receiving what their Lord will have given to them. Indeed, prior to this, they were good in their deeds

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

and in the hours before dawn they used to pray for forgiveness

وَفِیۤ أَمۡوَ ٰلِهِمۡ حَقࣱّ لِّلسَّاۤىِٕلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ ۝١٩

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

and in their wealth, there was a right for one who asks and for one who is deprived

وَفِیۤ أَنفُسِكُمۡۚ أَفَلَا تُبۡصِرُونَ ۝٢١

and in your own selves! So, do you not perceive

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

So, by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, it (the Day of Recompense) is a reality, as sure as the fact that you (can) speak

2 Fate of Previous Nations

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِیثُ ضَیۡفِ إِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَ ٱلۡمُكۡرَمِینَ ۝٢٤

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Has there come to you the story of the honoured guests of Ibrahim

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

إِذۡ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَیۡهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَـٰمࣰاۖ قَالَ سَلَـٰمࣱ قَوۡمࣱ مُّنكَرُونَ ۝٢٥

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

When they (the angels in human form) entered unto him and said, .We greet you with Salam . He said, .Salam on you. (And he said to himself,) .(They are) unknown people

idh dakhalū ʿalayhi faqālū salāman qāla salāmun qawmun munkarūn

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰۤ أَهۡلِهِۦ فَجَاۤءَ بِعِجۡلࣲ سَمِینࣲ ۝٢٦

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Then he slipped off to his home and fetched a fattened calf

farāgha ilā ahlihi fajāa biʿij'lin samīni

فَقَرَّبَهُۥۤ إِلَیۡهِمۡ قَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ ۝٢٧

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

So he presented it before them (to eat, but being angels, they refrained.) He said, .Would you not eat?

faqarrabahu ilayhim qāla alā takulūn

فَأَوۡجَسَ مِنۡهُمۡ خِیفَةࣰۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفۡۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ عَلِیمࣲ ۝٢٨

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

So he felt some fear in his heart. They said, .Be not scared. And they gave him the good news of (the birth of) a knowledgeable boy

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

فَأَقۡبَلَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتُهُۥ فِی صَرَّةࣲ فَصَكَّتۡ وَجۡهَهَا وَقَالَتۡ عَجُوزٌ عَقِیمࣱ ۝٢٩

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

So his wife came forward with a clamor, and slapped her own face and said, .(How can I have a child when I am) a barren old woman?

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

قَالُوا۟ كَذَ ٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡحَكِیمُ ٱلۡعَلِیمُ ۝٣٠

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

They said, .This is how your Lord has said. Surely, He is All-Wise, All-Knowing

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

۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطۡبُكُمۡ أَیُّهَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ ۝٣١

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

He (Ibrahim) said (to the angels), .Then, what is your mission O messengers?

qāla famā khaṭbukum ayyuhā l-mur'salūn

قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّاۤ أُرۡسِلۡنَاۤ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمࣲ مُّجۡرِمِینَ ۝٣٢

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

They said, .We are sent to a guilty people, (i.e. the people of Sodom

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

لِنُرۡسِلَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةࣰ مِّن طِینࣲ ۝٣٣

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

so that we may send down upon them stones of clay

linur'sila ʿalayhim ḥijāratan min ṭīni

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلۡمُسۡرِفِینَ ۝٣٤

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

marked by your Lord for the transgressors

musawwamatan ʿinda rabbika lil'mus'rifīn

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا مَن كَانَ فِیهَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ۝٣٥

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

So, We let the believers who were there to come out (from danger)

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

فَمَا وَجَدۡنَا فِیهَا غَیۡرَ بَیۡتࣲ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِینَ ۝٣٦

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

but We did not find in it any Muslims, except one house

famā wajadnā fīhā ghayra baytin mina l-mus'limīn

وَتَرَكۡنَا فِیهَاۤ ءَایَةࣰ لِّلَّذِینَ یَخَافُونَ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِیمَ ۝٣٧

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

And We left in this (event) a sign (of deterrence) for those who fear the painful punishment

wataraknā fīhā āyatan lilladhīna yakhāfūna l-ʿadhāba l-alīm

وَفِی مُوسَىٰۤ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ بِسُلۡطَـٰنࣲ مُّبِینࣲ ۝٣٨

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

And (We left a similar sign) in (the story of) Musa, when We sent him to Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) with a clear proof

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

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكۡنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَـٰحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونࣱ ۝٣٩

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

So he turned away along with his chiefs and said, . (Musa is) a magician or a madman!

fatawallā biruk'nihi waqāla sāḥirun aw majnūnu

فَأَخَذۡنَـٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذۡنَـٰهُمۡ فِی ٱلۡیَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِیمࣱ ۝٤٠

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

So We seized him and his army, and cast them into the sea, as he was of culpable behaviour

fa-akhadhnāhu wajunūdahu fanabadhnāhum fī l-yami wahuwa mulīmu

وَفِی عَادٍ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَیۡهِمُ ٱلرِّیحَ ٱلۡعَقِیمَ ۝٤١

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

And (a similar sign was left) in (the story of) ‘Ad, when We sent upon them the wind that was barren (from any benefit)

wafī ʿādin idh arsalnā ʿalayhimu l-rīḥa l-ʿaqīm

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَیۡءٍ أَتَتۡ عَلَیۡهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتۡهُ كَٱلرَّمِیمِ ۝٤٢

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

it spared nothing it came upon, but rendered it like a stuff smashed by decay

mā tadharu min shayin atat ʿalayhi illā jaʿalathu kal-ramīm

وَفِی ثَمُودَ إِذۡ قِیلَ لَهُمۡ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِینࣲ ۝٤٣

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

And (a similar sign was left) in (the story of) Thamud, when it was said to them, .Enjoy yourselves for a while

wafī thamūda idh qīla lahum tamattaʿū ḥattā ḥīni

فَعَتَوۡا۟ عَنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّهِمۡ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَهُمۡ یَنظُرُونَ ۝٤٤

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Then they rebelled against the command of your Lord; so the thunderbolt (of divine punishment) seized them, while they were looking on

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

فَمَا ٱسۡتَطَـٰعُوا۟ مِن قِیَامࣲ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِینَ ۝٤٥

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Then they were neither able to stand (before the punishment), nor could they defend themselves

famā is'taṭāʿū min qiyāmin wamā kānū muntaṣirīn

وَقَوۡمَ نُوحࣲ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ قَوۡمࣰا فَـٰسِقِینَ ۝٤٦

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

And (We have destroyed) the people of NuH even before; indeed they were a sinful people

waqawma nūḥin min qablu innahum kānū qawman fāsiqīn

3 Judgment is sure

وَٱلسَّمَاۤءَ بَنَیۡنَـٰهَا بِأَیۡی۟دࣲ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ ۝٤٧

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

And the sky was built by Us with might; and indeed We are the expanders

wal-samāa banaynāhā bi-aydin wa-innā lamūsiʿūn

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فَرَشۡنَـٰهَا فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمَـٰهِدُونَ ۝٤٨

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

And the earth was spread out by Us as a floor; so how well have We spread it out

wal-arḍa farashnāhā faniʿ'ma l-māhidūn

وَمِن كُلِّ شَیۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَا زَوۡجَیۡنِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝٤٩

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

And from every thing We have created pairs of twos, so that you may heed

wamin kulli shayin khalaqnā zawjayni laʿallakum tadhakkarūn

فَفِرُّوۤا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّی لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِیرࣱ مُّبِینࣱ ۝٥٠

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

So, flee to Allah. Indeed I am a plain warner sent by Him for you

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

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

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

And do not make up any other god along with Allah. Indeed I am a plain warner sent by Him for 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 Taqi Usmani

In similar way, no messenger came to those before them, but they said, .(He is) a magician or a madman

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

أَتَوَاصَوۡا۟ بِهِۦۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمࣱ طَاغُونَ ۝٥٣

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Have they handed down (this saying) to each other as a legacy? Rather they are a rebellious people

atawāṣaw bihi bal hum qawmun ṭāghūn

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ فَمَاۤ أَنتَ بِمَلُومࣲ ۝٥٤

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

So, turn away from them, for you are not blamed

fatawalla ʿanhum famā anta bimalūmi

وَذَكِّرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ۝٥٥

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

And keep reminding, because reminding benefits the believers

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

وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِیَعۡبُدُونِ ۝٥٦

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

I did not create the Jinns and the human beings except for the purpose that they should worship Me

wamā khalaqtu l-jina wal-insa illā liyaʿbudūn

مَاۤ أُرِیدُ مِنۡهُم مِّن رِّزۡقࣲ وَمَاۤ أُرِیدُ أَن یُطۡعِمُونِ ۝٥٧

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

I do not want any sustenance from them, nor do I want them to feed Me

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

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلۡقُوَّةِ ٱلۡمَتِینُ ۝٥٨

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

In fact, Allah is the All-Sustainer, Possessor of power, the Strong

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

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبࣰا مِّثۡلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصۡحَـٰبِهِمۡ فَلَا یَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ ۝٥٩

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

So, those who did wrong will have their turn like the turn of their counterparts. So, they should not ask Me to hasten on

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

فَوَیۡلࣱ لِّلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن یَوۡمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِی یُوعَدُونَ ۝٦٠

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Woe, then, to those who disbelieve because of the Day of theirs that they are promised (for punishment)

fawaylun lilladhīna kafarū min yawmihimu alladhī yūʿadūn
