آية رقم 1
Al-Kahf
All praise is for Allah Who has revealed the Book to His servant,1 allowing no crookedness in it,
آية رقم 2
˹making it˺ perfectly upright, to warn ˹the disbelievers˺ of a severe torment from Him; to give good news to the believers—who do good—that they will have a fine reward,
آية رقم 3
ﯸﯹﯺ
ﯻ
in which they will remain forever;
آية رقم 4
ﯼﯽﯾﯿﰀﰁ
ﰂ
and to warn those who claim, “Allah has offspring.”1
آية رقم 5
They have no knowledge of this, nor did their forefathers. What a terrible claim that comes out of their mouths! They say nothing but lies.
آية رقم 6
Now, perhaps you ˹O Prophet˺ will grieve yourself to death over their denial, if they ˹continue to˺ disbelieve in this message.
آية رقم 7
We have indeed made whatever is on earth as an adornment for it, in order to test which of them is best in deeds.
آية رقم 8
ﭼﭽﭾﭿﮀﮁ
ﮂ
And We will certainly reduce whatever is on it to barren ground.
آية رقم 9
Have you ˹O Prophet˺ thought that the people of the cave and the plaque1 were ˹the only˺ wonders of Our signs?
آية رقم 10
˹Remember˺ when those youths took refuge in the cave, and said, “Our Lord! Grant us mercy from Yourself and guide us rightly through our ordeal.”
آية رقم 11
So We caused them to fall into a dead sleep1 in the cave for many years,
آية رقم 12
then We raised them so We may show which of the two groups would make a better estimation of the length of their stay.1
آية رقم 13
We relate to you ˹O Prophet˺ their story in truth. They were youths who truly believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.
آية رقم 14
And We strengthened their hearts when they stood up and declared, “Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. We will never call upon any god besides Him, or we would truly be uttering an outrageous lie.”
آية رقم 15
˹Then they said to one another,˺ “These people of ours have taken gods besides Him. Why do they not produce a clear proof of them? Who then does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah?
آية رقم 16
Since you have distanced yourselves from them and what they worship besides Allah, take refuge in the cave. Your Lord will extend His mercy to you and accommodate you in your ordeal.”
آية رقم 17
And you would have seen the sun, as it rose, inclining away from their cave to the right, and as it set, declining away from them to the left, while they lay in its open space.1 That is one of the signs of Allah. Whoever Allah guides is truly guided. But whoever He leaves to stray, you will never find for them a guiding mentor.
آية رقم 18
And you would have thought they were awake,1 though they were asleep. We turned them over, to the right and left, while their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance. Had you looked at them, you would have certainly fled away from them, filled with horror.
آية رقم 19
And so We awakened them so that they might question one another. One of them exclaimed, “How long have you remained ˹asleep˺?” Some replied, “Perhaps a day, or part of a day.” They said ˹to one another˺, “Your Lord knows best how long you have remained. So send one of you with these silver coins of yours to the city, and let him find which food is the purest, and then bring you provisions from it. Let him be ˹exceptionally˺ cautious, and do not let him give you away.
آية رقم 20
For, indeed, if they find out about you, they will stone you ˹to death˺, or force you back into their faith, and then you will never succeed.”
آية رقم 21
That is how We caused them to be discovered so that their people might know that Allah’s promise ˹of resurrection˺ is true and that there is no doubt about the Hour.1 When the people disputed with each other about the case of the youth ˹after their death˺,2 some proposed, “Build a structure around them. Their Lord knows best about them.” Those who prevailed in the matter said, “We will surely build a place of worship over them.”
آية رقم 22
Some will say, “They were three, their dog was the fourth,” while others will say, “They were five, their dog was the sixth,” ˹only˺ guessing blindly. And others will say, “They were seven and their dog was the eighth.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “My Lord knows best their ˹exact˺ number. Only a few people know as well.” So do not argue about them except with sure knowledge,1 nor consult any of those ˹who debate˺ about them.
آية رقم 23
And never say of anything, “I will definitely do this tomorrow,”
آية رقم 24
without adding, “if Allah so wills!” But if you forget, then remember your Lord, and say, “I trust my Lord will guide me to what is more right than this.”
آية رقم 25
They had remained in their cave for three hundred years, adding nine.1
آية رقم 26
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Allah knows best how long they stayed. With Him ˹alone˺ is ˹the knowledge of˺ the unseen of the heavens and the earth. How perfectly He hears and sees! They have no guardian besides Him, and He shares His command with none.”
آية رقم 27
Recite what has been revealed to you from the Book of your Lord. None can change His Words, nor can you find any refuge besides Him.
آية رقم 28
And patiently stick with those who call upon their Lord morning and evening, seeking His pleasure.1 Do not let your eyes look beyond them, desiring the luxuries of this worldly life. And do not obey those whose hearts We have made heedless of Our remembrance, who follow ˹only˺ their desires and whose state is ˹total˺ loss.
آية رقم 29
And say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “˹This is˺ the truth from your Lord. Whoever wills let them believe, and whoever wills let them disbelieve.” Surely We have prepared for the wrongdoers a Fire whose walls will ˹completely˺ surround them. When they cry for aid, they will be aided with water like molten metal, which will burn ˹their˺ faces. What a horrible drink! And what a terrible place to rest!
آية رقم 30
As for those who believe and do good, We certainly never deny the reward of those who are best in deeds.
آية رقم 31
It is they who will have the Gardens of Eternity, with rivers flowing under their feet. There they will be adorned with bracelets of gold, and wear green garments of fine silk and rich brocade, reclining there on ˹canopied˺ couches. What a marvellous reward! And what a fabulous place to rest!
آية رقم 32
Give them ˹O Prophet˺ an example of two men. To ˹the disbelieving˺ one We gave two gardens of grapevines, which We surrounded with palm trees and placed ˹various˺ crops in between.
آية رقم 33
Each garden yielded ˹all˺ its produce, never falling short. And We caused a river to flow between them.
آية رقم 34
And he had other resources1 ˹as well˺. So he boasted to a ˹poor˺ companion of his, while conversing with him, “I am greater than you in wealth and superior in manpower.”
آية رقم 35
And he entered his property, while wronging his soul, saying, “I do not think this will ever perish,
آية رقم 36
nor do I think the Hour will ˹ever˺ come. And if in fact I am returned to my Lord, I will definitely get a far better outcome than ˹all˺ this.”
آية رقم 37
His ˹believing˺ companion replied, while conversing with him, “Do you disbelieve in the One Who created you from dust,1 then ˹developed you˺ from a sperm-drop, then formed you into a man?
آية رقم 38
But as for me: He is Allah, my Lord, and I will never associate anyone with my Lord ˹in worship˺.
آية رقم 39
If only you had said, upon entering your property, ‘This is what Allah has willed! There is no power except with Allah!’ Even though you see me inferior to you in wealth and offspring,
آية رقم 40
perhaps my Lord will grant me ˹something˺ better than your garden, and send down upon your garden a thunderbolt from the sky, turning it into a barren waste.
آية رقم 41
Or its water may sink ˹into the earth˺, and then you will never be able to seek it out.”
آية رقم 42
And so all his produce was ˹totally˺ ruined, so he started to wring his hands for all he had spent on it, while it had collapsed on its trellises. He cried, “Alas! I wish I had never associated anyone with my Lord ˹in worship˺!”
آية رقم 43
And he had no manpower to help him against Allah, nor could he ˹even˺ help himself.
آية رقم 44
At this time, support comes ˹only˺ from Allah—the True ˹Lord˺. He is best in reward and best in outcome.
آية رقم 45
And give them a parable of this worldly life. ˹It is˺ like the plants of the earth, thriving when sustained by the rain We send down from the sky. Then they ˹soon˺ turn into chaff scattered by the wind. And Allah is fully capable of ˹doing˺ all things.
آية رقم 46
Wealth and children are the adornment of this worldly life, but the everlasting good deeds are far better with your Lord in reward and in hope.1
آية رقم 47
˹Beware of˺ the Day We will blow the mountains away, and you will see the earth laid bare. And We will gather all ˹humankind˺, leaving none behind.
آية رقم 48
They will be presented before your Lord in rows, ˹and the deniers will be told,˺ “You have surely returned to Us ˹all alone˺ as We created you the first time, although you ˹always˺ claimed that We would never appoint a time for your return.”
آية رقم 49
And the record ˹of deeds˺ will be laid ˹open˺, and you will see the wicked in fear of what is ˹written˺ in it. They will cry, “Woe to us! What kind of record is this that does not leave any sin, small or large, unlisted?” They will find whatever they did present ˹before them˺. And your Lord will never wrong anyone.
آية رقم 50
And ˹remember˺ when We said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam,” so they all did—but not Iblîs,1 who was one of the jinn, but he rebelled against the command of his Lord. Would you then take him and his descendants as patrons instead of Me, although they are your enemy? What an evil alternative for the wrongdoers ˹to choose˺!
آية رقم 51
I never called them to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth or ˹even˺ their own creation, nor would I take the misleaders as helpers.
آية رقم 52
And ˹beware of˺ the Day He will say, “Call upon those you claimed were My associate-gods.” So they will call them, but will receive no response. And We will make them ˹all˺ share in the same doom.
آية رقم 53
The wicked will see the Fire and realize that they are bound to fall into it, and will find no way to avoid it.
آية رقم 54
We have surely set forth in this Quran every ˹kind of˺ lesson for people, but humankind is the most argumentative of all beings.
آية رقم 55
And nothing prevents people from believing when guidance comes to them and from seeking their Lord’s forgiveness except ˹their demand˺ to meet the same fate of earlier deniers or that the torment would confront them face to face.
آية رقم 56
We do not send the messengers except as deliverers of good news and warners. But the disbelievers argue in falsehood, ˹hoping˺ to discredit the truth with it, and make a mockery of My revelations and warnings.
آية رقم 57
And who does more wrong than those who, when reminded of their Lord’s revelations, turn away from them and forget what their own hands have done? We have certainly cast veils over their hearts—leaving them unable to comprehend this ˹Quran˺—and deafness in their ears. And if you ˹O Prophet˺ invite them to ˹true˺ guidance, they will never be ˹rightly˺ guided.
آية رقم 58
Your Lord is the All-Forgiving, Full of Mercy. If He were to seize them ˹immediately˺ for what they commit, He would have certainly hastened their punishment. But they have an appointed time, from which they will find no refuge.
آية رقم 59
Those ˹are the˺ societies We destroyed when they persisted in wrong,1 and We had set a time for their destruction.
آية رقم 60
And ˹remember˺ when Moses said to his young assistant, “I will never give up until I reach the junction of the two seas, even if I travel for ages.”1
آية رقم 61
But when they ˹finally˺ reached the point where the seas met, they forgot their ˹salted˺ fish, and it made its way into the sea, slipping away ˹wondrously˺.
آية رقم 62
When they had passed further, he said to his assistant, “Bring us our meal! We have certainly been exhausted by today’s journey.”
آية رقم 63
He replied, “Do you remember when we rested by the rock? ˹That is when˺ I forgot the fish. None made me forget to mention this except Satan. And the fish made its way into the sea miraculously.”1
آية رقم 64
Moses responded, “That is ˹exactly˺ what we were looking for.”1 So they returned, retracing their footsteps.
آية رقم 65
There they found a servant of Ours, to whom We had granted mercy from Us and enlightened with knowledge of Our Own.
آية رقم 66
Moses said to him, “May I follow you, provided that you teach me some of the right guidance you have been taught?”
آية رقم 67
ﮘﮙﮚﮛﮜﮝ
ﮞ
He said, “You certainly cannot be patient ˹enough˺ with me.
آية رقم 68
And how can you be patient with what is beyond your ˹realm of˺ knowledge?”
آية رقم 69
Moses assured ˹him˺, “You will find me patient, Allah willing, and I will not disobey any of your orders.”
آية رقم 70
He responded, “Then if you follow me, do not question me about anything until I ˹myself˺ clarify it for you.”
آية رقم 71
So they set out, but after they had boarded a ship, the man made a hole in it. Moses protested, “Have you done this to drown its people? You have certainly done a terrible thing!”
آية رقم 72
He replied, “Did I not say that you cannot have patience with me?”
آية رقم 73
Moses pleaded, “Excuse me for forgetting, and do not be hard on me.”
آية رقم 74
So they proceeded until they came across a boy, and the man killed him. Moses protested, “Have you killed an innocent soul, who killed no one? You have certainly done a horrible thing.”
آية رقم 75
He answered, “Did I not tell you that you cannot have patience with me?”
آية رقم 76
Moses replied, “If I ever question you about anything after this, then do not keep me in your company, for by then I would have given you enough of an excuse.”
آية رقم 77
So they moved on until they came to the people of a town. They asked them for food, but the people refused to give them hospitality. There they found a wall ready to collapse, so the man set it right. Moses protested, “If you wanted, you could have demanded a fee for this.”
آية رقم 78
He replied, “This is the parting of our ways. I will explain to you what you could not bear patiently.
آية رقم 79
“As for the ship, it belonged to some poor people, working at sea. So I intended to damage it, for there was a ˹tyrant˺ king ahead of them who seizes every ˹good˺ ship by force.
آية رقم 80
“And as for the boy, his parents were ˹true˺ believers, and we1 feared that he would pressure them into defiance and disbelief.
آية رقم 81
So we hoped that their Lord would give them another, more virtuous and caring in his place.
آية رقم 82
“And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and under the wall was a treasure that belonged to them, and their father had been a righteous man. So your Lord willed that these children should come of age and retrieve their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. I did not do it ˹all˺ on my own. This is the explanation of what you could not bear patiently.”1
آية رقم 83
They ask you ˹O Prophet˺ about Ⱬul-Qarnain. Say, “I will relate to you something of his narrative.”1
آية رقم 84
Surely We established him in the land, and gave him the means to all things.
آية رقم 85
ﭜﭝ
ﭞ
So he travelled a course,
آية رقم 86
until he reached the setting ˹point˺ of the sun, which appeared to him to be setting in a spring of murky water, where he found some people. We said, “O Ⱬul-Qarnain! Either punish them or treat them kindly.”
آية رقم 87
He responded, “Whoever does wrong will be punished by us, then will be returned to their Lord, Who will punish them with a horrible torment.
آية رقم 88
As for those who believe and do good, they will have the finest reward, and we will assign them easy commands.”
آية رقم 89
ﮖﮗﮘ
ﮙ
Then he travelled a ˹different˺ course
آية رقم 90
until he reached the rising ˹point˺ of the sun. He found it rising on a people for whom We had provided no shelter from it.1
آية رقم 91
So it was. And We truly had full knowledge of him.
آية رقم 92
ﯓﯔﯕ
ﯖ
Then he travelled a ˹third˺ course
آية رقم 93
until he reached ˹a pass˺ between two mountains. He found in front of them a people who could hardly understand ˹his˺ language.
آية رقم 94
They pleaded, “O Ⱬul-Qarnain! Surely Gog and Magog1 are spreading corruption throughout the land. Should we pay you tribute, provided that you build a wall between us and them?”
آية رقم 95
He responded, “What my Lord has provided for me is far better. But assist me with resources, and I will build a barrier between you and them.
آية رقم 96
Bring me blocks of iron!” Then, when he had filled up ˹the gap˺ between the two mountains, he ordered, “Blow!” When the iron became red hot, he said, “Bring me molten copper to pour over it.”
آية رقم 97
And so the enemies could neither scale nor tunnel through it.
آية رقم 98
He declared, “This is a mercy from my Lord. But when the promise of my Lord comes to pass, He will level it to the ground. And my Lord’s promise is ever true.”
آية رقم 99
On that Day, We will let them1 surge ˹like waves˺ over one another. Later, the Trumpet will be blown,2 and We will gather all ˹people˺ together.
آية رقم 100
ﭱﭲﭳﭴﭵ
ﭶ
On that Day We will display Hell clearly for the disbelievers,
آية رقم 101
those who turned a blind eye to My Reminder1 and could not stand listening ˹to it˺.
آية رقم 102
Do the disbelievers think they can ˹simply˺ take My servants1 as lords instead of Me? We have surely prepared Hell as an accommodation for the disbelievers.
آية رقم 103
ﮓﮔﮕﮖﮗ
ﮘ
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Shall we inform you of who will lose the most deeds?
آية رقم 104
˹They are˺ those whose efforts are in vain in this worldly life, while they think they are doing good!”
آية رقم 105
It is they who reject the signs of their Lord and their meeting with Him, rendering their deeds void, so We will not give their deeds any weight on Judgment Day.
آية رقم 106
That is their reward: Hell, for their disbelief and mockery of My signs and messengers.
آية رقم 107
Indeed, those who believe and do good will have the Gardens of Paradise1 as an accommodation,
آية رقم 108
ﯪﯫﯬﯭﯮﯯ
ﯰ
where they will be forever, never desiring anywhere else.
آية رقم 109
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If the ocean were ink for ˹writing˺ the Words of my Lord, it would certainly run out before the Words of my Lord were finished, even if We refilled it with its equal.”
آية رقم 110
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “I am only a man like you, ˹but˺ it has been revealed to me that your God is only One God. So whoever hopes for the meeting with their Lord, let them do good deeds and associate none in the worship of their Lord.”
