Chapter 18: AL-KAHF (THE CAVE) - Juz' 15
as for such, theirs will be gardens of eden, wherein rivers flow beneath them; therein they will be given armlets of gold and will wear green robes of finest silk and gold embroidery, reclining upon throne therein. blest the reward, and fair the resting-place! (۳۱)
أُوْلَئِكَ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهِمُ الْأَنْهَارُ يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيهَا مِنْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٍ وَيَلْبَسُونَ ثِيَابًا خُضْرًا مِّن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَّكِئِينَ فِيهَا عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ نِعْمَ الثَّوَابُ وَحَسُنَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا ﴿۳۱﴾
coin for them a similitude: two men, unto one of whom we had assigned two gardens of grapes, and we had surrounded both with date-palms and had put between them tillage. (۳۲)
وَاضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلًا رَّجُلَيْنِ جَعَلْنَا لِأَحَدِهِمَا جَنَّتَيْنِ مِنْ أَعْنَابٍ وَحَفَفْنَاهُمَا بِنَخْلٍ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمَا زَرْعًا ﴿۳۲﴾
each of the gardens gave its fruit and withheld naught thereof. and we caused a river to gush forth therein. (۳۳)
كِلْتَا الْجَنَّتَيْنِ آتَتْ أُكُلَهَا وَلَمْ تَظْلِمْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا وَفَجَّرْنَا خِلَالَهُمَا نَهَرًا ﴿۳۳﴾
and he had fruit. and he said unto his comrade, when he spake with him: i am more than thee in wealth, and stronger in respect of men. (۳۴)
وَكَانَ لَهُ ثَمَرٌ فَقَالَ لِصَاحِبِهِ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهُ أَنَا أَكْثَرُ مِنكَ مَالًا وَأَعَزُّ نَفَرًا ﴿۳۴﴾
and he went into his garden, while he (thus) wronged himself. he said: i think not that all this will ever perish. (۳۵)
وَدَخَلَ جَنَّتَهُ وَهُوَ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِ قَالَ مَا أَظُنُّ أَن تَبِيدَ هَذِهِ أَبَدًا ﴿۳۵﴾
i think not that the hour will ever come, and if indeed i am brought back unto my lord i surely shall find better than this as a resort. (۳۶)
وَمَا أَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَائِمَةً وَلَئِن رُّدِدتُّ إِلَى رَبِّي لَأَجِدَنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهَا مُنقَلَبًا ﴿۳۶﴾
his comrade, when he (thus) spake with him, exclaimed: disbelievest thou in him who created thee of dust, then of a drop (of seed), and then fashioned thee a man? (۳۷)
قَالَ لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهُ أَكَفَرْتَ بِالَّذِي خَلَقَكَ مِن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ سَوَّاكَ رَجُلًا ﴿۳۷﴾
but he is allah, my lord, and i ascribe unto my lord no partner. (۳۸)
لَّكِنَّا هُوَ اللَّهُ رَبِّي وَلَا أُشْرِكُ بِرَبِّي أَحَدًا ﴿۳۸﴾
if only, when thou enteredst thy garden, thou hadst said: that which allah willeth (will come to pass)! there is no strength save in allah! though thou seest me as less than thee in wealth and children, (۳۹)
وَلَوْلَا إِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَاء اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ إِن تُرَنِ أَنَا أَقَلَّ مِنكَ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا ﴿۳۹﴾
yet it may be that my lord will give me better than thy garden, and will send on it a bolt from heaven, and some morning it will be a smooth hillside, (۴۰)
فَعَسَى رَبِّي أَن يُؤْتِيَنِ خَيْرًا مِّن جَنَّتِكَ وَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهَا حُسْبَانًا مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ فَتُصْبِحَ صَعِيدًا زَلَقًا ﴿۴۰﴾
Chapter 18: AL-KAHF (THE CAVE) - Juz' 15
or some morning the water thereof will be lost in the earth so that thou canst not make search for it. (۴۱)
أَوْ يُصْبِحَ مَاؤُهَا غَوْرًا فَلَن تَسْتَطِيعَ لَهُ طَلَبًا ﴿۴۱﴾
and his fruit was beset (with destruction). then began he to wring his hands for all that he had spent upon it, when (now) it was all ruined on its trellises, and to say: would that i had ascribed no partner to my lord! (۴۲)
وَأُحِيطَ بِثَمَرِهِ فَأَصْبَحَ يُقَلِّبُ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى مَا أَنفَقَ فِيهَا وَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَى عُرُوشِهَا وَيَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أُشْرِكْ بِرَبِّي أَحَدًا ﴿۴۲﴾
and he had no troop of men to help him as against allah, nor could he save himself. (۴۳)
وَلَمْ تَكُن لَّهُ فِئَةٌ يَنصُرُونَهُ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ مُنتَصِرًا ﴿۴۳﴾
in this case is protection only from allah, the true, he is best for reward, and best for consequence. (۴۴)
هُنَالِكَ الْوَلَايَةُ لِلَّهِ الْحَقِّ هُوَ خَيْرٌ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ عُقْبًا ﴿۴۴﴾
and coin for them the similitude of the life of the world as water which we send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingleth with it and then becometh dry twigs that the winds scatter. allah is able to do all things. (۴۵)
وَاضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَاء أَنزَلْنَاهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهِ نَبَاتُ الْأَرْضِ فَأَصْبَحَ هَشِيمًا تَذْرُوهُ الرِّيَاحُ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّقْتَدِرًا ﴿۴۵﴾
wealth and children are an ornament of the life of the world. but the good deeds which endure are better in thy lord's sight for reward, and better in respect of hope. (۴۶)
الْمَالُ وَالْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلًا ﴿۴۶﴾
and (bethink you of) the day when we remove the hills and ye see the earth emerging, and we gather them together so as to leave not one of them behind. (۴۷)
وَيَوْمَ نُسَيِّرُ الْجِبَالَ وَتَرَى الْأَرْضَ بَارِزَةً وَحَشَرْنَاهُمْ فَلَمْ نُغَادِرْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا ﴿۴۷﴾
and they are set before thy lord in ranks (and it is said unto them): now verily have ye come unto us as we created you at the first. but ye thought that we had set no tryst for you. (۴۸)
وَعُرِضُوا عَلَى رَبِّكَ صَفًّا لَّقَدْ جِئْتُمُونَا كَمَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ بَلْ زَعَمْتُمْ أَلَّن نَّجْعَلَ لَكُم مَّوْعِدًا ﴿۴۸﴾
and the book is placed, and thou seest the guilty fearful of that which is therein, and they say: what kind of a book is this that leaveth not a small thing nor a great thing but hath counted it! and they find all that they did confronting them, and thy lord wrongeth no-one. (۴۹)
وَوُضِعَ الْكِتَابُ فَتَرَى الْمُجْرِمِينَ مُشْفِقِينَ مِمَّا فِيهِ وَيَقُولُونَ يَا وَيْلَتَنَا مَالِ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ لَا يُغَادِرُ صَغِيرَةً وَلَا كَبِيرَةً إِلَّا أَحْصَاهَا وَوَجَدُوا مَا عَمِلُوا حَاضِرًا وَلَا يَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَدًا ﴿۴۹﴾
and (remember) when we said unto the angels: fall prostrate before adam, and they fell prostrate, all save iblis. he was of the jinn, so he rebelled against his lord's command. will ye choose him and his seed for your protecting friends instead of me, when they are an enemy unto you? calamitous is the exchange for evil-doers. (۵۰)
وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ كَانَ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِ أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُ أَوْلِيَاء مِن دُونِي وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ بِئْسَ لِلظَّالِمِينَ بَدَلًا ﴿۵۰﴾
Chapter 18: AL-KAHF (THE CAVE) - Juz' 15
i made them not to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor their own creation; nor choose i misleaders for (my) helpers. (۵۱)
مَا أَشْهَدتُّهُمْ خَلْقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَا خَلْقَ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمَا كُنتُ مُتَّخِذَ الْمُضِلِّينَ عَضُدًا ﴿۵۱﴾
and (be mindful of) the day when he will say: call those partners of mine whom ye pretended. then they will cry unto them, but they will not hear their prayer, and we shall set a gulf of doom between them. (۵۲)
وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ نَادُوا شُرَكَائِيَ الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا لَهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّوْبِقًا ﴿۵۲﴾
and the guilty behold the fire and know that they are about to fall therein, and they find no way of escape thence. (۵۳)
وَرَأَى الْمُجْرِمُونَ النَّارَ فَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُم مُّوَاقِعُوهَا وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا عَنْهَا مَصْرِفًا ﴿۵۳﴾
and verily we have displayed for mankind in this qur'an all manner of similitudes, but man is more than anything contentious. (۵۴)
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِي هَذَا الْقُرْآنِ لِلنَّاسِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ وَكَانَ الْإِنسَانُ أَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلًا ﴿۵۴﴾
and naught hindereth mankind from believing when the guidance cometh unto them, and from asking forgiveness of their lord unless (it be that they wish) that the judgment of the men of old should come upon them or (that) they should be confronted with the doom. (۵۵)
وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا إِذْ جَاءهُمُ الْهُدَى وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّهُمْ إِلَّا أَن تَأْتِيَهُمْ سُنَّةُ الْأَوَّلِينَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ قُبُلًا ﴿۵۵﴾
we send not the messengers save as bearers of good news and warners. those who disbelieve contend with falsehood in order to refute the truth thereby. and they take our revelations and that wherewith they are threatened as a jest. (۵۶)
وَمَا نُرْسِلُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ وَيُجَادِلُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِالْبَاطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوا بِهِ الْحَقَّ وَاتَّخَذُوا آيَاتِي وَمَا أُنذِرُوا هُزُوًا ﴿۵۶﴾
and who doth greater wrong than he who hath been reminded of the revelations of his lord, yet turneth away from them and forgetteth what his hands send forward (to the judgment)? lo! on their hearts we have placed coverings so that they understand not, and in their ears a deafness. and though thou call them to the guidance, in that case they can never be led aright. (۵۷)
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن ذُكِّرَ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا وَنَسِيَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِي آذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًا وَإِن تَدْعُهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدَى فَلَن يَهْتَدُوا إِذًا أَبَدًا ﴿۵۷﴾
thy lord is the forgiver, full of mercy. if he took them to task (now) for what they earn, he would hasten on the doom for them; but theirs is an appointed term from which they will find no escape. (۵۸)
وَرَبُّكَ الْغَفُورُ ذُو الرَّحْمَةِ لَوْ يُؤَاخِذُهُم بِمَا كَسَبُوا لَعَجَّلَ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابَ بَل لَّهُم مَّوْعِدٌ لَّن يَجِدُوا مِن دُونِهِ مَوْئِلًا ﴿۵۸﴾
and (all) those townships! we destroyed them when they did wrong, and we appointed a fixed time for their destruction. (۵۹)
وَتِلْكَ الْقُرَى أَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوا وَجَعَلْنَا لِمَهْلِكِهِم مَّوْعِدًا ﴿۵۹﴾
and when moses said unto his servant: i will not give up until i reach the point where the two rivers meet, though i march on for ages. (۶۰)
وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَى لِفَتَاهُ لَا أَبْرَحُ حَتَّى أَبْلُغَ مَجْمَعَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ أَوْ أَمْضِيَ حُقُبًا ﴿۶۰﴾
Chapter 18: AL-KAHF (THE CAVE) - Juz' 15
and when they reached the point where the two met, they forgot their fish, and it took its way into the waters, being free. (۶۱)
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَا مَجْمَعَ بَيْنِهِمَا نَسِيَا حُوتَهُمَا فَاتَّخَذَ سَبِيلَهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ سَرَبًا ﴿۶۱﴾
and when they had gone further, he said unto his servant: bring us our breakfast. verily we have found fatigue in this our journey. (۶۲)
فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَا قَالَ لِفَتَاهُ آتِنَا غَدَاءنَا لَقَدْ لَقِينَا مِن سَفَرِنَا هَذَا نَصَبًا ﴿۶۲﴾
he said: didst thou see, when we took refuge on the rock, and i forgot the fish - and none but satan caused me to forget to mention it - it took its way into the waters by a marvel. (۶۳)
قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِذْ أَوَيْنَا إِلَى الصَّخْرَةِ فَإِنِّي نَسِيتُ الْحُوتَ وَمَا أَنسَانِيهُ إِلَّا الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ أَذْكُرَهُ وَاتَّخَذَ سَبِيلَهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ عَجَبًا ﴿۶۳﴾
he said: this is that which we have been seeking. so they retraced their steps again. (۶۴)
قَالَ ذَلِكَ مَا كُنَّا نَبْغِ فَارْتَدَّا عَلَى آثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًا ﴿۶۴﴾
then found they one of our slaves, unto whom we had given mercy from us, and had taught him knowledge from our presence. (۶۵)
فَوَجَدَا عَبْدًا مِّنْ عِبَادِنَا آتَيْنَاهُ رَحْمَةً مِنْ عِندِنَا وَعَلَّمْنَاهُ مِن لَّدُنَّا عِلْمًا ﴿۶۵﴾
moses said unto him: may i follow thee, to the end that thou mayst teach me right conduct of that which thou hast been taught? (۶۶)
قَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى هَلْ أَتَّبِعُكَ عَلَى أَن تُعَلِّمَنِ مِمَّا عُلِّمْتَ رُشْدًا ﴿۶۶﴾
he said: lo! thou canst not bear with me. (۶۷)
قَالَ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسْتَطِيعَ مَعِيَ صَبْرًا ﴿۶۷﴾
how canst thou bear with that whereof thou canst not compass any knowledge? (۶۸)
وَكَيْفَ تَصْبِرُ عَلَى مَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِ خُبْرًا ﴿۶۸﴾
he said: allah willing, thou shalt find me patient and i shall not in aught gainsay thee. (۶۹)
قَالَ سَتَجِدُنِي إِن شَاء اللَّهُ صَابِرًا وَلَا أَعْصِي لَكَ أَمْرًا ﴿۶۹﴾
he said: well, if thou go with me, ask me not concerning aught till i myself make mention of it unto thee. (۷۰)
قَالَ فَإِنِ اتَّبَعْتَنِي فَلَا تَسْأَلْنِي عَن شَيْءٍ حَتَّى أُحْدِثَ لَكَ مِنْهُ ذِكْرًا ﴿۷۰﴾
Chapter 18: AL-KAHF (THE CAVE) - Juz' 15
so they twain set out till, when they were in the ship, he made a hole therein. (moses) said: hast thou made a hole therein to drown the folk thereof? thou verily hast done a dreadful thing. (۷۱)
فَانطَلَقَا حَتَّى إِذَا رَكِبَا فِي السَّفِينَةِ خَرَقَهَا قَالَ أَخَرَقْتَهَا لِتُغْرِقَ أَهْلَهَا لَقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْئًا إِمْرًا ﴿۷۱﴾
he said: did i not tell thee that thou couldst not bear with me? (۷۲)
قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُلْ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسْتَطِيعَ مَعِيَ صَبْرًا ﴿۷۲﴾
(moses) said: be not wroth with me that i forgot, and be not hard upon me for my fault. (۷۳)
قَالَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنِي بِمَا نَسِيتُ وَلَا تُرْهِقْنِي مِنْ أَمْرِي عُسْرًا ﴿۷۳﴾
so they twain journeyed on till, when they met a lad, he slew him. (moses) said: what! hast thou slain an innocent soul who hath slain no man? verily thou hast done a horrid thing. (۷۴)
فَانطَلَقَا حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَا غُلَامًا فَقَتَلَهُ قَالَ أَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا زَكِيَّةً بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ لَّقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْئًا نُّكْرًا ﴿۷۴﴾
he said: did i not tell thee that thou couldst not bear with me? (۷۵)
قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكَ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسْتَطِيعَ مَعِي صَبْرًا ﴿۷۵﴾
(moses) said: if i ask thee after this concerning aught, keep not company with me. thou hast received an excuse from me. (۷۶)
قَالَ إِن سَأَلْتُكَ عَن شَيْءٍ بَعْدَهَا فَلَا تُصَاحِبْنِي قَدْ بَلَغْتَ مِن لَّدُنِّي عُذْرًا ﴿۷۶﴾
so they twain journeyed on till, when they came unto the folk of a certain township, they asked its folk for food, but they refused to make them guests. and they found therein a wall upon the point of falling into ruin, and he repaired it. (moses) said: if thou hadst wished, thou couldst have taken payment for it. (۷۷)
فَانطَلَقَا حَتَّى إِذَا أَتَيَا أَهْلَ قَرْيَةٍ اسْتَطْعَمَا أَهْلَهَا فَأَبَوْا أَن يُضَيِّفُوهُمَا فَوَجَدَا فِيهَا جِدَارًا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَنقَضَّ فَأَقَامَهُ قَالَ لَوْ شِئْتَ لَاتَّخَذْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا ﴿۷۷﴾
he said: this is the parting between thee and me! i will announce unto thee the interpretation of that thou couldst not bear with patience. (۷۸)
قَالَ هَذَا فِرَاقُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنِكَ سَأُنَبِّئُكَ بِتَأْوِيلِ مَا لَمْ تَسْتَطِع عَّلَيْهِ صَبْرًا ﴿۷۸﴾
as for the ship, it belonged to poor people working on the river, and i wished to mar it, for there was a king behind them who is taking every ship by force. (۷۹)
أَمَّا السَّفِينَةُ فَكَانَتْ لِمَسَاكِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَأَرَدتُّ أَنْ أَعِيبَهَا وَكَانَ وَرَاءهُم مَّلِكٌ يَأْخُذُ كُلَّ سَفِينَةٍ غَصْبًا ﴿۷۹﴾
and as for the lad, his parents were believers and we feared lest he should oppress them by rebellion and disbelief. (۸۰)
وَأَمَّا الْغُلَامُ فَكَانَ أَبَوَاهُ مُؤْمِنَيْنِ فَخَشِينَا أَن يُرْهِقَهُمَا طُغْيَانًا وَكُفْرًا ﴿۸۰﴾
Chapter 18: AL-KAHF (THE CAVE) - Juz' 15
and we intended that their lord should change him for them for one better in purity and nearer to mercy. (۸۱)
فَأَرَدْنَا أَن يُبْدِلَهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا خَيْرًا مِّنْهُ زَكَاةً وَأَقْرَبَ رُحْمًا ﴿۸۱﴾
and as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure belonging to them, and their father had been righteous, and thy lord intended that they should come to their full strength and should bring forth their treasure as a mercy from their lord; and i did it not upon my own command. such is the interpretation of that wherewith thou couldst not bear. (۸۲)
وَأَمَّا الْجِدَارُ فَكَانَ لِغُلَامَيْنِ يَتِيمَيْنِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَ تَحْتَهُ كَنزٌ لَّهُمَا وَكَانَ أَبُوهُمَا صَالِحًا فَأَرَادَ رَبُّكَ أَنْ يَبْلُغَا أَشُدَّهُمَا وَيَسْتَخْرِجَا كَنزَهُمَا رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَمَا فَعَلْتُهُ عَنْ أَمْرِي ذَلِكَ تَأْوِيلُ مَا لَمْ تَسْطِع عَّلَيْهِ صَبْرًا ﴿۸۲﴾
they will ask thee of dhu'l-qarneyn. say: i shall recite unto you a remembrance of him. (۸۳)
وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَن ذِي الْقَرْنَيْنِ قُلْ سَأَتْلُو عَلَيْكُم مِّنْهُ ذِكْرًا ﴿۸۳﴾
lo! we made him strong in the land and gave him unto every thing a road. (۸۴)
إِنَّا مَكَّنَّا لَهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَآتَيْنَاهُ مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ سَبَبًا ﴿۸۴﴾
and he followed a road (۸۵)
فَأَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا ﴿۸۵﴾
till, when he reached the setting-place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring, and found a people thereabout. we said: o dhu'l-qarneyn! either punish or show them kindness. (۸۶)
حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ مَغْرِبَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَغْرُبُ فِي عَيْنٍ حَمِئَةٍ وَوَجَدَ عِندَهَا قَوْمًا قُلْنَا يَا ذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ إِمَّا أَن تُعَذِّبَ وَإِمَّا أَن تَتَّخِذَ فِيهِمْ حُسْنًا ﴿۸۶﴾
he said: as for him who doeth wrong, we shall punish him, and then he will be brought back unto his lord, who will punish him with awful punishment! (۸۷)
قَالَ أَمَّا مَن ظَلَمَ فَسَوْفَ نُعَذِّبُهُ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّ إِلَى رَبِّهِ فَيُعَذِّبُهُ عَذَابًا نُّكْرًا ﴿۸۷﴾
but as for him who believeth and doeth right, good will be his reward, and we shall speak unto him a mild command. (۸۸)
وَأَمَّا مَنْ آمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلَهُ جَزَاء الْحُسْنَى وَسَنَقُولُ لَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِنَا يُسْرًا ﴿۸۸﴾
then he followed a road (۸۹)
ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا ﴿۸۹﴾
till, when he reached the rising-place of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom we had appointed no shelter therefrom. (۹۰)
حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ مَطْلِعَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَطْلُعُ عَلَى قَوْمٍ لَّمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُم مِّن دُونِهَا سِتْرًا ﴿۹۰﴾
Chapter 18: AL-KAHF (THE CAVE) - Juz' 15
so (it was). and we knew all concerning him. (۹۱)
كَذَلِكَ وَقَدْ أَحَطْنَا بِمَا لَدَيْهِ خُبْرًا ﴿۹۱﴾
then he followed a road (۹۲)
ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا ﴿۹۲﴾
till, when he came between the two mountains, he found upon their hither side a folk that scarce could understand a saying. (۹۳)
حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ بَيْنَ السَّدَّيْنِ وَجَدَ مِن دُونِهِمَا قَوْمًا لَّا يَكَادُونَ يَفْقَهُونَ قَوْلًا ﴿۹۳﴾
they said: o dhu'l-qarneyn! lo! gog and magog are spoiling the land. so may we pay thee tribute on condition that thou set a barrier between us and them? (۹۴)
قَالُوا يَا ذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ إِنَّ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَهَلْ نَجْعَلُ لَكَ خَرْجًا عَلَى أَن تَجْعَلَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ سَدًّا ﴿۹۴﴾
he said: that wherein my lord hath established me is better (than your tribute). do but help me with strength (of men), i will set between you and them a bank. (۹۵)
قَالَ مَا مَكَّنِّي فِيهِ رَبِّي خَيْرٌ فَأَعِينُونِي بِقُوَّةٍ أَجْعَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ رَدْمًا ﴿۹۵﴾
give me pieces of iron - till, when he had levelled up (the gap) between the cliffs, he said: blow! - till, when he had made it a fire, he said: bring me molten copper to pour thereon. (۹۶)
آتُونِي زُبَرَ الْحَدِيدِ حَتَّى إِذَا سَاوَى بَيْنَ الصَّدَفَيْنِ قَالَ انفُخُوا حَتَّى إِذَا جَعَلَهُ نَارًا قَالَ آتُونِي أُفْرِغْ عَلَيْهِ قِطْرًا ﴿۹۶﴾
and (gog and magog) were not able to surmount, nor could they pierce (it). (۹۷)
فَمَا اسْطَاعُوا أَن يَظْهَرُوهُ وَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوا لَهُ نَقْبًا ﴿۹۷﴾
he said: this is a mercy from my lord; but when the promise of my lord cometh to pass, he will lay it low, for the promise of my lord is true. (۹۸)
قَالَ هَذَا رَحْمَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّي فَإِذَا جَاء وَعْدُ رَبِّي جَعَلَهُ دَكَّاء وَكَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّي حَقًّا ﴿۹۸﴾
and on that day we shall let some of them surge against others, and the trumpet will be blown. then we shall gather them together in one gathering. (۹۹)
وَتَرَكْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَمُوجُ فِي بَعْضٍ وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَجَمَعْنَاهُمْ جَمْعًا ﴿۹۹﴾
on that day we shall present hell to the disbelievers, plain to view, (۱۰۰)
وَعَرَضْنَا جَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْكَافِرِينَ عَرْضًا ﴿۱۰۰﴾
Chapter 18: AL-KAHF (THE CAVE) - Juz' 15
those whose eyes were hoodwinked from my reminder, and who could not bear to hear. (۱۰۱)
الَّذِينَ كَانَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمْ فِي غِطَاء عَن ذِكْرِي وَكَانُوا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ سَمْعًا ﴿۱۰۱﴾
do the disbelievers reckon that they can choose my bondmen as protecting friends beside me? lo! we have prepared hell as a welcome for the disbelievers. (۱۰۲)
أَفَحَسِبَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَن يَتَّخِذُوا عِبَادِي مِن دُونِي أَوْلِيَاء إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلْكَافِرِينَ نُزُلًا ﴿۱۰۲﴾
say: shall we inform you who will be the greatest losers by their works? (۱۰۳)
قُلْ هَلْ نُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِالْأَخْسَرِينَ أَعْمَالًا ﴿۱۰۳﴾
those whose effort goeth astray in the life of the world, and yet they reckon that they do good work. (۱۰۴)
الَّذِينَ ضَلَّ سَعْيُهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يُحْسِنُونَ صُنْعًا ﴿۱۰۴﴾
those are they who disbelieve in the revelations of their lord and in the meeting with him. therefor their works are vain, and on the day of resurrection we assign no weight to them. (۱۰۵)
أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَلِقَائِهِ فَحَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ فَلَا نُقِيمُ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَزْنًا ﴿۱۰۵﴾
that is their reward: hell, because they disbelieved, and made a jest of our revelations and our messengers. (۱۰۶)
ذَلِكَ جَزَاؤُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ بِمَا كَفَرُوا وَاتَّخَذُوا آيَاتِي وَرُسُلِي هُزُوًا ﴿۱۰۶﴾
lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs are the gardens of paradise for welcome, (۱۰۷)
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ نُزُلًا ﴿۱۰۷﴾
wherein they will abide, with no desire to be removed from thence. (۱۰۸)
خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا لَا يَبْغُونَ عَنْهَا حِوَلًا ﴿۱۰۸﴾
say: though the sea became ink for the words of my lord, verily the sea would be used up before the words of my lord were exhausted, even though we brought the like thereof to help. (۱۰۹)
قُل لَّوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِّكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّي لَنَفِدَ الْبَحْرُ قَبْلَ أَن تَنفَدَ كَلِمَاتُ رَبِّي وَلَوْ جِئْنَا بِمِثْلِهِ مَدَدًا ﴿۱۰۹﴾
say: i am only a mortal like you. my lord inspireth in me that your allah is only one allah. and whoever hopeth for the meeting with his lord, let him do righteous work, and make none sharer of the worship due unto his lord. (۱۱۰)
قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُوحَى إِلَيَّ أَنَّمَا إِلَهُكُمْ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَاء رَبِّهِ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَدًا ﴿۱۱۰﴾
