Al-Ĥijr

الٓر ۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَقُرْءَانٍ مُّبِينٍ

Alif-lam-ra tilka ayatualkitabi waqur-anin mubeen

Alif Lam Ra These are the verses of the Scripture, a Quran that makes things clear.

رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ مُسْلِمِينَ

Rubama yawaddu allatheenakafaroo law kanoo muslimeen

The disbelievers may well come to wish they had submitted to God,

ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا۟ وَيَتَمَتَّعُوا۟ وَيُلْهِهِمُ ٱلْأَمَلُ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

Tharhum ya/kuloo wayatamattaAAoowayulhihimu al-amalu fasawfa yaAAlamoon

so [Prophet] leave them to eat and enjoy themselves. Let [false] hopes distract them: they will come to know.

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَّعْلُومٌ

Wama ahlakna min qaryatin illawalaha kitabun maAAloom

Never have We destroyed a community that did not have a set time;

مَّا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ

Ma tasbiqu min ommatin ajalahawama yasta/khiroon

no community can bring its time forward, nor delay it.

وَقَالُوا۟ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِى نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ

Waqaloo ya ayyuha allatheenuzzila AAalayhi aththikru innaka lamajnoon

They say, ‘Receiver of this Quran! You are definitely mad.

لَّوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

Law ma ta/teena bilmala-ikatiin kunta mina assadiqeen

Why do you not bring us the angels, if you are telling the truth?’

مَا نُنَزِّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوٓا۟ إِذًا مُّنظَرِينَ

Ma nunazzilu almala-ikata illabilhaqqi wama kanoo ithan munthareen

But We send down the angels only to bring justice and then these people will not be reprieved.

إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَـٰفِظُونَ

Inna nahnu nazzalna aththikrawa-inna lahu lahafithoon

We have sent down the Quran Ourself, and We Ourself will guard it. Even before you [Prophet],

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِى شِيَعِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Walaqad arsalna min qablika feeshiyaAAi al-awwaleen

We sent messengers among the various communities of old,

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

Wama ya/teehim min rasoolin illakanoo bihi yastahzi-oon

but they mocked every single messenger that came to them:

كَذَٰلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُۥ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

Kathalika naslukuhu fee quloobialmujrimeen

in this way We make the message slip through the hearts of evildoers.

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ ۖ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

La yu/minoona bihi waqad khalatsunnatu al-awwaleen

They will not believe in it. That was what happened with the peoples of long ago,

وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّوا۟ فِيهِ يَعْرُجُونَ

Walaw fatahna AAalayhim babanmina assama-i fathalloo feehiyaAArujoon

and even if We opened a gateway into Heaven for them and they rose through it, higher and higher,

لَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَـٰرُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَّسْحُورُونَ

Laqaloo innama sukkirat absarunabal nahnu qawmun mashooroon

they would still say, ‘Our eyes are hallucinating. We are bewitched.’

وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجًا وَزَيَّنَّـٰهَا لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ

Walaqad jaAAalna fee assama-iburoojan wazayyannaha linnathireen

We have set constellations up in the sky and made it beautiful for all to see,

وَحَفِظْنَـٰهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْطَـٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ

Wahafithnahamin kulli shaytanin rajeem

and guarded it from every stoned satan:

إِلَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَرَقَ ٱلسَّمْعَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ مُّبِينٌ

Illa mani istaraqa assamAAafaatbaAAahu shihabun mubeen

any eavesdropper will be pursued by a clearly visible flame.

وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَـٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مَّوْزُونٍ

Wal-arda madadnahawaalqayna feeha rawasiya waanbatnafeeha min kulli shay-in mawzoon

As for the earth, We have spread it out, set firm mountains on it, and made everything grow there in due balance.

وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَـٰيِشَ وَمَن لَّسْتُمْ لَهُۥ بِرَٰزِقِينَ

WajaAAalna lakum feeha maAAayishawaman lastum lahu biraziqeen

We have provided sustenance in it for you and for all those creatures for whom you do not provide.

وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا عِندَنَا خَزَآئِنُهُۥ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

Wa-in min shay-in illa AAindanakhaza-inuhu wama nunazziluhu illa biqadarinmaAAloom

There is not a thing whose storehouses are not with Us. We send it down only according to a well-defined measure:

وَأَرْسَلْنَا ٱلرِّيَـٰحَ لَوَٰقِحَ فَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَسْقَيْنَـٰكُمُوهُ وَمَآ أَنتُمْ لَهُۥ بِخَـٰزِنِينَ

Waarsalna arriyaha lawaqihafaanzalna mina assama-i maanfaasqaynakumoohu wama antum lahu bikhazineen

We send the winds to fertilize, and We bring down water from the sky for you to drink- you do not control its sources.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْىِۦ وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحْنُ ٱلْوَٰرِثُونَ

Wa-inna lanahnu nuhyeewanumeetu wanahnu alwarithoon

It is We who give life and death; it is We who inherit [everything].

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا ٱلْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا ٱلْمُسْتَـْٔخِرِينَ

Walaqad AAalimna almustaqdimeenaminkum walaqad AAalimna almusta/khireen

We know exactly those of you who come first and those who come later.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ

Wa-inna rabbaka huwa yahshuruhuminnahu hakeemun AAaleem

[Prophet], it is your Lord who will gather them all together: He is all wise, all knowing.

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ

Walaqad khalaqna al-insana minsalsalin min hama-in masnoon

We created man out of dried clay formed from dark mud-

وَٱلْجَآنَّ خَلَقْنَـٰهُ مِن قَبْلُ مِن نَّارِ ٱلسَّمُومِ

Waljanna khalaqnahumin qablu min nari assamoom

the jinn We created before, from the fire of scorching wind.

وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى خَـٰلِقٌۢ بَشَرًا مِّن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ

Wa-ith qala rabbuka lilmala-ikatiinnee khaliqun basharan min salsalin min hama-inmasnoon

Your Lord said to the angels, ‘I will create a mortal out of dried clay, formed from dark mud.

فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُۥ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِى فَقَعُوا۟ لَهُۥ سَـٰجِدِينَ

Fa-itha sawwaytuhu wanafakhtu feehimin roohee faqaAAoo lahu sajideen

When I have fashioned him and breathed My spirit into him, bow down before him,’

فَسَجَدَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ

Fasajada almala-ikatu kulluhumajmaAAoon

and the angels all did so.

إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ

Illa ibleesa aba an yakoonamaAAa assajideen

But not Iblis: he refused to bow down like the others.

قَالَ يَـٰٓإِبْلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ

Qala ya ibleesu ma lakaalla takoona maAAa assajideen

God said, ‘Iblis, why did you not bow down like the others?’

قَالَ لَمْ أَكُن لِّأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ

Qala lam akun li-asjuda libasharinkhalaqtahu min salsalin min hama-in masnoon

and he answered, ‘I will not bow to a mortal You created from dried clay, formed from dark mud.’

قَالَ فَٱخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ

Qala fakhruj minhafa-innaka rajeem

‘Get out of here!’ said God. ‘You are an outcast,

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ ٱللَّعْنَةَ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ

Wa-inna AAalayka allaAAnata ila yawmiaddeen

rejected until the Day of Judgement.’

قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرْنِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

Qala rabbi faanthirneeila yawmi yubAAathoon

Iblis said, ‘My Lord, give me respite until the Day when they are raised from the dead.’

قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنظَرِينَ

Qala fa-innaka mina almunthareen

‘You have respite,’ said God,

إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْوَقْتِ ٱلْمَعْلُومِ

Ila yawmi alwaqti almaAAloom

‘until the Day of the Appointed Time.’

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَغْوَيْتَنِى لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Qala rabbi bima aghwaytaneelaozayyinanna lahum fee al-ardi walaoghwiyannahumajmaAAeen

Iblis then said to God, ‘Because You have put me in the wrong, I will lure mankind on earth and put them in the wrong,

إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

Illa AAibadaka minhumualmukhlaseen

all except Your devoted servants.’

قَالَ هَـٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ عَلَىَّ مُسْتَقِيمٌ

Qala hatha siratunAAalayya mustaqeem

God said, ‘[Devotion] is a straight path to Me:

إِنَّ عِبَادِى لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْغَاوِينَ

Inna AAibadee laysa laka AAalayhimsultanun illa mani ittabaAAaka mina alghaween

you will have no power over My servants, only over the ones who go astray and follow you.

وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Wa-inna jahannama lamawAAiduhum ajmaAAeen

Hell is the promised place for all these,

لَهَا سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَٰبٍ لِّكُلِّ بَابٍ مِّنْهُمْ جُزْءٌ مَّقْسُومٌ

Laha sabAAatu abwabin likullibabin minhum juz-on maqsoom

with seven gates, each gate having its allotted share of them.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

Inna almuttaqeena fee jannatinwaAAuyoon

But the righteous will be in Gardens with springs-

ٱدْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَـٰمٍ ءَامِنِينَ

Odkhulooha bisalamin amineen

“Enter them in peace and safety!”––

وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِى صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ إِخْوَٰنًا عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ

WanazaAAna ma fee sudoorihimmin ghillin ikhwanan AAala sururin mutaqabileen

and We shall remove any bitterness from their hearts: [they will be like] brothers, sitting on couches, face to face.

لَا يَمَسُّهُمْ فِيهَا نَصَبٌ وَمَا هُم مِّنْهَا بِمُخْرَجِينَ

La yamassuhum feeha nasabunwama hum minha bimukhrajeen

No weariness will ever touch them there, nor will they ever be expelled.’

Nabbi/ AAibadee annee anaalghafooru arraheem

[Prophet], tell My servants that I am the Forgiving, the Merciful,

وَأَنَّ عَذَابِى هُوَ ٱلْعَذَابُ ٱلْأَلِيمُ

Waanna AAathabee huwa alAAathabual-aleem

but My torment is the truly painful one.

وَنَبِّئْهُمْ عَن ضَيْفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ

Wanabbi/hum AAan dayfi ibraheem

Tell them too about Abraham’s guests:

إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَـٰمًا قَالَ إِنَّا مِنكُمْ وَجِلُونَ

Ith dakhaloo AAalayhi faqaloosalaman qala inna minkum wajiloon

when they came to him and said, ‘Peace,’ he said, ‘We are afraid of you.’

Qaloo la tawjal innanubashshiruka bighulamin AAaleem

‘Do not be afraid,’ they said, ‘We bring you good news of a son who will have great knowledge.’

Qala abashshartumoonee AAalaan massaniya alkibaru fabima tubashshiroon

He said, ‘How can you give me such news when old age has come to me? What sort of news is this?’

They said, ‘We have told you the truth, so do not despair.’

Qaloo inna orsilna ilaqawmin mujrimeen

They replied, ‘We have been sent to a people who are guilty.’

إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٍ إِنَّا لَمُنَجُّوهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Illa ala lootin innalamunajjoohum ajmaAAeen

But We shall save the household of Lot,

إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَهُۥ قَدَّرْنَآ ۙ إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ

Illa imraatahu qaddarna innahalamina alghabireen

all except his wife: We have decreed that she will be one of those who stay behind.

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ءَالَ لُوطٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ

Falamma jaa ala lootinalmursaloon

When the messengers came to the household of Lot,

قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ

he said, ‘You are strangers.’

قَالُوا۟ بَلْ جِئْنَـٰكَ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ

Qaloo bal ji/naka bimakanoo feehi yamtaroon

They said, ‘We have brought you what they said would never happen:

وَأَتَيْنَـٰكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَإِنَّا لَصَـٰدِقُونَ

Waataynaka bilhaqqiwa-inna lasadiqoon

we have brought you the Truth. We speak truly,

فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱتَّبِعْ أَدْبَـٰرَهُمْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ وَٱمْضُوا۟ حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُونَ

Faasri bi-ahlika biqitAAin minaallayli wattabiAA adbarahum wala yaltafitminkum ahadun wamdoo haythutu/maroon

so leave in the dead of the night with your household, and walk behind them. Let none of you look back. Go where you are commanded.’

وَقَضَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْأَمْرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ مَقْطُوعٌ مُّصْبِحِينَ

Waqadayna ilayhi thalikaal-amra anna dabira haola-i maqtooAAunmusbiheen

We made this decree known to him: the last remnants of those people would be wiped out in the morning.

وَجَآءَ أَهْلُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ

Wajaa ahlu almadeenati yastabshiroon

The people of the town came along, revelling,

قَالَ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ ضَيْفِى فَلَا تَفْضَحُونِ

Qala inna haola-i dayfeefala tafdahoon

Qala haola-i banateein kuntum faAAileen

He said, ‘My daughters are here, if you must.’

لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِى سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ

LaAAamruka innahum lafee sakratihimyaAAmahoona

By your life [Prophet], they wandered on in their wild intoxication

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِينَ

Faakhathat-humu assayhatumushriqeen

and the blast overtook them at sunrise:

فَجَعَلْنَا عَـٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ

FajaAAalna AAaliyaha safilahawaamtarna AAalayhim hijaratan minsijjeel

We turned their city upside down and rained on them a shower of clay stones.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ

Inna fee thalika laayatinlilmutawassimeen

There truly is a sign in this for those who can learn-

وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍ مُّقِيمٍ

Wa-innaha labisabeelin muqeem

it is still there on the highway-

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Inna fee thalika laayatanlilmu/mineen

there truly is a sign in this for those who believe.

وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ لَظَـٰلِمِينَ

Wa-in kana as-habual-aykati lathalimeen

The forest-dwellers, too, were wrongdoers

فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ

Fantaqamna minhum wa-innahumalabi-imamin mubeen

and We took retribution on them; both are still there on the highway, plain for all to see.

وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْحِجْرِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Walaqad kaththaba as-habualhijri almursaleen

The people of al-Hijr also rejected Our messengers:

وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا فَكَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ

Waataynahum ayatinafakanoo AAanha muAArideen

We gave them Our signs, but they turned their backs.

وَكَانُوا۟ يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا ءَامِنِينَ

Wakanoo yanhitoona mina aljibalibuyootan amineen

They carved out dwellings in the mountains, and lived in security-

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِينَ

Faakhathat-humu assayhatumusbiheen

the blast overwhelmed them early in the morning.

فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ

Fama aghna AAanhum ma kanooyaksiboon

What they had gained was of no use to them.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَـَٔاتِيَةٌ ۖ فَٱصْفَحِ ٱلصَّفْحَ ٱلْجَمِيلَ

Wama khalaqna assamawatiwal-arda wama baynahuma illabilhaqqi wa-inna assaAAata laatiyatunfasfahi assafhaaljameel

We did not create the heavens and the earth and everything between them without a true purpose: the Hour will certainly come, so [Prophet] bear with them graciously.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلْخَلَّـٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

Inna rabbaka huwa alkhallaqualAAaleem

Your Lord is the All Knowing Creator.

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَـٰكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ ٱلْمَثَانِى وَٱلْقُرْءَانَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ

Walaqad ataynaka sabAAan minaalmathanee walqur-ana alAAatheem

We have given you the seven oft-recited verses and the whole glorious Quran.

لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

La tamuddanna AAaynayka ila mamattaAAna bihi azwajan minhum wala tahzanAAalayhim wakhfid janahaka lilmu/mineen

Do not look longingly at the good things We have given some to enjoy. Do not grieve over the [disbelievers], but lower your wings over the believers

وَقُلْ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱلنَّذِيرُ ٱلْمُبِينُ

Waqul innee ana annatheerualmubeen

and say, ‘I am here to give plain warning,’

كَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى ٱلْمُقْتَسِمِينَ

Kama anzalna AAalaalmuqtasimeen

like the [warning] We have sent down for those who divide themselves into bands

ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا۟ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ عِضِينَ

Allatheena jaAAaloo alqur-anaAAideen

and abuse the Quran––

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْـَٔلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Fawarabbika lanas-alannahum ajmaAAeen

by your Lord, We will question them all

عَمَّا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

about their deeds.

فَٱصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ

FasdaAA bima tu/maruwaaAArid AAani almushrikeen

So proclaim openly what you have been commanded [to say], and ignore the idolaters.

إِنَّا كَفَيْنَـٰكَ ٱلْمُسْتَهْزِءِينَ

Inna kafaynaka almustahzi-een

We are enough for you against all those who ridicule your message,

ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

Allatheena yajAAaloona maAAa Allahiilahan akhara fasawfa yaAAlamoon

who set up another god beside God- they will come to know.

وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ

Walaqad naAAlamu annaka yadeequ sadrukabima yaqooloon

We are well aware that your heart is weighed down by what they say.

فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ

Fasabbih bihamdi rabbika wakunmina assajideen

Celebrate the glory of your Lord and be among those who bow down to Him:

وَٱعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ ٱلْيَقِينُ

WaAAbud rabbaka hattaya/tiyaka alyaqeen

worship your Lord until what is certain comes to you.
