٰبٌ يَنطِقُ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ 23:62

Wala nukallifu nafsan illawusAAaha waladayna kitabun yantiqu bilhaqqiwahum la yuthlamoon

And we task not any soul beyond its scope, and with Us is a Record which speaketh the truth, and they will not be wronged.

بَلْ قُلُوبُهُمْ فِى غَمْرَةٍ مِّنْ هَـٰذَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْمَـٰلٌ مِّن دُونِ ذَٰلِكَ هُمْ لَهَا عَـٰمِلُونَ 23:63

Bal quloobuhum fee ghamratin min hathawalahum aAAmalun min dooni thalika hum lahaAAamiloon

Nay, but their hearts are in ignorance of this (Qur'an), and they have other works, besides, which they are doing;

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَخَذْنَا مُتْرَفِيهِم بِٱلْعَذَابِ إِذَا هُمْ يَجْـَٔرُونَ 23:64

Hatta itha akhathnamutrafeehim bilAAathabi itha hum yaj-aroon

Till when We grasp their luxurious ones with the punishment, behold! they supplicate.

La taj-aroo alyawma innakum minnala tunsaroon

Supplicate not this day! Assuredly ye will not be helped by Us.

قَدْ كَانَتْ ءَايَـٰتِى تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنتُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَعْقَـٰبِكُمْ تَنكِصُونَ 23:66

Qad kanat ayatee tutlaAAalaykum fakuntum AAala aAAqabikum tankisoon

My revelations were recited unto you, but ye used to turn back on your heels,

مُسْتَكْبِرِينَ بِهِۦ سَـٰمِرًا تَهْجُرُونَ 23:67

Mustakbireena bihi samiran tahjuroon

In scorn thereof. Nightly did ye rave together.

أَفَلَمْ يَدَّبَّرُوا۟ ٱلْقَوْلَ أَمْ جَآءَهُم مَّا لَمْ يَأْتِ ءَابَآءَهُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 23:68

Afalam yaddabbaroo alqawla am jaahumma lam ya/ti abaahumu al-awwaleen

Have they not pondered the Word, or hath that come unto them which came not unto their fathers of old?

Am yaqooloona bihi jinnatun bal jaahumbilhaqqi waaktharuhum lilhaqqi karihoon

Or say they: There is a madness in him? Nay, but he bringeth them the Truth; and most of them are haters of the Truth.

وَلَوِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلْحَقُّ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ بَلْ أَتَيْنَـٰهُم بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَن ذِكْرِهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ 23:71

Wa-inna allatheena layu/minoona bil-akhirati AAani assiratilanakiboon

And lo! those who believe not in the Hereafter are indeed astray from the path.

۞ وَلَوْ رَحِمْنَـٰهُمْ وَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِم مِّن ضُرٍّ لَّلَجُّوا۟ فِى طُغْيَـٰنِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ 23:75

Walaw rahimnahum wakashafnama bihim min durrin lalajjoo fee tughyanihimyaAAmahoon

Bal qaloo mithla ma qalaal-awwaloon

Nay, but they say the like of that which said the men of old;

Qaloo a-itha mitnawakunna turaban waAAithamana-inna lamabAAoothoon

Laqad wuAAidna nahnu waabaonahatha min qablu in hatha illa asateerual-awwaleen

We were already promised this, we and our forefathers. Lo! this is naught but fables of the men of old.
