Sura Al Qalam 68

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Bismi Allahi alrrahmani alrraheemi بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِِ
68:1 Nun. By the pen and that which they write (therewith), Noon waalqalami wama yasturoona ن وَالْقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسْطُرُونَ
68:2 Thou art not, for thy Lord's favour unto thee, a madman. Ma anta biniAAmati rabbika bimajnoonin مَا أَنتَ بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجْنُونٍ
68:3 And lo! thine verily will be a reward unfailing. Wa-inna laka laajran ghayra mamnoonin وَإِنَّ لَكَ لَأَجْرًا غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍ
68:4 And lo! thou art of a tremendous nature. Wa-innaka laAAala khuluqin AAatheemin وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلى خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ
68:5 And thou wilt see and they will see Fasatubsiru wayubsiroona فَسَتُبْصِرُ وَيُبْصِرُونَ
68:6 Which of you is the demented. Bi-ayyikumu almaftoonu بِأَييِّكُمُ الْمَفْتُونُ
68:7 Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth from His way, and He is Best Aware of those who walk aright. Inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu biman dalla AAan sabeelihi wahuwa aAAlamu bialmuhtadeena إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ
68:8 Therefor obey not thou the rejecters Fala tutiAAi almukaththibeena فَلَا تُطِعِ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ
68:9 Who would have had thee compromise, that they may compromise. Waddoo law tudhinu fayudhinoona وَدُّوا لَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ
68:10 Neither obey thou each feeble oath-monger, Wala tutiAA kulla hallafin maheenin وَلَا تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلَّافٍ مَّهِينٍ
68:11 Detracter, spreader abroad of slanders, Hammazin mashsha-in binameemin هَمَّازٍ مَّشَّاء بِنَمِيمٍ
68:12 Hinderer of the good, transgressor, malefactor MannaAAin lilkhayri muAAtadin atheemin مَنَّاعٍ لِّلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
68:13 Greedy therewithal, intrusive. AAutullin baAAda thalika zaneemin عُتُلٍّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ زَنِيمٍ
68:14 It is because he is possessed of wealth and children An kana tha malin wabaneena أَن كَانَ ذَا مَالٍ وَبَنِينَ
68:15 That, when Our revelations are recited unto him, he saith: Mere fables of the men of old. Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru al-awwaleena إِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
68:16 We shall brand him on the nose. Sanasimuhu AAala alkhurtoomi سَنَسِمُهُ عَلَى الْخُرْطُومِ
68:17 Lo! We have tried them as We tried the owners of the garden when they vowed that they would pluck its fruit next morning, Inna balawnahum kama balawna as-haba aljannati ith aqsamoo layasrimunnaha musbiheena إِنَّا بَلَوْنَاهُمْ كَمَا بَلَوْنَا أَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِ إِذْ أَقْسَمُوا لَيَصْرِمُنَّهَا مُصْبِحِينَ
68:18 And made no exception (for the Will of Allah); Wala yastathnoona وَلَا يَسْتَثْنُونَ
68:19 Then a visitation from thy Lord came upon it while they slept Fatafa AAalayha ta-ifun min rabbika wahum na-imoona فَطَافَ عَلَيْهَا طَائِفٌ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَهُمْ نَائِمُونَ
68:20 And in the morning it was as if plucked. Faasbahat kaalssareemi فَأَصْبَحَتْ كَالصَّرِيمِ
68:21 And they cried out one unto another in the morning, Fatanadaw musbiheena فَتَنَادَوا مُصْبِحِينَ
68:22 Saying: Run unto your field if ye would pluck (the fruit). Ani ighdoo AAala harthikum in kuntum sarimeena أَنِ اغْدُوا عَلَى حَرْثِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَارِمِينَ
68:23 So they went off, saying one unto another in low tones: Faintalaqoo wahum yatakhafatoona فَانطَلَقُوا وَهُمْ يَتَخَافَتُونَ
68:24 No needy man shall enter it to-day against you. An la yadkhulannaha alyawma AAalaykum miskeenun أَن لَّا يَدْخُلَنَّهَا الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكُم مِّسْكِينٌ
68:25 They went betimes, strong in (this) purpose. Waghadaw AAala hardin qadireena وَغَدَوْا عَلَى حَرْدٍ قَادِرِينَ
68:26 But when they saw it, they said: Lo! we are in error! Falamma raawha qaloo inna ladalloona فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهَا قَالُوا إِنَّا لَضَالُّونَ
68:27 Nay, but we are desolate! Bal nahnu mahroomoona بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ
68:28 The best among them said: Said I not unto you: Why glorify ye not (Allah) ? Qala awsatuhum alam aqul lakum lawla tusabbihoona قَالَ أَوْسَطُهُمْ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ لَوْلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ
68:29 They said: Glorified be our Lord! Lo! we have been wrong-doers. Qaloo subhana rabbina inna kunna thalimeena قَالُوا سُبْحَانَ رَبِّنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ
68:30 Then some of them drew near unto others, self-reproaching. Faaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatalawamoona فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ يَتَلَاوَمُونَ
68:31 They said: Alas for us! In truth we were outrageous. Qaloo ya waylana inna kunna tagheena قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا طَاغِينَ
68:32 It may be that our Lord will give us better than this in place thereof. Lo! we beseech our Lord. AAasa rabbuna an yubdilana khayran minha inna ila rabbina raghiboona عَسَى رَبُّنَا أَن يُبْدِلَنَا خَيْرًا مِّنْهَا إِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا رَاغِبُونَ
68:33 Such was the punishment. And verily the punishment of the Hereafter is greater if they did but know. Kathalika alAAathabu walaAAathabu al-akhirati akbaru law kanoo yaAAlamoona كَذَلِكَ الْعَذَابُ وَلَعَذَابُ الْآخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ
68:34 Lo! for those who keep from evil are gardens of bliss with their Lord. Inna lilmuttaqeena AAinda rabbihim jannati alnnaAAeemi إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ
68:35 Shall We then treat those who have surrendered as We treat the guilty ? AfanajAAalu almuslimeena kaalmujrimeena أَفَنَجْعَلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَالْمُجْرِمِينَ
68:36 What aileth you ? How foolishly ye judge! Ma lakum kayfa tahkumoona مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
68:37 Or have ye a scripture wherein ye learn Am lakum kitabun feehi tadrusoona أَمْ لَكُمْ كِتَابٌ فِيهِ تَدْرُسُونَ
68:38 That ye shall indeed have all that ye choose ? Inna lakum feehi lama takhayyaroona إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِيهِ لَمَا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ
68:39 Or have ye a covenant on oath from Us that reacheth to the Day of Judgment, that yours shall be all that ye ordain ? Am lakum aymanun AAalayna balighatun ila yawmi alqiyamati inna lakum lama tahkumoona أَمْ لَكُمْ أَيْمَانٌ عَلَيْنَا بَالِغَةٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّ لَكُمْ لَمَا تَحْكُمُونَ
68:40 Ask them (O Muhammad) which of them will vouch for that! Salhum ayyuhum bithalika zaAAeemun سَلْهُم أَيُّهُم بِذَلِكَ زَعِيمٌ
68:41 Or have they other gods ? Then let them bring their other gods if they are truthful Am lahum shurakao falya/too bishuraka-ihim in kanoo sadiqeena أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَاء فَلْيَأْتُوا بِشُرَكَائِهِمْ إِن كَانُوا صَادِقِينَ
68:42 On the day when it befalleth in earnest, and they are ordered to prostrate themselves but are not able, Yawma yukshafu AAan saqin wayudAAawna ila alssujoodi fala yastateeAAoona يَوْمَ يُكْشَفُ عَن سَاقٍ وَيُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى السُّجُودِ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ
68:43 With eyes downcast, abasement stupefying them. And they had been summoned to prostrate themselves while they were yet unhurt. KhashiAAatan absaruhum tarhaquhum thillatun waqad kanoo yudAAawna ila alssujoodi wahum salimoona خَاشِعَةً أَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ وَقَدْ كَانُوا يُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى السُّجُودِ وَهُمْ سَالِمُونَ
68:44 Leave Me (to deal) with those who give the lie to this pronouncement. We shall lead them on by steps from whence they know not. Fatharnee waman yukaththibu bihatha alhadeethi sanastadrijuhum min haythu la yaAAlamoona فَذَرْنِي وَمَن يُكَذِّبُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
68:45 Yet I bear with them, for lo! My scheme is firm. Waomlee lahum inna kaydee mateenun وَأُمْلِي لَهُمْ إِنَّ كَيْدِي مَتِينٌ
68:46 Or dost thou (Muhammad) ask a fee from them so that they are heavily taxed ? Am tas-aluhum ajran fahum min maghramin muthqaloona أَمْ تَسْأَلُهُمْ أَجْرًا فَهُم مِّن مَّغْرَمٍ مُّثْقَلُونَ
68:47 Or is the Unseen theirs that they can write (thereof) ? Am AAindahumu alghaybu fahum yaktuboona أَمْ عِندَهُمُ الْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ
68:48 But wait thou for thy Lord's decree, and be not like him of the fish, who cried out in despair. Faisbir lihukmi rabbika wala takun kasahibi alhooti ith nada wahuwa makthoomun فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُن كَصَاحِبِ الْحُوتِ إِذْ نَادَى وَهُوَ مَكْظُومٌ
68:49 Had it not been that favour from his Lord had reached him he surely had been cast into the wilderness while he was reprobate. Lawla an tadarakahu niAAmatun min rabbihi lanubitha bialAAara-i wahuwa mathmoomun لَوْلَا أَن تَدَارَكَهُ نِعْمَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ لَنُبِذَ بِالْعَرَاء وَهُوَ مَذْمُومٌ
68:50 But his Lord chose him and placed him among the righteous. Faijtabahu rabbuhu fajaAAalahu mina alssaliheena فَاجْتَبَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَجَعَلَهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ
68:51 And lo! those who disbelieve would fain disconcert thee with their eyes when they hear the Reminder, and they say: Lo! he is indeed mad; Wa-in yakadu allatheena kafaroo layuzliqoonaka bi-absarihim lamma samiAAoo alththikra wayaqooloona innahu lamajnoonun وَإِن يَكَادُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا الذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُ لَمَجْنُونٌ
68:52 When it is naught else than a Reminder to creation. Wama huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ
