سورة الأنبياء ـ بندر بليله

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed devil.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

إِقَجَرَ بَنِ النَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِي ظَفْلَةٍ مُعْرِضُونَ

The people's reckoning has come while they are in heedlessness, turning away.

مَا يَأْتِيهِمْ مِنْ ذِكْرٍ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا اسْتَمَعُوهُ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ

"Nothing new comes to them from their Lord's reminder except that they listen to it while they are playing."

لَاهِيَةً قُلُوبُهُمْ وَأَسَرُّ النَّجْوَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا هَلْ هَذَا إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ أَفَتَأْتُونَ السِّحْرَ وَأَنْتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ

Their hearts are distracted, and those who have wronged whisper secretly, "Is this anything except a human like you? Will you come to magic while you see?"

قال ربي يعلم القول في السماء والأرض

My Lord knows the spoken words in the heavens and the earth.

وهو السميع العليم

And He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

بل قالوا أضغاث أحلام بل افتراه بل هو شاعر

But they said, "These are just confused dreams; rather, he has fabricated it; rather, he is a poet."

فليأتنا بآية كما أرسل الأولون

"Let him bring us a sign like those sent to the ancients."

ما آمنت قبلهم من قرية أهلكناها

No village that We destroyed had believed before them.

أفهم يؤمنون

I understand they believe.

وما أرسلنا قبلك إلا رجالا نوحي إليهم

"And We did not send before you except men to whom We revealed."

فاسألوا أهل الذكر إن كنتم لا تعلمون

So ask the people of knowledge if you do not know.

وما جعلناهم جسدا لا يأكلون الطعام وما كانوا خالدين

"And We did not make them bodies that did not eat food, nor were they immortal."

ثم صدقناهم الوعد فأنجيناهم ومن نشاء

Then We fulfilled the promise to them, so We saved them and whom We willed.

وأهلكنا المسرفين

And We destroyed the excessors.

لقد أنزلنا إليكم كتابا فيه ذكركم أفلا تعقلون

We have sent down to you a Book in which is your mention; will you not then understand?

وكم قصمنا من قرية كانت ظالمة

And how many towns have We destroyed that were oppressive.

وأنشأنا بعدها قوما آخرين

And We created after them another people.

فلما أحسوا بأسنا إذا هم منها يركضون

So when they felt Our might, they began to flee from it.

لا تركضوا وارجعون

Don't run and come back.

إلى ما أترفتم فيه ومساكنكم لعلكم تسألون

To what you have indulged in and your dwellings, perhaps you will be questioned.

قالوا يا ويلنا إنا كنا ظالمين

They said, "Oh, woe to us! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

فما زالت تلك دعواهم حتى جعلناهم حصيدا خامدين

So their claim continued until We made them as stubble, silent and dormant.

وما خلقنا السماء

"And We did not create the heaven..."

والأرض وما بينهما لاعبين

"And the earth and what is between them are players."

لو أردنا أن نتخذ لهوا لاتخذناه من لدنا إن كنا فاعلين

If we wanted to take a diversion, we could have taken it from ourselves, if we were to do so.

بل نقذف بالحق على الباطل فيدمغه فإذا هو ساهق

"But we throw the truth at falsehood, and it knocks out its brain, and behold, it vanishes."

ولكم الويل مما يحقون

"Woe to you for what you have written."

وله من في السماوات والأرض

To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth.

ومن عنده لا يستكبرون

"And those who are with Him do not disdain."

عن عبادته ولا يستحسرون

Regarding their worship, and they do not grow weary.

يسبحون الليل والمهار لا يفترون

They swim in the night and the morning, never tiring.

أم اتخذوا آلهة من الأرض هم ينشرون

"Or have they taken deities from the earth while they spread?"

لو كان فيهما آلهة إلا الله لفسدتا

"If there were gods in them besides Allah, they would surely have been corrupted."

فسبحان الله رب العرش عما يصفون

So glorified is Allah, the Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.

لا يسأل عما يفعل وهم يسألون

"None will be asked about what they do, but they will be questioned."

أم يسألون

Or do they ask?

وما اتخذوا من دونه آلهة

"And they did not take besides Him any gods."

قل هاتوا برهانكم هذا ذكر من معي وذكر من قبلي

Say, "Bring your proof. This is a reminder for those with me and a reminder for those before me."

بل أكثرهم لا يعلمون الحق فهم معرضون

But most of them do not know the truth, so they turn away.

وما أرسلنا من قبلك من ربك

"And We did not send before you any messenger from your Lord."

إلا نوحي إليه أنه لا إله إلا أنا فاعبدون

"Except that We reveal to him that there is no deity except Me, so worship Me."

وقالوا اتخذ الرحمن ولدا سبحانه

They said, "The Most Merciful has taken a son." Exalted is He!

بل عباد مكرمون

Rather, they are honored servants.

لا يسبقونه بالقول وهم بأمره يعملون

They do not precede Him with speech, and they act according to His command.

يعلم ما بين أيديهم وما خلفهم

He knows what is before them and what is behind them.

ولا يشفعون إلا لمن ارتضى وهم من خشيته مشفقون

"And they intercede only for those whom He approves, and they are, from His fear, apprehensive."

ومن يقول منهم إني إله من دونه فذلك نجزيه جهنم

And whoever among them says, "I am a god besides Him," we will punish him with Hell.

فذلك نجزيه جهنم كذلك نجزي الظالمين

"Thus, we shall reward him with Hell, and thus do we reward the wrongdoers."

أولم يرى الذين كفروا أن السماوات والأرض كانتا رتقا ففتقناهما

"Did not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and the earth were a closed-up mass, then We opened them out?"

وجعلنا من الماء كل شيء حي

"And We made from water every living thing."

لا يؤمنون

They do not believe.

وجعلنا في الأرض رواسي أن تميد بهم

"And We placed mountains on the earth, lest it should shake with them."

وجعلنا فيها فجاجا سبلا لعلهم يهتدون

"And We made therein chambers and pathways that perhaps they might be guided."

وجعلنا السماء سقفا محفوظا

And We made the heaven a protected canopy.

وهم عن آياتها معرضون

And they are turning away from its verses.

وهو الذي خلق الليل والنهار

And He is the One who created the night and the day.

والشمس والقمر

And the sun and the moon.

كل في فلك يسبحون

"Each in its own orbit is swimming."

وما جعلنا لبشر من قبلك الحلد

"And We did not grant immortality to any human before you."

أفإن ميت فهم الخالدون

"Then if he dies, will they be the eternal ones?"

كل نفس ذائقة الموت

Every soul shall taste death.

ونبلوكم بالشر والخير فتنة

"And We test you with evil and good as a trial."

وإلينا ترجعون

And to us you shall return.

وإذا رأىك الذين كفروا إن يتخذونك إلا هزوا

"And if those who disbelieve see you, they will take you only in ridicule."

أهذا الذي يذكر آلهتكم

"Is this the one who mentions your gods?"

وهم بذكر الرحمن هم كافرون

They are disbelievers in the mention of the Most Merciful.

خلق الإنسان من عجل

Humanity was created from haste.

سأريكم آياتي فلا تستعجلون

"I will show you My signs, so do not be impatient."

ويقولون متى هذا الوعد إن كنتم صادقين

And they say, "When is this promise if you are truthful?"

لو يعلم الذين كفروا حين لا يكفرون

If only those who disbelieved knew when there will be no denial.

عن وجوههم النار ولا عن ظهورهم

"Not from their faces will the fire come, nor from their backs."

لو يعلم الذين كفروا حين لا يكفرون

If only those who disbelieved knew when they will not be able to disbelieve.

عن وجوههم النار ولا عن ظهورهم

"The fire will be upon their faces, not upon their backs."

ولا هم ينصرون

But it will come to them suddenly and bewilder them.

And indeed, messengers before you were mocked.

فحاق بالذين سخروا منهم ما كانوا به يستهزئون

And those who mocked them were overwhelmed by what they used to ridicule.

قل من يكلأكم بالليل والنهار من الرحمن

Say, "Who protects you by night and by day from the Most Merciful?"

بل هم عن ذكر ربهم ومن يتعلمون

But they are unaware of the remembrance of their Lord and what they are learning.

معرضون

Exposed

أم لهم آلهة تمنعهم من دوننا

"Or do they have gods that protect them from us?"

لا يستطيعون نصر أنفسهم
