وَلَقَدْ فَتَنّاٰ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجآٰءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ كَرٖیمٌ١٧اَنْ اَدُّوٓ
Certainly We tried the people of Pharaoh before them, when a noble apostle came to them, 17[saying,] ‘Give over the servants of Allah to me; indeed I am a trusted apostle [sent] to you. 18Do not defy Allah. Indeed I bring you a manifest authority. 19I seek the protection of my Lord and your Lord, lest you should stone me. 20And if you do not believe me, keep out of my way.’ 21Then he invoked his Lord, [saying,] ‘These are indeed a guilty lot.’ 22[Allah told him,] ‘Set out by night with My servants; for you will be pursued. 23Leave behind the sea unmoving; for they will be a drowned host.’ 24How many gardens and springs did they leave behind! 25Fields and splendid places, 26and the affluence wherein they rejoiced! 27So it was; and We bequeathed them to another people. 28So neither the sky wept for them, nor the earth; nor were they granted any respite. 29Certainly We delivered the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment 30of Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a tyrant among the transgressors. 31Certainly We chose them knowingly above all the nations, 32and We gave them some signs in which there was a manifest test. 33These ones say, 34‘It will be only our first death, and we shall not be resurrected. 35Bring our fathers back [to life], if you are truthful.’ 36Are they better, or the people of Tubba‘, and those who were before them? We destroyed them; indeed, they were guilty. 37We did not create the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them for play. 38We did not create them except with consummate wisdom; but most of them do not know. 39Indeed the Day of Judgement is the tryst for them all, 40the day when a friend will not avail a friend in any way, nor will they be helped, 41except for him on whom Allah has mercy. Indeed He is the All-mighty, the All-merciful. 42Indeed the tree of Zaqqum 43will be the food of the sinful. 44Like molten copper it will boil in their bellies, 45seething like boiling water. 46[The keepers of hell will be told,] ‘Seize him and drag him to the middle of hell, 47then pour over his head boiling water as punishment, 48[and tell them,] “Taste this! Indeed you are the [self-styled] mighty and noble! 49This is what you used to doubt!’ 50Indeed the Godwary will be in a safe place, 51amid gardens and springs, 52dressed in fine silk and brocade, sitting face to face. 53So shall it be, and We shall wed them to black-eyed houris. 54Secure [from any kind of harm,] there they will call for every kind of fruit [they wish]. 55Other than the first death, they will not taste death therein, and He will save them from the punishment of hell 56—a grace from your Lord. That is the great success. 57Indeed We have made it simple in your language, so that they may take admonition. 58So wait! They [too] are waiting. 59Surah Al-JathiyaMakiha37In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.Ha, Meem. 1The [gradual] sending down of the Book is from Allah, the All-mighty, All-wise. 2In the heavens and the earth there are indeed signs for the faithful, 3There are signs for people who have certainty in your own creation and in animals, He scatters abroad. 4There are signs for people who exercise their reason in the alternation of night and day, in the provision that Allah sends down from the sky, with which He revives the earth after its death, and in the changing of the winds. 5These are the signs of Allah that We recite for you in truth. So what discourse will they believe after Allah and His signs? 6Woe to every sinful liar, 7who hears the signs of Allah being recited to him, yet persists arrogantly as if he had not heard them. So inform him of a painful punishment. 8Should he learn anything about Our signs, he takes them in derision. For such there is a humiliating punishment. 9Ahead of them is hell, and neither what they have earned, nor what they had taken as guardians besides Allah will avail them in any way, and there is a great punishment for them. 10This is [true] guidance, and there is a painful punishment due to defilement for those who defy the signs of their Lord. 11It is Allah who disposed the sea for you[r benefit] so that the ships may sail in it by His command, that you may seek of His bounty and that you may give thanks. 12He has disposed for you[r benefit] whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth; all is from Him. There are indeed signs in that for a people who reflect. 13Say to the faithful to forgive those who do not expect Allah’s days, that He may [Himself] requite every people for what they used to earn. 14Whoever acts righteously, it is for his own soul, and whoever does evil, it is to its own detriment, then you will be brought back to your Lord. 15Certainly We gave the Children of Israel the Book, judgement and prophethood and We provided them with all the good things. We gave them an advantage over all the nations, 16and We gave them manifest precepts. But they did not differ except after knowledge had come to them, out of envy among themselves. Indeed your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that about which they used to differ. 17Then We set you upon a clear course of the Law; so follow it, and do not follow the desires of those who do not know. 18Indeed they will not avail you in any way against Allah. Indeed the wrongdoers are allies of one another, but Allah is the ally of the Godwary. 19These are eye-openers for mankind, and guidance and mercy for a people who have certainty. 20Do those who have perpetrated misdeeds suppose that We shall treat them like those who have faith and do righteous deeds, their life and death being equal? Evil is the judgement that they make! 21Allah created the heavens and the earth with consummate wisdom, so that every soul may be requited for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged. 22Have you seen him who has taken his desire to be his god and whom Allah has led astray knowingly, set a seal upon his hearing and heart, and put a blindfold on his sight? So who will guide him after Allah [has consigned him to error]? Will you not then take admonition? 23They say, ‘There is nothing but the life of this world: we live and we die, and nothing but time destroys us.’ But they do not have any knowledge of that, and they only make conjectures. 24When Our manifest signs are recited to them, their only argument is to say, ‘Bring our fathers back [to life], if you are truthful.’ 25Say, ‘It is Allah who gives you life, then He makes you die. Then He will gather you on the Day of Resurrection, in which there is no doubt. But most people do not know.’ 26To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and when the Hour sets in, the falsifiers will be losers on that day. 27And you will see every nation fallen on its knees. Every nation will be summoned to its book: ‘Today you will be requited for what you used to do. 28This is Our book, which speaks truly against you. Indeed We used to record what you used to do.’ 29As for those who have faith and do righteous deeds, their Lord will admit them into His mercy. That is the manifest success! 30But as for the faithless, [they will be asked,] ‘Were not My signs recited to you? But you were disdainful, and you were a guilty lot. 31When it was said, ‘‘Allah’s promise is indeed true, and there is no doubt about the Hour,’’ you said, ‘‘We do not know what the Hour is. We know nothing beyond conjectures, and we do not possess any certainty.’’ ’ 32The evils of what they had done will appear to them, and they will be besieged by what they used to deride. 33And it will be said, ‘Today We will forget you, just as you forgot the encounter of this day of yours. The Fire will be your abode, and you will not have any helpers. 34That is because you took the signs of Allah in derision, and the life of the world had deceived you.’ So today, they will not be brought out of it, nor will they be asked to propitiate [Allah]. 35So all praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the earth, the Lord of all the worlds. 36To Him belongs all supremacy in the heavens and the earth, and He is the All-mighty, the All-wise. 37
