بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
الٓرۚ تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَقُرۡءَانٖ مُّبِينٖ (1) رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوۡ كَانُواْ مُسۡلِمِينَ (2) ذَرۡهُمۡ يَأۡكُلُواْ وَيَتَمَتَّعُواْ وَيُلۡهِهِمُ ٱلۡأَمَلُۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ (3) وَمَآ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ (4) مَّا تَسۡبِقُ مِنۡ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ (5) وَقَالُواْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِي نُزِّلَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلذِّكۡرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجۡنُونٞ (6) لَّوۡ مَا تَأۡتِينَا بِٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ (7) مَا نُنَزِّلُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوٓاْ إِذٗا مُّنظَرِينَ (8) إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَزَّلۡنَا ٱلذِّكۡرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ (9) وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ فِي شِيَعِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ (10) وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ (11) كَذَٰلِكَ نَسۡلُكُهُۥ فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ (12) لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ وَقَدۡ خَلَتۡ سُنَّةُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ (13) وَلَوۡ فَتَحۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم بَابٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّواْ فِيهِ يَعۡرُجُونَ (14) لَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتۡ أَبۡصَٰرُنَا بَلۡ نَحۡنُ قَوۡمٞ مَّسۡحُورُونَ (15) وَلَقَدۡ جَعَلۡنَا فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجٗا وَزَيَّنَّٰهَا لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ (16) وَحَفِظۡنَٰهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيۡطَٰنٖ رَّجِيمٍ (17) إِلَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَرَقَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٞ مُّبِينٞ (18) وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَدَدۡنَٰهَا وَأَلۡقَيۡنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ مَّوۡزُونٖ (19) وَجَعَلۡنَا لَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَعَٰيِشَ وَمَن لَّسۡتُمۡ لَهُۥ بِرَٰزِقِينَ (20) وَإِن مِّن شَيۡءٍ إِلَّا عِندَنَا خَزَآئِنُهُۥ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ (21) وَأَرۡسَلۡنَا ٱلرِّيَٰحَ لَوَٰقِحَ فَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَأَسۡقَيۡنَٰكُمُوهُ وَمَآ أَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ بِخَٰزِنِينَ (22) وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ نُحۡيِۦ وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡوَٰرِثُونَ (23) وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا ٱلۡمُسۡتَقۡدِمِينَ مِنكُمۡ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا ٱلۡمُسۡتَـٔۡخِرِينَ (24) وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحۡشُرُهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٞ (25) وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِن صَلۡصَٰلٖ مِّنۡ حَمَإٖ مَّسۡنُونٖ (26) وَٱلۡجَآنَّ خَلَقۡنَٰهُ مِن قَبۡلُ مِن نَّارِ ٱلسَّمُومِ (27) وَإِذۡ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّي خَٰلِقُۢ بَشَرٗا مِّن صَلۡصَٰلٖ مِّنۡ حَمَإٖ مَّسۡنُونٖ (28) فَإِذَا سَوَّيۡتُهُۥ وَنَفَخۡتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُواْ لَهُۥ سَٰجِدِينَ (29) فَسَجَدَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعُونَ (30) إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ أَبَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ (31) قَالَ يَٰٓإِبۡلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ (32) قَالَ لَمۡ أَكُن لِّأَسۡجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقۡتَهُۥ مِن صَلۡصَٰلٖ مِّنۡ حَمَإٖ مَّسۡنُونٖ (33) قَالَ فَٱخۡرُجۡ مِنۡهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٞ (34) وَإِنَّ عَلَيۡكَ ٱللَّعۡنَةَ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ (35) قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرۡنِيٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ (36) قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنظَرِينَ (37) إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡوَقۡتِ ٱلۡمَعۡلُومِ (38) قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَغۡوَيۡتَنِي لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَأُغۡوِيَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ (39) إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنۡهُمُ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ (40) قَالَ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ عَلَيَّ مُسۡتَقِيمٌ (41) إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيۡسَ لَكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٌ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡغَاوِينَ (42) وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوۡعِدُهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ (43) لَهَا سَبۡعَةُ أَبۡوَٰبٖ لِّكُلِّ بَابٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ جُزۡءٞ مَّقۡسُومٌ (44) إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٍ (45) ٱدۡخُلُوهَا بِسَلَٰمٍ ءَامِنِينَ (46) وَنَزَعۡنَا مَا فِي صُدُورِهِم مِّنۡ غِلٍّ إِخۡوَٰنًا عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ (47) لَا يَمَسُّهُمۡ فِيهَا نَصَبٞ وَمَا هُم مِّنۡهَا بِمُخۡرَجِينَ (48) ۞نَبِّئۡ عِبَادِيٓ أَنِّيٓ أَنَا ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ (49) وَأَنَّ عَذَابِي هُوَ ٱلۡعَذَابُ ٱلۡأَلِيمُ (50) وَنَبِّئۡهُمۡ عَن ضَيۡفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ (51) إِذۡ دَخَلُواْ عَلَيۡهِ فَقَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗا قَالَ إِنَّا مِنكُمۡ وَجِلُونَ (52) قَالُواْ لَا تَوۡجَلۡ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَٰمٍ عَلِيمٖ (53) قَالَ أَبَشَّرۡتُمُونِي عَلَىٰٓ أَن مَّسَّنِيَ ٱلۡكِبَرُ فَبِمَ تُبَشِّرُونَ (54) قَالُواْ بَشَّرۡنَٰكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ فَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡقَٰنِطِينَ (55) قَالَ وَمَن يَقۡنَطُ مِن رَّحۡمَةِ رَبِّهِۦٓ إِلَّا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ (56) قَالَ فَمَا

لَمِنَ ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ (60) فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ءَالَ لُوطٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ (61) قَالَ إِنَّكُمۡ قَوۡمٞ مُّنكَرُونَ (62) قَالُواْ بَلۡ جِئۡنَٰكَ بِمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَمۡتَرُونَ (63) وَأَتَيۡنَٰكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَإِنَّا لَصَٰدِقُونَ (64) فَأَسۡرِ بِأَهۡلِكَ بِقِطۡعٖ مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱتَّبِعۡ أَدۡبَٰرَهُمۡ وَلَا يَلۡتَفِتۡ مِنكُمۡ أَحَدٞ وَٱمۡضُواْ حَيۡثُ تُؤۡمَرُونَ (65) وَقَضَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡأَمۡرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مَقۡطُوعٞ مُّصۡبِحِينَ (66) وَجَآءَ أَهۡلُ ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ يَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ (67) قَالَ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ضَيۡفِي فَلَا تَفۡضَحُونِ (68) وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا

English Translation
chapter 15 surah al-Hijr the Rock
In the name of God, the Gracious,
the Merciful.
1. Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the Verses of the Book; a
Quran that makes things clear.
2. Perhaps those who disbelieve will
wish they had been Muslims.
3. Leave them to eat, and enjoy, and be
lulled by hope. They will find out.
4. We have never destroyed a
town unless it had a set time.
5. No nation can bring its time
forward, nor can they delay it.
6. And they said, “O you who
received the message, you are insane.”
7. Why do you not bring us
the angels, if you are truthful?”
8. We do not send the angels down
except with reason, and they will not be held back.
9. Surely We
revealed the Message, and We will surely preserve it.
10. We sent
others before you, to the former communities.
11. But no messenger
came to them, but they ridiculed him.
12. Thus We slip it into the
hearts of the guilty.
13. They do not believe in it, though the
ways of the ancients have passed away.
14. Even if We opened for
them a gateway into the sky, and they began to ascend through it.
15.
They would still say, “Our eyes are hallucinating; in fact, we are people
bewitched.”
16. We placed constellations in the sky, and made them
beautiful to the beholders.
17. And We guarded them from every
outcast devil.
18. Except one who steals a hearing, and is followed
by a visible projectile.
19. We spread the earth, and placed
stabilizers in it, and in it We grew all things in proper measure.
20.
And in it We created livelihoods for you, and for those for whom you are not
the providers.
21. There is not a thing but with Us are its stores,
and We send it down only in precise measure.
22. We send the
fertilizing winds; and send down water from the sky, and give it to you to
drink, and you are not the ones who store it.
23. It is We who give
life and cause death, and We are the Inheritors.
24. And We know
those of you who go forward, and We know those who lag behind.
25.
It is your Lord who will gather them together. He is the Wise, the Knowing.
26.
We created the human being from clay, from molded mud.
27. And the
jinn We created before, from piercing fire.
28. Your Lord said to
the angels, “I am creating a human being from clay, from molded mud.”
29.
“When I have formed him, and breathed into him of My spirit, fall down
prostrating before him.”
30. So the angels prostrated themselves,
all together.
31. Except for Satan. He refused to be among those
who prostrated themselves.
32. He said, “O Satan, what kept you
from being among those who prostrated themselves?”
33. He said, “I
am not about to prostrate myself before a human being, whom You created from
clay, from molded mud.”
34. He said, “Then get out of here, for you
are an outcast”.
35. “And the curse will be upon you until the Day
of Judgment.”
36. He said, “My Lord, reprieve me until the Day they
are resurrected.”
37. He said, “You are of those reprieved.”
38.
“Until the Day of the time appointed.”
39. He said, “My Lord, since
You have lured me away, I will glamorize for them on earth, and I will lure
them all away.”
40. “Except for Your sincere servants among
them.”
41. He said, “This is a right way with Me.”
42.
“Over My servants you have no authority, except for the sinners who follow
you.”
43. And Hell is the meeting-place for them all.
44.
“It has seven doors; for each door is an assigned class.”
45. But
the righteous will be in gardens with springs.
46. “Enter it in
peace and security.”
47. And We will remove all ill-feelings from
their hearts—brothers and sisters, on couches facing one another.
48.
No fatigue will ever touch them therein, nor will they be asked to leave
it.
49. Inform My servants that I am the Forgiver, the Merciful.
50.
And that My punishment is the painful punishment.
51. And inform
them of the guests of Abraham.
52. When they entered upon him, and
said, “Peace.” He said, “We are wary of you.”
53. They said, “Do
not fear; we bring you good news of a boy endowed with knowledge.”
54.
He said, “Do you bring me good news, when old age has overtaken me? What good
news do you bring?”
55. They said, “We bring you good news in
truth, so do not despair.”
56. He said, “And who despairs of his
Lord’s mercy but the lost?”
57. He said, “So what is your business,
O envoys?”
58. They said, “We were sent to a sinful people.”
59.
“Except for the family of Lot; we will save them all.”
60. “Except
for his wife.” We have determined that she will be of those who lag behind.
61.
And when the envoys came to the family of Lot.
62. He said, “You
are a people unknown to me.”
63. They said, “We bring you what they
have doubts about.”
64. “We bring you the truth, and we are
truthful.”
65. “Travel with your family at the dead of the night,
and follow up behind them, and let none of you look back, and proceed as
commanded.”
66. And We informed him of Our decree: the last remnant
of these will be uprooted by early morning.
67. And the people of
the town came joyfully.
68. He said, “These are my guests, so do
not embarrass me.”
69. “And fear God, and do not disgrace me.”
70.
They said, “Did we not forbid you from strangers?”
71. He said,
“These are my daughters, if you must.”
72. By your life, they were
blundering in their drunkenness.
73. So the Blast struck them at
sunrise.
74. And We turned it upside down, and rained down upon
them stones of baked clay.
75. Surely in that are lessons for those
who read signs.
76. And it is on an existing road.
77.
Surely in that is a sign for the believers.
78. The people of the
Woods were also wrongdoers.
79. So We took revenge upon them. Both
are clearly documented.
80. The people of the Rock also rejected
the messengers.
81. We gave them Our revelations, but they turned
away from them.
82. They used to carve homes in the mountains,
feeling secure.
83. But the Blast struck them in the morning.
84.
All they had acquired was of no avail to them.
85. We did not
create the heavens and the earth, and what lies between them, except with
truth. The Hour is coming, so forgive with gracious forgiveness.
86.
Your Lord is the All-Knowing Creator.
87. We have given you seven
of the pairs, and the Grand Quran.
88. Do not extend your eyes
towards what We have bestowed on some couples of them to enjoy, and do not
grieve over them, and lower your wing to the believers.
89. And
say, “I am the clear warner.”
90. Just as We sent down to the
separatists.
91. Those who made the Quran obsolete.
92.
By your Lord, we will question them all.
93. About what they used
to do.
94. So proclaim openly what you are commanded, and turn away
from the polytheists.
95. We are enough for you against the
mockers.
96. Those who set up another god with God. They will come
to know.
97. We are aware that your heart is strained by what they
say.
98. So glorify the praise of your Lord, and be among those who
bow down.
99. And worship your Lord in order to attain certainty.[]
