الۤرٰ تِلۡكَ اٰيٰتُ الۡـكِتٰبِ وَقُرۡاٰنٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ ١
15:1Alif. Lam. Ra. These are verses of the Scripture and a plain Reading.
رُبَمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا لَوۡ كَانُوۡا مُسۡلِمِيۡنَ ٢
15:2It may be that those who disbelieve wish ardently that they were Muslims.
ذَرۡهُمۡ يَاۡكُلُوۡا وَيَتَمَتَّعُوۡا وَيُلۡهِهِمُ الۡاَمَلُ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ٣
15:3Let them eat and enjoy life, and let (false) hope beguile them. They will come to know!
وَمَاۤ اَهۡلَـكۡنَا مِنۡ قَرۡيَةٍ اِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَّعۡلُوۡمٌ ٤
15:4And We destroyed no township but there was a known decree for it.
مَا تَسۡبِقُ مِنۡ اُمَّةٍ اَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسۡتَاْخِرُوۡنَ ٥
15:5No nation can outstrip its term nor can they lag behind.
وَقَالُوۡا يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِىۡ نُزِّلَ عَلَيۡهِ الذِّكۡرُ اِنَّكَ لَمَجۡنُوۡنٌؕ ٦
15:6And they say: O thou unto whom the Reminder is revealed, lo! thou art indeed a madman!
لَوۡ مَا تَاۡتِيۡنَا بِالۡمَلٰۤٮِٕكَةِ اِنۡ كُنۡتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيۡنَ ٧
15:7Why bringest thou not angels unto us, if thou art of the truthful?
مَا نُنَزِّلُ الۡمَلٰۤٮِٕكَةَ اِلَّا بِالۡحَـقِّ وَمَا كَانُوۡۤا اِذًا مُّنۡظَرِيۡنَ ٨
15:8We send not down the angels save with the Fact, and in that case (the disbelievers) would not be tolerated.
اِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَزَّلۡنَا الذِّكۡرَ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ لَحٰـفِظُوۡنَ ٩
15:9Lo! We, even We, reveal the Reminder, and lo! We verily are its Guardian.
وَلَـقَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا مِنۡ قَبۡلِكَ فِىۡ شِيَعِ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَ ١٠
15:10We verily sent (messengers) before thee among the factions of the men of old.
وَمَا يَاۡتِيۡهِمۡ مِّنۡ رَّسُوۡلٍ اِلَّا كَانُوۡا بِهٖ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُوۡنَ ١١
15:11And never came there unto them a messenger but they did mock him.
كَذٰ لِكَ نَسۡلُكُهٗ فِىۡ قُلُوۡبِ الۡمُجۡرِمِيۡنَۙ ١٢
15:12Thus do We make it traverse the hearts of the guilty:
لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِهٖۚ وَقَدۡ خَلَتۡ سُنَّةُ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَ ١٣
15:13They believe not therein, though the example of the men of old hath gone before.
وَلَوۡ فَتَحۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ بَابًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّوۡا فِيۡهِ يَعۡرُجُوۡنَۙ ١٤
15:14And even if We opened unto them a Gate of heaven and they kept mounting through it,
لَـقَالُوۡۤا اِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتۡ اَبۡصَارُنَا بَلۡ نَحۡنُ قَوۡمٌ مَّسۡحُوۡرُوۡنَ ١٥
15:15They would say: Our sight is wrong - nay, but we are folk bewitched.
وَلَـقَدۡ جَعَلۡنَا فِى السَّمَآءِ بُرُوۡجًا وَّزَيَّـنّٰهَا لِلنّٰظِرِيۡنَۙ ١٦
15:16And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of the stars, and We have beautified it for beholders.
وَحَفِظۡنٰهَا مِنۡ كُلِّ شَيۡطٰنٍ رَّجِيۡمٍۙ ١٧
15:17And We have guarded it from every outcast devil,
اِلَّا مَنِ اسۡتَرَقَ السَّمۡعَ فَاَتۡبَعَهٗ شِهَابٌ مُّبِيۡنٌ ١٨
15:18Save him who stealeth the hearing, and them doth a clear flame pursue.
وَالۡاَرۡضَ مَدَدۡنٰهَا وَاَلۡقَيۡنَا فِيۡهَا رَوَاسِىَ وَاَنۡۢبَتۡنَا فِيۡهَا مِنۡ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ مَّوۡزُوۡنٍ ١٩
15:19And the earth have We spread out, and placed therein firm hills, and caused each seemly thing to grow therein.
وَجَعَلۡنَا لَـكُمۡ فِيۡهَا مَعَايِشَ وَمَنۡ لَّسۡتُمۡ لَهٗ بِرٰزِقِيۡنَ ٢٠
15:20And we have given unto you livelihoods therein, and unto those for whom ye provide not.
وَاِنۡ مِّنۡ شَىۡءٍ اِلَّا عِنۡدَنَا خَزَآٮِٕنُهٗ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهٗۤ اِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَّعۡلُوۡمٍ ٢١
15:21And there is not a thing but with Us are the stores thereof. And we send it not down save in appointed measure.
وَاَرۡسَلۡنَا الرِّيٰحَ لَوَاقِحَ فَاَنۡزَلۡنَا مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَاَسۡقَيۡنٰكُمُوۡهُۚ وَمَاۤ اَنۡتُمۡ لَهٗ بِخٰزِنِيۡنَ ٢٢
15:22And We send the winds fertilising, and cause water to descend from the sky, and give it you to drink. It is not ye who are the holders of the store thereof.
وَاِنَّا لَــنَحۡنُ نُحۡىٖ وَنُمِيۡتُ وَنَحۡنُ الۡوٰرِثُوۡنَ ٢٣
15:23Lo! and it is We, even We, Who quicken and give death, and We are the Inheritor.
وَلَـقَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا الۡمُسۡتَقۡدِمِيۡنَ مِنۡكُمۡ وَلَـقَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا الۡمُسۡتَـاْخِرِيۡنَ ٢٤
15:24And verily We know who go forward among you and verily We know the laggards.
وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحۡشُرُهُمۡؕ اِنَّهٗ حَكِيۡمٌ عَلِيۡمٌ ٢٥
15:25Lo! thy Lord will gather them together. Lo! He is Wise, Aware.
