Surah Fussilat (حٰمٓ السجدة / فُصّلَت)

Ayat 1–25

حٰمٓۚ ۝١

41:1Ha. Mim.

تَنۡزِيۡلٌ مِّنَ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِۚ ۝٢

41:2A revelation from the Beneficent, the Merciful,

كِتٰبٌ فُصِّلَتۡ اٰيٰتُهٗ قُرۡاٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لِّقَوۡمٍ يَّعۡلَمُوۡنَۙ ۝٣

41:3A Scripture whereof the verses are expounded, a Lecture in Arabic for people who have knowledge,

بَشِيۡرًا وَّنَذِيۡرًاۚ فَاَعۡرَضَ اَكۡثَرُهُمۡ فَهُمۡ لَا يَسۡمَعُوۡنَ ۝٤

41:4Good tidings and a warning. But most of them turn away so that they hear not.

وَقَالُوۡا قُلُوۡبُنَا فِىۡۤ اَكِنَّةٍ مِّمَّا تَدۡعُوۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡهِ وَفِىۡۤ اٰذَانِنَا وَقۡرٌ وَّمِنۡۢ بَيۡنِنَا وَبَيۡنِكَ حِجَابٌ فَاعۡمَلۡ اِنَّنَا عٰمِلُوۡنَ ۝٥

41:5And they say: Our hearts are protected from that unto which thou (O Muhammad) callest us, and in our ears there is a deafness, and between us and thee there is a veil. Act, then. Lo! we also shall be acting.

قُلۡ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنَا بَشَرٌ مِّثۡلُكُمۡ يُوۡحٰٓى اِلَىَّ اَنَّمَاۤ اِلٰهُكُمۡ اِلٰـهٌ وَّاحِدٌ فَاسۡتَقِيۡمُوۡۤا اِلَيۡهِ وَاسۡتَغۡفِرُوۡهُؕ وَوَيۡلٌ لِّلۡمُشۡرِكِيۡنَۙ ۝٦

41:6Say (unto them O Muhammad): I am only a mortal like you. It is inspired in me that your God is One God, therefore take the straight path unto Him and seek forgiveness of Him. And woe unto the idolaters,

الَّذِيۡنَ لَا يُؤۡتُوۡنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَهُمۡ بِالۡاٰخِرَةِ هُمۡ كٰفِرُوۡنَ ۝٧

41:7Who give not the poor-due, and who are disbelievers in the Hereafter.

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمۡ اَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُوۡنٍ ۝٨

41:8Lo! as for those who believe and do good works, for them is a reward enduring.

قُلۡ اَٮِٕنَّكُمۡ لَتَكۡفُرُوۡنَ بِالَّذِىۡ خَلَقَ الۡاَرۡضَ فِىۡ يَوۡمَيۡنِ وَتَجۡعَلُوۡنَ لَهٗۤ اَنۡدَادًاؕ ذٰ لِكَ رَبُّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَۚ ۝٩

41:9Say (O Muhammad, unto the idolaters): Disbelieve ye verily in Him Who created the earth in two Days, and ascribe ye unto Him rivals? He (and none else) is the Lord of the Worlds.

وَجَعَلَ فِيۡهَا رَوَاسِىَ مِنۡ فَوۡقِهَا وَبٰرَكَ فِيۡهَا وَقَدَّرَ فِيۡهَاۤ اَقۡوَاتَهَا فِىۡۤ اَرۡبَعَةِ اَيَّامٍؕ سَوَآءً لِّلسَّآٮِٕلِيۡنَ ۝١٠

41:10He placed therein firm hills rising above it, and blessed it and measured therein its sustenance in four Days, alike for (all) who ask;

ثُمَّ اسۡتَـوٰۤى اِلَى السَّمَآءِ وَهِىَ دُخَانٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلۡاَرۡضِ ائۡتِيَا طَوۡعًا اَوۡ كَرۡهًاؕ قَالَتَاۤ اَتَيۡنَا طَآٮِٕعِيۡنَ ۝١١

41:11Then turned He to the heaven when it was smoke, and said unto it and unto the earth: Come both of you, willingly or loth. They said: We come, obedient.

فَقَضٰٮهُنَّ سَبۡعَ سَمٰوَاتٍ فِىۡ يَوۡمَيۡنِ وَاَوۡحٰى فِىۡ كُلِّ سَمَآءٍ اَمۡرَهَاؕ وَزَيَّـنَّـا السَّمَآءَ الدُّنۡيَا بِمَصَابِيۡحَۖ وَحِفۡظًاؕ ذٰ لِكَ تَقۡدِيۡرُ الۡعَزِيۡزِ الۡعَلِيۡمِ ۝١٢

41:12Then He ordained them seven heavens in two Days and inspired in each heaven its mandate; and We decked the nether heaven with lamps, and rendered it inviolable. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Knower.

فَاِنۡ اَعۡرَضُوۡا فَقُلۡ اَنۡذَرۡتُكُمۡ صٰعِقَةً مِّثۡلَ صٰعِقَةِ عَادٍ وَّثَمُوۡدَؕ ۝١٣

41:13But if they turn away, then say: I warn you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt (which fell of old upon the tribes) of A'ad and Thamud;

اِذۡ جَآءَتۡهُمُ الرُّسُلُ مِنۡۢ بَيۡنِ اَيۡدِيۡهِمۡ وَمِنۡ خَلۡفِهِمۡ اَلَّا تَعۡبُدُوۡۤا اِلَّا اللّٰهَؕ قَالُوۡا لَوۡ شَآءَ رَبُّنَا لَاَنۡزَلَ مَلٰٓٮِٕكَةً فَاِنَّا بِمَاۤ اُرۡسِلۡتُمۡ بِهٖ كٰفِرُوۡنَ ۝١٤

41:14When their messengers came unto them from before them and behind them, saying: Worship none but Allah! they said: If our Lord had willed, He surely would have sent down angels (unto us), so lo! we are disbelievers in that wherewith ye have been sent.

فَاَمَّا عَادٌ فَاسۡتَكۡبَرُوۡا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ بِغَيۡرِ الۡحَقِّ وَقَالُوۡا مَنۡ اَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةً ؕ اَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ الَّذِىۡ خَلَقَهُمۡ هُوَ اَشَدُّ مِنۡهُمۡ قُوَّةً ؕ وَكَانُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِنَا يَجۡحَدُوۡنَ ۝١٥

41:15As for A'ad, they were arrogant in the land without right, and they said: Who is mightier than us in power? Could they not see that Allah Who created them, He was mightier than them in power? And they denied Our revelations.

فَاَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ رِيۡحًا صَرۡصَرًا فِىۡۤ اَيَّامٍ نَّحِسَاتٍ لِّـنُذِيۡقَهُمۡ عَذَابَ الۡخِزۡىِ فِى الۡحَيٰوةِ الدُّنۡيَاؕ وَلَعَذَابُ الۡاٰخِرَةِ اَخۡزٰى وَهُمۡ لَا يُنۡصَرُوۡنَ ۝١٦

41:16Therefor We let loose on them a raging wind in evil days, that We might make them taste the torment of disgrace in the life of the world. And verily the doom of the Hereafter will be more shameful, and they will not be helped.

وَاَمَّا ثَمُوۡدُ فَهَدَيۡنٰهُمۡ فَاسۡتَحَبُّوا الۡعَمٰى عَلَى الۡهُدٰى فَاَخَذَتۡهُمۡ صٰعِقَةُ الۡعَذَابِ الۡهُوۡنِ بِمَا كَانُوۡا يَكۡسِبُوۡنَۚ ۝١٧

41:17And as for Thamud, We gave them guidance, but they preferred blindness to the guidance, so the bolt of the doom of humiliation overtook them because of what they used to earn.

وَ نَجَّيۡنَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَكَانُوۡا يَتَّقُوۡنَ ۝١٨

41:18And We delivered those who believed and used to keep their duty to Allah.

وَيَوۡمَ يُحۡشَرُ اَعۡدَآءُ اللّٰهِ اِلَى النَّارِ فَهُمۡ يُوۡزَعُوۡنَ ۝١٩

41:19And (make mention of) the day when the enemies of Allah are gathered unto the Fire, they are driven on

حَتّٰٓى اِذَا مَا جَآءُوۡهَا شَهِدَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سَمۡعُهُمۡ وَاَبۡصَارُهُمۡ وَجُلُوۡدُهُمۡ بِمَا كَانُوۡا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ ۝٢٠

41:20Till, when they reach it, their ears and their eyes and their skins testify against them as to what they used to do.

وَقَالُوۡا لِجُلُوۡدِهِمۡ لِمَ شَهِدْتُّمۡ عَلَيۡنَاؕ قَالُوۡۤا اَنۡطَقَنَا اللّٰهُ الَّذِىۡۤ اَنۡطَقَ كُلَّ شَىۡءٍ وَّهُوَ خَلَقَكُمۡ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَّاِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُوۡنَ ۝٢١

41:21And they say unto their skins: Why testify ye against us? They say: Allah hath given us speech Who giveth speech to all things, and Who created you at the first, and unto Whom ye are returned.

وَمَا كُنۡتُمۡ تَسۡتَتِرُوۡنَ اَنۡ يَّشۡهَدَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ سَمۡعُكُمۡ وَلَاۤ اَبۡصَارُكُمۡ وَلَا جُلُوۡدُكُمۡ وَلٰكِنۡ ظَنَنۡتُمۡ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَعۡلَمُ كَثِيۡرًا مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ ۝٢٢

41:22Ye did not hide yourselves lest your ears and your eyes and your skins should testify against you, but ye deemed that Allah knew not much of what ye did.

وَذٰلِكُمۡ ظَنُّكُمُ الَّذِىۡ ظَنَنۡتُمۡ بِرَبِّكُمۡ اَرۡدٰٮكُمۡ فَاَصۡبَحۡتُمۡ مِّنَ الۡخٰسِرِيۡنَ ۝٢٣

41:23That, your thought which ye did think about your Lord, hath ruined you; and ye find yourselves (this day) among the lost.

فَاِنۡ يَّصۡبِرُوۡا فَالنَّارُ مَثۡوًى لَّهُمۡؕ وَاِنۡ يَّسۡتَعۡتِبُوۡا فَمَا هُمۡ مِّنَ الۡمُعۡتَبِيۡنَ ۝٢٤

41:24And though they are resigned, yet the Fire is still their home; and if they ask for favour, yet they are not of those unto whom favour can be shown.

وَقَيَّضۡنَا لَهُمۡ قُرَنَآءَ فَزَيَّنُوۡا لَهُمۡ مَّا بَيۡنَ اَيۡدِيۡهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ وَحَقَّ عَلَيۡهِمُ الۡقَوۡلُ فِىۡۤ اُمَمٍ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهِمۡ مِّنَ الۡجِنِّ وَالۡاِنۡسِۚ اِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوۡا خٰسِرِيۡنَ ۝٢٥

41:25And We assigned them comrades (in the world), who made their present and their past fairseeming unto them. And the Word concerning nations of the jinn and humankind who passed away before them hath effect for them. Verily they were ever losers.
