The Believers

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

23:1Juz 18 • Page 342

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ قَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ﴿١﴾

Certainly will the believers have succeeded:

23:2Juz 18 • Page 342

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى صَلَاتِهِمْ خَٰشِعُونَ﴿٢﴾

They who are during their prayer humbly submissive

23:3Juz 18 • Page 342

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ ٱللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ﴿٣﴾

And they who turn away from ill speech

23:4Juz 18 • Page 342

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكَوٰةِ فَٰعِلُونَ﴿٤﴾

And they who are observant of zakah

23:5Juz 18 • Page 342

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَٰفِظُونَ﴿٥﴾

And they who guard their private parts

23:6Juz 18 • Page 342

إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ﴿٦﴾

Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed -

23:7Juz 18 • Page 342

فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ﴿٧﴾

But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -

23:8Juz 18 • Page 342

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ﴿٨﴾

And they who are to their trusts and their promises attentive

23:9Juz 18 • Page 342

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَٰتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ﴿٩﴾

And they who carefully maintain their prayers -

23:10Juz 18 • Page 342

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْوَٰرِثُونَ﴿١٠﴾

Those are the inheritors

23:11Juz 18 • Page 342

ٱلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ﴿١١﴾

Who will inherit al-Firdaus. They will abide therein eternally.

23:12Juz 18 • Page 342

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِن سُلَٰلَةٍۢ مِّن طِينٍۢ﴿١٢﴾

And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay.

23:13Juz 18 • Page 342

ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَٰهُ نُطْفَةًۭ فِى قَرَارٍۢ مَّكِينٍۢ﴿١٣﴾

Then We placed him as a sperm-drop in a firm lodging.

23:14Juz 18 • Page 342

ثُمَّ خَلَقْنَا ٱلنُّطْفَةَ عَلَقَةًۭ فَخَلَقْنَا ٱلْعَلَقَةَ مُضْغَةًۭ فَخَلَقْنَا ٱلْمُضْغَةَ عِظَٰمًۭا فَكَسَوْنَا ٱلْعِظَٰمَ لَحْمًۭا ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَٰهُ خَلْقًا ءَاخَرَ ۚ فَتَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ﴿١٤﴾

Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators.

23:15Juz 18 • Page 342

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُم بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَيِّتُونَ﴿١٥﴾

Then indeed, after that you are to die.

23:16Juz 18 • Page 342

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ تُبْعَثُونَ﴿١٦﴾

Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, will be resurrected.

23:17Juz 18 • Page 342

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعَ طَرَآئِقَ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ ٱلْخَلْقِ غَٰفِلِينَ﴿١٧﴾

And We have created above you seven layered heavens, and never have We been of [Our] creation unaware.

23:18Juz 18 • Page 343

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۢ بِقَدَرٍۢ فَأَسْكَنَّٰهُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ ذَهَابٍۭ بِهِۦ لَقَٰدِرُونَ﴿١٨﴾

And We have sent down rain from the sky in a measured amount and settled it in the earth. And indeed, We are Able to take it away.

23:19Juz 18 • Page 343

فَأَنشَأْنَا لَكُم بِهِۦ جَنَّٰتٍۢ مِّن نَّخِيلٍۢ وَأَعْنَٰبٍۢ لَّكُمْ فِيهَا فَوَٰكِهُ كَثِيرَةٌۭ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ﴿١٩﴾

And We brought forth for you thereby gardens of palm trees and grapevines in which for you are abundant fruits and from which you eat.

23:20Juz 18 • Page 343

وَشَجَرَةًۭ تَخْرُجُ مِن طُورِ سَيْنَآءَ تَنۢبُتُ بِٱلدُّهْنِ وَصِبْغٍۢ لِّلْءَاكِلِينَ﴿٢٠﴾

And [We brought forth] a tree issuing from Mount Sinai which produces oil and food for those who eat.

23:21Juz 18 • Page 343

وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ لَعِبْرَةًۭ ۖ نُّسْقِيكُم مِّمَّا فِى بُطُونِهَا وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَٰفِعُ كَثِيرَةٌۭ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ﴿٢١﴾

And indeed, for you in livestock is a lesson. We give you drink from that which is in their bellies, and for you in them are numerous benefits, and from them you eat.

23:22Juz 18 • Page 343

وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُونَ﴿٢٢﴾

And upon them and on ships you are carried.

23:23Juz 18 • Page 343

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ فَقَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥٓ ۖ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ﴿٢٣﴾

And We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"

23:24Juz 18 • Page 343

فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَؤُا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٌۭ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُرِيدُ أَن يَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَأَنزَلَ مَلَٰٓئِكَةًۭ مَّا سَمِعْنَا بِهَٰذَا فِىٓ ءَابَآئِنَا ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ﴿٢٤﴾

But the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, "This is not but a man like yourselves who wishes to take precedence over you; and if Allah had willed [to send a messenger], He would have sent down angels. We have not heard of this among our forefathers.

23:25Juz 18 • Page 343

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌۢ بِهِۦ جِنَّةٌۭ فَتَرَبَّصُوا۟ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ﴿٢٥﴾

He is not but a man possessed with madness, so wait concerning him for a time."

23:26Juz 18 • Page 343

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱنصُرْنِى بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ﴿٢٦﴾

[Noah] said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me."

23:27Juz 18 • Page 343

فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ أَنِ ٱصْنَعِ ٱلْفُلْكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ ٱلتَّنُّورُ ۙ فَٱسْلُكْ فِيهَا مِن كُلٍّۢ زَوْجَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْقَوْلُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَلَا تُخَٰطِبْنِى فِى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ ۖ إِنَّهُم مُّغْرَقُونَ﴿٢٧﴾

So We inspired to him, "Construct the ship under Our observation, and Our inspiration, and when Our command comes and the oven overflows, put into the ship from each [creature] two mates and your family, except those for whom the decree [of destruction] has proceeded. And do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are to be drowned.

23:28Juz 18 • Page 344

فَإِذَا ٱسْتَوَيْتَ أَنتَ وَمَن مَّعَكَ عَلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ فَقُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى نَجَّىٰنَا مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ﴿٢٨﴾

And when you have boarded the ship, you and those with you, then say, 'Praise to Allah who has saved us from the wrongdoing people.'

23:29Juz 18 • Page 344

وَقُل رَّبِّ أَنزِلْنِى مُنزَلًۭا مُّبَارَكًۭا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْمُنزِلِينَ﴿٢٩﴾

And say, 'My Lord, let me land at a blessed landing place, and You are the best to accommodate [us].' "

23:30Juz 18 • Page 344

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍۢ وَإِن كُنَّا لَمُبْتَلِينَ﴿٣٠﴾

Indeed in that are signs, and indeed, We are ever testing [Our servants].

23:31Juz 18 • Page 344

ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْنًا ءَاخَرِينَ﴿٣١﴾

Then We produced after them a generation of others.

23:32Juz 18 • Page 344

فَأَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِمْ رَسُولًۭا مِّنْهُمْ أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥٓ ۖ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ﴿٣٢﴾

And We sent among them a messenger from themselves, [saying], "Worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"

23:33Juz 18 • Page 344

وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِلِقَآءِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَأَتْرَفْنَٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٌۭ مِّثْلُكُمْ يَأْكُلُ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهُ وَيَشْرَبُ مِمَّا تَشْرَبُونَ﴿٣٣﴾

And the eminent among his people who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter while We had given them luxury in the worldly life said, "This is not but a man like yourselves. He eats of that from which you eat and drinks of what you drink.

23:34Juz 18 • Page 344

وَلَئِنْ أَطَعْتُم بَشَرًۭا مِّثْلَكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ إِذًۭا لَّخَٰسِرُونَ﴿٣٤﴾

And if you should obey a man like yourselves, indeed, you would then be losers.

23:35Juz 18 • Page 344

أَيَعِدُكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ إِذَا مِتُّمْ وَكُنتُمْ تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَنَّكُم مُّخْرَجُونَ﴿٣٥﴾

Does he promise you that when you have died and become dust and bones that you will be brought forth [once more]?

23:36Juz 18 • Page 344

۞ هَيْهَاتَ هَيْهَاتَ لِمَا تُوعَدُونَ﴿٣٦﴾

How far, how far, is that which you are promised.

23:37Juz 18 • Page 344

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا ٱلدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوثِينَ﴿٣٧﴾

Life is not but our worldly life - we die and live, but we will not be resurrected.

23:38Juz 18 • Page 344

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًۭا وَمَا نَحْنُ لَهُۥ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ﴿٣٨﴾

He is not but a man who has invented a lie about Allah, and we will not believe him."

23:39Juz 18 • Page 344

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱنصُرْنِى بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ﴿٣٩﴾

He said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me."

23:40Juz 18 • Page 344

قَالَ عَمَّا قَلِيلٍۢ لَّيُصْبِحُنَّ نَٰدِمِينَ﴿٤٠﴾

[Allah] said, "After a little, they will surely become regretful."

23:41Juz 18 • Page 344

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ بِٱلْحَقِّ فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمْ غُثَآءًۭ ۚ فَبُعْدًۭا لِّلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ﴿٤١﴾

So the shriek seized them in truth, and We made them as [plant] stubble. Then away with the wrongdoing people.

23:42Juz 18 • Page 344

ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ قُرُونًا ءَاخَرِينَ﴿٤٢﴾

Then We produced after them other generations.

23:43Juz 18 • Page 345

مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ﴿٤٣﴾

No nation will precede its time [of termination], nor will they remain [thereafter].

23:44Juz 18 • Page 345

ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَا ۖ كُلَّ مَا جَآءَ أُمَّةًۭ رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُ ۚ فَأَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُم بَعْضًۭا وَجَعَلْنَٰهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ ۚ فَبُعْدًۭا لِّقَوْمٍۢ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ﴿٤٤﴾

Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation its messenger, they denied him, so We made them follow one another [to destruction], and We made them narrations. So away with a people who do not believe.

23:45Juz 18 • Page 345

ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَأَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍ﴿٤٥﴾

Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our signs and a clear authority

23:46Juz 18 • Page 345

إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا عَالِينَ﴿٤٦﴾

To Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were arrogant and were a haughty people.

23:47Juz 18 • Page 345

فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لِبَشَرَيْنِ مِثْلِنَا وَقَوْمُهُمَا لَنَا عَٰبِدُونَ﴿٤٧﴾

They said, "Should we believe two men like ourselves while their people are for us in servitude?"

23:48Juz 18 • Page 345

فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَكَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُهْلَكِينَ﴿٤٨﴾

So they denied them and were of those destroyed.

23:49Juz 18 • Page 345

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَٰبَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ﴿٤٩﴾

And We certainly gave Moses the Scripture that perhaps they would be guided.

23:50Juz 18 • Page 345

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمَّهُۥٓ ءَايَةًۭ وَءَاوَيْنَٰهُمَآ إِلَىٰ رَبْوَةٍۢ ذَاتِ قَرَارٍۢ وَمَعِينٍۢ﴿٥٠﴾

And We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign and sheltered them within a high ground having level [areas] and flowing water.

23:51Juz 18 • Page 345

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرُّسُلُ كُلُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ وَٱعْمَلُوا۟ صَٰلِحًا ۖ إِنِّى بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌۭ﴿٥١﴾

[Allah said], "O messengers, eat from the good foods and work righteousness. Indeed, I, of what you do, am Knowing.

23:52Juz 18 • Page 345

وَإِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦٓ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ وَأَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمْ فَٱتَّقُونِ﴿٥٢﴾

And indeed this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so fear Me."

23:53Juz 18 • Page 345

فَتَقَطَّعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ زُبُرًۭا ۖ كُلُّ حِزْبٍۭ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ﴿٥٣﴾

But the people divided their religion among them into sects - each faction, in what it has, rejoicing.

23:54Juz 18 • Page 345

فَذَرْهُمْ فِى غَمْرَتِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ﴿٥٤﴾

So leave them in their confusion for a time.

23:55Juz 18 • Page 345

أَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّمَا نُمِدُّهُم بِهِۦ مِن مَّالٍۢ وَبَنِينَ﴿٥٥﴾

Do they think that what We extend to them of wealth and children

23:56Juz 18 • Page 345

نُسَارِعُ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ ۚ بَل لَّا يَشْعُرُونَ﴿٥٦﴾

Is [because] We hasten for them good things? Rather, they do not perceive.

23:57Juz 18 • Page 345

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ﴿٥٧﴾

Indeed, they who are apprehensive from fear of their Lord

23:58Juz 18 • Page 345

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ﴿٥٨﴾

And they who believe in the signs of their Lord

23:59Juz 18 • Page 345

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِرَبِّهِمْ لَا يُشْرِكُونَ﴿٥٩﴾

And they who do not associate anything with their Lord

23:60Juz 18 • Page 346

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَآ ءَاتَوا۟ وَّقُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ رَٰجِعُونَ﴿٦٠﴾

And they who give what they give while their hearts are fearful because they will be returning to their Lord -

23:61Juz 18 • Page 346

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِى ٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ وَهُمْ لَهَا سَٰبِقُونَ﴿٦١﴾

It is those who hasten to good deeds, and they outstrip [others] therein.

23:62Juz 18 • Page 346

وَلَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۖ وَلَدَيْنَا كِتَٰبٌۭ يَنطِقُ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ﴿٦٢﴾

And We charge no soul except [with that within] its capacity, and with Us is a record which speaks with truth; and they will not be wronged.

23:63Juz 18 • Page 346

بَلْ قُلُوبُهُمْ فِى غَمْرَةٍۢ مِّنْ هَٰذَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْمَٰلٌۭ مِّن دُونِ ذَٰلِكَ هُمْ لَهَا عَٰمِلُونَ﴿٦٣﴾

But their hearts are covered with confusion over this, and they have [evil] deeds besides disbelief which they are doing,

23:64Juz 18 • Page 346

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَخَذْنَا مُتْرَفِيهِم بِٱلْعَذَابِ إِذَا هُمْ يَجْـَٔرُونَ﴿٦٤﴾

Until when We seize their affluent ones with punishment, at once they are crying [to Allah] for help.

23:65Juz 18 • Page 346

لَا تَجْـَٔرُوا۟ ٱلْيَوْمَ ۖ إِنَّكُم مِّنَّا لَا تُنصَرُونَ﴿٦٥﴾

Do not cry out today. Indeed, by Us you will not be helped.

23:66Juz 18 • Page 346

قَدْ كَانَتْ ءَايَٰتِى تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنتُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَعْقَٰبِكُمْ تَنكِصُونَ﴿٦٦﴾

My verses had already been recited to you, but you were turning back on your heels

23:67Juz 18 • Page 346

مُسْتَكْبِرِينَ بِهِۦ سَٰمِرًۭا تَهْجُرُونَ﴿٦٧﴾

In arrogance regarding it, conversing by night, speaking evil.

23:68Juz 18 • Page 346

أَفَلَمْ يَدَّبَّرُوا۟ ٱلْقَوْلَ أَمْ جَآءَهُم مَّا لَمْ يَأْتِ ءَابَآءَهُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ﴿٦٨﴾

Then have they not reflected over the Qur'an, or has there come to them that which had not come to their forefathers?

23:69Juz 18 • Page 346

أَمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا۟ رَسُولَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَهُۥ مُنكِرُونَ﴿٦٩﴾

Or did they not know their Messenger, so they are toward him disacknowledging?

23:70Juz 18 • Page 346

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ بِهِۦ جِنَّةٌۢ ۚ بَلْ جَآءَهُم بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كَٰرِهُونَ﴿٧٠﴾

Or do they say, "In him is madness?" Rather, he brought them the truth, but most of them, to the truth, are averse.

23:71Juz 18 • Page 346

وَلَوِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلْحَقُّ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ بَلْ أَتَيْنَٰهُم بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَن ذِكْرِهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ﴿٧١﴾

But if the Truth had followed their inclinations, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been ruined. Rather, We have brought them their message, but they, from their message, are turning away.

23:72Juz 18 • Page 346

أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ خَرْجًۭا فَخَرَاجُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌۭ ۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ﴿٧٢﴾

Or do you, [O Muhammad], ask them for payment? But the reward of your Lord is best, and He is the best of providers.

23:73Juz 18 • Page 346

وَإِنَّكَ لَتَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍۢ مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ﴿٧٣﴾

And indeed, you invite them to a straight path.

23:74Juz 18 • Page 346

وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ عَنِ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ لَنَٰكِبُونَ﴿٧٤﴾

But indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are deviating from the path.

23:75Juz 18 • Page 347

۞ وَلَوْ رَحِمْنَٰهُمْ وَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِم مِّن ضُرٍّۢ لَّلَجُّوا۟ فِى طُغْيَٰنِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ﴿٧٥﴾

And even if We gave them mercy and removed what was upon them of affliction, they would persist in their transgression, wandering blindly.

23:76Juz 18 • Page 347

وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَٰهُم بِٱلْعَذَابِ فَمَا ٱسْتَكَانُوا۟ لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ﴿٧٦﴾

And We had gripped them with suffering [as a warning], but they did not yield to their Lord, nor did they humbly supplicate, [and will continue thus]

23:77Juz 18 • Page 347

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًۭا ذَا عَذَابٍۢ شَدِيدٍ إِذَا هُمْ فِيهِ مُبْلِسُونَ﴿٧٧﴾

Until when We have opened before them a door of severe punishment, immediately they will be therein in despair.

23:78Juz 18 • Page 347

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ﴿٧٨﴾

And it is He who produced for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful.

23:79Juz 18 • Page 347

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى ذَرَأَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ﴿٧٩﴾

And it is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.

23:80Juz 18 • Page 347

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ وَلَهُ ٱخْتِلَٰفُ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ﴿٨٠﴾

And it is He who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of the night and the day. Then will you not reason?

23:81Juz 18 • Page 347

بَلْ قَالُوا۟ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ﴿٨١﴾

Rather, they say like what the former peoples said.

23:82Juz 18 • Page 347

قَالُوٓا۟ أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ﴿٨٢﴾

They said, "When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

23:83Juz 18 • Page 347

لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا نَحْنُ وَءَابَآؤُنَا هَٰذَا مِن قَبْلُ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ﴿٨٣﴾

We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples."

23:84Juz 18 • Page 347

قُل لِّمَنِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ﴿٨٤﴾

Say, [O Muhammad], "To whom belongs the earth and whoever is in it, if you should know?"

23:85Juz 18 • Page 347

سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ ۚ قُلْ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ﴿٨٥﴾

They will say, "To Allah." Say, "Then will you not remember?"

23:86Juz 18 • Page 347

قُلْ مَن رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ ٱلسَّبْعِ وَرَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ﴿٨٦﴾

Say, "Who is Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne?"

23:87Juz 18 • Page 347

سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ ۚ قُلْ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ﴿٨٧﴾

They will say, "[They belong] to Allah." Say, "Then will you not fear Him?"

23:88Juz 18 • Page 347

قُلْ مَنۢ بِيَدِهِۦ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ وَهُوَ يُجِيرُ وَلَا يُجَارُ عَلَيْهِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ﴿٨٨﴾

Say, "In whose hand is the realm of all things - and He protects while none can protect against Him - if you should know?"

23:89Juz 18 • Page 347

سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ ۚ قُلْ فَأَنَّىٰ تُسْحَرُونَ﴿٨٩﴾

They will say, "[All belongs] to Allah." Say, "Then how are you deluded?"

23:90Juz 18 • Page 348

بَلْ أَتَيْنَٰهُم بِٱلْحَقِّ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ﴿٩٠﴾

Rather, We have brought them the truth, and indeed they are liars.

23:91Juz 18 • Page 348

مَا ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِن وَلَدٍۢ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُۥ مِنْ إِلَٰهٍ ۚ إِذًۭا لَّذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلَٰهٍۭ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلَا بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ ۚ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ﴿٩١﴾

Allah has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to overcome others. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him].

23:92Juz 18 • Page 348

عَٰلِمِ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ فَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ﴿٩٢﴾

[He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, so high is He above what they associate [with Him].

23:93Juz 18 • Page 348

قُل رَّبِّ إِمَّا تُرِيَنِّى مَا يُوعَدُونَ﴿٩٣﴾

Say, [O Muhammad], "My Lord, if You should show me that which they are promised,

23:94Juz 18 • Page 348

رَبِّ فَلَا تَجْعَلْنِى فِى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ﴿٩٤﴾

My Lord, then do not place me among the wrongdoing people."

23:95Juz 18 • Page 348

وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّرِيَكَ مَا نَعِدُهُمْ لَقَٰدِرُونَ﴿٩٥﴾

And indeed, We are able to show you what We have promised them.

23:96Juz 18 • Page 348

ٱدْفَعْ بِٱلَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ ٱلسَّيِّئَةَ ۚ نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَصِفُونَ﴿٩٦﴾

Repel, by [means of] what is best, [their] evil. We are most knowing of what they describe.

23:97Juz 18 • Page 348

وَقُل رَّبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ هَمَزَٰتِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ﴿٩٧﴾

And say, "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the incitements of the devils,

23:98Juz 18 • Page 348

وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ رَبِّ أَن يَحْضُرُونِ﴿٩٨﴾

And I seek refuge in You, my Lord, lest they be present with me."

23:99Juz 18 • Page 348

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَحَدَهُمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ قَالَ رَبِّ ٱرْجِعُونِ﴿٩٩﴾

[For such is the state of the disbelievers], until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "My Lord, send me back

23:100Juz 18 • Page 348

لَعَلِّىٓ أَعْمَلُ صَٰلِحًۭا فِيمَا تَرَكْتُ ۚ كَلَّآ ۚ إِنَّهَا كَلِمَةٌ هُوَ قَآئِلُهَا ۖ وَمِن وَرَآئِهِم بَرْزَخٌ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ﴿١٠٠﴾

That I might do righteousness in that which I left behind." No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.

23:101Juz 18 • Page 348

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَلَآ أَنسَابَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَلَا يَتَسَآءَلُونَ﴿١٠١﴾

So when the Horn is blown, no relationship will there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one another.

23:102Juz 18 • Page 348

فَمَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ﴿١٠٢﴾

And those whose scales are heavy [with good deeds] - it is they who are the successful.

23:103Juz 18 • Page 348

وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ فِى جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدُونَ﴿١٠٣﴾

But those whose scales are light - those are the ones who have lost their souls, [being] in Hell, abiding eternally.

23:104Juz 18 • Page 348

تَلْفَحُ وُجُوهَهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَهُمْ فِيهَا كَٰلِحُونَ﴿١٠٤﴾

The Fire will sear their faces, and they therein will have taut smiles.

23:105Juz 18 • Page 349

أَلَمْ تَكُنْ ءَايَٰتِى تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ﴿١٠٥﴾

[It will be said]. "Were not My verses recited to you and you used to deny them?"

23:106Juz 18 • Page 349

قَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا غَلَبَتْ عَلَيْنَا شِقْوَتُنَا وَكُنَّا قَوْمًۭا ضَآلِّينَ﴿١٠٦﴾

They will say, "Our Lord, our wretchedness overcame us, and we were a people astray.

23:107Juz 18 • Page 349

رَبَّنَآ أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْهَا فَإِنْ عُدْنَا فَإِنَّا ظَٰلِمُونَ﴿١٠٧﴾

Our Lord, remove us from it, and if we were to return [to evil], we would indeed be wrongdoers."

23:108Juz 18 • Page 349

قَالَ ٱخْسَـُٔوا۟ فِيهَا وَلَا تُكَلِّمُونِ﴿١٠٨﴾

He will say, "Remain despised therein and do not speak to Me.

23:109Juz 18 • Page 349

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَرِيقٌۭ مِّنْ عِبَادِى يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ ءَامَنَّا فَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَٱرْحَمْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ﴿١٠٩﴾

Indeed, there was a party of My servants who said, 'Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have mercy upon us, and You are the best of the merciful.'

23:110Juz 18 • Page 349

فَٱتَّخَذْتُمُوهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا حَتَّىٰٓ أَنسَوْكُمْ ذِكْرِى وَكُنتُم مِّنْهُمْ تَضْحَكُونَ﴿١١٠﴾

But you took them in mockery to the point that they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them.

23:111Juz 18 • Page 349

إِنِّى جَزَيْتُهُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ بِمَا صَبَرُوٓا۟ أَنَّهُمْ هُمُ ٱلْفَآئِزُونَ﴿١١١﴾

Indeed, I have rewarded them this Day for their patient endurance - that they are the attainers [of success]."

23:112Juz 18 • Page 349

قَٰلَ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ عَدَدَ سِنِينَ﴿١١٢﴾

[Allah] will say, "How long did you remain on earth in number of years?"

23:113Juz 18 • Page 349

قَالُوا۟ لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍۢ فَسْـَٔلِ ٱلْعَآدِّينَ﴿١١٣﴾

They will say, "We remained a day or part of a day; ask those who enumerate."

23:114Juz 18 • Page 349

قَٰلَ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا ۖ لَّوْ أَنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ﴿١١٤﴾

He will say, "You stayed not but a little - if only you had known.

23:115Juz 18 • Page 349

أَفَحَسِبْتُمْ أَنَّمَا خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ عَبَثًۭا وَأَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْنَا لَا تُرْجَعُونَ﴿١١٥﴾

Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?"

23:116Juz 18 • Page 349

فَتَعَٰلَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۖ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْكَرِيمِ﴿١١٦﴾

So exalted is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne.

23:117Juz 18 • Page 349

وَمَن يَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ لَا بُرْهَٰنَ لَهُۥ بِهِۦ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ﴿١١٧﴾

And whoever invokes besides Allah another deity for which he has no proof - then his account is only with his Lord. Indeed, the disbelievers will not succeed.

23:118Juz 18 • Page 349

وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱغْفِرْ وَٱرْحَمْ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ﴿١١٨﴾

And, [O Muhammad], say, "My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful."
