68. Al-Qalam

الْقَلَمِ

سَنَسِمُهُ عَلَى الْخُرْطُومِ

We will brand him upon the snout

Saheeh Intl

اِنَّا بَلَوْنَاهُمْ كَمَا بَلَوْنَٓا اَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِۚ اِذْ اَقْسَمُوا لَیَصْرِمُنَّهَا مُصْبِحٖینَۙ

Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morning

Saheeh Intl

وَلَا یَسْتَثْنُونَ

Without making exception

Saheeh Intl

فَطَافَ عَلَیْهَا طَٓائِفٌ مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَهُمْ نَٓائِمُونَ

So there came upon the garden an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep

Saheeh Intl

فَاَصْبَحَتْ كَالصَّرٖیمِ

And it became as though reaped

Saheeh Intl

فَتَنَادَوْا مُصْبِحٖینَۙ

And they called one another at morning

Saheeh Intl

اَنِ اغْدُوا عَلٰى حَرْثِكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَارِمٖینَ

[Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit

Saheeh Intl

فَانْطَلَقُوا وَهُمْ یَتَخَافَتُونَۙ

So they set out, while lowering their voices

Saheeh Intl

اَنْ لَا یَدْخُلَنَّهَا الْیَوْمَ عَلَیْكُمْ مِسْكٖینٌ

[Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person

Saheeh Intl

وَغَدَوْا عَلٰى حَرْدٍ قَادِرٖینَ

And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able

Saheeh Intl

فَلَمَّا رَاَوْهَا قَالُٓوا اِنَّا لَضَٓالُّونَۙ

But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost

Saheeh Intl

بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ

Rather, we have been deprived

Saheeh Intl

قَالَ اَوْسَطُهُمْ اَلَمْ اَقُلْ لَكُمْ لَوْلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ

The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allah]

Saheeh Intl

قَالُوا سُبْحَانَ رَبِّنَٓا اِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمٖینَ

They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers

Saheeh Intl

فَاَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ یَتَلَاوَمُونَ

Then they approached one another, blaming each other

Saheeh Intl

قَالُوا یَا وَیْلَنَٓا اِنَّا كُنَّا طَاغٖینَ

They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors

Saheeh Intl

عَسٰى رَبُّنَٓا اَنْ یُبْدِلَنَا خَیْرًا مِنْهَٓا اِنَّٓا اِلٰى رَبِّنَا رَاغِبُونَ

Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous

Saheeh Intl

كَذٰلِكَ الْعَذَابُؕ وَلَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَكْبَرُۘ لَوْ كَانُوا یَعْلَمُونَࣖ

Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew

Saheeh Intl

اِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقٖینَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتِ النَّعٖیمِ

Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure

Saheeh Intl

اَفَنَجْعَلُ الْمُسْلِمٖینَ كَالْمُجْرِمٖینَؕ

Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals

Saheeh Intl

مَا لَكُمْࣞ كَیْفَ تَحْكُمُونَۚ

What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge

Saheeh Intl

اَمْ لَكُمْ كِتَابٌ فٖیهِ تَدْرُسُونَۙ

Or do you have a scripture in which you learn

Saheeh Intl

اِنَّ لَكُمْ فٖیهِ لَمَا تَخَیَّرُونَۚ

That indeed for you is whatever you choose

Saheeh Intl

اَمْ لَكُمْ اَیْمَانٌ عَلَیْنَا بَالِغَةٌ اِلٰى یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَةِۙ اِنَّ لَكُمْ لَمَا تَحْكُمُونَۚ

Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge

Saheeh Intl

سَلْهُمْ اَیُّهُمْ بِذٰلِكَ زَعٖیمٌۚۛ

Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible

Saheeh Intl

اَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَٓاءُۚۛ فَلْیَاْتُوا بِشُرَكَٓائِهِمْ اِنْ كَانُوا صَادِقٖینَ

Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful

Saheeh Intl

یَوْمَ یُكْشَفُ عَنْ سَاقٍ وَیُدْعَوْنَ اِلَى السُّجُودِ فَلَا یَسْتَطٖیعُونَۙ

The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but the disbelievers will not be able
