Al-Hijr
Saheeh International
1. Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the Book and a clear Qur'an
2. Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish that they had been Muslims
3. Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know
4. And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree
5. No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter
6. And they say, "O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad
7. Why do you not bring us the angels, if you should be among the truthful
8. We do not send down the angels except with truth; and the disbelievers would not then be reprieved
9. Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian
10. And We had certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muhammad], among the sects of the former peoples
11. And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him
12. Thus do We insert denial into the hearts of the criminals
13. They will not believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former peoples
14. And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend
15. They would say, "Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic
16. And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers
17. And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allah]
18. Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame
19. And the earth - We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing
20. And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers
21. And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known measure
22. And We have sent the fertilizing winds and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers
23. And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor
24. And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come]
25. And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing
26. And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud
27. And the jinn We created before from scorching fire
28. And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud
29. And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration
30. So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely
31. Except Iblees, he refused to be with those who prostrated
32. [Allah] said, O Iblees, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate
33. He said, "Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud
34. [Allah] said, "Then get out of it, for indeed, you are expelled
35. And indeed, upon you is the curse until the Day of Recompense
36. He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected
37. [Allah] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved
38. Until the Day of the time well-known
39. [Iblees] said, "My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make [disobedience] attractive to them on earth, and I will mislead them all
40. Except, among them, Your chosen servants
41. [Allah] said, "This is a path [of return] to Me [that is] straight
42. Indeed, My servants - no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators
43. And indeed, Hell is the promised place for them all
44. It has seven gates; for every gate is of them a portion designated
45. Indeed, the righteous will be within gardens and springs
46. [Having been told], "Enter it in peace, safe [and secure]
47. And We will remove whatever is in their breasts of resentment, [so they will be] brothers, on thrones facing each other
48. No fatigue will touch them therein, nor from it will they [ever] be removed
49. [O Muhammad], inform My servants that it is I who am the Forgiving, the Merciful
50. And that it is My punishment which is the painful punishment
51. And inform them about the guests of Abraham
52. When they entered upon him and said, "Peace." [Abraham] said, "Indeed, we are fearful of you
53. [The angels] said, "Fear not. Indeed, we give you good tidings of a learned boy
54. He said, "Have you given me good tidings although old age has come upon me? Then of what [wonder] do you inform
55. They said, "We have given you good tidings in truth, so do not be of the despairing
56. He said, "And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray
57. [Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers
58. They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals
59. Except the family of Lot; indeed, we will save them all
60. Except his wife." Allah decreed that she is of those who remain behind
61. And when the messengers came to the family of Lot
62. He said, "Indeed, you are people unknown
63. They said, "But we have come to you with that about which they were disputing
64. And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful
65. So set out with your family during a portion of the night and follow behind them and let not anyone among you look back and continue on to where you are commanded
66. And We conveyed to him [the decree] of that matter: that those [sinners] would be eliminated by early morning
67. And the people of the city came rejoicing
68. [Lot] said, "Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me
69. And fear Allah and do not disgrace me
70. They said, "Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people
71. [Lot] said, "These are my daughters - if you would be doers [of lawful marriage]
72. By your life, [O Muhammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly
73. So the shriek seized them at sunrise
74. And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay
75. Indeed in that are signs for those who discern
76. And indeed, those cities are [situated] on an established road
77. Indeed in that is a sign for the believers
78. And the companions of the thicket were [also] wrongdoers
79. So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway
80. And certainly did the companions of Thamud deny the messengers
81. And We gave them Our signs, but from them they were turning away
82. And they used to carve from the mountains, houses, feeling secure
83. But the shriek seized them at early morning
84. So nothing availed them [from] what they used to earn
85. And We have not created the heavens and earth and that between them except in truth. And indeed, the Hour is coming; so forgive with gracious forgiveness
86. Indeed, your Lord - He is the Knowing Creator
87. And We have certainly given you, [O Muhammad], seven of the often repeated [verses] and the great Qur'an
88. Do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [certain] categories of the disbelievers, and do not grieve over them. And lower your wing to the believers
89. And say, "Indeed, I am the clear warner
90. Just as We had revealed [scriptures] to the separators
91. Who have made the Qur'an into portions
92. So by your Lord, We will surely question them all
93. About what they used to do
94. Then declare what you are commanded and turn away from the polytheists
95. Indeed, We are sufficient for you against the mockers
96. Who make [equal] with Allah another deity. But they are going to know
97. And We already know that your breast is constrained by what they say
98. So exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate [to Him]
99. And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty (death)
