Surely your God is One!

Verse 5

They cannot listen to the highest assembly ˹of angels˺ for they are pelted from every side,

Verse 9

˹fiercely˺ driven away. And they will suffer an everlasting torment.

Verse 12

ﮙﮚﮛ ﮜ ​

In fact, you are astonished ˹by their denial˺, while they ridicule ˹you˺.

Verse 13

ﮝﮞﮟﮠ ﮡ ​

When they are reminded, they are never mindful.

Verse 14

ﮢﮣﮤﮥ ﮦ ​

saying, “This is nothing but pure magic.

Verse 16

ﮮﮯﮰﮱﯓﯔﯕ ﯖ ​

When we are dead and reduced to dust and bones, will we really be resurrected?

Verse 17

ﯗﯘ ﯙ ​

And our forefathers as well?”

Verse 18

ﯚﯛﯜﯝ ﯞ ​

Say, “Yes! And you will be fully humbled.”

Verse 19

ﯟﯠﯡﯢﯣﯤﯥ ﯦ ​

It will only take one Blast, then at once they will see ˹it all˺.

Verse 20

ﯧﯨﯩﯪﯫ ﯬ ​

They will cry, “Oh, woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!”

Verse 21

ﯭﯮﯯﯰﯱﯲﯳ ﯴ ​

˹They will be told,˺ “This is the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision which you used to deny.”

Verse 22

ﯵﯶﯷﯸﯹﯺﯻﯼ ﯽ ​

˹Allah will say to the angels,˺ “Gather ˹all˺ the wrongdoers along with their peers, and whatever they used to worship

instead of Allah, then lead them ˹all˺ to the path of Hell.

Verse 24

ﰆﰇﰈﰉ ﰊ ​

And detain them, for they must be questioned.”

Verse 25

ﭑﭒﭓﭔ ﭕ ​

˹Then they will be asked,˺ “What is the matter with you that you can no longer help each other?”

Verse 26

ﭖﭗﭘﭙ ﭚ ​

In fact, on that Day they will be ˹fully˺ submissive.

Verse 27

They will turn on each other, throwing blame.

Verse 28

ﭡﭢﭣﭤﭥﭦ ﭧ ​

Verse 30

ﭮﭯﭰﭱﭲﭳﭴﭵﭶﭷﭸ ﭹ ​

We had no authority over you. In fact, you yourselves were a transgressing people.

Verse 31

ﭺﭻﭼﭽﭾﭿﮀ ﮁ ​

The decree of our Lord has come to pass against us ˹all˺: we will certainly taste ˹the punishment˺.

Verse 32

We caused you to deviate, for we ourselves were deviant.”

Verse 33

Verse 34

That is certainly how We deal with the wicked.

Verse 35

ﮒﮓﮔﮕﮖﮗﮘﮙﮚﮛ ﮜ ​

For whenever it was said to them ˹in the world˺, “There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Allah,” they acted arrogantly

Verse 36

ﮝﮞﮟﮠﮡﮢ ﮣ ​

and argued, “Should we really abandon our gods for a mad poet?”

Verse 37

ﮤﮥﮦﮧﮨ ﮩ ​

In fact, he came with the truth, confirming ˹earlier˺ messengers.

Verse 38

ﮪﮫﮬﮭ ﮮ ​

You will certainly taste the painful torment,

Verse 39

ﮯﮰﮱﯓﯔﯕ ﯖ ​

and will only be rewarded for what you used to do.

Verse 40

ﯗﯘﯙﯚ ﯛ ​

But not the chosen servants of Allah.

Verse 41

ﯜﯝﯞﯟ ﯠ ​

They will have a known provision:

Verse 42

ﯡﯢﯣ ﯤ ​

fruits ˹of every type˺. And they will be honoured

Verse 43

ﯥﯦﯧ ﯨ ​

in the Gardens of Bliss,

Verse 44

ﯩﯪﯫ ﯬ ​

facing each other on thrones.

Verse 45

ﯭﯮﯯﯰﯱ ﯲ ​

A drink ˹of pure wine˺ will be passed around to them from a flowing stream:

Verse 46

ﯳﯴﯵ ﯶ ​

crystal-white, delicious to drink.

Verse 47

ﯷﯸﯹﯺﯻﯼﯽ ﯾ ​

It will neither harm ˹them˺, nor will they be intoxicated by it.

Verse 48

ﯿﰀﰁﰂ ﰃ ​

And with them will be maidens of modest gaze and gorgeous eyes,

Verse 49

ﰄﰅﰆ ﰇ ​

as if they were pristine pearls.

Verse 50

ﰈﰉﰊﰋﰌ ﰍ ​

Then they will turn to one another inquisitively.

Verse 51

ﰎﰏﰐﰑﰒﰓﰔ ﰕ ​

One of them will say, “I once had a companion ˹in the world˺

Verse 52

ﭑﭒﭓﭔ ﭕ ​

who used to ask ˹me˺, ‘Do you actually believe ˹in resurrection˺?

Verse 53

ﭖﭗﭘﭙﭚﭛﭜ ﭝ ​

When we are dead and reduced to dust and bones, will we really be brought to judgment?’”

Verse 54

ﭞﭟﭠﭡ ﭢ ​

He will ˹then˺ ask, “Would you care to see ˹his fate˺?”

Verse 55

ﭣﭤﭥﭦﭧ ﭨ ​

Then he ˹and the others˺ will look and spot him in the midst of the Hellfire.

Verse 56

ﭩﭪﭫﭬﭭ ﭮ ​

He will ˹then˺ say, “By Allah! You nearly ruined me.

Verse 57

ﭯﭰﭱﭲﭳﭴ ﭵ ​

Had it not been for the grace of my Lord, I ˹too˺ would have certainly been among those brought ˹to Hell˺.”

Verse 58

ﭶﭷﭸ ﭹ ​

˹Then he will ask his fellow believers,˺ “Can you imagine that we will never die,

Verse 59

ﭺﭻﭼﭽﭾﭿ ﮀ ​

except our first death, nor be punished ˹like the others˺?”

Verse 60

ﮁﮂﮃﮄﮅ ﮆ ​

This is truly the ultimate triumph.

Verse 61

ﮇﮈﮉﮊ ﮋ ​

For such ˹honour˺ all should strive.

Verse 62

ﮌﮍﮎﮏﮐﮑ ﮒ ​

Is this ˹bliss˺ a better accommodation or the tree of Zaqqûm?

Verse 63

ﮓﮔﮕﮖ ﮗ ​

We have surely made it a test for the wrongdoers.

Verse 64

ﮘﮙﮚﮛﮜﮝ ﮞ ​

Indeed, it is a tree that grows in the depths of Hell,

Verse 65

ﮟﮠﮡﮢ ﮣ ​

bearing fruit like devils’ heads.

Verse 66

ﮤﮥﮦﮧﮨﮩ ﮪ ​

The evildoers will certainly ˹be left to˺ eat from it, filling up their bellies with it.

Verse 67

ﮫﮬﮭﮮﮯﮰﮱ ﯓ ​

Then on top of that they will be given a blend of boiling drink.

Verse 68

ﯔﯕﯖﯗﯘ ﯙ ​

Then they will ultimately return to ˹their place in˺ Hell.

Verse 69

ﯚﯛﯜﯝ ﯞ ​

Indeed, they found their forefathers astray,

Verse 70

ﯟﯠﯡﯢ ﯣ ​

so they rushed in their footsteps!

Verse 71

ﯤﯥﯦﯧﯨ ﯩ ​

And surely most of the earlier generations had strayed before them,

Verse 72

ﯪﯫﯬﯭ ﯮ ​

although We had certainly sent warners among them.

Verse 73

ﯯﯰﯱﯲﯳ ﯴ ​

See then what was the end of those who had been warned.

Verse 74

ﯵﯶﯷﯸ ﯹ ​

But not the chosen servants of Allah.

Verse 75

ﯺﯻﯼﯽﯾ ﯿ ​

Indeed, Noah cried out to Us, and how excellent are We in responding!

Verse 76

ﰀﰁﰂﰃﰄ ﰅ ​

We delivered him and his family from the great distress,

Verse 77

ﭑﭒﭓﭔ ﭕ ​

and made his descendants the sole survivors.

Verse 78

ﭖﭗﭘﭙ ﭚ ​

And We blessed him ˹with honourable mention˺ among later generations:

Verse 79

ﭛﭜﭝﭞﭟ ﭠ ​

“Peace be upon Noah among all peoples.”

Verse 80

ﭡﭢﭣﭤ ﭥ ​

Indeed, this is how We reward the good-doers.

Verse 81

ﭦﭧﭨﭩ ﭪ ​

˹For˺ he was truly one of Our faithful servants.

Verse 82

ﭫﭬﭭ ﭮ ​

Then We drowned the others.

Verse 83

ﭯﭰﭱﭲﭳ ﭴ ​

And indeed, one of those who followed his way was Abraham.

Verse 84

ﭵﭶﭷﭸﭹ ﭺ ​

˹Remember˺ when he came to his Lord with a pure heart,

Verse 85

ﭻﭼﭽﭾﭿﮀ ﮁ ​

and said to his father and his people, “What are you worshipping?

Verse 86

ﮂﮃﮄﮅﮆ ﮇ ​

Is it false gods that you desire instead of Allah?

Verse 87

ﮈﮉﮊﮋ ﮌ ​

What then do you expect from the Lord of all worlds?”

Verse 88

ﮍﮎﮏﮐ ﮑ ​

He later looked up to the stars ˹in contemplation˺,

Verse 89

ﮒﮓﮔ ﮕ ​

then said, “I am really sick.”

Verse 90

ﮖﮗﮘ ﮙ ​

So they turned their backs on him and went away.

Verse 91

ﮚﮛﮜﮝﮞﮟ ﮠ ​

Then he ˹stealthily˺ advanced towards their gods, and said ˹mockingly˺, “Will you not eat ˹your offerings˺?

Verse 92

ﮡﮢﮣﮤ ﮥ ​

What is wrong with you that you cannot speak?”

Verse 93

ﮦﮧﮨﮩ ﮪ ​

Then he swiftly turned on them, striking ˹them˺ with his right hand.

Verse 94

ﮫﮬﮭ ﮮ ​

Later, his people came rushing towards him ˹furiously˺.

Verse 95

ﮯﮰﮱﯓ ﯔ ​

He argued, “How can you worship what you carve ˹with your own hands˺,

Verse 96

ﯕﯖﯗﯘ ﯙ ​

when it is Allah Who created you and whatever you do?”

Verse 97

ﯚﯛﯜﯝﯞﯟﯠ ﯡ ​

They said ˹to one another˺, “Build him a furnace and cast him into the blazing fire.”

Verse 98

ﯢﯣﯤﯥﯦ ﯧ ​

And so they sought to harm him, but We made them inferior.

Verse 99

ﯨﯩﯪﯫﯬﯭ ﯮ ​

He later said, “I am leaving ˹in obedience˺ to my Lord. He will guide me.

Verse 100

ﯯﯰﯱﯲﯳ ﯴ ​

My Lord! Bless me with righteous offspring.”

Verse 101

ﯵﯶﯷ ﯸ ​

So We gave him good news of a forbearing son.

Verse 102

ﯹﯺﯻﯼﯽﯾﯿﰀﰁﰂﰃﰄﰅﰆﰇﰈﰉﰊﰋﰌﰍﰎﰏﰐﰑﰒﰓﰔ ﰕ ​

Then when the boy reached the age to work with him, Abraham said, “O my dear son! I have seen in a dream that I ˹must˺ sacrifice you. So tell me what you think.” He replied, “O my dear father! Do as you are commanded. Allah willing, you will find me steadfast.”

Verse 103

ﭑﭒﭓﭔ ﭕ ​

Then when they submitted ˹to Allah’s Will˺, and Abraham laid him on his forehead ˹for sacrifice˺,

Verse 104

ﭖﭗﭘ ﭙ ​

We called out to him, “O Abraham!

Verse 105

ﭚﭛﭜﭝﭞﭟﭠﭡ ﭢ ​

You have already fulfilled the vision.” Indeed, this is how We reward the good-doers.

Verse 106

ﭣﭤﭥﭦﭧ ﭨ ​

That was truly a revealing test.

Verse 107

ﭩﭪﭫ ﭬ ​

And We ransomed his son with a great sacrifice,

Verse 108

ﭭﭮﭯﭰ ﭱ ​

Verse 109

ﭲﭳﭴ ﭵ ​

“Peace be upon Abraham.”

Verse 110

He was truly one of Our faithful servants.

Verse 112

ﭿﮀﮁﮂﮃ ﮄ ​

We ˹later˺ gave him good news of Isaac—a prophet, and one of the righteous.

Verse 113

ﮅﮆﮇﮈﮉﮊﮋﮌﮍﮎﮏ ﮐ ​

We blessed him and Isaac as well. Some of their descendants did good, while others clearly wronged themselves.

Verse 114

ﮑﮒﮓﮔﮕ ﮖ ​

And We certainly showed favour to Moses and Aaron,

Verse 115

ﮗﮘﮙﮚﮛ ﮜ ​

and delivered them and their people from the great distress.

Verse 116

ﮝﮞﮟﮠ ﮡ ​

We helped them so it was they who prevailed.

Verse 117

ﮢﮣﮤ ﮥ ​

We gave them the clear Scripture,

Verse 118

ﮦﮧﮨ ﮩ ​

and guided them to the Straight Path.

Verse 119

And We blessed them ˹with honourable mention˺ among later generations:

They were truly ˹two˺ of Our faithful servants.

Verse 123

ﯟﯠﯡﯢ ﯣ ​

And Elias was indeed one of the messengers.

Verse 124

ﯤﯥﯦﯧﯨ ﯩ ​

˹Remember˺ when he said to his people, “Will you not fear ˹Allah˺?

Verse 125

ﯪﯫﯬﯭﯮ ﯯ ​

Do you call upon ˹the idol of˺ Ba’l and abandon the Best of Creators—

Verse 126

ﯰﯱﯲﯳﯴ ﯵ ​

Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?”

Verse 127

ﭑﭒﭓ ﭔ ​

But they rejected him, so they will certainly be brought ˹for punishment˺.

Verse 128

ﭕﭖﭗﭘ ﭙ ​

But not the chosen servants of Allah.

Verse 129

ﭚﭛﭜﭝ ﭞ ​

We blessed him ˹with honourable mention˺ among later generations:

Verse 130

ﭟﭠﭡﭢ ﭣ ​

“Peace be upon Elias.”

Verse 131

ﭤﭥﭦﭧ ﭨ ​

Indeed, this is how We reward the good-doers.

ﭩﭪﭫﭬ ﭭ ​

He was truly one of Our faithful servants.

Verse 133

ﭮﭯﭰﭱ ﭲ ​

And Lot was indeed one of the messengers.

Verse 134

ﭳﭴﭵﭶ ﭷ ​

˹Remember˺ when We delivered him and all of his family,

Verse 135

ﭸﭹﭺﭻ ﭼ ​

except an old woman, who was one of the doomed.

Verse 136

ﭽﭾﭿ ﮀ ​

Then We ˹utterly˺ destroyed the rest.

Verse 137

ﮁﮂﮃﮄ ﮅ ​

You ˹Meccans˺ certainly pass by their ruins day

Verse 138

ﮆﮇﮈﮉ ﮊ ​

and night. Will you not then understand?

Verse 139

ﮋﮌﮍﮎ ﮏ ​

And Jonah was indeed one of the messengers.

Verse 140

ﮐﮑﮒﮓﮔ ﮕ ​

˹Remember˺ when he fled to the overloaded ship.

Verse 141

ﮖﮗﮘﮙ ﮚ ​

Then ˹to save it from sinking,˺ he drew straws ˹with other passengers˺. He lost ˹and was thrown overboard˺.

Verse 142

ﮛﮜﮝﮞ ﮟ ​

Then the whale swallowed him up while he was blameworthy.

Verse 143

ﮠﮡﮢﮣﮤ ﮥ ​

Had he not ˹constantly˺ glorified ˹Allah˺,

Verse 144

ﮦﮧﮨﮩﮪﮫ ﮬ ​

he would have certainly remained in its belly until the Day of Resurrection.

Verse 145

ﮭﮮﮯﮰﮱ ﯓ ​

But We cast him onto the open ˹shore˺, ˹totally˺ worn out,

Verse 146

ﯔﯕﯖﯗﯘ ﯙ ​

and caused a squash plant to grow over him.

Verse 147

ﯚﯛﯜﯝﯞﯟ ﯠ ​

We ˹later˺ sent him ˹back˺ to ˹his city of˺ one hundred thousand people or more,

Verse 148

ﯡﯢﯣﯤ ﯥ ​

who then believed ˹in him˺, so We allowed them enjoyment for a while.

Verse 149

ﯦﯧﯨﯩﯪ ﯫ ​

Ask them ˹O Prophet˺ if your Lord has daughters, while the pagans ˹prefer to˺ have sons.

Verse 150

ﯬﯭﯮﯯﯰﯱ ﯲ ​

Or ˹ask them˺ if We created the angels as females right before their eyes.

Verse 151

ﯳﯴﯵﯶﯷ ﯸ ​

Indeed, it is one of their ˹outrageous˺ fabrications to say,

Verse 152

ﯹﯺﯻﯼ ﯽ ​

“Allah has children.” They are simply liars.

Verse 153

ﯾﯿﰀﰁ ﰂ ​

Has He chosen daughters over sons?

Verse 154

ﭑﭒﭓﭔ ﭕ ​

What is the matter with you? How do you judge?

Verse 155

ﭖﭗ ﭘ ​

Will you not then be mindful?

Verse 156

ﭙﭚﭛﭜ ﭝ ​

Or do you have ˹any˺ compelling proof?

Verse 157

Then bring ˹us˺ your scripture, if what you say is true!

Verse 158

ﭤﭥﭦﭧﭨﭩﭪﭫﭬﭭﭮ ﭯ ​

They have also established a ˹marital˺ relationship between Him and the jinn. Yet the jinn ˹themselves˺ know well that such people will certainly be brought ˹for punishment˺.

Verse 159

ﭰﭱﭲﭳ ﭴ ​

Glorified is Allah far above what they claim!

Verse 160

ﭵﭶﭷﭸ ﭹ ​

But not the chosen servants of Allah.

Verse 161

ﭺﭻﭼ ﭽ ​

Surely you ˹pagans˺ and whatever ˹idols˺ you worship

Verse 162

ﭾﭿﮀﮁ ﮂ ​

can never lure ˹anyone˺ away from Him

Verse 163

ﮃﮄﮅﮆﮇ ﮈ ​

except those ˹destined˺ to burn in Hell.

Verse 164

ﮉﮊﮋﮌﮍﮎ ﮏ ​

˹The angels respond,˺ “There is not one of us without an assigned station ˹of worship˺.

Verse 165

We are indeed the ones lined up in ranks ˹for Allah˺.

Verse 166

ﮔﮕﮖ ﮗ ​

And we are indeed the ones ˹constantly˺ glorifying ˹His praise˺.”

Verse 167

ﮘﮙﮚ ﮛ ​

They certainly used to say,

“If only we had a Reminder like ˹those of˺ earlier peoples,

Verse 169

ﮣﮤﮥﮦ ﮧ ​

we would have truly been Allah’s devoted servants.”

Verse 170

ﮨﮩﮪﮫﮬ ﮭ ​

But ˹now˺ they reject it, so they will soon know.

Verse 171

Our Word has already gone forth to Our servants, the messengers,

Verse 172

that they would surely be helped,

Verse 173

ﯙﯚﯛﯜ ﯝ ​

and that Our forces will certainly prevail.

Verse 174

ﯞﯟﯠﯡ ﯢ ​

So turn away from the deniers for a while ˹O Prophet˺.

Verse 175

ﯣﯤﯥ ﯦ ​

You will see ˹what will happen to˺ them, and they too will see!

Verse 176

ﯧﯨ ﯩ ​

Do they ˹really˺ wish to hasten Our punishment?

Verse 177

ﯪﯫﯬﯭﯮﯯ ﯰ ​

Yet when it descends upon them: how evil will that morning be for those who had been warned!

Verse 178

And turn away from them for a while.

Verse 179

You will see, and they too will see!

Verse 180

Peace be upon the messengers.

Verse 182
