اِقۡتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمۡ وَهُمۡ فِىۡ غَفۡلَةٍ مُّعۡرِضُوۡنَ ۙ‏ ١

21:1

The time of their account has drawn near for the people, while they are heedless and turning away.

مَا يَاۡتِيۡهِمۡ مِّنۡ ذِكۡرٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّهِمۡ مُّحۡدَثٍ اِلَّا اسۡتَمَعُوۡهُ وَهُمۡ يَلۡعَبُوۡنَ ۙ‏ ٢

21:2

No new reminder comes to them from their Lord except that they listen to it while they are at play.

لَاهِيَةً قُلُوۡبُهُمۡ‌ ؕ وَاَسَرُّوا النَّجۡوٰى الَّذِيۡنَ ظَلَمُوۡا هَلۡ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثۡلُكُمۡ‌ ۚ اَفَتَاۡتُوۡنَ السِّحۡرَ وَاَنۡتُمۡ تُبۡصِرُوۡنَ‏ ٣

21:3

With their hearts distracted. And those who wronged conceal their private talk, [saying], "Is this [Muhammad] but a human being like yourselves? Do you [still] approach magic while you see it?"

قَالَ رَبِّىۡ يَعۡلَمُ الۡقَوۡلَ فِى السَّمَآءِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ‌ ۖ وَهُوَ السَّمِيۡعُ الۡعَلِيۡمُ‏ ٤

21:4

[The Prophet] said, "My Lord knows [every] statement in the heaven and [on] the earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing."

بَلۡ قَالُوۡۤا اَضۡغَاثُ اَحۡلَامٍ بَلِ افۡتَرٰٮهُ بَلۡ هُوَ شَاعِرٌ‌ ۚ فَلۡيَاۡتِنَا بِاٰيَةٍ كَمَاۤ اُرۡسِلَ الۡاَوَّلُوۡنَ‏ ٥

21:5

Rather, they say, "[The Qur'an is but] a mixture of false dreams; rather, he has invented it; rather, he is a poet. So let him bring us a sign just as the previous [messengers] were sent [with signs]."

مَاۤ اٰمَنَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ مِّنۡ قَرۡيَةٍ اَهۡلَكۡنٰهَا ۚ اَفَهُمۡ يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ‏ ٦

21:6

Not a [single] city which We destroyed before them believed [in signs]; so will they believe?

وَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنَا قَبۡلَكَ اِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوۡحِىۡۤ اِلَيۡهِمۡ‌ ۚ فَسۡـَٔلُوۡۤا اَهۡلَ الذِّكۡرِ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ‏ ٧

21:7

And We sent not before you except men to whom We revealed [the message]. So ask the people of the message if you do not know.

وَمَا جَعَلۡنٰهُمۡ جَسَدًا لَّا يَاۡكُلُوۡنَ الطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُوۡا خٰلِدِيۡنَ‏ ٨

21:8

And We did not make the Prophets bodies that did not eat food, nor were they immortal [on earth].

ثُمَّ صَدَقۡنٰهُمُ الۡوَعۡدَ فَاَنۡجَيۡنٰهُمۡ وَمَنۡ نَّشَآءُ وَاَهۡلَكۡنَا الۡمُسۡرِفِيۡنَ‏ ٩

21:9

Then We fulfilled for them the promise, and We saved them and whom We willed and destroyed the transgressors.

لَقَدۡ اَنۡزَلۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡكُمۡ كِتٰبًا فِيۡهِ ذِكۡرُكُمۡ‌ ؕ اَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ‏ ١٠

21:10

We have certainly sent down to you a Book in which is your mention. Then will you not reason?

وَكَمۡ قَصَمۡنَا مِنۡ قَرۡيَةٍ كَانَتۡ ظَالِمَةً وَّاَنۡشَاۡنَا بَعۡدَهَا قَوۡمًا اٰخَرِيۡنَ‏ ١١

21:11

And how many a city have We shattered that was committing wrong, and established after it another people?

فَلَمَّاۤ اَحَسُّوۡا بَاۡسَنَاۤ اِذَا هُمۡ مِّنۡهَا يَرۡكُضُوۡنَ‏ ١٢

21:12

And when they sensed Our punishment, immediately they were fleeing from it.

لَا تَرۡكُضُوۡا وَارۡجِعُوۡۤا اِلٰى مَاۤ اُتۡرِفۡتُمۡ فِيۡهِ وَمَسٰكِنِكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُسۡـَٔلُوۡنَ‏ ١٣

21:13

[Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes, that you may be questioned."

قَالُوۡا يٰوَيۡلَنَاۤ اِنَّا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ ١٤

21:14

They said, "O woe to us! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

فَمَا زَالَتۡ تِّلۡكَ دَعۡوٰٮهُمۡ حَتّٰى جَعَلۡنٰهُمۡ حَصِيۡدًا خٰمِدِيۡنَ‏ ١٥

21:15

And that continued to be their cry until We made them [as] harvested fields, extinguished [like a fire].

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا السَّمَآءَ وَالۡاَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا لٰعِبِيۡنَ‏ ١٦

21:16

And We did not create the heaven and earth and what is between them in play.

لَوۡ اَرَدۡنَاۤ اَنۡ نَّتَّخِذَ لَهۡوًا لَّاتَّخَذۡنٰهُ مِنۡ لَّدُنَّاۤ ‌ۖ اِنۡ كُنَّا فٰعِلِيۡنَ‏ ١٧

21:17

If We had intended to take a diversion, We could have taken it from [what is] with Us - if [indeed] We were to do so.

بَلۡ نَقۡذِفُ بِالۡحَقِّ عَلَى الۡبَاطِلِ فَيَدۡمَغُهٗ فَاِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌ‌ ؕ وَلَكُمُ الۡوَيۡلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُوۡنَ‏ ١٨

21:18

Rather, We strike [thus] with the truth at falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it vanishes. And for you is destruction from that which you describe.

وَلَهٗ مَنۡ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ‌ ؕ وَمَنۡ عِنۡدَهٗ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُوۡنَ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِهٖ وَلَا يَسۡتَحۡسِرُوۡنَ‏ ١٩

21:19

And to Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those near Him are not too proud to worship Him, nor do they tire.

يُسَبِّحُوۡنَ الَّيۡلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لَا يَفۡتُرُوۡنَ‏ ٢٠

21:20

They glorify [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken.

اَمِ اتَّخَذُوۡۤا اٰلِهَةً مِّنَ الۡاَرۡضِ هُمۡ يُنۡشِرُوۡنَ‏ ٢١

21:21

Or have they taken gods from the earth who resurrect [the dead]?

لَوۡ كَانَ فِيۡهِمَاۤ اٰلِهَةٌ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ لَفَسَدَتَا‌ ۚ فَسُبۡحٰنَ اللّٰهِ رَبِّ الۡعَرۡشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُوۡنَ‏ ٢٢

21:22

Had there been within the heavens and earth gods besides Allah, they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allah, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.

لَا يُسۡـَٔلُ عَمَّا يَفۡعَلُ وَهُمۡ يُسۡـَٔلُوۡنَ‏ ٢٣

21:23

He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.

اَمِ اتَّخَذُوۡا مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖۤ اٰلِهَةً‌ ؕ قُلۡ هَاتُوۡا بُرۡهَانَكُمۡ‌ ۚ هٰذَا ذِكۡرُ مَنۡ مَّعِىَ وَذِكۡرُ مَنۡ قَبۡلِىۡ‌ ؕ بَلۡ اَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ الۡحَقَّ فَهُمۡ مُّعۡرِضُوۡنَ‏ ٢٤

21:24

Or have they taken gods besides Him? Say, [O Muhammad], "Produce your proof. This [Qur'an] is the message of those with me and the message of those before me." But most of them do not know the truth, so they are turning away.

وَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنَا مِنۡ قَبۡلِكَ مِنۡ رَّسُوۡلٍ اِلَّا نُوۡحِىۡۤ اِلَيۡهِ اَنَّهٗ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّاۤ اَنَا فَا فَاعۡبُدُوۡنِ‏ ٢٥

21:25

And We did not send before you any messenger except that We revealed to him that [there is] no deity except Me, so worship Me.

وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحۡمٰنُ وَلَدًا‌ ؕ سُبۡحٰنَهٗ ؕ بَلۡ عِبَادٌ مُّكۡرَمُوۡنَ‏ ٢٦

21:26

And they say, "The Most Gracious has taken a son." Exalted is He! Rather, they are [but] honored servants [of Allah].

لَا يَسۡبِقُوۡنَهٗ بِالۡقَوۡلِ وَهُمۡ بِاَمۡرِهٖ يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ‏ ٢٧

21:27

They cannot precede Him in word, and they act by His command.

يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ اَيۡدِيۡهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ وَلَا يَشۡفَعُوۡنَ اِلَّا لِمَنِ ارۡتَضٰى وَهُمۡ مِّنۡ خَشۡيَتِهٖ مُشۡفِقُوۡنَ‏ ٢٨

21:28

He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they cannot intercede except for one whom He approves, and they are from fear of Him apprehensive.

وَمَنۡ يَّقُلۡ مِنۡهُمۡ اِنِّىۡۤ اِلٰهٌ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِهٖ فَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِيۡهِ جَهَنَّمَ‌ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِى الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ ٢٩

21:29

And whoever of them should say, "Indeed, I am a god besides Him," - that one We would recompense with Hell. Thus do We recompense the wrongdoers.

اَوَلَمۡ يَرَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡۤا اَنَّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ كَانَتَا رَتۡقًا فَفَتَقۡنٰهُمَا‌ ؕ وَجَعَلۡنَا مِنَ الۡمَآءِ كُلَّ شَىۡءٍ حَىٍّ‌ ؕ اَفَلَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ‏ ٣٠

21:30

Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them, and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?

وَجَعَلۡنَا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ رَوَاسِىَ اَنۡ تَمِيۡدَ بِهِمۡ ۖ وَجَعَلۡنَا فِيۡهَا فِجَاجًا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّهُمۡ يَهۡتَدُوۡنَ‏ ٣١

21:31

And We placed within the earth firmly set mountains, lest it should shift with them, and We made therein [mountain] passes as roads that they might be guided.

وَجَعَلۡنَا السَّمَآءَ سَقۡفًا مَّحۡفُوۡظًا ۚ وَّهُمۡ عَنۡ اٰيٰتِهَا مُعۡرِضُوۡنَ‏ ٣٢

21:32

And We made the sky a protected ceiling; but they, from its signs, are turning away.

وَهُوَ الَّذِىۡ خَلَقَ الَّيۡلَ وَالنَّهَارَ وَالشَّمۡسَ وَالۡقَمَرَ‌ ؕ كُلٌّ فِىۡ فَلَكٍ يَّسۡبَحُوۡنَ‏ ٣٣

21:33

And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all in an orbit are swimming.

وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا لِبَشَرٍ مِّنۡ قَبۡلِكَ الۡخُلۡدَ‌ ؕ اَفَا۟ٮِٕنۡ مِّتَّ فَهُمُ الۡخٰلِدُوۡنَ‏ ٣٤

21:34

And We did not grant to any human being before you immortality; so if you die, would they be immortal?

كُلُّ نَفۡسٍ ذَآٮِٕقَةُ الۡمَوۡتِ‌ ؕ وَنَبۡلُوۡكُمۡ بِالشَّرِّ وَالۡخَيۡرِ فِتۡنَةً‌ ؕ وَاِلَيۡنَا تُرۡجَعُوۡنَ‏ ٣٥

21:35

Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned.

وَاِذَا رَاٰكَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡۤا اِنۡ يَّتَّخِذُوۡنَكَ اِلَّا هُزُوًا ؕ اَهٰذَا الَّذِىۡ يَذۡكُرُ اٰلِهَتَكُمۡ ۚ وَهُمۡ بِذِكۡرِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ هُمۡ كٰفِرُوۡنَ‏ ٣٦

21:36

And when those who disbelieve see you, they take you not except as a mockery, [saying], "Is this the one who remembers your gods?" And they, at the mention of the Most Gracious, are disbelievers.

خُلِقَ الۡاِنۡسَانُ مِنۡ عَجَلٍ‌ ؕ سَاُورِيۡكُمۡ اٰيٰتِىۡ فَلَا تَسۡتَعۡجِلُوۡنِ‏ ٣٧

21:37

Mankind was created of haste. I will show you My signs, so do not impatiently rush Me.

وَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الۡوَعۡدُ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ صٰدِقِيۡنَ‏ ٣٨

21:38

And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"

لَوۡ يَعۡلَمُ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا حِيۡنَ لَا يَكُفُّوۡنَ عَنۡ وُجُوۡهِهِمُ النَّارَ وَلَا عَنۡ ظُهُوۡرِهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنۡصَرُوۡنَ‏ ٣٩

21:39

If those who disbelieved but knew the time when they will not be able to ward off the Fire from their faces or from their backs, nor will they be helped.

بَلۡ تَاۡتِيۡهِمۡ بَغۡتَةً فَتَبۡهَتُهُمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيۡعُوۡنَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمۡ يُنۡظَرُوۡنَ‏ ٤٠

21:40

Rather, it will come to them unexpectedly and will overwhelm them, so they will not be able to repel it, nor will they be reprieved.

وَلَقَدِ اسۡتُهۡزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّنۡ قَبۡلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِالَّذِيۡنَ سَخِرُوۡا مِنۡهُمۡ مَّا كَانُوۡا بِهٖ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُوۡنَ‏ ٤١

21:41

And already were messengers ridiculed before you, but those who scoffed at them were encompassed by that which they used to ridicule.

قُلۡ مَنۡ يَّكۡلَاُوۡكُمۡ بِالَّيۡلِ وَالنَّهَارِ مِنَ الرَّحۡمٰنِ‌ ؕ بَلۡ هُمۡ عَنۡ ذِكۡرِ رَبِّهِمۡ مُّعۡرِضُوۡنَ‏ ٤٢

21:42

Say, "Who can protect you at night or by day from the Most Gracious?" But they are, from the remembrance of their Lord, turning away.

اَمۡ لَهُمۡ اٰلِهَةٌ تَمۡنَعُهُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِنَا‌ ؕ لَا يَسۡتَطِيۡعُوۡنَ نَصۡرَ اَنۡفُسِهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ مِّنَّا يُصۡحَبُوۡنَ‏ ٤٣

21:43

Or do they have gods besides Us that can protect them? They are unable to help themselves, nor can they be protected from Us.

بَلۡ مَتَّعۡنَا هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ وَاٰبَآءَهُمۡ حَتّٰى طَالَ عَلَيۡهِمُ الۡعُمُرُ‌ ؕ اَفَلَا يَرَوۡنَ اَنَّا نَاۡتِى الۡاَرۡضَ نَنۡقُصُهَا مِنۡ اَطۡرَافِهَا‌ ؕ اَفَهُمُ الۡغٰلِبُوۡنَ‏ ٤٤

21:44

But [instead], We gave enjoyment to these [people] and their fathers until the lifespan was prolonged for them. Do they not see that We set upon the land, reducing it from its borders? So are they the victors?

قُلۡ اِنَّمَاۤ اُنۡذِرُكُمۡ بِالۡوَحۡىِ‌ ۚ وَلَا يَسۡمَعُ الصُّمُّ الدُّعَآءَ اِذَا مَا يُنۡذَرُوۡنَ‏ ٤٥

21:45

Say, [O Muhammad], "I only warn you by revelation." But the deaf do not hear the call when they are warned.

وَلَئِنۡ مَّسَّتۡهُمۡ نَفۡحَةٌ مِّنۡ عَذَابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُوۡلُنَّ يٰوَيۡلَنَاۤ اِنَّا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ ٤٦

21:46

And if [as much as] a whiff of the punishment of your Lord should touch them, they would surely say, "O woe to us! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

وَنَضَعُ الۡمَوَازِيۡنَ الۡقِسۡطَ لِيَوۡمِ الۡقِيٰمَةِ فَلَا تُظۡلَمُ نَفۡسٌ شَىۡئًـا‌ ؕ وَاِنۡ كَانَ مِثۡقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنۡ خَرۡدَلٍ اَتَيۡنَا بِهَا‌ ؕ وَكَفٰى بِنَا حٰسِبِيۡنَ‏ ٤٧

21:47

And We will set up the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be treated unjustly at all. And if there is [even] the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountant.

وَلَقَدۡ اٰتَيۡنَا مُوۡسٰى وَهٰرُوۡنَ الۡفُرۡقَانَ وَضِيَآءً وَّذِكۡرًا لِّلۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ‏ ٤٨

21:48

And We had already given Moses and Aaron the Criterion and a light and a reminder for the righteous.

الَّذِيۡنَ يَخۡشَوۡنَ رَبَّهُمۡ بِالۡغَيۡبِ وَهُمۡ مِّنَ السَّاعَةِ مُشۡفِقُوۡنَ‏ ٤٩

21:49

Who fear their Lord unseen, while they are of the Hour apprehensive.

وَهٰذَا ذِكۡرٌ مُّبٰرَكٌ اَنۡزَلۡنٰهُ‌ ؕ اَفَاَنۡتُمۡ لَهٗ مُنۡكِرُوۡنَ‏ ٥٠

21:50

And this [Qur'an] is a blessed reminder which We have sent down. Then are you [to be] rejecters of it?

وَلَقَدۡ اٰتَيۡنَاۤ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ رُشۡدَهٗ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ وَكُنَّا بِهٖ عٰلِمِيۡنَ‌ ۚ‏ ٥١

21:51

And We had certainly given Abraham his sound judgment before, and We were of him well-Knowing.

اِذۡ قَالَ لِاَبِيۡهِ وَقَوۡمِهٖ مَا هٰذِهِ التَّمَاثِيۡلُ الَّتِىۡۤ اَنۡتُمۡ لَهَا عٰكِفُوۡنَ‏ ٥٢

21:52

When he said to his father and his people, "What are these images to which you are devoutly clinging?"

قَالُوۡا وَجَدۡنَاۤ اٰبَآءَنَا لَهَا عٰبِدِيۡنَ‏ ٥٣

21:53

They said, "We found our fathers worshipping them."

قَالَ لَقَدۡ كُنۡتُمۡ اَنۡتُمۡ وَاٰبَآؤُكُمۡ فِىۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ‏ ٥٤

21:54

He said, "You and your fathers have certainly been in manifest error."

قَالُوۡۤا اَجِئۡتَنَا بِالۡحَقِّ اَمۡ اَنۡتَ مِنَ اللّٰعِبِيۡنَ‏ ٥٥

21:55

They said, "Have you brought us the truth, or are you one of those who jest?"

قَالَ بَلۡ رَّبُّكُمۡ رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ الَّذِىۡ فَطَرَهُنَّ‌ۖ وَاَنَا عَلٰى ذٰ لِكُمۡ مِّنَ الشّٰهِدِيۡنَ‏ ٥٦

21:56

He said, "[No], rather, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth who created them, and I, to that, am of those who testify."

وَتَاللّٰهِ لَاَكِيۡدَنَّ اَصۡنَامَكُمۡ بَعۡدَ اَنۡ تُوَلُّوۡا مُدۡبِرِيۡنَ‏ ٥٧

21:57

And [I swear] by Allah, I will surely plan against your idols after you have turned and gone away."

فَجَعَلَهُمۡ جُذٰذًا اِلَّا كَبِيۡرًا لَّهُمۡ لَعَلَّهُمۡ اِلَيۡهِ يَرۡجِعُوۡنَ‏ ٥٨

21:58

So he made them into fragments, except for a large one among them, that they might return to it [and question it].

قَالُوۡا مَنۡ فَعَلَ هٰذَا بِاٰلِهَتِنَاۤ اِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ ٥٩

21:59

They said, "Who has done this to our gods? Indeed, he is one of the wrongdoers."

قَالُوۡا سَمِعۡنَا فَتًى يَّذۡكُرُهُمۡ يُقَالُ لَهٗۤ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمُ ؕ‏ ٦٠

21:60

Some said, "We heard a youth mention them who is called Abraham."

قَالُوۡا فَاۡتُوۡا بِهٖ عَلٰٓى اَعۡيُنِ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَشۡهَدُوۡنَ‏ ٦١

21:61

They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people, that they may testify."

قَالُوۡۤا ءَاَنۡتَ فَعَلۡتَ هٰذَا بِاٰلِهَتِنَا يٰۤاِبۡرٰهِيۡمُؕ‏ ٦٢

21:62

They said, "Are you the one who did this to our gods, O Abraham?"

قَالَ بَلۡ فَعَلَهٗ ۙ كَبِيۡرُهُمۡ هٰذَا فَسۡـَٔلُوۡهُمۡ اِنۡ كَانُوۡا يَنۡطِقُوۡنَ‏ ٦٣

21:63

He said, "Rather, this largest of them did it, so ask them, if they should [be able to] speak."

فَرَجَعُوۡۤا اِلٰٓى اَنۡفُسِهِمۡ فَقَالُوۡۤا اِنَّكُمۡ اَنۡتُمُ الظّٰلِمُوۡنَۙ‏ ٦٤

21:64

So they returned to [blaming] themselves and said, "Indeed, you yourselves are the wrongdoers."

ثُمَّ نُكِسُوۡا عَلٰى رُءُوۡسِهِمۡ‌ ۚ لَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتَ مَا هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ يَنۡطِقُوۡنَ‏ ٦٥

21:65

Then they were made to revert to their [former] way of thinking, [and said], "You have already known that these do not speak!"

قَالَ اَفَتَعۡبُدُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَنۡفَعُكُمۡ شَيۡئًـا وَّلَا يَضُرُّكُمۡ‌ ؕ‏ ٦٦

21:66

He said, "Then do you worship instead of Allah that which does not benefit you at all or harm you?

اُفٍّ لَّكُمۡ وَلِمَا تَعۡبُدُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ‌ ؕ اَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ‏ ٦٧

21:67

Uff to you and to what you worship instead of Allah. Then will you not reason?"

قَالُوۡا حَرِّقُوۡهُ وَانْصُرُوۡۤا اٰلِهَتَكُمۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ فٰعِلِيۡنَ‏ ٦٨

21:68

They said, "Burn him and support your gods, if you are to act."

قُلۡنَا يٰنَارُ كُوۡنِىۡ بَرۡدًا وَّسَلٰمًا عَلٰٓى اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَۙ‏ ٦٩

21:69

We said, "O fire, be cool and [a means of] safety upon Abraham."

وَاَرَادُوۡا بِهٖ كَيۡدًا فَجَعَلۡنٰهُمُ الۡاَخۡسَرِيۡنَ‏ ٧٠

21:70

And they intended for him harm, but We made them the greatest losers.

وَنَجَّيۡنٰهُ وَلُوۡطًا اِلَى الۡاَرۡضِ الَّتِىۡ بٰرَكۡنَا فِيۡهَا لِلۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ‏ ٧١

21:71

And We delivered him and Lot to the land which We had blessed for the worlds.

وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهٗۤ اِسۡحٰقَ ‌ۙ وَيَعۡقُوۡبَ نَافِلَةً ؕ وَكُلًّا جَعَلۡنَا صٰلِحِيۡنَ‏ ٧٢

21:72

And We gave him Isaac and Jacob in addition, and all [of them] We made righteous.

وَجَعَلۡنٰهُمۡ اَٮِٕمَّةً يَّهۡدُوۡنَ بِاَمۡرِنَا وَاَوۡحَيۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡهِمۡ فِعۡلَ الۡخَيۡرٰتِ وَاِقَامَ الصَّلٰوةِ وَاِيۡتَآءَ الزَّكٰوةِ‌ ۚ وَكَانُوۡا لَنَا عٰبِدِيۡنَ‏ ٧٣

21:73

And We made them leaders guiding by Our command. And We inspired to them the doing of good deeds, establishment of prayer, and giving of zakah; and they were worshippers of Us.

وَلُوۡطًا اٰتَيۡنٰهُ حُكۡمًا وَّعِلۡمًا وَّنَجَّيۡنٰهُ مِنَ الۡقَرۡيَةِ الَّتِىۡ كَانَتۡ تَّعۡمَلُ الۡخَبٰٓٮِٕثَ‌ ؕ اِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوۡا قَوۡمَ سَوۡءٍ فٰسِقِيۡنَ‏ ٧٤

21:74

And to Lot We gave judgment and knowledge, and We saved him from the city that was committing wicked deeds. Indeed, they were a people of evil, defiantly disobedient.

وَاَدۡخَلۡنٰهُ فِىۡ رَحۡمَتِنَاۤ ؕ اِنَّهٗ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِيۡنَ‏ ٧٥

21:75

And We admitted him into Our mercy. Indeed, he was of the righteous.

وَنُوۡحًا اِذۡ نَادٰى مِنۡ قَبۡلُ فَاسۡتَجَبۡنَا لَهٗ فَنَجَّيۡنٰهُ وَاَهۡلَهٗ مِنَ الۡكَرۡبِ الۡعَظِيۡمِ‏ ٧٦

21:76

And [mention] Noah, when he called [to Allah] before [the flood], so We responded to him and saved him and his family from the great catastrophe.

وَنَصَرۡنٰهُ مِنَ الۡقَوۡمِ الَّذِيۡنَ كَذَّبُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِنَا ؕ اِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوۡا قَوۡمَ سَوۡءٍ فَاَغۡرَقۡنٰهُمۡ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَ‏ ٧٧

21:77

And We supported him against the people who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a people of evil, so We drowned them all.

وَدَاوٗدَ وَسُلَيۡمٰنَ اِذۡ يَحۡكُمٰنِ فِى الۡحَرۡثِ اِذۡ نَفَشَتۡ فِيۡهِ غَنَمُ الۡقَوۡمِ‌ ۚ وَكُنَّا لِحُكۡمِهِمۡ شٰهِدِيۡنَ‌ ۚ‏ ٧٨

21:78

And [mention] David and Solomon, when they judged concerning the field, when the sheep of a people pastured therein by night; and We were witness to their judgment.

فَفَهَّمۡنٰهَا سُلَيۡمٰنَ‌ ۚ وَكُلًّا اٰتَيۡنَا حُكۡمًا وَّعِلۡمًا‌ ۘ وَسَخَّرۡنَا مَعَ دَاوٗدَ الۡجِبَالَ يُسَبِّحۡنَ وَالطَّيۡرَ‌ ؕ وَكُنَّا فٰعِلِيۡنَ‏ ٧٩

21:79

And We gave understanding of the case to Solomon, and to each [of them] We gave judgment and knowledge. And We subjected the mountains to [join] David in glorification, and [also] the birds. And We were the doers [of that].

وَعَلَّمۡنٰهُ صَنۡعَةَ لَبُوۡسٍ لَّكُمۡ لِتُحۡصِنَكُمۡ مِّنۡۢ بَاۡسِكُمۡ‌ ۚ فَهَلۡ اَنۡتُمۡ شٰكِرُوۡنَ‏ ٨٠

21:80

And We taught him the making of coats of armor for you to protect you from your [mutual] violence. So will you then be grateful?

وَلِسُلَيۡمٰنَ الرِّيۡحَ عَاصِفَةً تَجۡرِىۡ بِاَمۡرِهٖۤ اِلَى الۡاَرۡضِ الَّتِىۡ بٰرَكۡنَا فِيۡهَا ؕ وَكُنَّا بِكُلِّ شَىۡءٍ عٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ ٨١

21:81

And to Solomon [We subjected] the wind, blowing violently, proceeding by his command toward the land which We had blessed. And We are ever, of all things, knowing.

وَمِنَ الشَّيٰطِيۡنِ مَنۡ يَّغُوۡصُوۡنَ لَهٗ وَيَعۡمَلُوۡنَ عَمَلًا دُوۡنَ ذٰلِكَ‌ ؕ وَكُنَّا لَهُمۡ حٰفِظِيۡنَ‌ ۘ‏ ٨٢

21:82

And of the devils were some who dived for him and did other work, and We were for them a guardian.

وَاَيُّوۡبَ اِذۡ نَادٰى رَبَّهٗۤ اَنِّىۡ مَسَّنِىَ الضُّرُّ وَاَنۡتَ اَرۡحَمُ الرّٰحِمِيۡنَ‌ ۚ‏ ٨٣

21:83

And [mention] Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, adversity has touched me, and you are the most merciful of the merciful."

فَاسۡتَجَبۡنَا لَهٗ فَكَشَفۡنَا مَا بِهٖ مِنۡ ضُرٍّ‌ وَّاٰتَيۡنٰهُ اَهۡلَهٗ وَمِثۡلَهُمۡ مَّعَهُمۡ رَحۡمَةً مِّنۡ عِنۡدِنَا وَذِكۡرٰى لِلۡعٰبِدِيۡنَ‏ ٨٤

21:84

So We responded to him and removed what afflicted him of adversity. And We gave him [back] his family and the like thereof with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for the worshippers [of Allah].

وَاِسۡمٰعِيۡلَ وَاِدۡرِيۡسَ وَذَا الۡكِفۡلِ‌ ؕ كُلٌّ مِّنَ الصّٰبِرِيۡنَ‏ ٨٥

21:85

And [mention] Ishmael and Idriss and Dhul-Kifl; all were of the patient.

وَاَدۡخَلۡنٰهُمۡ فِىۡ رَحۡمَتِنَا ؕ اِنَّهُمۡ مِّنَ الصّٰلِحِيۡنَ‏ ٨٦

21:86

And We admitted them into Our mercy. Indeed, they were of the righteous.

وَذَا النُّوۡنِ اِذۡ ذَّهَبَ مُغَاضِبًا فَظَنَّ اَنۡ لَّنۡ نَّقۡدِرَ عَلَيۡهِ فَنَادٰى فِى الظُّلُمٰتِ اَنۡ لَّاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡتَ سُبۡحٰنَكَ اِنِّىۡ كُنۡتُ مِنَ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ ٨٧

21:87

And [mention] the man of the fish, when he went off in anger and thought that We would not decree [anything] upon him. And he called out within the darknesses, "There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers."

فَاسۡتَجَبۡنَا لَهٗ ۙ وَنَجَّيۡنٰهُ مِنَ الۡغَمِّ‌ ؕ وَكَذٰلِكَ نُـنۡجِى الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ‏ ٨٨

21:88

So We responded to him and saved him from the distress. And thus do We save the believers.

وَزَكَرِيَّاۤ اِذۡ نَادٰى رَبَّهٗ رَبِّ لَا تَذَرۡنِىۡ فَرۡدًا وَّاَنۡتَ خَيۡرُ الۡوٰرِثِيۡنَ‌ ۚ‏ ٨٩

21:89

And [mention] Zechariah, when he called to his Lord, "My Lord, do not leave me alone [with no heir], while you are the best of inheritors."

فَاسۡتَجَبۡنَا لَهٗ ۙ وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهٗ يَحۡيٰى وَاَصۡلَحۡنَا لَهٗ زَوۡجَهٗ ؕ اِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوۡا يُسٰرِعُوۡنَ فِى الۡخَيۡرٰتِ وَيَدۡعُوۡنَنَا رَغَبًا وَّرَهَبًا‌ ؕ وَكَانُوۡا لَنَا خٰشِعِيۡنَ‏ ٩٠

21:90

So We responded to him, and We gave him John, and amended for him his wife. Indeed, they used to hasten to good deeds and supplicate Us in hope and fear, and they were to Us humbly submissive.

وَالَّتِىۡۤ اَحۡصَنَتۡ فَرۡجَهَا فَنَفَخۡنَا فِيۡهَا مِنۡ رُّوۡحِنَا وَجَعَلۡنٰهَا وَابۡنَهَاۤ اٰيَةً لِّلۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ‏ ٩١

21:91

And [mention] the one who guarded her chastity, so We blew into her [garment] through Our angel [Gabriel], and We made her and her son a sign for the worlds.

اِنَّ هٰذِهٖۤ اُمَّتُكُمۡ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً وَّاَنَا رَبُّكُمۡ فَاعۡبُدُوۡنِ‏ ٩٢

21:92

Indeed, this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so worship Me.

وَتَقَطَّعُوۡۤا اَمۡرَهُمۡ بَيۡنَهُمۡ‌ ؕ كُلٌّ اِلَيۡنَا رٰجِعُوۡنَ‏ ٩٣

21:93

But [the people] divided their religion among them into sects. All to Us will return.

فَمَنۡ يَّعۡمَلۡ مِنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٌ فَلَا كُفۡرَانَ لِسَعۡيِهٖ‌ ۚ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ كٰتِبُوۡنَ‏ ٩٤

21:94

So whoever does righteous deeds while he is a believer - no denial will there be for his effort, and indeed, We for him are recording [it].

وَحَرَامٌ عَلٰى قَرۡيَةٍ اَهۡلَكۡنٰهَاۤ اَنَّهُمۡ لَا يَرۡجِعُوۡنَ‏ ٩٥

21:95

And it is forbidden to a city which We destroyed that they will [ever] return [to life in this world].

حَتّٰۤى اِذَا فُتِحَتۡ يَاۡجُوۡجُ وَمَاۡجُوۡجُ وَهُمۡ مِّنۡ كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَّنۡسِلُوۡنَ‏ ٩٦

21:96

Until when [the dam of] Gog and Magog has been opened and they, from every elevation, descend.

وَاقۡتَرَبَ الۡوَعۡدُ الۡحَقُّ فَاِذَا هِىَ شَاخِصَةٌ اَبۡصَارُ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا ؕ يٰوَيۡلَنَا قَدۡ كُنَّا فِىۡ غَفۡلَةٍ مِّنۡ هٰذَا بَلۡ كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ ٩٧

21:97

And [when] the true promise has approached; then suddenly the eyes of those who disbelieved will stare [in horror]. [They will say], "O woe to us; we had been heedless of this. Rather, we were wrongdoers."

اِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَ‌ ؕ اَنۡتُمۡ لَهَا وٰرِدُوۡنَ‏ ٩٨

21:98

Indeed, you [disbelievers] and what you worship other than Allah are the firewood of Hell. You will [all] be descending to it.

لَوۡ كَانَ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ اٰلِهَةً مَّا وَرَدُوۡهَا‌ ؕ وَكُلٌّ فِيۡهَا خٰلِدُوۡنَ‏ ٩٩

21:99

Had these [false deities] been gods, they would not have descended to it; but all are to abide therein eternally.

لَهُمۡ فِيۡهَا زَفِيۡرٌ وَّهُمۡ فِيۡهَا لَا يَسۡمَعُوۡنَ‏ ١٠٠

21:100

For them therein is [heavy] sighing, and they therein will not hear.

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ سَبَقَتۡ لَهُمۡ مِّنَّا الۡحُسۡنٰىۤۙ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ عَنۡهَا مُبۡعَدُوۡنَ ۙ‏ ١٠١

21:101

Indeed, those for whom the best [reward] has preceded from Us - they will be removed far from it [Hell].

لَا يَسۡمَعُوۡنَ حَسِيۡسَهَا‌ ۚ وَهُمۡ فِىۡ مَا اشۡتَهَتۡ اَنۡفُسُهُمۡ خٰلِدُوۡنَ ۚ‏ ١٠٢

21:102

They will not hear its sound, and they will be in [eternal enjoyment of] what their souls desire.

لَا يَحۡزُنُهُمُ الۡفَزَعُ الۡاَكۡبَرُ وَتَتَلَقّٰٮهُمُ الۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةُ ؕ هٰذَا يَوۡمُكُمُ الَّذِىۡ كُنۡتُمۡ تُوۡعَدُوۡنَ‏ ١٠٣

21:103

The greatest terror will not grieve them, and the angels will meet them, [saying], "This is your Day which you were promised."

يَوۡمَ نَطۡوِى السَّمَآءَ كَطَىِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلۡكُتُبِ‌ ؕ كَمَا بَدَاۡنَاۤ اَوَّلَ خَلۡقٍ نُّعِيۡدُهٗ ؕ وَعۡدًا عَلَيۡنَا ؕ اِنَّا كُنَّا فٰعِلِيۡنَ‏ ١٠٤

21:104

[Mention] the Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] scroll. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it.

وَلَقَدۡ كَتَبۡنَا فِى الزَّبُوۡرِ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ الذِّكۡرِ اَنَّ الۡاَرۡضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِىَ الصّٰلِحُوۡنَ‏ ١٠٥

21:105

And We have already written in the book [of Psalms] after the mention [in the Torah] that the land will be inherited by My righteous servants.

اِنَّ فِىۡ هٰذَا لَبَلٰغًا لِّقَوۡمٍ عٰبِدِيۡنَ‏ ١٠٦

21:106

Indeed, in this [Qur'an] is a notification for a worshipping people.

وَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنٰكَ اِلَّا رَحۡمَةً لِّلۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ‏ ١٠٧

21:107

And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.

قُلۡ اِنَّمَا يُوۡحٰىۤ اِلَىَّ اَنَّمَاۤ اِلٰهُكُمۡ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌ‌ ۚ فَهَلۡ اَنۡتُمۡ مُّسۡلِمُوۡنَ‏ ١٠٨

21:108

Say, "It is only revealed to me that your God is but one God; so will you be Muslims [in submission]?"

فَاِنۡ تَوَلَّوۡا فَقُلۡ اٰذَنۡتُكُمۡ عَلٰى سَوَآءٍ‌ ؕ وَاِنۡ اَدۡرِىۡۤ اَقَرِيۡبٌ اَمۡ بَعِيۡدٌ مَّا تُوۡعَدُوۡنَ‏ ١٠٩

21:109

But if they turn away, then say, "I have announced to [all of] you upon [equal] knowledge. And I know not whether [that which] you are promised is near or far."

اِنَّهٗ يَعۡلَمُ الۡجَهۡرَ مِنَ الۡقَوۡلِ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا تَكۡتُمُوۡنَ‏ ١١٠

21:110

Indeed, He knows what is spoken aloud and [knows] what you conceal.

وَاِنۡ اَدۡرِىۡ لَعَلَّهٗ فِتۡنَةٌ لَّكُمۡ وَمَتَاعٌ اِلٰى حِيۡنٍ‏ ١١١

21:111

And I know not; perhaps it is a trial for you and enjoyment for a time."

قٰلَ رَبِّ احۡكُمۡ بِالۡحَقِّ‌ ؕ وَرَبُّنَا الرَّحۡمٰنُ الۡمُسۡتَعَانُ عَلٰى مَا تَصِفُوۡنَ‏ ١١٢

21:112

[The Prophet] said, "My Lord, judge with truth. And our Lord is the Most Gracious, the one whose help is sought against that which you describe."
