Surah Al-Ḥijr

Surah Al-Ḥijr

In The Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the Book and a clear Qur’an. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:1)

Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish that they had been Muslims. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:2)

Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:3)

And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:4)

No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:5)

And they say,”O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:6)

Why do you not bring us the angels, if you should be among the truthful?” (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:7)

We do not send down the angels except with truth; and the disbelievers would not then be reprieved. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:8)

Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur’an and indeed, We will be its guardian. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:9)

And We had certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muhammad], among the sects of the former peoples. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:10)

And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:11)

Thus do We insert denial into the hearts of the criminals. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:12)

They will not believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former peoples. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:13)

And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend, (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:14)

They would say, “Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic.” (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:15)

And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:16)

And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allah ] (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:17)

Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:18)

And the earth – We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:19)

And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers. (Quran Surah Al-Ḥijr 15:20)

And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known measure. (Quran 15:21)

And We have sent the fertilizing winds and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers. (Quran 15:22)

And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor. (Quran 15:23)

And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come]. (Quran 15:24)

And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing. (Quran 15:25)

And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud. (Quran 15:26)

And the jinn We created before from scorching fire. (Quran 15:27)

And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, “I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud. (Quran 15:28)

And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration.” (Quran 15:29)

So the angels prostrated – all of them entirely, (Quran 15:30)

Except Iblees, he refused to be with those who prostrated. (Quran 15:31)

[ Allah ] said, O Iblees, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate?” (Quran 15:32)

He said, “Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud.” (Quran 15:33)

[ Allah ] said, “Then get out of it, for indeed, you are expelled. (Quran 15:34)

And indeed, upon you is the curse until the Day of Recompense.” (Quran 15:35)

He said,”My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected.” (Quran 15:36)

[ Allah ] said, “So indeed, you are of those reprieved (Quran 15:37)

Until the Day of the time well-known.” (Quran 15:38)

[Iblees] said, “My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make [disobedience] attractive to them on earth, and I will mislead them all (Quran 15:39)

Except, among them, Your chosen servants.” (Quran 15:40)

[ Allah ] said, “This is a path [of return] to Me [that is] straight. (Quran 15:41)

Indeed, My servants – no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators. (Quran 15:42)

And indeed, Hell is the promised place for them all. (Quran 15:43)

It has seven gates; for every gate is of them a portion designated.” (Quran 15:44)

Indeed, the righteous will be within gardens and springs. (Quran 15:45)

[Having been told], “Enter it in peace, safe [and secure].” (Quran 15:46)

And We will remove whatever is in their breasts of resentment, [so they will be] brothers, on thrones facing each other. (Quran 15:47)

No fatigue will touch them therein, nor from it will they [ever] be removed. (Quran 15:48)

[O Muhammad], inform My servants that it is I who am the Forgiving, the Merciful. (Quran 15:49)

And that it is My punishment which is the painful punishment. (Quran 15:50)

And inform them about the guests of Abraham, (Quran 15:51)

When they entered upon him and said, “Peace.” [Abraham] said, “Indeed, we are fearful of you.” (Quran 15:52)

[The angels] said, “Fear not. Indeed, we give you good tidings of a learned boy.” (Quran 15:53)

He said, “Have you given me good tidings although old age has come upon me? Then of what [wonder] do you inform?” (Quran 15:54)

They said, “We have given you good tidings in truth, so do not be of the despairing.” (Quran 15:55)

He said, “And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?” (Quran 15:56)

[Abraham] said, “Then what is your business [here], O messengers?” (Quran 15:57)

They said, “Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals, (Quran 15:58)

Except the family of Lot; indeed, we will save them all (Quran 15:59)

Except his wife.” Allah decreed that she is of those who remain behind. (Quran 15:60)

And when the messengers came to the family of Lot, (Quran 15:61)

He said, “Indeed, you are people unknown.” (Quran 15:62)

They said, “But we have come to you with that about which they were disputing, (Quran 15:63)

And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful. (Quran 15:64)

So set out with your family during a portion of the night and follow behind them and let not anyone among you look back and continue on to where you are commanded.” (Quran 15:65)

And We conveyed to him [the decree] of that matter: that those [sinners] would be eliminated by early morning. (Quran 15:66)

And the people of the city came rejoicing. (Quran 15:67)

[Lot] said, “Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me. (Quran 15:68)

And fear Allah and do not disgrace me.” (Quran 15:69)

They said, “Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?” (Quran 15:70)

[Lot] said, “These are my daughters – if you would be doers [of lawful marriage].” (Quran 15:71)

By your life, [O Muhammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly. (Quran 15:72)

So the shriek seized them at sunrise. (Quran 15:73)

And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay. (Quran 15:74)

Indeed in that are signs for those who discern. (Quran 15:75)

And indeed, those cities are [situated] on an established road. (Quran 15:76)

Indeed in that is a sign for the believers. (Quran 15:77)

And the companions of the thicket were [also] wrongdoers. (Quran 15:78)

So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway. (Quran 15:79)

And certainly did the companions of Thamud deny the messengers. (Quran 15:80)

And We gave them Our signs, but from them they were turning away. (Quran 15:81)

And they used to carve from the mountains, houses, feeling secure. (Quran 15:82)

But the shriek seized them at early morning. (Quran 15:83)

So nothing availed them [from] what they used to earn. (Quran 15:84)

And We have not created the heavens and earth and that between them except in truth. And indeed, the Hour is coming; so forgive with gracious forgiveness. (Quran 15:85)

Indeed, your Lord – He is the Knowing Creator. (Quran 15:86)

And We have certainly given you, [O Muhammad], seven of the often repeated [verses] and the great Qur’an. (Quran 15:87)

Do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [certain] categories of the disbelievers, and do not grieve over them. And lower your wing to the believers (Quran 15:88)

And say, “Indeed, I am the clear warner” – (Quran 15:89)

Just as We had revealed [scriptures] to the separators (Quran 15:90)

Who have made the Qur’an into portions. (Quran 15:91)

So by your Lord, We will surely question them all (Quran 15:92)

About what they used to do. (Quran 15:93)

Then declare what you are commanded and turn away from the polytheists. (Quran 15:94)

Indeed, We are sufficient for you against the mockers (Quran 15:95)

Who make [equal] with Allah another deity. But they are going to know. (Quran 15:96)

And We already know that your breast is constrained by what they say. (Quran 15:97)

So exalt [ Allah ] with praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate [to Him]. (Quran 15:98)

And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty (death). (Quran 15:99)
