43. Surah Az-Zukhruf

1. Haa-Meeem

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ حمٓ

Ha, Meem.

2. Wal Kitaabil Mubeen

وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

By the clear Book,

3. Innaa ja'alnaahu Quraanan 'Arabiyyal la'allakum ta'qiloon

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهُ قُرْءَٰنًا عَرَبِيًّۭا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand.

4. Wa innahoo feee Ummil Kitaabi Ladainaa la'aliyyun hakeem

وَإِنَّهُۥ فِىٓ أُمِّ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لَدَيْنَا لَعَلِىٌّ حَكِيمٌ

And indeed it is, in the Mother of the Book with Us, exalted and full of wisdom.

5. Afanadribu 'ankumuz Zikra safhan an kuntum qawmam musrifeen

أَفَنَضْرِبُ عَنكُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَ صَفْحًا أَن كُنتُمْ قَوْمًۭا مُّسْرِفِينَ

Then should We turn the message away, disregarding you, because you are a transgressing people?

6. Wa kam arsalnaa min Nabiyyin fil awwaleen

وَكَمْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن نَّبِىٍّۢ فِى ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

And how many a prophet We sent among the former peoples,

7. Wa maa yaateehim min Nabiyyin illaa kaanoo bihee yasahzi'oon

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن نَّبِىٍّ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

But there would not come to them a prophet except that they used to ridicule him.

8. Fa ahlaknaaa ashadda minhum batshanw wa madaa masalul lawwaleen

فَأَهْلَكْنَآ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُم بَطْشًۭا وَمَضَىٰ مَثَلُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

And We destroyed greater than them in [striking] power, and the example of the former peoples has preceded.

9. Wa la'in sa altahum man khalaqas samaawaati wal arda la yaqoolunna khalaqa hunnal 'Azeezul 'Aleem

وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

And if you should ask them, "Who has created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "They were created by the Exalted in Might, the Knowing."

10. Allazee ja'ala lakumul arda mahdanw wa ja'ala lakum feehaa subulal la'allakum tahtadoon

ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ مَهْدًۭا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلًۭا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ

[The one] who has made for you the earth a bed and made for you upon it roads that you might be guided
