Al-Hijrالحجر

Sahih International

Alif, Lām, Rā.1 These are the verses of the Book and a clear Qur’ān [i.e., recitation].

Sahih International

Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish1 that they had been Muslims.

Sahih International

Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know.

Sahih International

And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree.

Sahih International

No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter.

Sahih International

And they say, "O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad.1

Sahih International

Why do you not bring us the angels, if you should be among the truthful?"

Sahih International

We do not send down the angels except with truth;1 and they [i.e., the disbelievers] would not then be reprieved.

Sahih International

Indeed, it is We who sent down the message [i.e., the Qur’ān], and indeed, We will be its guardian.

Sahih International

And We had certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muḥammad], among the sects of the former peoples.

Sahih International

And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him.

Sahih International

Thus do We insert it [i.e., denial] into the hearts of the criminals.

Sahih International

They will not believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former peoples.

Sahih International

And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend,

Sahih International

They would say, "Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic."

Sahih International

And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.

Sahih International

And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allāh]

Sahih International

Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame.

Sahih International

And the earth - We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing.

Sahih International

And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers.1

Sahih International

And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known [i.e., specified] measure.

Sahih International

And We have sent the fertilizing winds1 and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers.

Sahih International

And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor.1

Sahih International

And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come].

Sahih International

And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing.

Sahih International

And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud.

Sahih International

And the jinn We created before from scorching fire.

Sahih International

And [mention, O Muḥammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud.

Sahih International

And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul,1 then fall down to him in prostration."

Sahih International

So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely,

Sahih International

Except Iblees;1 he refused to be with those who prostrated.

Sahih International

[Allāh] said, "O Iblees, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate?"

Sahih International

He said, "Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud."

Sahih International

[Allāh] said, "Then depart from it,1 for indeed, you are expelled.

Sahih International

And indeed, upon you is the curse until the Day of Recompense."

Sahih International

He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."

Sahih International

[Allāh] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved

Sahih International

Until the Day of the time well-known."

Sahih International

[Iblees] said, "My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make [disobedience] attractive to them [i.e., mankind] on earth, and I will mislead them all

Sahih International

Except, among them, Your chosen servants."

Sahih International

[Allāh] said, "This is a path [of return] to Me [that is] straight.

Sahih International

Indeed, My servants - no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators.

Sahih International

And indeed, Hell is the promised place for them all.

Sahih International

It has seven gates; for every gate is of them [i.e., Satan's followers] a portion designated."

Sahih International

Indeed, the righteous will be within gardens and springs,

Sahih International

[Having been told], "Enter it in peace, safe [and secure]."

Sahih International

And We will remove whatever is in their breasts of resentment,1 [so they will be] brothers, on thrones facing each other.

Sahih International

No fatigue will touch them therein, nor from it will they [ever] be removed.

Sahih International

[O Muḥammad], inform My servants that it is I who am the Forgiving, the Merciful,

Sahih International

And that it is My punishment which is the painful punishment.

Sahih International

And inform them about the guests of Abraham,

Sahih International

When they entered upon him and said, "Peace." [Abraham] said, "Indeed, we are fearful [i.e., apprehensive] of you."

Sahih International

[The angels] said, "Fear not. Indeed, we give you good tidings of a learned boy."

Sahih International

He said, "Have you given me good tidings although old age has come upon me? Then of what [wonder] do you inform?"

Sahih International

They said, "We have given you good tidings in truth, so do not be of the despairing."

Sahih International

He said, "And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?"

Sahih International

[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

Sahih International

They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals,

Sahih International

Except the family of Lot; indeed, we will save them all

Sahih International

Except his wife." We [i.e., Allāh] decreed that she is of those who remain behind.1

Sahih International

And when the messengers came to the family of Lot,

Sahih International

He said, "Indeed, you are people unknown."

Sahih International

They said, "But we have come to you with that about which they were disputing,

Sahih International

And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful.

Sahih International

So set out with your family during a portion of the night and follow behind them and let not anyone among you look back and continue on to where you are commanded."

Sahih International

And We conveyed to him [the decree] of that matter: that those [sinners] would be eliminated by early morning.

Sahih International

And the people of the city came rejoicing.1

Sahih International

[Lot] said, "Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me.

Sahih International

And fear Allāh and do not disgrace me."

Sahih International

They said, "Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?"

Sahih International

[Lot] said, "These are my daughters1 - if you would be doers [of lawful marriage]."

Sahih International

By your life, [O Muḥammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly.

Sahih International

So the shriek1 seized them at sunrise.

Sahih International

And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay.

Sahih International

Indeed in that are signs for those who discern.

Sahih International

And indeed, they [i.e., those cities] are [situated] on an established road.

Sahih International

Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.

Sahih International

And the companions of the thicket [i.e., the people of Madyan] were [also] wrongdoers,

Sahih International

So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway.

Sahih International

And certainly did the companions of al-Ḥijr1 [i.e., the Thamūd] deny the messengers.

Sahih International

And We gave them Our signs, but from them they were turning away.

Sahih International

And they used to carve from the mountains, houses, feeling secure.

Sahih International

But the shriek seized them at early morning,

Sahih International

So nothing availed them [from] what they used to earn.

Sahih International

And We have not created the heavens and earth and that between them except in truth. And indeed, the Hour is coming; so forgive with gracious forgiveness.

Sahih International

Indeed, your Lord - He is the Knowing Creator.

Sahih International

And We have certainly given you, [O Muḥammad], seven of the often repeated [verses]1 and the great Qur’ān.

Sahih International

Do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [certain] categories of them [i.e., the disbelievers], and do not grieve over them. And lower your wing [i.e., show kindness] to the believers.

Sahih International

And say, "Indeed, I am the clear warner" -

Sahih International

Just as We had revealed [scriptures] to the separators1

Sahih International

Who have made the Qur’ān into portions.1

Sahih International

So by your Lord, We will surely question them all

Sahih International

About what they used to do.

Sahih International

Then declare what you are commanded1 and turn away from the polytheists.2

Sahih International

Indeed, We are sufficient for you against the mockers

Sahih International

Who make [equal] with Allāh another deity. But they are going to know.

Sahih International

And We already know that your breast is constrained by what they say.

Sahih International

So exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate [to Him].

Sahih International

And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty [i.e., death].
