   Read the passage · Ash-Shu'araa

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   طسٓمٓ١

   Ta, Seen, Meem.

   تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ٢

   These are the verses of the clear Book.

   لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٌۭ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ٣

   Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.

   إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةًۭ فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ٤

   If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.

   وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ٥

   And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.

   فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ٦

   For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.

   أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۢ كَرِيمٍ٧

   Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?

   إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ٨

   Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

   وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ٩

   And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

   وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ١٠

   And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -

   قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ١١

   The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah?"

   قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ١٢

   He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me

   وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ١٣

   And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.

   وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌۭ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ١٤

   And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."

   قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ١٥

   [Allah] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.

   فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ١٦

   Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,

   أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ١٧

   [Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"

   قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًۭا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ١٨

   [Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?

   وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ١٩

   And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."

   قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًۭا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ٢٠

   [Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray.

   فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًۭا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ٢١

   So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and prophethood and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.

   وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌۭ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ٢٢

   And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"

   قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ٢٣

   Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"

   قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ٢٤

   [Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."

   قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ٢٥

   [Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"

   قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ٢٦

   [Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."

   قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌۭ٢٧

   [Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."

   قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ٢٨

   [Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."

   قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ٢٩

   [Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."

   قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ٣٠

   [Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest?"

   قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ٣١

   [Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."

   فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ٣٢

   So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.

   وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ٣٣

   And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.

   قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌۭ٣٤

   [Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.

   يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ٣٥

   He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"

   قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ٣٦

   They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers

   يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍۢ٣٧

   Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."

   فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ٣٨

   So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.

   وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ٣٩

   And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate

   لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ٤٠

   That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"

   Read the passage · As-Saaffaat

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفًّۭا١

   By those [angels] lined up in rows

   فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًۭا٢

   And those who drive [the clouds]

   فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا٣

   And those who recite the message,

   إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌۭ٤

   Indeed, your God is One,

   رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ٥

   Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises.

   إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ٦

   Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars

   وَحِفْظًۭا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ مَّارِدٍۢ٧

   And as protection against every rebellious devil

   لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍۢ٨

   [So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side,

   دُحُورًۭا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ وَاصِبٌ٩

   Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,

   إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌۭ ثَاقِبٌۭ١٠

   Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].

   فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٍۢ لَّازِبٍۭ١١

   Then inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?" Indeed, We created men from sticky clay.

   بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ١٢

   But you wonder, while they mock,

   وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ١٣

   And when they are reminded, they remember not.

   وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ١٤

   And when they see a sign, they ridicule

   وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ١٥

   And say, "This is not but obvious magic.

   أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ١٦

   When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

   أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ١٧

   And our forefathers [as well]?"

   قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ١٨

   Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible."

   فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ١٩

   It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.

   وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ٢٠

   They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."

   هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ٢١

   [They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."

   ۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ٢٢

   [The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship

   مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ٢٣

   Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire

   وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ٢٤

   And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."

   مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ٢٥

   [They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?"

   بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ٢٦

   But they, that Day, are in surrender.

   وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ٢٧

   And they will approach one another blaming each other.

   قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ٢٨

   They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."

   قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ٢٩

   The oppressors will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,

   وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًۭا طَٰغِينَ٣٠

   And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.

   فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ٣١

   So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].

   فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ٣٢

   And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."

   فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ٣٣

   So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment.

   إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ٣٤

   Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.

   إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ٣٥

   Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah," were arrogant

   وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍۢ مَّجْنُونٍۭ٣٦

   And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"

   بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ٣٧

   Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.

   إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ٣٨

   Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment,

   وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ٣٩

   And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do -

   إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ٤٠

   But not the chosen servants of Allah.
