Translation of Surah Al-Ḥijr in English by Saheeh International
Surah Al-Ḥijr
In The Name
of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Alif, Lam, Ra.
These are the verses of the Book and a clear Qur'an. (Quran
Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:1)
Perhaps those who
disbelieve will wish that they had been Muslims. (Quran
Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:2)
Let them eat and
enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know. (Quran
Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:3)
And We did not
destroy any city but that for it was a known decree. (Quran
Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:4)
No nation will
precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter. (Quran
Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:5)
And they say,"O
you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad. (Quran Surah
Al-Ḥijr 15:6)
Why do you not
bring us the angels, if you should be among the truthful?" (Quran Surah
Al-Ḥijr 15:7)
We do not send
down the angels except with truth; and the disbelievers would not then be
reprieved. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:8)
Indeed, it is We
who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian. (Quran Surah
Al-Ḥijr 15:9)
And We had
certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muhammad], among the sects of the
former peoples. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:10)
And no messenger
would come to them except that they ridiculed him. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:11)
Thus do We insert
denial into the hearts of the criminals. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:12)
They will not
believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former
peoples. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:13)
And [even] if We
opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend, (Quran
Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:14)
They would say,
"Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by
magic." (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:15)
And We have
placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.
(Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:16)
And We have
protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allah ] (Quran Surah
Al-Ḥijr 15:17)
Except one who
steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr
15:18)
And the earth -
We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow
therein [something] of every well-balanced thing. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:19)
And We have made
for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers.
(Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:20)
And there is not
a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down
except according to a known measure. (Quran 15:21)
And We have sent
the fertilizing winds and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from
it. And you are not its retainers. (Quran 15:22)
And indeed, it is
We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor. (Quran 15:23)
And We have
already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known
the later [ones to come]. (Quran 15:24)
And indeed, your
Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing. (Quran 15:25)
And We did
certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud. (Quran 15:26)
And the jinn We
created before from scorching fire. (Quran 15:27)
And [mention, O
Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being
out of clay from an altered black mud. (Quran 15:28)
And when I have
proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to
him in prostration." (Quran 15:29)
So the angels
prostrated - all of them entirely, (Quran 15:30)
Except Iblees, he
refused to be with those who prostrated. (Quran 15:31)
[ Allah ] said, O
Iblees, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate?"
(Quran 15:32)
He said,
"Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an
altered black mud." (Quran 15:33)
[ Allah ] said,
"Then get out of it, for indeed, you are expelled. (Quran 15:34)
And indeed, upon
you is the curse until the Day of Recompense." (Quran 15:35)
He said,"My
Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected." (Quran 15:36)
[ Allah ] said,
"So indeed, you are of those reprieved (Quran 15:37)
Until the Day of
the time well-known." (Quran 15:38)
[Iblees] said,
"My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make
[disobedience] attractive to them on earth, and I will mislead them all (Quran
15:39)
Except, among
them, Your chosen servants." (Quran 15:40)
[ Allah ] said,
"This is a path [of return] to Me [that is] straight. (Quran 15:41)
Indeed, My
servants - no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of
the deviators. (Quran 15:42)
And indeed, Hell
is the promised place for them all. (Quran 15:43)
It has seven
gates; for every gate is of them a portion designated." (Quran 15:44)
Indeed, the
righteous will be within gardens and springs. (Quran 15:45)
[Having been
told], "Enter it in peace, safe [and secure]." (Quran 15:46)
And We will
remove whatever is in their breasts of resentment, [so they will be] brothers,
on thrones facing each other. (Quran 15:47)
No fatigue will
touch them therein, nor from it will they [ever] be removed. (Quran 15:48)
[O Muhammad],
inform My servants that it is I who am the Forgiving, the Merciful. (Quran 15:49)
And that it is My
punishment which is the painful punishment. (Quran 15:50)
And inform them
about the guests of Abraham, (Quran 15:51)
When they entered
upon him and said, "Peace." [Abraham] said, "Indeed, we are
fearful of you." (Quran 15:52)
[The angels]
said, "Fear not. Indeed, we give you good tidings of a learned boy."
(Quran 15:53)
He said,
"Have you given me good tidings although old age has come upon me? Then of
what [wonder] do you inform?" (Quran 15:54)
They said,
"We have given you good tidings in truth, so do not be of the
despairing." (Quran 15:55)
He said,
"And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?"
(Quran 15:56)
[Abraham] said,
"Then what is your business [here], O messengers?" (Quran 15:57)
They said,
"Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals, (Quran 15:58)
Except the family
of Lot; indeed, we will save them all (Quran 15:59)
Except his
wife." Allah decreed that she is of those who remain behind. (Quran 15:60)
And when the
messengers came to the family of Lot, (Quran 15:61)
He said,
"Indeed, you are people unknown." (Quran 15:62)
They said, "But
we have come to you with that about which they were disputing, (Quran 15:63)
And we have come
to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful. (Quran 15:64)
So set out with
your family during a portion of the night and follow behind them and let not
anyone among you look back and continue on to where you are commanded." (Quran
15:65)
And We conveyed
to him [the decree] of that matter: that those [sinners] would be eliminated by
early morning. (Quran 15:66)
And the people of
the city came rejoicing. (Quran 15:67)
[Lot] said,
"Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me. (Quran 15:68)
And fear Allah
and do not disgrace me." (Quran 15:69)
They said,
"Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?" (Quran 15:70)
[Lot] said,
"These are my daughters - if you would be doers [of lawful
marriage]." (Quran 15:71)
By your life, [O
Muhammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly. (Quran
15:72)
So the shriek
seized them at sunrise. (Quran 15:73)
And We made the
highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay.
(Quran 15:74)
Indeed in that
are signs for those who discern. (Quran 15:75)
And indeed, those
cities are [situated] on an established road. (Quran 15:76)
Indeed in that is
a sign for the believers. (Quran 15:77)
And the
companions of the thicket were [also] wrongdoers. (Quran 15:78)
So We took
retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway. (Quran
15:79)
And certainly did
the companions of Thamud deny the messengers. (Quran 15:80)
And We gave them
Our signs, but from them they were turning away. (Quran 15:81)
And they used to
carve from the mountains, houses, feeling secure. (Quran 15:82)
But the shriek
seized them at early morning. (Quran 15:83)
So nothing
availed them [from] what they used to earn. (Quran 15:84)
And We have not
created the heavens and earth and that between them except in truth. And indeed,
the Hour is coming; so forgive with gracious forgiveness. (Quran 15:85)
Indeed, your Lord
- He is the Knowing Creator. (Quran 15:86)
And We have
certainly given you, [O Muhammad], seven of the often repeated [verses] and the
great Qur'an. (Quran 15:87)
Do not extend
your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [certain] categories
of the disbelievers, and do not grieve over them. And lower your wing to the
believers (Quran 15:88)
And say,
"Indeed, I am the clear warner" - (Quran 15:89)
Just as We had
revealed [scriptures] to the separators (Quran 15:90)
Who have made the
Qur'an into portions. (Quran 15:91)
So by your Lord,
We will surely question them all (Quran 15:92)
About what they
used to do. (Quran 15:93)
Then declare what
you are commanded and turn away from the polytheists. (Quran 15:94)
Indeed, We are
sufficient for you against the mockers (Quran 15:95)
Who make [equal]
with Allah another deity. But they are going to know. (Quran 15:96)
And We already
know that your breast is constrained by what they say. (Quran 15:97)
So exalt [ Allah
] with praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate [to Him]. (Quran 15:98)
And worship your
Lord until there comes to you the certainty (death). (Quran 15:99)
