القلم

نٓۚ وَٱلۡقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسۡطُرُونَ ﴿١﴾

68:1Nun. By the pen and what they inscribe

مَآ أَنتَ بِنِعۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجۡنُونٖ ﴿٢﴾

68:2You are not, [O Muhammad], by the favor of your Lord, a madman

وَإِنَّ لَكَ لَأَجۡرًا غَيۡرَ مَمۡنُونٖ ﴿٣﴾

68:3And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted

وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٖ ﴿٤﴾

68:4And indeed, you are of a great moral character

فَسَتُبۡصِرُ وَيُبۡصِرُونَ ﴿٥﴾

68:5So you will see and they will see

بِأَييِّكُمُ ٱلۡمَفۡتُونُ ﴿٦﴾

68:6Which of you is the afflicted [by a devil]

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلۡمُهۡتَدِينَ ﴿٧﴾

68:7Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has gone astray from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided

فَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿٨﴾

68:8Then do not obey the deniers

وَدُّواْ لَوۡ تُدۡهِنُ فَيُدۡهِنُونَ ﴿٩﴾

68:9They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you]

وَلَا تُطِعۡ كُلَّ حَلَّافٖ مَّهِينٍ ﴿١٠﴾

68:10And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer

هَمَّازٖ مَّشَّآءِۭ بِنَمِيمٖ ﴿١١﴾

68:11[And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip

مَّنَّاعٖ لِّلۡخَيۡرِ مُعۡتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ ﴿١٢﴾

68:12A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful

عُتُلِّۭ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ زَنِيمٍ ﴿١٣﴾

68:13Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender

أَن كَانَ ذَا مَالٖ وَبَنِينَ ﴿١٤﴾

68:14Because he is a possessor of wealth and children

إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ﴿١٥﴾

68:15When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples

سَنَسِمُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلۡخُرۡطُومِ ﴿١٦﴾

68:16We will brand him upon the snout

إِنَّا بَلَوۡنَٰهُمۡ كَمَا بَلَوۡنَآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ إِذۡ أَقۡسَمُواْ لَيَصۡرِمُنَّهَا مُصۡبِحِينَ ﴿١٧﴾

68:17Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morning

وَلَا يَسۡتَثۡنُونَ ﴿١٨﴾

68:18Without making exception

فَطَافَ عَلَيۡهَا طَآئِفٞ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَهُمۡ نَآئِمُونَ ﴿١٩﴾

68:19So there came upon the garden an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep

فَأَصۡبَحَتۡ كَٱلصَّرِيمِ ﴿٢٠﴾

68:20And it became as though reaped

فَتَنَادَوۡاْ مُصۡبِحِينَ ﴿٢١﴾

68:21And they called one another at morning

أَنِ ٱغۡدُواْ عَلَىٰ حَرۡثِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰرِمِينَ ﴿٢٢﴾

68:22[Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit

فَٱنطَلَقُواْ وَهُمۡ يَتَخَٰفَتُونَ ﴿٢٣﴾

68:23So they set out, while lowering their voices

أَن لَّا يَدۡخُلَنَّهَا ٱلۡيَوۡمَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّسۡكِينٞ ﴿٢٤﴾

68:24[Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person

وَغَدَوۡاْ عَلَىٰ حَرۡدٖ قَٰدِرِينَ ﴿٢٥﴾

68:25And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able

فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡهَا قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا لَضَآلُّونَ ﴿٢٦﴾

68:26But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost

بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ ﴿٢٧﴾

68:27Rather, we have been deprived

قَالَ أَوۡسَطُهُمۡ أَلَمۡ أَقُل لَّكُمۡ لَوۡلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ ﴿٢٨﴾

68:28The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allah]

قَالُواْ سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ ﴿٢٩﴾

68:29They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers

فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَلَٰوَمُونَ ﴿٣٠﴾

68:30Then they approached one another, blaming each other

قَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا طَٰغِينَ ﴿٣١﴾

68:31They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors

عَسَىٰ رَبُّنَآ أَن يُبۡدِلَنَا خَيۡرٗا مِّنۡهَآ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا رَٰغِبُونَ ﴿٣٢﴾

68:32Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous

كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡعَذَابُۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَكۡبَرُۚ لَوۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ ﴿٣٣﴾

68:33Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew

إِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ﴿٣٤﴾

68:34Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure

أَفَنَجۡعَلُ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ كَٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ ﴿٣٥﴾

68:35Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ ﴿٣٦﴾

68:36What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ كِتَٰبٞ فِيهِ تَدۡرُسُونَ ﴿٣٧﴾

68:37Or do you have a scripture in which you learn

إِنَّ لَكُمۡ فِيهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ ﴿٣٨﴾

68:38That indeed for you is whatever you choose

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ أَيۡمَٰنٌ عَلَيۡنَا بَٰلِغَةٌ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ إِنَّ لَكُمۡ لَمَا تَحۡكُمُونَ ﴿٣٩﴾

68:39Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge

سَلۡهُمۡ أَيُّهُم بِذَٰلِكَ زَعِيمٌ ﴿٤٠﴾

68:40Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible

أَمۡ لَهُمۡ شُرَكَآءُ فَلۡيَأۡتُواْ بِشُرَكَآئِهِمۡ إِن كَانُواْ صَٰدِقِينَ ﴿٤١﴾

68:41Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful

يَوۡمَ يُكۡشَفُ عَن سَاقٖ وَيُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ ﴿٤٢﴾

68:42The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but the disbelievers will not be able

خَٰشِعَةً أَبۡصَٰرُهُمۡ تَرۡهَقُهُمۡ ذِلَّةٞۖ وَقَدۡ كَانُواْ يُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ وَهُمۡ سَٰلِمُونَ ﴿٤٣﴾

68:43Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound

فَذَرۡنِي وَمَن يُكَذِّبُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِۖ سَنَسۡتَدۡرِجُهُم مِّنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ﴿٤٤﴾

68:44So leave Me, [O Muhammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies the Qur'an. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know

وَأُمۡلِي لَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ كَيۡدِي مَتِينٌ ﴿٤٥﴾

68:45And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm

أَمۡ تَسۡـَٔلُهُمۡ أَجۡرٗا فَهُم مِّن مَّغۡرَمٖ مُّثۡقَلُونَ ﴿٤٦﴾

68:46Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down

أَمۡ عِندَهُمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبُ فَهُمۡ يَكۡتُبُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾

68:47Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down

فَٱصۡبِرۡ لِحُكۡمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُن كَصَاحِبِ ٱلۡحُوتِ إِذۡ نَادَىٰ وَهُوَ مَكۡظُومٞ ﴿٤٨﴾

68:48Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muhammad], and be not like the companion of the fish when he called out while he was distressed

لَّوۡلَآ أَن تَدَٰرَكَهُۥ نِعۡمَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ لَنُبِذَ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ مَذۡمُومٞ ﴿٤٩﴾

68:49If not that a favor from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured

فَٱجۡتَبَٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَجَعَلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ﴿٥٠﴾

68:50And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous

وَإِن يَكَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَيُزۡلِقُونَكَ بِأَبۡصَٰرِهِمۡ لَمَّا سَمِعُواْ ٱلذِّكۡرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُۥ لَمَجۡنُونٞ ﴿٥١﴾

68:51And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad

وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرٞ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿٥٢﴾

68:52But it is not except a reminder to the worlds
