Al-Qalam


Nun. By the pen and that which they write (therewith),
ﮏﮐﮑﮒﮓ ﰁ​

Thou art not, for thy Lord's favour unto thee, a madman.
ﮕﮖﮗﮘﮙ ﰂ​

And lo! thine verily will be a reward unfailing.
ﮛﮜﮝﮞ ﰃ​

And lo! thou art of a tremendous nature.
ﮠﮡ ﰄ​

And thou wilt see and they will see
ﮣﮤ ﰅ​

Which of you is the demented.
ﮦﮧﮨﮩﮪﮫﮬﮭﮮﮯﮰ ﰆ​

Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth from His way, and He is Best Aware of those who walk aright.
ﯓﯔﯕ ﰇ​

Therefor obey not thou the rejecters
ﯗﯘﯙﯚ ﰈ​

Who would have had thee compromise, that they may compromise.
ﯜﯝﯞﯟﯠ ﰉ​

Neither obey thou each feeble oath-monger,
ﯢﯣﯤ ﰊ​

Detracter, spreader abroad of slanders,
ﯦﯧﯨﯩ ﰋ​

Hinderer of the good, transgressor, malefactor
ﯫﯬﯭﯮ ﰌ​

Greedy therewithal, intrusive.
ﯰﯱﯲﯳﯴ ﰍ​

It is because he is possessed of wealth and children
ﯶﯷﯸﯹﯺﯻﯼ ﰎ​

That, when Our revelations are recited unto him, he saith: Mere fables of the men of old.
ﯾﯿﰀ ﰏ​

We shall brand him on the nose.
ﭑﭒﭓﭔﭕﭖﭗﭘﭙﭚ ﰐ​

Lo! We have tried them as We tried the owners of the garden when they vowed that they would pluck its fruit next morning,
ﭜﭝ ﰑ​

And made no exception (for the Will of Allah);
ﭟﭠﭡﭢﭣﭤﭥ ﰒ​

Then a visitation from thy Lord came upon it while they slept
ﭧﭨ ﰓ​

And in the morning it was as if plucked.
ﭪﭫ ﰔ​

And they cried out one unto another in the morning,
ﭭﭮﭯﭰﭱﭲﭳ ﰕ​

Saying: Run unto your field if ye would pluck (the fruit).
ﭵﭶﭷ ﰖ​

So they went off, saying one unto another in low tones:
ﭹﭺﭻﭼﭽﭾ ﰗ​

No needy man shall enter it to-day against you.
ﮀﮁﮂﮃ ﰘ​

They went betimes, strong in (this) purpose.
ﮅﮆﮇﮈﮉ ﰙ​

But when they saw it, they said: Lo! we are in error!
ﮋﮌﮍ ﰚ​

Nay, but we are desolate!
ﮏﮐﮑﮒﮓﮔﮕ ﰛ​

The best among them said: Said I not unto you: Why glorify ye not (Allah)?
ﮗﮘﮙﮚﮛﮜ ﰜ​

They said: Glorified be our Lord! Lo! we have been wrong-doers.
ﮞﮟﮠﮡﮢ ﰝ​

Then some of them drew near unto others, self-reproaching.
ﮤﮥﮦﮧﮨ ﰞ​

They said: Alas for us! In truth we were outrageous.
ﮪﮫﮬﮭﮮﮯﮰﮱﯓﯔ ﰟ​

It may be that our Lord will give us better than this in place thereof. Lo! we beseech our Lord.
ﯖﯗﯘﯙﯚﯛﯜﯝﯞﯟ ﰠ​

Such was the punishment. And verily the punishment of the Hereafter is greater if they did but know.
ﯡﯢﯣﯤﯥﯦ ﰡ​

Lo! for those who keep from evil are gardens of bliss with their Lord.
ﯨﯩﯪ ﰢ​

Shall We then treat those who have surrendered as We treat the guilty?
ﯬﯭﯮﯯ ﰣ​

What aileth you? How foolishly ye judge!
ﯱﯲﯳﯴﯵ ﰤ​

Or have ye a scripture wherein ye learn
ﯷﯸﯹﯺﯻ ﰥ​

That ye shall indeed have all that ye choose?
ﯽﯾﯿﰀﰁﰂﰃﰄﰅﰆﰇﰈ ﰦ​

Or have ye a covenant on oath from Us that reacheth to the Day of Judgment, that yours shall be all that ye ordain?
ﰊﰋﰌﰍ ﰧ​

Ask them (O Muhammad) which of them will vouch for that!
ﰏﰐﰑﰒﰓﰔﰕﰖ ﰨ​

Or have they other gods? Then let them bring their other gods if they are truthful
ﰘﰙﰚﰛﰜﰝﰞﰟﰠ ﰩ​

On the day when it befalleth in earnest, and they are ordered to prostrate themselves but are not able,
ﭑﭒﭓﭔﭕﭖﭗﭘﭙﭚﭛﭜ ﰪ​

With eyes downcast, abasement stupefying them. And they had been summoned to prostrate themselves while they were yet unhurt.
ﭞﭟﭠﭡﭢﭣﭤﭥﭦﭧﭨ ﰫ​

Leave Me (to deal) with those who give the lie to this pronouncement. We shall lead them on by steps from whence they know not.
ﭪﭫﭬﭭﭮﭯ ﰬ​

Yet I bear with them, for lo! My scheme is firm.
ﭱﭲﭳﭴﭵﭶﭷ ﰭ​

Or dost thou (Muhammad) ask a fee from them so that they are heavily taxed?
ﭹﭺﭻﭼﭽ ﰮ​

Or is the Unseen theirs that they can write (thereof)?
ﭿﮀﮁﮂﮃﮄﮅﮆﮇﮈﮉ ﰯ​

But wait thou for thy Lord's decree, and be not like him of the fish, who cried out in despair.
ﮋﮌﮍﮎﮏﮐﮑﮒﮓﮔ ﰰ​

Had it not been that favour from his Lord had reached him he surely had been cast into the wilderness while he was reprobate.
ﮖﮗﮘﮙﮚ ﰱ​

But his Lord chose him and placed him among the righteous.
ﮜﮝﮞﮟﮠﮡﮢﮣﮤﮥﮦﮧ ﰲ​

And lo! those who disbelieve would fain disconcert thee with their eyes when they hear the Reminder, and they say: Lo! he is indeed mad;
ﮩﮪﮫﮬﮭ ﰳ​

When it is naught else than a Reminder to creation.
