The Criterion · al-Furqan · سورة الفرقان · 77 ayahs

١تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْفُرْقَانَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ لِيَكُونَ لِلْعَالَمِينَ نَذِيرًا

1Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His servant, that he may be a warner to all peoples.

٢الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَقَدَّرَهُ تَقْدِيرًا

2He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, who has not taken a child, who has no partner in dominion, who created everything and measured it precisely.

٣وَاتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِهِ آلِهَةً لَا يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْئًا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ مَوْتًا وَلَا حَيَاةً وَلَا نُشُورًا

3Yet they have taken gods besides Him that create nothing and are themselves created, that have no power over harm or benefit for themselves, and have no power over death, life, or resurrection.

٤وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا إِفْكٌ افْتَرَاهُ وَأَعَانَهُ عَلَيْهِ قَوْمٌ آخَرُونَ ۖ فَقَدْ جَاءُوا ظُلْمًا وَزُورًا

4Those who disbelieve say, “This is nothing but a lie he fabricated, and other people helped him with it.” They have committed injustice and falsehood.

٥وَقَالُوا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ اكْتَتَبَهَا فَهِيَ تُمْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا

5They say, “Legends of the ancients that he had written down, dictated to him morning and evening.”

٦قُلْ أَنْزَلَهُ الَّذِي يَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا

6Say, “It was sent down by Him who knows every secret in the heavens and the earth. Truly, He is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

٧وَقَالُوا مَالِ هَٰذَا الرَّسُولِ يَأْكُلُ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشِي فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ ۙ لَوْلَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ فَيَكُونَ مَعَهُ نَذِيرًا

7They say, “What is with this messenger? He eats food and walks through the markets! Why was an angel not sent down to him to be a warner alongside him?

٨أَوْ يُلْقَىٰ إِلَيْهِ كَنْزٌ أَوْ تَكُونُ لَهُ جَنَّةٌ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا ۚ وَقَالَ الظَّالِمُونَ إِنْ تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلًا مَسْحُورًا

8Or a treasure cast down to him, or a garden given to him from which he eats?” The wrongdoers say, “You follow nothing but a bewitched man.”

٩انْظُرْ كَيْفَ ضَرَبُوا لَكَ الْأَمْثَالَ فَضَلُّوا فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ سَبِيلًا

9Look how they coin comparisons for you—they have gone astray and cannot find a way.

١٠تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي إِنْ شَاءَ جَعَلَ لَكَ خَيْرًا مِنْ ذَٰلِكَ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ وَيَجْعَلْ لَكَ قُصُورًا

10Blessed is He who, if He willed, could give you better than that—gardens beneath which rivers flow—and give you palaces.

١١بَلْ كَذَّبُوا بِالسَّاعَةِ ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِمَنْ كَذَّبَ بِالسَّاعَةِ سَعِيرًا

11But they deny the Hour, and We have prepared a Blaze for whoever denies the Hour.

١٢إِذَا رَأَتْهُمْ مِنْ مَكَانٍ بَعِيدٍ سَمِعُوا لَهَا تَغَيُّظًا وَزَفِيرًا

12When it sees them from a distant place, they hear its raging and roaring.

١٣وَإِذَا أُلْقُوا مِنْهَا مَكَانًا ضَيِّقًا مُقَرَّنِينَ دَعَوْا هُنَالِكَ ثُبُورًا

13When they are thrown into a tight space within it, shackled together, they cry out for destruction.

١٤لَا تَدْعُوا الْيَوْمَ ثُبُورًا وَاحِدًا وَادْعُوا ثُبُورًا كَثِيرًا

14Do not cry for one destruction today—cry for many destructions!

١٥قُلْ أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ أَمْ جَنَّةُ الْخُلْدِ الَّتِي وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُونَ ۚ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَزَاءً وَمَصِيرًا

15Say, “Is that better, or the Garden of Eternity promised to the righteous?” It is their reward and destination.

١٦لَهُمْ فِيهَا مَا يَشَاءُونَ خَالِدِينَ ۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ وَعْدًا مَسْئُولًا

16In it they have whatever they wish, dwelling forever. It is a promise binding upon your Lord.

١٧وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ فَيَقُولُ أَأَنْتُمْ أَضْلَلْتُمْ عِبَادِي هَٰؤُلَاءِ أَمْ هُمْ ضَلُّوا السَّبِيلَ

17On the Day He gathers them and what they worship besides God, He will say, “Was it you who led these servants of Mine astray, or did they stray from the path on their own?”

١٨قَالُوا سُبْحَانَكَ مَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَتَّخِذَ مِنْ دُونِكَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءَ وَلَٰكِنْ مَتَّعْتَهُمْ وَآبَاءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ نَسُوا الذِّكْرَ وَكَانُوا قَوْمًا بُورًا

18They will say, “Glory be to You! It was not for us to take any protectors besides You, but You gave them and their fathers comfort until they forgot the Reminder and became a ruined people.”

١٩فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوكُمْ بِمَا تَقُولُونَ فَمَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ صَرْفًا وَلَا نَصْرًا ۚ وَمَنْ يَظْلِمْ مِنْكُمْ نُذِقْهُ عَذَابًا كَبِيرًا

19So they have denied you in what you say, and you can neither avert nor help yourselves. Whoever among you does wrong, We will make him taste a terrible punishment.

٢٠وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّا إِنَّهُمْ لَيَأْكُلُونَ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشُونَ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ ۗ وَجَعَلْنَا بَعْضَكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ فِتْنَةً أَتَصْبِرُونَ ۗ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ بَصِيرًا

20We never sent any messengers before you except that they ate food and walked through the markets. We have made some of you a trial for others—will you be patient? Your Lord is All-Seeing.

٢١وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَاءَنَا لَوْلَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْنَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَوْ نَرَىٰ رَبَّنَا ۗ لَقَدِ اسْتَكْبَرُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَعَتَوْا عُتُوًّا كَبِيرًا

21Those who do not expect to meet Us said, “Why are angels not sent down to us, or why do we not see our Lord?” They have grown arrogant within themselves and exceeded in great insolence.

٢٢يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَا بُشْرَىٰ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُجْرِمِينَ وَيَقُولُونَ حِجْرًا مَحْجُورًا

22The Day they see the angels — no good news that Day for the criminals — and they will say, “Forbidden, utterly forbidden!”

٢٣وَقَدِمْنَا إِلَىٰ مَا عَمِلُوا مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ هَبَاءً مَنْثُورًا

23We will turn to whatever deeds they did and make them scattered dust.

٢٤أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَيْرٌ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَأَحْسَنُ مَقِيلًا

24The people of Paradise that Day will have the best abode and the finest resting place.

٢٥وَيَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ السَّمَاءُ بِالْغَمَامِ وَنُزِّلَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تَنْزِيلًا

25The Day the sky splits open with clouds and the angels are sent down in successive descent.

٢٦الْمُلْكُ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْحَقُّ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ ۚ وَكَانَ يَوْمًا عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ عَسِيرًا

26True sovereignty that Day belongs to the Most Merciful. And it will be a Day grievous for the disbelievers.

٢٧وَيَوْمَ يَعَضُّ الظَّالِمُ عَلَىٰ يَدَيْهِ يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي اتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ الرَّسُولِ سَبِيلًا

27The Day the wrongdoer bites his hands, saying, “If only I had taken a path with the Messenger!

٢٨يَا وَيْلَتَىٰ لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِيلًا

28O woe to me! If only I had not taken so-and-so as a close friend!

٢٩لَقَدْ أَضَلَّنِي عَنِ الذِّكْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ جَاءَنِي ۗ وَكَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ لِلْإِنْسَانِ خَذُولًا

29He truly led me astray from the Reminder after it had come to me.” And Satan has always been a foresaker of man.

٣٠وَقَالَ الرَّسُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِي اتَّخَذُوا هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ مَهْجُورًا

30The Messenger said, “O my Lord, truly my people have abandoned this Quran.”

٣١وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ عَدُوًّا مِنَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ هَادِيًا وَنَصِيرًا

31And so We made for every prophet an enemy from among the criminals. But your Lord is sufficient as a Guide and a Helper.

٣٢وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنُ جُمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهِ فُؤَادَكَ ۖ وَرَتَّلْنَاهُ تَرْتِيلًا

32Those who disbelieved said, “Why was the Quran not sent down to him all at once?” It was so, that We might strengthen your heart with it, and We revealed it in stages.

٣٣وَلَا يَأْتُونَكَ بِمَثَلٍ إِلَّا جِئْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَحْسَنَ تَفْسِيرًا

33They never bring you an argument except that We bring you the truth and a better explanation.

٣٤الَّذِينَ يُحْشَرُونَ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ أُولَٰئِكَ شَرٌّ مَكَانًا وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا

34Those who will be dragged on their faces to Hell — they are worst in position and most astray in path.

٣٥وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ وَجَعَلْنَا مَعَهُ أَخَاهُ هَارُونَ وَزِيرًا

35We gave Moses the Scripture and appointed his brother Aaron with him as a minister.

٣٦فَقُلْنَا اذْهَبَا إِلَى الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا فَدَمَّرْنَاهُمْ تَدْمِيرًا

36We said, “Go, both of you, to the people who denied Our signs.” Then We destroyed them utterly.

٣٧وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ لَمَّا كَذَّبُوا الرُّسُلَ أَغْرَقْنَاهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ لِلنَّاسِ آيَةً ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا

37And the people of Noah — when they denied the messengers, We drowned them and made them a sign for mankind. And We have prepared for the wrongdoers a painful punishment.

٣٨وَعَادًا وَثَمُودَ وَأَصْحَابَ الرَّسِّ وَقُرُونًا بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ كَثِيرًا

38And Ad and Thamud and the people of the Well and many generations in between.

٣٩وَكُلًّا ضَرَبْنَا لَهُ الْأَمْثَالَ ۖ وَكُلًّا تَبَّرْنَا تَتْبِيرًا

39To each We set examples, and each We destroyed completely.

٤٠وَلَقَدْ أَتَوْا عَلَى الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِي أُمْطِرَتْ مَطَرَ السَّوْءِ ۚ أَفَلَمْ يَكُونُوا يَرَوْنَهَا ۚ بَلْ كَانُوا لَا يَرْجُونَ نُشُورًا

40They have surely passed by the town that was rained upon with a rain of evil. Did they not see it? No — they did not expect resurrection.

٤١وَإِذَا رَأَوْكَ إِنْ يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَٰذَا الَّذِي بَعَثَ اللَّهُ رَسُولًا

41When they see you, they only take you in mockery: “Is this the one God sent as a messenger?

٤٢إِنْ كَادَ لَيُضِلُّنَا عَنْ آلِهَتِنَا لَوْلَا أَنْ صَبَرْنَا عَلَيْهَا ۚ وَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ حِينَ يَرَوْنَ الْعَذَابَ مَنْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا

42He nearly would have led us astray from our gods, had we not held firmly to them.” They will know, when they see the punishment, who is most astray in path.

٤٣أَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُ هَوَاهُ أَفَأَنْتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ وَكِيلًا

43Have you seen the one who takes his own desire as his god? Will you then be a guardian over him?

٤٤أَمْ تَحْسَبُ أَنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ أَوْ يَعْقِلُونَ ۚ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَالْأَنْعَامِ ۖ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا

44Or do you think that most of them hear or understand? They are nothing but like cattle — rather, they are more astray in path.

٤٥أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَيْفَ مَدَّ الظِّلَّ وَلَوْ شَاءَ لَجَعَلَهُ سَاكِنًا ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا الشَّمْسَ عَلَيْهِ دَلِيلًا

45Have you not seen how your Lord extended the shade? Had He willed, He could have made it still. Then We made the sun a guide over it.

٤٦ثُمَّ قَبَضْنَاهُ إِلَيْنَا قَبْضًا يَسِيرًا

46Then We drew it back to Us gradually.

٤٧وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا وَالنَّوْمَ سُبَاتًا وَجَعَلَ النَّهَارَ نُشُورًا

47He is the One who made the night a garment for you, and sleep a rest, and made the day a resurrection.

٤٨وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ الرِّيَاحَ بُشْرًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهِ ۚ وَأَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً طَهُورًا

48He is the One who sent the winds as glad tidings before His mercy. And We sent down from the sky purifying water.

٤٩لِنُحْيِيَ بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَيْتًا وَنُسْقِيَهُ مِمَّا خَلَقْنَا أَنْعَامًا وَأَنَاسِيَّ كَثِيرًا

49To revive with it a dead land and to give drink to what We created — livestock and many people.

٥٠وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَاهُ بَيْنَهُمْ لِيَذَّكَّرُوا فَأَبَىٰ أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورًا

50Certainly We have distributed it among them so they might reflect, yet most people refuse anything but ingratitude.

٥١وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَبَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ قَرْيَةٍ نَذِيرًا

51Had We willed, We could have sent a warner to every town.

٥٢فَلَا تُطِعِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَجَاهِدْهُمْ بِهِ جِهَادًا كَبِيرًا

52So do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with it a great striving.

٥٣وَهُوَ الَّذِي مَرَجَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ هَٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ وَهَٰذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخًا وَحِجْرًا مَحْجُورًا

53He is the One who released the two seas — this one sweet and fresh, that one salty and bitter — and placed between them a barrier and an impassable boundary.

٥٤وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ بَشَرًا فَجَعَلَهُ نَسَبًا وَصِهْرًا ۗ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ قَدِيرًا

54He is the One who created from water a human being, then made him of lineage and marriage. Your Lord is All-Powerful.

٥٥وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنْفَعُهُمْ وَلَا يَضُرُّهُمْ ۗ وَكَانَ الْكَافِرُ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِ ظَهِيرًا

55Yet they worship besides God what neither benefits them nor harms them. The disbeliever is ever a supporter against his Lord.

٥٦وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا

56We have not sent you except as a bearer of good news and a warner.

٥٧قُلْ مَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِلَّا مَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا

57Say, “I ask you no payment for this — only that whoever wills may take a path to his Lord.”

٥٨وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِهِ ۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِهِ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِ خَبِيرًا

58Put your trust in the Ever-Living who never dies, and glorify Him with praise. He is sufficient as All-Aware of His servants’ sins.

٥٩الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ ۚ الرَّحْمَٰنُ فَاسْأَلْ بِهِ خَبِيرًا

59He who created the heavens and the earth and everything between them in six days, then rose over the Throne — the Most Merciful. So ask about Him one who is well-informed.

٦٠وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ اسْجُدُوا لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ قَالُوا وَمَا الرَّحْمَٰنُ أَنَسْجُدُ لِمَا تَأْمُرُنَا وَزَادَهُمْ نُفُورًا ۩

60When they are told, “Prostrate to the Most Merciful,” they say, “And what is the Most Merciful? Should we prostrate to whatever you command us?” And it only increases their aversion.

٦١تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي السَّمَاءِ بُرُوجًا وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا سِرَاجًا وَقَمَرًا مُنِيرًا

61Blessed is He who placed constellations in the sky and placed in it a lamp and a luminous moon.

٦٢وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ خِلْفَةً لِمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَذَّكَّرَ أَوْ أَرَادَ شُكُورًا

62He is the One who made the night and the day follow each other, for whoever wishes to reflect or wishes to be grateful.

٦٣وَعِبَادُ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الَّذِينَ يَمْشُونَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ هَوْنًا وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ الْجَاهِلُونَ قَالُوا سَلَامًا

63The servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth humbly, and when the ignorant address them, they say, “Peace.”

٦٤وَالَّذِينَ يَبِيتُونَ لِرَبِّهِمْ سُجَّدًا وَقِيَامًا

64And those who spend the night before their Lord, prostrating and standing.

٦٥وَالَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا اصْرِفْ عَنَّا عَذَابَ جَهَنَّمَ ۖ إِنَّ عَذَابَهَا كَانَ غَرَامًا

65And those who say, “Our Lord, turn away from us the punishment of Hell — truly its punishment is relentless.

٦٦إِنَّهَا سَاءَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَمُقَامًا

66It is terrible as a resting place and a residence.”

٦٧وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا أَنْفَقُوا لَمْ يُسْرِفُوا وَلَمْ يَقْتُرُوا وَكَانَ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ قَوَامًا

67And those who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor stingy, but keep a balance between the two.

٦٨وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ ۚ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ يَلْقَ أَثَامًا

68And those who do not invoke another god alongside God, and do not kill the soul that God has forbidden except by right, and do not commit adultery. Whoever does that will meet a penalty.

٦٩يُضَاعَفْ لَهُ الْعَذَابُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيَخْلُدْ فِيهِ مُهَانًا

69The punishment will be multiplied for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will remain in it, humiliated.

٧٠إِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا فَأُولَٰئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا

70Except whoever repents, believes, and does righteous deeds — for those, God will replace their evil deeds with good ones. And God is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

٧١وَمَنْ تَابَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَإِنَّهُ يَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مَتَابًا

71And whoever repents and does righteous deeds truly turns to God in sincere repentance.

٧٢وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَشْهَدُونَ الزُّورَ وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِاللَّغْوِ مَرُّوا كِرَامًا

72And those who do not bear false witness, and when they pass by idle talk, they pass with dignity.

٧٣وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِّرُوا بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ لَمْ يَخِرُّوا عَلَيْهَا صُمًّا وَعُمْيَانًا

73And those who, when reminded of their Lord’s verses, do not fall upon them deaf and blind.

٧٤وَالَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا

74And those who say, “Our Lord, grant us from our spouses and offspring the delight of our eyes, and make us a model for the righteous.”

٧٥أُولَٰئِكَ يُجْزَوْنَ الْغُرْفَةَ بِمَا صَبَرُوا وَيُلَقَّوْنَ فِيهَا تَحِيَّةً وَسَلَامًا

75Those will be rewarded with the highest chambers for their patience, and will be met there with greetings and peace.

٧٦خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ حَسُنَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَمُقَامًا

76Abiding there forever — how excellent a resting place and a residence.

٧٧قُلْ مَا يَعْبَأُ بِكُمْ رَبِّي لَوْلَا دُعَاؤُكُمْ ۖ فَقَدْ كَذَّبْتُمْ فَسَوْفَ يَكُونُ لِزَامًا

77Say, “My Lord would not care about you were it not for your supplication. But you have denied, so it will be inescapable.”
