SURAH AL-ANBIYA’ (THE PROPHETS)

This ‘Makki’ surah has 112 verses. It is narrated that the reward for reciting this surah is that the accounting on the Day of Reckoning becomes easy for the reciter and all the Prophets whose names appear in the Holy Qur’an will come to meet him on this day.

Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) has said that whoever recites surah al-Anbiya’ frequently, his status in Paradise will be close to the Prophets. Writing this surah and keeping it with one removes all stress and worry.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

اِقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِىْ غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ‌ۚ‏(1)

(1) Their reckoning has drawn near to men, and in heedlessness are they turning aside.

مَا يَاْتِيْهِمْ مِّنْ ذِكْرٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّہِمْ مُّحْدَثٍ اِلَّا اسْتَمَعُوْهُ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُوْنَۙ‏(2)

(2) There comes not to them a new reminder from their Lord but they hear it while they sport,

لَاهِيَةً قُلُوْبُهُمْ‌ ؕ وَاَسَرُّوا النَّجْوَى‌ۖ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا ‌ۖ  هَلْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ‌ ۚ اَفَتَاْتُوْنَ السِّحْرَ وَاَنْتُمْ تُبْصِرُوْنَ‏(3)

(3) Their hearts trifling; and those who are unjust counsel together in secret: He is nothing but a mortal like yourselves; what! will you then yield to enchantment while you see?

قٰلَ رَبِّىْ يَعْلَمُ الْقَوْلَ فِى السَّمَآءِ وَالْاَرْضِ‌ وَهُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ‏(4)

(4) He said: My Lord knows what is spoken in the heaven and the earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

بَلْ قَالُوْۤا اَضْغَاثُ اَحْلَامٍۢ بَلِ افْتَرٰٮهُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِرٌ ‌ ۖۚ فَلْيَاْتِنَا بِاٰيَةٍ كَمَاۤ اُرْسِلَ الْاَوَّلُوْنَ‏(5)

(5) Nay! say they: Medleys of dreams; nay! he has forged it; nay! he is a poet; so let him bring to us a sign as the former (prophets) were sent (with).

مَاۤ اٰمَنَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْيَةٍ اَهْلَكْنٰهَا‌ۚ اَفَهُمْ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ‏(6)

(6) There did not believe before them any town which We destroyed, will they then believe?

وَمَاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ اِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوْحِىْۤ اِلَيْهِمْ‌ فَسْئَلُوْۤا اَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ‏(7)

(7) And We did not send before you any but men to whom We sent revelation, so ask the followers of the reminder if you do not

وَمَا جَعَلْنٰهُمْ جَسَدًا لَّا يَاْكُلُوْنَ الطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُوْا خٰلِدِيْنَ‏(8)

(8) And We did not make them bodies not eating the food, and they were not to abide (forever).

ثُمَّ صَدَقْنٰهُمُ الْوَعْدَ فَاَنْجَيْنٰهُمْ وَمَنْ نَّشَآءُ وَاَهْلَكْنَا الْمُسْرِفِيْنَ‏(9)

(9) Then We made Our promise good to them, so We delivered them and those whom We pleased, and We destroyed the extravagant.

لَقَدْ اَنْزَلْنَاۤ اِلَيْكُمْ كِتٰبًا فِيْهِ ذِكْرُكُمْ‌ؕ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ‏(10)

(10) Certainly We have revealed to you a Book in which is your good remembrance; what! do you not then understand?

وَكَمْ قَصَمْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ كَانَتْ ظَالِمَةً وَّاَنْشَاْنَا بَعْدَهَا قَوْمًا اٰخَرِيْنَ‏(11)

(11) And how many a town which was iniquitous did We demolish, and We raised up after it another people!

فَلَمَّاۤ اَحَسُّوْا بَاْسَنَاۤ اِذَا هُمْ مِّنْهَا يَرْكُضُوْنَؕ‏(12)

(12) So when they felt Our punishment, lo! they began to fly

لَا تَرْكُضُوْا وَ ارْجِعُوْۤا اِلٰى مَاۤ اُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيْهِ وَمَسٰكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْئَلُوْنَ‏(13)

(13) Do not fly (now) and come back to what you were made to lead easy lives in and to your dwellings, haply you will be questioned.

قَالُوْا يٰوَيْلَنَاۤ اِنَّا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيْنَ‏(14)

(14) They said: O woe to us! surely we were unjust.

فَمَا زَالَتْ تِّلْكَ دَعْوٰٮهُمْ حَتّٰى جَعَلْنٰهُمْ حَصِيْدًا خٰمِدِيْنَ‏(15)

(15) And this ceased not to be their cry till We made them cut off, extinct.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَآءَ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لٰعِبِيْنَ‏(16)

(16) And We did not create the heaven and the earth and what is between them for sport.

لَوْ اَرَدْنَاۤ اَنْ نَّتَّخِذَ لَهْوًا لَّا تَّخَذْنٰهُ مِنْ لَّدُنَّاۤ ۖ  اِنْ كُنَّا فٰعِلِيْنَ‏(17)

(17) Had We wished to make a diversion, We would have made it from before Ourselves: by no means would We do (it).

بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهٗ فَاِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌ‌ ؕ وَلَكُمُ الْوَيْلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُوْنَ‏(18)

(18) Nay! We cast the truth against the falsehood, so that it breaks its head, and lo! it vanishes; and woe to you for what you describe;

وَلَهٗ مَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ‌ؕ وَمَنْ عِنْدَهٗ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهٖ وَلَا يَسْتَحْسِرُوْنَ‌ۚ‏(19)

(19) And whoever is in the heavens and the earth is His; and those who are with Him are not proud to serve Him, nor do they grow weary.

يُسَبِّحُوْنَ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لَا يَفْتُرُوْنَ‏(20)

(20) They glorify (Him) by night and day; they are never languid.

اَمِ اتَّخَذُوْۤا اٰلِهَةً مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ هُمْ يُنْشِرُوْنَ‏(21)

(21) Or have they taken gods from the earth who raise (the dead).

لَوْ كَانَ فِيْهِمَاۤ اٰلِهَةٌ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ لَفَسَدَتَا‌ۚ فَسُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُوْنَ‏(22)

(22) If there had been in them any gods except Allah, they would both have certainly been in a state of disorder; therefore glory be to Allah, the Lord of the dominion, above what they attribute (to Him).

لَا يُسْئَلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْئَلُوْنَ‏(23)

(23) He cannot be questioned concerning what He does and they shall be questioned.

اَمِ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اٰلِهَةً ‌ ؕ قُلْ هَاتُوْا بُرْهَانَكُمْ‌ ۚ هٰذَا ذِكْرُ مَنْ مَّعِىَ وَذِكْرُ مَنْ قَبْلِىْ‌ ؕ بَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ۙ الْحَقَّ‌ فَهُمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ‏(24)

(24) Or, have they taken gods besides Him? Say: Bring your proof; this is the reminder of those with me and the reminder of those before me. Nay! most of them do not know the truth, so they turn aside.

وَمَاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ مِنْ رَّسُوْلٍ اِلَّا نُوْحِىْۤ اِلَيْهِ اَنَّهٗ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّاۤ اَنَا فَاعْبُدُوْنِ‏(25)

(25) And We did not send before you any apostle but We revealed to him that there is no god but Me, therefore serve Me.

وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَلَدًا‌ سُبْحٰنَهٗ‌ ؕ بَلْ عِبَادٌ مُّكْرَمُوْنَ ۙ‏(26)

(26) And they say: The Beneficent Allah has taken to Himself a son. Glory be to Him. Nay! they are honored servants

لَا يَسْبِقُوْنَهٗ بِالْقَوْلِ وَهُمْ بِاَمْرِهٖ يَعْمَلُوْنَ‏(27)

(27) They do not precede Him in speech and (only) according to His commandment do they act.

يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَ لَا يَشْفَعُوْنَۙ اِلَّا لِمَنِ ارْتَضٰى وَهُمْ مِّنْ خَشْيَتِهٖ مُشْفِقُوْنَ‏(28)

(28) He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they do not intercede except for him whom He approves and for fear of Him they tremble.

وَمَنْ يَّقُلْ مِنْهُمْ اِنِّىْۤ اِلٰهٌ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ فَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِيْهِ جَهَنَّمَ‌ؕ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِى الظّٰلِمِيْنَ‏(29)

(29) And whoever of them should say: Surely I am a god besides Him, such a one do We recompense with hell; thus do, We recompense the unjust.

اَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اَنَّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنٰهُمَا‌ ؕ وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَآءِ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ حَىٍّ‌ ؕ اَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ‏(30)

(30) Do not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and the earth were closed up, but We have opened them; and We have made of water everything living, will they not then believe?

وَجَعَلْنَا فِى الْاَرْضِ رَوَاسِىَ اَنْ تَمِيْدَ بِهِمْ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيْهَا فِجَاجًا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُوْنَ‏(31)

(31) And We have made great mountains in the earth lest it might be convulsed with them, and We have made in it wide ways that they may follow a right direction.

وَجَعَلْنَا السَّمَآءَ سَقْفًا مَّحْفُوْظًا ۖۚ وَّهُمْ عَنْ اٰيٰتِهَا مُعْرِضُوْنَ‏(32)

(32) And We have made the heaven a guarded canopy and (yet) they turn aside from its signs.

وَهُوَ الَّذِىْ خَلَقَ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ‌ؕ كُلٌّ فِىْ فَلَكٍ يَّسْبَحُوْنَ‏(33)

(33) And He it is Who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all (orbs) travel along swiftly in their celestial spheres.

وَمَا جَعَلْنَا لِبَشَرٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ الْخُلْدَ‌ ؕ اَفَاۡئِن مِّتَّ فَهُمُ الْخٰلِدُوْنَ‏(34)

(34) And We did not ordain abiding for any mortal before you. What! Then if you die, will they abide?

كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ‌ؕ وَنَبْلُوْكُمْ بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً‌ ؕ وَاِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُوْنَ‏(35)

(35) Every soul must taste of death and We try you by evil and good by way of probation; and to Us you shall be brought back.

وَاِذَا رَاٰكَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِنْ يَّتَّخِذُوْنَكَ اِلَّا هُزُوًا ؕ اَهٰذَا الَّذِىْ يَذْكُرُ اٰلِهَتَكُمْ‌ۚ وَهُمْ بِذِكْرِ الرَّحْمٰنِ هُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ‏(36)

(36) And when those who disbelieve see you, they do not take you but for one to be scoffed at: Is this he who speaks of your gods? And they are deniers at the mention of the Beneficent Allah.

خُلِقَ الْاِنْسَانُ مِنْ عَجَلٍ‌ؕ سَاُورِيْكُمْ اٰيٰتِىْ فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوْنِ‏(37)

(37) Man is created of haste; now will I show to you My signs, therefore do not ask Me to hasten (them) on.

وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ‏(38)

(38) And they say: When will this threat come to pass if you are truthful?

لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا حِيْنَ لَا يَكُفُّوْنَ عَنْ وُّجُوْهِهِمُ النَّارَ وَلَا عَنْ ظُهُوْرِهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنْصَرُوْنَ‏(39)

(39) Had those who disbelieve but known (of the time) when they shall not be able to ward off the fire from their faces nor from their backs, nor shall they be helped.

بَلْ تَاْتِيْهِمْ بَغْتَةً فَتَبْهَتُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمْ يُنْظَرُوْنَ‏(40)

(40) Nay, it shall come on them all of a sudden and cause them to become confounded, so they shall not have the power to avert it, nor shall they be respited.

وَلَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِالَّذِيْنَ سَخِرُوْا مِنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ‏(41)

(41) And certainly apostles before you were scoffed at, then there befell those of them who scoffed that at which they had scoffed.

قُلْ مَنْ يَّكْلَؤُكُمْ بِالَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ مِنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ‌ؕ بَلْ هُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ‏(42)

(42) Say: Who guards you by night and by day from the Beneficent Allah? Nay, they turn aside at the mention of their Lord.

اَمْ لَهُمْ اٰلِهَةٌ تَمْنَعُهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِنَا ‌ؕ لَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ نَصْرَ اَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ مِّنَّا يُصْحَبُوْنَ‏(43)

(43) Or, have they gods who can defend them against Us? They shall not be able to assist themselves, nor shall they be defended from Us.

بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ وَ اٰبَآءَهُمْ حَتّٰى طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعُمُرُ ‌ؕ اَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ اَنَّا نَاْتِى الْاَرْضَ نَنْقُصُهَا مِنْ اَطْرَافِهَا ؕ‌ اَفَهُمُ الْغٰلِبُوْنَ‏(44)

(44) Nay, We gave provision to these and their fathers until life was prolonged to them. Do they not then see that We are visiting the land, curtailing it of its sides? Shall they then prevail?

قُلْ اِنَّمَاۤ اُنْذِرُكُمْ بِالْوَحْىِ ‌‌ۖ  وَلَا يَسْمَعُ الصُّمُّ الدُّعَآءَ اِذَا مَا يُنْذَرُوْنَ‏(45)

(45) Say: I warn you only by revelation; and the deaf do not hear the call whenever they are warned.

وَلَئِنْ مَّسَّتْهُمْ نَفْحَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُوْلُنَّ يٰوَيْلَنَاۤ اِنَّا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيْنَ‏(46)

(46) And if a blast of the chastisement of your Lord were to touch them, they will certainly say: O woe to us! surely we were unjust.

وَنَضَعُ الْمَوَازِيْنَ الْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ فَلَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْئًا‌ ؕ وَاِنْ كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ اَتَيْنَا بِهَا‌ ؕ وَكَفٰى بِنَا حٰسِبِيْنَ‏(47)

(47) And We will set up a just balance on the day of resurrection, so no soul shall be dealt with unjustly in the least; and though there be the weight of a grain of mustard seed, (yet) will We bring it, and sufficient are We to take account.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسٰى وَهٰرُوْنَ الْفُرْقَانَ وَضِيَآءً وَّذِكْرًا لِّلْمُتَّقِيْنَۙ‏(48)

(48) And certainly We gave to Musa and Haroun the Furqan and a light and a reminder for those who would guard (against evil).

الَّذِيْنَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ وَهُمْ مِّنَ السَّاعَةِ مُشْفِقُوْنَ‏(49)

(49) (For) those who fear their Lord in secret and they are fearful of the hour.

وَهٰذَا ذِكْرٌ مُّبٰرَكٌ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ‌ؕ اَفَاَنْتُمْ لَهٗ مُنْكِرُوْنَ‏(50)

(50) And this is a blessed Reminder which We have revealed; will you then deny it?

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَاۤ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ رُشْدَهٗ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ كُنَّا بِهٖ عٰلِمِيْنَ‌ۚ‏(51)

(51) And certainly We gave to Ibrahim his rectitude before, and We knew him fully well.

اِذْ قَالَ لِاَبِيْهِ وَقَوْمِهٖ مَا هٰذِهِ التَّمَاثِيْلُ الَّتِىْۤ اَنْتُمْ لَهَا عٰكِفُوْنَ‏(52)

(52) When he said to his father and his people: What are these images to whose worship you cleave?

قَالُوْا وَجَدْنَاۤ اٰبَآءَنَا لَهَا عٰبِدِيْنَ‏(53)

(53) They said: We found our fathers worshipping them.

قَالَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ اَنْتُمْ وَاٰبَآؤُكُمْ فِىْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ‏(54)

(54) He said: Certainly you have been, (both) you and your fathers, in manifest error.

قَالُوْۤا اَجِئْتَنَا بِالْحَقِّ اَمْ اَنْتَ مِنَ اللّٰعِبِيْنَ‏(55)

(55) They said: Have you brought to us the truth, or are you one of the triflers?

قَالَ بَلْ رَّبُّكُمْ رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ الَّذِىْ فَطَرَهُنَّ ‌ۖ  وَاَنَا عَلٰى ذٰلِكُمْ مِّنَ الشّٰهِدِيْنَ‏(56)

(56) He said: Nay! your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who brought them into existence, and I am of those who bear witness to this:

وَ تَاللّٰهِ لَاَكِيْدَنَّ اَصْنَامَكُمْ بَعْدَ اَنْ تُوَلُّوْا مُدْبِرِيْنَ‏(57)

(57) And, by Allah! I will certainly do something against your idols after you go away, turning back.

فَجَعَلَهُمْ جُذٰذًا اِلَّا كَبِيْرًا لَّهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ اِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُوْنَ‏(58)

(58) So he broke them into pieces, except the chief of them, that haply they may return to it.

قَالُوْا مَنْ فَعَلَ هٰذَا بِاٰلِهَتِنَاۤ اِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ‏(59)

(59) They said: Who has done this to our gods? Most surely he is one of the unjust.

قَالُوْا سَمِعْنَا فَتًى يَّذْكُرُهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهٗۤ اِبْرٰهِيْمُ ؕ‏(60)

(60) They said: We heard a youth called Ibrahim speak of them.

قَالُوْا فَاْتُوْا بِهٖ عَلٰٓى اَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْهَدُوْنَ‏(61)

(61) Said they: Then bring him before the eyes of the people, perhaps they may bear witness.

قَالُوْٓا ءَاَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ هٰذَا بِاٰلِهَتِنَا يٰۤاِبْرٰهِيْمُؕ‏(62)

(62) They said: Have you done this to our gods, O Ibrahim?

قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهٗ ‌‌ۖ  كَبِيْرُهُمْ هٰذَا فَسْئَلُوْهُمْ اِنْ كَانُوْا يَنْطِقُوْنَ‏(63)

(63) He said: Surely (some doer) has done it; the chief of them is this, therefore ask them, if they can speak.

فَرَجَعُوْۤا اِلٰٓى اَنْفُسِهِمْ فَقَالُوْۤا اِنَّكُمْ اَنْتُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَۙ‏(64)

(64) Then they turned to themselves and said: Surely you yourselves are the unjust;

ثُمَّ نُكِسُوْا عَلٰى رُءُوْسِہِمْ‌ۚ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ يَنْطِقُوْنَ‏(65)

(65) Then they were made to hang down their heads: Certainly you know that they do not speak.

قَالَ اَفَتَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَنْفَعُكُمْ شَيْئًا وَّلَا يَضُرُّكُمْؕ‏(66)

(66) He said: What! do you then serve besides Allah what brings you not any benefit at all, nor does it harm you?

اُفٍّ لَّكُمْ وَلِمَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ‌ؕ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ‏(67)

(67) Fie on you and on what you serve besides Allah; what! do you not then understand?

قَالُوْا حَرِّقُوْهُ وَانْصُرُوْۤا اٰلِهَتَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ فٰعِلِيْنَ‏(68)

(68) They said: Burn him and help your gods, if you are going to do (anything).

قُلْنَا يٰنَارُ كُوْنِىْ بَرْدًا وَّسَلٰمًا عَلٰٓى اِبْرٰهِيْمَۙ‏(69)

(69) We said: O fire! be a comfort and peace to Ibrahim;

وَاَرَادُوْا بِهٖ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنٰهُمُ الْاَخْسَرِيْنَ‌ۚ‏(70)

(70) And they desired a war on him, but We made them the greatest losers.

وَنَجَّيْنٰهُ وَلُوْطًا اِلَى الْاَرْضِ الَّتِىْ بٰرَكْنَا فِيْهَا لِلْعٰلَمِيْنَ‏(71)

(71) And We delivered him as well as Lut (removing them) to the land which We had blessed for all people.

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهٗۤ اِسْحٰقَ ؕ وَيَعْقُوْبَ نَافِلَةً‌ ؕ وَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا صٰلِحِيْنَ‏(72)

(72) And We gave him Ishaq and Yaqoub, a son's son, and We made (them) all good.

وَجَعَلْنٰهُمْ اَئِمَّةً يَّهْدُوْنَ بِاَمْرِنَا وَاَوْحَيْنَاۤ اِلَيْهِمْ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرٰتِ وَاِقَامَ الصَّلٰوةِ وَاِيْتَآءَ الزَّكٰوةِ‌ۚ وَكَانُوْا لَنَا عٰبِدِيْنَ ۙ‌ۚ‏(73)

(73) And We made them Imams who guided (people) by Our command, and We revealed to them the doing of good and the keeping up of prayer and the giving of the alms, and Us (alone) did they serve;

وَلُوْطًا اٰتَيْنٰهُ حُكْمًا وَّعِلْمًا وَّنَجَّيْنٰهُ مِنَ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِىْ كَانَتْ تَّعْمَلُ الْخَبٰٓئِثَ‌ؕ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فٰسِقِيْنَۙ‏(74)

(74) And (as for) Lut, We gave him wisdom and knowledge, and We delivered him from the town which wrought abominations; surely they were an evil people, transgressors;

وَاَدْخَلْنٰهُ فِىْ رَحْمَتِنَا‌ ؕ اِنَّهٗ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ‏(75)

(75) And We took him into Our mercy; surely he was of the good.

وَنُوْحًا اِذْ نَادٰى مِنْ قَبْلُ فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ فَنَجَّيْنٰهُ وَاَهْلَهٗ مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيْمِ‌ۚ‏(76)

(76) And Nuh, when he cried aforetime, so We answered him, and delivered him and his followers from the great calamity.

وَنَصَرْنٰهُ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا ‌ؕ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فَاَغْرَقْنٰهُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَ‏(77)

(77) And We helped him against the people who rejected Our communications; surely they were an evil people, so We drowned them all.

وَدَاوٗدَ وَسُلَيْمٰنَ اِذْ يَحْكُمٰنِ فِى الْحَرْثِ اِذْ نَفَشَتْ فِيْهِ غَنَمُ الْقَوْمِ‌ۚ وَكُنَّا لِحُكْمِهِمْ شٰهِدِيْنَ ۙ‏(78)

(78) And Dawood and Sulaiman when they gave Judgement concerning the field when the people's sheep pastured therein by night, and We were bearers of witness to their Judgement.

فَفَهَّمْنٰهَا سُلَيْمٰنَ‌‌ۚ وَكُلًّا اٰتَيْنَا حُكْمًا وَّعِلْمًا‌ وَّسَخَّرْنَا مَعَ دَاوٗدَ الْجِبَالَ يُسَبِّحْنَ وَالطَّيْرَ‌ ؕ وَكُنَّا فٰعِلِيْنَ‏(79)

(79) So We made Sulaiman to understand it; and to each one We gave wisdom and knowledge; and We made the mountains, and the birds to celebrate Our praise with Dawood; and We were the doers.

وَعَلَّمْنٰهُ صَنْعَةَ لَبُوْسٍ لَّكُمْ لِتُحْصِنَكُمْ مِّنْۢ بَاْسِكُمْ‌ۚ فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ شٰكِرُوْنَ‏(80)

(80) And We taught him the making of coats of mail for you, that they might protect you in your wars; will you then be grateful?

وَلِسُلَيْمٰنَ الرِّيْحَ عَاصِفَةً تَجْرِىْ بِاَمْرِهٖۤ اِلَى الْاَرْضِ الَّتِىْ بٰرَكْنَا فِيْهَا‌ؕ وَكُنَّا بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عٰلِمِيْنَ‏(81)

(81) And (We made subservient) to Sulaiman the wind blowing violent, pursuing its course by his command to the land which We had blessed, and We are knower of all things.

وَمِنَ الشَّيٰطِيْنِ مَنْ يَّغُوْصُوْنَ لَهٗ وَيَعْمَلُوْنَ عَمَلًا دُوْنَ ذٰ لِكَ‌ ۚ وَكُنَّا لَهُمْ حٰفِظِيْنَۙ‏(82)

(82) And of the rebellious people there were those who dived for him and did other work besides that, and We kept guard over them;

وَاَيُّوْبَ اِذْ نَادٰى رَبَّهٗۤ اَنِّىْ مَسَّنِىَ الضُّرُّ وَاَنْتَ اَرْحَمُ الرّٰحِمِيْنَ‌ ۖ‌ۚ‏(83)

(83) And Ayub, when he cried to his Lord, (saying): Harm has afflicted me, and Thou art the most Merciful of the merciful.

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ فَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهٖ مِنْ ضُرٍّ‌ وَّاٰتَيْنٰهُ اَهْلَهٗ و مِثْلَهُمْ مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِنَا وَذِكْرٰى لِلْعٰبِدِيْنَ‏(84)

(84) Therefore We responded to him and took off what harm he had, and We gave him his family and the like of them with them: a mercy from Us and a reminder to the worshippers.

وَاِسْمٰعِيْلَ وَاِدْرِيْسَ وَذَا الْكِفْلِ‌ؕ كُلٌّ مِّنَ الصّٰبِرِيْنَ‌ ۖ‌ۚ‏(85)

(85) And Ismail and Idris and Zulkifl; all were of the patient ones;

وَاَدْخَلْنٰهُمْ فِىْ رَحْمَتِنَا ؕ اِنَّهُمْ مِّنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ‏(86)

(86) And We caused them to enter into Our mercy, surely they were of the good ones.

وَ ذَا النُّوْنِ اِذْ ذَّهَبَ مُغَاضِبًا فَظَنَّ اَنْ لَّنْ نَّقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَادٰى فِى الظُّلُمٰتِ اَنْ لَّاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّاۤ اَنْتَ سُبْحٰنَكَ ‌ۖ  اِنِّىْ كُنْتُ مِنَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ‌ ۖ ‌ۚ‏(87)

(87) And Yunus, when he went away in wrath, so he thought that We would not straiten him, so he called out among afflictions: There is no god but Thou, glory be to Thee; surely I am of those who make themselves to suffer loss.

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗۙ وَنَجَّيْنٰهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ‌ؕ وَكَذٰلِكَ نُنْجِى الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ‏(88)

(88) So We responded to him and delivered him from the grief and thus do We deliver the believers.

وَزَكَرِيَّاۤ اِذْ نَادٰى رَبَّهٗ رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِىْ فَرْدًا وَّاَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْوٰرِثِيْنَ‌ ۖ‌ۚ‏(89)

(89) And Zakariya, when he cried to his Lord: O my Lord leave me not alone; and Thou art the best of inheritors.

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ وَوَهَبْنَا لَهٗ يَحْيٰى وَاَصْلَحْنَا لَهٗ زَوْجَهٗ ‌ؕ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا يُسٰرِعُوْنَ فِىْ الْخَيْرٰتِ وَ يَدْعُوْنَنَا رَغَبًا وَّرَهَبًا ‌ؕ وَكَانُوْا لَنَا خٰشِعِيْنَ‏(90)

(90) So We responded to him and gave him Yahya and made his wife fit for him; surely they used to hasten, one with another In deeds of goodness and to call upon Us, hoping and fearing and they were humble before Us.

وَالَّتِىْۤ اَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيْهَا مِنْ رُّوْحِنَا وَ جَعَلْنٰهَا وَابْنَهَاۤ اٰيَةً لِّلْعٰلَمِيْنَ‏(91)

(91) And she who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into her of Our inspiration and made her and her son a sign for the nations.

اِنَّ هٰذِهٖۤ اُمَّتُكُمْ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً ‌ۖ وَّاَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوْنِ‏(92)

(92) Surely this Islam is your religion, one religion (only), and I am your Lord, therefore serve Me.

وَتَقَطَّعُوْۤا اَمْرَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ‌ؕ كُلٌّ اِلَيْنَا رٰجِعُوْنَ‏(93)

(93) And they broke their religion (into sects) between them: to Us shall all come back.

فَمَنْ يَّعْمَلْ مِنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا كُفْرَانَ لِسَعْيِهٖ‌ۚ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ كٰتِبُوْنَ‏(94)

(94) Therefore whoever shall do of good deeds and he is a believer, there shall be no denying of his exertion, and surely We will write (It) down for him.

وَ حَرٰمٌ عَلٰى قَرْيَةٍ اَهْلَكْنٰهَاۤ اَنَّهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُوْنَ‏(95)

(95) And it is binding on a town which We destroy that they shall not return.

حَتّٰٓى اِذَا فُتِحَتْ يَاْجُوْجُ وَمَاْجُوْجُ وَهُمْ مِّنْ كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَّنْسِلُوْنَ‏(96)

(96) Even when Gog and Magog are let loose and they shall break forth from every elevated place.

وَاقْتَرَبَ الْوَعْدُ الْحَقُّ فَاِذَا هِىَ شَاخِصَةٌ اَبْصَارُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا ؕ يٰوَيْلَنَا قَدْ كُنَّا فِىْ غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ هٰذَا بَلْ كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيْنَ‏(97)

(97) And the true promise shall draw nigh, then lo! the eyes of those who disbelieved shall be fixedly open: O woe to us! surely we were in a state of heedlessness as to this; nay, we were unjust.

اِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَؕ اَنْتُمْ لَهَا وَارِدُوْنَ‏(98)

(98) Surely you and what you worship besides Allah are the firewood of hell; to it you shall come.

لَوْ كَانَ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ اٰلِهَةً مَّا وَرَدُوْهَا‌ ؕ وَكُلٌّ فِيْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ‏(99)

(99) Had these been gods, they would not have come to it and all shall abide therein.

لَهُمْ فِيْهَا زَفِيْرٌ وَّهُمْ فِيْهَا لَا يَسْمَعُوْنَ‏(100)

(100) For them therein shall be groaning and therein they shall not hear.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ سَبَقَتْ لَهُمْ مِّنَّا الْحُسْنٰٓىۙ اُولٰٓئِكَ عَنْهَا مُبْعَدُوْنَۙ‏(101)

(101) Surely (as for) those for whom the good has already gone forth from Us, they shall be kept far off from it;

لَا يَسْمَعُوْنَ حَسِيْسَهَا‌ ۚ وَهُمْ فِىْ مَا اشْتَهَتْ اَنْفُسُهُمْ خٰلِدُوْنَ‌ ۚ‏(102)

(102) They will not hear its faintest sound, and they shall abide in that which their souls long for.

لَا يَحْزُنُهُمُ الْفَزَعُ الْاَكْبَرُ وَتَتَلَقّٰٮهُمُ الْمَلٰٓئِكَةُ ؕ هٰذَا يَوْمُكُمُ الَّذِىْ كُنْتُمْ تُوْعَدُوْنَ‏(103)

(103) The great fearful event shall not grieve them, and the angels shall meet them: This is your day which you were promised.

يَوْمَ نَطْوِىْ السَّمَآءَ كَطَىِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِ‌ ؕ كَمَا بَدَاْنَاۤ اَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُّعِيْدُهٗ‌ ؕ وَعْدًا عَلَيْنَا‌ ؕ اِنَّا كُنَّا فٰعِلِيْنَ‏(104)

(104) On the day when We will roll up heaven like the rolling up of the scroll for writings, as We originated the first creation, (so) We shall reproduce it; a promise (binding on Us); surely We will bring it about.

وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِى الزَّبُوْرِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ اَنَّ الْاَرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِىَ الصّٰلِحُوْنَ‏(105)

(105) And certainly We wrote in the Book after the reminder that (as for) the land, My righteous servants shall inherit it.

اِنَّ فِىْ هٰذَا لَبَلٰغًا لِّقَوْمٍ عٰبِدِيْنَؕ‏(106)

(106) Most surely in this is a message to a people who serve

وَمَاۤ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ اِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعٰلَمِيْنَ‏(107)

(107) And We have not sent you but as a mercy to the worlds.

قُلْ اِنَّمَا يُوْحٰۤى اِلَىَّ اَنَّمَاۤ اِلٰهُكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌ‌ ۚ فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ‏(108)

(108) Say: It is only revealed to me that your Allah is one Allah; will you then submit?

فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ اٰذَنْتُكُمْ عَلٰى سَوَآءٍ ‌ؕ وَاِنْ اَدْرِىْۤ اَقَرِيْبٌ اَمْ بَعِيْدٌ مَّا تُوْعَدُوْنَ‏(109)

(109) But if they turn back, say: I have given you warning in fairness and I do not know whether what you are threatened with is near or far;

اِنَّهٗ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْتُمُوْنَ‏(110)

(110) Surely He knows what is spoken openly and He knows what you hide;

وَاِنْ اَدْرِىْ لَعَلَّهٗ فِتْنَةٌ لَّكُمْ وَمَتَاعٌ اِلٰى حِيْنٍ‏(111)

(111) And I do not know if this may be a trial for you and a provision till a time.

قٰلَ رَبِّ احْكُمْ بِالْحَقِّ‌ؕ وَرَبُّنَا الرَّحْمٰنُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلٰى مَا تَصِفُوْنَ‏(112)

(112) He said: O my Lord! judge Thou with truth; and our Lord is the Beneficent Allah, Whose help is sought against what you ascribe (to Him).
