بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
21:1
Sahih International
[The time of] their account has approached for the people, while they are in heedlessness turning away.
21:2
Sahih International
No mention comes to them anew from their Lord except that they listen to it while they are at play
21:3
Sahih International
With their hearts distracted. And those who do wrong conceal their private conversation, [saying], "Is this [Prophet] except a human being like you? So would you approach magic while you are aware [of it]?"
21:4
Sahih International
The Prophet said, "My Lord knows whatever is said throughout the heaven and earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing."
21:5
Sahih International
But they say, "[The revelation is but] a mixture of false dreams; rather, he has invented it; rather, he is a poet. So let him bring us a sign just as the previous [messengers] were sent [with miracles]."
21:6
Sahih International
Not a [single] city which We destroyed believed before them, so will they believe?
21:7
Sahih International
And We sent not before you, [O Muhammad], except men to whom We revealed [the message], so ask the people of the message if you do not know.
21:8
Sahih International
And We did not make the prophets forms not eating food, nor were they immortal [on earth].
21:9
Sahih International
Then We fulfilled for them the promise, and We saved them and whom We willed and destroyed the transgressors.
21:10
Sahih International
We have certainly sent down to you a Book in which is your mention. Then will you not reason?
21:11
Sahih International
And how many a city which was unjust have We shattered and produced after it another people.
21:12
Sahih International
And when its inhabitants perceived Our punishment, at once they fled from it.
21:13
Sahih International
[Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes - perhaps you will be questioned."
21:14
Sahih International
They said, "O woe to us! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."
21:15
Sahih International
And that declaration of theirs did not cease until We made them [as] a harvest [mowed down], extinguished [like a fire].
21:16
Sahih International
And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play.
21:17
Sahih International
Had We intended to take a diversion, We could have taken it from [what is] with Us - if [indeed] We were to do so.
21:18
Sahih International
Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you describe.
21:19
Sahih International
To Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those near Him are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, nor do they tire.
21:20
Sahih International
They exalt [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken.
21:21
Sahih International
Or have men taken for themselves gods from the earth who resurrect [the dead]?
21:22
Sahih International
Had there been within the heavens and earth gods besides Allah , they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allah , Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.
21:23
Sahih International
He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.
21:24
Sahih International
Or have they taken gods besides Him? Say, [O Muhammad], "Produce your proof. This [Qur'an] is the message for those with me and the message of those before me." But most of them do not know the truth, so they are turning away.
21:25
Sahih International
And We sent not before you any messenger except that We revealed to him that, "There is no deity except Me, so worship Me."
21:26
Sahih International
And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken a son." Exalted is He! Rather, they are [but] honored servants.
21:27
Sahih International
They cannot precede Him in word, and they act by His command.
21:28
Sahih International
He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they cannot intercede except on behalf of one whom He approves. And they, from fear of Him, are apprehensive.
21:29
Sahih International
And whoever of them should say, "Indeed, I am a god besides Him"- that one We would recompense with Hell. Thus do We recompense the wrongdoers.
21:30
Sahih International
Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?
21:31
Sahih International
And We placed within the earth firmly set mountains, lest it should shift with them, and We made therein [mountain] passes [as] roads that they might be guided.
21:32
Sahih International
And We made the sky a protected ceiling, but they, from its signs, are turning away.
21:33
Sahih International
And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming.
21:34
Sahih International
And We did not grant to any man before you eternity [on earth]; so if you die - would they be eternal?
21:35
Sahih International
Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned.
21:36
Sahih International
And when those who disbelieve see you, [O Muhammad], they take you not except in ridicule, [saying], "Is this the one who insults your gods?" And they are, at the mention of the Most Merciful, disbelievers.
21:37
Sahih International
Man was created of haste. I will show you My signs, so do not impatiently urge Me.
21:38
Sahih International
And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"
21:39
Sahih International
If those who disbelieved but knew the time when they will not avert the Fire from their faces or from their backs and they will not be aided...
21:40
Sahih International
Rather, it will come to them unexpectedly and bewilder them, and they will not be able to repel it, nor will they be reprieved.
21:41
Sahih International
And already were messengers ridiculed before you, but those who mocked them were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.
21:42
Sahih International
Say, "Who can protect you at night or by day from the Most Merciful?" But they are, from the remembrance of their Lord, turning away.
21:43
Sahih International
Or do they have gods to defend them other than Us? They are unable [even] to help themselves, nor can they be protected from Us.
21:44
Sahih International
But, [on the contrary], We have provided good things for these [disbelievers] and their fathers until life was prolonged for them. Then do they not see that We set upon the land, reducing it from its borders? So it is they who will overcome?
21:45
Sahih International
Say, "I only warn you by revelation." But the deaf do not hear the call when they are warned.
21:46
Sahih International
And if [as much as] a whiff of the punishment of your Lord should touch them, they would surely say, "O woe to us! Indeed, we have been wrongdoers."
21:47
Sahih International
And We place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be treated unjustly at all. And if there is [even] the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountant.
21:48
Sahih International
And We had already given Moses and Aaron the criterion and a light and a reminder for the righteous
21:49
Sahih International
Who fear their Lord unseen, while they are of the Hour apprehensive.
21:50
Sahih International
And this [Qur'an] is a blessed message which We have sent down. Then are you with it unacquainted?
21:51
Sahih International
And We had certainly given Abraham his sound judgement before, and We were of him well-Knowing
21:52
Sahih International
When he said to his father and his people, "What are these statues to which you are devoted?"
21:53
Sahih International
They said, "We found our fathers worshippers of them."
21:54
Sahih International
He said, "You were certainly, you and your fathers, in manifest error."
21:55
Sahih International
They said, "Have you come to us with truth, or are you of those who jest?"
21:56
Sahih International
He said, "[No], rather, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth who created them, and I, to that, am of those who testify.
21:57
Sahih International
And [I swear] by Allah , I will surely plan against your idols after you have turned and gone away."
21:58
Sahih International
So he made them into fragments, except a large one among them, that they might return to it [and question].
21:59
Sahih International
They said, "Who has done this to our gods? Indeed, he is of the wrongdoers."
21:60
Sahih International
They said, "We heard a young man mention them who is called Abraham."
21:61
Sahih International
They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people that they may testify."
21:62
Sahih International
They said, "Have you done this to our gods, O Abraham?"
21:63
Sahih International
He said, "Rather, this - the largest of them - did it, so ask them, if they should [be able to] speak."
21:64
Sahih International
So they returned to [blaming] themselves and said [to each other], "Indeed, you are the wrongdoers."
21:65
Sahih International
Then they reversed themselves, [saying], "You have already known that these do not speak!"
21:66
Sahih International
He said, "Then do you worship instead of Allah that which does not benefit you at all or harm you?
21:67
Sahih International
Uff to you and to what you worship instead of Allah . Then will you not use reason?"
21:68
Sahih International
They said, "Burn him and support your gods - if you are to act."
21:69
Sahih International
Allah said, "O fire, be coolness and safety upon Abraham."
21:70
Sahih International
And they intended for him harm, but We made them the greatest losers.
21:71
Sahih International
And We delivered him and Lot to the land which We had blessed for the worlds.
21:72
Sahih International
And We gave him Isaac and Jacob in addition, and all [of them] We made righteous.
21:73
Sahih International
And We made them leaders guiding by Our command. And We inspired to them the doing of good deeds, establishment of prayer, and giving of zakah; and they were worshippers of Us.
21:74
Sahih International
And to Lot We gave judgement and knowledge, and We saved him from the city that was committing wicked deeds. Indeed, they were a people of evil, defiantly disobedient.
21:75
Sahih International
And We admitted him into Our mercy. Indeed, he was of the righteous.
21:76
Sahih International
And [mention] Noah, when he called [to Allah ] before [that time], so We responded to him and saved him and his family from the great flood.
21:77
Sahih International
And We saved him from the people who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a people of evil, so We drowned them, all together.
21:78
Sahih International
And [mention] David and Solomon, when they judged concerning the field - when the sheep of a people overran it [at night], and We were witness to their judgement.
21:79
Sahih International
And We gave understanding of the case to Solomon, and to each [of them] We gave judgement and knowledge. And We subjected the mountains to exalt [Us], along with David and [also] the birds. And We were doing [that].
21:80
Sahih International
And We taught him the fashioning of coats of armor to protect you from your [enemy in] battle. So will you then be grateful?
21:81
Sahih International
And to Solomon [We subjected] the wind, blowing forcefully, proceeding by his command toward the land which We had blessed. And We are ever, of all things, Knowing.
21:82
Sahih International
And of the devils were those who dived for him and did work other than that. And We were of them a guardian.
21:83
Sahih International
And [mention] Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, adversity has touched me, and you are the Most Merciful of the merciful."
21:84
Sahih International
So We responded to him and removed what afflicted him of adversity. And We gave him [back] his family and the like thereof with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for the worshippers [of Allah ].
21:85
Sahih International
And [mention] Ishmael and Idrees and Dhul-Kifl; all were of the patient.
21:86
Sahih International
And We admitted them into Our mercy. Indeed, they were of the righteous.
21:87
Sahih International
And [mention] the man of the fish, when he went off in anger and thought that We would not decree [anything] upon him. And he called out within the darknesses, "There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers."
21:88
Sahih International
So We responded to him and saved him from the distress. And thus do We save the believers.
21:89
Sahih International
And [mention] Zechariah, when he called to his Lord, "My Lord, do not leave me alone [with no heir], while you are the best of inheritors."
21:90
Sahih International
So We responded to him, and We gave to him John, and amended for him his wife. Indeed, they used to hasten to good deeds and supplicate Us in hope and fear, and they were to Us humbly submissive.
21:91
Sahih International
And [mention] the one who guarded her chastity, so We blew into her [garment] through Our angel [Gabriel], and We made her and her son a sign for the worlds.
21:92
Sahih International
Indeed this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so worship Me.
21:93
Sahih International
And [yet] they divided their affair among themselves, [but] all to Us will return.
21:94
Sahih International
So whoever does righteous deeds while he is a believer - no denial will there be for his effort, and indeed We, of it, are recorders.
21:95
Sahih International
And there is prohibition upon [the people of] a city which We have destroyed that they will [ever] return
21:96
Sahih International
Until when [the dam of] Gog and Magog has been opened and they, from every elevation, descend
21:97
Sahih International
And [when] the true promise has approached; then suddenly the eyes of those who disbelieved will be staring [in horror, while they say], "O woe to us; we had been unmindful of this; rather, we were wrongdoers."
21:98
Sahih International
Indeed, you [disbelievers] and what you worship other than Allah are the firewood of Hell. You will be coming to [enter] it.
21:99
Sahih International
Had these [false deities] been [actual] gods, they would not have come to it, but all are eternal therein.
21:100
Sahih International
For them therein is heavy sighing, and they therein will not hear.
21:101
Sahih International
Indeed, those for whom the best [reward] has preceded from Us - they are from it far removed.
21:102
Sahih International
They will not hear its sound, while they are, in that which their souls desire, abiding eternally.
21:103
Sahih International
They will not be grieved by the greatest terror, and the angels will meet them, [saying], "This is your Day which you have been promised" -
21:104
Sahih International
The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet for the records. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it.
21:105
Sahih International
And We have already written in the book [of Psalms] after the [previous] mention that the land [of Paradise] is inherited by My righteous servants.
21:106
Sahih International
Indeed, in this [Qur'an] is notification for a worshipping people.
21:107
Sahih International
And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.
21:108
Sahih International
Say, "It is only revealed to me that your god is but one God; so will you be Muslims [in submission to Him]?"
21:109
Sahih International
But if they turn away, then say, "I have announced to [all of] you equally. And I know not whether near or far is that which you are promised.
21:110
Sahih International
Indeed, He knows what is declared of speech, and He knows what you conceal.
21:111
Sahih International
And I know not; perhaps it is a trial for you and enjoyment for a time."
21:112
Sahih International
[The Prophet] has said, "My Lord, judge [between us] in truth. And our Lord is the Most Merciful, the one whose help is sought against that which you describe."
