الشعراء
Surah Ash-Shu'ara
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
The people of Thamûd rejected the messengers
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَـٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
when their brother Ṣâliḥ said to them, “Will you not fear ˹Allah˺?
إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
I am truly a trustworthy messenger to you.
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So fear Allah, and obey me.
وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds.
أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِى مَا هَـٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَ
Do you think you will be ˹forever˺ left secure in what you have here:
فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
amid gardens and springs,
وَزُرُوعٍ وَنَخْلٍ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌ
and ˹various˺ crops, and palm trees ˹loaded˺ with tender fruit;
وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا فَـٰرِهِينَ
to carve homes in the mountains with great skill?
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So fear Allah, and obey me.
وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ
And do not follow the command of the transgressors,
ٱلَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ
who spread corruption throughout the land, never setting things right.”
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ
They replied, “You are simply bewitched!
مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ
You are only a human being like us, so bring forth a sign if what you say is true.”
قَالَ هَـٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةٌ لَّهَا شِرْبٌ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
Ṣâliḥ said, “Here is a camel. She will have her turn to drink as you have yours, each on an appointed day.
وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
And do not ever touch her with harm, or you will be overtaken by the torment of a tremendous day.”
فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ نَـٰدِمِينَ
But they killed her, becoming regretful.
فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
So the punishment overtook them. Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
The people of Lot rejected the messengers
