Surah Kahf: Arabic, English, the four accounts and Friday

Verses 1 to 8: The Scripture and the warning

1. 1

   ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عِوَجَا ۜ

   Al-hamdu lillahil-ladhi anzala 'ala 'abdihil-kitaba wa lam yaj'al lahu 'iwaja

   Praise be to Allah Who has revealed the Scripture to His slave, and has not placed therein any crookedness,

2. 2

   قَيِّمًا لِّيُنذِرَ بَأْسًا شَدِيدًا مِّن لَّدُنْهُ وَيُبَشِّرَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا حَسَنًا

   Qayyimal-liyundhira ba'san shadidam-mil-ladunhu wa yubashshiral-mu'mininal-ladhina ya'malunas-salihati anna lahum ajran hasana

   (But has made it) straight, to give warning of stern punishment from Him, and to bring to the believers who do good works the news that theirs will be a fair reward,

3. 3

   مَّـٰكِثِينَ فِيهِ أَبَدًا

   Makithina fihi abada

   Wherein they will abide for ever;

4. 4

   وَيُنذِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوا۟ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ وَلَدًا

   Wa yundhiral-ladhina qalut-takhadhal-lahu walada

   And to warn those who say: Allah has chosen a son,

5. 5

   مَّا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ وَلَا لِـَٔابَآئِهِمْ ۚ كَبُرَتْ كَلِمَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ ۚ إِن يَقُولُونَ إِلَّا كَذِبًا

   Ma lahum bihi min 'ilmiw-wa la li-aba'ihim, kaburat kalimatan takhruju min afwahihim, iy-yaquluna illa kadhiba

   (A thing) whereof they have no knowledge, nor (had) their fathers, Dreadful is the word that comes out of their mouths. They speak nothing but a lie.

6. 6

   فَلَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِمْ إِن لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَسَفًا

   Fala'allaka bakhi'un-nafsaka 'ala atharihim il-lam yu'minu bihadhal-hadithi asafa

   Yet it may be, if they do not believe in this statement, that you (Muhammad) will torment your soul with grief over their footsteps.

7. 7

   إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا مَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ زِينَةً لَّهَا لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا

   Inna ja'alna ma 'alal-ardi zinatal-laha linabluwahum ayyuhum ahsanu 'amala

   Indeed, We have placed all that is on the earth as an ornament thereof that We may try them: which of them is best in conduct.

8. 8

   وَإِنَّا لَجَـٰعِلُونَ مَا عَلَيْهَا صَعِيدًا جُرُزًا

   Wa inna laja'iluna ma 'alayha sa'idan juruza

   And indeed, We shall make all that is thereon a barren mound.

Verses 9 to 26: The people of the cave

Verses 23 and 24, on saying "if Allah wills", are explained in the Inshallah lesson.

9. 9

   أَمْ حَسِبْتَ أَنَّ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْكَهْفِ وَٱلرَّقِيمِ كَانُوا۟ مِنْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا عَجَبًا

   Am hasibta anna as-habal-kahfi war-raqimi kanu min ayatina 'ajaba

   Or do you think that the People of the Cave and the Inscription are a wonder among Our portents?

10. 10

    إِذْ أَوَى ٱلْفِتْيَةُ إِلَى ٱلْكَهْفِ فَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا

    Idh awal-fityatu ilal-kahfi faqalu rabbana atina mil-ladunka rahmataw-wa hayyi' lana min amrina rashada

    When the young men fled for refuge to the Cave and said: Our Lord! Give us mercy from Your presence, and shape for us right conduct in our plight.

11. 11

    فَضَرَبْنَا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ فِى ٱلْكَهْفِ سِنِينَ عَدَدًا

    Fadarabna 'ala adhanihim fil-kahfi sinina 'adada

    Then We sealed up their hearing in the Cave for a number of years.

12. 12

    ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَـٰهُمْ لِنَعْلَمَ أَىُّ ٱلْحِزْبَيْنِ أَحْصَىٰ لِمَا لَبِثُوٓا۟ أَمَدًا

    Thumma ba'athnahum lina'lama ayyul-hizbayni ahsa lima labithu amada

    And afterward We raised them up that We might know which of the two parties would best calculate the time that they had tarried.

13. 13

    نَّحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ نَبَأَهُم بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ فِتْيَةٌ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِرَبِّهِمْ وَزِدْنَـٰهُمْ هُدًى

    Nahnu naqussu 'alayka naba'ahum bil-haqq, innahum fityatun amanu birabbihim wa zidnahum huda

    We narrate to you their story with truth. Indeed, they were young men who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.

14. 14

    وَرَبَطْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ إِذْ قَامُوا۟ فَقَالُوا۟ رَبُّنَا رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ لَن نَّدْعُوَا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِلَـٰهًا ۖ لَّقَدْ قُلْنَآ إِذًا شَطَطًا

    Wa rabatna 'ala qulubihim idh qamu faqalu rabbuna rabbus-samawati wal-ardi lan nad'uwa min dunihi ilaha, laqad qulna idhan shatata

    And We made firm their hearts when they stood forth and said: Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. We cry to no god beside Him, for then we would utter an enormity.

15. 15

    هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمُنَا ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً ۖ لَّوْلَا يَأْتُونَ عَلَيْهِم بِسُلْطَـٰنٍۭ بَيِّنٍ ۖ فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا

    Ha'ula'i qawmunat-takhadhu min dunihi aliha, law la ya'tuna 'alayhim bisultanim bayyin, faman azlamu mimmanif-tara 'alal-lahi kadhiba

    These, our people, have chosen (other) gods beside Him though they bring no clear warrant (granted) to them. And who does greater wrong than he who invents a lie concerning Allah?

16. 16

    وَإِذِ ٱعْتَزَلْتُمُوهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ فَأْوُۥٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلْكَهْفِ يَنشُرْ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِهِۦ وَيُهَيِّئْ لَكُم مِّنْ أَمْرِكُم مِّرْفَقًا

    Wa idhi'-tazaltumuhum wa ma ya'buduna illal-laha fa'wu ilal-kahfi yanshur lakum rabbukum mir-rahmatihi wa yuhayyi' lakum min amrikum mirfaqa

    And when you withdraw from them and that which they worship except Allah, then seek refuge in the Cave; your Lord will spread for you of His mercy and will prepare for you a pillow in your plight.

17. 17

    ۞ وَتَرَى ٱلشَّمْسَ إِذَا طَلَعَت تَّزَٰوَرُ عَن كَهْفِهِمْ ذَاتَ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَإِذَا غَرَبَت تَّقْرِضُهُمْ ذَاتَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَهُمْ فِى فَجْوَةٍ مِّنْهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ مَن يَهْدِ ٱللَّهُ فَهُوَ ٱلْمُهْتَدِ ۖ وَمَن يُضْلِلْ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُۥ وَلِيًّا مُّرْشِدًا

    Wa tarash-shamsa idha tala'at tazawaru 'an kahfihim dhatal-yamini wa idha gharabat taqriduhum dhatash-shimali wa hum fi fajwatim-minh, dhalika min ayatil-lah, may-yahdil-lahu fahuwal-muhtad, wa may-yudlil falan tajida lahu waliyyam-murshida

    And you might have seen the sun when it rose move away from their cave to the right, and when it set go past them on the left, and they were in the cleft thereof. That was (one) of the portents of Allah. He whom Allah guides, he indeed is led aright, and he whom He sends astray, for him you will not find a guiding friend.

18. 18

    وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ أَيْقَاظًا وَهُمْ رُقُودٌ ۚ وَنُقَلِّبُهُمْ ذَاتَ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَذَاتَ ٱلشِّمَالِ ۖ وَكَلْبُهُم بَـٰسِطٌ ذِرَاعَيْهِ بِٱلْوَصِيدِ ۚ لَوِ ٱطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَوَلَّيْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِرَارًا وَلَمُلِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ رُعْبًا

    Wa tahsabuhum ayqazaw-wa hum ruqud, wa nuqallibuhum dhatal-yamini wa dhatash-shimal, wa kalbuhum basitun dhira'ayhi bil-wasid, lawit-tala'ta 'alayhim lawallayta minhum firaraw-wa lamuli'ta minhum ru'ba

    And you would have thought them awake though they were asleep, and We caused them to turn over to the right and the left, and their dog stretching out his paws on the threshold. If you had observed them closely you had assuredly turned away from them in flight, and had been filled with awe of them.

19. 19

    وَكَذَٰلِكَ بَعَثْنَـٰهُمْ لِيَتَسَآءَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ ۚ قَالُوا۟ رَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثْتُمْ فَٱبْعَثُوٓا۟ أَحَدَكُم بِوَرِقِكُمْ هَـٰذِهِۦٓ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيَنظُرْ أَيُّهَآ أَزْكَىٰ طَعَامًا فَلْيَأْتِكُم بِرِزْقٍ مِّنْهُ وَلْيَتَلَطَّفْ وَلَا يُشْعِرَنَّ بِكُمْ أَحَدًا

    Wa kadhalika ba'athnahum liyatasa'alu baynahum, qala qa'ilum-minhum kam labithtum, qalu labithna yawman aw ba'da yawm, qalu rabbukum a'lamu bima labithtum fab'athu ahadakum biwariqikum hadhihi ilal-madinati falyanzur ayyuha azka ta'aman falya'tikum birizqim-minhu walyatalattaf wa la yush'iranna bikum ahada

    And in like manner We awakened them that they might question one another. A speaker from among them said: How long have you tarried? They said: We have tarried a day or some part of a day, (Others) said: Your Lord best knows how long you have tarried. Now send one of you with this your silver coin to the city, and let him see what food is purest there and bring you a supply thereof. Let him be courteous and let no man know of you.

20. 20

    إِنَّهُمْ إِن يَظْهَرُوا۟ عَلَيْكُمْ يَرْجُمُوكُمْ أَوْ يُعِيدُوكُمْ فِى مِلَّتِهِمْ وَلَن تُفْلِحُوٓا۟ إِذًا أَبَدًا

    Innahum iy-yazharu 'alaykum yarjumukum aw yu'idukum fi millatihim wa lan tuflihu idhan abada

    For they, if they should come to know of you, will stone you or turn you back to their religion; then you will never prosper.

21. 21

    وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَأَنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهَآ إِذْ يَتَنَـٰزَعُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَمْرَهُمْ ۖ فَقَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ عَلَيْهِم بُنْيَـٰنًا ۖ رَّبُّهُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ ۚ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ غَلَبُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِم مَّسْجِدًا

    Wa kadhalika a'tharna 'alayhim liya'lamu anna wa'dal-lahi haqquw-wa annas-sa'ata la rayba fiha, idh yatanaza'una baynahum amrahum, faqalub-nu 'alayhim bunyana, rabbuhum a'lamu bihim, qalal-ladhina ghalabu 'ala amrihim lanattakhidhanna 'alayhim masjida

    And in like manner We disclosed them (to the people of the city) that they might know that the promise of Allah is true, and that, as for the Hour, there is no doubt concerning it. When (the people of the city) disputed of their case among themselves, they said: Build over them a building; their Lord knows best concerning them. Those who won their point said: We truly shall build a place of worship over them.

22. 22

    سَيَقُولُونَ ثَلَـٰثَةٌ رَّابِعُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ خَمْسَةٌ سَادِسُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ رَجْمًۢا بِٱلْغَيْبِ ۖ وَيَقُولُونَ سَبْعَةٌ وَثَامِنُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ ۚ قُل رَّبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِم مَّا يَعْلَمُهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ ۗ فَلَا تُمَارِ فِيهِمْ إِلَّا مِرَآءً ظَـٰهِرًا وَلَا تَسْتَفْتِ فِيهِم مِّنْهُمْ أَحَدًا

    Sayaquluna thalathatur-rabi'uhum kalbuhum wa yaquluna khamsatun sadisuhum kalbuhum rajmam bil-ghayb, wa yaquluna sab'atuw-wa thaminuhum kalbuhum, qur-rabbi a'lamu bi'iddatihim ma ya'lamuhum illa qalil, fala tumari fihim illa mira'an zahiraw-wa la tastafti fihim minhum ahada

    (Some) will say: They were three, their dog the fourth, and (some) say: Five, their dog the sixth, guessing at random; and (some) say: Seven, and their dog the eighth. Say (O Muhammad): My Lord is Best Aware of their number. None knows them except a few. So contend not concerning them except with an outward contending, and ask not any of them to pronounce concerning them.

23. 23

    وَلَا تَقُولَنَّ لِشَا۟ىْءٍ إِنِّى فَاعِلٌ ذَٰلِكَ غَدًا

    Wa la taqulanna lishay'in inni fa'ilun dhalika ghada

    And say not of anything: Indeed, I shall do that tomorrow,

24. 24

    إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَٱذْكُر رَّبَّكَ إِذَا نَسِيتَ وَقُلْ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَهْدِيَنِ رَبِّى لِأَقْرَبَ مِنْ هَـٰذَا رَشَدًا

    Illa ay-yasha'al-lah, wadhkur rabbaka idha nasita wa qul 'asa ay-yahdiyani rabbi li'aqraba min hadha rashada

    Except if Allah wills. And remember your Lord when you forget, and say: It may be that my Lord guides me to a nearer way of truth than this.

25. 25

    وَلَبِثُوا۟ فِى كَهْفِهِمْ ثَلَـٰثَ مِا۟ئَةٍ سِنِينَ وَٱزْدَادُوا۟ تِسْعًا

    Wa labithu fi kahfihim thalatha mi'atin sinina wazdadu tis'a

    And (it is said) they tarried in their Cave three hundred years and add nine.

26. 26

    قُلِ ٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُوا۟ ۖ لَهُۥ غَيْبُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ أَبْصِرْ بِهِۦ وَأَسْمِعْ ۚ مَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا يُشْرِكُ فِى حُكْمِهِۦٓ أَحَدًا

    Qulil-lahu a'lamu bima labithu, lahu ghaybus-samawati wal-ard, absir bihi wa asmi', ma lahum min dunihi miw-waliyyiw-wa la yushriku fi hukmihi ahada

    Say: Allah is Best Aware how long they tarried. His is the Invisible of the heavens and the earth. How clear of sight is He and keen of hearing! They have no protecting friend beside Him, and He makes none to share in His government.

Verses 27 to 31: Recite, and keep good company

27. 27

    وَٱتْلُ مَآ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ مِن كِتَابِ رَبِّكَ ۖ لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَـٰتِهِۦ وَلَن تَجِدَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مُلْتَحَدًا

    Watlu ma uhiya ilayka min kitabi rabbik, la mubaddila likalimatihi wa lan tajida min dunihi multahada

    And recite that which has been revealed to you of the Scripture of your Lord. There is none who can change His words, and you will find no refuge beside Him.

28. 28

    وَٱصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَدَوٰةِ وَٱلْعَشِىِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُۥ ۖ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنَاكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُۥ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُهُۥ فُرُطًا

    Wasbir nafsaka ma'al-ladhina yad'una rabbahum bil-ghadati wal-'ashiyyi yuriduna wajhah, wa la ta'du 'aynaka 'anhum turidu zinatal-hayatid-dunya, wa la tuti' man aghfalna qalbahu 'an dhikrina wattaba'a hawahu wa kana amruhu furuta

    Restrain yourself along with those who cry to their Lord morning and evening, seeking His Countenance; and let not your eyes overlook them, desiring the pomp of the life of the world; and obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance, who follows his own lust and whose case has been abandoned.

29. 29

    وَقُلِ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ فَلْيُؤْمِن وَمَن شَآءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ ۚ إِنَّآ أَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ نَارًا أَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَا ۚ وَإِن يَسْتَغِيثُوا۟ يُغَاثُوا۟ بِمَآءٍ كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَشْوِى ٱلْوُجُوهَ ۚ بِئْسَ ٱلشَّرَابُ وَسَآءَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا

    Wa qulil-haqqu mir-rabbikum, faman sha'a falyu'miw-wa man sha'a falyakfur, inna a'tadna lidh-dhalimina naran ahata bihim suradiquha, wa iy-yastaghithu yughathu bima'in kal-muhli yashwil-wujuh, bi'sash-sharabu wa sa'at murtafaqa

    Say: (It is) the truth from the Lord of you (all). Then whoever wills, let him believe, and whoever wills, let him disbelieve. Indeed, We have prepared for disbelievers Fire. Its tent encloses them. If they ask for showers, they will be showered with water like molten lead which burns the faces. Calamitous the drink and ill the resting-place!

30. 30

    إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ إِنَّا لَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ مَنْ أَحْسَنَ عَمَلًا

    Innal-ladhina amanu wa 'amilus-salihati inna la nudi'u ajra man ahsana 'amala

    Indeed, as for those who believe and do good works - indeed, We do not allow the reward of one whose work is goodly to be lost.

31. 31

    أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ جَنَّـٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهِمُ ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيهَا مِنْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٍ وَيَلْبَسُونَ ثِيَابًا خُضْرًا مِّن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ فِيهَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ ۚ نِعْمَ ٱلثَّوَابُ وَحَسُنَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا

    Ula'ika lahum jannatu 'adnin tajri min tahtihimul-anharu yuhallawna fiha min asawira min dhahabiw-wa yalbasuna thiyaban khudram-min sundusiw-wa istabraqim-muttaki'ina fiha 'alal-ara'ik, ni'math-thawabu wa hasunat murtafaqa

    As for such, theirs will be Gardens of Eden, wherein rivers flow beneath them; therein they will be given armlets of gold and will wear green robes of finest silk and gold embroidery, reclining upon throne therein. Blessed the reward, and fair the resting-place!

Verses 32 to 44: The man of the two gardens

Verse 39 is where "Mashallah" comes from: see the Mashallah lesson.

32. 32

    ۞ وَٱضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلًا رَّجُلَيْنِ جَعَلْنَا لِأَحَدِهِمَا جَنَّتَيْنِ مِنْ أَعْنَـٰبٍ وَحَفَفْنَـٰهُمَا بِنَخْلٍ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمَا زَرْعًا

    Wadrib lahum mathalar-rajulayni ja'alna li'ahadihima jannatayni min a'nabiw-wa hafafnahuma binakhliw-wa ja'alna baynahuma zar'a

    Coin for them a similitude: Two men, to one of whom We had assigned two gardens of grapes, and We had surrounded both with date-palms and had put between them tillage.

33. 33

    كِلْتَا ٱلْجَنَّتَيْنِ ءَاتَتْ أُكُلَهَا وَلَمْ تَظْلِم مِّنْهُ شَيْـًٔا ۚ وَفَجَّرْنَا خِلَـٰلَهُمَا نَهَرًا

    Kiltal-jannatayni atat ukulaha wa lam tazlim minhu shay'a, wa fajjarna khilalahuma nahara

    Each of the gardens gave its fruit and withheld nothing thereof. And We caused a river to gush forth therein.

34. 34

    وَكَانَ لَهُۥ ثَمَرٌ فَقَالَ لِصَـٰحِبِهِۦ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهُۥٓ أَنَا۠ أَكْثَرُ مِنكَ مَالًا وَأَعَزُّ نَفَرًا

    Wa kana lahu thamarun faqala lisahibihi wa huwa yuhawiruhu ana aktharu minka malaw-wa a'azzu nafara

    And he had fruit. And he said to his comrade, when he spoke with him: I am more than you in wealth, and stronger in respect of men.

35. 35

    وَدَخَلَ جَنَّتَهُۥ وَهُوَ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ قَالَ مَآ أَظُنُّ أَن تَبِيدَ هَـٰذِهِۦٓ أَبَدًا

    Wa dakhala jannatahu wa huwa zalimul-linafsih, qala ma azunnu an tabida hadhihi abada

    And he went into his garden, while he (thus) wronged himself. He said: I do not think that all this will ever perish.

36. 36

    وَمَآ أَظُنُّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَآئِمَةً وَلَئِن رُّدِدتُّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى لَأَجِدَنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهَا مُنقَلَبًا

    Wa ma azunnus-sa'ata qa'imataw-wa la'ir-rudidtu ila rabbi la'ajidanna khayram-minha munqalaba

    I do not think that the Hour will ever come, and if indeed I am brought back to my Lord I surely shall find better than this as a resort.

37. 37

    قَالَ لَهُۥ صَاحِبُهُۥ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهُۥٓ أَكَفَرْتَ بِٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ مِن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ سَوَّىٰكَ رَجُلًا

    Qala lahu sahibuhu wa huwa yuhawiruhu akafarta billadhi khalaqaka min turabin thumma min nutfatin thumma sawwaka rajula

    His comrade, when he (thus) spoke with him, exclaimed: Do you disbelieve in Him Who created you of dust, then of a drop (of seed), and then fashioned you a man?

38. 38

    لَّـٰكِنَّا۠ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ رَبِّى وَلَآ أُشْرِكُ بِرَبِّىٓ أَحَدًا

    Lakinna huwal-lahu rabbi wa la ushriku birabbi ahada

    But He is Allah, my Lord, and I ascribe to my Lord no partner.

39. 39

    وَلَوْلَآ إِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِ ۚ إِن تَرَنِ أَنَا۠ أَقَلَّ مِنكَ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا

    Wa law la idh dakhalta jannataka qulta ma sha'al-lahu la quwwata illa billah, in tarani ana aqalla minka malaw-wa walada

    If only, when you entered your garden, you had said: That which Allah wills (will come to pass)! There is no strength except in Allah! Though you see me as less than you in wealth and children,

40. 40

    فَعَسَىٰ رَبِّىٓ أَن يُؤْتِيَنِ خَيْرًا مِّن جَنَّتِكَ وَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهَا حُسْبَانًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَتُصْبِحَ صَعِيدًا زَلَقًا

    Fa'asa rabbi ay-yu'tiyani khayram-min jannatika wa yursila 'alayha husbanam-minas-sama'i fatusbiha sa'idan zalaqa

    Yet it may be that my Lord will give me better than your garden, and will send on it a bolt from heaven, and some morning it will be a smooth hillside,

41. 41

    أَوْ يُصْبِحَ مَآؤُهَا غَوْرًا فَلَن تَسْتَطِيعَ لَهُۥ طَلَبًا

    Aw yusbiha ma'uha ghawran falan tastati'a lahu talaba

    Or some morning the water thereof will be lost in the earth so that you cannot search for it.

42. 42

    وَأُحِيطَ بِثَمَرِهِۦ فَأَصْبَحَ يُقَلِّبُ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَنفَقَ فِيهَا وَهِىَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا وَيَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى لَمْ أُشْرِكْ بِرَبِّىٓ أَحَدًا

    Wa uhita bithamarihi fa-asbaha yuqallibu kaffayhi 'ala ma anfaqa fiha wa hiya khawiyatun 'ala 'urushiha wa yaqulu ya laytani lam ushrik birabbi ahada

    And his fruit was beset (with destruction). Then he began to wring his hands for all that he had spent upon it, when (now) it was all ruined on its trellises, and to say: Would that I had ascribed no partner to my Lord!

43. 43

    وَلَمْ تَكُن لَّهُۥ فِئَةٌ يَنصُرُونَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ مُنتَصِرًا

    Wa lam takul-lahu fi'atuy-yansurunahu min dunil-lahi wa ma kana muntasira

    And he had no troop of men to help him as against Allah, nor could he save himself.

44. 44

    هُنَالِكَ ٱلْوَلَـٰيَةُ لِلَّهِ ٱلْحَقِّ ۚ هُوَ خَيْرٌ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ عُقْبًا

    Hunalikal-walayatu lillahil-haqq, huwa khayrun thawabaw-wa khayrun 'uqba

    In this case is protection only from Allah, the True, He is Best for reward, and best for consequence.

Verses 45 to 59: This world, Iblis and the Day

45. 45

    وَٱضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا كَمَآءٍ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَٱخْتَلَطَ بِهِۦ نَبَاتُ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَأَصْبَحَ هَشِيمًا تَذْرُوهُ ٱلرِّيَـٰحُ ۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مُّقْتَدِرًا

    Wadrib lahum mathalal-hayatid-dunya kama'in anzalnahu minas-sama'i fakhtalata bihi nabatul-ardi fa-asbaha hashiman tadhruhur-riyah, wa kanal-lahu 'ala kulli shay'im-muqtadira

    And coin for them the similitude of the life of the world as water which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it and then becomes dry twigs that the winds scatter. Allah is able to do all things.

46. 46

    ٱلْمَالُ وَٱلْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَٱلْبَـٰقِيَـٰتُ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلًا

    Al-malu wal-banuna zinatul-hayatid-dunya, wal-baqiyatus-salihatu khayrun 'inda rabbika thawabaw-wa khayrun amala

    Wealth and children are an ornament of the life of the world. But the good deeds which endure are better in your Lord's sight for reward, and better in respect of hope.

47. 47

    وَيَوْمَ نُسَيِّرُ ٱلْجِبَالَ وَتَرَى ٱلْأَرْضَ بَارِزَةً وَحَشَرْنَـٰهُمْ فَلَمْ نُغَادِرْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا

    Wa yawma nusayyirul-jibala wa taral-arda barizataw-wa hasharnahum falam nughadir minhum ahada

    And (remember) the Day when We remove the hills and you see the earth emerging, and We gather them together so as to leave not one of them behind.

48. 48

    وَعُرِضُوا۟ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ صَفًّا لَّقَدْ جِئْتُمُونَا كَمَا خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۭ ۚ بَلْ زَعَمْتُمْ أَلَّن نَّجْعَلَ لَكُم مَّوْعِدًا

    Wa 'uridu 'ala rabbika saffa, laqad ji'tumuna kama khalaqnakum awwala marrah, bal za'amtum allan naj'ala lakum maw'ida

    And they are set before your Lord in ranks (and it is said to them): Now truly you have come to Us as We created you at the first. But you thought that We had set no appointment for you.

49. 49

    وَوُضِعَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ فَتَرَى ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ مُشْفِقِينَ مِمَّا فِيهِ وَيَقُولُونَ يَـٰوَيْلَتَنَا مَالِ هَـٰذَا ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لَا يُغَادِرُ صَغِيرَةً وَلَا كَبِيرَةً إِلَّآ أَحْصَىٰهَا ۚ وَوَجَدُوا۟ مَا عَمِلُوا۟ حَاضِرًا ۗ وَلَا يَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَدًا

    Wa wudi'al-kitabu fataral-mujrimina mushfiqina mimma fihi wa yaquluna ya waylatana mali hadhal-kitabi la yughadiru saghirataw-wa la kabiratan illa ahsaha, wa wajadu ma 'amilu hadira, wa la yazlimu rabbuka ahada

    And the Book is placed, and you see the guilty fearful of that which is therein, and they say: What kind of a Book is this that leaves not a small thing nor a great thing but has counted it! And they find all that they did confronting them, and your Lord wrongs no-one.

50. 50

    وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِـَٔادَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِۦٓ ۗ أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُۥ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُۥٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِى وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّۢ ۚ بِئْسَ لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ بَدَلًا

    Wa idh qulna lil-mala'ikatis-judu li-adama fasajadu illa iblis, kana minal-jinni fafasaqa 'an amri rabbih, afatattakhidhunahu wa dhurriyyatahu awliya'a min duni wa hum lakum 'aduww, bi'sa lidh-dhalimina badala

    And (remember) when We said to the angels: Fall prostrate before Adam, and they fell prostrate, all except Iblis. He was of the jinn, so he rebelled against his Lord's command. Will you choose him and his seed for your protecting friends instead of Me, when they are an enemy to you? Calamitous is the exchange for evil-doers.

51. 51

    ۞ مَّآ أَشْهَدتُّهُمْ خَلْقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا خَلْقَ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمَا كُنتُ مُتَّخِذَ ٱلْمُضِلِّينَ عَضُدًا

    Ma ash-hadtuhum khalqas-samawati wal-ardi wa la khalqa anfusihim wa ma kuntu muttakhidhal-mudillina 'aduda

    I made them not to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor their own creation; nor choose I misleaders for (My) helpers.

52. 52

    وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ نَادُوا۟ شُرَكَآءِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّوْبِقًا

    Wa yawma yaqulu nadu shuraka'iyal-ladhina za'amtum fada'awhum falam yastajibu lahum wa ja'alna baynahum mawbiqa

    And (be mindful of) the Day when He will say: Call those partners of Mine whom you claimed. Then they will cry to them, but they will not hear their prayer, and We shall set a gulf of doom between them.

53. 53

    وَرَءَا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ٱلنَّارَ فَظَنُّوٓا۟ أَنَّهُم مُّوَاقِعُوهَا وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا۟ عَنْهَا مَصْرِفًا

    Wa ra'al-mujrimunan-nara fazannu annahum muwaqi'uha wa lam yajidu 'anha masrifa

    And the guilty behold the Fire and know that they are about to fall therein, and they find no way of escape from there.

54. 54

    وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِى هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ لِلنَّاسِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَكْثَرَ شَىْءٍ جَدَلًا

    Wa laqad sarrafna fi hadhal-qur'ani lin-nasi min kulli mathal, wa kanal-insanu akthara shay'in jadala

    And truly We have displayed for mankind in this Quran all manner of similitudes, but man is more than anything contentious.

55. 55

    وَمَا مَنَعَ ٱلنَّاسَ أَن يُؤْمِنُوٓا۟ إِذْ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمْ سُنَّةُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ قُبُلًا

    Wa ma mana'an-nasa ay-yu'minu idh ja'ahumul-huda wa yastaghfiru rabbahum illa an ta'tiyahum sunnatul-awwalina aw ya'tiyahumul-'adhabu qubula

    And nothing hinders mankind from believing when the guidance comes to them, and from asking forgiveness of their Lord unless (it be that they wish) that the judgement of the men of old should come upon them or (that) they should be confronted with the Doom.

56. 56

    وَمَا نُرْسِلُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ ۚ وَيُجَـٰدِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوا۟ بِهِ ٱلْحَقَّ ۖ وَٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ ءَايَـٰتِى وَمَآ أُنذِرُوا۟ هُزُوًا

    Wa ma nursilul-mursalina illa mubashshirina wa mundhirin, wa yujadilul-ladhina kafaru bil-batili liyudhidu bihil-haqq, wattakhadhu ayati wa ma undhiru huzuwa

    We do not send the messengers except as bearers of good news and warners. Those who disbelieve contend with falsehood in order to refute the Truth thereby. And they take Our revelations and that wherewith they are threatened as a jest.

57. 57

    وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن ذُكِّرَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِۦ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا وَنَسِىَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ ۚ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًا ۖ وَإِن تَدْعُهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰ فَلَن يَهْتَدُوٓا۟ إِذًا أَبَدًا

    Wa man azlamu mimman dhukkira bi-ayati rabbihi fa-a'rada 'anha wa nasiya ma qaddamat yadah, inna ja'alna 'ala qulubihim akinnatan ay-yafqahuhu wa fi adhanihim waqra, wa in tad'uhum ilal-huda falay-yahtadu idhan abada

    And who does greater wrong than he who has been reminded of the revelations of his Lord, yet turns away from them and forgets what his hands send forward (to the Judgement)? Indeed, on their hearts We have placed coverings so that they do not understand, and in their ears a deafness. And though you call them to the guidance, in that case they can never be led aright.

58. 58

    وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ذُو ٱلرَّحْمَةِ ۖ لَوْ يُؤَاخِذُهُم بِمَا كَسَبُوا۟ لَعَجَّلَ لَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ۚ بَل لَّهُم مَّوْعِدٌ لَّن يَجِدُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦ مَوْئِلًا

    Wa rabbukal-ghafuru dhur-rahmah, law yu'akhidhuhum bima kasabu la'ajjala lahumul-'adhab, bal lahum maw'idul-lay-yajidu min dunihi maw'ila

    Your Lord is the Forgiver, Full of Mercy. If He took them to task (now) for what they earn, He would hasten on the doom for them; but theirs is an appointed term from which they will find no escape.

59. 59

    وَتِلْكَ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهُمْ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوا۟ وَجَعَلْنَا لِمَهْلِكِهِم مَّوْعِدًا

    Wa tilkal-qura ahlaknahum lamma zalamu wa ja'alna limahlikihim maw'ida

    And (all) those townships! We destroyed them when they did wrong, and We appointed a fixed time for their destruction.

Verses 60 to 82: Musa (Moses) and al-Khidr

60. 60

    وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِفَتَىٰهُ لَآ أَبْرَحُ حَتَّىٰٓ أَبْلُغَ مَجْمَعَ ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ أَوْ أَمْضِىَ حُقُبًا

    Wa idh qala musa lifatahu la abrahu hatta ablugha majma'al-bahrayni aw amdiya huquba

    And when Moses said to his servant: I will not give up until I reach the point where the two seas meet, though I march on for ages.

61. 61

    فَلَمَّا بَلَغَا مَجْمَعَ بَيْنِهِمَا نَسِيَا حُوتَهُمَا فَٱتَّخَذَ سَبِيلَهُۥ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ سَرَبًا

    Falamma balagha majma'a baynihima nasiya hutahuma fattakhadha sabilahu fil-bahri saraba

    And when they reached the point where the two met, they forgot their fish, and it took its way into the waters, being free.

62. 62

    فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَا قَالَ لِفَتَىٰهُ ءَاتِنَا غَدَآءَنَا لَقَدْ لَقِينَا مِن سَفَرِنَا هَـٰذَا نَصَبًا

    Falamma jawaza qala lifatahu atina ghada'ana laqad laqina min safarina hadha nasaba

    And when they had gone further, he said to his servant: Bring us our breakfast. Truly we have found fatigue in this our journey.

63. 63

    قَالَ أَرَءَيْتَ إِذْ أَوَيْنَآ إِلَى ٱلصَّخْرَةِ فَإِنِّى نَسِيتُ ٱلْحُوتَ وَمَآ أَنسَىٰنِيهُ إِلَّا ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ أَنْ أَذْكُرَهُۥ ۚ وَٱتَّخَذَ سَبِيلَهُۥ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ عَجَبًا

    Qala ara'ayta idh awayna ilas-sakhrati fa-inni nasitul-huta wa ma ansanihu illash-shaytanu an adhkurah, wattakhadha sabilahu fil-bahri 'ajaba

    He said: Did you see, when we took refuge on the rock, and I forgot the fish - and none but Satan caused me to forget to mention it - it took its way into the waters by a marvel.

64. 64

    قَالَ ذَٰلِكَ مَا كُنَّا نَبْغِ ۚ فَٱرْتَدَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًا

    Qala dhalika ma kunna nabgh, fartadda 'ala atharihima qasasa

    He said: This is that which we have been seeking. So they retraced their steps again.

65. 65

    فَوَجَدَا عَبْدًا مِّنْ عِبَادِنَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِنَا وَعَلَّمْنَـٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّا عِلْمًا

    Fawajada 'abdam-min 'ibadina ataynahu rahmatam-min 'indina wa 'allamnahu mil-ladunna 'ilma

    Then they found one of Our slaves, to whom We had given mercy from Us, and had taught him knowledge from Our presence.

66. 66

    قَالَ لَهُۥ مُوسَىٰ هَلْ أَتَّبِعُكَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن تُعَلِّمَنِ مِمَّا عُلِّمْتَ رُشْدًا

    Qala lahu musa hal attabi'uka 'ala an tu'allimani mimma 'ullimta rushda

    Moses said to him: May I follow you, to the end that you may teach me right conduct of that which you have been taught?

67. 67

    قَالَ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسْتَطِيعَ مَعِىَ صَبْرًا

    Qala innaka lan tastati'a ma'iya sabra

    He said: Indeed, you cannot bear with me.

68. 68

    وَكَيْفَ تَصْبِرُ عَلَىٰ مَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِۦ خُبْرًا

    Wa kayfa tasbiru 'ala ma lam tuhit bihi khubra

    How can you bear with that whereof you cannot compass any knowledge?

69. 69

    قَالَ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ صَابِرًا وَلَآ أَعْصِى لَكَ أَمْرًا

    Qala satajiduni in sha'al-lahu sabiraw-wa la a'si laka amra

    He said: Allah willing, you shall find me patient and I shall not disobey you in anything.

70. 70

    قَالَ فَإِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتَنِى فَلَا تَسْـَٔلْنِى عَن شَىْءٍ حَتَّىٰٓ أُحْدِثَ لَكَ مِنْهُ ذِكْرًا

    Qala fa-inittaba'tani fala tas'alni 'an shay'in hatta uhditha laka minhu dhikra

    He said: Well, if you go with me, ask me not concerning anything till I myself make mention of it to you.

71. 71

    فَٱنطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَكِبَا فِى ٱلسَّفِينَةِ خَرَقَهَا ۖ قَالَ أَخَرَقْتَهَا لِتُغْرِقَ أَهْلَهَا لَقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْـًٔا إِمْرًا

75. Juz 16 begins

    Qala alam aqul laka innaka lan tastati'a ma'iya sabra

    He said: Did I not tell you that you could not bear with me?

76. 76

    قَالَ إِن سَأَلْتُكَ عَن شَىْءٍۭ بَعْدَهَا فَلَا تُصَـٰحِبْنِى ۖ قَدْ بَلَغْتَ مِن لَّدُنِّى عُذْرًا

    So the two of them journeyed on till, when they came to the folk of a certain township, they asked its folk for food, but they refused to make them guests.

78. 78

    قَالَ هَـٰذَا فِرَاقُ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنِكَ ۚ سَأُنَبِّئُكَ بِتَأْوِيلِ مَا لَمْ تَسْتَطِع عَّلَيْهِ صَبْرًا

79. 79

    أَمَّا ٱلسَّفِينَةُ فَكَانَتْ لِمَسَـٰكِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ فَأَرَدتُّ أَنْ أَعِيبَهَا وَكَانَ وَرَآءَهُم مَّلِكٌ يَأْخُذُ كُلَّ سَفِينَةٍ غَصْبًا

    Ammas-safinatu fakanat limasakina ya'maluna fil-bahri fa-aradtu an a'ibaha wa kana wara'ahum malikuy-ya'khudhu kulla safinatin ghasba

    As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working at sea, and I wished to mar it, for there was a king behind them who is taking every ship by force.

80. 80

    وَأَمَّا ٱلْغُلَـٰمُ فَكَانَ أَبَوَاهُ مُؤْمِنَيْنِ فَخَشِينَآ أَن يُرْهِقَهُمَا طُغْيَـٰنًا وَكُفْرًا

    Wa ammal-ghulamu fakana abawahu mu'minayni fakhashina ay-yurhiqahuma tughyanaw-wa kufra

    And as for the lad, his parents were believers and we feared lest he should oppress them by rebellion and disbelief.

81. 81

    فَأَرَدْنَآ أَن يُبْدِلَهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا خَيْرًا مِّنْهُ زَكَوٰةً وَأَقْرَبَ رُحْمًا

    Fa-aradna ay-yubdilahuma rabbuhuma khayram-minhu zakataw-wa aqraba ruhma

    And we intended that their Lord should change him for them for one better in purity and nearer to mercy.

82. 82

    وَأَمَّا ٱلْجِدَارُ فَكَانَ لِغُلَـٰمَيْنِ يَتِيمَيْنِ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَ تَحْتَهُۥ كَنزٌ لَّهُمَا وَكَانَ أَبُوهُمَا صَـٰلِحًا فَأَرَادَ رَبُّكَ أَن يَبْلُغَآ أَشُدَّهُمَا وَيَسْتَخْرِجَا كَنزَهُمَا رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ وَمَا فَعَلْتُهُۥ عَنْ أَمْرِى ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَأْوِيلُ مَا لَمْ تَسْطِع عَّلَيْهِ صَبْرًا

    Wa ammal-jidaru fakana lighulamayni yatimayni fil-madinati wa kana tahtahu kanzul-lahuma wa kana abuhuma saliha, fa-arada rabbuka ay-yablugha ashuddahuma wa yastakhrija kanzahuma rahmatam-mir-rabbik, wa ma fa'altuhu 'an amri, dhalika ta'wilu ma lam tasti' 'alayhi sabra

    And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure belonging to them, and their father had been righteous, and your Lord intended that they should come to their full strength and should bring forth their treasure as a mercy from their Lord; and I did it not upon my own command. Such is the interpretation of that which you could not bear.

Verses 83 to 98: Dhul-Qarnayn

83. 83

    وَأَمَّا مَنْ ءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا فَلَهُۥ جَزَآءً ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ۖ وَسَنَقُولُ لَهُۥ مِنْ أَمْرِنَا يُسْرًا

    Wa amma man amana wa 'amila salihan falahu jaza'anil-husna, wa sanaqulu lahu min amrina yusra

91. 91

    كَذَٰلِكَ وَقَدْ أَحَطْنَا بِمَا لَدَيْهِ خُبْرًا

106. 106

     ذَٰلِكَ جَزَآؤُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ بِمَا كَفَرُوا۟ وَٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ ءَايَـٰتِى وَرُسُلِى هُزُوًا

     Khalidina fiha la yabghuna 'anha hiwala

     Wherein they will abide, with no desire to be removed from there.

     Qul innama ana basharum-mithlukum yuha ilayya annama ilahukum ilahuw-wahid, faman kana yarju liqa'a rabbihi falya'mal 'amalan salihaw-wa la yushrik bi'ibadati rabbihi ahada

     Say: I am only a mortal like you. My Lord inspires in me that your God is only One God. And whoever hopes for the meeting with his Lord, let him do righteous work, and make none sharer of the worship due to his Lord.
