Surah Yunus

وَمَاتَكُونُفِىشَأْنٍۢوَمَاتَتْلُوا۟مِنْهُمِنقُرْءَانٍۢوَلَاتَعْمَلُونَمِنْعَمَلٍإِلَّاكُنَّاعَلَيْكُمْشُهُودًاإِذْتُفِيضُونَفِيهِوَمَايَعْزُبُعَنرَّبِّكَمِنمِّثْقَالِذَرَّةٍۢفِىٱلْأَرْضِوَلَافِىٱلسَّمَآءِوَلَآأَصْغَرَمِنذَٰلِكَوَلَآأَكْبَرَإِلَّافِىكِتَٰبٍۢمُّبِينٍ

AND IN whatever condition thou mayest find thyself, [O Prophet,] and whatever discourse of this [divine writ] thou mayest be reciting, and whatever work you [all, O men,] may do -[remember that] We are your witness [from the moment] when you enter upon it: for, not even an atom's weight [of whatever there is] on earth or in heaven escapes thy Sustainer's knowledge; and neither is there anything smaller than that, or larger, but is recorded in [His] clear decree.

أَلَآإِنَّأَوْلِيَآءَٱللَّهِلَاخَوْفٌعَلَيْهِمْوَلَاهُمْيَحْزَنُونَ

Oh, verily, they who are close to God - no fear need they have, and neither shall they grieve:

ٱلَّذِينَءَامَنُوا۟وَكَانُوا۟يَتَّقُونَ

they who have attained to faith and have always been conscious of Him.

لَهُمُٱلْبُشْرَىٰفِىٱلْحَيَوٰةِٱلدُّنْيَاوَفِىٱلْءَاخِرَةِلَاتَبْدِيلَلِكَلِمَٰتِٱللَّهِذَٰلِكَهُوَٱلْفَوْزُٱلْعَظِيمُ

For them there is the glad tiding [of happiness] in the life of this world and in the life to come; [and since] nothing could ever alter [the outcome of] God's promises, this, this is the triumph supreme!

وَلَايَحْزُنكَقَوْلُهُمْإِنَّٱلْعِزَّةَلِلَّهِجَمِيعًاهُوَٱلسَّمِيعُٱلْعَلِيمُ

And be not grieved by the sayings of those [who deny the truth]. Behold, all might and glory belong to God alone: He alone is all-hearing, all-knowing.

أَلَآإِنَّلِلَّهِمَنفِىٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِوَمَنفِىٱلْأَرْضِوَمَايَتَّبِعُٱلَّذِينَيَدْعُونَمِندُونِٱللَّهِشُرَكَآءَإِنيَتَّبِعُونَإِلَّاٱلظَّنَّوَإِنْهُمْإِلَّايَخْرُصُونَ

OH, VERILY, unto God belongs whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on earth: hence, what is it that they follow-those who invoke, beside God. beings to whom they ascribe a share in His divinity? They follow but the conjectures [of others], and themselves do nothing but guess -

هُوَٱلَّذِىجَعَلَلَكُمُٱلَّيْلَلِتَسْكُنُوا۟فِيهِوَٱلنَّهَارَمُبْصِرًاإِنَّفِىذَٰلِكَلَءَايَٰتٍۢلِّقَوْمٍۢيَسْمَعُونَ

[whereas] it is He who has made the night for you, so that you might have rest therein, and the day, to make [you] see in this, behold, there are messages indeed for people who [are willing to] listen.

قَالُوا۟ٱتَّخَذَٱللَّهُوَلَدًۭاسُبْحَٰنَهُۥهُوَٱلْغَنِىُّلَهُۥمَافِىٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِوَمَافِىٱلْأَرْضِإِنْعِندَكُممِّنسُلْطَٰنٍۭبِهَٰذَآأَتَقُولُونَعَلَىٱللَّهِمَالَاتَعْلَمُونَ

[And yet] they assert, "God has taken unto Himself a son!" Limitless is He in His glory! Self-sufficient is He: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth! No evidence whatever have you for this [assertion]! Would you ascribe unto God something which you cannot know?

قُلْإِنَّٱلَّذِينَيَفْتَرُونَعَلَىٱللَّهِٱلْكَذِبَلَايُفْلِحُونَ

Say: "Verily, they who attribute their own lying inventions to God will never attain to a happy state!"

مَتَٰعٌۭفِىٱلدُّنْيَاثُمَّإِلَيْنَامَرْجِعُهُمْثُمَّنُذِيقُهُمُٱلْعَذَابَٱلشَّدِيدَبِمَاكَانُوا۟يَكْفُرُونَ

[A brief] enjoyment in this world-and thereafter unto Us they must return: and then We shall let them taste suffering severe as an outcome of their persistent denial of the truth.

وَٱتْلُعَلَيْهِمْنَبَأَنُوحٍإِذْقَالَلِقَوْمِهِۦيَٰقَوْمِإِنكَانَكَبُرَعَلَيْكُممَّقَامِىوَتَذْكِيرِىبِـَٔايَٰتِٱللَّهِفَعَلَىٱللَّهِتَوَكَّلْتُفَأَجْمِعُوٓا۟أَمْرَكُمْوَشُرَكَآءَكُمْثُمَّلَايَكُنْأَمْرُكُمْعَلَيْكُمْغُمَّةًۭثُمَّٱقْضُوٓا۟إِلَىَّوَلَاتُنظِرُونِ

AND CONVEY unto them the story of Noah-when he said unto his people: "O my people! If my presence [among you] and my announcement of God's messages are repugnant to you -well, in God have I placed my trust. Decide, then, upon what you are going to do [against me], and [call to your aid] those beings to whom you ascribe a share in God's divinity; and once you have chosen your course of action, let no hesitation deflect you from it; and then carry out against me [whatever you may have decided], and give me no respite!

فَإِنتَوَلَّيْتُمْفَمَاسَأَلْتُكُممِّنْأَجْرٍإِنْأَجْرِىَإِلَّاعَلَىٱللَّهِوَأُمِرْتُأَنْأَكُونَمِنَٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ

But if you turn away [from the message which I bear, remember that] I have asked no reward whatever of you: my reward rests with none but God, for I have been bidden to be among those who have surrendered themselves unto Him."

فَكَذَّبُوهُفَنَجَّيْنَٰهُوَمَنمَّعَهُۥفِىٱلْفُلْكِوَجَعَلْنَٰهُمْخَلَٰٓئِفَوَأَغْرَقْنَاٱلَّذِينَكَذَّبُوا۟بِـَٔايَٰتِنَافَٱنظُرْكَيْفَكَانَعَٰقِبَةُٱلْمُنذَرِينَ

And yet they gave him the lie! And so We saved him and all who stood by him, in the ark, and made them inherit [the earth], the while We caused those who gave the lie to Our messages to drown: behold, then, what happened in the end to those people who had been warned [in vain]!

ثُمَّبَعَثْنَامِنۢبَعْدِهِۦرُسُلًاإِلَىٰقَوْمِهِمْفَجَآءُوهُمبِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِفَمَاكَانُوا۟لِيُؤْمِنُوا۟بِمَاكَذَّبُوا۟بِهِۦمِنقَبْلُكَذَٰلِكَنَطْبَعُعَلَىٰقُلُوبِٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ

AND THEN, after him, We sent forth [other] apostles-each one unto his own people -and they brought them all evidence of the truth; but they would not believe in anything to which they had once given the lie: thus it is that We seal the hearts of such as [are wont to] transgress the bounds of what is right.

ثُمَّبَعَثْنَامِنۢبَعْدِهِممُّوسَىٰوَهَٰرُونَإِلَىٰفِرْعَوْنَوَمَلَإِي۟هِۦبِـَٔايَٰتِنَافَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟وَكَانُوا۟قَوْمًۭامُّجْرِمِينَ

And after those [earlier prophets] We sent Moses and Aaron with Our messages unto Pharaoh and his great ones: but they gloried in their arrogance, for they were people lost in sin.

فَلَمَّاجَآءَهُمُٱلْحَقُّمِنْعِندِنَاقَالُوٓا۟إِنَّهَٰذَالَسِحْرٌۭمُّبِينٌۭ

And so, when the truth came to them from Us, they said, "Behold, this is clearly nothing but sorcery!"

قَالَمُوسَىٰٓأَتَقُولُونَلِلْحَقِّلَمَّاجَآءَكُمْأَسِحْرٌهَٰذَاوَلَايُفْلِحُٱلسَّٰحِرُونَ

Said Moses: "Do you speak thus of the truth after it has been brought to you? Can this be sorcery? But sorcerers can never come to a happy end!"

قَالُوٓا۟أَجِئْتَنَالِتَلْفِتَنَاعَمَّاوَجَدْنَاعَلَيْهِءَابَآءَنَاوَتَكُونَلَكُمَاٱلْكِبْرِيَآءُفِىٱلْأَرْضِوَمَانَحْنُلَكُمَابِمُؤْمِنِينَ

[The great ones] replied: "Hast thou come to turn us away from what we found our forefathers believing in and doing, so that the two of you might become supreme in this land? However, we do not believe in you two!"

وَقَالَفِرْعَوْنُٱئْتُونِىبِكُلِّسَٰحِرٍعَلِيمٍۢ

And Pharaoh commanded: "Bring before me every sorcerer of great knowledge!"

فَلَمَّاجَآءَٱلسَّحَرَةُقَالَلَهُممُّوسَىٰٓأَلْقُوا۟مَآأَنتُممُّلْقُونَ

And when the sorcerers came, Moses said unto them: "Throw whatever you may [wish to] throw!"
