SURAH
AL-ANBIYA
Allah in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful.
1. The accountability of the people is near and they have
turned their faces in heedlessness.
2. Whenever any admonition comes to them from their Lord,
they hear it not but sporting.
3. Their hearts have fallen in sport. And the unjust counselled
among themselves secretly; that who is this, he is only a man
like you? Do you go to magic while you see?
4. The Prophet said, 'my Lord knows every word in the heavens
and earth, and He is the Hearer, the Knower'.
5. On the contrary, they said, 'these are the perturbed
dreams rather it is his own fabrication, nay, he is a poet.
Then let him bring any sign to us as the former was sent with.
6. No town, which We destroyed, believed before them; will
they then believe?
7. And We sent not before you but men whom We revealed then
O people! Ask the men of knowledge if you have no knowledge.
8. And We made them not mere bodies that they may not eat
food and nor live in the world forever.
9. Then We made good Our promise to them? So We delivered
them and those whom We pleased and destroyed the extravagant.
10. Undoubtedly, We sent towards you a Book in which there
is glory for you. Have you then no wisdom?
11. And how many towns that were oppressing, We utterly
destroyed and raised up another people after them.
12. Then when they got Our torment, therefore they began
to flee from it.
13. Flee not, and return to those comforts, which were given
to you and to your homes, haply you are to be questioned.
14. They said, Ah! Woe to us, no doubt, we were unjust.
15. Then they remained crying so, till We made them cut
off, extinguished.
16. And We made not the heavens and the earth and whatever
is between the two in vain.
17. If We had wished to take any amusement, then We would
have taken from Ourselves; if at all, We were to do.
18. Rather We hurl the truth at falsehood, then it takes
out its brain, and therefore it vanishes. And Woe is to you
for those utterances, which you fabricate.
19. And to Him belongs whosoever is in the heavens and the
earth. And those near Him do not wax proud to worship Him, and
nor are they tired.
20. They glorify Him night and day and intermit not.
21. Have they made some such gods from the earth who creates
something?
22. If there had been gods beside Allah in the heavens and
earth, then necessarily, they would have gone ruined. Therefore,
Glory is to Allah, the Lord of the Throne; from the utterances
which they fabricate.
23. He is not questioned as to what He does, while they
all shall be questioned.
24. Have they taken other gods beside Allah? Say you, 'bring
forth your proof. This Quran is the mention of those with me
and the narration of those before me'. Rather most of them know
not the truth, therefore they turn a side.
25. And We sent not any Messenger before you but We revealed
to him that there is no god but I; Therefore worship Me alone.
26. And they said, 'The Most Affectionate has taken for
Himself a son', Holy is He. Nay they are bondmen honoured.
27. They precede Him not in word, and they act only by His
command.
28. He knows whatever is before them and whatever is behind
them, and they intercede not but for him whom He is pleased
with, and they are fearing of His awe.
29. And whosoever of them says. 'I am a god beside Allah',
and then We shall recompense him with Hell. Thus, We recompense
the oppressors.
30. Did the infidels not consider that the heavens and earth
were closed up, then We opened them out? And We made every made
living thing from water. Will they then believe?
31. And We put anchors in the earth lest it should move
away with them, and We made therein wide pathways that haply
they may be guided.
32. And We made the heaven a roof well protected; and they
are avatars from its signs.
33. And it is He Who created the night and the day and the
sun and the moon. Each one is floating in a circumference.
34. And We made not before you for any man to live forever
in the world. Will they then if you pass away live forever?
35. Every soul is to taste death. And We prove you by evil
and good for trial. And to Us you are to return.
36. And when the infidels see you, they take not you but,
with mockery. Is this he who speaks evil of your gods? While
they are themselves the rejecters of the very remembrance of
the Most Affectionate.
37. Man is made hasty, and I will show you My signs, be
not hasty to Me.
38. And they say, 'when this promise will be (fulfilled)
if you are truthful?
39. Anyhow the infidels knew the time when they will not
be able to keep off fire from their mouths not from their backs,
neither they shall be helped.
40. Rather it will come to them all of a sudden, then it
will confound them, and they will not be able to avert it and
nor they will be given respite.
41. And undoubtedly, the Messengers before you were mocked,
then the mockery of the scoffers took themselves in its fold.
42. Say you, Who keeps watch upon you from (the wrath of)
the Most Affectionate by night and by day? Yet, they have turned
their faces from the remembrance of their Lord.
43. Have they some gods who protect them beside Us? They
cannot protect their own souls, and nor against Us they may
have company with.
44. Nay, We allowed them and their fathers to carry on,
until the life grew long upon them. Do they then not observe
that We are coming gradually reducing the land from its outlying
borders? Will they then overcome?
45. Say you, 'I only warn you by the Revelation; and the
deaf do not hear the call when they are warned'.
46. And if a breath of the torment of your Lord touch them
then necessarily, they will say, Oh! Alas for us, undoubtedly,
we were unjust.'
47. And We shall set up the balances of justice for the
Day of Judgement, then no soul shall be wronged anything. And
if there be anything, even equal to a grain of mustard seed,
then We shall bring it; And We are sufficient to take account.
48. And undoubtedly, We gave Musa and Haroon Judgement and
the light and admonition for those who fear God.
49. Those who fear their Lord, unseen, and who are dreadful
of the Hour.
50. And it is this the blessed admonition that We have sent
down. Are you then deniers of it?
51. And undoubtedly, We bestowed over Ibrahim his righteous
path from before, and We knew him.
52. When he said to his father and his people, 'what are
these images before which you are sitting firmly.' (for worship).
53. They said, 'we found our fathers worshipping them.
54. He said, 'undoubtedly, you and your fathers are in manifest
error'.
55. They said, 'Have you brought truth to us, or you are
making a play unintentionally'?
56. He said, 'Nay, your Lord! Is He Who is the Lord of the
heavens and the earth, Who created them, and I am of the witnesses
to that'.
57. And I swear by Allah, I shall devise bad against your
idols after you have turned your backs.
58. Then he broke them into pieces but the big one of them,
that haply they may ask to it something.
59. They said, 'who has done this to our gods'? Undoubtedly,
he is Unjust.
60. Some of them said, We have heard a youth called Ibrahim
saying badly to them.
61. They said, then bring him before the people, haply they
may bear witness.
62. They said, 'Have you done this to our gods O Ibrahim'?
63. He said, 'rather this big one of them would have done
this, so ask them, if they can speak'.
64. They turned to themselves and said, 'undoubtedly you
yourselves are the unjust'.
65. Then they were lied downward on the heads, that you
know well that these do not speak.
66. He said, 'do you then worship beside Allah that which
neither profits you and nor hurts you'.
67. Fie on you and on those deities, which you worship besides
Allah, do you then have no wisdom?
68. They said, 'burn him and help your gods, if you have
to do.'
69. We said, 'O Fire! Be you cool and safety for Ibrahim.'
70. And they desired evil for him, but We made them the
worst losers.
71. And We delivered him and Lut, towards the land in which
We had placed the blessings for the worlds.
72. And We bestowed him Ishaque and as grand son, Yaqoob,
and We made all of them able for Our special favour.
73. And We made them leaders who call by Our command and
We revealed to them the doing of good deeds and establishing
prayer and the paying of Zakat (Poor-due) and they constantly
served Us.
74. And to Lut, We gave government and knowledge and delivered
him from that town which had been working foul deeds; undoubtedly
those evil people were disobedient.
75. And We caused him to enter Our Mercy. Undoubtedly he
is of those able for Our special favour.
76. And to Nuh when he called Us before this, then We listened
to his prayer and delivered him and his family from severe torture.
77. And We helped him against a people who belied Our signs.
Undoubtedly, they were devil people, so We drowned them all.
78. And remember Daud and Suleman when they gave decision
regarding a feud of tillage when the sheep of certain people
strayed therein by night, and We were present at the time of
their judgement.
79. We made Suleman to understand the matter and bestowed
to both of them government and knowledge and We made the mountains
subservient to celebrate Our praises with Daud and so the birds.
And these were Our doings.
80. And We taught him the making of garments for you so
that it may protect you against your violence; will you then
be grateful?
81. And to Suleman, We made subservient the violent wind
that it blew at his bidding to the land in which We had placed
Our blessings; and We are in know of everything.
82. And of the devils those who dived for him and did other
work beside that and We had a check over them.
83. And remember Ayub when he called his Lord that distress
has touched me and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful.
84. Then We responded to him and We removed the distress
which he had and We gave him his family and along with them
the like thereof as a mercy from Us and as an admonition to
the devotees.
85. And remember Ismail and Idrees and Zulkifl. They were
all men of patience.
86. And We got them enter into Our Mercy. Undoubtedly, they
are of the righteous ones.
87. And remember Zunnoon when he departed in anger, he imagined
that We would not cause him any distress and then he cried out
in the darkness, there is none to be worshipped but You, Glory
is to You, undoubtedly, I did improper act.
88. Then We responded to his call and delivered him from
the grief and We shall likewise deliver the Muslims.
89. And to Zakaria when he called his Lord, O my Lord! Leave
not me alone and You are the best inheritor.
90. Then We responded to his call and bestowed him Yahya
and cured his wife for him. Undoubtedly, they used to hurry
in good deeds and used to call Us with hope and fear. And they
humble themselves before Us.
91. And as to she, who guarded her chastity, then We breathed
into her of Our spirit, and made her and her son a sign for
the world.
92. Undoubtedly, this religion (Din) of yours is a single
religion (Din), and I am your Lord, so worship Me.
93. And others split their affairs among themselves. All
are to return to Us.
94. Then whosoever works righteous deeds and be a believer,
then his efforts are not disregarded and We are recording it.
95. And it is forbidden to a town, which We have destroyed
that they return.
96. Until when Yajuj and Maujuj would be let loose and they
will be coming down from every height.
97. And the true promise drew near, then the eyes of the
infidels will remain staring (saying that) Woe to us, undoubtedly,
we were heedless of this rather we were unjust'
98. Undoubtedly, you and Whatever you worship beside Allah,
all are the fuel of the hell, and you have to enter therein.
99. If these had been gods, they would not have gone to
Hell and all shall abide therein.
100. They will groan therein and they will hear nothing
in it.
101. Undoubtedly, those for whom Our promise of good has
already gone forth, they have been kept away from the Hell.
102. They will not hear the faintest sound of it and they
will abide in that which their soul desire.
103. The Great Terror shall not grieve them and the angels
will come to greet them (saying) that this is your Day, which
you were promised.
104. The Day when We shall roll up the heavens as the angel
Sajil rolls up the record of deeds. As We made it, first We
shall restore it. This is a promise on Us; We shall necessarily
do it.
105. And undoubtedly, We Wrote in Zaboor (Scripture) after
the admonition that My righteous bondmen will inherit this land.
106. Undoubtedly, this Quran is sufficient for the worshipers.
107. And We sent not you, but a mercy for all worlds.
108. Say you, 'I am revealed only this that you have no
god but one Allah; do you then become muslim?
109. But if they turn away their faces, then say, 'I have
proclaimed war against you on equal basis, and I know not whether
that which you are promised is near or far.
110. Undoubtedly, Allah knows about aloud talks and knows
whatever you conceal.
111. And I know not, haply it may be a trial for you and
the provision for a fixed time.
112. The prophet submitted, 'O my Lord; decide with truth.
And the assistance of my Lord the Most Affectionate is needed
against what you utter.
