Surah 15 الحجر

إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ Verse 9

Lo! We, even We, reveal the Reminder, and lo! We verily are its Guardian.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِي شِيَعِ الْأَوَّلِينَ Verse 10

We verily sent (messengers) before thee among the factions of the men of old.

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ Verse 11

And never came there unto them a messenger but they did mock him.

كَذَٰلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ Verse 12

Thus do We make it traverse the hearts of the guilty:

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ ۖ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ الْأَوَّلِينَ Verse 13

They believe not therein, though the example of the men of old hath gone before.

وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ فَظَلُّوا فِيهِ يَعْرُجُونَ Verse 14

And even if We opened unto them a gate of heaven and they kept mounting through it,

لَقَالُوا إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَارُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَّسْحُورُونَ Verse 15

They would say: Our sight is wrong - nay, but we are folk bewitched.

وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِي السَّمَاءِ بُرُوجًا وَزَيَّنَّاهَا لِلنَّاظِرِينَ Verse 16

And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of the stars, and We have beautified it for beholders.

وَحَفِظْنَاهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ رَّجِيمٍ Verse 17

And We have guarded it from every outcast devil,

إِلَّا مَنِ اسْتَرَقَ السَّمْعَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ مُّبِينٌ Verse 18

Save him who stealeth the hearing, and them doth a clear flame pursue.

وَالْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَاهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مَّوْزُونٍ Verse 19

And the earth have We spread out, and placed therein firm hills, and caused each seemly thing to grow therein.

وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَايِشَ وَمَن لَّسْتُمْ لَهُ بِرَازِقِينَ Verse 20

And we have given unto you livelihoods therein, and unto those for whom ye provide not.

وَإِن مِّن شَيْءٍ إِلَّا عِندَنَا خَزَائِنُهُ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ Verse 21

And there is not a thing but with Us are the stores thereof. And we send it not down save in appointed measure.

وَأَرْسَلْنَا الرِّيَاحَ لَوَاقِحَ فَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَسْقَيْنَاكُمُوهُ وَمَا أَنتُمْ لَهُ بِخَازِنِينَ Verse 22

And We send the winds fertilising, and cause water to descend from the sky, and give it you to drink. It is not ye who are the holders of the store thereof.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْيِي وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحْنُ الْوَارِثُونَ Verse 23

Lo! and it is We, even We, Who quicken and give death, and We are the Inheritor.

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَأْخِرِينَ Verse 24

And verily We know the eager among you and verily We know the laggards.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ Verse 25

Lo! thy Lord will gather them together. Lo! He is Wise, Aware.

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ مِن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ Verse 26

Verily We created man of potter's clay of black mud altered,

وَالْجَانَّ خَلَقْنَاهُ مِن قَبْلُ مِن نَّارِ السَّمُومِ Verse 27

And the jinn did We create aforetime of essential fire.

وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنِّي خَالِقٌ بَشَرًا مِّن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ Verse 28

And (remember) when thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am creating a mortal out of potter's clay of black mud altered,

فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ Verse 29

So, when I have made him and have breathed into him of My Spirit, do ye fall down, prostrating yourselves unto him.

فَسَجَدَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ Verse 30

So the angels fell prostrate, all of them together

إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ Verse 31

Save Iblis. He refused to be among the prostrate.

قَالَ يَا إِبْلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ Verse 32

He said: O Iblis! What aileth thee that thou art not among the prostrate?

قَالَ لَمْ أَكُن لِّأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُ مِن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ Verse 33

He said: I am not one to prostrate myself unto a mortal whom Thou hast created out of potter's clay of black mud altered!

قَالَ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ Verse 34

He said: Then go thou forth from hence, for lo! thou art outcast.

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ اللَّعْنَةَ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ Verse 35

And lo! the curse shall be upon thee till the Day of Judgment.

قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرْنِي إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ Verse 36

He said: My Lord! Reprieve me till the day when they are raised.

قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنظَرِينَ Verse 37

He said: Then lo! thou art of those reprieved

إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُومِ Verse 38

Till the Day of appointed time.

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَا أَغْوَيْتَنِي لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ Verse 39

He said: My Lord! Because Thou hast sent me astray, I verily shall adorn the path of error for them in the earth, and shall mislead them every one,

إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِينَ Verse 40

Save such of them as are Thy perfectly devoted slaves.

قَالَ هَـٰذَا صِرَاطٌ عَلَيَّ مُسْتَقِيمٌ Verse 41

He said: This is a right course incumbent upon Me:

إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَانٌ إِلَّا مَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْغَاوِينَ Verse 42

Lo! as for My slaves, thou hast no power over any of them save such of the froward as follow thee,

وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ Verse 43

And lo! for all such, hell will be the promised place.

لَهَا سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَابٍ لِّكُلِّ بَابٍ مِّنْهُمْ جُزْءٌ مَّقْسُومٌ Verse 44

It hath seven gates, and each gate hath an appointed portion.

إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ Verse 45

Lo! those who ward off (evil) are among gardens and watersprings.

ادْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَامٍ آمِنِينَ Verse 46

(And it is said unto them): Enter them in peace, secure.

وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِي صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ إِخْوَانًا عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَابِلِينَ Verse 47

And We remove whatever rancour may be in their breasts. As brethren, face to face, (they rest) on couches raised.

لَا يَمَسُّهُمْ فِيهَا نَصَبٌ وَمَا هُم مِّنْهَا بِمُخْرَجِينَ Verse 48

Toil cometh not unto them there, nor will they be expelled from thence.

نَبِّئْ عِبَادِي أَنِّي أَنَا الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ Verse 49

Announce, (O Muhammad) unto My slaves that verily I am the Forgiving, the Merciful,

وَأَنَّ عَذَابِي هُوَ الْعَذَابُ الْأَلِيمُ Verse 50

And that My doom is the dolorous doom.

وَنَبِّئْهُمْ عَن ضَيْفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ Verse 51

And tell them of Abraham's guests,

إِذْ دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا سَلَامًا قَالَ إِنَّا مِنكُمْ وَجِلُونَ Verse 52

(How) when they came in unto him, and said: Peace. He said: Lo! we are afraid of you.

قَالُوا لَا تَوْجَلْ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَامٍ عَلِيمٍ Verse 53

They said: Be not afraid! Lo! we bring thee good tidings of a boy possessing wisdom.

قَالَ أَبَشَّرْتُمُونِي عَلَىٰ أَن مَّسَّنِيَ الْكِبَرُ فَبِمَ تُبَشِّرُونَ Verse 54

He said: Bring ye me good tidings (of a son) when old age hath overtaken me? Of what then can ye bring good tidings?

قَالُوا بَشَّرْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ فَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ الْقَانِطِينَ Verse 55

They said: We bring thee good tidings in truth. So be not thou of the despairing.

قَالَ وَمَن يَقْنَطُ مِن رَّحْمَةِ رَبِّهِ إِلَّا الضَّالُّونَ Verse 56

He said: And who despaireth of the mercy of his Lord save those who are astray?

قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ Verse 57

He said: And afterward what is your business, O ye messengers (of Allah)?

قَالُوا إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ Verse 58

They said: We have been sent unto a guilty folk,

إِلَّا آلَ لُوطٍ إِنَّا لَمُنَجُّوهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ Verse 59

(All) save the family of Lot. Them we shall deliver every one,

إِلَّا امْرَأَتَهُ قَدَّرْنَا ۙ إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ الْغَابِرِينَ Verse 60

Except his wife, of whom We had decreed that she should be of those who stay behind.

فَلَمَّا جَاءَ آلَ لُوطٍ الْمُرْسَلُونَ Verse 61

And when the messengers came unto the family of Lot,

قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ Verse 62

He said: Lo! ye are folk unknown (to me).

قَالُوا بَلْ جِئْنَاكَ بِمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ Verse 63

They said: Nay, but we bring thee that concerning which they keep disputing,

وَأَتَيْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّا لَصَادِقُونَ Verse 64

And bring thee the Truth, and lo! we are truth-tellers.

فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ وَاتَّبِعْ أَدْبَارَهُمْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ وَامْضُوا حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُونَ Verse 65

So travel with thy household in a portion of the night, and follow thou their backs. Let none of you turn round, but go whither ye are commanded.

وَقَضَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ ذَٰلِكَ الْأَمْرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ مَقْطُوعٌ مُّصْبِحِينَ Verse 66

And We made plain the case to him, that the root of them (who did wrong) was to be cut at early morn.

وَجَاءَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ Verse 67

And the people of the city came, rejoicing at the news (of new arrivals).

قَالَ إِنَّ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ ضَيْفِي فَلَا تَفْضَحُونِ Verse 68

He said: Lo! they are my guests. Affront me not!

وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُخْزُونِ Verse 69

And keep your duty to Allah, and shame me not!

قَالُوا أَوَلَمْ نَنْهَكَ عَنِ الْعَالَمِينَ Verse 70

They said; Have we not forbidden you from (entertaining) anyone?

قَالَ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ بَنَاتِي إِن كُنتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ Verse 71

He said: Here are my daughters, if ye must be doing (so).

لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِي سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ Verse 72

By thy life (O Muhammad) they moved blindly in the frenzy of approaching death.

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِينَ Verse 73

Then the (Awful) Cry overtook them at the sunrise.

فَجَعَلْنَا عَالِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ Verse 74

And We utterly confounded them, and We rained upon them stones of heated clay.

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ Verse 75

Lo! therein verily are portents for those who read the signs.

وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍ مُّقِيمٍ Verse 76

And lo! it is upon a road still uneffaced.

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ Verse 77

Lo! therein is indeed a portent for believers.

وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ لَظَالِمِينَ Verse 78

And the dwellers in the wood indeed were evil-doers.

فَانتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ Verse 79

So we took vengeance on them; and lo! they both are on a high-road plain to see.

وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَابُ الْحِجْرِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ Verse 80

And the dwellers in Al-Hijr denied (Our) messengers.

وَآتَيْنَاهُمْ آيَاتِنَا فَكَانُوا عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ Verse 81

And we gave them Our revelations, but they were averse to them.

وَكَانُوا يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا آمِنِينَ Verse 82

And they used to hew out dwellings from the hills, (wherein they dwelt) secure.

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِينَ Verse 83

But the (Awful) Cry overtook them at the morning hour,

فَمَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ Verse 84

And that which they were wont to count as gain availed them not.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَآتِيَةٌ ۖ فَاصْفَحِ الصَّفْحَ الْجَمِيلَ Verse 85

We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them save with truth, and lo! the Hour is surely coming. So forgive, (O Muhammad), with a gracious forgiveness.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْخَلَّاقُ الْعَلِيمُ Verse 86

Lo! Thy Lord! He is the All-Wise Creator.

وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ Verse 87

We have given thee seven of the oft-repeated (verses) and the great Qur'an.

لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ Verse 88

Strain not thine eyes toward that which We cause some wedded pairs among them to enjoin, and be not grieved on their account, and lower thy wing (in tenderness) for the believers.

وَقُلْ إِنِّي أَنَا النَّذِيرُ الْمُبِينُ Verse 89

And say: Lo! I, even I, am a plain warner,

كَمَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى الْمُقْتَسِمِينَ Verse 90

Such as We send down for those who make division,

الَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا الْقُرْآنَ عِضِينَ Verse 91

Those who break the Qur'an into parts.

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْأَلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ Verse 92

Them, by thy Lord, We shall question, every one,

عَمَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ Verse 93

Of what they used to do.

فَاصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ Verse 94

So proclaim that which thou art commanded, and withdraw from the idolaters.

إِنَّا كَفَيْنَاكَ الْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ Verse 95

Lo! We defend thee from the scoffers,

الَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا آخَرَ ۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ Verse 96

Who set some other god along with Allah. But they will come to know.

وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ Verse 97

Well know We that thy bosom is oppressed by what they say,

فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ السَّاجِدِينَ Verse 98

But hymn the praise of thy Lord, and be of those who make prostration (unto Him).

وَاعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ الْيَقِينُ Verse 99

And serve thy Lord till the Inevitable cometh unto thee.
