|@ The Children of Israel reject Aaron’s attempts to stop them worshiping the golden calf 20:90-94
20:90 Aaron had said to them (the Children of Israel) before, ‘My nation, you have been tempted by it. Your Lord is the Merciful. Follow me and obey my order.’
# وَلَقَدْ قَالَ لَهُمْ هَارُونُ مِن قَبْلُ يَا قَوْمِ إِنَّمَا فُتِنتُم بِهِ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ الرَّحْمَنُ فَاتَّبِعُونِي وَأَطِيعُوا أَمْرِي 90
20:91 They replied, ‘We will not stop; we will cling to it until Moses returns to us.’
# قَالُوا لَن نَّبْرَحَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِفِينَ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْنَا مُوسَى 91
20:92 He (Moses) said to Aaron, ‘When you saw them in error, what prevented you,
# قَالَ يَا هَارُونُ مَا مَنَعَكَ إِذْ رَأَيْتَهُمْ ضَلُّوا 92
20:93 from following after me, did you disobey my order?’
# أَلاَّ تَتَّبِعَنِ أَفَعَصَيْتَ أَمْرِي 93
20:94 ‘Son of my mother,’ he replied, ‘Do not seize my beard nor my head. I was afraid that you might say, “You have divided the Children of Israel and did not uphold my word.”
# قَالَ يَا بْنَؤُمَّ لاَ تَأْخُذْ بِلِحْيَتِي وَلاَ بِرَأْسِي إِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَن تَقُولَ فَرَّقْتَ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَمْ تَرْقُبْ قَوْلِي 94

20:95 ‘You, Samaritan, ‘ said he (Moses), ‘what was your business? ‘
# قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكَ يَا سَامِرِيُّ 95
20:96 He replied, ‘I saw what they did not see and seized a handful of dust from the foot print of the messenger and so I cast it, this my soul prompted me to do.’
# قَالَ بَصُرْتُ بِمَا لَمْ يَبْصُرُوا بِهِ فَقَبَضْتُ قَبْضَةً مِّنْ أَثَرِ الرَّسُولِ فَنَبَذْتُهَا وَكَذَلِكَ سَوَّلَتْ لِي نَفْسِي 96
20:97 ‘Begone! Your lot in this life is to cry, “untouchable!” ‘ said he (Moses). ‘An appointment awaits you that you cannot fail to keep. Look at your god which you clung to indeed we will burn it and scatter its ashes upon the sea.’
# قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِي الحَيَاةِ أَن تَقُولَ لاَ مِسَاسَ وَإِنَّ لَكَ مَوْعِداً لَّن تُخْلَفَهُ وَانظُرْ إِلَى إِلَهِكَ الَّذِي ظَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِفاً لَّنُحَرِّقَنَّهُ ثُمَّ لَنَنسِفَنَّهُ فِي اليَمِّ نَسْفاً 97

$ The Day of Resurrection 20:100-113
20:100 Whosoever has turned away from it shall bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection.
# مَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَحْمِلُ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ وِزْراً 100

# خَالِدِينَ فِيهِ وَسَاءَ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ حِمْلاً 101
20:102 The Day when the Horn shall be blown. On that Day, We shall assemble all the sinners with blued eyes,
# يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ وَنَحْشُرُ المُجْرِمِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ زُرْقاً 102
20:103 and they shall mutter among themselves, ‘You have stayed away but ten (days and nights).’
# يَتَخَافَتُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلاَّ عَشْراً 103
20:104 We know well what they will say. The most just among them in the matter will declare, ‘You have stayed away but one day.’
# نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذْ يَقُولُ أَمْثَلُهُمْ طَرِيقَةً إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلاَّ يَوْماً 104
20:105 They will question you about the mountains. Say, ‘My Lord will scatter them as ashes
# وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الجِبَالِ فَقُلْ يَنسِفُهَا رَبِّي نَسْفاً 105
20:106 and leave them a desolate waste,
# فَيَذَرُهَا قَاعاً صَفْصَفاً 106
20:107 with neither crookedness nor any curving to be seen therein.’
# لاَ تَرَى فِيهَا عِوَجاً وَلاَ أَمْتاً 107
20:108 On that Day, they will follow the Summoner, who is not crooked, their voices hushed before the Merciful, and you shall hear nothing except a murmuring.
# يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَّبِعُونَ الدَّاعِيَ لاَ عِوَجَ لَهُ وَخَشَعَتِ الأَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمَنِ فَلاَ تَسْمَعُ إِلاَّ هَمْساً 108
20:109 On that Day intercession will not benefit them except him that has received the permission of the Merciful and whose words are pleased by Him.
# يَوْمَئِذٍ لاَّ تَنفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ إِلاَّ مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَنُ وَرَضِيَ لَهُ قَوْلاً 109
20:110 He knows what is before them and behind them, and they do not comprehend Him in knowledge.
# يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلاَ يُحِيطُونَ بِهِ عِلْماً 110
20:111 (All) faces shall be humbled before the Living One, the Eternal. Those who are burdened with wrong doing shall have failed,
# وَعَنَتِ الوُجُوهُ لِلْحَيِّ القَيُّومِ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ حَمَلَ ظُلْماً 111
20:112 but those who have believed and done good works shall fear neither wrong nor injustice.
# وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلاَ يَخَافُ ظُلْماً وَلاَ هَضْماً 112
20:113 As such We sent it down, an Arabic Koran, and explained in it threats in order that they be cautious, or, that it prompts the Remembrance in them.

20:115 We made a covenant with Adam, but he forgot and We found in him no constancy.
# وَلَقَدْ عَهِدْنَا إِلَى آدَمَ مِن قَبْلُ فَنَسِيَ وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُ عَزْماً 115
20:116 And when We said to the angels, ‘Prostrate yourselves before Adam,’ they all prostrated themselves except iblis, who refused.
# وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلاَّ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَى 116
20:117 ‘Adam,’ We said, ‘This is your and your wife’s enemy. Do not let him expel you from the Garden, so that you (Adam) will be tired.
# فَقُلْنَا يَا آدَمُ إِنَّ هَذَا عَدُوٌّ لَّكَ وَلِزَوْجِكَ فَلاَ يُخْرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ الجَنَّةِ فَتَشْقَى 117
20:118 It has been given to you so that you shall neither become hungry nor naked therein;
# إِنَّ لَكَ أَلاَّ تَجُوعَ فِيهَا وَلاَ تَعْرَى 118
20:119 there, (you shall) neither thirst, nor suffer from the sun.’
# وَأَنَّكَ لاَ تَظْمَأُ فِيهَا وَلاَ تَضْحَى 119
|@ The whispering of satan to Adam 20:120-127
20:120 But satan whispered to him saying, ‘Adam, shall I direct you the Tree of Eternity and a kingdom which never decays?’
# فَوَسْوَسَ إِلَيْهِ الشَّيْطَانُ قَالَ يَا آدَمُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى شَجَرَةِ الخُلْدِ وَمُلْكٍ لاَّ يَبْلَى 120
20:121 They both ate of it, and their shameful parts appeared to them, whereupon they began to stitch upon themselves leaves from the Garden. And so it was, Adam erred and disobeyed his Lord.
# فَأَكَلا مِنْهَا فَبَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْءَاتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ الجَنَّةِ وَعَصَى آدَمُ رَبَّهُ فَغَوَى 121
20:122 But afterwards his Lord chose him; He turned again towards him and guided him.
# ثُمَّ اجْتَبَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ وَهَدَى 122
20:123 ‘Both of you, together, go down out of it (the Garden) each of you an enemy to the other,’ He said, ‘but, if My Guidance comes to you, whosoever follows My Guidance shall neither go astray nor be unprosperous;
# قَالَ اهْبِطَا مِنْهَا جَمِيعاً بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ فَإِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُم مِّنِّي هُدًى فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُدَايَ فَلاَ يَضِلُّ وَلاَ يَشْقَى 123
20:124 but whosoever turns away from My remembrance, his life shall be narrow and on the Day of Resurrection We shall raise him blind.’
# وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكاً وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى 124
20:125 ‘My Lord, ‘ he will say, ‘why have You raised me blind when I was able to see?’
# قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِي أَعْمَى وَقَدْ كُنتُ بَصِيراً 125
20:126 He (Allah) will say, ‘It is so, Our verses came to you and you forgot them. So this Day you are forgotten.’
# قَالَ كَذَلِكَ أَتَتْكَ آيَاتُنَا فَنَسِيتَهَا وَكَذَلِكَ اليَوْمَ تُنسَى 126
20:127 In this way We recompense the prodigal who disbelieves the verses of his Lord. But the punishment of the Everlasting Life is more terrible and everlasting.
# وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي مَنْ أَسْرَفَ وَلَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِ وَلَعَذَابُ الآخِرَةِ أَشَدُّ وَأَبْقَى 127

21:29 If any one of them says, ‘I am a god other than Him (Allah),’ We will recompense him with Gehenna (Hell). As such We recompense the harm doers.
# وَمَن يَقُلْ مِنْهُمْ إِنِّي إِلَهٌ مِّن دُونِهِ فَذَلِكَ نَجْزِيهِ جَهَنَّمَ كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الظَّالِمِينَ 29
|@ Signs of Allah in the heavens and earth 21:30-34
21:30 Have the unbelievers not seen that the heavens and the earth were sewn up as one (solid) mass, then We unstitched them, and that We made every living thing of water? Will they not believe!
# أَوَ لَمْ يَرَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقاً فَفَتَقْنَاهُمَا وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ المَاءِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَيٍّ أَفَلاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ 30
21:31 We set firm mountains upon the earth lest it should shake with them, and We placed therein ravines to be paths so that they might be guided.
# وَجَعَلْنَا فِي الأَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِهِمْ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا فِجَاجاً سُبُلاً لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ 31
21:32 We established the heaven as a well protected roof, yet they still turn away from its signs.
# وَجَعَلْنَا السَّمَاءَ سَقْفاً مَّحْفُوظاً وَهُمْ عَنْ آيَاتِهَا مُعْرِضُونَ 32
21:33 It is He who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; each floating in an orbit.
# وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ كُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ 33
21:34 We have never assigned immortality to a human before you, therefore, if you yourself die, will they live forever?
# وَمَا جَعَلْنَا لِبَشَرٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ الخُلْدَ أَفَإِن مِّتَّ فَهُمُ الخَالِدُونَ 34
|@ Everyone will be tried with good and evil 21:35
21:35 Every soul shall taste death. We will try you with a trial of evil and good. Then, to Us you shall be returned.
# كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ المَوْتِ وَنَبْلُوكُم بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ 35
|@ Allah shows the unbelievers where they go astray 21:36
21:36 When the unbelievers see you (Prophet Muhammad), they take you only for mockery, saying, ‘Is this he who talks about your gods?’ While they are unbelievers in the Remembrance of the Merciful.
# وَإِذَا رَآكَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلاَّ هُزُواً أَهَذَا الَّذِي يَذْكُرُ آلِهَتَكُمْ وَهُم بِذِكْرِ الرَّحْمَنِ هُمْ كَافِرُونَ 36
|@ The warning to those who do not believe 21:37-46
21:37 The human was created of haste. Indeed, I will show you My signs; so do not ask Me to hasten them.
# خُلِقَ الإِنسَانُ مِنْ عَجَلٍ سَأُرِيكُمْ آيَاتِي فَلاَ تَسْتَعْجِلُونِ 37
21:38 They say, ‘If you (Prophet Muhammad) are truthful, when will this promise come?’
# وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَى هَذَا الوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ 38
21:39 If the unbelievers only knew when they will be unable to shield either their faces or their backs from the Fire; when they will not be helped!
# لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا حِينَ لاَ يَكُفُّونَ عَن وَجُوهِهِمُ النَّارَ وَلاَ عَن ظُهُورِهِمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ 39
21:40 It will overtake them suddenly, dumbfounding them. They shall be unable to ward it off, and they shall not be respited.
# بَلْ تَأْتِيهِم بَغْتَةً فَتَبْهَتُهُمْ فَلاَ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ رَدَّهَا وَلاَ هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ 40
21:41 Before you (Prophet Muhammad), other Messengers were mocked, but the mockers were encompassed by the very thing they mocked.
# وَلَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِالَّذِينَ سَخِرُوا مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ 41
21:42 Say, ‘Who will guard you, by night and by day from the Merciful?’ But no, they turn away from their Lord’s remembrance.
# قُلْ مَن يَكْلَؤُكُم بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ بَلْ هُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ 42
21:43 Or have they gods to defend them, other than Us? Indeed, they are unable to help themselves, neither shall they be guarded in safety from Us.
# أَمْ لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ تَمْنَعُهُم مِّن دُونِنَا لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَلاَ هُم مِّنَّا يُصْحَبُونَ 43
21:44 We gave days of enjoyment to them and their fathers until their life became long. Are they unable to see how We come to their land and reduce its borders. Or, is it they who are the victors?
# بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هَؤُلاءِ وَآبَاءَهُمْ حَتَّى طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ العُمُرُ أَفَلاَ يَرَوْنَ أَنَّا نَأْتِي الأَرْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَا أَفَهُمُ الغَالِبُونَ 44
21:45 Say, ‘I warn you only by the Revelation.’ But the deaf hear nothing when they are warned.
# قُلْ إِنَّمَا أُنذِرُكُم بِالْوَحْيِ وَلاَ يَسْمَعُ الصُّمُّ الدُّعَاءَ إِذَا مَا يُنذَرُونَ 45
21:46 But if just a breath of your Lord’s punishment were to touch them, they would say, ‘Woe for us, we were harm doers!’
# وَلَئِن مَّسَّتْهُمْ نَفْحَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ 46
|@ No one will be wronged on the Day of Resurrection 21:47-50
21:47 On the Day of Resurrection We shall set up just scales, so that no soul shall in the least be wronged, even though it be the weight of a grain of mustard seed We will bring it We Suffice as reckoners.
# وَنَضَعُ المَوَازِينَ القِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ القِيَامَةِ فَلاَ تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْئاً وَإِن كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنَا بِهَا وَكَفَى بِنَا حَاسِبِينَ 47
21:48 We gave Moses and Aaron the Criterion, and gave them a light and a Remembrance for the cautious;
# وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ الفُرْقَانَ وَضِيَاءً وَذِكْراً لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ 48
21:49 those who fear Allah in the Unseen, tremble because of the Hour.
# الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِالْغَيْبِ وَهُم مِّنَ السَّاعَةِ مُشْفِقُونَ 49
21:50 This is a blessed Remembrance which We have sent down. Do you disbelieve it?
# وَهَذَا ذِكْرٌ مُّبَارَكٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ أَفَأَنتُمْ لَهُ مُنكِرُونَ 50
|@ Abraham proves the worthlessness of idolatry 21:51-67
21:51 Before this We gave Abraham his virtue, for We knew him.
# وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ رُشْدَهُ مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا بِهِ عَالِمِينَ 51
21:52 He said to his father and to his nation, ‘What, are these the statues to which you cling?’
# إِذْ قَالَ لأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَا هَذِهِ التَّمَاثِيلُ الَتِي أَنتُمْ لَهَا عَاكِفُونَ 52
21:53 They replied, ‘We found our fathers worshipping them.’
# قَالُوا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا لَهَا عَابِدِينَ 53
21:54 He said, ‘Truly, you and your fathers are in clear error.’
# قَالَ لَقَدْ كُنتُمْ أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ فِي ضَلالٍ مُّبِينٍ 54
21:55 They said, ‘Is it the truth you have brought us, or are you one of those that play?’
# قَالُوا أَجِئْتَنَا بِالْحَقِّ أَمْ أَنْتَ مِنَ اللاَّعِبِينَ 55
21:56 ‘No,’ he answered, ‘your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Originator of them, and I am among those bearing witness to it.
# قَالَ بَل رَّبُّكُمْ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ الَّذِي فَطَرَهُنَّ وَأَنَا عَلَى ذَلِكُم مِّنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ 56
21:57 By Allah, I will certainly outwit your idols as soon as you have turned your backs and gone.’
# وَتَاللَّهِ لأَكِيدَنَّ أَصْنَامَكُم بَعْدَ أَن تُوَلُّوا مُدْبِرِينَ 57
21:58 He broke them all into pieces, except their great one so that they might return to it.
# فَجَعَلَهُمْ جُذَاذاً إِلاَّ كَبِيراً لَّهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُونَ 58
21:59 ‘Who has done this to our gods?’ they exclaimed. ‘He must surely be a harm doer.’
# قَالُوا مَن فَعَلَ هَذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ 59
21:60 ‘We have heard a young man called Abraham mention them’ they replied.
# قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا فَتًى يَذْكُرُهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ 60
21:61 They said, ‘Then bring him here so that the people may see, so that they may bear witness.’
# قَالُوا فَأْتُوا بِهِ عَلَى أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْهَدُونَ 61
$ Even though the unbelievers recognize the truth most will not admit it because of their position in society 21:62-67
21:62 ‘Abraham,’ they said, ‘was it you who did this to our gods?’
# قَالُوا أَأَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ 62
21:63 ‘No,’ he replied. ‘It was their great one amongst them that did it. Ask them, if they are able to speak.’
# قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَذَا فَاسْأَلُوَهُمْ إِن كَانُوا يَنطِقُونَ 63
21:64 So they returned one to another saying, ‘Surely, it is you who are the harm doers!’
# فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ فَقَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ أَنتُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ 64
21:65 But then they reversed their minds, ‘You know they do not speak.’
# ثُمَّ نُكِسُوا عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا هَؤُلاءِ يَنطِقُونَ 65
21:66 He said, ‘Would you then worship that, instead of Allah, which can neither help nor harm you?
# قَالَ أَفَتَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لاَ يَنفَعُكُمْ شَيْئاً وَلايَضُرُّكُمْ 66
21:67 Shame on you and on that you worship other than Allah! Have you no understanding?’
# أُفٍّ لَّكُمْ وَلِمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ تَعْقِلُونَ 67
|@ Allah protects Abraham when his people try to burn him and saved Lot 21:68-71
21:68 They said, ‘Burn him and help your gods, if you are going to do anything!’
# قَالُوا حَرِّقُوهُ وَانصُرُوا آلِهَتَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ 68
21:69 ‘O Fire,’ We said, ‘be coolness and safety for Abraham.’
# قُلْنَا يَا نَارُ كُونِي بَرْداً وَسَلاماً عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ 69
21:70 They sought to outwit him, but We made them the worst of losers.
# وَأَرَادُوا بِهِ كَيْداً فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الأَخْسَرِينَ 70
21:71 We saved him and Lot, and brought them to the land which We had blessed for all the worlds.
# وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَلُوطاً إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَتِي بَارَكْنَا فِيهَا لِلْعَالَمِينَ 71
|@ Abraham’s children and some of his descendants were prophets 21:72-73
21:72 We gave him, in excess, Isaac, and Jacob (for a grandson); and We made each righteous
# وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ نَافِلَةً وَكُلاًّ جَعَلْنَا صَالِحِينَ 72
21:73 and appointed them leaders to guide by Our Command and We revealed to them to do good deeds, and to establish the prayer, and the giving of charity, and they were for Us worshipers.
# وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنَا وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْهِمْ فِعْلَ الخَيْرَاتِ وَإِقَامَ الصَّلاةِ وَإِيتَاءَ الزَّكَاةِ وَكَانُوا لَنَا عَابِدِينَ 73
|@ The Mercy of Allah to Lot 21:74-75
21:74 To Lot, We gave judgment and knowledge and saved him from the village that had been committing corrupt deeds; for they were an evil nation and were debauched.
# وَلُوطاً آتَيْنَاهُ حُكْماً وَعِلْماً وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ مِنَ القَرْيَةِ الَتِي كَانَت تَّعْمَلُ الخَبَائِثَ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فَاسِقِينَ 74
21:75 We admitted him to Our Mercy, he was among the righteous.
# وَأَدْخَلْنَاهُ فِي رَحْمَتِنَا إِنَّهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ 75
|@ The Mercy of Allah to Noah 21:76-77
21:76 And (remember) Noah, when he supplicated to Us, We answered him, and We saved him and his nation from great distress,
# وَنُوحاً إِذْ نَادَى مِن قَبْلُ فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ فَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ مِنَ الكَرْبِ العَظِيمِ 76
21:77 and helped him against the nation who had belied Our signs. They were an evil nation; We drowned them all.
# وَنَصَرْنَاهُ مِنَ القَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فَأَغْرَقْنَاهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ 77
|@ The story of Prophets David and Solomon 21:78-82
21:78 And David and Solomon they passed judgment upon the tilled land on which the people’s sheep had strayed. We bore witness to their judgment, and
# وَدَاوُدَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ إِذْ يَحْكُمَانِ فِي الحَرْثِ إِذْ نَفَشَتْ فِيهِ غَنَمُ القَوْمِ وَكُنَّا لِحُكْمِهِمْ شَاهِدِينَ 78
21:79 We made Solomon to understand it, and to both We gave judgment and knowledge. And with David We subjected the mountains and birds to exalt (Allah). All this We have done.
# فَفَهَّمْنَاهَا سُلَيْمَانَ وَكُلاًّ آتَيْنَا حُكْماً وَعِلْماً وَسَخَّرْنَا مَعَ دَاوُدَ الجِبَالَ يُسَبِّحْنَ وَالطَّيْرَ وَكُنَّا فَاعِلِينَ 79
21:80 We taught him the craft of making garments that fortify you against your own violence. Are you thankful?
# وَعَلَّمْنَاهُ صَنْعَةَ لَبُوسٍ لَّكُمْ لِتُحْصِنَكُم مِّنْ بَأْسِكُمْ فَهَلْ أَنتُمْ شَاكِرُونَ 80
21:81 To Solomon the raging wind ran at his command to the land which We had blessed. We have knowledge of all things.
# وَلِسُلَيْمَانَ الرِّيحَ عَاصِفَةً تَجْرِي بِأَمْرِهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَتِي بَارَكْنَا فِيهَا وَكُنَّا بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَالِمِينَ 81
21:82 And some of the satans dived for him and others did work as well. We were watching over them.
# وَمِنَ الشَّيَاطِينِ مَن يَغُوصُونَ لَهُ وَيَعْمَلُونَ عَمَلاً دُونَ ذَلِكَ وَكُنَّا لَهُمْ حَافِظِينَ 82

# فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ فَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِ مِن ضُرٍّ وَآتَيْنَاهُ أَهْلَهُ وَمِثْلَهُم مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِنَا وَذِكْرَى لِلْعَابِدِينَ 84

21:87 And Thul-Nun (Prophet Jonah), he went away in anger thinking We had no power over him. But in the darkness he cried, ‘There is no god except You. Exaltations to You! I was among the harm doers.’
# وَذَا النُّونِ إِذ ذَّهَبَ مُغَاضِباً فَظَنَّ أَن لَّن نَّقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَادَى فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ أَن لاَّ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ 87
21:88 We heard his prayer and saved him from grief. As such We shall save the believers.

21:90 So We answered him, and gave him John, curing his wife (of sterility). They raced with each other in good works and called on Us out of yearning and awe, and they were humble to Us.
# فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ يَحْيَى وَأَصْلَحْنَا لَهُ زَوْجَهُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسَارِعُونُ فِي الخَيْرَاتِ وَيَدْعُونَنَا رَغَباً وَرَهَباً وَكَانُوا لَنَا خَاشِعِينَ 90

21:92 Indeed, this nation of yours is one nation, and I am Your Lord, therefore worship Me.
# إِنَّ هَذِهِ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَأَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُونِ 92
21:93 But they (the Christians and Jews) split their affair between them all shall return to Us.
# وَتَقَطَّعُوا أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ كُلٌّ إِلَيْنَا رَاجِعُونَ 93
21:94 The endeavors of he who believes and does good works shall not go unthanked. We write it down for him.

# لَوْ كَانَ هَؤُلاءِ آلِهَةً مَّا وَرَدُوهَا وَكُلٌّ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ 99
21:100 There is groaning for them therein, and they do not hear.
# لَهُمْ فِيهَا زَفِيرٌ وَهُمْ فِيهَا لاَ يَسْمَعُونَ 100
21:101 But those whom We have surpassed with the finest (rank) from Us shall be far removed from it,
# إِنَّ الَّذِينَ سَبَقَتْ لَهُم مِّنَّا الحُسْنَى أُوْلَئِكَ عَنْهَا مُبْعَدُونَ 101

# لاَ يَسْمَعُونَ حَسِيسَهَا وَهُمْ فِي مَا اشْتَهَتْ أَنفُسُهُمْ خَالِدُونَ 102
21:103 The greatest terror shall not grieve them, and the angels will receive them, ‘This is the Day you have been promised.’
# لاَ يَحْزُنُهُمُ الفَزَعُ الأَكْبَرُ وَتَتَلَقَّاهُمُ المَلائِكَةُ هَذَا يَوْمُكُمُ الَّذِي كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ 103
21:104 On that Day, We shall roll up the heaven like a written scroll is rolled. As We originated the first creation, so will We bring it back again. This is a binding promise on Us which We shall assuredly fulfill.
# يَوْمَ نَطْوِي السَّمَاءَ كَطَيِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِ كَمَا بَدَأْنَا أَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُّعِيدُهُ وَعْداً عَلَيْنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا فَاعِلِينَ 104
|@ The Psalms of David 21:105-106
21:105 We have written in the Psalms, after the Remembrance, ‘The righteous among My worshipers shall inherit the earth.’
# وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِي الزَّبُورِ مِنْ بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ أَنَّ الأَرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِيَ الصَّالِحُونَ 105
21:106 Surely, in this is a proclamation to a worshiping nation.
# إِنَّ فِي هَذَا لَبَلاغاً لِّقَوْمٍ عَابِدِينَ 106
