They were of Our believing servants
وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa inna Ilyaasa laminal mursaleen
Also Elijah was one of the messengers
إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
Iz qaala liqawmiheee alaa tattaqoon
أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَـٰلِقِينَ
Atad'oona Ba'lanw wa tazaroona ahsanal khaaliqeen
ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Allaaha Rabbakum wa Rabba aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen
He said to his people, “Do you not fear
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
Fakazzaboohu fa inna hum lamuhdaroon
But they called him a liar, and thus they will be brought forward
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
Except for God’s sincere servants
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ
Wa taraknaa 'alaihi fil aakhireen
And We left with him for later generations
سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ

Peace be upon the House of Elijah
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen
Thus We reward the virtuous
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Innahoo min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen
He was one of Our believing servants
وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa inna Lootal laminal mursaleen
And Lot was one of the messengers
إِذْ نَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ
Iz najjainaahu wa ahlahooo ajma'een
We saved him and his family, all of them
إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ
Illaa 'ajoozan fil ghaabireen
Except for an old woman who lagged behind
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ
Summa dammarnal aakhareen
Then We annihilated the others
وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ
Wa innakum latamurroona 'alaihim musbiheen
وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
Wa billail; afalaa ta'qiloon
You pass by them in the morning
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa inna Yoonusa laminal mursaleen
And Jonah was one of the messengers
إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ
Iz abaqa ilal fulkil mash hoon
When he fled to the laden boat
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ
Fasaahama fakaana minal mudhadeen
He gambled and lost
فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ
Faltaqamahul hootu wa huwa muleem
Then the fish swallowed him, and he was to blame
فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ
Falaw laaa annahoo kaana minal musabbiheen
لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
Lalabisa fee batniheee ilaa Yawmi yub'asoon
Had he not been one of those who praised
۞ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ
Fanabaznaahu bil'araaa'i wa huwa saqeem
Then We threw him into the wilderness, and he was sick
وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ
Wa ambatnaa 'alaihi shajaratam mai yaqteen
And We made a gourd tree grow over him
وَأَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ
Wa arsalnaahu ilaa mi'ati alfin aw yazeedoon
Then We sent him to a hundred thousand, or more
فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ
Fa aamanoo famatta' naahum ilaa heen
And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment for a while
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ
Fastaftihim ali Rabbikal banaatu wa lahumul banoon
Ask them, “Are the daughters for your Lord, while for them the sons?”
أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَـٰثًا وَهُمْ شَـٰهِدُونَ
Am khalaqnal malaaa'i kata inaasanw wa hm shaahidoon
Or did We create the angels females, as they witnessed?”
أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ
Alaaa innahum min ifkihim la yaqooloon
وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ
Waladal laahu wa innhum lakaaziboon
No indeed! It is one of their lies when they say
أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ
Astafal banaati 'alal baneen
So He preferred girls over boys
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
Maa lakum kaifa tahkumoon
What is the matter with you? How do you judge
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Afalaa tazakkaroon
Will you not reflect
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌ مُّبِينٌ
Am lakum sultaanum mubeen
Or do you have some clear proof
فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ
Faatoo bi Kitaabikum in kuntum saadiqeen
Then bring your book, if you are telling the truth
وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
Wa ja'aloo bainahoo wa bainal jinnati nasabaa; wa laqad 'alimatil jinnatu innahum lamuhdaroon
And they invented a relationship between Him and the jinn. But the jinn know that they will be arraigned
سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Subhaanal laahi 'ammaa yasifoon
God be glorified, far above what they allege
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
Except for God’s sincere servants
فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ
Fa innakum wa maa ta'ubdoon
مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَـٰتِنِينَ
Maaa antum 'alaihi befaaatineen
إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Illaa man huwa saalil jaheem
Surely, you and what you serve
وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ
Wa maa minnasa illaa lahoo maqaamum ma'loom
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ
Wa innaa llanah nus saaffoon
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ
Wa innaa lanah nul musabbihoon
“There is not one of us but has an assigned position
وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ
Wa in kaanoo la yaqooloon
لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Law anna 'indana zikram minal awwaleen
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Lakunna 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
Even though they used to say
فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Fakafaroo bihee fasawfa ya'lamoon
But they rejected it, so they will find out
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa laqad sabaqat Kalimatunaa li'ibaadinal mursa leen
إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ
Innaa hum lahumul mansooroon
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ
Wa inna jundana lahumul ghaaliboon
Our Word has already gone out to our servant messengers
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
Fatawalla 'anhum hatta heen
So disregard them for a while
وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Wa absirhum fasawfa yubsiroon
And watch them—they will soon see
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Afabi'azaabinaa yasta'jiloon
Are they seeking to hasten Our punishment
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
Fa izaa nazala bisaahatihim fasaaa'a sabaahul munzareen
When it descends into their yard, miserable will be the morning of those forewarned
وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
Wa tawalla 'anhum hattaa heen
So avoid them for a while
وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Wa absir fasawfa yubsiroon
And watch—they will soon see
سُبْحَـٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Subhaana Rabbika Rabbil 'izzati 'amma yasifoon
Exalted be your Lord, the Lord of Glory, beyond their allegations
وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa salaamun 'alalmursaleen
And peace be upon the messengers
وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
Walhamdu lillaahi Rabbil 'aalameen
And praise be to God, the Lord of the Worlds
