Al-Qalam


Nūn , by the pen and what they write,
ﮏﮐﮑﮒﮓ ﰁ​

with the grace of your Lord, you are not insane.
ﮕﮖﮗﮘﮙ ﰂ​

And you will definitely have a reward that will never end.
ﮛﮜﮝﮞ ﰃ​

And you are surely on an excellent standard of character.
ﮠﮡ ﰄ​

So, you will see, and they will see
ﮣﮤ ﰅ​

which of you is demented.
ﮦﮧﮨﮩﮪﮫﮬﮭﮮﮯﮰ ﰆ​

Surely your Lord knows best who has strayed from his way, and He is well aware of those who are on the right path.
ﯓﯔﯕ ﰇ​

So, do not obey those who reject (the true faith.)
ﯗﯘﯙﯚ ﰈ​

They wish that you become flexible (in your faith), so that they should become flexible (in their hostile attitude.)
ﯜﯝﯞﯟﯠ ﰉ​

And do not obey any contemptible one who swears much,
ﯢﯣﯤ ﰊ​

a slanderer who goes about with calumnies,
ﯦﯧﯨﯩ ﰋ​

one who prevents good, (and who is) transgressor, sinful,
ﯫﯬﯭﯮ ﰌ​

harsh, (and) after all that, notorious,
ﯰﯱﯲﯳﯴ ﰍ​

(do not obey such a person merely) because he is a man of wealth and sons.
ﯶﯷﯸﯹﯺﯻﯼ ﰎ​

When Our verses are recited to him, he says, “(These are) the tales of the ancient.”
ﯾﯿﰀ ﰏ​

We will soon brand him on the snout.
ﭑﭒﭓﭔﭕﭖﭗﭘﭙﭚ ﰐ​

We have tested them as We had tested the Owners of the Garden, when they had sworn an oath that they would pluck its fruits on the next morning,
ﭜﭝ ﰑ​

and did not make any exception (by saying inshā’allāh ).
ﭟﭠﭡﭢﭣﭤﭥ ﰒ​

Then, there whirled around it a whirl (of calamity) from your Lord, while they were asleep.
ﭧﭨ ﰓ​

Thus, on the next morning, it was like a harvested field.
ﭪﭫ ﰔ​

So, they called out each other as the morning broke,
ﭭﭮﭯﭰﭱﭲﭳ ﰕ​

saying, “Set out early, if you are going to pluck (the fruits).”
ﭵﭶﭷ ﰖ​

So they set out while they were whispering to each other,
ﭹﭺﭻﭼﭽﭾ ﰗ​

saying, “Let no poor man enter into it upon you today.”
ﮀﮁﮂﮃ ﰘ​

And in early hours they rushed quickly, while they were (assuming themselves) powerful (to pluck the fruits and prevent the poor.)
ﮅﮆﮇﮈﮉ ﰙ​

But when they saw it (the place of the ruined garden), they said, “We have missed the way.”
ﮋﮌﮍ ﰚ​

(Then, once they realized that the garden is the same, but it has been destroyed, they said,) “No, but we are deprived (of the fruits).”
ﮏﮐﮑﮒﮓﮔﮕ ﰛ​

Said he who was the best among them, “Did I not say to you, ‘Why do you not pronounce tasbīH (Allah’s purity)?”
ﮗﮘﮙﮚﮛﮜ ﰜ​

They said, “We pronounce the purity of our Lord. No doubt, we were wrongdoers.”
ﮞﮟﮠﮡﮢ ﰝ​

Then, (at the beginning,) they started reproaching one another;
ﮤﮥﮦﮧﮨ ﰞ​

(and at last,) they said, “Woe to us! In fact, we (all) were outrageous.
ﮪﮫﮬﮭﮮﮯﮰﮱﯓﯔ ﰟ​

We hope that our Lord will give us in exchange something better than this. Truly we turn to Allah.”
ﯖﯗﯘﯙﯚﯛﯜﯝﯞﯟ ﰠ​

In this way the punishment comes. And, of course, the punishment of the Hereafter is even greater, if they but realize!
ﯡﯢﯣﯤﯥﯦ ﰡ​

Surely, for the God-fearing there are gardens of bliss.
ﯨﯩﯪ ﰢ​

Otherwise, shall We make the obedient like the sinners?
ﯬﯭﯮﯯ ﰣ​

What has happened to you? How do you judge?
ﯱﯲﯳﯴﯵ ﰤ​

Do you have a book in which you read
ﯷﯸﯹﯺﯻ ﰥ​

that for you there is what you choose?
ﯽﯾﯿﰀﰁﰂﰃﰄﰅﰆﰇﰈ ﰦ​

Or do you have oaths sworn by Us, remaining effective up to the Day of Judgment, that you will get what you decide?
ﰊﰋﰌﰍ ﰧ​

Ask them which of them stands surety for that.
ﰏﰐﰑﰒﰓﰔﰕﰖ ﰨ​

Or do they have associate-gods (who have guaranteed safety for them)? Then, let them bring their associate-gods, if they are true.
ﰘﰙﰚﰛﰜﰝﰞﰟﰠ ﰩ​

On the Day when the Shin will be exposed, and they will be called upon to prostrate themselves, they will not be able to.
ﭑﭒﭓﭔﭕﭖﭗﭘﭙﭚﭛﭜ ﰪ​

With their eyes downcast, they will be enveloped by ignominy. They used to be called upon to prostrate when they were healthy (but they did not.)
ﭞﭟﭠﭡﭢﭣﭤﭥﭦﭧﭨ ﰫ​

So, leave Me alone with those who reject this discourse. We will draw them on little by little (towards Hell) from a way they do not know.
ﭪﭫﭬﭭﭮﭯ ﰬ​

And I give them respite. Indeed, My plan is firm.
ﭱﭲﭳﭴﭵﭶﭷ ﰭ​

Is it that you ask them for a fee, due to which they are burdened with debt?
ﭹﭺﭻﭼﭽ ﰮ​

Or do they have the (knowledge of the) Unseen, and they write it down?
ﭿﮀﮁﮂﮃﮄﮅﮆﮇﮈﮉ ﰯ​

So, remain patient with your Lord’s judgment, and be not like the Man of the Fish, he cried out while he was in anguish.
ﮋﮌﮍﮎﮏﮐﮑﮒﮓﮔ ﰰ​

Had not a favour from His Lord come to his help, he would have been cast in the wilderness in a reproachable state.
ﮖﮗﮘﮙﮚ ﰱ​

Then his Lord chose him, and made him one of the righteous.
ﮜﮝﮞﮟﮠﮡﮢﮣﮤﮥﮦﮧ ﰲ​

And indeed the disbelievers seem to trip you up with their glances when they hear the Reminder, and say, “He is a madman indeed.”
ﮩﮪﮫﮬﮭ ﰳ​

And it is nothing else but a Reminder for all the worlds.
