Who
took their religion as distraction and amusement and whom the
worldly life deluded." So today We will forget them just as
they forgot the meeting of this Day of theirs and for having
rejected Our verses.








And
We had certainly brought them a Book which We detailed by
knowledge - as guidance and mercy to a people who believe.








Do
they await except its result? The Day its result comes those
who had ignored it before will say, "The messengers of our
Lord had come with the truth, so are there [now] any
intercessors to intercede for us or could we be sent back to
do other than we used to do?" They will have lost themselves,
and lost from them is what they used to invent.








Indeed,
your Lord is Allah , who created the heavens and earth in
six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He
covers the night with the day, [another night] chasing it
rapidly; and [He created] the sun, the moon, and the stars,
subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the creation
and the command; blessed is Allah , Lord of the worlds.








Call upon your Lord in humility and privately; indeed, He does not like transgressors.








And
cause not corruption upon the earth after its reformation.
And invoke Him in fear and aspiration. Indeed, the mercy of
Allah is near to the doers of good.








And
it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His
mercy until, when they have carried heavy rainclouds, We drive
them to a dead land and We send down rain therein and bring
forth thereby [some] of all the fruits. Thus will We bring
forth the dead; perhaps you may be reminded.








And
the good land - its vegetation emerges by permission of its
Lord; but that which is bad - nothing emerges except sparsely,
with difficulty. Thus do We diversify the signs for a people
who are grateful.








We
had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my
people, worship Allah ; you have no deity other than Him.
Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day.








Said the eminent among his people, "Indeed, we see you in clear error."











[Noah] said, "O my people, there is not error in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds."






I convey to you the messages of my Lord and advise you; and I know from Allah what you do not know.








Then
do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from
your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you
and that you may fear Allah so you might receive mercy."








But
they denied him, so We saved him and those who were with
him in the ship. And We drowned those who denied Our signs.
Indeed, they were a blind people.








And
to the 'Aad [We sent] their brother Hud. He said, "O my
people, worship Allah ; you have no deity other than Him. Then
will you not fear Him?"






Said the eminent ones who
disbelieved among his people, "Indeed, we see you in
foolishness, and indeed, we think you are of the liars."


[Hud] said, "O my people, there is not foolishness in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds."








I convey to you the messages of my Lord, and I am to you a trustworthy adviser.








Then
do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from
your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you?
And remember when He made you successors after the people of
Noah and increased you in stature extensively. So remember the
favors of Allah that you might succeed.








They
said, "Have you come to us that we should worship Allah alone
and leave what our fathers have worshipped? Then bring us
what you promise us, if you should be of the truthful."








[Hud]
said, "Already have defilement and anger fallen upon you from
your Lord. Do you dispute with me concerning [mere] names you
have named them, you and your fathers, for which Allah has not
sent down any authority? Then wait; indeed, I am with you
among those who wait."








So
We saved him and those with him by mercy from Us. And We
eliminated those who denied Our signs, and they were not [at
all] believers.








And
to the Thamud [We sent] their brother Salih. He said, "O my
people, worship Allah ; you have no deity other than Him.
There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord. This is
the she-camel of Allah [sent] to you as a sign. So leave her
to eat within Allah 's land and do not touch her with harm,
lest there seize you a painful punishment.








And
remember when He made you successors after the 'Aad and
settled you in the land, [and] you take for yourselves palaces
from its plains and carve from the mountains, homes. Then
remember the favors of Allah and do not commit abuse on the
earth, spreading corruption."








Said
the eminent ones who were arrogant among his people to those
who were oppressed - to those who believed among them, "Do
you [actually] know that Salih is sent from his Lord?" They
said, "Indeed we, in that with which he was sent, are
believers."








Said those who were arrogant, "Indeed we, in that which you have believed, are disbelievers."








So
they hamstrung the she-camel and were insolent toward the
command of their Lord and said, "O Salih, bring us what you
promise us, if you should be of the messengers."








So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.








And
he turned away from them and said, "O my people, I had
certainly conveyed to you the message of my Lord and advised
you, but you do not like advisors."








And
[We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, "Do you
commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from
among the worlds?








Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people."








But
the answer of his people was only that they said, "Evict
them from your city! Indeed, they are men who keep themselves
pure."







Sahih InternationalSo We saved him and his family, except for his wife; she was of those who remained [with the evildoers].








And We rained upon them a rain [of stones]. Then see how was the
criminals.


And
to [the people of] Madyan [We sent] their brother Shu'ayb.
He said, "O my people, worship Allah ; you have no deity other
than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your
Lord. So fulfill the measure and weight and do not deprive
people of their due and cause not corruption upon the earth
after its reformation. That is better for you, if you should
be believers.






And
do not sit on every path, threatening and averting from the
way of Allah those who believe in Him, seeking to make it
[seem] deviant. And remember when you were few and He increased
you. And see how was the end of the corrupters.








And
if there should be a group among you who has believed in
that with which I have been sent and a group that has not
believed, then be patient until Allah judges between us. And He
is the best of judges."








Said
the eminent ones who were arrogant among his people, "We
will surely evict you, O Shu'ayb, and those who have believed
with you from our city, or you must return to our religion."
He said, "Even if we were unwilling?"








We
would have invented against Allah a lie if we returned to
your religion after Allah had saved us from it. And it is not
for us to return to it except that Allah , our Lord, should
will. Our Lord has encompassed all things in knowledge. Upon
Allah we have relied. Our Lord, decide between us and our
people in truth, and You are the best of those who give
decision."








Said
the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people, "If you
should follow Shu'ayb, indeed, you would then be losers."








So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.








Those
who denied Shu'ayb - it was as though they had never
resided there. Those who denied Shu'ayb - it was they who
were the losers.








And
he turned away from them and said, "O my people, I had
certainly conveyed to you the messages of my Lord and advised
you, so how could I grieve for a disbelieving people?"








And
We sent to no city a prophet [who was denied] except that
We seized its people with poverty and hardship that they might
humble themselves [to Allah ].








Then
We exchanged in place of the bad [condition], good, until
they increased [and prospered] and said, "Our fathers [also]
were touched with hardship and ease." So We seized them
suddenly while they did not perceive.








And
if only the people of the cities had believed and feared
Allah , We would have opened upon them blessings from the
heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We
seized them for what they were earning."








Then,
did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment
coming to them at night while they were asleep?








Or
did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment
coming to them in the morning while they were at play?








Then
did they feel secure from the plan of Allah ? But no one
feels secure from the plan of Allah except the losing people.








Has
it not become clear to those who inherited the earth after
its [previous] people that if We willed, We could afflict them
for their sins? But We seal over their hearts so they do not
hear.

Those
cities - We relate to you, [O Muhammad], some of their
news. And certainly did their messengers come to them with
clear proofs, but they were not to believe in that which they
had denied before. Thus does Allah seal over the hearts of the
disbelievers.








And We did not find for most of them any covenant; but indeed, We found most of them defiantly disobedient.








Then
We sent after them Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his
establishment, but they were unjust toward them. So see how
was the end of the corrupters.








And Moses said, "O Pharaoh, I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds







Sahih International[Who
is] obligated not to say about Allah except the truth. I have
come to you with clear evidence from your Lord, so send with
me the Children of Israel."








[Pharaoh] said, "If you have come with a sign, then bring it forth, if you should be of the truthful."








So Moses threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent, manifest.








And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white [with radiance] for the observers.








Said the eminent among the people of Pharaoh, "Indeed, this is a learned magician







Sahih InternationalWho wants to expel you from your land [through magic], so what do you instruct?"








They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers








Who will bring you every learned magician."








And the magicians came to Pharaoh. They said, "Indeed for us is a reward if we are the predominant."








He said, "Yes, and, [moreover], you will be among those made near [to me]."








They said, "O Moses, either you throw [your staff], or we will be the ones to throw [first]."








He
said, "Throw," and when they threw, they bewitched the eyes
of the people and struck terror into them, and they presented a
great [feat of] magic.








And We inspired to Moses, "Throw your staff," and at once it devoured what they were falsifying.








So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing.








And Pharaoh and his people were overcome right there and became debased.








And the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah ].






They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,








The Lord of Moses and Aaron."













Said
Pharaoh, "You believed in him before I gave you permission.
Indeed, this is a conspiracy which you conspired in the city
to expel therefrom its people. But you are going to know.








I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides; then I will surely crucify you all."








They said, "Indeed, to our Lord we will return.

And
you do not resent us except because we believed in the
signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord, pour upon
us patience and let us die as Muslims [in submission to You]."








And
the eminent among the people of Pharaoh said," Will you
leave Moses and his people to cause corruption in the land and
abandon you and your gods?" [Pharaoh] said, "We will kill
their sons and keep their women alive; and indeed, we are
subjugators over them."








Said
Moses to his people, "Seek help through Allah and be patient.
Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah . He causes to inherit it
whom He wills of His servants. And the [best] outcome is for
the righteous."








They
said, "We have been harmed before you came to us and after
you have come to us." He said, "Perhaps your Lord will
destroy your enemy and grant you succession in the land and
see how you will do."







Sahih InternationalAnd
We certainly seized the people of Pharaoh with years of
famine and a deficiency in fruits that perhaps they would be
reminded.








But
when good came to them, they said, "This is ours [by
right]." And if a bad [condition] struck them, they saw an
evil omen in Moses and those with him. Unquestionably, their
fortune is with Allah , but most of them do not know.









And they said, "No matter what sign you bring us with which to bewitch us, we will not be believers in you."








So
We sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs
and blood as distinct signs, but they were arrogant and were a
criminal people.








And
when the punishment descended upon them, they said, "O Moses,
invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. If you
[can] remove the punishment from us, we will surely believe
you, and we will send with you the Children of Israel."








But
when We removed the punishment from them until a term which
they were to reach, then at once they broke their word.








So
We took retribution from them, and We drowned them in the
sea because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.







And
We caused the people who had been oppressed to inherit the
eastern regions of the land and the western ones, which We had
blessed. And the good word of your Lord was fulfilled for
the Children of Israel because of what they had patiently
endured. And We destroyed [all] that Pharaoh and his people
were producing and what they had been building.








And
We took the Children of Israel across the sea; then they
came upon a people intent in devotion to [some] idols of
theirs. They said, "O Moses, make for us a god just as they
have gods." He said, "Indeed, you are a people behaving
ignorantly.








Indeed,
those [worshippers] - destroyed is that in which they are
[engaged], and worthless is whatever they were doing."







Sahih InternationalHe
said, "Is it other than Allah I should desire for you as a
god while He has preferred you over the worlds?"








And
[recall, O Children of Israel], when We saved you from the
people of Pharaoh, [who were] afflicting you with the worst
torment - killing your sons and keeping your women alive. And
in that was a great trial from your Lord.








And
We made an appointment with Moses for thirty nights and
perfected them by [the addition of] ten; so the term of his
Lord was completed as forty nights. And Moses said to his
brother Aaron, "Take my place among my people, do right [by
them], and do not follow the way of the corrupters."








And
when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke
to him, he said, "My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may
look at You." [ Allah ] said, "You will not see Me, but look
at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will
see Me." But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He
rendered it level, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he
awoke, he said, "Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and
I am the first of the believers."








[
Allah ] said, "O Moses, I have chosen you over the people
with My messages and My words [to you]. So take what I have
given you and be among the grateful."








And
We wrote for him on the tablets [something] of all things -
instruction and explanation for all things, [saying], "Take
them with determination and order your people to take the best
of it. I will show you the home of the defiantly
disobedient."








I
will turn away from My signs those who are arrogant upon
the earth without right; and if they should see every sign,
they will not believe in it. And if they see the way of
consciousness, they will not adopt it as a way; but if they
see the way of error, they will adopt it as a way. That is
because they have denied Our signs and they were heedless of
them.








Those
who denied Our signs and the meeting of the Hereafter -
their deeds have become worthless. Are they recompensed except
for what they used to do?








And
the people of Moses made, after [his departure], from their
ornaments a calf - an image having a lowing sound. Did they
not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to
a way? They took it [for worship], and they were wrongdoers.








And
when regret overcame them and they saw that they had gone
astray, they said, "If our Lord does not have mercy upon us
and forgive us, we will surely be among the losers."








And
when Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he
said, "How wretched is that by which you have replaced me
after [my departure]. Were you impatient over the matter of
your Lord?" And he threw down the tablets and seized his
brother by [the hair of] his head, pulling him toward him.
[Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, indeed the people oppressed
me and were about to kill me, so let not the enemies
rejoice over me and do not place me among the wrongdoing
people."

[Moses]
said, "My Lord, forgive me and my brother and admit us into
Your mercy, for You are the most merciful of the merciful."








Indeed,
those who took the calf [for worship] will obtain anger from
their Lord and humiliation in the life of this world, and
thus do We recompense the inventors [of falsehood].








But
those who committed misdeeds and then repented after them and
believed - indeed your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and
Merciful.








And
when the anger subsided in Moses, he took up the tablets;
and in their inscription was guidance and mercy for those who
are fearful of their Lord.








And
Moses chose from his people seventy men for Our appointment.
And when the earthquake seized them, he said, "My Lord, if
You had willed, You could have destroyed them before and me
[as well]. Would You destroy us for what the foolish among us
have done? This is not but Your trial by which You send
astray whom You will and guide whom You will. You are our
Protector, so forgive us and have mercy upon us; and You are
the best of forgivers.








And
decree for us in this world [that which is] good and [also]
in the Hereafter; indeed, we have turned back to You." [
Allah ] said, "My punishment - I afflict with it whom I will,
but My mercy encompasses all things." So I will decree it
[especially] for those who fear Me and give zakah and those
who believe in Our verses -








Those
who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they
find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel,
who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is
wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits
for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the
shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in
him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which
was sent down with him - it is those who will be the
successful.













Say,
[O Muhammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah
to you all, [from Him] to whom belongs the dominion of the
heavens and the earth. There is no deity except Him; He gives
life and causes death." So believe in Allah and His Messenger,
the unlettered prophet, who believes in Allah and His words, and
follow him that you may be guided.








And among the people of Moses is a community which guides by truth and by it establishes justice.








And
We divided them into twelve descendant tribes [as distinct]
nations. And We inspired to Moses when his people implored him
for water, "Strike with your staff the stone," and there
gushed forth from it twelve springs. Every people knew its
watering place. And We shaded them with clouds and sent down
upon them manna and quails, [saying], "Eat from the good things
with which We have provided you." And they wronged Us not,
but they were [only] wronging themselves.








And
[mention, O Muhammad], when it was said to them, "Dwell in
this city and eat from it wherever you will and say, 'Relieve
us of our burdens,' and enter the gate bowing humbly; We will
[then] forgive you your sins. We will increase the doers of
good [in goodness and reward]."








But
those who wronged among them changed [the words] to a
statement other than that which had been said to them. So We
sent upon them a punishment from the sky for the wrong that
they were doing.








And
ask them about the town that was by the sea - when they
transgressed in [the matter of] the sabbath - when their fish
came to them openly on their sabbath day, and the day they
had no sabbath they did not come to them. Thus did We give
them trial because they were defiantly disobedient.








And
when a community among them said, "Why do you advise [or
warn] a people whom Allah is [about] to destroy or to punish
with a severe punishment?" they [the advisors] said, "To be
absolved before your Lord and perhaps they may fear Him."








And
when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We
saved those who had forbidden evil and seized those who
wronged, with a wretched punishment, because they were defiantly
disobeying.












Sahih InternationalSo when they were insolent about that which they had been forbidden, We said to them, "Be apes, despised."













And
[mention] when your Lord declared that He would surely
[continue to] send upon them until the Day of Resurrection
those who would afflict them with the worst torment. Indeed,
your Lord is swift in penalty; but indeed, He is Forgiving
and Merciful.








And
We divided them throughout the earth into nations. Of them
some were righteous, and of them some were otherwise. And We
tested them with good [times] and bad that perhaps they would
return [to obedience].








And
there followed them successors who inherited the Scripture
[while] taking the commodities of this lower life and saying,
"It will be forgiven for us." And if an offer like it comes
to them, they will [again] take it. Was not the covenant of
the Scripture taken from them that they would not say about
Allah except the truth, and they studied what was in it? And
the home of the Hereafter is better for those who fear Allah ,
so will you not use reason?








But
those who hold fast to the Book and establish prayer -
indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of the
reformers.








And
[mention] when We raised the mountain above them as if it
was a dark cloud and they were certain that it would fall
upon them, [and Allah said], "Take what We have given you with
determination and remember what is in it that you might fear
Allah ."








And
[mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam -
from their loins - their descendants and made them testify of
themselves, [saying to them], "Am I not your Lord?" They said,
"Yes, we have testified." [This] - lest you should say on
the day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware."








Or
[lest] you say, "It was only that our fathers associated
[others in worship] with Allah before, and we were but
descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the
falsifiers have done?"








And thus do We [explain in] detail the verses, and perhaps they will return.








And
recite to them, [O Muhammad], the news of him to whom we
gave [knowledge of] Our signs, but he detached himself from
them; so Satan pursued him, and he became of the deviators.








And
if We had willed, we could have elevated him thereby, but
he adhered [instead] to the earth and followed his own desire.
So his example is like that of the dog: if you chase him,
he pants, or if you leave him, he [still] pants. That is the
example of the people who denied Our signs. So relate the
stories that perhaps they will give thought.








How evil an example [is that of] the people who denied Our signs and used to wrong themselves.








Whoever
Allah guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He
sends astray - it is those who are the losers.













And
We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and
mankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand,
they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears
with which they do not hear. Those are like livestock;
rather, they are more astray. It is they who are the heedless.








And
to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And
leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning
His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been
doing.








And among those We created is a community which guides by truth and thereby establishes justice.








But those who deny Our signs - We will progressively lead them [to destruction] from where they do not know.









And I will give them time. Indeed, my plan is firm.








Then
do they not give thought? There is in their companion
[Muhammad] no madness. He is not but a clear warner.








Do
they not look into the realm of the heavens and the earth
and everything that Allah has created and [think] that perhaps
their appointed time has come near? So in what statement
hereafter will they believe?







Sahih InternationalWhoever
Allah sends astray - there is no guide for him. And He



They
ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?
Say, "Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal
its time except Him. It lays heavily upon the heavens and the
earth. It will not come upon you except unexpectedly." They
ask you as if you are familiar with it. Say, "Its knowledge
is only with Allah , but most of the people do not know."








Say,
"I hold not for myself [the power of] benefit or harm,
except what Allah has willed. And if I knew the unseen, I could
have acquired much wealth, and no harm would have touched me.
I am not except a warner and a bringer of good tidings to
a people who believe."








It
is He who created you from one soul and created from it
its mate that he might dwell in security with her. And when
he covers her, she carries a light burden and continues
therein. And when it becomes heavy, they both invoke Allah ,
their Lord, "If You should



But
when He gives them a good [child], they ascribe partners to
Him concerning that which He has given them. Exalted is Allah
above what they associate with Him.







Sahih InternationalDo they associate with Him those who create nothing and they are [themselves] created?








And the false deities are unable to [give] them help, nor can they help themselves.








And
if you [believers] invite them to guidance, they will not
follow you. It is all the same for you whether you invite
them or you are silent.








Indeed,
those you [polytheists] call upon besides Allah are servants
like you. So call upon them and let them respond to you, if
you should be truthful.








Do
they have feet by which they walk? Or do they have hands
by which they strike? Or do they have eyes by which they see?
Or do they have ears by which they hear? Say, [O Muhammad],
"Call your 'partners' and then conspire against me and give
me no respite.








Indeed, my protector is Allah , who has sent down the Book; and He is an ally to the righteous.













And those you call upon besides Him are unable to help you, nor can they help themselves."






And
if you invite them to guidance, they do not hear; and you
see them looking at you while they do not see.








Take what is given freely, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the ignorant.








And
if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek
refuge in Allah . Indeed, He is Hearing and Knowing.








Indeed,
those who fear Allah - when an impulse touches them from
Satan, they remember [Him] and at once they have insight.








But their brothers - the devils increase them in error; then they do not stop short.








And
when you, [O Muhammad], do not bring them a sign, they say,
"Why have you not contrived it?" Say, "I only follow what is
revealed to me from my Lord. This [Qur'an] is enlightenment
from your Lord and guidance and mercy for a people who
believe."








So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.








And
remember your Lord within yourself in humility and in fear
without being apparent in speech - in the mornings and the
evenings. And do not be among the heedless.








Indeed,
those who are near your Lord are not prevented by arrogance
from His worship, and they exalt Him, and to Him they
prostrate.
