Surah Al-Hijr

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمْءَايَٰتِنَافَكَانُوا۟عَنْهَامُعْرِضِينَ

for We did vouchsafe them Our messages, but they obstinately turned their backs upon them-

وَكَانُوا۟يَنْحِتُونَمِنَٱلْجِبَالِبُيُوتًاءَامِنِينَ

notwithstanding that they had been wont [to enjoy Our blessings and] to hew out dwellings from the mountains, [wherein they could live] in security

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُٱلصَّيْحَةُمُصْبِحِينَ

and so the blast [of Our punishment] overtook them at early morn,

فَمَآأَغْنَىٰعَنْهُممَّاكَانُوا۟يَكْسِبُونَ

and of no avail to them was all [the power] that they had acquired.

وَمَاخَلَقْنَاٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِوَٱلْأَرْضَوَمَابَيْنَهُمَآإِلَّابِٱلْحَقِّوَإِنَّٱلسَّاعَةَلَءَاتِيَةٌۭفَٱصْفَحِٱلصَّفْحَٱلْجَمِيلَ

AND [remember:] We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them without [an inner] truth; but, behold, the Hour [when this will become clear to all] is indeed yet to come. Hence, forgive [men's failings] with fair forbearance:

إِنَّرَبَّكَهُوَٱلْخَلَّٰقُٱلْعَلِيمُ

verily, thy Sustainer is the all-knowing Creator of all things!

وَلَقَدْءَاتَيْنَٰكَسَبْعًۭامِّنَٱلْمَثَانِىوَٱلْقُرْءَانَٱلْعَظِيمَ

AND, INDEED, We have bestowed upon thee seven of the oft repeated [verses], and [have, thus, laid open before thee] this sublime Qur'an:

لَاتَمُدَّنَّعَيْنَيْكَإِلَىٰمَامَتَّعْنَابِهِۦٓأَزْوَٰجًۭامِّنْهُمْوَلَاتَحْزَنْعَلَيْهِمْوَٱخْفِضْجَنَاحَكَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

[so] turn, not thine eyes [longingly] towards the worldly benefits which We have granted unto some of those [that deny the truth]. And neither grieve over those [who refuse to heed thee], but spread the wings of thy tenderness over the believers,

وَقُلْإِنِّىٓأَنَاٱلنَّذِيرُٱلْمُبِينُ

and say: "Behold, I am indeed the plain warner [promised by God]!

كَمَآأَنزَلْنَاعَلَىٱلْمُقْتَسِمِينَ

[For, thou art the bearer of a divine writ] such as We have bestowed from on high upon those who [afterwards] broke it up into parts,

ٱلَّذِينَجَعَلُوا۟ٱلْقُرْءَانَعِضِينَ

[and] who [now] declare this Qur'an to be [a tissue of] falsehoods!

فَوَرَبِّكَلَنَسْـَٔلَنَّهُمْأَجْمَعِينَ

But, by thy Sustainer! [On the Day of Judgment] We shall indeed call them to account, one and all,

عَمَّاكَانُوا۟يَعْمَلُونَ

for whatever they have done!

فَٱصْدَعْبِمَاتُؤْمَرُوَأَعْرِضْعَنِٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ

Hence, proclaim openly all that thou hast been bidden [to say], and leave alone all those who ascribe divinity to aught beside God:

إِنَّاكَفَيْنَٰكَٱلْمُسْتَهْزِءِينَ

verily, We shall suffice thee against all who [now] deride [this message - all]

ٱلَّذِينَيَجْعَلُونَمَعَٱللَّهِإِلَٰهًاءَاخَرَفَسَوْفَيَعْلَمُونَ

who assert that there are, side by side with God, other divine powers as well: for in time they will come to know [the truth].

وَلَقَدْنَعْلَمُأَنَّكَيَضِيقُصَدْرُكَبِمَايَقُولُونَ

And well do We know that thy bosom is constricted by the [blasphemous] things that they say:

فَسَبِّحْبِحَمْدِرَبِّكَوَكُنمِّنَٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ

but extol thou thy Sustainer's limitless glory and praise Him, and be of those who prostrate themselves [before Him] in adoration,

وَٱعْبُدْرَبَّكَحَتَّىٰيَأْتِيَكَٱلْيَقِينُ

and worship thy Sustainer till death comes to thee.
