Al-Anbyaالأنبياء

Sahih International

[The time of] their account has approached for the people, while they are in heedlessness turning away.

Sahih International

No mention [i.e., revelation] comes to them anew from their Lord except that they listen to it while they are at play

Sahih International

With their hearts distracted. And those who do wrong conceal their private conversation, [saying], "Is this [Prophet] except a human being like you? So would you approach magic while you are aware [of it]?"

Sahih International

He [the Prophet (ﷺ)] said, "My Lord knows whatever is said throughout the heaven and earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing."

Sahih International

But they say, "[The revelation is but] a mixture of false dreams; rather, he has invented it; rather, he is a poet. So let him bring us a sign just as the previous [messengers] were sent [with miracles]."

Sahih International

Not a [single] city which We destroyed believed before them,1 so will they believe?

Sahih International

And We sent not before you, [O Muḥammad], except men to whom We revealed [the message], so ask the people of the message [i.e., former scriptures] if you do not know.

Sahih International

And We did not make them [i.e., the prophets] forms not eating food,1 nor were they immortal [on earth].

Sahih International

Then1 We fulfilled for them the promise, and We saved them and whom We willed and destroyed the transgressors.

Sahih International

We have certainly sent down to you a Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] in which is your mention.1 Then will you not reason?

Sahih International

And how many a city which was unjust1 have We shattered and produced after it another people.

Sahih International

And when they [i.e., its inhabitants] perceived Our punishment, at once they fled from it.

Sahih International

[Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes - perhaps you will be questioned."1

Sahih International

They said, "O woe to us! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

Sahih International

And that declaration of theirs did not cease until We made them [as] a harvest [mowed down], extinguished [like a fire].

Sahih International

And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play.

Sahih International

Had We intended to take a diversion,1 We could have taken it from [what is] with Us - if [indeed] We were to do so.

Sahih International

Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it,1 and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you describe.2

Sahih International

To Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those near Him [i.e., the angels] are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, nor do they tire.

Sahih International

They exalt [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken.

Sahih International

Or have they [i.e., men] taken for themselves gods from the earth who resurrect [the dead]?

Sahih International

Had there been within them [i.e., the heavens and earth] gods besides Allāh, they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allāh, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.

Sahih International

He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.

Sahih International

Or have they taken gods besides Him? Say, [O Muḥammad], "Produce your proof. This [Qur’ān] is the message for those with me and the message of those before me."1 But most of them do not know the truth, so they are turning away.

Sahih International

And We sent not before you any messenger except We revealed to him that, "There is no deity except Me, so worship Me."

Sahih International

And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken a son." Exalted is He! Rather, they1 are [but] honored servants.

Sahih International

They cannot precede Him in word, and they act by His command.

Sahih International

He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them,1 and they cannot intercede except on behalf of one whom He approves. And they, from fear of Him, are apprehensive.

Sahih International

And whoever of them should say, "Indeed, I am a god besides Him" - that one We would recompense with Hell. Thus do We recompense the wrongdoers.

Sahih International

Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and then We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?

Sahih International

And We placed within the earth firmly set mountains, lest it should shift with them, and We made therein [mountain] passes [as] roads that they might be guided.

Sahih International

And We made the sky a protected ceiling, but they, from its signs,1 are turning away.

Sahih International

And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming.

Sahih International

And We did not grant to any man before you eternity [on earth]; so if you die - would they be eternal?

Sahih International

Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned.

Sahih International

And when those who disbelieve see you, [O Muḥammad], they take you not except in ridicule, [saying], "Is this the one who mentions [i.e., insults] your gods?" And they are, at the mention of the Most Merciful, disbelievers.

Sahih International

Man was created of haste [i.e., impatience]. I will show you My signs [i.e., vengeance], so do not impatiently urge Me.

Sahih International

And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"

Sahih International

If those who disbelieved but knew the time when they will not avert the Fire from their faces or from their backs and they will not be aided...1

Sahih International

Rather, it will come to them unexpectedly and bewilder them, and they will not be able to repel it, nor will they be reprieved.

Sahih International

And already were messengers ridiculed before you, but those who mocked them were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

Sahih International

Say, "Who can protect you at night or by day from the Most Merciful?" But they are, from the remembrance of their Lord, turning away.

Sahih International

Or do they have gods to defend them other than Us? They are unable [even] to help themselves, nor can they be protected from Us.

Sahih International

But, [on the contrary], We have provided good things for these [disbelievers] and their fathers until life was prolonged for them. Then do they not see that We set upon the land, reducing it from its borders?1 Is it they who will overcome?

Sahih International

Say, "I only warn you by revelation." But the deaf do not hear the call when they are warned.

Sahih International

And if [as much as] a whiff of the punishment of your Lord should touch them, they would surely say, "O woe to us! Indeed, we have been wrongdoers."

Sahih International

And We place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be treated unjustly at all. And if there is [even] the weight of a mustard seed,1 We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountant.

Sahih International

And We had already given Moses and Aaron the criterion and a light and a reminder1 for the righteous

Sahih International

Who fear their Lord unseen,1 while they are of the Hour apprehensive.

Sahih International

And this [Qur’ān] is a blessed message which We have sent down. Then are you with it unacquainted?1

Sahih International

And We had certainly given Abraham his sound judgement before,1 and We were of him well-Knowing

Sahih International

When he said to his father and his people, "What are these statues to which you are devoted?"

Sahih International

They said, "We found our fathers worshippers of them."

Sahih International

He said, "You were certainly, you and your fathers, in manifest error."

Sahih International

They said, "Have you come to us with truth, or are you of those who jest?"

Sahih International

He said, "[No], rather, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth who created them, and I, to that, am of those who testify.

Sahih International

And [I swear] by Allāh, I will surely plan against your idols after you have turned and gone away."

Sahih International

So he made them into fragments, except a large one among them, that they might return to it [and question].

Sahih International

They said, "Who has done this to our gods? Indeed, he is of the wrongdoers."

Sahih International

They said, "We heard a young man mention them who is called Abraham."

Sahih International

They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people that they may testify."1

Sahih International

They said, "Have you done this to our gods, O Abraham?"

Sahih International

He said, "Rather, this - the largest of them - did it, so ask them, if they should [be able to] speak."

Sahih International

So they returned to [blaming] themselves and said [to each other], "Indeed, you are the wrongdoers."

Sahih International

Then they reversed themselves,1 [saying], "You have already known that these do not speak!"

Sahih International

He said, "Then do you worship instead of Allāh that which does not benefit you at all or harm you?

Sahih International

Uff1 to you and to what you worship instead of Allāh. Then will you not use reason?"

Sahih International

They said, "Burn him and support your gods - if you are to act."

Sahih International

We [i.e., Allāh] said, "O fire, be coolness and safety upon Abraham."

Sahih International

And they intended for him a plan [i.e., harm], but We made them the greatest losers.

Sahih International

And We delivered him and Lot to the land which We had blessed for the worlds [i.e., peoples].

Sahih International

And We gave him Isaac and Jacob in addition, and all [of them] We made righteous.

Sahih International

And We made them leaders guiding by Our command. And We inspired to them the doing of good deeds, establishment of prayer, and giving of zakāh; and they were worshippers of Us.

Sahih International

And to Lot We gave judgement and knowledge, and We saved him from the city that was committing wicked deeds. Indeed, they were a people of evil, defiantly disobedient.

Sahih International

And We admitted him into Our mercy. Indeed, he was of the righteous.

Sahih International

And [mention] Noah, when he called [to Allāh]1 before [that time], so We responded to him and saved him and his family from the great affliction [i.e., the flood].

Sahih International

And We aided [i.e., saved] him from the people who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a people of evil, so We drowned them, all together.

Sahih International

And [mention] David and Solomon, when they judged concerning the field - when the sheep of a people overran it [at night],1 and We were witness to their judgement.

Sahih International

And We gave understanding of it [i.e., the case] to Solomon, and to each [of them] We gave judgement and knowledge. And We subjected the mountains to exalt [Us], along with David and [also] the birds. And We were doing [that].1

Sahih International

And We taught him the fashioning of coats of armor to protect you from your [enemy in] battle. So will you then be grateful?

Sahih International

And to Solomon [We subjected] the wind, blowing forcefully, proceeding by his command toward the land which We had blessed. And We are ever, of all things, Knowing.

Sahih International

And of the devils [i.e., jinn] were those who dived for him and did work other than that. And We were of them a guardian.1

Sahih International

And [mention] Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, adversity has touched me, and You are the most merciful of the merciful."

Sahih International

So We responded to him and removed what afflicted him of adversity. And We gave him [back] his family and the like thereof with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for the worshippers [of Allāh].

Sahih International

And [mention] Ishmael and Idrees and Dhul-Kifl; all were of the patient.

Sahih International

And We admitted them into Our mercy. Indeed, they were of the righteous.

Sahih International

And [mention] the man of the fish [i.e., Jonah], when he went off in anger1 and thought that We would not decree [anything] upon him.2 And he called out within the darknesses,3 "There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers."

Sahih International

So We responded to him and saved him from the distress. And thus do We save the believers.

Sahih International

And [mention] Zechariah, when he called to his Lord, "My Lord, do not leave me alone [with no heir], while You are the best of inheritors."

Sahih International

So We responded to him, and We gave to him John, and amended for him his wife. Indeed, they used to hasten to good deeds and supplicate1 Us in hope and fear, and they were to Us humbly submissive.

Sahih International

And [mention] the one who guarded her chastity [i.e., Mary], so We blew into her [garment] through Our angel [i.e., Gabriel], and We made her and her son a sign for the worlds.

Sahih International

Indeed this, your religion, is one religion,1 and I am your Lord, so worship Me.

Sahih International

And [yet] they divided their affair [i.e., that of their religion] among themselves,1 [but] all to Us will return.

Sahih International

So whoever does righteous deeds while he is a believer - no denial will there be for his effort,1 and indeed We [i.e., Our angels], of it, are recorders.

Sahih International

And it is prohibited to [the people of] a city which We have destroyed that they will [ever] return1

Sahih International

Until when [the dam of] Gog and Magog has been opened and they, from every elevation, descend

Sahih International

And [when] the true promise [i.e., the resurrection] has approached; then suddenly the eyes of those who disbelieved will be staring [in horror, while they say], "O woe to us; we had been unmindful of this; rather, we were wrongdoers."

Sahih International

Indeed, you [disbelievers] and what you worship other than Allāh are the firewood of Hell. You will be coming to [enter] it.

Sahih International

Had these [false deities] been [actual] gods, they would not have come to it, but all are eternal therein.

Sahih International

For them therein is heavy sighing, and they therein will not hear.

Sahih International

Indeed, those for whom the best [reward] has preceded from Us - they are from it far removed.

Sahih International

They will not hear its sound, while they are, in that which their souls desire, abiding eternally.

Sahih International

They will not be grieved by the greatest terror,1 and the angels will meet them, [saying], "This is your Day which you have been promised" -

Sahih International

The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet for the records. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it.1

Sahih International

And We have already written in the book [of Psalms]1 after the [previous] mention2 that the land [of Paradise] is inherited by My righteous servants.

Sahih International

Indeed, in this [Qur’ān] is notification for a worshipping people.

Sahih International

And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.

Sahih International

Say, "It is only revealed to me that your god is but one God; so will you be Muslims [in submission to Him]?"

Sahih International

But if they turn away, then say, "I have announced to [all of] you equally.1 And I know not whether near or far is that which you are promised.

Sahih International

Indeed, He knows what is declared of speech, and He knows what you conceal.

Sahih International

And I know not; perhaps it1 is a trial for you and enjoyment for a time."

Sahih International

[The Prophet (ﷺ)] has said, "My Lord, judge [between us] in truth. And our Lord is the Most Merciful, the one whose help is sought against that which you describe."1
