  • 46:21

     ۞ وَاذْكُرْ أَخَا عَادٍ إِذْ أَنذَرَ قَوْمَهُ بِالْأَحْقَافِ وَقَدْ خَلَتِ النُّذُرُ مِن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا اللَّهَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

    вəəз̃кур əхōō 'əəдин из̃ əŋŋз̃əрō ќōумəhу би-ль-əhќōōфи вəќōд хōлəтин-нуз̃уру мимм-бэйни йəдəйhи вəмин хōльфиhи əльлəə тə'будуу ильлəл-лаhə иннии əхōōфу 'əлэйкум 'əз̃əəбə йəумин 'əз̃ыым

    And mention [Hud] the brother of ‘Ad, when he warned his people at Ahqaf—and warners have passed away before and after him—saying, ‘Do not worship anyone but Allah. Indeed I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous day.’
  • 46:22

    قَالُوا أَجِئْتَنَا لِتَأْفِكَنَا عَنْ آلِهَتِنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَا إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ

    ќōōлюю əджи`тəнəə литə`фикəнəə 'əн əəлиhəтинəə фə`тинəə бимəə тə'идунəə иŋŋ-куŋŋтə минəс-сōōдиќиин

    They said, ‘Have you come to turn us away from our gods? Then bring us what you threaten us with, if you are truthful.
  • 46:23

    قَالَ إِنَّمَا الْعِلْمُ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَأُبَلِّغُكُم مَّا أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ وَلَـٰكِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُونَ

    ќōōлə иннəмəəль-'ильму 'иŋŋдəл-лаhи вə`убəллиґукум-мəə урсильту биhи вəлəəкиннии əрōōкум ќōумəн тəджhəлююн

    He said, ‘The knowledge [of when that threat will be carried out] is with Allah alone. I communicate to you what I have been sent with. But I see that you are a senseless lot.’
  • 46:24

    فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ عَارِضًا مُّسْتَقْبِلَ أَوْدِيَتِهِمْ قَالُوا هَـٰذَا عَارِضٌ مُّمْطِرُنَا  ۚ بَلْ هُوَ مَا اسْتَعْجَلْتُم بِهِ  ۖ رِيحٌ فِيهَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

    фəлəммəə рō`əуhу 'əəридōмм-мустəќбилə əудийəтиhим ќōōлюю həəз̃əə 'əəридумм-мумтырунəə, бəль hувə мəə-стə'джəльтумм-биh, рииhун фииhəə 'əз̃əəбун əлиим

    When they saw it as a cloud advancing toward their valleys, they said, ‘This cloud brings us rain.’ ‘No, it is what you sought to hasten: a hurricane carrying a painful punishment,
  • 46:25

    تُدَمِّرُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ بِأَمْرِ رَبِّهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا لَا يُرَىٰ إِلَّا مَسَاكِنُهُمْ  ۚ كَذَ‌ٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْقَوْمَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ

    тудəммиру кульлə шэй`имм-би`əмри рōббиhəə фə`əсбəhуу лəə йурōō ильлəə мəсəəкинуhум, кəз̃əəликə нəджзииль-ќōумəль-муджримиин

    destroying everything by its Lord’s command.’ So they became such that nothing could be seen except their dwellings. Thus do We requite the guilty lot.
  • 46:26

    وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنَّاهُمْ فِيمَا إِن مَّكَّنَّاكُمْ فِيهِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ سَمْعًا وَأَبْصَارًا وَأَفْئِدَةً فَمَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُمْ سَمْعُهُمْ وَلَا أَبْصَارُهُمْ وَلَا أَفْئِدَتُهُم مِّن شَيْءٍ إِذْ كَانُوا يَجْحَدُونَ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ

    вəлəќōд мəккəннəəhум фиимəə имм-мəккəннəəкум фииhи вəджə'əльнəə лəhум сəм'əу-вə`əбсōōрōу-вə`əф`идəтəн фəмəə əґнəə 'əнhум сəм'уhум вəлəə əбсōōруhум вəлəə əф`идəтуhум-миŋŋ-шэй`ин из̃ кəəнуу йəджhəдуунə би`əəйəəтиль-лəhи вəhəəќō биhим-мəə кəəнуу биhи йəстəhзи`уун

    Certainly We had granted them power in respects that We have not granted you, and We had vested them with hearing and sight and hearts. But neither their hearing availed them in any way nor did their sight, nor their hearts when they used to impugn the signs of Allah. So they were besieged by what they used to deride.
  • 46:27

    وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا مَا حَوْلَكُم مِّنَ الْقُرَىٰ وَصَرَّفْنَا الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

    вəлəќōд əhлəкнəə мəə həулəкум-минəль-ќурōō вəсōррōфнəəль-əəйəəти лə'əльлəhум йəрджи'уун

    Certainly We have destroyed the towns that were around you, and We have variously paraphrased the signs so that they may come back.
  • 46:28

    فَلَوْلَا نَصَرَهُمُ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ قُرْبَانًا آلِهَةً  ۖ بَلْ ضَلُّوا عَنْهُمْ  ۚ وَذَ‌ٰلِكَ إِفْكُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ

    фəлəулəə нəсōрōhумуль-лəз̃иинə-ттəхōз̃уу миŋŋ-дууниль-лəhи ќурбəəнəн əəлиhəh, бəль дōллюю 'əнhум, вəз̃əəликə ифкуhум вəмəə кəəнуу йəфтəруун

    So why did not those [fake deities] help them whom they had taken as gods besides Allah, as a means of nearness [to Him]? Indeed, they forsook them; that was their lie and what they used to fabricate.
  • 46:29

    وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَا إِلَيْكَ نَفَرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْآنَ فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوهُ قَالُوا أَنصِتُوا  ۖ فَلَمَّا قُضِيَ وَلَّوْا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِم مُّنذِرِينَ

    вə`из̃ сōрōфнəə илəйкə нəфəрōмм-минəль-джинни йəстəми'уунəль-ќур`əəнə фəлəммəə həдōрууhу ќōōлюю əŋŋсытуу, фəлəммəə ќудыйə вəльлəу илəə ќōумиhим-муŋŋз̃ириин

    When We dispatched toward you a team of jinn listening to the Quran, when they were in its presence, they said, ‘Be silent!’ When it was finished, they went back to their people as warners.
  • 46:30

    قَالُوا يَا قَوْمَنَا إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا كِتَابًا أُنزِلَ مِن بَعْدِ مُوسَىٰ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْحَقِّ وَإِلَىٰ طَرِيقٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

    ќōōлюю йəə ќōумəнəə иннəə сəми'нəə китəəбəн уŋŋзилə мимм-бə'ди муусəə мусōддиќōл-лимəə бэйнə йəдəйhи йəhдии илəəль-həќќи вə`илəə тōрииќимм-мустəќиим

    They said, ‘O our people! Indeed, we have heard a Book, which has been sent down after Moses, confirming what was before it. It guides to the truth and to a straight path.
  • 46:31

    يَا قَوْمَنَا أَجِيبُوا دَاعِيَ اللَّهِ وَآمِنُوا بِهِ يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُجِرْكُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

    йəə ќōумəнəə əджиибуу дəə'ийəл-лаhи вə`əəминуу биhи йəґфир лəкум-миŋŋ-з̃унуубикум вəйуджиркум-мин 'əз̃əəбин əлиим

    O our people! Respond to Allah’s summoner and have faith in Him. He will forgive you some of your sins and shelter you from a painful punishment.’
  • 46:32

    وَمَن لَّا يُجِبْ دَاعِيَ اللَّهِ فَلَيْسَ بِمُعْجِزٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ مِن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءُ  ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ

    вəмəль-лəə йуджиб дəə'ийəл-лаhи фəлэйсə биму'джизин фииль-əрды вəлэйсə лəhу миŋŋ-дууниhи əулийəə, уулəə`икə фии дōлəəлимм-мубиин

    Those who do not respond to Allah’s summoner cannot frustrate [Allah] on the earth, and they will not find any protectors besides Him. They are in manifest error.
  • 46:33

    أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَلَمْ يَعْيَ بِخَلْقِهِنَّ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَىٰ أَن يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَىٰ  ۚ بَلَىٰ إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

    əвəлəм йəрōу əннəл-лаhəль-лəз̃ии хōлəќōс-сəмəəвəəти вəəль`əрдō вəлəм йə'йə бихōльќиhиннə биќōōдирин 'əлəə əй-йуhйийəль-мəутəə, бəлəə иннəhу 'əлəə кулли шэй`ин ќōдиир

    Do they not see that Allah, who created the heavens and the earth and [who] was not exhausted by their creation, is able to revive the dead? Yes, indeed He has power over all things.
  • 46:34

    وَيَوْمَ يُعْرَضُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا عَلَى النَّارِ أَلَيْسَ هَـٰذَا بِالْحَقِّ  ۖ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ وَرَبِّنَا  ۚ قَالَ فَذُوقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ

    вəйəумə йу'рōдуль-лəз̃иинə кəфəруу 'əлəəн-нəəри əлэйсə həəз̃əə би-ль-həќќ, ќōōлюю бəлəə вəрōббинəə, ќōōлə фəз̃ууќууль-'əз̃əəбə бимəə куŋŋтум тəкфуруун

    The day when the faithless are exposed to the Fire, [He will say,] ‘Is this not a fact?’ They will say, ‘Yes, by our Lord!’ He will say, ‘So taste the punishment because of what you used to disbelieve.’
  • 46:35

    فَاصْبِرْ كَمَا صَبَرَ أُولُو الْعَزْمِ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ وَلَا تَسْتَعْجِل لَّهُمْ  ۚ كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَ مَا يُوعَدُونَ لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا سَاعَةً مِّن نَّهَارٍ  ۚ بَلَاغٌ  ۚ فَهَلْ يُهْلَكُ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ

    фəəсбир кəмəə сōбəрō уулююль-'əзми минəр-русули вəлəə тəстə'джиль-лəhум, кə`əннəhум йəумə йəрōунə мəə йуу'əдуунə лəм йəльбəc̃уу ильлəə сəə'əтəмм-мин-нəhəəр, бəлəəґ, фəhəль йуhлəку ильлəəль-ќōумуль-фəəсиќуун

    So be patient just as the resolute among the apostles were patient, and do not seek to hasten [the punishment] for them. The day when they see what they are promised, [it will be] as though they had remained [in the world] only an hour of a day. This is a proclamation. So shall anyone be destroyed except the transgressing lot?
