11. Hud

11:6

وَمَا مِنْ دَآبَّةٍ فِی الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا عَلَی اللّٰهِ رِزْقُهَا وَیَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا ؕ كُلٌّ فِیْ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِیْنٍ

There is no creature on earth whose sustenance is not undertaken by Allah. He knows its permanent and its temporary place. Everything is in a clear book.
11:7

وَهُوَ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ فِیْ سِتَّةِ اَیَّامٍ وَّكَانَ عَرْشُهٗ عَلَی الْمَآءِ لِیَبْلُوَكُمْ اَیُّكُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ؕ وَلَىِٕنْ قُلْتَ اِنَّكُمْ مَّبْعُوْثُوْنَ مِنْ بَعْدِ الْمَوْتِ لَیَقُوْلَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ

He is the One who created the heavens and the earth in six days, while His throne was on water, so that He might test you as to who among you is better in deed. And if you say, “You shall be raised after death,” the disbelievers will surely say, “This is nothing but sheer magic.”
11:8

وَلَىِٕنْ اَخَّرْنَا عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ اِلٰۤی اُمَّةٍ مَّعْدُوْدَةٍ لَّیَقُوْلُنَّ مَا یَحْبِسُهٗ ؕ اَلَا یَوْمَ یَاْتِیْهِمْ لَیْسَ مَصْرُوْفًا عَنْهُمْ وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ یَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ

And if We defer the punishment for them for a certain time, they will say, “What is holding it back?” Beware, the day it will visit them, it shall not be turned back from them, and they shall be besieged by what they used to ridicule.
11:9

وَلَىِٕنْ اَذَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعْنٰهَا مِنْهُ ۚ اِنَّهٗ لَیَـُٔوْسٌ كَفُوْرٌ

If We give man a taste of Our mercy and then take it away from him, he becomes highly desperate, utterly ungrateful.
11:10

وَلَىِٕنْ اَذَقْنٰهُ نَعْمَآءَ بَعْدَ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَیَقُوْلَنَّ ذَهَبَ السَّیِّاٰتُ عَنِّیْ ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَفَرِحٌ فَخُوْرٌ

And if We give him a taste of comfort after a hardship has touched him, he will say, “Evils have gone away from me”, (and thus) He will become over-exulting, boastful,
11:11

اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ صَبَرُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّاَجْرٌ كَبِیْرٌ

except those who are patient and do good deeds. Such people will have Allah’s forgiveness and a great reward.
11:12

فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكٌ بَعْضَ مَا یُوْحٰۤی اِلَیْكَ وَضَآىِٕقٌ بِهٖ صَدْرُكَ اَنْ یَّقُوْلُوْا لَوْلَاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَیْهِ كَنْزٌ اَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهٗ مَلَكٌ ؕ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ نَذِیْرٌ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ وَّكِیْلٌ

Is it then possible from you (O Prophet,) that you will abandon some of what is being revealed to you, and that your heart will be straitened thereby, because they say, “Why has a treasure not been sent down to him or an angel not come with him?” You are but a warner. And Allah takes care of everything.
11:13

اَمْ یَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰىهُ ؕ قُلْ فَاْتُوْا بِعَشْرِ سُوَرٍ مِّثْلِهٖ مُفْتَرَیٰتٍ وَّادْعُوْا مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ

Do they say that he has fabricated it? Say (to them), “Then bring ten Sūrahs like this, fabricated. And call whomsoever you can, other than Allah, if you are true.”
11:14

فَاِلَّمْ یَسْتَجِیْبُوْا لَكُمْ فَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ بِعِلْمِ اللّٰهِ وَاَنْ لَّاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ۚ فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ

So, if they do not respond to your call, then be assured that it has been sent down with the knowledge of Allah and that there is no god but He. So, do you submit?
11:15

مَنْ كَانَ یُرِیْدُ الْحَیٰوةَ الدُّنْیَا وَزِیْنَتَهَا نُوَفِّ اِلَیْهِمْ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فِیْهَا وَهُمْ فِیْهَا لَا یُبْخَسُوْنَ

Those who seek (merely) the worldly life and its beauty, We will fully recompense them herein for their acts, and their right will not be curtailed in this world.
11:16

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ لَیْسَ لَهُمْ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا النَّارُ ۖؗ وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُوْا فِیْهَا وَبٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ

Those are the people for whom there is nothing in the Hereafter except fire. Nullified will be whatever they worked herein, and void will be what they have been doing.
11:17

اَفَمَنْ كَانَ عَلٰی بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ وَیَتْلُوْهُ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْهُ وَمِنْ قَبْلِهٖ كِتٰبُ مُوْسٰۤی اِمَامًا وَّرَحْمَةً ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖ ؕ وَمَنْ یَّكْفُرْ بِهٖ مِنَ الْاَحْزَابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهٗ ۚ فَلَا تَكُ فِیْ مِرْیَةٍ مِّنْهُ ۗ اِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ

Then, can such people be equal to the one who has a clear proof from his Lord, followed by an evidence from within, and before which there was the Book of Mūsā, a guide and a mercy? Such people believe in it; and whoever of the groups denies its veracity, his promised place is the Fire. So, do not be in doubt about it. Surely, it is the truth from your Lord, but most of people do not believe.
11:18

وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰی عَلَی اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ یُعْرَضُوْنَ عَلٰی رَبِّهِمْ وَیَقُوْلُ الْاَشْهَادُ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَبُوْا عَلٰی رَبِّهِمْ ۚ اَلَا لَعْنَةُ اللّٰهِ عَلَی الظّٰلِمِیْنَ

Who is more unjust than the one who forges a lie against Allah? Such people will be presented before their Lord, and the witnesses will say, “These are the ones who lied against their Lord. Lo! the curse of Allah lies on the unjust,
11:19

الَّذِیْنَ یَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَیَبْغُوْنَهَا عِوَجًا ؕ وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ

the ones who prevent (people) from the way of Allah and seek crookedness in it, and who are deniers of the Hereafter.”
11:20

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَمْ یَكُوْنُوْا مُعْجِزِیْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ اَوْلِیَآءَ ۘ یُضٰعَفُ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ ؕ مَا كَانُوْا یَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ السَّمْعَ وَمَا كَانُوْا یُبْصِرُوْنَ

They were unable to frustrate (Allah’s plan) on the earth, and they had no supporters besides Allah. Punishment will be doubled for them. They were not able to hear, nor would they see.
11:21

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ خَسِرُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا یَفْتَرُوْنَ

Those are the ones who brought loss to their own selves, and all that they used to fabricate vanished from them.
11:22

لَا جَرَمَ اَنَّهُمْ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ هُمُ الْاَخْسَرُوْنَ

Essentially, they are the worst losers in the Hereafter.
11:23

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَاَخْبَتُوْۤا اِلٰی رَبِّهِمْ ۙ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِ ۚ هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ

Surely, those who believe and do good deeds and humble themselves before their Lord, those are the people of Paradise. There they shall live forever.
11:24

مَثَلُ الْفَرِیْقَیْنِ كَالْاَعْمٰی وَالْاَصَمِّ وَالْبَصِیْرِ وَالسَّمِیْعِ ؕ هَلْ یَسْتَوِیٰنِ مَثَلًا ؕ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ

The example of the two groups is that of a blind and deaf person on the one hand, and a seeing and hearing one on the other. Are the two equal when compared? Would you still pay no heed?
11:25

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰی قَوْمِهٖۤ ؗ اِنِّیْ لَكُمْ نَذِیْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ

We sent NūH to his people (saying to them): “I am here to warn you
11:26

اَنْ لَّا تَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلَّا اللّٰهَ ؕ اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَیْكُمْ عَذَابَ یَوْمٍ اَلِیْمٍ

that you should worship none but Allah, (otherwise) I fear for you the punishment of a painful day.”
11:27

فَقَالَ الْمَلَاُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖ مَا نَرٰىكَ اِلَّا بَشَرًا مِّثْلَنَا وَمَا نَرٰىكَ اتَّبَعَكَ اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ اَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِیَ الرَّاْیِ ۚ وَمَا نَرٰی لَكُمْ عَلَیْنَا مِنْ فَضْلٍۢ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كٰذِبِیْنَ

So the chiefs of his people who disbelieved replied, “We are not seeing that you are anything more than a man like us, and we are not seeing that any people have followed you except those who are the meanest among us, and we have not seen in you people any superiority over us; rather, we believe that you are liars.”
11:28

قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَیْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰی بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّیْ وَاٰتٰىنِیْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِهٖ فَعُمِّیَتْ عَلَیْكُمْ ؕ اَنُلْزِمُكُمُوْهَا وَاَنْتُمْ لَهَا كٰرِهُوْنَ

He said, “O my people, tell me, if I am on a clear path from my Lord, and He has bestowed mercy upon me from Himself which is hidden from your sight, shall we, then, impose it upon you by force, while you are averse to it?
11:29

وَیٰقَوْمِ لَاۤ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ مَالًا ؕ اِنْ اَجْرِیَ اِلَّا عَلَی اللّٰهِ وَمَاۤ اَنَا بِطَارِدِ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا ؕ اِنَّهُمْ مُّلٰقُوْا رَبِّهِمْ وَلٰكِنِّیْۤ اَرٰىكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُوْنَ

And, O my people, I do not demand from you any wealth for it. My reward is with none but Allah. And I am not the one who could drive the believers away. Surely, they will be meeting their Lord (gracefully), but I do see your behavior is that of ignorance.
11:30

وَیٰقَوْمِ مَنْ یَّنْصُرُنِیْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنْ طَرَدْتُّهُمْ ؕ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ

O my people, who would help me against (the punishment of) Allah, if I were to drive them away? Would you still take no lesson?
11:31

وَلَاۤ اَقُوْلُ لَكُمْ عِنْدِیْ خَزَآىِٕنُ اللّٰهِ وَلَاۤ اَعْلَمُ الْغَیْبَ وَلَاۤ اَقُوْلُ اِنِّیْ مَلَكٌ وَّلَاۤ اَقُوْلُ لِلَّذِیْنَ تَزْدَرِیْۤ اَعْیُنُكُمْ لَنْ یُّؤْتِیَهُمُ اللّٰهُ خَیْرًا ؕ اَللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْ ۖۚ اِنِّیْۤ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ

And I do not say to you that I have the treasures of Allah, nor that I have the knowledge of the unseen, nor do I say that I am an angel. Nor do I say (as you do) about those who are contemptible in your eyes that Allah will never award them any good; Allah knows best what lies in their hearts. (If I were to say so,) then, I would indeed be one of the unjust.”
11:32

قَالُوْا یٰنُوْحُ قَدْ جٰدَلْتَنَا فَاَكْثَرْتَ جِدَالَنَا فَاْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ

They said, “O NūH, you have debated with us, and debated too much. Now bring upon us what you threaten us with, if you are one of the truthful.”
11:33

قَالَ اِنَّمَا یَاْتِیْكُمْ بِهِ اللّٰهُ اِنْ شَآءَ وَمَاۤ اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِیْنَ

He said, “Only Allah will bring it to you, if He so wills, and you cannot frustrate (His will).
11:34

وَلَا یَنْفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِیْۤ اِنْ اَرَدْتُّ اَنْ اَنْصَحَ لَكُمْ اِنْ كَانَ اللّٰهُ یُرِیْدُ اَنْ یُّغْوِیَكُمْ ؕ هُوَ رَبُّكُمْ ۫ وَاِلَیْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ

My good counsel will not profit you, even though I wish you the best, if Allah wills to let you go astray. He is your Lord, and to Him you shall be made to return.”
11:35

اَمْ یَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰىهُ ؕ قُلْ اِنِ افْتَرَیْتُهٗ فَعَلَیَّ اِجْرَامِیْ وَاَنَا بَرِیْٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُجْرِمُوْنَ

Do they (the pagans of Makkah) still say that he (Muhammad) has forged it? Say, “If I have forged it, then, I am responsible for my sin, and I am free of the sins you commit.”
11:36

وَاُوْحِیَ اِلٰی نُوْحٍ اَنَّهٗ لَنْ یُّؤْمِنَ مِنْ قَوْمِكَ اِلَّا مَنْ قَدْ اٰمَنَ فَلَا تَبْتَىِٕسْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَفْعَلُوْنَ

And it was revealed to NūH: None of your people would come to believe any more, except those who have already believed. So, be not distressed by what they have been doing.
11:37

وَاصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِاَعْیُنِنَا وَوَحْیِنَا وَلَا تُخَاطِبْنِیْ فِی الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا ۚ اِنَّهُمْ مُّغْرَقُوْنَ

And make an ark under Our eyes and according to Our revelation; and do not speak to Me about those who have crossed the limits, as they are destined to be drowned.”
11:38

وَیَصْنَعُ الْفُلْكَ ۫ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَیْهِ مَلَاٌ مِّنْ قَوْمِهٖ سَخِرُوْا مِنْهُ ؕ قَالَ اِنْ تَسْخَرُوْا مِنَّا فَاِنَّا نَسْخَرُ مِنْكُمْ كَمَا تَسْخَرُوْنَ

He started making the Ark. Whenever the leaders of his people passed by him, they mocked at him. He said, “If you mock at us, we mock at you like you mock at us:
11:39

فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۙ مَنْ یَّاْتِیْهِ عَذَابٌ یُّخْزِیْهِ وَیَحِلُّ عَلَیْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِیْمٌ

So, you shall soon know who will be visited by a scourge that will humiliate him, and upon whom a lasting punishment will settle forever.”
11:40

حَتّٰۤی اِذَا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّوْرُ ۙ قُلْنَا احْمِلْ فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلٍّ زَوْجَیْنِ اثْنَیْنِ وَاَهْلَكَ اِلَّا مَنْ سَبَقَ عَلَیْهِ الْقَوْلُ وَمَنْ اٰمَنَ ؕ وَمَاۤ اٰمَنَ مَعَهٗۤ اِلَّا قَلِیْلٌ

At last, when Our command came and the oven overflowed, We said, “Take into the Ark a pair of two from every species, along with your family,-except those against whom the Word has already been pronounced-and (also take into it) those who have believed.” And there were only a few who had believed with him.
11:41

وَقَالَ ارْكَبُوْا فِیْهَا بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ مَؔجْرٖىهَا وَمُرْسٰىهَا ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّیْ لَغَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ

He (NūH) said, “Embark it. With the name of Allah it sails and anchors. Surely, my Lord is Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.
11:42

وَهِیَ تَجْرِیْ بِهِمْ فِیْ مَوْجٍ كَالْجِبَالِ ۫ وَنَادٰی نُوْحُ بْنَهٗ وَكَانَ فِیْ مَعْزِلٍ یّٰبُنَیَّ ارْكَبْ مَّعَنَا وَلَا تَكُنْ مَّعَ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ

And it was sailing with them amidst the waves like mountains. And NūH called out to his son, who was at an isolated place, “O my child, come on board with us, and do not be in the company of the disbelievers.”
11:43

قَالَ سَاٰوِیْۤ اِلٰی جَبَلٍ یَّعْصِمُنِیْ مِنَ الْمَآءِ ؕ قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ الْیَوْمَ مِنْ اَمْرِ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَ ۚ وَحَالَ بَیْنَهُمَا الْمَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُغْرَقِیْنَ

He said, “I shall take shelter on a mountain which will save me from the water.” He said, “There is no saver today from the command of Allah, except the one to whom He shows mercy.” And the waves rose high between the two, and he was among those who were drowned.
11:44

وَقِیْلَ یٰۤاَرْضُ ابْلَعِیْ مَآءَكِ وَیٰسَمَآءُ اَقْلِعِیْ وَغِیْضَ الْمَآءُ وَقُضِیَ الْاَمْرُ وَاسْتَوَتْ عَلَی الْجُوْدِیِّ وَقِیْلَ بُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ

It was said (by Allah), “O earth, suck in your water, and O heaven, stop.” And water subsided, and the matter was over. It (the Ark) came to rest on the Jūdī, and it was said, “Away with the wrongdoers.”
11:45

وَنَادٰی نُوْحٌ رَّبَّهٗ فَقَالَ رَبِّ اِنَّ ابْنِیْ مِنْ اَهْلِیْ وَاِنَّ وَعْدَكَ الْحَقُّ وَاَنْتَ اَحْكَمُ الْحٰكِمِیْنَ

NūH called unto his Lord and said, “My Lord, my son is a part of my family, and surely Your promise is true, and You are the greatest of all judges.”
11:46

قَالَ یٰنُوْحُ اِنَّهٗ لَیْسَ مِنْ اَهْلِكَ ۚ اِنَّهٗ عَمَلٌ غَیْرُ صَالِحٍ ۖؗۗ فَلَا تَسْـَٔلْنِ مَا لَیْسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ ؕ اِنِّیْۤ اَعِظُكَ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْجٰهِلِیْنَ

He said, “O NūH, in fact, he is not a part of your family. Indeed, he is (a man of) bad deeds. So do not ask Me something of which you have no knowledge. I exhort you not to be among the ignorant.”
11:47

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّیْۤ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ اَنْ اَسْـَٔلَكَ مَا لَیْسَ لِیْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ ؕ وَاِلَّا تَغْفِرْ لِیْ وَتَرْحَمْنِیْۤ اَكُنْ مِّنَ الْخٰسِرِیْنَ

He said, “My Lord, I seek refuge with You that I should ask You something of which I have no knowledge. If You do not forgive me and do not show mercy to me, I shall be among the losers.”
11:48

قِیْلَ یٰنُوْحُ اهْبِطْ بِسَلٰمٍ مِّنَّا وَبَرَكٰتٍ عَلَیْكَ وَعَلٰۤی اُمَمٍ مِّمَّنْ مَّعَكَ ؕ وَاُمَمٌ سَنُمَتِّعُهُمْ ثُمَّ یَمَسُّهُمْ مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ

It was said, “O NūH, disembark in peace from Us and with blessings upon you and upon the peoples (springing) from those with you. And there are peoples whom We shall give some enjoyment, then a painful punishment from Us will visit them.”
11:49

تِلْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ الْغَیْبِ نُوْحِیْهَاۤ اِلَیْكَ ۚ مَا كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُهَاۤ اَنْتَ وَلَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ هٰذَا ۛؕ فَاصْبِرْ ۛؕ اِنَّ الْعَاقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِیْنَ

These are some reports from the unseen (events), which We reveal to you. You did not know them before this, neither you nor your people. So, be patient. Surely, the end is in favor of the God-fearing.
11:50

وَاِلٰی عَادٍ اَخَاهُمْ هُوْدًا ؕ قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَیْرُهٗ ؕ اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا مُفْتَرُوْنَ

And to ‘Ād, (We sent) their brother Hūd. He said, “O my people, worship Allah. You have no god other than Him. You are nothing but fabricators.
11:51

یٰقَوْمِ لَاۤ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ اَجْرًا ؕ اِنْ اَجْرِیَ اِلَّا عَلَی الَّذِیْ فَطَرَنِیْ ؕ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ

O my people, I ask you no reward for it. My reward is only on the One who created me. Do you, then, not understand?
11:52

وَیٰقَوْمِ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ یُرْسِلِ السَّمَآءَ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّدْرَارًا وَّیَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّةً اِلٰی قُوَّتِكُمْ وَلَا تَتَوَلَّوْا مُجْرِمِیْنَ

O my people, seek forgiveness from your Lord, then turn to Him in repentance, and He will release the heavens pouring upon you, and will add strength to your strength, and do not turn away like sinners.”
11:53

قَالُوْا یٰهُوْدُ مَا جِئْتَنَا بِبَیِّنَةٍ وَّمَا نَحْنُ بِتَارِكِیْۤ اٰلِهَتِنَا عَنْ قَوْلِكَ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِیْنَ

They said, “O Hūd, you did not bring to us any proof, and we are not to leave our gods on your statement, and we are not to believe in you.
11:54

اِنْ نَّقُوْلُ اِلَّا اعْتَرٰىكَ بَعْضُ اٰلِهَتِنَا بِسُوْٓءٍ ؕ قَالَ اِنِّیْۤ اُشْهِدُ اللّٰهَ وَاشْهَدُوْۤا اَنِّیْ بَرِیْٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُوْنَ

We do not say except that some of our gods have subjected you to some evil.” He said, “I make Allah my witness, and you bear witness that I have nothing to do with what you take as gods
11:55

مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ فَكِیْدُوْنِیْ جَمِیْعًا ثُمَّ لَا تُنْظِرُوْنِ

besides Him. So, try your plans against me, all of you together, then give me no respite.
11:56

اِنِّیْ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَی اللّٰهِ رَبِّیْ وَرَبِّكُمْ ؕ مَا مِنْ دَآبَّةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ اٰخِذٌ بِنَاصِیَتِهَا ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّیْ عَلٰی صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ

I place my trust in Allah who is my Lord and your Lord. There is no creature but He holds it by the forelock. Surely, my Lord is on a straight path.
11:57

فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقَدْ اَبْلَغْتُكُمْ مَّاۤ اُرْسِلْتُ بِهٖۤ اِلَیْكُمْ ؕ وَیَسْتَخْلِفُ رَبِّیْ قَوْمًا غَیْرَكُمْ ۚ وَلَا تَضُرُّوْنَهٗ شَیْـًٔا ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّیْ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ حَفِیْظٌ

Now, if you turn away, I have already conveyed to you the message with which I was sent to you. My Lord will replace you with some other people, and you cannot do Him any harm. Surely, my Lord is guardian over every thing.”
11:58

وَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّیْنَا هُوْدًا وَّالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا ۚ وَنَجَّیْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِیْظٍ

So, when came Our command, We saved Hūd and those who believed along with him, out of mercy from Us, and We did save them from a heavy punishment.
11:59

وَتِلْكَ عَادٌ ۙ۫ جَحَدُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَصَوْا رُسُلَهٗ وَاتَّبَعُوْۤا اَمْرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِیْدٍ

Such was the tribe of ‘Ād who rejected the signs of their Lord, disobeyed their Messengers and followed the dictates of every obstinate tyrant!
11:60

وَاُتْبِعُوْا فِیْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْیَا لَعْنَةً وَّیَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ عَادًا كَفَرُوْا رَبَّهُمْ ؕ اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّعَادٍ قَوْمِ هُوْدٍ

A curse was made to pursue them in this world and on the Day of Judgment. Lo! The people of ‘Ād disbelieved their Lord. Lo! Ruined were ‘Ād, the people of Hūd.
11:61

وَاِلٰی ثَمُوْدَ اَخَاهُمْ صٰلِحًا ۘ قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَیْرُهٗ ؕ هُوَ اَنْشَاَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ وَاسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِیْهَا فَاسْتَغْفِرُوْهُ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّیْ قَرِیْبٌ مُّجِیْبٌ

And to (the people of) Thamūd (We sent) their brother, SāliH. He said, “O my people, worship Allah. You have no god other than Him. He has created you from earth and made you settle therein. So, seek His forgiveness, then turn to Him in repentance. Surely, my Lord is near, responsive to the prayers.”
11:62

قَالُوْا یٰصٰلِحُ قَدْ كُنْتَ فِیْنَا مَرْجُوًّا قَبْلَ هٰذَاۤ اَتَنْهٰىنَاۤ اَنْ نَّعْبُدَ مَا یَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَا وَاِنَّنَا لَفِیْ شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدْعُوْنَاۤ اِلَیْهِ مُرِیْبٍ

They said, “O SāliH, we had hopes in you before this. Do you ask us not to worship what our fathers used to worship? We have serious doubts that have disturbed us about the faith to which you are calling us.”
11:63

قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَیْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰی بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّیْ وَاٰتٰىنِیْ مِنْهُ رَحْمَةً فَمَنْ یَّنْصُرُنِیْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنْ عَصَیْتُهٗ ۫ فَمَا تَزِیْدُوْنَنِیْ غَیْرَ تَخْسِیْرٍ

He said, “O my people, tell me: If I have a clear proof from my Lord, and He has bestowed mercy upon me from Himself, who will come to my help against Allah, if I still disobey Him? So, you extend nothing to me but loss.
11:64

وَیٰقَوْمِ هٰذِهٖ نَاقَةُ اللّٰهِ لَكُمْ اٰیَةً فَذَرُوْهَا تَاْكُلْ فِیْۤ اَرْضِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا تَمَسُّوْهَا بِسُوْٓءٍ فَیَاْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ قَرِیْبٌ

And O my people, this is the she-camel of Allah, a sign for you. So, leave her free to eat on the earth of Allah, and do not even touch her with evil (intention), lest an approaching punishment should seize you.”
11:65

فَعَقَرُوْهَا فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعُوْا فِیْ دَارِكُمْ ثَلٰثَةَ اَیَّامٍ ؕ ذٰلِكَ وَعْدٌ غَیْرُ مَكْذُوْبٍ

Then they slaughtered her. So, he said, “Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days (only). That is a promise, not to be backed out.”
11:66

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّیْنَا صٰلِحًا وَّالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَمِنْ خِزْیِ یَوْمِىِٕذٍ ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْقَوِیُّ الْعَزِیْزُ

So, when came Our command, We saved SāliH and those who believed along with Him, out of mercy from Us, and (We saved them) from the disgrace of that day. Surely, your Lord is the Powerful, the All Mighty.
11:67

وَاَخَذَ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّیْحَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِیْ دِیَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِیْنَ

And those who transgressed were caught by the Cry, and they were found dead in their homes, fallen on their knees,
11:68

كَاَنْ لَّمْ یَغْنَوْا فِیْهَا ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ ثَمُوْدَاۡ كَفَرُوْا رَبَّهُمْ ؕ اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّثَمُوْدَ

as though they had never lived there. Lo! The people of Thamūd disbelieved their Lord. Lo! Ruined were the people of Thamūd.
11:69

وَلَقَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَاۤ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ بِالْبُشْرٰی قَالُوْا سَلٰمًا ؕ قَالَ سَلٰمٌ فَمَا لَبِثَ اَنْ جَآءَ بِعِجْلٍ حَنِیْذٍ

And Our emissaries came to Ibrāhīm with the good news. They greeted him with “Salām (peace).” He said, “Salām.” Then he took not much time in bringing a roasted calf.
11:70

فَلَمَّا رَاٰۤ اَیْدِیَهُمْ لَا تَصِلُ اِلَیْهِ نَكِرَهُمْ وَاَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِیْفَةً ؕ قَالُوْا لَا تَخَفْ اِنَّاۤ اُرْسِلْنَاۤ اِلٰی قَوْمِ لُوْطٍ

So, when he noticed their hands not acceding to it, he found them strange and felt scared of them. They said, “Be not scared. We have been sent to the people of LūT.”
11:71

وَامْرَاَتُهٗ قَآىِٕمَةٌ فَضَحِكَتْ فَبَشَّرْنٰهَا بِاِسْحٰقَ ۙ وَمِنْ وَّرَآءِ اِسْحٰقَ یَعْقُوْبَ

His wife was standing (nearby), and she laughed. Thus We gave her the good news about IsHāq, and about Ya‘qūb after IsHāq.
11:72

قَالَتْ یٰوَیْلَتٰۤی ءَاَلِدُ وَاَنَا عَجُوْزٌ وَّهٰذَا بَعْلِیْ شَیْخًا ؕ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَشَیْءٌ عَجِیْبٌ

She said, “Woe to me! Shall I give birth to a child while I am an old woman and this is my husband, an old man? This is something amazing indeed.”
11:73

قَالُوْۤا اَتَعْجَبِیْنَ مِنْ اَمْرِ اللّٰهِ رَحْمَتُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكٰتُهٗ عَلَیْكُمْ اَهْلَ الْبَیْتِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ حَمِیْدٌ مَّجِیْدٌ

They said, “Do you marvel at Allah’s command? Allah’s mercy and His blessings have always been upon you, O people of the house. Surely, He is Praiseworthy, Glorious.”
11:74

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنْ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ الرَّوْعُ وَجَآءَتْهُ الْبُشْرٰی یُجَادِلُنَا فِیْ قَوْمِ لُوْطٍ

So, when fear left Ibrāhīm and the happy news came to him, he started disputing with Us for the people of LūT.
11:75

اِنَّ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ لَحَلِیْمٌ اَوَّاهٌ مُّنِیْبٌ

Surely, Ibrāhīm is forbearing, very penitent, ever-turning to Allah.
11:76

یٰۤاِبْرٰهِیْمُ اَعْرِضْ عَنْ هٰذَا ۚ اِنَّهٗ قَدْ جَآءَ اَمْرُ رَبِّكَ ۚ وَاِنَّهُمْ اٰتِیْهِمْ عَذَابٌ غَیْرُ مَرْدُوْدٍ

“O Ibrāhīm! Leave it. In fact, the command of your Lord has come to pass, and there has to come upon them a punishment that cannot be averted.”
11:77

وَلَمَّا جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوْطًا سِیْٓءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَّقَالَ هٰذَا یَوْمٌ عَصِیْبٌ

When Our emissaries (angels) came to LūT, he was saddened because of them, and his heart felt uneasy for their sake, and He said, “This is a very hard day.”
11:78

وَجَآءَهٗ قَوْمُهٗ یُهْرَعُوْنَ اِلَیْهِ ؕ وَمِنْ قَبْلُ كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ السَّیِّاٰتِ ؕ قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِیْ هُنَّ اَطْهَرُ لَكُمْ فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَلَا تُخْزُوْنِ فِیْ ضَیْفِیْ ؕ اَلَیْسَ مِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَّشِیْدٌ

And his people came to him, rushing upon him. They were already habitual to commit evil deeds. He said, “These are my daughters. They are purer for you.So, have fear of Allah and do not disgrace me in respect of my guests. Is there no reasonable man among you?”
11:79

قَالُوْا لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا لَنَا فِیْ بَنٰتِكَ مِنْ حَقٍّ ۚ وَاِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ مَا نُرِیْدُ

They said, “You know that we have no claim on your daughters, and you know well what we want.”
11:80

قَالَ لَوْ اَنَّ لِیْ بِكُمْ قُوَّةً اَوْ اٰوِیْۤ اِلٰی رُكْنٍ شَدِیْدٍ

He said, “Would that I had some power over you, or could seek refuge in a strong support!”
11:81

قَالُوْا یٰلُوْطُ اِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَنْ یَّصِلُوْۤا اِلَیْكَ فَاَسْرِ بِاَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ الَّیْلِ وَلَا یَلْتَفِتْ مِنْكُمْ اَحَدٌ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَكَ ؕ اِنَّهٗ مُصِیْبُهَا مَاۤ اَصَابَهُمْ ؕ اِنَّ مَوْعِدَهُمُ الصُّبْحُ ؕ اَلَیْسَ الصُّبْحُ بِقَرِیْبٍ

They (the angels) said, “O LūT, we are emissaries of your Lord. They shall never reach you. So, move with your family in a part of night, and none of you shall turn to look back; except your woman. There has to befall her whatever will befall them. Their deadline is the morning. Is it not that the morning is near?”
11:82

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا جَعَلْنَا عَالِیَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَاَمْطَرْنَا عَلَیْهَا حِجَارَةً مِّنْ سِجِّیْلٍ ۙ۬ مَّنْضُوْدٍ

So, when Our command came to pass, We turned their habitations upside down, and rained on it stones of hard clay, one over another
11:83

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ؕ وَمَا هِیَ مِنَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ بِبَعِیْدٍ

marked from your Lord. And it is not far from the transgressors.
11:84

وَاِلٰی مَدْیَنَ اَخَاهُمْ شُعَیْبًا ؕ قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَیْرُهٗ ؕ وَلَا تَنْقُصُوا الْمِكْیَالَ وَالْمِیْزَانَ اِنِّیْۤ اَرٰىكُمْ بِخَیْرٍ وَّاِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَیْكُمْ عَذَابَ یَوْمٍ مُّحِیْطٍ

And to Madyan (We sent) their brother, Shu‘aib. He said, “O my people, worship Allah. You have no god other than Him. And do not curtail the measure and the weight. I see you quite well off, and I fear for you the punishment of an encircling day.
11:85

وَیٰقَوْمِ اَوْفُوا الْمِكْیَالَ وَالْمِیْزَانَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ اَشْیَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِیْنَ

And O my people, perfect the measure and the balance with justice and do not make the people short of their things, and do not go about the earth spreading disorder.
11:86

بَقِیَّتُ اللّٰهِ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ ۚ۬ وَمَاۤ اَنَا عَلَیْكُمْ بِحَفِیْظٍ

Whatever is allowed by Allah to retain (lawfully) is better for you, if you are believers. And I am not a watchman over you.
11:87

قَالُوْا یٰشُعَیْبُ اَصَلٰوتُكَ تَاْمُرُكَ اَنْ نَّتْرُكَ مَا یَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَاۤ اَوْ اَنْ نَّفْعَلَ فِیْۤ اَمْوَالِنَا مَا نَشٰٓؤُا ؕ اِنَّكَ لَاَنْتَ الْحَلِیْمُ الرَّشِیْدُ

They said, “O Shu‘aib, does your Salāh (prayer) command you that we should forsake what our fathers used to worship or that we should not deal with our wealth as we please? You pretend to be the only man of wisdom and guidance.”
11:88

قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَیْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰی بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّیْ وَرَزَقَنِیْ مِنْهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًا ؕ وَمَاۤ اُرِیْدُ اَنْ اُخَالِفَكُمْ اِلٰی مَاۤ اَنْهٰىكُمْ عَنْهُ ؕ اِنْ اُرِیْدُ اِلَّا الْاِصْلَاحَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ ؕ وَمَا تَوْفِیْقِیْۤ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ ؕ عَلَیْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَاِلَیْهِ اُنِیْبُ

He said, “O my people, tell me, if I am on a clear path from my Lord and He has provided me with a good provision from Himself, (should I still leave you unguided?) I do not want to do in your absence what I forbid you from. I want nothing but to set things right as far as I can. My ability to do any thing comes from none but Allah. In Him alone I have placed my trust and to Him alone I turn in humbleness.
11:89

وَیٰقَوْمِ لَا یَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شِقَاقِیْۤ اَنْ یُّصِیْبَكُمْ مِّثْلُ مَاۤ اَصَابَ قَوْمَ نُوْحٍ اَوْ قَوْمَ هُوْدٍ اَوْ قَوْمَ صٰلِحٍ ؕ وَمَا قَوْمُ لُوْطٍ مِّنْكُمْ بِبَعِیْدٍ

O my people, let not your hostility towards me cause you to suffer what was suffered by the people of NūH, or the people of Hūd, or the people of SāliH. And the people of LūT are not far from you.
11:90

وَاسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّیْ رَحِیْمٌ وَّدُوْدٌ

Seek forgiveness from your Lord, then turn towards Him in repentance. Surely, my Lord is very merciful, most loving.”
11:91

قَالُوْا یٰشُعَیْبُ مَا نَفْقَهُ كَثِیْرًا مِّمَّا تَقُوْلُ وَاِنَّا لَنَرٰىكَ فِیْنَا ضَعِیْفًا ۚ وَلَوْلَا رَهْطُكَ لَرَجَمْنٰكَ ؗ وَمَاۤ اَنْتَ عَلَیْنَا بِعَزِیْزٍ

They said, “O Shu‘aib, we do not understand much of what you say, and, in fact, we see you are weak among us. But for your clan, we would have stoned you. And to us, you are not a man of respect.”
11:92

قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اَرَهْطِیْۤ اَعَزُّ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاتَّخَذْتُمُوْهُ وَرَآءَكُمْ ظِهْرِیًّا ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّیْ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ مُحِیْطٌ

He said, “O my people, is my clan more respectable to you than Allah, as you have taken Him as something thrown behind your backs? Surely, my Lord encompasses all that you do.
11:93

وَیٰقَوْمِ اعْمَلُوْا عَلٰی مَكَانَتِكُمْ اِنِّیْ عَامِلٌ ؕ سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۙ مَنْ یَّاْتِیْهِ عَذَابٌ یُّخْزِیْهِ وَمَنْ هُوَ كَاذِبٌ ؕ وَارْتَقِبُوْۤا اِنِّیْ مَعَكُمْ رَقِیْبٌ

O my people, do what you can, I am to do (what I can). Soon you will know the one whom the punishment will visit, putting him to disgrace, and the one who is false. And wait. I am, with you, waiting.”
11:94

وَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّیْنَا شُعَیْبًا وَّالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَاَخَذَتِ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّیْحَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِیْ دِیَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِیْنَ

And when Our command came, We saved Shu‘aib and those who believed along with him, out of mercy from Us; and those who transgressed were caught by the Cry, and they were found (dead) in their homes, fallen on their knees
11:95

كَاَنْ لَّمْ یَغْنَوْا فِیْهَا ؕ اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّمَدْیَنَ كَمَا بَعِدَتْ ثَمُوْدُ

as though they never lived there. Lo! Ruined were Madyan, like Thamūd were ruined.
11:96

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مُوْسٰی بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِیْنٍ

And We sent Mūsā, with Our signs and with clear proof,
11:97

اِلٰی فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَاۡىِٕهٖ فَاتَّبَعُوْۤا اَمْرَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ وَمَاۤ اَمْرُ فِرْعَوْنَ بِرَشِیْدٍ

to Pharaoh and his group. So, they followed the command of Pharaoh, while the command of Pharaoh was not right.
11:98

یَقْدُمُ قَوْمَهٗ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ فَاَوْرَدَهُمُ النَّارَ ؕ وَبِئْسَ الْوِرْدُ الْمَوْرُوْدُ

He will lead his people on the Day of Judgement, and make them descend into the Fire. And it is the evil descending place.
11:99

وَاُتْبِعُوْا فِیْ هٰذِهٖ لَعْنَةً وَّیَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ ؕ بِئْسَ الرِّفْدُ الْمَرْفُوْدُ

The curse was made to pursue them here and on the Day of Judgement. It is the evil reward to be offered.
11:100

ذٰلِكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ الْقُرٰی نَقُصُّهٗ عَلَیْكَ مِنْهَا قَآىِٕمٌ وَّحَصِیْدٌ

That is a part of stories of the towns that We narrate to you. Some of them are still standing, and (some are) eradicated like a harvested field.
11:101

وَمَا ظَلَمْنٰهُمْ وَلٰكِنْ ظَلَمُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ فَمَاۤ اَغْنَتْ عَنْهُمْ اٰلِهَتُهُمُ الَّتِیْ یَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَیْءٍ لَّمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُ رَبِّكَ ؕ وَمَا زَادُوْهُمْ غَیْرَ تَتْبِیْبٍ

We did no wrong to them; rather, they have wronged themselves. So, their gods whom they used to invoke beside Allah did not come to their help in any way, when came the command of your Lord, and they added nothing to them except destruction.
11:102

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَخْذُ رَبِّكَ اِذَاۤ اَخَذَ الْقُرٰی وَهِیَ ظَالِمَةٌ ؕ اِنَّ اَخْذَهٗۤ اَلِیْمٌ شَدِیْدٌ

Such is the seizing of your Lord when He seizes the (people of) towns when they are transgressing. Indeed, His seizing is painful, severe.
11:103

اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَةً لِّمَنْ خَافَ عَذَابَ الْاٰخِرَةِ ؕ ذٰلِكَ یَوْمٌ مَّجْمُوْعٌ ۙ لَّهُ النَّاسُ وَذٰلِكَ یَوْمٌ مَّشْهُوْدٌ

In this there is a sign for the one who fears the punishment of the Hereafter. That is a day when all the people shall be gathered together, and that is a day which will be witnessed by all.
11:104

وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهٗۤ اِلَّا لِاَجَلٍ مَّعْدُوْدٍ

We do not defer it but for a limited term.
11:105

یَوْمَ یَاْتِ لَا تَكَلَّمُ نَفْسٌ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِهٖ ۚ فَمِنْهُمْ شَقِیٌّ وَّسَعِیْدٌ

The day it comes no one shall speak except by His leave. So, some of them will be wretched and (some) blessed.
11:106

فَاَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ شَقُوْا فَفِی النَّارِ لَهُمْ فِیْهَا زَفِیْرٌ وَّشَهِیْقٌ

As for those who are wretched, they shall be in the Fire. For them there is (nothing but) crying and howling.
11:107

خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالْاَرْضُ اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَ ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا یُرِیْدُ

They shall remain there forever, as long as the heavens and the earth remain intact, unless your Lord wills (otherwise). Surely, your Lord does what He intends.
11:108

وَاَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ سُعِدُوْا فَفِی الْجَنَّةِ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالْاَرْضُ اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَ ؕ عَطَآءً غَیْرَ مَجْذُوْذٍ

As for those who are blessed, they shall be in Paradise living there forever, as long as the heavens and the earth remain intact, unless your Lord wills (otherwise), It will be an award never to be ceased.
11:109

فَلَا تَكُ فِیْ مِرْیَةٍ مِّمَّا یَعْبُدُ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ ؕ مَا یَعْبُدُوْنَ اِلَّا كَمَا یَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُهُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُ ؕ وَاِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوْهُمْ نَصِیْبَهُمْ غَیْرَ مَنْقُوْصٍ

So, be not in doubt about what they worship. They worship only in the way their fathers used to worship earlier. Surely, We are going to pay them their full share, not curtailed in the least.
11:110

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا مُوْسَی الْكِتٰبَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فِیْهِ ؕ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِیَ بَیْنَهُمْ ؕ وَاِنَّهُمْ لَفِیْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِیْبٍ

And We gave Mūsā the Book, then it was disputed about. But for a word from your Lord that had already come to pass, the matter would have been decided between them. Surely, they are in confounding doubt about it.
11:111

وَاِنَّ كُلًّا لَّمَّا لَیُوَفِّیَنَّهُمْ رَبُّكَ اَعْمَالَهُمْ ؕ اِنَّهٗ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِیْرٌ

And to all of them, your Lord shall pay for their deeds in full. Surely, He is aware of all that they do.
11:112

فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَاۤ اُمِرْتَ وَمَنْ تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلَا تَطْغَوْا ؕ اِنَّهٗ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ

So, stand firm (on faith) as you have been commanded, as well as those who having repented (from disbelief) have joined you, and do not cross the limits. Surely, He is watchful of what you do.
11:113

وَلَا تَرْكَنُوْۤا اِلَی الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُ ۙ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ اَوْلِیَآءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْصَرُوْنَ

And do not incline towards the wrongdoers, lest the Fire should catch you, and you have no supporters other than Allah, then you should not be helped.
11:114

وَاَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ طَرَفَیِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِّنَ الَّیْلِ ؕ اِنَّ الْحَسَنٰتِ یُذْهِبْنَ السَّیِّاٰتِ ؕ ذٰلِكَ ذِكْرٰی لِلذّٰكِرِیْنَ

Establish Salāh at both ends of the day, and in the early hours of the night. Surely, good deeds erase bad deeds. That is a reminder for the mindful.
11:115

وَاصْبِرْ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُضِیْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ

And be patient, for Allah does not let the reward of the righteous go to waste.
11:116

فَلَوْلَا كَانَ مِنَ الْقُرُوْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ اُولُوْا بَقِیَّةٍ یَّنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْفَسَادِ فِی الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا مِّمَّنْ اَنْجَیْنَا مِنْهُمْ ۚ وَاتَّبَعَ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مَاۤ اُتْرِفُوْا فِیْهِ وَكَانُوْا مُجْرِمِیْنَ

Then, why is it that there were no people, among the generations before you, who would have enough remnants of wisdom to stop others from creating disorder in the land, except a few among them whom We saved (from Our punishment)? And the wrongdoers pursued the luxuries they were involved in, and they became sinners.
11:117

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِیُهْلِكَ الْقُرٰی بِظُلْمٍ وَّاَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُوْنَ

Your Lord is not such that He would destroy the towns unjustly while their people are good in their ways.
11:118

وَلَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ النَّاسَ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً وَّلَا یَزَالُوْنَ مُخْتَلِفِیْنَ

Had your Lord willed, He would have made all the people a single community. But, they will continue in their differences,
11:119

اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَ ؕ وَلِذٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمْ ؕ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَاَمْلَـَٔنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ اَجْمَعِیْنَ

except those whom Allah has blessed with mercy, and for that He has created them. And perfect is the word of your Lord: “I will surely fill the Hell with Jinns and the human beings, all together.”
11:120

وَكُلًّا نَّقُصُّ عَلَیْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ الرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهٖ فُؤَادَكَ ۚ وَجَآءَكَ فِیْ هٰذِهِ الْحَقُّ وَمَوْعِظَةٌ وَّذِكْرٰی لِلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ

We narrate to you all such stories from the events of the messengers as We strengthen your heart therewith. And in these (stories) there has come to you the truth, a good counsel and a reminder to those who believe.
11:121

وَقُلْ لِّلَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ اعْمَلُوْا عَلٰی مَكَانَتِكُمْ ؕ اِنَّا عٰمِلُوْنَ

Say to those who do not believe, “Do whatever you can. We are doing (what we can).
11:122

وَانْتَظِرُوْا ۚ اِنَّا مُنْتَظِرُوْنَ

And wait. We too are waiting.”
11:123

وَلِلّٰهِ غَیْبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَاِلَیْهِ یُرْجَعُ الْاَمْرُ كُلُّهٗ فَاعْبُدْهُ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَیْهِ ؕ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ

To Allah belong the secrets of the heavens and the earth, and to Him the entire matter shall be returned. So worship Him and have trust in Him. Your Lord is not unaware of what you do.

12. Yusuf

12:1

الٓرٰ ۫ تِلْكَ اٰیٰتُ الْكِتٰبِ الْمُبِیْنِ

Alif Lām Rā. These are verses of the enlightening Book.
12:2

اِنَّاۤ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ قُرْءٰنًا عَرَبِیًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ

We have sent it down, as an Arabic Qur’an, so that you may understand.
12:3

نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَیْكَ اَحْسَنَ الْقَصَصِ بِمَاۤ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلَیْكَ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ ۖۗ وَاِنْ كُنْتَ مِنْ قَبْلِهٖ لَمِنَ الْغٰفِلِیْنَ

By revealing this Qur’an to you, we hereby narrate to you the best narrative, while before this you were among those unaware (of it).
12:4

اِذْ قَالَ یُوْسُفُ لِاَبِیْهِ یٰۤاَبَتِ اِنِّیْ رَاَیْتُ اَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوْكَبًا وَّالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ رَاَیْتُهُمْ لِیْ سٰجِدِیْنَ

(It happened) when Yūsuf said to his father, “My father, I saw (in dream) eleven stars and the Sun and the Moon; I saw them all fallen prostrate before me.’’
12:5

قَالَ یٰبُنَیَّ لَا تَقْصُصْ رُءْیَاكَ عَلٰۤی اِخْوَتِكَ فَیَكِیْدُوْا لَكَ كَیْدًا ؕ اِنَّ الشَّیْطٰنَ لِلْاِنْسَانِ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِیْنٌ

He said, “My son, do not relate your dream to your brothers, lest they should devise a plan against you. Surely, Satan is an open enemy for mankind.
12:6

وَكَذٰلِكَ یَجْتَبِیْكَ رَبُّكَ وَیُعَلِّمُكَ مِنْ تَاْوِیْلِ الْاَحَادِیْثِ وَیُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهٗ عَلَیْكَ وَعَلٰۤی اٰلِ یَعْقُوْبَ كَمَاۤ اَتَمَّهَا عَلٰۤی اَبَوَیْكَ مِنْ قَبْلُ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ وَاِسْحٰقَ ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ

And it will be in this way that your Lord will choose you and teach you the correct interpretation of events, and will perfect His bounty upon you and upon the House of Ya‘qūb, as He has perfected it earlier upon your fore-fathers, Ibrāhīm and IsHāq. Surely, your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing.”
12:7

لَقَدْ كَانَ فِیْ یُوْسُفَ وَاِخْوَتِهٖۤ اٰیٰتٌ لِّلسَّآىِٕلِیْنَ

Surely, in (the story of) Yūsuf and his brothers, there are signs for those who ask.
12:8

اِذْ قَالُوْا لَیُوْسُفُ وَاَخُوْهُ اَحَبُّ اِلٰۤی اَبِیْنَا مِنَّا وَنَحْنُ عُصْبَةٌ ؕ اِنَّ اَبَانَا لَفِیْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیْنِ

(It happened) when they said, “Yūsuf and his brother are dearer to our father than we are, while we are a whole group. Surely, our father is in clear error.
12:9

قْتُلُوْا یُوْسُفَ اَوِ اطْرَحُوْهُ اَرْضًا یَّخْلُ لَكُمْ وَجْهُ اَبِیْكُمْ وَتَكُوْنُوْا مِنْ بَعْدِهٖ قَوْمًا صٰلِحِیْنَ

Let us kill Yūsuf, or throw him at some place on earth, and thus your father’s full attention will be devoted for you alone, and after doing that, you may become a righteous people.’’
12:10

قَالَ قَآىِٕلٌ مِّنْهُمْ لَا تَقْتُلُوْا یُوْسُفَ وَاَلْقُوْهُ فِیْ غَیٰبَتِ الْجُبِّ یَلْتَقِطْهُ بَعْضُ السَّیَّارَةِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ فٰعِلِیْنَ

One of them said, “Do not kill Yūsuf; rather, cast him into the bottom of a pit, so that some wayfarers may pick him up, if you are going to do something anyway.’’
12:11

قَالُوْا یٰۤاَبَانَا مَا لَكَ لَا تَاْمَنَّا عَلٰی یُوْسُفَ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ لَنٰصِحُوْنَ

They said (to Ya‘qūb), “Our father, why is it that you do not trust us about Yūsuf, while we are his well-wishers indeed.
12:12

اَرْسِلْهُ مَعَنَا غَدًا یَّرْتَعْ وَیَلْعَبْ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ لَحٰفِظُوْنَ

Send him with us tomorrow, that he may eat and play, and of course, we will remain as guards for him.”
12:13

قَالَ اِنِّیْ لَیَحْزُنُنِیْۤ اَنْ تَذْهَبُوْا بِهٖ وَاَخَافُ اَنْ یَّاْكُلَهُ الذِّئْبُ وَاَنْتُمْ عَنْهُ غٰفِلُوْنَ

He said, “It makes me sad that you should take him with you, and I fear that some wolf may eat him up when you are heedless of him.”
12:14

قَالُوْا لَىِٕنْ اَكَلَهُ الذِّئْبُ وَنَحْنُ عُصْبَةٌ اِنَّاۤ اِذًا لَّخٰسِرُوْنَ

They said, “If a wolf eats him up, while we are a whole group, we are then losers indeed.”
12:15

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوْا بِهٖ وَاَجْمَعُوْۤا اَنْ یَّجْعَلُوْهُ فِیْ غَیٰبَتِ الْجُبِّ ۚ وَاَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلَیْهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُمْ بِاَمْرِهِمْ هٰذَا وَهُمْ لَا یَشْعُرُوْنَ

So, when they went away with him and were determined to put him in the bottom of a pit, (they did accordingly). And We revealed to him (Yūsuf), “You will (one day) remind them of this deed of theirs, and they will not recognize (you).”
12:16

وَجَآءُوْۤ اَبَاهُمْ عِشَآءً یَّبْكُوْنَ

And at nightfall, they came to their father weeping.
12:17

قَالُوْا یٰۤاَبَانَاۤ اِنَّا ذَهَبْنَا نَسْتَبِقُ وَتَرَكْنَا یُوْسُفَ عِنْدَ مَتَاعِنَا فَاَكَلَهُ الذِّئْبُ ۚ وَمَاۤ اَنْتَ بِمُؤْمِنٍ لَّنَا وَلَوْ كُنَّا صٰدِقِیْنَ

They said, “Father, we went racing with one another, and left Yūsuf with our belongings, and the wolf ate him up. You will never believe us, howsoever truthful we may be.”
12:18

وَجَآءُوْ عَلٰی قَمِیْصِهٖ بِدَمٍ كَذِبٍ ؕ قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ اَنْفُسُكُمْ اَمْرًا ؕ فَصَبْرٌ جَمِیْلٌ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلٰی مَا تَصِفُوْنَ

And they came with fake blood on his shirt. He said, “Rather, your inner desires have tempted you to do something. So, patience is best. It is Allah whose help is sought against what you describe.’’
12:19

وَجَآءَتْ سَیَّارَةٌ فَاَرْسَلُوْا وَارِدَهُمْ فَاَدْلٰی دَلْوَهٗ ؕ قَالَ یٰبُشْرٰی هٰذَا غُلٰمٌ ؕ وَاَسَرُّوْهُ بِضَاعَةً ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ

And some wayfarers came (near the pit in which Yūsuf was thrown), and sent their water-drawer (to bring water for them). So, he let down his bucket. He said, “What a good news! Here is a boy.” And they kept him hidden as merchandise, while Allah was aware of what they were doing.
12:20

وَشَرَوْهُ بِثَمَنٍ بَخْسٍ دَرَاهِمَ مَعْدُوْدَةٍ ۚ وَكَانُوْا فِیْهِ مِنَ الزَّاهِدِیْنَ

And they sold him for a paltry price, for a few silver-coins, and they had not much interest in him.
12:21

وَقَالَ الَّذِی اشْتَرٰىهُ مِنْ مِّصْرَ لِامْرَاَتِهٖۤ اَكْرِمِیْ مَثْوٰىهُ عَسٰۤی اَنْ یَّنْفَعَنَاۤ اَوْ نَتَّخِذَهٗ وَلَدًا ؕ وَكَذٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِیُوْسُفَ فِی الْاَرْضِ ؗ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهٗ مِنْ تَاْوِیْلِ الْاَحَادِیْثِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ غَالِبٌ عَلٰۤی اَمْرِهٖ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ

And the one who bought him from Egypt said to his wife, “Make his stay graceful. He may be useful for us. Or, we may adopt him as a son.” And thus We established Yūsuf in the land, so that We should teach him the interpretation of events. Allah is powerful in (enforcing) His command, but most of the people do not know.
12:22

وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ اَشُدَّهٗۤ اٰتَیْنٰهُ حُكْمًا وَّعِلْمًا ؕ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِی الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ

And when he reached the prime of his age, We gave him wisdom and knowledge, and this is how We reward those who are good in their deeds.
12:23

وَرَاوَدَتْهُ الَّتِیْ هُوَ فِیْ بَیْتِهَا عَنْ نَّفْسِهٖ وَغَلَّقَتِ الْاَبْوَابَ وَقَالَتْ هَیْتَ لَكَ ؕ قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللّٰهِ اِنَّهٗ رَبِّیْۤ اَحْسَنَ مَثْوَایَ ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَا یُفْلِحُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ

And she, in whose house he was, seduced him towards herself, and bolted the doors, and said, “come on!” He said, “I seek refuge with Allah. Surely, he (your husband) is my master. He has given me a good lodging. Indeed, the wrongdoers do not prosper.”
12:24

وَلَقَدْ هَمَّتْ بِهٖ ۚ وَهَمَّ بِهَا لَوْلَاۤ اَنْ رَّاٰ بُرْهَانَ رَبِّهٖ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ لِنَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ السُّوْٓءَ وَالْفَحْشَآءَ ؕ اِنَّهٗ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُخْلَصِیْنَ

She certainly desired him, and he might have desired her, had he not seen the proof from his Lord. Thus We did, to turn evil and lewdness away from him. Surely, he was one of Our chosen servants.
12:25

وَاسْتَبَقَا الْبَابَ وَقَدَّتْ قَمِیْصَهٗ مِنْ دُبُرٍ وَّاَلْفَیَا سَیِّدَهَا لَدَا الْبَابِ ؕ قَالَتْ مَا جَزَآءُ مَنْ اَرَادَ بِاَهْلِكَ سُوْٓءًا اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یُّسْجَنَ اَوْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ

They raced towards the door, and she ripped his shirt from behind, and they found her master by the door. She said, “What could be the punishment of him who intended evil with your wife, except that he be imprisoned or (given) a painful chastisement?”
12:26

قَالَ هِیَ رَاوَدَتْنِیْ عَنْ نَّفْسِیْ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْ اَهْلِهَا ۚ اِنْ كَانَ قَمِیْصُهٗ قُدَّ مِنْ قُبُلٍ فَصَدَقَتْ وَهُوَ مِنَ الْكٰذِبِیْنَ

He (Yūsuf) said, “It was she who tried to seduce me.” And a witness from her family observed that if his shirt was ripped from the front side, then she is true and he is a liar;
12:27

وَاِنْ كَانَ قَمِیْصُهٗ قُدَّ مِنْ دُبُرٍ فَكَذَبَتْ وَهُوَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ

and if his shirt was ripped from behind, then she is telling a lie and he is truthful.
12:28

فَلَمَّا رَاٰ قَمِیْصَهٗ قُدَّ مِنْ دُبُرٍ قَالَ اِنَّهٗ مِنْ كَیْدِكُنَّ ؕ اِنَّ كَیْدَكُنَّ عَظِیْمٌ

So, when he (her husband) saw his shirt ripped from behind, he said, “This is certainly your trickery, O women. Great is the trickery of you women indeed.
12:29

یُوْسُفُ اَعْرِضْ عَنْ هٰذَا ٚ وَاسْتَغْفِرِیْ لِذَنْۢبِكِ ۖۚ اِنَّكِ كُنْتِ مِنَ الْخٰطِـِٕیْنَ

O Yūsuf, ignore this matter, and you (O woman,) seek forgiveness for your sin, for you were guilty infact.”
12:30

وَقَالَ نِسْوَةٌ فِی الْمَدِیْنَةِ امْرَاَتُ الْعَزِیْزِ تُرَاوِدُ فَتٰىهَا عَنْ نَّفْسِهٖ ۚ قَدْ شَغَفَهَا حُبًّا ؕ اِنَّا لَنَرٰىهَا فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیْنٍ

And women in the city said, “The wife of the minister is seducing her youthful slave. His love has entered the depth of her heart. Surely, we see her in open error.”
12:31

فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ بِمَكْرِهِنَّ اَرْسَلَتْ اِلَیْهِنَّ وَاَعْتَدَتْ لَهُنَّ مُتَّكَاً وَّاٰتَتْ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِّنْهُنَّ سِكِّیْنًا وَّقَالَتِ اخْرُجْ عَلَیْهِنَّ ۚ فَلَمَّا رَاَیْنَهٗۤ اَكْبَرْنَهٗ وَقَطَّعْنَ اَیْدِیَهُنَّ وَقُلْنَ حَاشَ لِلّٰهِ مَا هٰذَا بَشَرًا ؕ اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا مَلَكٌ كَرِیْمٌ

So, when she heard of their taunting comments, she extended an invitation to them and arranged for them a comfortable place (to sit and dine) and gave everyone a knife, and said (to Yūsuf): “come out to them.” So when they saw him, they found him great, and (were so stunned that they) cut their hands and said, “Oh God! He is no human being. He is but a noble angel.”
12:32

قَالَتْ فَذٰلِكُنَّ الَّذِیْ لُمْتُنَّنِیْ فِیْهِ ؕ وَلَقَدْ رَاوَدْتُّهٗ عَنْ نَّفْسِهٖ فَاسْتَعْصَمَ ؕ وَلَىِٕنْ لَّمْ یَفْعَلْ مَاۤ اٰمُرُهٗ لَیُسْجَنَنَّ وَلَیَكُوْنًا مِّنَ الصّٰغِرِیْنَ

She said, “This is the one about whom you reproached me. Yes, I seduced him, but he abstained. And should he not follow my command, he shall be imprisoned and will be disgraced.”
12:33

قَالَ رَبِّ السِّجْنُ اَحَبُّ اِلَیَّ مِمَّا یَدْعُوْنَنِیْۤ اِلَیْهِ ۚ وَاِلَّا تَصْرِفْ عَنِّیْ كَیْدَهُنَّ اَصْبُ اِلَیْهِنَّ وَاَكُنْ مِّنَ الْجٰهِلِیْنَ

He (Yūsuf) said, “My Lord, the prison is dearer to me than what these women invite me to do. If You do not turn their guile away from me, I shall get inclined towards them and shall be among the ignorant.”
12:34

فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهٗ رَبُّهٗ فَصَرَفَ عَنْهُ كَیْدَهُنَّ ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِیْعُ الْعَلِیْمُ

So, his Lord accepted his prayer and turned their guile away from him. Surely, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
12:35

ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ بَعْدِ مَا رَاَوُا الْاٰیٰتِ لَیَسْجُنُنَّهٗ حَتّٰی حِیْنٍ

Later on, even after having seen the clear signs (of his innocence), they deemed it proper to imprison him for some time.
12:36

وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُ السِّجْنَ فَتَیٰنِ ؕ قَالَ اَحَدُهُمَاۤ اِنِّیْۤ اَرٰىنِیْۤ اَعْصِرُ خَمْرًا ۚ وَقَالَ الْاٰخَرُ اِنِّیْۤ اَرٰىنِیْۤ اَحْمِلُ فَوْقَ رَاْسِیْ خُبْزًا تَاْكُلُ الطَّیْرُ مِنْهُ ؕ نَبِّئْنَا بِتَاْوِیْلِهٖ ۚ اِنَّا نَرٰىكَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ

And two men entered the prison with him. One of them said, “I have seen myself (in dream) pressing wine.” And the other said, “I saw myself carrying bread on my head of which the birds were eating. Let us know its interpretation. We see you are a man of good deeds.”
12:37

قَالَ لَا یَاْتِیْكُمَا طَعَامٌ تُرْزَقٰنِهٖۤ اِلَّا نَبَّاْتُكُمَا بِتَاْوِیْلِهٖ قَبْلَ اَنْ یَّاْتِیَكُمَا ؕ ذٰلِكُمَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِیْ رَبِّیْ ؕ اِنِّیْ تَرَكْتُ مِلَّةَ قَوْمٍ لَّا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ

He said, “No food provided for you shall come to you, but I can give you its description before it comes to you. This is the knowledge my Lord has given to me. I have abandoned the way of those who do not believe in Allah, and who are deniers of the Hereafter,
12:38

وَاتَّبَعْتُ مِلَّةَ اٰبَآءِیْۤ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ وَاِسْحٰقَ وَیَعْقُوْبَ ؕ مَا كَانَ لَنَاۤ اَنْ نُّشْرِكَ بِاللّٰهِ مِنْ شَیْءٍ ؕ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْنَا وَعَلَی النَّاسِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَشْكُرُوْنَ

and I have followed the way of my fathers, Ibrāhīm, IsHāq and Ya‘qūb. It is not for us that we associate any partners with Allah. All this is a part of the favor Allah has bestowed upon us and upon the people, but most of the people are not grateful.
12:39

یٰصَاحِبَیِ السِّجْنِ ءَاَرْبَابٌ مُّتَفَرِّقُوْنَ خَیْرٌ اَمِ اللّٰهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ

O my fellow prisoners, are different gods better or Allah, the One, the All-Dominant?
12:40

مَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اَسْمَآءً سَمَّیْتُمُوْهَاۤ اَنْتُمْ وَاٰبَآؤُكُمْ مَّاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ بِهَا مِنْ سُلْطٰنٍ ؕ اِنِ الْحُكْمُ اِلَّا لِلّٰهِ ؕ اَمَرَ اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلَّاۤ اِیَّاهُ ؕ ذٰلِكَ الدِّیْنُ الْقَیِّمُ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ

Whatever you worship, other than Him, are nothing but names you have coined, you and your fathers. Allah has sent down no authority for them. Sovereignty belongs to none but Allah. He has ordained that you shall not worship anyone but Him. This is the only right path. But most of the people do not know.”
12:41

یٰصَاحِبَیِ السِّجْنِ اَمَّاۤ اَحَدُكُمَا فَیَسْقِیْ رَبَّهٗ خَمْرًا ۚ وَاَمَّا الْاٰخَرُ فَیُصْلَبُ فَتَاْكُلُ الطَّیْرُ مِنْ رَّاْسِهٖ ؕ قُضِیَ الْاَمْرُ الَّذِیْ فِیْهِ تَسْتَفْتِیٰنِ

“O my fellow prisoners, one of you will serve wine to his master, while the other will be crucified and birds will eat from his head. Destined is the matter you are asking about.”
12:42

وَقَالَ لِلَّذِیْ ظَنَّ اَنَّهٗ نَاجٍ مِّنْهُمَا اذْكُرْنِیْ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ؗ فَاَنْسٰىهُ الشَّیْطٰنُ ذِكْرَ رَبِّهٖ فَلَبِثَ فِی السِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِیْنَ

And he (Yūsuf) said to the one whom he believed likely to be released out of the two, “Tell your master about me.” Then, the Satan made him forget to tell his master. So, he (Yūsuf) remained in prison for a few years.
12:43

وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ اِنِّیْۤ اَرٰی سَبْعَ بَقَرٰتٍ سِمَانٍ یَّاْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَّسَبْعَ سُنْۢبُلٰتٍ خُضْرٍ وَّاُخَرَ یٰبِسٰتٍ ؕ یٰۤاَیُّهَا الْمَلَاُ اَفْتُوْنِیْ فِیْ رُءْیَایَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ لِلرُّءْیَا تَعْبُرُوْنَ

And (one day) the king said (to his courtiers), “I have seen (in a dream) seven fat cows being eaten by seven lean ones, and seven ears of grain which are green and (seven) others which are dry. O people, tell me about my dream, if you can interpret dreams.”
12:44

قَالُوْۤا اَضْغَاثُ اَحْلَامٍ ۚ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَاْوِیْلِ الْاَحْلَامِ بِعٰلِمِیْنَ

They said, “(It seems to be) a mishmash of dreams, and we do not know the interpretation of dreams.”
12:45

وَقَالَ الَّذِیْ نَجَا مِنْهُمَا وَادَّكَرَ بَعْدَ اُمَّةٍ اَنَا اُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِتَاْوِیْلِهٖ فَاَرْسِلُوْنِ

And said the one who was released (from the prison) out of the two, and recalled (Yūsuf) after a long time, “I shall tell you its interpretation. Just send me (to Yūsuf).”
12:46

یُوْسُفُ اَیُّهَا الصِّدِّیْقُ اَفْتِنَا فِیْ سَبْعِ بَقَرٰتٍ سِمَانٍ یَّاْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَّسَبْعِ سُنْۢبُلٰتٍ خُضْرٍ وَّاُخَرَ یٰبِسٰتٍ ۙ لَّعَلِّیْۤ اَرْجِعُ اِلَی النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَعْلَمُوْنَ

(Thus he came to the prison and said to Yūsuf “Yūsuf, O the truthful one, tell us about seven fat cows eaten by seven lean ones, and seven ears of grain which are green and (seven) others which are dry, so that I may go back to the people and they may know (the interpretation of the dream.)”
12:47

قَالَ تَزْرَعُوْنَ سَبْعَ سِنِیْنَ دَاَبًا ۚ فَمَا حَصَدْتُّمْ فَذَرُوْهُ فِیْ سُنْۢبُلِهٖۤ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا مِّمَّا تَاْكُلُوْنَ

He said, “You will grow crops for seven years consecutively. So, what you have harvested, leave it in its ear, except a little which you eat.
12:48

ثُمَّ یَاْتِیْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ سَبْعٌ شِدَادٌ یَّاْكُلْنَ مَا قَدَّمْتُمْ لَهُنَّ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا مِّمَّا تُحْصِنُوْنَ

Then seven hard years shall come after that, which shall eat up what you have stored for them, except a little which you preserve (to sow).
12:49

ثُمَّ یَاْتِیْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ عَامٌ فِیْهِ یُغَاثُ النَّاسُ وَفِیْهِ یَعْصِرُوْنَ

Then there shall come after that a year in which people will have rains and in which they will extract juices.”
12:50

وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ ائْتُوْنِیْ بِهٖ ۚ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُ الرَّسُوْلُ قَالَ ارْجِعْ اِلٰی رَبِّكَ فَسْـَٔلْهُ مَا بَالُ النِّسْوَةِ الّٰتِیْ قَطَّعْنَ اَیْدِیَهُنَّ ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّیْ بِكَیْدِهِنَّ عَلِیْمٌ

And (when this person went back and told the king about the interpretation of the dream), the king said, “Bring him to me.” So, when the messenger came to Yūsuf, he said, “Go back to your lord and ask him, ‘What is the case of the women who cut their hands?’ Surely, my Lord knows well their guile.”
12:51

قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُنَّ اِذْ رَاوَدْتُّنَّ یُوْسُفَ عَنْ نَّفْسِهٖ ؕ قُلْنَ حَاشَ لِلّٰهِ مَا عَلِمْنَا عَلَیْهِ مِنْ سُوْٓءٍ ؕ قَالَتِ امْرَاَتُ الْعَزِیْزِ الْـٰٔنَ حَصْحَصَ الْحَقُّ ؗ اَنَا رَاوَدْتُّهٗ عَنْ نَّفْسِهٖ وَاِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ

He (the king) said, “What was your case, O women, when you seduced Yūsuf?” They said, “God forbid, we know of no evil in him.” The governor’s wife said, “Now the truth has come to light. I did seduce him, and he is surely truthful.”
12:52

ذٰلِكَ لِیَعْلَمَ اَنِّیْ لَمْ اَخُنْهُ بِالْغَیْبِ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یَهْدِیْ كَیْدَ الْخَآىِٕنِیْنَ

(Then Yūsuf said), “That was because he (the governor) may know that I did not betray him in his absence, and that Allah does not lead the guile of betrayers to success.
