The Valley of Hijr -Al-Hijr |
|
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful |
|
1 |
|
[ 15. 1 ] AlifLaamRa. Those are the verses of the Book, the Clear Koran. |
|
2 |
|
[ 15. 2 ] It could be that those who disbelieve will wish that they were Muslims. |
|
3 |
|
[ 15. 3 ] Let them eat and enjoy; and let their hopes deceive them, soon they shall know. |
|
4 |
|
[ 15. 4 ] We never destroyed a village whose term had not already been decreed. |
|
5 |
|
[ 15. 5 ] No nation can outstrip its term, nor do they put it back. |
|
6 |
|
[ 15. 6 ] They say: 'You to whom the Remembrance is sent down, you are indeed mad. |
|
7 |
|
[ 15. 7 ] Why do you not bring down the angels, if what you say is true.' |
|
8 |
|
[ 15. 8 ] We do not send angels except with the truth. Then they shall have no respite. |
|
9 |
|
[ 15. 9 ] It is We who sent down the Koran, and We watch over it. |
|
10 |
|
[ 15. 10 ] We have sent forth before you Messengers among the factions of the ancients. |
|
11 |
|
[ 15. 11 ] But no Messenger came to them except he was mocked. |
|
12 |
|
[ 15. 12 ] So We make it enter the hearts of the sinners. |
|
13 |
|
[ 15. 13 ] They do not believe in it even though the practice of the ancients has already gone. |
|
14 |
|
[ 15. 14 ] If We opened a gate in the heaven and they kept ascending through it, |
|
15 |
|
[ 15. 15 ] still they would say: 'Our eyes were dazzled; truly, we must have been a bewitched people.' |
|
16 |
|
[ 15. 16 ] We have set constellations in the heavens and made them pleasing to the beholders, |
|
17 |
|
[ 15. 17 ] and guarded them from every stoned satan. |
|
18 |
|
[ 15. 18 ] Except for he who steals the listening and is then pursued by a visible flame. |
|
19 |
|
[ 15. 19 ] We have spread out the earth and set upon it firm mountains. Everything We have caused to grow therein is justly weighed; |
|
20 |
|
[ 15. 20 ] and there appointed for you is a livelihood, and for those you do not provide. |
|
21 |
|
[ 15. 21 ] And there is not a thing but with Us are its treasuries, and We do not send it down except in a known measure. |
|
22 |
|
[ 15. 22 ] We send the winds fertilizing, and We send down out of heaven water, from which you drink and you are not its treasurers. |
|
23 |
|
[ 15. 23 ] And surely, it is We who give life and make to die. We are the Inheritor. |
|
24 |
|
[ 15. 24 ] We know those of you who press forward, and We know the laggards, |
|
25 |
|
[ 15. 25 ] and it is your Lord who will gather them. He is Wise, Knowing. |
|
26 |
|
[ 15. 26 ] We created mankind from clay, molded from mud, |
|
27 |
|
[ 15. 27 ] and before him We created the jinn from smokeless fire. |
|
28 |
|
[ 15. 28 ] When your Lord said to the angels: 'See, I am creating a mortal from clay of molded mud. |
|
29 |
|
[ 15. 29 ] When I have shaped him and ran My created soul in him fall down prostrating towards him'. |
|
30 |
|
[ 15. 30 ] All the angels prostrated themselves, |
|
31 |
|
[ 15. 31 ] except iblis ( father of the jinn ) who refused to be one of those who prostrated themselves. |
|
32 |
|
[ 15. 32 ] He said: 'iblis, what is the matter with you, that you do you not prostrate yourself?' |
|
33 |
|
[ 15. 33 ] He replied: 'I will not prostrate to a mortal You have created of clay, from molded mud.' |
|
34 |
|
[ 15. 34 ] ( Allah ) said: 'Begone, you are accursed! |
|
35 |
|
[ 15. 35 ] A curse shall be on you till the Day of Recompense.' |
|
36 |
|
[ 15. 36 ] He said: 'My Lord, reprieve me till the Day they are raised.' |
|
37 |
|
[ 15. 37 ] He answered: 'You are among those reprieved |
|
38 |
|
[ 15. 38 ] till the appointed time. |
|
39 |
|
[ 15. 39 ] ( satan ) said: 'My Lord, for Your perverting me, I shall make ( matters ) in the earth seem most fair to them and I shall pervert all, |
|
40 |
|
[ 15. 40 ] except the devoted amongst Your worshippers. |
|
41 |
|
[ 15. 41 ] He ( Allah ) said: 'This is for Me the Right Path |
|
42 |
|
[ 15. 42 ] over My worshipers you have no authority, except the perverse that follow you. |
|
43 |
|
[ 15. 43 ] Gehenna ( Hell ) will be the promise for all of them. |
|
44 |
|
[ 15. 44 ] It has seven gates, and through each gate a portion of them belong. |
|
45 |
|
[ 15. 45 ] But the cautious shall live amongst gardens and fountains: |
|
46 |
|
[ 15. 46 ] 'In peace and security, enter them!' |
|
47 |
|
[ 15. 47 ] We shall remove all rancor from their hearts, and as brethren they shall recline on couches face to face. |
|
48 |
|
[ 15. 48 ] There, no fatigue shall smite them, nor shall they ever be driven from it.' |
|
49 |
|
[ 15. 49 ] Tell My worshipers that I am the Forgiving, the Most Merciful, |
|
50 |
|
[ 15. 50 ] and that My punishment is the painful chastisement. |
|
51 |
|
[ 15. 51 ] Tell them of Abraham's guests. |
|
52 |
|
[ 15. 52 ] They entered to him and said: 'Peace,' but he replied: 'We are afraid of you.' |
|
53 |
|
[ 15. 53 ] 'Do not be afraid,' they answered. 'We come to give you glad tidings of a knowledgeable child.' |
|
54 |
|
[ 15. 54 ] He said: 'What is this, do you bring me glad tidings even though I am old?' Of what do you give me glad tidings?' |
|
55 |
|
[ 15. 55 ] They replied: 'In truth we have given you glad tidings, do not be one of those who despair.' |
|
56 |
|
[ 15. 56 ] He replied: 'And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord, except those that are astray? |
|
57 |
|
[ 15. 57 ] He asked: 'Messengers, what is your errand?' |
|
58 |
|
[ 15. 58 ] They replied: 'We are sent to sinful nation. |
|
59 |
|
[ 15. 59 ] Except Lot's family, of whom we shall save all, |
|
60 |
|
[ 15. 60 ] but his wife. We decreed that she should be amongst those who remain behind. |
|
61 |
|
[ 15. 61 ] And when the envoys came to the family of Lot, |
|
62 |
|
[ 15. 62 ] he said to them: 'I do not know you.' |
|
63 |
|
[ 15. 63 ] 'No,' they replied: 'We bring you ( news ) of that concerning which they were doubting. |
|
64 |
|
[ 15. 64 ] We bring you the truth, and indeed we are truthful. |
|
65 |
|
[ 15. 65 ] Depart with your family in a part of the night and walk behind them and let none of you turn round. Go to a place where you are commanded.' |
|
66 |
|
[ 15. 66 ] And We made known to him this decree that the wrongdoers were to be utterly cut off in the morning. |
|
67 |
|
[ 15. 67 ] The people of the city came to him rejoicing. |
|
68 |
|
[ 15. 68 ] He said: 'These are my guests; do not shame me. |
|
69 |
|
[ 15. 69 ] Fear Allah and do not disgrace me.' |
|
70 |
|
[ 15. 70 ] They replied: 'Have we not forbidden you ( the people of ) the worlds?' |
|
71 |
|
[ 15. 71 ] He said: 'Here are my daughters; take them ( in marriage ), if you would be doing.' |
|
72 |
|
[ 15. 72 ] By your life, they wandered blindly in their dazzlement. |
|
73 |
|
[ 15. 73 ] At sunrise a dreadful Shout seized them. |
|
74 |
|
[ 15. 74 ] We laid it ( the city ) upside down and rained stones of baked clay upon them. |
|
75 |
|
[ 15. 75 ] Surely, in that there are signs for those who contemplate. |
|
76 |
|
[ 15. 76 ] Indeed, it is on a way which still exists. |
|
77 |
|
[ 15. 77 ] Surely, in that there is a sign for those who believe. |
|
78 |
|
[ 15. 78 ] The dwellers of the Thicket were harmdoers. |
|
79 |
|
[ 15. 79 ] On them, too, We took vengeance, and they are both on a clear roadway. |
|
80 |
|
[ 15. 80 ] And the dwellers of Al Hijr also belied the Messengers. |
|
81 |
|
[ 15. 81 ] We brought them signs, but they turned away. |
|
82 |
|
[ 15. 82 ] They hewed their dwellings out of the mountains in safety. |
|
83 |
|
[ 15. 83 ] But the Shout seized them in the morning, |
|
84 |
|
[ 15. 84 ] and that which they had earned did not help them. |
|
85 |
|
[ 15. 85 ] We did not create the heavens and the earth, and what is between them except in truth. The Hour is sure to come, therefore, forgive them with a gracious pardon. |
|
86 |
|
[ 15. 86 ] Your Lord is the Creator, the Knower. |
|
87 |
|
[ 15. 87 ] We have given you the seven dual ( verses, Al Fatihah ) and the Mighty Holy Reading ( Koran ). |
|
88 |
|
[ 15. 88 ] Do not stretch your eyes to that We have given pairs of them to enjoy, nor sorrow for them, and lower your wing to the believers. |
|
89 |
|
[ 15. 89 ] And say: 'I am the plain warner.' |
|
90 |
|
[ 15. 90 ] So We sent it down to the partitioners, |
|
91 |
|
[ 15. 91 ] who have broken the Koran into parts, |
|
92 |
|
[ 15. 92 ] so by your Lord, We will question them all |
|
93 |
|
[ 15. 93 ] about what they did. |
|
94 |
|
[ 15. 94 ] Proclaim then, what you are commanded and turn away from the unbelievers. |
|
95 |
|
[ 15. 95 ] We suffice you against those who mock, |
|
96 |
|
[ 15. 96 ] and those who set up other gods with Allah, indeed, they will soon know. |
|
97 |
|
[ 15. 97 ] Indeed, We know your chest is straitened by that they say. |
|
98 |
|
[ 15. 98 ] Exalt with the praise of your Lord and be one of those who prostrate. |
|
99 |
|
[ 15. 99 ] Worship your Lord till the certainty ( death ) comes to you. |
