وَقَـٰرُونَ And Qarun waqārūna and Firaun wafir'ʿawna and Haman wahāmāna And certainly walaqad came to them jāahum Musa mūsā with clear evidences bil-bayināti but they were arrogant fa-is'takbarū in fī the earth l-arḍi and not wamā they could kānū outstrip Us sābiqīna
And [We destroyed] Qārūn and Pharaoh and Hāmān. And Moses had already come to them with clear evidences, and they were arrogant in the land, but they were not outrunners [of Our punishment].
فَكُلًّا So each fakullan We seized akhadhnā for his sin bidhanbihi Then of them famin'hum (was he) who man We sent arsalnā on him ʿalayhi a violent storm ḥāṣiban and of them wamin'hum (was he) who man seized him akhadhathu the awful cry l-ṣayḥatu and of them wamin'hum (was he) who man We caused to swallow khasafnā him bihi the earth l-arḍa and of them wamin'hum (was he) who man We drowned aghraqnā And not wamā was kāna Allah l-lahu to wrong them liyaẓlimahum but walākin they were kānū themselves anfusahum doing wrong yaẓlimūna
So each We seized for his sin; and among them were those upon whom We sent a storm of stones, and among them were those who were seized by the blast [from the sky], and among them were those whom We caused the earth to swallow, and among them were those whom We drowned. And Allāh would not have wronged them, but it was they who were wronging themselves.
مَثَلُ (The) example mathalu (of) those who alladhīna take ittakhadhū besides min besides dūni Allah l-lahi protectors awliyāa (is) like kamathali the spider l-ʿankabūti who takes ittakhadhat a house baytan And indeed wa-inna the weakest awhana (of) houses l-buyūti (is) surely (the) house labaytu (of) the spider l-ʿankabūti if (only) law they kānū know yaʿlamūna
The example of those who take allies other than Allāh is like that of the spider who takes [i.e., constructs] a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew.
إِنَّ Indeed inna Allah l-laha knows yaʿlamu what mā they invoke yadʿūna besides Him min besides Him dūnihi any min thing shayin And He wahuwa (is) the All-Mighty l-ʿazīzu the All-Wise l-ḥakīmu
Indeed, Allāh knows whatever thing they call upon1 other than Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
وَتِلْكَ And these watil'ka examples l-amthālu We set forth naḍribuhā to mankind lilnnāsi but not wamā will understand them yaʿqiluhā except illā those of knowledge l-ʿālimūna
And these examples We present to the people, but none will understand them except those of knowledge.
خَلَقَ Allah created khalaqa Allah created l-lahu the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍa in truth bil-ḥaqi Indeed inna in fī that dhālika (is) surely a Sign laāyatan for the believers lil'mu'minīna
Allāh created the heavens and the earth in truth. Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.
ٱتْلُ Recite ut'lu what mā has been revealed ūḥiya to you ilayka of mina the Book l-kitābi and establish wa-aqimi the prayer l-ṣalata Indeed inna the prayer l-ṣalata prevents tanhā from ʿani the immorality l-faḥshāi and evil deeds wal-munkari and surely (the) remembrance waladhik'ru (of) Allah l-lahi (is) greatest akbaru And Allah wal-lahu knows yaʿlamu what mā you do taṣnaʿūna
Recite, [O Muḥammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allāh is greater. And Allāh knows that which you do.
