AL-HIJR (15)
Al-Hijr
Revealed at Mecca, Verses: 99
In the name of Allah, The Merciful, The
All-merciful
- Alif Lam Ra (A.L.R.) __ these are
the Signs of the Book and of a Clear Reading (Qur'an).(1)
- The unbelievers will sometime wish that
they had surrendered.(2)
- Leave them to eat and enjoy and let their
hopes delude them, for they will soon know!(3)
- And whatever city We destroyed, there was
a known decree for it.(4)
- No community precedes its term, nor does
it put it back.(5)
- And they say, `thou, on whom the Admonition
is sent down, thou art surely mad.(6)
- Why dost thou not bring us the angels,
if thou art of the truthful?'(7)
- We send not down the angels but with truth,
and then they are not respited.(8)
- It is We who have sent down the Admonition,
and We are surely its guardians.(9)
- And indeed We sent Messengers before thee
among the ancient sects.(10)
- And no Messenger came to them but they
mocked at him.(11)
- Even so We cause it to enter into the hearts
of the sinners __ (12)
- they do not believe in it, and the tradition
of the ancients is already gone.(13)
- And even if We opened to them a gate in
the heaven, and they kept ascending through it,(14)
- they would surely say, `only our eyes have
been dazzled; no, we are a bewitched people'.(15)
- And We have set constellations in the heaven
and adorned them for the beholders,(16)
- and We have guarded it from every outcast
devil,(17)
- except him who listens by stealth then
a visible flame follows him.(18)
- And the earth, We have spread it out, and
cast therein firm mountains, and caused to grow therein everything duly
weighed.(19)
- And We have made therein livelihood for
you and for those you provide not.(20)
- There is not a thing but We have its treasures,
yet We send it down only in a known measure.(21)
- And We loose fertilising winds, then send
down water from heaven, then give it to you to drink; and you are no treasurers
of it.(22)
- And it is We who give life and make to
die, and We are the inheritors.(23)
- And We know those of you who have gone
before, and We know those who lag behind.(24)
- And it is thy Lord who shall muster them;
surely He is Wise, Knowing.(25)
- And surely We created man from dried clay
of moulded mud;(26)
- and the jinn, we created before, of flaming
fire.(27)
- And when thy Lord said to the angels, `I
am making a mortal from dried clay of moulded mud,(28)
- so when I have shaped him and breathed
in him of My Spirit, fall you down to him prostrating.'(29)
- And the angels prostrated themselves, all
of them, all together,(30)
- except Iblis; he refused to be with those
prostrating.(31)
- God said, `O Iblis, what ails thee that
thou art not among those prostrating?'(32)
- He said, `I would never prostrate myself
before a mortal whom Thou hast created from dried clay of moulded mud.'(33)
- God said, `get thou out from here; thou
art an outcast,(34)
- and upon thee shall rest the curse till
the Day of Recompense'.(35)
- He said, `my Lord, respite me till the
Day they will be raised.'(36)
- God said, `thou art among those that are
respited,(37)
- till the Day of the Known Time!'(38)
- He said, `my Lord, as Thou hast perverted
me, I will make for them adornments in the earth, and will pervert them
all together,(39)
- excepting Thy sincere servants among them.'(40)
- God said, `this is a straight path leading
to me.(41)
- Over My servants, thou shalt have no authority,
excepting such perverts as follow thee.(42)
- And Hell is the promised land of all of
them. (43)
- It has seven gates; for every gate shall
be a set portion of them.'(44)
- Surely the godfearing shall be amidst gardens
and fountains: (45)
- `enter them in peace and security'.(46)
- And We shall draw out whatever rancour
is there in their breasts; as brothers they will be sitting face to face
on couches.(47)
- Fatigue shall not touch them there, nor
shall they be expelled from there.(48)
- Tell My servants that I am the Forgiving,
the Merciful,(49)
- and that My punishment is the painful punishment.(50)
- And tell them of the guests of Abraham.(51)
- When they entered to him, they said, `Peace'.
He said, `we are afraid of you.'(52)
- They said, `be not afraid; we give thee
good news of a boy possessing knowledge!'(53)
- He said, `do you give me good news when
old age has come upon me? Of what do you give me good news?' (54)
- They said, `We give thee good news with
truth, so be not among those that despair'.(55)
- He said, `and who despairs of his Lord's
mercy excepting the astray?'(56)
- He said, `and what is your business, O
envoys?'(57)
- They said, `we have been sent to a people
of sinners,(58)
- except the people of Lot. We shall deliver
them all,(59)
- except his wife; we have estimated that
she shall be among those who stay behind'. (60)
- So when the Envoys came to the people of
Lot,(61)
- he said, `you are a people unknown.'(62)
- They said, `no, we have brought thee what
they were doubting;(63)
- and we have come to thee with the truth,
and we are surely truthful.(64)
- So set thou forth with thy family during
a part of the night, and follow in their rear, and let none of you turn
round, and proceed wither you are commanded'.(65)
- And We informed him of that task __ that
the root of these people shall be cut off by morning.(66)
- And the people of the city came rejoicing.(67)
- He said, `these are my guests, so do not
put me to shame,(68)
- and fear God, and do not disgrace me'.(69)
- They said, `did we not forbid thee of people?'(70)
- He said, `here are my daughters, if you
must do'.(71)
- By thy life, they wandered blindly in their
intoxication.(72)
- And the Cry seized them by sunrise,(73)
- and We turned it (the town) upside down,
and rained on them stones of baked clay.(74)
- Surely in that are Signs for the observant.(75)
- And surely it lies on an existing way.(76)
- In that is surely a Sign for the Believers.(77)
- And surely the people of the Wood were
wrong-doers;(78)
- so We took vengeance upon them; and the
two (towns) are on an open road.(79)
- And the people of Al-Hijr gave lies to
the Envoys;(80)
- and We brought them Our Signs, but they
turned away from them.(81)
- And they used to hew out houses from the
mountains, dwelling there, in security.(82)
- Then the Cry seized them by morning,(83)
- and what they had earned did not avail
them.(84)
- And We created not the heavens and the
earth and what is between them but with truth; and the Hour is sure to
come; so overlook thou with grace.(85)
- Surely thy Lord, He is the All-creator,
the Knowing.(86)
- And We have given thee seven of the oft-repeated
Verses and the Grand Qur'an.(87)
- Stretch not thy eyes to that We have given
to some groups of theirs to enjoy, and grieve not for them; and keep thy
wing low to the Believers.(88)
- And say, `surely I am the clear warner.'(89)
- As We have sent down to those who have
divided,(90)
- those who have broken the Qur'an into segments.(91)
- So, by thy Lord, We will surely question
them all,(92)
- concerning that they were doing.(93)
- So declare openly what thou art commanded,
and turn thou away from the idolaters.(94)
- We shall suffice thee against the mockers,(95)
- those who set up with God another god;
they will soon know'.(96)
- And We know indeed that thy breast is straitened
by what they say;(97)
- but celebrate thy Lord's praise, and be
among those who prostrate;(98)
- and serve thy Lord, until the Certain comes
to thee.(99)
