Surah Al-A'raaf

لَهُممِّنجَهَنَّمَمِهَادٌۭوَمِنفَوْقِهِمْغَوَاشٍۢوَكَذَٰلِكَنَجْزِىٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

Hell will be their resting-place and their covering as well: for thus do We requite the evildoers.

وَٱلَّذِينَءَامَنُوا۟وَعَمِلُوا۟ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِلَانُكَلِّفُنَفْسًاإِلَّاوُسْعَهَآأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَأَصْحَٰبُٱلْجَنَّةِهُمْفِيهَاخَٰلِدُونَ

But those who attain to faith and do righteous deeds - [and] We do not burden any human being with more than he is well able to bear - they are destined for paradise, therein to abide,

وَنَزَعْنَامَافِىصُدُورِهِممِّنْغِلٍّۢتَجْرِىمِنتَحْتِهِمُٱلْأَنْهَٰرُوَقَالُوا۟ٱلْحَمْدُلِلَّهِٱلَّذِىهَدَىٰنَالِهَٰذَاوَمَاكُنَّالِنَهْتَدِىَلَوْلَآأَنْهَدَىٰنَاٱللَّهُلَقَدْجَآءَتْرُسُلُرَبِّنَابِٱلْحَقِّوَنُودُوٓا۟أَنتِلْكُمُٱلْجَنَّةُأُورِثْتُمُوهَابِمَاكُنتُمْتَعْمَلُونَ

after We shall have removed whatever unworthy thoughts or feelings may have been [lingering] in their bosoms. Running waters will flow at their feet; and they will say: "All praise is due to God, who has guided us unto this; for we would certainly not have found the right path unless God had guided us! Indeed, our Sustainer's apostles have told us the truth!" And [a voice] will call out unto them: "This is the paradise which you have inherited by virtue of your past deeds!"

وَنَادَىٰٓأَصْحَٰبُٱلْجَنَّةِأَصْحَٰبَٱلنَّارِأَنقَدْوَجَدْنَامَاوَعَدَنَارَبُّنَاحَقًّۭافَهَلْوَجَدتُّممَّاوَعَدَرَبُّكُمْحَقًّۭاقَالُوا۟نَعَمْفَأَذَّنَمُؤَذِّنٌۢبَيْنَهُمْأَنلَّعْنَةُٱللَّهِعَلَىٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

And the inmates of paradise will call out to the inmates of the fire: "Now we have found that what our Sustainer promised us has come true; have you. too, found that what your Sustainer promised you has come true?" [The others] will answer, "Yes!"-whereupon from their midst a voice will loudly proclaim: "God's rejection is the due of the evildoers

ٱلَّذِينَيَصُدُّونَعَنسَبِيلِٱللَّهِوَيَبْغُونَهَاعِوَجًۭاوَهُمبِٱلْءَاخِرَةِكَٰفِرُونَ

who turn others away from God's path and try to make it appear crooked, and who refuse to acknowledge the truth of the life to come!"

وَبَيْنَهُمَاحِجَابٌۭوَعَلَىٱلْأَعْرَافِرِجَالٌۭيَعْرِفُونَكُلًّۢابِسِيمَىٰهُمْوَنَادَوْا۟أَصْحَٰبَٱلْجَنَّةِأَنسَلَٰمٌعَلَيْكُمْلَمْيَدْخُلُوهَاوَهُمْيَطْمَعُونَ

And between the two there will be a barrier. And there will be persons who [in life] were endowed with the faculty of discernment [between right and wrong], recognizing each by its mark. And they will call out unto the inmates of paradise, "Peace be upon you!"-not having entered it themselves, but longing [for it].

وَإِذَاصُرِفَتْأَبْصَٰرُهُمْتِلْقَآءَأَصْحَٰبِٱلنَّارِقَالُوا۟رَبَّنَالَاتَجْعَلْنَامَعَٱلْقَوْمِٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

And whenever their eyes are turned towards the inmates of the fire, they will cry: "O our Sustainer! Place us not among the people who have been guilty of evildoing!"

وَنَادَىٰٓأَصْحَٰبُٱلْأَعْرَافِرِجَالًۭايَعْرِفُونَهُمبِسِيمَىٰهُمْقَالُوا۟مَآأَغْنَىٰعَنكُمْجَمْعُكُمْوَمَاكُنتُمْتَسْتَكْبِرُونَ

And they who [in life] had possessed this faculty of discernment will call out to those whom they recognize by their marks [as sinners], saying: "What has your amassing [of wealth] availed you, and all the false pride of your past?

أَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِٱلَّذِينَأَقْسَمْتُمْلَايَنَالُهُمُٱللَّهُبِرَحْمَةٍٱدْخُلُوا۟ٱلْجَنَّةَلَاخَوْفٌعَلَيْكُمْوَلَآأَنتُمْتَحْزَنُونَ

Are those [blessed ones] the self-same people of whom you once solemnly declared, `Never will God bestow His grace upon them'? [For now they have been told,] `Enter paradise; no fear need you have, and neither shall you grieve!"'

وَنَادَىٰٓأَصْحَٰبُٱلنَّارِأَصْحَٰبَٱلْجَنَّةِأَنْأَفِيضُوا۟عَلَيْنَامِنَٱلْمَآءِأَوْمِمَّارَزَقَكُمُٱللَّهُقَالُوٓا۟إِنَّٱللَّهَحَرَّمَهُمَاعَلَىٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ

And the inmates of the fire will call out unto the inmates of paradise: "Pour some water upon us, or some of the sustenance [of paradise] which God has provided for you!" [The inmates of paradise] will reply: "Verily, God has denied both to those who have denied the truth -

ٱلَّذِينَٱتَّخَذُوا۟دِينَهُمْلَهْوًۭاوَلَعِبًۭاوَغَرَّتْهُمُٱلْحَيَوٰةُٱلدُّنْيَافَٱلْيَوْمَنَنسَىٰهُمْكَمَانَسُوا۟لِقَآءَيَوْمِهِمْهَٰذَاوَمَاكَانُوا۟بِـَٔايَٰتِنَايَجْحَدُونَ

those who, beguiled by the life of this world, have made play and passing delights their religion! [And God will say:] "And so We shall be oblivious of them today as they were oblivious of the coming of this their Day [of Judgment], and as Our messages they did deny:

وَلَقَدْجِئْنَٰهُمبِكِتَٰبٍۢفَصَّلْنَٰهُعَلَىٰعِلْمٍهُدًۭىوَرَحْمَةًۭلِّقَوْمٍۢيُؤْمِنُونَ

for, indeed, We did convey unto them a divine writ which We clearly, and wisely, spelled out - a guidance and a grace unto people who will believe."

هَلْيَنظُرُونَإِلَّاتَأْوِيلَهُۥيَوْمَيَأْتِىتَأْوِيلُهُۥيَقُولُٱلَّذِينَنَسُوهُمِنقَبْلُقَدْجَآءَتْرُسُلُرَبِّنَابِٱلْحَقِّفَهَللَّنَامِنشُفَعَآءَفَيَشْفَعُوا۟لَنَآأَوْنُرَدُّفَنَعْمَلَغَيْرَٱلَّذِىكُنَّانَعْمَلُقَدْخَسِرُوٓا۟أَنفُسَهُمْوَضَلَّعَنْهُممَّاكَانُوا۟يَفْتَرُونَ

Are [the unbelievers] but waiting for the final meaning of that [Day of Judgment] to unfold? [But] on the Day when its final meaning is unfolded, those who aforetime had been oblivious thereof will say: "Our Sustainer's apostles have indeed told us the truth! Have we, then, any intercessors who could intercede in our behalf? Or could we be brought back [to life] so that we might act otherwise than we were wont to act?" Indeed, they will have squandered their own selves, and all their false imagery will have forsaken them.

إِنَّرَبَّكُمُٱللَّهُٱلَّذِىخَلَقَٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِوَٱلْأَرْضَفِىسِتَّةِأَيَّامٍۢثُمَّٱسْتَوَىٰعَلَىٱلْعَرْشِيُغْشِىٱلَّيْلَٱلنَّهَارَيَطْلُبُهُۥحَثِيثًۭاوَٱلشَّمْسَوَٱلْقَمَرَوَٱلنُّجُومَمُسَخَّرَٰتٍۭبِأَمْرِهِۦٓأَلَالَهُٱلْخَلْقُوَٱلْأَمْرُتَبَارَكَٱللَّهُرَبُّٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

VERILY, your Sustainer is God, who has created the heavens and the earth in six aeons, and is established on the throne of His almightiness. He covers the day with the night in swift pursuit, with the sun and the moon and the stars subservient to His command: oh, verily, His is all creation and all command. Hallowed is God, the Sustainer of all the worlds!

ٱدْعُوا۟رَبَّكُمْتَضَرُّعًۭاوَخُفْيَةًإِنَّهُۥلَايُحِبُّٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ

Call unto your Sustainer humbly, and in the secrecy of your hearts. Verily, He loves not those who transgress the bounds of what is right:

وَلَاتُفْسِدُوا۟فِىٱلْأَرْضِبَعْدَإِصْلَٰحِهَاوَٱدْعُوهُخَوْفًۭاوَطَمَعًاإِنَّرَحْمَتَٱللَّهِقَرِيبٌۭمِّنَٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

hence, do not spread corruption on earth after it has been so well ordered. And call unto Him with fear and longing: verily, God's grace is ever near unto the doers of good!

وَهُوَٱلَّذِىيُرْسِلُٱلرِّيَٰحَبُشْرًۢابَيْنَيَدَىْرَحْمَتِهِۦحَتَّىٰٓإِذَآأَقَلَّتْسَحَابًۭاثِقَالًۭاسُقْنَٰهُلِبَلَدٍۢمَّيِّتٍۢفَأَنزَلْنَابِهِٱلْمَآءَفَأَخْرَجْنَابِهِۦمِنكُلِّٱلثَّمَرَٰتِكَذَٰلِكَنُخْرِجُٱلْمَوْتَىٰلَعَلَّكُمْتَذَكَّرُونَ

And He it is who sends forth the winds as a glad tiding of His coming grace-so that, when they have brought heavy clouds, We may drive them towards dead land and cause thereby water to descend; and by this means do We cause all manner of fruit to come forth. Even thus shall We cause the \dead to come forth: [and this] you ought to keep in mind.

وَٱلْبَلَدُٱلطَّيِّبُيَخْرُجُنَبَاتُهُۥبِإِذْنِرَبِّهِۦوَٱلَّذِىخَبُثَلَايَخْرُجُإِلَّانَكِدًۭاكَذَٰلِكَنُصَرِّفُٱلْءَايَٰتِلِقَوْمٍۢيَشْكُرُونَ

As for the good land, its vegetation comes forth [in abundance] by its Sustainer's leave, whereas from the bad it comes forth but poorly. Thus do We give many facets to Our messages for [the benefit of] people who are grateful!

لَقَدْأَرْسَلْنَانُوحًاإِلَىٰقَوْمِهِۦفَقَالَيَٰقَوْمِٱعْبُدُوا۟ٱللَّهَمَالَكُممِّنْإِلَٰهٍغَيْرُهُۥٓإِنِّىٓأَخَافُعَلَيْكُمْعَذَابَيَوْمٍعَظِيمٍۢ

INDEED, We sent forth Noah unto his people, and he said: "O my people! Worship God alone: you have no deity other than Him. Verily, I fear lest suffering befall you on an awesome Day!"

قَالَٱلْمَلَأُمِنقَوْمِهِۦٓإِنَّالَنَرَىٰكَفِىضَلَٰلٍۢمُّبِينٍۢ

The great ones among his people replied: "Verily, we see that thou art obviously lost in error!"
