68. Al-Qalam

الْقَلَمِ

خَاشِعَةً اَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌؕ وَقَدْ كَانُوا یُدْعَوْنَ اِلَى السُّجُودِ وَهُمْ سَالِمُونَ

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound

Saheeh Intl

فَذَرْنٖی وَمَنْ یُكَذِّبُ بِهٰذَا الْحَدٖیثِؕ سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُمْ مِنْ حَیْثُ لَا یَعْلَمُونَۙ

So leave Me, [O Muhammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies the Qur'an. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know

Saheeh Intl

وَاُمْلٖی لَهُمْؕ اِنَّ كَیْدٖی مَتٖینٌ

And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm

Saheeh Intl

اَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ اَجْرًا فَهُمْ مِنْ مَغْرَمٍ مُثْقَلُونَۚ

Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down

Saheeh Intl

اَمْ عِنْدَهُمُ الْغَیْبُ فَهُمْ یَكْتُبُونَ

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down

Saheeh Intl

فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُنْ كَصَاحِبِ الْحُوتِۘ اِذْ نَادٰى وَهُوَ مَكْظُومٌؕ

Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muhammad], and be not like the companion of the fish when he called out while he was distressed

Saheeh Intl

لَوْلَٓا اَنْ تَدَارَكَهُ نِعْمَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّهٖ لَنُبِذَ بِالْعَرَٓاءِ وَهُوَ مَذْمُومٌ

If not that a favor from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured

Saheeh Intl

فَاجْتَبٰیهُ رَبُّهُ فَجَعَلَهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحٖینَ

And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous

Saheeh Intl

وَاِنْ یَكَادُ الَّذٖینَ كَفَرُوا لَیُزْلِقُونَكَ بِاَبْصَارِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا الذِّكْرَ وَیَقُولُونَ اِنَّهُ لَمَجْنُونٌۘ

And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad

Saheeh Intl

وَمَا هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِلْعَالَمٖینَ

But it is not except a reminder to the worlds
