Quran with English TranslationSurah Al Mu'minunTranslator Abdullah Yusuf Ali |
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
1 |
The Believers must (eventually) win through -- |
2 |
Those who humble themselves in their prayers; |
3 |
Who avoid vain talk; |
4 |
Who are active in deeds of charity; |
5 |
Who abstain from sex, |
6 |
Except with those joined to them in the marriage bond,
|
7 |
But those whose desires exceed those limits are transgressors -- |
8 |
Those who faithfully observe their trust and their covenants; |
9 |
And who (strictly) guard their prayers -- |
10 |
Those will be the heirs, |
11 |
Who will inherit Paradise: they will dwell therein (forever). |
12 |
Man We did create from a quintessence (of clay); |
13 |
Then We placed him as (a drop of) sperm in a place of rest, firmly fixed; |
14 |
Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood;
|
15 |
After that, at length, ye will die. |
16 |
Again, on the Day of Judgment, will ye be raised up. |
17 |
And We have made, above you, seven tracts; and We are never unmindful of (Our) Creation. |
18 |
And We send down water from the sky according to (due) measure, and We cause it to soak in the soil; and We certainly are able to drain it off (with ease). |
19 |
With it We grow for you gardens of date-palms and vines: in them have ye abundant fruits: and of them ye eat (and have enjoyment) -- |
20 |
Also a tree springing out of Mount Sinai, which produces oil, and relish for those who use it for food. |
21 |
And in cattle (too) ye have an instructive example:
|
22 |
And on them, as well as in ships, ye ride. |
23 |
(Further, We sent a long line of prophets for your instruction.)
|
24 |
The chiefs of the Unbelievers among his people said:
|
25 |
(And some said:) "He is only a man possessed: wait (and have patience) with him for a time." |
26 |
(Noah) said: "O my Lord! help me: for that they accuse me of falsehood!" |
27 |
So We inspired him (with this message):
|
28 |
And when thou hast embarked on the Ark -- thou and those with thee -- say:
|
29 |
And say: |
30 |
Verily in this there are Signs (for men to understand); (thus) do We try (men). |
31 |
Then We raised after them another generation; |
32 |
And We sent to them a Messenger from among themselves, (saying),
|
33 |
And the chiefs of his people, who disbelieved and denied the Meeting in the Hereafter, and on whom We had bestowed the good things of this life, said:
|
34 |
"If ye obey a man like yourselves, behold, it is certain ye will be lost. |
35 |
"Does he promise that when ye die and become dust and bones, ye shall be brought forth (again)? |
36 |
"Far, very far is that which ye are promised! |
37 |
"There is nothing but our life in this world! We shall die and we live! But we shall never be raised up again! |
38 |
"He is only a man who invents a lie against Allah, but we are not the ones to believe in him!" |
39 |
(The prophet) said: "O my Lord! help me: for that they accuse me of falsehood." |
40 |
(Allah) said: "In but a little while, they are sure to be sorry!" |
41 |
Then the Blast overtook them with justice, and We made them as rubbish of dead leaves (floating on the stream of Time)! So away with the people who do wrong! |
42 |
Then We raised after them other generations. |
43 |
No people can hasten their term, nor can they delay (it). |
44 |
Then sent We Our Messengers in succession:
|
45 |
Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron, with Our Signs and authority manifest, |
46 |
To Pharaoh and his Chiefs: but these behaved insolently: they were arrogant people. |
47 |
They said: "Shall we believe in two men like ourselves? And their people are subject to us!" |
48 |
So they accused them of falsehood, and they became of those who were destroyed. |
49 |
And We gave Moses the Book, in order that they might receive guidance. |
50 |
And We made the son of Mary and his mother as a Sign:
|
51 |
O ye Messengers! |
52 |
And verily this Brotherhood of yours is a single Brotherhood, and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore fear Me (and no other). |
53 |
But people have cut off their affair (of unity), between them, into sects: each party rejoices in that which is with itself. |
54 |
But leave them in their confused ignorance for a time. |
55 |
Do they think that because We have granted them abundance of wealth and sons, |
56 |
We would hasten them on in every good? Nay, they do not understand. |
57 |
Verily those who live in awe for fear of their Lord; |
58 |
Those who believe in the Signs of their Lord; |
59 |
Those who join not (in worship) partners with their Lord; |
60 |
And those who dispense their charity with their hearts full of fear, because they will return to their Lord -- |
61 |
It is these who hasten in every good work, and these who are foremost in them. |
62 |
On no soul do We place a burden greater than it can bear:
|
63 |
But their hearts are in confused ignorance of this;
|
64 |
Until, when We seize in Punishment those of them who received the good things of this world, behold, they will groan in supplication! |
65 |
It will be said: |
66 |
"My Signs used to be rehearsed to you, but ye used to turn back on your heels -- |
67 |
"In arrogance: talking nonsense about the (Qur'án), like one telling fables by night." |
68 |
Do they not ponder over the Word (of Allah), or has anything (new) come to them that did not come to their fathers of old? |
69 |
Or do they not recognize their Messenger, that they deny him? |
70 |
Or do they say, "He is possessed"? |
71 |
If the Truth had been in accord with their desires, truly the heavens and the earth, and all beings therein would have been in confusion and corruption!
|
72 |
Or is it that thou askest them for some recompense?
|
73 |
But verily thou callest them to the Straight Way; |
74 |
And verily those who believe not in the Hereafter are deviating from that Way. |
75 |
If We had mercy on them and removed the distress which is on them, they would obstinately persist in their transgression, wandering in distraction to and fro. |
76 |
We inflicted Punishment on them, but they humbled not themselves to their Lord, nor do they submissively entreat (Him)! -- |
77 |
Until We open on them a gate leading to a severe Punishment: then Lo! they will be plunged in despair therein! |
78 |
It is He Who has created for you (the faculties of) hearing, sight, feeling and understanding: little thanks it is ye give! |
79 |
And He has multiplied you through the earth, and to Him shall ye be gathered back. |
80 |
It is He Who gives life and death, and to Him (is due) the alternation of Night and Day:
|
81 |
On the contrary they say things similar to what the ancients said. |
82 |
They say: |
83 |
"Such things have been promised to us and to our fathers before! They are nothing but tales of the ancients!" |
84 |
Say: "To whom belong the earth and all beings therein?
|
85 |
They will say, "To Allah!" |
86 |
Say: "Who is the Lord of the seven heavens, and the Lord of the Throne (of Glory) Supreme?" |
87 |
They will say, "(They belong) to Allah."
|
88 |
Say: "Who is it in whose hands is the governance of all things -- who protects (all), but is not protected (of any)?
|
89 |
They will say, "(It belongs) to Allah."
|
90 |
We have sent them the Truth: but they indeed practice Falsehood! |
91 |
No son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with Him:
|
92 |
He knows what is hidden and what is open: too high is He for the partners they attribute to Him! |
93 |
Say: |
94 |
"Then, O my Lord! put me not amongst the people who do wrong!" |
95 |
And We are certainly able to show thee (in fulfillment) that against which they are warned. |
96 |
Repel evil with that which is best: |
97 |
And say: |
98 |
"And I seek refuge with Thee, O my Lord! lest they should come near me." |
99 |
(In Falsehood will they be) until, when death comes to one of them, he says:
|
100 |
"In order that I may work righteousness in the things I neglected." --
|
101 |
Then when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no more relationships between them that day, nor will one ask after another! |
102 |
Then those whose balance (of good deeds) is heavy -- they will attain salvation: |
103 |
But those whose balance is light, will be those who have lost their souls; in Hell will they abide. |
104 |
The Fire will burn their faces, and they will therein grin, with their lips displaced. |
105 |
"Were not My Signs rehearsed to you, and ye did but treat them as falsehoods?" |
106 |
They will say: |
107 |
"Our Lord! bring us out of this: if ever we return (to evil), then shall we be wrongdoers indeed!" |
108 |
He will say: "Be ye driven into it (with ignominy)! and speak ye not to Me! |
109 |
"A part of My servants there was, who used to pray,
|
110 |
"But ye treated them with ridicule, so much so that (ridicule of) them made you forget My Message while ye were laughing at them! |
111 |
"I have rewarded them this day for their patience and constancy: they are indeed the ones that have achieved Bliss..." |
112 |
He will say: "What number of years did ye stay on earth?" |
113 |
They will say: "We stayed a day or part of a day: but ask those who keep account." |
114 |
He will say: "Ye stayed not but a little -- if ye had only known! |
115 |
"Did ye then think that We had created you in jest, and that ye would not be brought back to Us (for account)?" |
116 |
Therefore exalted be Allah, the King, the Reality; there is no god but He, the Lord of the Throne of Honor! |
117 |
If anyone invokes, besides Allah, any other god, he has no authority therefor; and his reckoning will be only with his Lord!
|
118 |
So say: |
