Qāla Fa-mā Khaṭbukum · قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ

[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"Saheeh International

They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminalsSaheeh International

To send down upon them stones of clay,Saheeh International

Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."Saheeh International

So We brought out whoever was in them [i.e., the cities] of the believers.Saheeh International

And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.Saheeh International

And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.Saheeh International

And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.Saheeh International

But he turned away with his supporters and said, "A magician or a madman."Saheeh International

So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.Saheeh International

And in ʿAad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren wind.Saheeh International

It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruins.Saheeh International

And in Thamūd, when it was said to them, "Enjoy yourselves for a time."Saheeh International

But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.Saheeh International

And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves.Saheeh International

And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient.Saheeh International

And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.Saheeh International

And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer.Saheeh International

And of all things We created two mates [i.e., counterparts]; perhaps you will remember.Saheeh International

So flee to Allāh. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.Saheeh International

And do not make [as equal] with Allāh another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.Saheeh International

Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman."Saheeh International

Did they suggest it to them? Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.Saheeh International

So leave them, [O Muḥammad], for you are not to be blamed.Saheeh International

And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.Saheeh International

And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.Saheeh International

I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.Saheeh International

Indeed, it is Allāh who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength.Saheeh International

And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their companions [i.e., predecessors], so let them not impatiently urge Me.Saheeh International

And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.Saheeh International

By the mountSaheeh International

And [by] a Book inscribedSaheeh International

In parchment spread openSaheeh International

And [by] the frequented HouseSaheeh International

And [by] the ceiling [i.e., heaven] raised highSaheeh International

And [by] the sea set on fire,Saheeh International

Indeed, the punishment of your Lord will occur.Saheeh International

Of it there is no preventer.Saheeh International

On the Day the heaven will sway with circular motionSaheeh International

And the mountains will pass on, departing -Saheeh International

Then woe, that Day, to the deniers,Saheeh International

Who are in [empty] discourse amusing themselves.Saheeh International

The Day they are thrust toward the fire of Hell with a [violent] thrust, [its angels will say],Saheeh International

"This is the Fire which you used to deny.Saheeh International

Then is this magic, or do you not see?Saheeh International

[Enter to] burn therein; then be patient or impatient - it is all the same for you. You are only being recompensed [for] what you used to do."Saheeh International

Indeed, the righteous will be in gardens and pleasure,Saheeh International

Enjoying what their Lord has given them, and their Lord protected them from the punishment of Hellfire.Saheeh International

[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you used to do."Saheeh International

They will be reclining on thrones lined up, and We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes.Saheeh International

And those who believed and whose descendants followed them in faith - We will join with them their descendants, and We will not deprive them of anything of their deeds. Every person, for what he earned, is retained.Saheeh International

And We will provide them with fruit and meat from whatever they desire.Saheeh International

They will exchange with one another a cup [of wine] wherein [results] no ill speech or commission of sin.Saheeh International

There will circulate among them [servant] boys [especially] for them, as if they were pearls well-protected.Saheeh International

And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.Saheeh International

They will say, "Indeed, we were previously among our people fearful [of displeasing Allāh].Saheeh International

So Allāh conferred favor upon us and protected us from the punishment of the Scorching Fire.Saheeh International

Indeed, we used to supplicate Him before. Indeed, it is He who is the Beneficent, the Merciful."Saheeh International

So remind, [O Muḥammad], for you are not, by the favor of your Lord, a soothsayer or a madman.Saheeh International

Or do they say [of you], "A poet for whom we await a misfortune of time"?Saheeh International

Say, "Wait, for indeed I am, with you, among the waiters."Saheeh International

Or do their minds command them to [say] this, or are they a transgressing people?Saheeh International

Or do they say, "He has made it up"? Rather, they do not believe.Saheeh International

Then let them produce a statement like it, if they should be truthful.Saheeh International

Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]?Saheeh International

Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Rather, they are not certain.Saheeh International

Or have they the depositories [containing the provision] of your Lord? Or are they the controllers [of them]?Saheeh International

Or have they a stairway [into the heaven] upon which they listen? Then let their listener produce a clear authority [i.e., proof].Saheeh International

Or has He daughters while you have sons?Saheeh International

Or do you, [O Muḥammad], ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?Saheeh International

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?Saheeh International

Or do they intend a plan? But those who disbelieve - they are the object of a plan.Saheeh International

Or have they a deity other than Allāh? Exalted is Allāh above whatever they associate with Him.Saheeh International

And if they were to see a fragment from the sky falling, they would say, "[It is merely] clouds heaped up."Saheeh International

So leave them until they meet their Day in which they will be struck insensible -Saheeh International

The Day their plan will not avail them at all, nor will they be helped.Saheeh International

And indeed, for those who have wronged is a punishment before that, but most of them do not know.Saheeh International

And be patient, [O Muḥammad], for the decision of your Lord, for indeed, you are in Our eyes [i.e., sight]. And exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord when you ariseSaheeh International

And in a part of the night exalt Him and after [the setting of] the stars.Saheeh International

By the star when it descends,Saheeh International

Your companion [i.e., Muḥammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred,Saheeh International

Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.Saheeh International

It is not but a revelation revealed,Saheeh International

Taught to him by one intense in strength [i.e., Gabriel] -Saheeh International

One of soundness. And he rose to [his] true formSaheeh International

While he was in the higher [part of the] horizon.Saheeh International

Then he approached and descendedSaheeh International

And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer.Saheeh International

And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed [i.e., conveyed].Saheeh International

The heart did not lie [about] what it saw.Saheeh International

So will you dispute with him over what he saw?Saheeh International

And he certainly saw him in another descentSaheeh International

At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary -Saheeh International

Near it is the Garden of Refuge [i.e., Paradise] -Saheeh International

When there covered the Lote Tree that which covered [it].Saheeh International

The sight [of the Prophet (ﷺ)] did not swerve, nor did it transgress [its limit].Saheeh International

He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.Saheeh International

So have you considered al-Lāt and al-ʿUzzā?Saheeh International

And Manāt, the third - the other one?Saheeh International

Is the male for you and for Him the female?Saheeh International

That, then, is an unjust division.Saheeh International

They are not but [mere] names you have named them - you and your forefathers - for which Allāh has sent down no authority. They follow not except assumption and what [their] souls desire, and there has already come to them from their Lord guidance.Saheeh International

Or is there for man whatever he wishes?Saheeh International

Rather, to Allāh belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].Saheeh International

And how many angels there are in the heavens whose intercession will not avail at all except [only] after Allāh has permitted [it] to whom He wills and approves.Saheeh International

Indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter name the angels female names,Saheeh International

And they have thereof no knowledge. They follow not except assumption, and indeed, assumption avails not against the truth at all.Saheeh International

So turn away from whoever turns his back on Our message and desires not except the worldly life.Saheeh International

That is their sum of knowledge. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who strays from His way, and He is most knowing of who is guided.Saheeh International

And to Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth - that He may recompense those who do evil with [the penalty of] what they have done and recompense those who do good with the best [reward] -Saheeh International

Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, only [committing] slight ones. Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness. He was most knowing of you when He produced you from the earth and when you were fetuses in the wombs of your mothers. So do not claim yourselves to be pure; He is most knowing of who fears Him.Saheeh International

Have you seen the one who turned awaySaheeh International

And gave a little and [then] refrained?Saheeh International

Does he have knowledge of the unseen, so he sees?Saheeh International

Or has he not been informed of what was in the scriptures of MosesSaheeh International

And [of] Abraham, who fulfilled [his obligations] -Saheeh International

That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of anotherSaheeh International

And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strivesSaheeh International

And that his effort is going to be seen -Saheeh International

Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense -Saheeh International

And that to your Lord is the finalitySaheeh International

And that it is He who makes [one] laugh and weepSaheeh International

And that it is He who causes death and gives lifeSaheeh International

And that He creates the two mates - the male and female -Saheeh International

From a sperm-drop when it is emittedSaheeh International

And that [incumbent] upon Him is the other [i.e., next] creation.Saheeh International

And that it is He who enriches and sufficesSaheeh International

And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius.Saheeh International

And that He destroyed the first [people of] ʿAad.Saheeh International

And Thamūd - and He did not spare [them] -Saheeh International

And the people of Noah before. Indeed, it was they who were [even] more unjust and oppressing.Saheeh International

And the overturned towns He hurled down.Saheeh International

And covered them by that which He covered.Saheeh International

Then which of the favors of your Lord do you doubt?Saheeh International

This [Prophet (ﷺ)] is a warner from [i.e., like] the former warners.Saheeh International

The Approaching Day has approached.Saheeh International

Of it, [from those] besides Allāh, there is no remover.Saheeh International

Then at this statement do you wonder?Saheeh International

And you laugh and do not weepSaheeh International

While you are proudly sporting?Saheeh International

So prostrate to Allāh and worship [Him].Saheeh International

The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].Saheeh International

And if they see a sign [i.e., miracle], they turn away and say, "Passing magic."Saheeh International

And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a [time of] settlement.Saheeh International

And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence.Saheeh International

Extensive wisdom - but warning does not avail [them].Saheeh International

So leave them, [O Muḥammad]. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding,Saheeh International

Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading,Saheeh International

Racing ahead toward the Caller. The disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult Day."Saheeh International

The people of Noah denied before them, and they denied Our servant and said, "A madman," and he was repelled.Saheeh International

So he invoked his Lord, "Indeed, I am overpowered, so help."Saheeh International

Then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring downSaheeh International

And caused the earth to burst with springs, and the waters met for a matter already predestined.Saheeh International

And We carried him on a [construction of] planks and nails,Saheeh International

Sailing under Our observation as reward for he who had been denied.Saheeh International

And We left it as a sign, so is there any who will remember?Saheeh International

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.Saheeh International

And We have certainly made the Qur’ān easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?Saheeh International

ʿAad denied; and how [severe] were My punishment and warning.Saheeh International

Indeed, We sent upon them a screaming wind on a day of continuous misfortune,Saheeh International

Extracting the people as if they were trunks of palm trees uprooted.Saheeh International

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.Saheeh International

And We have certainly made the Qur’ān easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?Saheeh International

Thamūd denied the warning.Saheeh International

And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness.Saheeh International

Has the message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, he is an insolent liar."Saheeh International

They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar.Saheeh International

Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient.Saheeh International

And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn].Saheeh International

But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her].Saheeh International

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.Saheeh International

Indeed, We sent upon them one shriek [i.e., blast from the sky], and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen.Saheeh International

And We have certainly made the Qur’ān easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?Saheeh International

The people of Lot denied the warning.Saheeh International

Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn.Saheeh International

As favor from Us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful.Saheeh International

And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning.Saheeh International

And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning."Saheeh International

And there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment.Saheeh International

So taste My punishment and warning.Saheeh International

And We have certainly made the Qur’ān easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?Saheeh International

And there certainly came to the people of Pharaoh warning.Saheeh International

They denied Our signs, all of them, so We seized them with a seizure of one Exalted in Might and Perfect in Ability.Saheeh International

Are your disbelievers better than those [former ones], or have you immunity in the scriptures?Saheeh International

Or do they say, "We are an assembly supporting [each other]"?Saheeh International

[Their] assembly will be defeated, and they will turn their backs [in retreat].Saheeh International

But the Hour is their appointment [for due punishment], and the Hour is more disastrous and more bitter.Saheeh International

Indeed, the criminals are in error and madness..Saheeh International

The Day they are dragged into the Fire on their faces [it will be said], "Taste the touch of Saqar."Saheeh International

Indeed, all things We created with predestination.Saheeh International

And Our command is but one, like a glance of the eye.Saheeh International

And We have already destroyed your kinds, so is there any who will remember?Saheeh International

And everything they did is in written records.Saheeh International

And every small and great [thing] is inscribed.Saheeh International

Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and rivers,Saheeh International

In a seat of honor near a Sovereign, Perfect in Ability.Saheeh International

The Most MercifulSaheeh International

Taught the Qur’ān,Saheeh International

Created man,Saheeh International

[And] taught him eloquence.Saheeh International

The sun and the moon [move] by precise calculation,Saheeh International

And the stars and trees prostrate.Saheeh International

And the heaven He raised and imposed the balanceSaheeh International

That you not transgress within the balance.Saheeh International

And establish weight in justice and do not make deficient the balance.Saheeh International

And the earth He laid [out] for the creatures.Saheeh International

Therein is fruit and palm trees having sheaths [of dates]Saheeh International

And grain having husks and scented plants.Saheeh International

So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?Saheeh International

He created man from clay like [that of] pottery.Saheeh International

And He created the jinn from a smokeless flame of fire.Saheeh International

So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?Saheeh International

[He is] Lord of the two sunrises and Lord of the two sunsets.Saheeh International

So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?Saheeh International

He released the two seas, meeting [one another];Saheeh International

Between them is a barrier so neither of them transgresses.Saheeh International

So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?Saheeh International

From both of them emerge pearl and coral.Saheeh International

So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?Saheeh International
