15. Surah Al-Hijr

1. Alif-Laaam-Raa; tilka Aayaatul Kitaabi wa Qur-aa-nim Mubeen

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ الٓر ۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَقُرْءَانٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ

Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the Book and a clear Qur'an.

2. Rubamaa yawaddul lazeena kafaroo law kaanoo muslimeen

رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ مُسْلِمِينَ

Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish that they had been Muslims.

3. Zarhum yaakuloo wa tatamatta'oo wa yulhihimul amalu fasawfa ya'lamoon

ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا۟ وَيَتَمَتَّعُوا۟ وَيُلْهِهِمُ ٱلْأَمَلُ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know.

4. Wa maaa ahlaknaa min qaryatin illaa wa lahaa kitaabum ma'loom

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ

And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree.

5. Maa tasbiqu min ummatin ajalahaa wa maa yastaakhiroon

مَّا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ

No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter.

6. Wa qaaloo yaaa aiyuhal lazee nuzzila 'alaihiz Zikru innaka lamajnoon

وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِى نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌۭ

And they say, "O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad.

7. Law maa taateenaa bil malaaa'ikati in kunta minas saadiqeen

لَّوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

Why do you not bring us the angels, if you should be among the truthful?"

8. Maa nunazzilul malaaa'i kata illaa bilhaqqi wa maa kaanooo izam munzareen

مَا نُنَزِّلُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوٓا۟ إِذًۭا مُّنظَرِينَ

We do not send down the angels except with truth; and the disbelievers would not then be reprieved.

9. Innaa Nahnu nazalnaz Zikra wa Innaa lahoo lahaa fizoon

إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ

Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian.

10. Wa laqad arsalnaa min qablika fee shiya'il awwaleen

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِى شِيَعِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

And We had certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muhammad], among the sects of the former peoples.
