وَهَدَيْنَـٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ

Wa hadainaahumus Siraatal Mustaqeem

And We Guided them both (to) the Straight Path

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

Wa taraknaa 'alaihimaa fil aakhireen

And upon it, We Left (their mention to be) among the later ones

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ

Salaamun 'alaa Moosaa wa Haaroon

Greetings be upon Musa and Haroun

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen

Surely, like that do we Recompense the good doers

إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Innahumaa min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen

They were both from Our servants, the Momineen

وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa inna Ilyaasa laminal mursaleen

And surely Ilyas was from the Rasools

إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

Iz qaala liqawmiheee alaa tattaqoon

When he said to his people: Will you not be fearing?’

أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَـٰلِقِينَ

Atad'oona Ba'lanw wa tazaroona ahsanal khaaliqeen

You are supplicating to Ba’al and forsaking (leaving) the most excellent Creator,

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Allaaha Rabbakum wa Rabba aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen

Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers, the former ones?’

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

Fakazzaboohu fa inna hum lamuhzaroon

But they belied him, therefore they would be presented (in Hell)

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

Except the sincere servants of Allah

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

And upon it, We Left (his mention to be) among the later ones

Greetings be on Progeny of Yaseen

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Innahoo min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen

He was from Our servants, the Momineen

وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa inna Lootal laminal mursaleen

And surely, Lut was from the Rasools

إِذْ نَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ

Iz najjainaahu wa ahlahooo ajma'een

When We Rescued him and his family altogether

إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ

Illaa 'ajoozan fil ghaabireen

Except an old woman to be among the ones left behind

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

Summa dammarnal aakhareen

Then We Annihilated the others

وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ

Wa innakum latamurroona 'alaihim musbiheen

And you are passing by them in the morning

وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

Wa billail; afalaa ta'qiloon

And at night. So, will you not use your intellects?

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa inna Yoonusa laminal mursaleen

And indeed, Yunus was from the Rasools

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ

Iz abaqa ilal fulkil mash hoon

When he absconded to a fully laden ship

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ

Fasaahama fakaana minal mudhazeen

So, he drew lots with them and he was the one to be thrown off

فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ

Faltaqamahul hootu wa huwa muleem

And the whale swallowed him and he was blameworthy

فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ

Falaw laaa annahoo kaana minal musabbiheen

But had he not been from the Glorifying ones

لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

Lalabisa fee batniheee ilaa Yawmi yub'asoon

He would have remained in its belly up to the Day he would have been Resurrected

۞ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ

Fanabaznaahu bil'araaa'i wa huwa saqeem

Then We had him expelled in the wilderness and he was sick

وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ

Wa ambatnaa 'alaihi shajaratam mai yaqteen

And We Grew a gourd plant to grow for him

وَأَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ

Wa arsalnaahu ilaa mi'ati alfin aw yazeedoon

And We sent him (Younis) to a hundred thousand, or more

فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ

Fa aamanoo famatta' naahum ilaa heen

And they believed, so We Provided for them up to a time

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ

Fastaftihim ali Rabbikal banaatu wa lahumul banoon

Then ask them: ‘Are there daughters for your Lord and for them are the sons?’

أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَـٰثًا وَهُمْ شَـٰهِدُونَ

Am khalaqnal malaaa'i kata inaasanw wa hum shaahidoon

Or did We Create the Angels as females and they are witnesses?

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ

Alaaa innahum min ifkihim la yaqooloon

Indeed! It is from their own falsehood they are saying,

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ

Waladal laahu wa innahum lakaaziboon

‘Allah has begotten, and they are lying’

أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ

Astafal banaati 'alal baneen

Did He Choose the daughter over the sons?

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ

Maa lakum kaifa tahkumoon

What is the matter with you all? How are you judging?

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Afalaa tazakkaroon

Will you not then not heed?

أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌ مُّبِينٌ

Am lakum sultaanum mubeen

Or is there a clear Authorisation for you?

فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

Faatoo bi Kitaabikum in kuntum saadiqeen

Then come with your Book, if you are truthful

وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

Wa ja'aloo bainahoo wa bainal jinnati nasabaa; wa laqad 'alimatil jinnatu innahum lamuhzaroon

And they are asserting a link between Him and the Jinn, and the Jinn do know that they would be presented (before their Lord)

سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Subhaanal laahi 'ammaa yasifoon

Glory be to Allah from what they are ascribing

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

Except the sincere servants of Allah

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ

Fa innakum wa maa ta'budoon

So, you and what you are worshipping

مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَـٰتِنِينَ

Maaa antum 'alaihi bi faaatineen

You cannot cause discord against Him

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Illaa man huwa saalil jaheem

Except one who would be arriving to the Blazing Fire

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ

Wa maa minnaaa illaa lahoo maqaamun ma'loom

(Jibraeel said): ‘And there is none of us except for him is a known place

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

Wa innaa lanah nus saaffoon

And indeed, we are the ones arranged in rows

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ

Wa innaa lanah nul musabbihoon

And indeed were the ones Glorifying’

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ

Wa in kaanoo la yaqooloon

And they (Quraysh) were saying,

لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Law anna 'indanaa zikram minal awwaleen

‘If only there had been Zikr in our presence from the former ones

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

Lakunna 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

We would have been the sincere servants of Allah’

فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

Fakafaroo bihee fasawfa ya'lamoon

But they committed Kufr with it, therefore soon they would come to know

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa laqad sabaqat Kalimatunaa li'ibaadinal mursa leen

And Our Word had preceded to Our servants, the Rasools

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ

Innaa hum lahumul mansooroon

Surely, for them would be the Helped ones

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ

Wa inna jundana lahumul ghaaliboon

And certainly, Our army, for them would be the victory achievers

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

Fatawalla 'anhum hatta heen

So, turn away from them for a while

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

Wa absirhum fasawfa yubsiroon

And see them, for soon they would be seeing

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

Afabi'azaabinaa yasta'jiloon

Is it with Our Punishment they are hastening?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ

Fa izaa nazala bisaahatihim fasaaa'a sabaahul munzareen

But when it does descend in their territory, then evil would be the morning of the warned ones

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

Wa tawalla 'anhum hattaa heen

And turn away from them for a while

وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

Wa absir fasawfa yubsiroon

And see, for soon they would be seeing

سُبْحَـٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Subhaana Rabbika Rabbil 'izzati 'amma yasifoon

Glorious is your Lord, the Lord of Might, from what they are ascribing

وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa salaamun 'alalmursaleen

And greetings be upon the Rasools

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Walhamdu lillaahi Rabbil 'aalameen

And the Praise is for Allah, Lord of the Worlds
