مَآ أَنتَ بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجْنُونٍۢ ﴿٢﴾
[68:2] Regarding your Lord’s blessings, you are not crazy.
وَإِنَّ لَكَ لَأَجْرًا غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍۢ ﴿٣﴾
[68:3] And indeed there will be a well deserved recompense for you.
وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ﴿٤﴾
[68:4] And you possess a great moral character.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ ﴿٧﴾
[68:7] Indeed your Lord knows best who has strayed off His path, and He knows best the guided ones.
وَدُّوا۟ لَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ ﴿٩﴾
[68:9] They love to compromise so that you may compromise.
وَلَا تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلَّافٍۢ مَّهِينٍ ﴿١٠﴾
[68:10] And do not obey every lowly swearer,-
هَمَّازٍۢ مَّشَّآءٍۭ بِنَمِيمٍۢ ﴿١١﴾
[68:11] -a slanderer, a ubiquitous backbiter,-
مَّنَّاعٍۢ لِّلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ ﴿١٢﴾
[68:12] -forbidder of righteousness, transgressor, sinful.
عُتُلٍّۭ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ زَنِيمٍ ﴿١٣﴾
[68:13] Finally, unappreciative and full of greed,-
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿١٥﴾
[68:15] When Our proofs are recited to him, he says, tales from the past.
إِنَّا بَلَوْنَٰهُمْ كَمَا بَلَوْنَآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ إِذْ أَقْسَمُوا۟ لَيَصْرِمُنَّهَا مُصْبِحِينَ ﴿١٧﴾
[68:17] Indeed, We tested them just as We tested the proprietors of the garden, as they were confident to pick the fruits in the morning.
فَطَافَ عَلَيْهَا طَآئِفٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَهُمْ نَآئِمُونَ ﴿١٩﴾
[68:19] Then, a visitor from your Lord arrived while they were asleep.
فَأَصْبَحَتْ كَٱلصَّرِيمِ ﴿٢٠﴾
[68:20] Consequently, by the morning, it became completely barren.
أَنِ ٱغْدُوا۟ عَلَىٰ حَرْثِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰرِمِينَ ﴿٢٢﴾
[68:22] -it is morning, go to your harvest, if you are to reap it.
فَٱنطَلَقُوا۟ وَهُمْ يَتَخَٰفَتُونَ ﴿٢٣﴾
[68:23] They therefore departed, whispering,-
أَن لَّا يَدْخُلَنَّهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكُم مِّسْكِينٌۭ ﴿٢٤﴾
[68:24] -do not let any needy person enter it today.
وَغَدَوْا۟ عَلَىٰ حَرْدٍۢ قَٰدِرِينَ ﴿٢٥﴾
[68:25] And so they started the morning, completely resolute.
فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهَا قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا لَضَآلُّونَ ﴿٢٦﴾
[68:26] But when they saw it, they said, we have certainly lost.
قَالَ أَوْسَطُهُمْ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ لَوْلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ ﴿٢٨﴾
[68:28] The just one amongst them said; did I not tell you that you should glorify?
قَالُوا۟ سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ ﴿٢٩﴾
[68:29] They said; glory to our Lord, we have certainly been transgressors.
فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَلَٰوَمُونَ ﴿٣٠﴾
[68:30] Then they turned to one another blaming.
قَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا طَٰغِينَ ﴿٣١﴾
[68:31] They said; woe to us, we have indeed been rebellious.
عَسَىٰ رَبُّنَآ أَن يُبْدِلَنَا خَيْرًۭا مِّنْهَآ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا رَٰغِبُونَ ﴿٣٢﴾
[68:32] Perhaps, our Lord will give us in exchange something better than this; we certainly seek our Lord.
كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْعَذَابُ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٣٣﴾
[68:33] Such is the suffering; however, the suffering of the Hereafter is far greater. If they only knew.
إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ﴿٣٤﴾
[68:34] Surely, the righteous will be at their Lord in blissful Gardens.
أَفَنَجْعَلُ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ كَٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿٣٥﴾
[68:35] Shall We therefore treat the peace offerers like the guilty?
أَمْ لَكُمْ كِتَٰبٌۭ فِيهِ تَدْرُسُونَ ﴿٣٧﴾
[68:37] Do you have a book through which you learn?
إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِيهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ ﴿٣٨﴾
[68:38] Can you indeed find in it anything you like?
أَمْ لَكُمْ أَيْمَٰنٌ عَلَيْنَا بَٰلِغَةٌ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ إِنَّ لَكُمْ لَمَا تَحْكُمُونَ ﴿٣٩﴾
[68:39] Have you taken an oath from Us until the Day of Resurrection that you indeed shall have anything you want?
سَلْهُمْ أَيُّهُم بِذَٰلِكَ زَعِيمٌ ﴿٤٠﴾
[68:40] Ask them, is this what they think?
أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَآءُ فَلْيَأْتُوا۟ بِشُرَكَآئِهِمْ إِن كَانُوا۟ صَٰدِقِينَ ﴿٤١﴾
[68:41] Do they have partners for god? Then let them bring forth their partners for god, if they are truthful.
يَوْمَ يُكْشَفُ عَن سَاقٍۢ وَيُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ﴿٤٢﴾
[68:42] The day when they will be completely exposed and they will be invited to fall prostrate but they cannot.
خَٰشِعَةً أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌۭ وَقَدْ كَانُوا۟ يُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ وَهُمْ سَٰلِمُونَ ﴿٤٣﴾
[68:43] With their eyes subdued, overwhelmed with humility, they realize they were invited to fall prostrate when they were whole and able.
فَذَرْنِى وَمَن يُكَذِّبُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٤٤﴾
[68:44] Therefore, do not blame Me, and whoever rejects this narration, We will put them in their places from where they least expect.
وَأُمْلِى لَهُمْ إِنَّ كَيْدِى مَتِينٌ ﴿٤٥﴾
[68:45] And inform them that My system is indeed formidable.
أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ أَجْرًۭا فَهُم مِّن مَّغْرَمٍۢ مُّثْقَلُونَ ﴿٤٦﴾
[68:46] Are you asking them for a wage that heavily burdens them?
أَمْ عِندَهُمُ ٱلْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾
[68:47] Do they know the future and have recorded it?
فَٱصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُن كَصَاحِبِ ٱلْحُوتِ إِذْ نَادَىٰ وَهُوَ مَكْظُومٌۭ ﴿٤٨﴾
[68:48] Therefore, be patient for your Lord’s judgment and do not be like the companion of the whale, as he called out in agony.
لَّوْلَآ أَن تَدَٰرَكَهُۥ نِعْمَةٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ لَنُبِذَ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ مَذْمُومٌۭ ﴿٤٩﴾
[68:49] If it were not for a blessing from his Lord that touched him, he would have been thrown into the desert in disgrace.
فَٱجْتَبَٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَجَعَلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ﴿٥٠﴾
[68:50] But, His Lord chose him and made him one of the righteous ones.
وَإِن يَكَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَٰرِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا۟ ٱلذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُۥ لَمَجْنُونٌۭ ﴿٥١﴾
[68:51] And the unfaithful almost want to wipe you out with their eyes when they hear the message; and they say, he is surely crazy.
