The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.
غَافِرِ الذَّنبِ وَقَابِلِ التَّوْبِ شَدِيدِ الْعِقَابِ ذِي الطَّوْلِ ۖ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ إِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ

The forgiver of sin, acceptor of repentance, severe in punishment, owner of abundance. There is no deity except Him; to Him is the destination.
مَا يُجَادِلُ فِي آيَاتِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَلَا يَغْرُرْكَ تَقَلُّبُهُمْ فِي الْبِلَادِ
( 4 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 4 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 4](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
No one disputes concerning the signs of Allah except those who disbelieve, so be not deceived by their [uninhibited] movement throughout the land.
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَالْأَحْزَابُ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ ۖ وَهَمَّتْ كُلُّ أُمَّةٍ بِرَسُولِهِمْ لِيَأْخُذُوهُ ۖ وَجَادَلُوا بِالْبَاطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوا بِهِ الْحَقَّ فَأَخَذْتُهُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ
( 5 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 5 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 5](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
The people of Noah denied before them and the [disbelieving] factions after them, and every nation intended [a plot] for their messenger to seize him, and they disputed by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth. So I seized them, and how [terrible] was My penalty.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ
( 6 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 6 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 6](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And thus has the word of your Lord come into effect upon those who disbelieved that they are companions of the Fire.
الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ الْعَرْشَ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ رَّحْمَةً وَعِلْمًا فَاغْفِرْ لِلَّذِينَ تَابُوا وَاتَّبَعُوا سَبِيلَكَ وَقِهِمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِيمِ
( 7 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 7 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 7](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Those [angels] who carry the Throne and those around it exalt [Allah] with praise of their Lord and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who have believed, [saying], "Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented and followed Your way and protect them from the punishment of Hellfire.
رَبَّنَا وَأَدْخِلْهُمْ جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ الَّتِي وَعَدتَّهُمْ وَمَن صَلَحَ مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ
( 8 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 8 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 8](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Our Lord, and admit them to gardens of perpetual residence which You have promised them and whoever was righteous among their fathers, their spouses and their offspring. Indeed, it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
وَقِهِمُ السَّيِّئَاتِ ۚ وَمَن تَقِ السَّيِّئَاتِ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمْتَهُ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ
( 9 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 9 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 9](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And protect them from the evil consequences [of their deeds]. And he whom You protect from evil consequences that Day - You will have given him mercy. And that is the great attainment."
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُنَادَوْنَ لَمَقْتُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ مِن مَّقْتِكُمْ أَنفُسَكُمْ إِذْ تُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى الْإِيمَانِ فَتَكْفُرُونَ
( 10 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 10 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 10](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Indeed, those who disbelieve will be addressed, "The hatred of Allah for you was [even] greater than your hatred of yourselves [this Day in Hell] when you were invited to faith, but you refused."
قَالُوا رَبَّنَا أَمَتَّنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَحْيَيْتَنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ فَاعْتَرَفْنَا بِذُنُوبِنَا فَهَلْ إِلَىٰ خُرُوجٍ مِّن سَبِيلٍ
( 11 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 11 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 11](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
They will say, "Our Lord, You made us lifeless twice and gave us life twice, and we have confessed our sins. So is there to an exit any way?"
ذَٰلِكُم بِأَنَّهُ إِذَا دُعِيَ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ كَفَرْتُمْ ۖ وَإِن يُشْرَكْ بِهِ تُؤْمِنُوا ۚ فَالْحُكْمُ لِلَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْكَبِيرِ
( 12 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 12 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 12](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
[They will be told], "That is because, when Allah was called upon alone, you disbelieved; but if others were associated with Him, you believed. So the judgement is with Allah, the Most High, the Grand."
هُوَ الَّذِي يُرِيكُمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُنَزِّلُ لَكُم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ رِزْقًا ۚ وَمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ إِلَّا مَن يُنِيبُ
( 13 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 13 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 13](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
It is He who shows you His signs and sends down to you from the sky, provision. But none will remember except he who turns back [in repentance].
فَادْعُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ
( 14 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 14 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 14](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
So invoke Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion, although the disbelievers dislike it.
رَفِيعُ الدَّرَجَاتِ ذُو الْعَرْشِ يُلْقِي الرُّوحَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ لِيُنذِرَ يَوْمَ التَّلَاقِ
( 15 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 15 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 15](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
[He is] the Exalted above [all] degrees, Owner of the Throne; He places the inspiration of His command upon whom He wills of His servants to warn of the Day of Meeting.
يَوْمَ هُم بَارِزُونَ ۖ لَا يَخْفَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْهُمْ شَيْءٌ ۚ لِّمَنِ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ ۖ لِلَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ
( 16 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 16 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 16](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
The Day they come forth nothing concerning them will be concealed from Allah. To whom belongs [all] sovereignty this Day? To Allah, the One, the Prevailing.
الْيَوْمَ تُجْزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ ۚ لَا ظُلْمَ الْيَوْمَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ
( 17 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 17 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 17](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
This Day every soul will be recompensed for what it earned. No injustice today! Indeed, Allah is swift in account.
وَأَنذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْآزِفَةِ إِذِ الْقُلُوبُ لَدَى الْحَنَاجِرِ كَاظِمِينَ ۚ مَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ حَمِيمٍ وَلَا شَفِيعٍ يُطَاعُ
( 18 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 18 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 18](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And warn them, [O Muhammad], of the Approaching Day, when hearts are at the throats, filled [with distress]. For the wrongdoers there will be no devoted friend and no intercessor [who is] obeyed.
يَعْلَمُ خَائِنَةَ الْأَعْيُنِ وَمَا تُخْفِي الصُّدُورُ
( 19 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 19 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 19](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
He knows that which deceives the eyes and what the breasts conceal.
وَاللَّهُ يَقْضِي بِالْحَقِّ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ لَا يَقْضُونَ بِشَيْءٍ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ
( 20 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 20 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 20](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And Allah judges with truth, while those they invoke besides Him judge not with anything. Indeed, Allah - He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ كَانُوا هُمْ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَآثَارًا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَأَخَذَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِن وَاقٍ
( 21 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 21 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 21](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those who were before them? They were greater than them in strength and in impression on the land, but Allah seized them for their sins. And they had not from Allah any protector.
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانَت تَّأْتِيهِمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَكَفَرُوا فَأَخَذَهُمُ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ قَوِيٌّ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ
( 22 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 22 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 22](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
That was because their messengers were coming to them with clear proofs, but they disbelieved, so Allah seized them. Indeed, He is Powerful and severe in punishment.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِآيَاتِنَا وَسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ
( 23 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 23 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 23](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And We did certainly send Moses with Our signs and a clear authority
إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامَانَ وَقَارُونَ فَقَالُوا سَاحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ
( 24 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 24 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 24](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
To Pharaoh, Haman and Qarun; but they said, "[He is] a magician and a liar."
فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُم بِالْحَقِّ مِنْ عِندِنَا قَالُوا اقْتُلُوا أَبْنَاءَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ وَاسْتَحْيُوا نِسَاءَهُمْ ۚ وَمَا كَيْدُ الْكَافِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ
( 25 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 25 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 25](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And when he brought them the truth from Us, they said, "Kill the sons of those who have believed with him and keep their women alive." But the plan of the disbelievers is not except in error.
وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ذَرُونِي أَقْتُلْ مُوسَىٰ وَلْيَدْعُ رَبَّهُ ۖ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَن يُبَدِّلَ دِينَكُمْ أَوْ أَن يُظْهِرَ فِي الْأَرْضِ الْفَسَادَ
( 26 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 26 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 26](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And Pharaoh said, "Let me kill Moses and let him call upon his Lord. Indeed, I fear that he will change your religion or that he will cause corruption in the land."
وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ إِنِّي عُذْتُ بِرَبِّي وَرَبِّكُم مِّن كُلِّ مُتَكَبِّرٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِيَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ
( 27 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 27 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 27](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
But Moses said, "Indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant one who does not believe in the Day of Account."
وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مُّؤْمِنٌ مِّنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَكْتُمُ إِيمَانَهُ أَتَقْتُلُونَ رَجُلًا أَن يَقُولَ رَبِّيَ اللَّهُ وَقَدْ جَاءَكُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ وَإِن يَكُ كَاذِبًا فَعَلَيْهِ كَذِبُهُ ۖ وَإِن يَكُ صَادِقًا يُصِبْكُم بَعْضُ الَّذِي يَعِدُكُمْ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ كَذَّابٌ
( 28 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 28 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 28](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And a believing man from the family of Pharaoh who concealed his faith said, "Do you kill a man [merely] because he says, 'My Lord is Allah' while he has brought you clear proofs from your Lord? And if he should be lying, then upon him is [the consequence of] his lie; but if he should be truthful, there will strike you some of what he promises you. Indeed, Allah does not guide one who is a transgressor and a liar.
يَا قَوْمِ لَكُمُ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ ظَاهِرِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَمَن يَنصُرُنَا مِن بَأْسِ اللَّهِ إِن جَاءَنَا ۚ قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ مَا أُرِيكُمْ إِلَّا مَا أَرَىٰ وَمَا أَهْدِيكُمْ إِلَّا سَبِيلَ الرَّشَادِ
( 29 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 29 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 29](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
O my people, sovereignty is yours today, [your being] dominant in the land. But who would protect us from the punishment of Allah if it came to us?" Pharaoh said, "I do not show you except what I see, and I do not guide you except to the way of right conduct."
وَقَالَ الَّذِي آمَنَ يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُم مِّثْلَ يَوْمِ الْأَحْزَابِ
( 30 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 30 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 30](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And he who believed said, "O my people, indeed I fear for you [a fate] like the day of the companies -
مِثْلَ دَأْبِ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَ وَالَّذِينَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ ۚ وَمَا اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ظُلْمًا لِّلْعِبَادِ
( 31 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 31 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 31](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Like the custom of the people of Noah and of 'Aad and Thamud and those after them. And Allah wants no injustice for [His] servants.
وَيَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَوْمَ التَّنَادِ
( 32 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 32 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 32](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And O my people, indeed I fear for you the Day of Calling -
يَوْمَ تُوَلُّونَ مُدْبِرِينَ مَا لَكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ عَاصِمٍ ۗ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ هَادٍ
( 33 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 33 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 33](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
The Day you will turn your backs fleeing; there is not for you from Allah any protector. And whoever Allah leaves astray - there is not for him any guide.
وَلَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ يُوسُفُ مِن قَبْلُ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَمَا زِلْتُمْ فِي شَكٍّ مِّمَّا جَاءَكُم بِهِ ۖ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا هَلَكَ قُلْتُمْ لَن يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ رَسُولًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ مُّرْتَابٌ
( 34 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 34 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 34](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And Joseph had already come to you before with clear proofs, but you remained in doubt of that which he brought to you, until when he died, you said, 'Never will Allah send a messenger after him.' Thus does Allah leave astray he who is a transgressor and skeptic."
الَّذِينَ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي آيَاتِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ سُلْطَانٍ أَتَاهُمْ ۖ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ اللَّهِ وَعِندَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ قَلْبِ مُتَكَبِّرٍ جَبَّارٍ
( 35 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 35 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 35](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Those who dispute concerning the signs of Allah without an authority having come to them - great is hatred [of them] in the sight of Allah and in the sight of those who have believed. Thus does Allah seal over every heart [belonging to] an arrogant tyrant.
وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يَا هَامَانُ ابْنِ لِي صَرْحًا لَّعَلِّي أَبْلُغُ الْأَسْبَابَ
( 36 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 36 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 36](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And Pharaoh said, "O Haman, construct for me a tower that I might reach the ways -
أَسْبَابَ السَّمَاوَاتِ فَأَطَّلِعَ إِلَىٰ إِلَٰهِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِنِّي لَأَظُنُّهُ كَاذِبًا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ سُوءُ عَمَلِهِ وَصُدَّ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ ۚ وَمَا كَيْدُ فِرْعَوْنَ إِلَّا فِي تَبَابٍ
( 37 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 37 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 37](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses; but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to Pharaoh the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the [right] way. And the plan of Pharaoh was not except in ruin.
وَقَالَ الَّذِي آمَنَ يَا قَوْمِ اتَّبِعُونِ أَهْدِكُمْ سَبِيلَ الرَّشَادِ
( 38 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 38 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 38](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And he who believed said, "O my people, follow me, I will guide you to the way of right conduct.
يَا قَوْمِ إِنَّمَا هَٰذِهِ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا مَتَاعٌ وَإِنَّ الْآخِرَةَ هِيَ دَارُ الْقَرَارِ
( 39 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 39 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 39](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
O my people, this worldly life is only [temporary] enjoyment, and indeed, the Hereafter - that is the home of [permanent] settlement.
مَنْ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً فَلَا يُجْزَىٰ إِلَّا مِثْلَهَا ۖ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُولَٰئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ يُرْزَقُونَ فِيهَا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
( 40 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 40 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 40](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Whoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like thereof; but whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - those will enter Paradise, being given provision therein without account.
وَيَا قَوْمِ مَا لِي أَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَى النَّجَاةِ وَتَدْعُونَنِي إِلَى النَّارِ
( 41 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 41 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 41](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And O my people, how is it that I invite you to salvation while you invite me to the Fire?
تَدْعُونَنِي لِأَكْفُرَ بِاللَّهِ وَأُشْرِكَ بِهِ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِهِ عِلْمٌ وَأَنَا أَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَى الْعَزِيزِ الْغَفَّارِ
( 42 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 42 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 42](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
You invite me to disbelieve in Allah and associate with Him that of which I have no knowledge, and I invite you to the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver.
لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّمَا تَدْعُونَنِي إِلَيْهِ لَيْسَ لَهُ دَعْوَةٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ مَرَدَّنَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَأَنَّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ هُمْ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ
( 43 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 43 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 43](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Assuredly, that to which you invite me has no [response to a] supplication in this world or in the Hereafter; and indeed, our return is to Allah, and indeed, the transgressors will be companions of the Fire.
فَسَتَذْكُرُونَ مَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ ۚ وَأُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَصِيرٌ بِالْعِبَادِ
( 44 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 44 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 44](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And you will remember what I [now] say to you, and I entrust my affair to Allah. Indeed, Allah is Seeing of [His] servants."
فَوَقَاهُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِ مَا مَكَرُوا ۖ وَحَاقَ بِآلِ فِرْعَوْنَ سُوءُ الْعَذَابِ
( 45 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 45 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 45](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
So Allah protected him from the evils they plotted, and the people of Pharaoh were enveloped by the worst of punishment -
النَّارُ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَيْهَا غُدُوًّا وَعَشِيًّا ۖ وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ أَدْخِلُوا آلَ فِرْعَوْنَ أَشَدَّ الْعَذَابِ
( 46 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 46 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 46](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
The Fire, they are exposed to it morning and evening. And the Day the Hour appears [it will be said], "Make the people of Pharaoh enter the severest punishment."
وَإِذْ يَتَحَاجُّونَ فِي النَّارِ فَيَقُولُ الضُّعَفَاءُ لِلَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّغْنُونَ عَنَّا نَصِيبًا مِّنَ النَّارِ
( 47 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 47 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 47](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And [mention] when they will argue within the Fire, and the weak will say to those who had been arrogant, "Indeed, we were [only] your followers, so will you relieve us of a share of the Fire?"
قَالَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا إِنَّا كُلٌّ فِيهَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ حَكَمَ بَيْنَ الْعِبَادِ
( 48 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 48 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 48](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Those who had been arrogant will say, "Indeed, all [of us] are in it. Indeed, Allah has judged between the servants."
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ فِي النَّارِ لِخَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ يُخَفِّفْ عَنَّا يَوْمًا مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ
( 49 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 49 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 49](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Hell, "Supplicate your Lord to lighten for us a day from the punishment."
قَالُوا أَوَلَمْ تَكُ تَأْتِيكُمْ رُسُلُكُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ ۖ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ ۚ قَالُوا فَادْعُوا ۗ وَمَا دُعَاءُ الْكَافِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ
( 50 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 50 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 50](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
They will say, "Did there not come to you your messengers with clear proofs?" They will say, "Yes." They will reply, "Then supplicate [yourselves], but the supplication of the disbelievers is not except in error."
إِنَّا لَنَنصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَيَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْأَشْهَادُ
( 51 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 51 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 51](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who believe during the life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand -
يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ الظَّالِمِينَ مَعْذِرَتُهُمْ ۖ وَلَهُمُ اللَّعْنَةُ وَلَهُمْ سُوءُ الدَّارِ
( 52 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 52 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 52](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
The Day their excuse will not benefit the wrongdoers, and they will have the curse, and they will have the worst home.
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْهُدَىٰ وَأَوْرَثْنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْكِتَابَ
( 53 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 53 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 53](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And We had certainly given Moses guidance, and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit the Scripture
هُدًى وَذِكْرَىٰ لِأُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ
( 54 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 54 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 54](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
As guidance and a reminder for those of understanding.
فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنبِكَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ بِالْعَشِيِّ وَالْإِبْكَارِ
( 55 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 55 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 55](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
So be patient, [O Muhammad]. Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth. And ask forgiveness for your sin and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord in the evening and the morning.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي آيَاتِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ سُلْطَانٍ أَتَاهُمْ ۙ إِن فِي صُدُورِهِمْ إِلَّا كِبْرٌ مَّا هُم بِبَالِغِيهِ ۚ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ
( 56 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 56 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 56](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Indeed, those who dispute concerning the signs of Allah without [any] authority having come to them - there is not within their breasts except pride, [the extent of] which they cannot reach. So seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Seeing.
لَخَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
( 57 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 57 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 57](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
The creation of the heavens and earth is greater than the creation of mankind, but most of the people do not know.
وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْأَعْمَىٰ وَالْبَصِيرُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَلَا الْمُسِيءُ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ
( 58 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 58 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 58](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And not equal are the blind and the seeing, nor are those who believe and do righteous deeds and the evildoer. Little do you remember.
إِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَآتِيَةٌ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهَا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
( 59 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 59 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 59](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Indeed, the Hour is coming - no doubt about it - but most of the people do not believe.
وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ
( 60 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 60 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 60](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell [rendered] contemptible.
اللَّهُ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ وَالنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ
( 61 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 61 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 61](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
It is Allah who made for you the night that you may rest therein and the day giving sight. Indeed, Allah is full of bounty to the people, but most of the people are not grateful.
ذَٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ لَّا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤْفَكُونَ
( 62 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 62 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 62](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
That is Allah, your Lord, Creator of all things; there is no deity except Him, so how are you deluded?
كَذَٰلِكَ يُؤْفَكُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ
( 63 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 63 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 63](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Thus were those [before you] deluded who were rejecting the signs of Allah.
اللَّهُ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ قَرَارًا وَالسَّمَاءَ بِنَاءً وَصَوَّرَكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْ وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ ۖ فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ
( 64 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 64 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 64](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
It is Allah who made for you the earth a place of settlement and the sky a ceiling and formed you and perfected your forms and provided you with good things. That is Allah, your Lord; then blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds.
هُوَ الْحَيُّ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَادْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ ۗ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
( 65 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 65 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 65](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
He is the Ever-Living; there is no deity except Him, so call upon Him, [being] sincere to Him in religion. [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
قُلْ إِنِّي نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ لَمَّا جَاءَنِيَ الْبَيِّنَاتُ مِن رَّبِّي وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُسْلِمَ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
( 66 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 66 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 66](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, I have been forbidden to worship those you call upon besides Allah once the clear proofs have come to me from my Lord, and I have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds."
هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ يُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلًا ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوا أَشُدَّكُمْ ثُمَّ لِتَكُونُوا شُيُوخًا ۚ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُتَوَفَّىٰ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ وَلِتَبْلُغُوا أَجَلًا مُّسَمًّى وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
( 67 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 67 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 67](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
It is He who created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot; then He brings you out as a child; then [He develops you] that you reach your [time of] maturity, then [further] that you become elders. And among you is he who is taken in death before [that], so that you reach a specified term; and perhaps you will use reason.
هُوَ الَّذِي يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ ۖ فَإِذَا قَضَىٰ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ
( 68 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 68 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 68](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
He it is who gives life and causes death; and when He decrees a matter, He but says to it, "Be," and it is.
أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي آيَاتِ اللَّهِ أَنَّىٰ يُصْرَفُونَ
( 69 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 69 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 69](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Do you not consider those who dispute concerning the signs of Allah - how are they averted?
الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِالْكِتَابِ وَبِمَا أَرْسَلْنَا بِهِ رُسُلَنَا ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
( 70 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 70 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 70](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Those who deny the Book and that with which We sent Our messengers - they are going to know,
إِذِ الْأَغْلَالُ فِي أَعْنَاقِهِمْ وَالسَّلَاسِلُ يُسْحَبُونَ
( 71 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 71 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 71](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
When the shackles are around their necks and the chains; they will be dragged
فِي الْحَمِيمِ ثُمَّ فِي النَّارِ يُسْجَرُونَ
( 72 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 72 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 72](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
In boiling water; then in the Fire they will be filled [with flame].
ثُمَّ قِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تُشْرِكُونَ
( 73 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 73 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 73](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Then it will be said to them, "Where is that which you used to associate [with Him in worship]
مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ ۖ قَالُوا ضَلُّوا عَنَّا بَل لَّمْ نَكُن نَّدْعُو مِن قَبْلُ شَيْئًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ الْكَافِرِينَ
( 74 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 74 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 74](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Other than Allah?" They will say, "They have departed from us; rather, we did not used to invoke previously anything." Thus does Allah put astray the disbelievers.
ذَٰلِكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَفْرَحُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَبِمَا كُنتُمْ تَمْرَحُونَ
( 75 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 75 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 75](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
[The angels will say], "That was because you used to exult upon the earth without right and you used to behave insolently.
ادْخُلُوا أَبْوَابَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۖ فَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ
( 76 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 76 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 76](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Enter the gates of Hell to abide eternally therein, and wretched is the residence of the arrogant."
فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ ۚ فَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ الَّذِي نَعِدُهُمْ أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُونَ
( 77 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 77 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 77](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
So be patient, [O Muhammad]; indeed, the promise of Allah is truth. And whether We show you some of what We have promised them or We take you in death, it is to Us they will be returned.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِّن قَبْلِكَ مِنْهُم مَّن قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ وَمِنْهُم مَّن لَّمْ نَقْصُصْ عَلَيْكَ ۗ وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَن يَأْتِيَ بِآيَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ۚ فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ قُضِيَ بِالْحَقِّ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ
( 78 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 78 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 78](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And We have already sent messengers before you. Among them are those [whose stories] We have related to you, and among them are those [whose stories] We have not related to you. And it was not for any messenger to bring a sign [or verse] except by permission of Allah. So when the command of Allah comes, it will be concluded in truth, and the falsifiers will thereupon lose [all].
اللَّهُ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَنْعَامَ لِتَرْكَبُوا مِنْهَا وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ
( 79 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 79 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 79](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
It is Allah who made for you the grazing animals upon which you ride, and some of them you eat.
وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَافِعُ وَلِتَبْلُغُوا عَلَيْهَا حَاجَةً فِي صُدُورِكُمْ وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى الْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُونَ
( 80 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 80 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 80](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And for you therein are [other] benefits and that you may realize upon them a need which is in your breasts; and upon them and upon ships you are carried.
وَيُرِيكُمْ آيَاتِهِ فَأَيَّ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ تُنكِرُونَ
( 81 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 81 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 81](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And He shows you His signs. So which of the signs of Allah do you deny?
أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ كَانُوا أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَشَدَّ قُوَّةً وَآثَارًا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَمَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
( 82 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 82 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 82](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those before them? They were more numerous than themselves and greater in strength and in impression on the land, but they were not availed by what they used to earn.
فَلَمَّا جَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَرِحُوا بِمَا عِندَهُم مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ
( 83 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 83 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 83](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And when their messengers came to them with clear proofs, they [merely] rejoiced in what they had of knowledge, but they were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.
فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا بَأْسَنَا قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ وَكَفَرْنَا بِمَا كُنَّا بِهِ مُشْرِكِينَ
( 84 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 84 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 84](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And when they saw Our punishment, they said," We believe in Allah alone and disbelieve in that which we used to associate with Him."
فَلَمْ يَكُ يَنفَعُهُمْ إِيمَانُهُمْ لَمَّا رَأَوْا بَأْسَنَا ۖ سُنَّتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي قَدْ خَلَتْ فِي عِبَادِهِ ۖ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ الْكَافِرُونَ
( 85 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 85 Ghafir ( The Forgiver God ) - Aya 85](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
But never did their faith benefit them once they saw Our punishment. [It is] the established way of Allah which has preceded among His servants. And the disbelievers thereupon lost [all].
