THE BELIEVERS (al-Mu'minun)
In the name of
God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
1. Successful
are the believers.
2. Those who are humble in their prayers.
3. Those who avoid nonsense.
4. Those who work for charity.
5. Those who safeguard their chastity.
6. Except from their spouses, or their de-pendents—for then
they are free from blame.
7. But whoever seeks anything beyond that—these are the
transgressors.
8. Those who are faithful to their trusts and pledges.
9. Those
who safeguard their prayers.
10. These are the inheritors.
11. Who will inherit Paradise, wherein they will dwell forever.
12. We created man from an extract of clay.
13. Then We made him a seed, in a secure repository.
14. Then We developed the seed into a clot. Then We developed
the clot into a lump. Then We developed the lump into bones. Then We clothed
the bones with flesh. Then We produced it into another crea-ture. Most Blessed
is God, the Best of Cre-ators.
15. Then,
after that, you will die.
16. Then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be resurrected.
17. We created above you seven pathways, and We are never
heedless of the creation.
18. And We sent down water from the sky in proper quantity, and
settled it in the ground, and We are Able to take it away.
19. With it We produce for you gardens of palms and vines,
yielding abundant fruit for you to eat.
20. And a tree springing out of Mount Si-nai, producing oil, and
seasoning for those who eat.
21. And there is a lesson for you in live-stock: We give you to
drink from what is in their bellies, and you have many bene-fits in them, and
from them you eat.
22. And on them, and on the ships, you are transported.
23. We sent Noah to his people. He said, “O my people, worship
God, you have no deity other than Him. Will you not take heed?”
24.
But the notables of his people, who dis-believed,
said, “This is nothing but a hu-man like you, who wants to gain superi-ority
over you. Had God willed, He would have sent down angels. We never heard of
this from our forefathers of old.
25.
He is nothing but a man possessed. Just ignore him for
a while.”
26.
He said, “My Lord, help me, for they have rejected
me.”
27.
So We inspired him: “Build the Ark under Our
observation and by Our inspi-ration. And when Our decree comes to pass, and the
oven boils over, load into it two pairs of every kind, together with your
family, except those of them against whom the word has already been pronounced.
And do not speak to me concerning those who did wrong; for they are to be
drowned.”
28.
Then, when you and those with you are settled in the
Ark, say, “Praise be to God, who has saved us from the wrongdoing people.”
29.
And say, “My Lord, land me with a blessed landing, as
you are the best of transporters.”
30. Surely in
that are signs. We are always testing.
31.
Then, after them, We established an-other generation.
32. And We sent
among them a messenger from themselves: “Serve God. You have no god other than
Him. Will you not be cau-tious?”
33. But the
dignitaries of his people, those who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the
Hereafter, and We had indulged them in the present life, said, “This is nothing
but a human like you; he eats what you eat, and he drinks what you drink.
34. If you obey
a human being like your-selves, you will be losers.
35. Does he
promise you that when you have died and become dust and bones, you will be
brought out?
36. Farfetched,
farfetched is what you are promised.
37. There is
nothing but our life in this world. We die, and we live, and we are not
resurrected.
38. He is
nothing but a man, making up lies about God. We have no faith in him.”
39. He said, “My
Lord, help me, for they have rejected me.”
40. He said,
“Soon they will be filled with regret.”
41. Then the
Blast struck them, justifiably, and so We turned them into scum. So
away with the wicked people.
42. Then, after
them, We raised other gen-erations.
43. No nation
can advance its time, nor can they postpone it.
44. Then We sent
Our messengers in suc-cession. Every time a messenger came to his community, they
called him a liar. So We made them follow one another,
and
made them history. So away with a people who do not
believe.
45. Then We sent
Moses and his brother Aaron, with Our signs and a clear authori-ty.
46. To Pharaoh
and his nobles, but they turned arrogant. They were
oppressive people.
47. They said,
“Are we to believe in two mortals like us, and their people are our slaves?”
48. So they
called them liars, and thus were among those destroyed.
49. And We gave
Moses the Scripture, that they may be guided.
50. And We made
Mary’s son and his mother a sign, and We sheltered them on high ground with
security and flowing springs.
51. O
messengers, eat of the good things, and act with integrity. I am aware of what
you do.
52. This nation
of yours is one nation, and I am your Lord, so fear Me.
53. But they
tore themselves into sects; each party happy with what they have.
54. So leave
them in their bewilderment until a time.
55. Do they
assume that, in furnishing them with wealth and children.
56. We race to
give them the good things? In fact, they have no idea.
57.
Those who, from awe of their Lord, are fearful.
58.
And those who believe in their Lord’s Verses.
59.
And those who associate no partners with their Lord.
60.
And those who give what they give, while their hearts
quake, knowing that to their Lord they will return.
61.
It is they who race towards goodness. It is they who
will reach it first.
62.
We never burden any soul beyond its capacity. And with
Us is a record that tells the truth, and they will not be wronged.
63.
But their hearts are puzzled because of this, and they
have deeds that do not con-form to this, which they continue to per-petrate.
64.
Until, when We seize the decadent among them with
torment, they begin to groan.
65.
Do not groan today. You will receive no help from Us.
66.
My Verses were recited to you, but you turned back on
your heels.
67.
Arrogant towards it—talked nonsense about
it—disregarded it.
68.
Have they not pondered the Word? Or has there come to
them what came not to their forefathers of old?
69.
Or is it that they did not recognize their messenger,
so they are denying him?
70.
Or do they say, “He is possessed?” In fact, he brought
them the truth, but most of them hate the truth.
71.
If the truth conformed to their desires, the heavens,
the earth, and everyone in them would have gone to ruin. In fact, We have given
them their message, but they keep avoiding their message.
72.
Or are you asking them for a payment? The revenue from
your Lord is better, and He is the Best of providers.
73. You are inviting them to a straight
path.
74.
But those who do not believe in the Hereafter are
swerving from the path.
75.
Even if We had mercy on them, and relieved their
problems, they would still blindly persist in their defiance.
76.
We have already gripped them with suffering, but they
did not surrender to their Lord, nor did they humble them-selves.
77.
Until, when We have opened before them a gate of
intense agony, at once they will despair.
78. It is He who
produced for you the hear-ing, and the eyesight, and the feelings. But
little gratitude you show.
79.
And it is He who multiplied you on earth, and to Him
you will be gathered.
80. And it is He
who gives life and brings death, and to Him is the alternation of night and
day. Do you not understand?
81. But they say
the like of what the an-cients said.
82. They say,
“After we have died, and be-come dust and bones, will we be resurrect-ed?
83. We were
promised this before—we and our ancestors—these are nothing but leg-ends of the
ancients.”
84. Say, “To
whom does the earth belong, and everyone in it, if you happen to know?”
85. They will
say, “To God.” Say, “Will you not reflect?”
86. Say, “Who is
the Lord of the seven heavens, and Lord of the Splendid Throne?”
87. They will
say, “To God.” Say, “Will you not become righteous?”
88. Say, “In
whose hand is the dominion of all things, and He protects and cannot be protected
from, if you happen to know?”
89. They will
say, “To God.” Say, “Then are you bewitched?”
90. In fact, We
have given them the truth, and they are liars.
91. God has
never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god
would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained
supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what
they describe.
92. The Knower
of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate.
93. Say, “My
Lord, if You would show me what they are promised.
94. My Lord, do
not place me among the wicked people.”
95. We are
surely Able to show you what We promise them.
96. Repel evil
by what is better. We are aware of what they describe.
97. And say, “My
Lord, I seek refuge with You from the urgings of the devils.
98. And I seek
refuge with You, my Lord, lest they become present.”
99. Until, when
death comes to one of them, he says, “My Lord, send me back.
100. That I may
do right in what I have ne-glected.” By no means! It is just a word that he
utters. And behind them is a barri-er, until the Day they are resurrected.
101. When the
Horn is blown, no relations between them will exist on that Day, and they will
not ask after one another.
102. Those whose
scales are heavy—those are the successful.
103. But those
whose scales are light—those are they who have lost their souls; in Hell they
will dwell forever.
104.
The Fire lashes their faces, and therein they grimace.
105. “Were not My
revelations recited to you, and you kept on rejecting them?”
106.
They will say, “Our Lord, our wretch-edness prevailed
over us, and we were a people astray.
107.
Our Lord! Bring us out of this. If we ever returned,
we would truly be evil.”
108.
He will say, “Be despised therein, and do not speak to
Me.
109.
There was a group of My servants who would say, `Our
Lord, we have believed, so forgive us, and have mercy on us; You are the Best
of the merciful.'
110.
But you made then a target of ridicule, until they
made you forget My remem-brance; and you used to laugh at them.
111.
Today, I have rewarded them for their endurance. They
are the ones who are the triumphant.”
112.
He will say, “How many years did you remain on earth?”
113.
They will say, “We remained a day, or part of a day;
but ask those who keep count.”
114.
He will say, “You remained only for a little while, if
you only knew.
115.
Did you think that We created you in vain, and that to
Us you will not be re-turned?”
116.
So Exalted is God, the Ruler, the Real. There is no
god except He, the Lord of the Noble Throne.
117. Whoever
invokes another god besides God—he has no proof thereof—his reck-oning rests
with his Lord. The disbelievers will not succeed.
118.
And say, “My Lord, forgive and have mercy, for You are
the Best of the merci-ful.”
