Innaaa anzalnaahu fee lailatim mubaarakah; innaa kunnaa munzireen

فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ ﴿٤﴾

Feehaa yufraqu kullu amrin hakeem

Amram min 'indinaaa; innaa kunnaa mursileen

5[Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger]

Rahmatam mir rabbik; innahoo Huwas Samee'ul 'Aleem

7Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them, if you would be certain.

لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿٨﴾

Laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa yuhyee wa yumeetu Rabbukum wa Rabbu aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen

Bal hum fee shakkiny yal'aboon

9But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.

Yaghshan naasa haazaa 'azaabun aleem

11Covering the people; this is a painful torment.

رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿١٢﴾

Rabbanak shif 'annal 'azaaba innaa mu'minoon

12[They will say], "Our Lord, remove from us the torment; indeed, we are believers."

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ﴿١٣﴾

Annaa lahumuz zikraa wa qad jaaa'ahum Rasoolum mubeen

13How will there be for them a reminder [at that time]? And there had come to them a clear Messenger.

Summaa tawallaw 'anhu wa qaaloo mu'allamum majnoon

14Then they turned away from him and said, "[He was] taught [and is] a madman."

Innaa kaashiful 'azaabi qaleelaa; innakum 'aaa'indoon

15Indeed, We will remove the torment for a little. Indeed, you [disbelievers] will return [to disbelief].

Wa laqad fatannaa qablahum qawma Fir'awna wa jaaa'ahum Rasoolun kareem

An addooo ilaiya 'ibaadal laahi innee lakum Rasoolun ameen

18[Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allah. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger,"

Wa al laa ta'loo 'alal laahi innee aateekum bisultaanim mubeen

Wa il lam tu'minoo lee fa'taziloon

21But if you do not believe me, then leave me alone."

23[Allah said], "Then set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you are to be pursued.

وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌۭ مُّغْرَقُونَ ﴿٢٤﴾

Watrukil bahra rahwan innahum jundum mughraqoon

Famaa bakat 'alaihimus samaaa'u wal ardu wa maa kaanoo munzareen

29And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.

Wa laqad najjainaa Baneee Israaa'eela minal'azaabil muheen

30And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment -

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ ﴿٣٤﴾

Inna haaa'ulaaa'i la yaqooloon

34Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ ﴿٣٥﴾

In hiya illaa mawtatunal oolaa wa maa nahnu bimun shareen
