وَفِیۤ أَنفُسِكُمۡۚ أَفَلَا تُبۡصِرُونَ ۝٢١

There is also evidence of the Truth within your own selves. Will you then not see

Muhammad Sarwar

This, by the Lord of the heavens and the earth is as certain as your ability to speak

2 Fate of Previous Nations

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِیثُ ضَیۡفِ إِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَ ٱلۡمُكۡرَمِینَ ۝٢٤

Muhammad Sarwar

Have you heard the story of the honorable guests of Abraham

hal atāka ḥadīthu ḍayfi ib'rāhīma l-muk'ramīn

إِذۡ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَیۡهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَـٰمࣰاۖ قَالَ سَلَـٰمࣱ قَوۡمࣱ مُّنكَرُونَ ۝٢٥

Muhammad Sarwar

When they came to him saying, "Peace be with you," he replied to their greeting in the same manner and said to himself, "These are a strange people"

idh dakhalū ʿalayhi faqālū salāman qāla salāmun qawmun munkarūn

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰۤ أَهۡلِهِۦ فَجَاۤءَ بِعِجۡلࣲ سَمِینࣲ ۝٢٦

Muhammad Sarwar

He went quietly to his wife and returned to his guests with a fat, roasted calf

فَقَرَّبَهُۥۤ إِلَیۡهِمۡ قَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ ۝٢٧

Muhammad Sarwar

He placed it before them. Then he said, "Why are you not eating?"

faqarrabahu ilayhim qāla alā takulūn

فَأَوۡجَسَ مِنۡهُمۡ خِیفَةࣰۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفۡۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ عَلِیمࣲ ۝٢٨

Muhammad Sarwar

He began to feel afraid. They said, "Do not be afraid," and then gave him the glad news of the birth of a knowledgeable son

fa-awjasa min'hum khīfatan qālū lā takhaf wabasharūhu bighulāmin ʿalīmi

فَأَقۡبَلَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتُهُۥ فِی صَرَّةࣲ فَصَكَّتۡ وَجۡهَهَا وَقَالَتۡ عَجُوزٌ عَقِیمࣱ ۝٢٩

Muhammad Sarwar

His wife came forward, crying and beating her face, saying, "I am an old barren woman!"

fa-aqbalati im'ra-atuhu fī ṣarratin faṣakkat wajhahā waqālat ʿajūzun ʿaqīmu

قَالُوا۟ كَذَ ٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡحَكِیمُ ٱلۡعَلِیمُ ۝٣٠

Muhammad Sarwar

They said, "This is true but your Lord has said, (that you will have a son); He is All-wise and All-knowing"

qālū kadhāliki qāla rabbuki innahu huwa l-ḥakīmu l-ʿalīm

۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطۡبُكُمۡ أَیُّهَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ ۝٣١

Muhammad Sarwar

Abraham asked, "Messengers, what is your task?"

qāla famā khaṭbukum ayyuhā l-mur'salūn

قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّاۤ أُرۡسِلۡنَاۤ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمࣲ مُّجۡرِمِینَ ۝٣٢

Muhammad Sarwar

They replied, "We have been sent to a sinful peopl

qālū innā ur'sil'nā ilā qawmin muj'rimīn

لِنُرۡسِلَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةࣰ مِّن طِینࣲ ۝٣٣

Muhammad Sarwar

to bring down upon them showers of marked lumps of clayy

linur'sila ʿalayhim ḥijāratan min ṭīni

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلۡمُسۡرِفِینَ ۝٣٤

Muhammad Sarwar

They are transgressors in the presence of your Lord"

musawwamatan ʿinda rabbika lil'mus'rifīn

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا مَن كَانَ فِیهَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ۝٣٥

Muhammad Sarwar

We saved the believers among them

fa-akhrajnā man kāna fīhā mina l-mu'minīn

فَمَا وَجَدۡنَا فِیهَا غَیۡرَ بَیۡتࣲ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِینَ ۝٣٦

Muhammad Sarwar

but We found only one Muslim house

famā wajadnā fīhā ghayra baytin mina l-mus'limīn

وَتَرَكۡنَا فِیهَاۤ ءَایَةࣰ لِّلَّذِینَ یَخَافُونَ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِیمَ ۝٣٧

Muhammad Sarwar

We left therein evidence for those who fear the painful torment

wataraknā fīhā āyatan lilladhīna yakhāfūna l-ʿadhāba l-alīm

وَفِی مُوسَىٰۤ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ بِسُلۡطَـٰنࣲ مُّبِینࣲ ۝٣٨

Muhammad Sarwar

There is also evidence (of the Truth) in the story of Moses when We sent him to the Pharaoh with clear authority

wafī mūsā idh arsalnāhu ilā fir'ʿawna bisul'ṭānin mubīni

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكۡنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَـٰحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونࣱ ۝٣٩

Muhammad Sarwar

The Pharaoh and his forces turned away from him, saying, "He is either a magician or an insane person"

fatawallā biruk'nihi waqāla sāḥirun aw majnūnu

فَأَخَذۡنَـٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذۡنَـٰهُمۡ فِی ٱلۡیَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِیمࣱ ۝٤٠

Muhammad Sarwar

We seized him and his army and threw them into the sea. He himself was to be blamed

fa-akhadhnāhu wajunūdahu fanabadhnāhum fī l-yami wahuwa mulīmu

وَفِی عَادٍ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَیۡهِمُ ٱلرِّیحَ ٱلۡعَقِیمَ ۝٤١

Muhammad Sarwar

There is also evidence of the Truth in the story of Ad whom We struck with a violent win

wafī ʿādin idh arsalnā ʿalayhimu l-rīḥa l-ʿaqīm

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَیۡءٍ أَتَتۡ عَلَیۡهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتۡهُ كَٱلرَّمِیمِ ۝٤٢

Muhammad Sarwar

which turned everything it approached into dust

mā tadharu min shayin atat ʿalayhi illā jaʿalathu kal-ramīm

وَفِی ثَمُودَ إِذۡ قِیلَ لَهُمۡ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِینࣲ ۝٤٣

Muhammad Sarwar

There is also evidence (of the Truth) in the story of the Thamud, who were told to enjoy themselves for an appointed time

wafī thamūda idh qīla lahum tamattaʿū ḥattā ḥīni

فَعَتَوۡا۟ عَنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّهِمۡ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَهُمۡ یَنظُرُونَ ۝٤٤

Muhammad Sarwar

They transgressed against the command of their Lord. So a blast of sound struck them and they were unable to do anything but stare

faʿataw ʿan amri rabbihim fa-akhadhathumu l-ṣāʿiqatu wahum yanẓurūn

فَمَا ٱسۡتَطَـٰعُوا۟ مِن قِیَامࣲ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِینَ ۝٤٥

Muhammad Sarwar

They were unable to stand up, nor were they helped

famā is'taṭāʿū min qiyāmin wamā kānū muntaṣirīn

وَقَوۡمَ نُوحࣲ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ قَوۡمࣰا فَـٰسِقِینَ ۝٤٦

Muhammad Sarwar

The people of Noah who lived before them were also evil doing people

waqawma nūḥin min qablu innahum kānū qawman fāsiqīn

3 Judgment is sure

وَٱلسَّمَاۤءَ بَنَیۡنَـٰهَا بِأَیۡی۟دࣲ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ ۝٤٧

Muhammad Sarwar

We have made the heavens with Our own hands and We expanded it

wal-samāa banaynāhā bi-aydin wa-innā lamūsiʿūn

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فَرَشۡنَـٰهَا فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمَـٰهِدُونَ ۝٤٨

Muhammad Sarwar

We have spread out the earth and how brilliantly it is spread

wal-arḍa farashnāhā faniʿ'ma l-māhidūn

وَمِن كُلِّ شَیۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَا زَوۡجَیۡنِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝٤٩

Muhammad Sarwar

We have created everything in pairs so that perhaps you may take heed

wamin kulli shayin khalaqnā zawjayni laʿallakum tadhakkarūn

فَفِرُّوۤا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّی لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِیرࣱ مُّبِینࣱ ۝٥٠

Muhammad Sarwar

(Muhammad), tell them,"Seek refuge in God. I have been sent from Him to plainly warn you

fafirrū ilā l-lahi innī lakum min'hu nadhīrun mubīnu

وَلَا تَجۡعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَۖ إِنِّی لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِیرࣱ مُّبِینࣱ ۝٥١

Muhammad Sarwar

Do not choose other gods besides Him. I have been sent from Him to plainly warn you"

walā tajʿalū maʿa l-lahi ilāhan ākhara innī lakum min'hu nadhīrun mubīnu

كَذَ ٰلِكَ مَاۤ أَتَى ٱلَّذِینَ مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٌ ۝٥٢

Muhammad Sarwar

In the same way no Messenger came to those who lived before them without his people calling him a magician or an insane person

kadhālika mā atā alladhīna min qablihim min rasūlin illā qālū sāḥirun aw majnūnu

أَتَوَاصَوۡا۟ بِهِۦۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمࣱ طَاغُونَ ۝٥٣

Muhammad Sarwar

Have they inherited such dealings with the Prophets from their predecessors or are they a rebellious people

atawāṣaw bihi bal hum qawmun ṭāghūn

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ فَمَاۤ أَنتَ بِمَلُومࣲ ۝٥٤

Muhammad Sarwar

(Muhammad), leave them alone and you will not be blamed

fatawalla ʿanhum famā anta bimalūmi

وَذَكِّرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ۝٥٥

Muhammad Sarwar

Keep on reminding them. This benefits the believers

wadhakkir fa-inna l-dhik'rā tanfaʿu l-mu'minīn

وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِیَعۡبُدُونِ ۝٥٦

Muhammad Sarwar

We have created jinn and human beings only that they might worship Me

wamā khalaqtu l-jina wal-insa illā liyaʿbudūn

مَاۤ أُرِیدُ مِنۡهُم مِّن رِّزۡقࣲ وَمَاۤ أُرِیدُ أَن یُطۡعِمُونِ ۝٥٧

Muhammad Sarwar

I do not expect to receive any sustenance from them or that they should feed Me

mā urīdu min'hum min riz'qin wamā urīdu an yuṭ'ʿimūn

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلۡقُوَّةِ ٱلۡمَتِینُ ۝٥٨

Muhammad Sarwar

It is God Who is the Sustainer and the Lord of invincible strength

inna l-laha huwa l-razāqu dhū l-quwati l-matīn

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبࣰا مِّثۡلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصۡحَـٰبِهِمۡ فَلَا یَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ ۝٥٩

Muhammad Sarwar

The unjust will bear a burden like that of their unjust predecessors. Let them not make Me bring immediate punishment upon them

fa-inna lilladhīna ẓalamū dhanūban mith'la dhanūbi aṣḥābihim falā yastaʿjilūn

فَوَیۡلࣱ لِّلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن یَوۡمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِی یُوعَدُونَ ۝٦٠

Muhammad Sarwar

Woe to the disbelievers when the day with which they have been threatened comes

fawaylun lilladhīna kafarū min yawmihimu alladhī yūʿadūn
