٢١:١

ٱقْتَرَبَ (Has) approached لِلنَّاسِ for [the] mankind حِسَابُهُمْ their account وَهُمْ while they فِى (are) in غَفْلَةٍۢ heedlessness مُّعْرِضُونَ turning away ١ (1)

[The time of] their account has approached for the people, while they are in heedlessness turning away.

٢١:٢

مَا Not يَأْتِيهِم comes to them مِّن of ذِكْرٍۢ a Reminder مِّن from رَّبِّهِم their Lord مُّحْدَثٍ anew إِلَّا except ٱسْتَمَعُوهُ they listen to it وَهُمْ while they يَلْعَبُونَ (are at) play ٢ (2)

No mention [i.e., revelation] comes to them anew from their Lord except that they listen to it while they are at play

٢١:٣

لَاهِيَةًۭ Distracted قُلُوبُهُمْ ۗ their hearts وَأَسَرُّوا۟ And they conceal ٱلنَّجْوَى the private conversation ٱلَّذِينَ those who ظَلَمُوا۟ [they] wronged هَلْ Is هَـٰذَآ this إِلَّا except بَشَرٌۭ a human being مِّثْلُكُمْ ۖ like you أَفَتَأْتُونَ So would you approach ٱلسِّحْرَ the magic وَأَنتُمْ while you تُبْصِرُونَ see (it) ٣ (3)

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]?"

٢١:٤

قَالَ He said رَبِّى My Lord يَعْلَمُ knows ٱلْقَوْلَ the word فِى in ٱلسَّمَآءِ the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ and the earth وَهُوَ And He ٱلسَّمِيعُ (is) the All-Hearer ٱلْعَلِيمُ the All-Knower ٤ (4)

He [the Prophet (ﷺ)] said, "My Lord knows whatever is said throughout the heaven and earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing."

٢١:٥

بَلْ Nay قَالُوٓا۟ they say أَضْغَـٰثُ Muddled أَحْلَـٰمٍۭ dreams بَلِ nay ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ he (has) invented it بَلْ nay هُوَ he شَاعِرٌۭ (is) a poet فَلْيَأْتِنَا So let him bring us بِـَٔايَةٍۢ a sign كَمَآ like what أُرْسِلَ was sent ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ (to) the former ٥ (5)

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]."

٢١:٦

مَآ Not ءَامَنَتْ believed قَبْلَهُم before them مِّن any قَرْيَةٍ town أَهْلَكْنَـٰهَآ ۖ which We destroyed أَفَهُمْ so will they يُؤْمِنُونَ believe ٦ (6)

Not a [single] city which We destroyed believed before them, so will they believe?

٢١:٧

وَمَآ And not أَرْسَلْنَا We sent قَبْلَكَ before you إِلَّا except رِجَالًۭا men نُّوحِىٓ We revealed إِلَيْهِمْ ۖ to them فَسْـَٔلُوٓا۟ So ask أَهْلَ (the) people ٱلذِّكْرِ (of) the Reminder إِن if كُنتُمْ you لَا (do) not تَعْلَمُونَ know ٧ (7)

And We sent not before you, [O Muḥammad], except men to whom We revealed [the message], so ask the people of the message [i.e., former scriptures] if you do not know.

٢١:٨

وَمَا And not جَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ We made them جَسَدًۭا bodies لَّا not يَأْكُلُونَ eating ٱلطَّعَامَ the food وَمَا and not كَانُوا۟ they were خَـٰلِدِينَ immortals ٨ (8)

And We did not make them [i.e., the prophets] forms not eating food, nor were they immortal [on earth].

٢١:٩

ثُمَّ Then صَدَقْنَـٰهُمُ We fulfilled (for) them ٱلْوَعْدَ the promise فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُمْ and We saved them وَمَن and whom نَّشَآءُ We willed وَأَهْلَكْنَا and We destroyed ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ the transgressors ٩ (9)

Then We fulfilled for them the promise, and We saved them and whom We willed and destroyed the transgressors.

٢١:١٠

لَقَدْ Indeed أَنزَلْنَآ We (have) sent down إِلَيْكُمْ to you كِتَـٰبًۭا a Book فِيهِ in it ذِكْرُكُمْ ۖ (is) your mention أَفَلَا Then will not تَعْقِلُونَ you use reason ١٠ (10)

We have certainly sent down to you a Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] in which is your mention. Then will you not reason?

٢١:١١

وَكَمْ And how many قَصَمْنَا We (have) shattered مِن of قَرْيَةٍۢ a town كَانَتْ (that) was ظَالِمَةًۭ unjust وَأَنشَأْنَا and We produced بَعْدَهَا after them قَوْمًا another people ءَاخَرِينَ another people ١١ (11)

And how many a city which was unjust have We shattered and produced after it another people.

٢١:١٢

فَلَمَّآ Then when أَحَسُّوا۟ they perceived بَأْسَنَآ Our torment إِذَا behold هُم they مِّنْهَا from it يَرْكُضُونَ were fleeing ١٢ (12)

And when they [i.e., its inhabitants] perceived Our punishment, at once they fled from it.

٢١:١٣

لَا Flee not تَرْكُضُوا۟ Flee not وَٱرْجِعُوٓا۟ but return إِلَىٰ to مَآ what أُتْرِفْتُمْ you were given luxury فِيهِ in it وَمَسَـٰكِنِكُمْ and to your homes لَعَلَّكُمْ so that you may تُسْـَٔلُونَ be questioned ١٣ (13)

[Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes - perhaps you will be questioned."1

٢١:١٤

قَالُوا۟ They said يَـٰوَيْلَنَآ O woe to us إِنَّا Indeed, [we] كُنَّا we were ظَـٰلِمِينَ wrongdoers ١٤ (14)

They said, "O woe to us! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

٢١:١٥

فَمَا Then not زَالَت ceased تِّلْكَ [this] دَعْوَىٰهُمْ their cry حَتَّىٰ until جَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ We made them حَصِيدًا reaped خَـٰمِدِينَ extinct ١٥ (15)

And that declaration of theirs did not cease until We made them [as] a harvest [mowed down], extinguished [like a fire].

٢١:١٦

وَمَا And not خَلَقْنَا We created ٱلسَّمَآءَ the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضَ and the earth وَمَا and what بَيْنَهُمَا (is) between them لَـٰعِبِينَ (for) playing ١٦ (16)

And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play.

٢١:١٧

لَوْ If أَرَدْنَآ We intended أَن that نَّتَّخِذَ We take لَهْوًۭا a pastime لَّٱتَّخَذْنَـٰهُ surely We (could have) taken it مِن from لَّدُنَّآ Us إِن if كُنَّا We were فَـٰعِلِينَ doers ١٧ (17)

Had We intended to take a diversion, We could have taken it from [what is] with Us - if [indeed] We were to do so.

٢١:١٨

بَلْ Nay نَقْذِفُ We hurl بِٱلْحَقِّ the truth عَلَى against ٱلْبَـٰطِلِ [the] falsehood فَيَدْمَغُهُۥ and it breaks its head فَإِذَا behold هُوَ it (is) زَاهِقٌۭ ۚ vanishing وَلَكُمُ And for you ٱلْوَيْلُ (is) destruction مِمَّا for what تَصِفُونَ you ascribe ١٨ (18)

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.

٢١:١٩

وَلَهُۥ And to Him (belongs) مَن whoever فِى (is) in ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ and the earth وَمَنْ And (those) who عِندَهُۥ (are) near Him لَا not يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ they are arrogant عَنْ to عِبَادَتِهِۦ worship Him وَلَا and not يَسْتَحْسِرُونَ they tire ١٩ (19)

To Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those near Him [i.e., the angels] are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, nor do they tire.

٢١:٢٠

يُسَبِّحُونَ They glorify (Him) ٱلَّيْلَ [the] night وَٱلنَّهَارَ and [the] day لَا not يَفْتُرُونَ they slacken ٢٠ (20)

They exalt [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken.

٢١:٢١

أَمِ Or ٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ (have) they taken ءَالِهَةًۭ gods مِّنَ from ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth هُمْ they يُنشِرُونَ raise (the dead) ٢١ (21)

Or have they [i.e., men] taken for themselves gods from the earth who resurrect [the dead]?

٢١:٢٢

لَوْ If كَانَ (there) were فِيهِمَآ in both of them ءَالِهَةٌ gods إِلَّا besides ٱللَّهُ Allah لَفَسَدَتَا ۚ surely they (would) have been ruined فَسُبْحَـٰنَ So glorified ٱللَّهِ (is) Allah رَبِّ Lord ٱلْعَرْشِ (of) the Throne عَمَّا (above) what يَصِفُونَ they attribute ٢٢ (22)

Had there been within them [i.e., the heavens and earth] gods besides Allāh, they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allāh, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.

٢١:٢٣

لَا Not يُسْـَٔلُ He (can) be questioned عَمَّا about what يَفْعَلُ He does وَهُمْ but they يُسْـَٔلُونَ will be questioned ٢٣ (23)

He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.

٢١:٢٤

أَمِ Or ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ (have) they taken مِن besides Him دُونِهِۦٓ besides Him ءَالِهَةًۭ ۖ gods قُلْ Say هَاتُوا۟ Bring بُرْهَـٰنَكُمْ ۖ your proof هَـٰذَا This ذِكْرُ (is) a Reminder مَن (for those) who مَّعِىَ (are) with me وَذِكْرُ and a Reminder مَن (for those) who قَبْلِى ۗ (were) before me بَلْ But أَكْثَرُهُمْ most of them لَا (do) not يَعْلَمُونَ know ٱلْحَقَّ ۖ the truth فَهُم so they مُّعْرِضُونَ (are) averse ٢٤ (24)

Or have they taken gods besides Him? Say, [O Muḥammad], "Produce your proof. This [Qur’ān] is the message for those with me and the message of those before me."1 But most of them do not know the truth, so they are turning away.

٢١:٢٥

وَمَآ And not أَرْسَلْنَا We sent مِن before you قَبْلِكَ before you مِن any رَّسُولٍ Messenger إِلَّا but نُوحِىٓ We reveal(ed) إِلَيْهِ to him أَنَّهُۥ that [He] لَآ (There is) no إِلَـٰهَ god إِلَّآ except أَنَا۠ Me فَٱعْبُدُونِ so worship Me ٢٥ (25)

And We sent not before you any messenger except We revealed to him that, "There is no deity except Me, so worship Me."

٢١:٢٦

وَقَالُوا۟ And they say ٱتَّخَذَ Has taken ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ the Most Gracious وَلَدًۭا ۗ a son سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ ۚ Glorified is He بَلْ Nay عِبَادٌۭ (they are) slaves مُّكْرَمُونَ honored ٢٦ (26)

And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken a son." Exalted is He! Rather, they are [but] honored servants.

٢١:٢٧

لَا Not يَسْبِقُونَهُۥ they (can) precede Him بِٱلْقَوْلِ in word وَهُم and they بِأَمْرِهِۦ by His command يَعْمَلُونَ act ٢٧ (27)

They cannot precede Him in word, and they act by His command.

٢١:٢٨

يَعْلَمُ He knows مَا what بَيْنَ (is) before them أَيْدِيهِمْ (is) before them وَمَا and what خَلْفَهُمْ (is) behind them وَلَا and not يَشْفَعُونَ they (can) intercede إِلَّا except لِمَنِ for whom ٱرْتَضَىٰ He approves وَهُم And they مِّنْ from خَشْيَتِهِۦ fear of Him مُشْفِقُونَ stand in awe ٢٨ (28)

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.

٢١:٢٩

۞ وَمَن And whoever يَقُلْ says مِنْهُمْ of them إِنِّىٓ Indeed, I am إِلَـٰهٌۭ a god مِّن besides Him دُونِهِۦ besides Him فَذَٰلِكَ Then that نَجْزِيهِ We will recompense جَهَنَّمَ ۚ (with) Hell كَذَٰلِكَ Thus نَجْزِى We recompense ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ the wrongdoers ٢٩ (29)

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.

٢١:٣٠

أَوَلَمْ Do not يَرَ see ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوٓا۟ disbelieved أَنَّ that ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضَ and the earth كَانَتَا were رَتْقًۭا a joined entity فَفَتَقْنَـٰهُمَا ۖ then We parted them وَجَعَلْنَا and We made مِنَ from ٱلْمَآءِ [the] water كُلَّ every شَىْءٍ living thing حَىٍّ ۖ living thing أَفَلَا Then will not يُؤْمِنُونَ they believe ٣٠ (30)

Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and then We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?

٢١:٣١

وَجَعَلْنَا And We (have) placed فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth رَوَٰسِىَ firmly set mountains أَن lest تَمِيدَ it (should) shake بِهِمْ with them وَجَعَلْنَا and We made فِيهَا therein فِجَاجًۭا broad passes سُبُلًۭا (as) ways لَّعَلَّهُمْ so that they may يَهْتَدُونَ (be) guided ٣١ (31)

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.

٢١:٣٢

وَجَعَلْنَا And We made ٱلسَّمَآءَ the sky سَقْفًۭا a roof مَّحْفُوظًۭا ۖ protected وَهُمْ But they عَنْ from ءَايَـٰتِهَا its Signs مُعْرِضُونَ turn away ٣٢ (32)

And We made the sky a protected ceiling, but they, from its signs, are turning away.

٢١:٣٣

وَهُوَ And He ٱلَّذِى (is) the One Who خَلَقَ created ٱلَّيْلَ the night وَٱلنَّهَارَ and the day وَٱلشَّمْسَ and the sun وَٱلْقَمَرَ ۖ and the moon كُلٌّۭ each فِى in فَلَكٍۢ an orbit يَسْبَحُونَ floating ٣٣ (33)

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.

٢١:٣٤

وَمَا And not جَعَلْنَا We made لِبَشَرٍۢ for any man مِّن before you قَبْلِكَ before you ٱلْخُلْدَ ۖ [the] immortality أَفَإِي۟ن so if مِّتَّ you die فَهُمُ then (would) they ٱلْخَـٰلِدُونَ live forever ٣٤ (34)

And We did not grant to any man before you eternity [on earth]; so if you die - would they be eternal?

٢١:٣٥

كُلُّ Every نَفْسٍۢ soul ذَآئِقَةُ (will) taste ٱلْمَوْتِ ۗ [the] death وَنَبْلُوكُم And We test you بِٱلشَّرِّ with [the] bad وَٱلْخَيْرِ and [the] good فِتْنَةًۭ ۖ (as) a trial وَإِلَيْنَا and to Us تُرْجَعُونَ you will be returned ٣٥ (35)

Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned.

٢١:٣٦

وَإِذَا And when رَءَاكَ they see you ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوٓا۟ disbelieve إِن not يَتَّخِذُونَكَ they take you إِلَّا except هُزُوًا (in) ridicule أَهَـٰذَا Is this ٱلَّذِى the one who يَذْكُرُ mentions ءَالِهَتَكُمْ your gods وَهُم And they بِذِكْرِ at (the) mention ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ (of) the Most Gracious هُمْ [they] كَـٰفِرُونَ (are) disbelievers ٣٦ (36)

And when those who disbelieve see you, [O Muḥammad], they take you not except in ridicule, [saying], "Is this the one who mentions [i.e., insults] your gods?" And they are, at the mention of the Most Merciful, disbelievers.

٢١:٣٧

خُلِقَ Is created ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ the man مِنْ of عَجَلٍۢ ۚ haste سَأُو۟رِيكُمْ I will show you ءَايَـٰتِى My Signs فَلَا so (do) not تَسْتَعْجِلُونِ ask Me to hasten ٣٧ (37)

Man was created of haste [i.e., impatience]. I will show you My signs [i.e., vengeance], so do not impatiently urge Me.

٢١:٣٨

وَيَقُولُونَ And they say مَتَىٰ When (will be fulfilled) هَـٰذَا this ٱلْوَعْدُ promise إِن if كُنتُمْ you are صَـٰدِقِينَ truthful ٣٨ (38)

And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"

٢١:٣٩

لَوْ If يَعْلَمُ knew ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved حِينَ (the) time لَا (when) not يَكُفُّونَ they will avert عَن from وُجُوهِهِمُ their faces ٱلنَّارَ the Fire وَلَا and not عَن from ظُهُورِهِمْ their backs وَلَا and not هُمْ they يُنصَرُونَ will be helped ٣٩ (39)

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...

٢١:٤٠

بَلْ Nay تَأْتِيهِم it will come to them بَغْتَةًۭ unexpectedly فَتَبْهَتُهُمْ and bewilder them فَلَا then not يَسْتَطِيعُونَ they will be able رَدَّهَا to repel it وَلَا and not هُمْ they يُنظَرُونَ will be given respite ٤٠ (40)

Rather, it will come to them unexpectedly and bewilder them, and they will not be able to repel it, nor will they be reprieved.

٢١:٤١

وَلَقَدِ And verily ٱسْتُهْزِئَ were mocked بِرُسُلٍۢ Messengers مِّن before you قَبْلِكَ before you فَحَاقَ then surrounded بِٱلَّذِينَ those who سَخِرُوا۟ mocked مِنْهُم from them مَّا what كَانُوا۟ they used بِهِۦ at it يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ (to) mock ٤١ (41)

And already were messengers ridiculed before you, but those who mocked them were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

٢١:٤٢

قُلْ Say مَن Who يَكْلَؤُكُم (can) protect you بِٱلَّيْلِ in the night وَٱلنَّهَارِ and the day مِنَ from ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۗ the Most Gracious بَلْ Yet هُمْ they عَن from ذِكْرِ (the) remembrance رَبِّهِم (of) their Lord مُّعْرِضُونَ turn away ٤٢ (42)

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.

٢١:٤٣

أَمْ Or لَهُمْ have they ءَالِهَةٌۭ gods تَمْنَعُهُم (to) defend them مِّن from دُونِنَا ۚ Us لَا Not يَسْتَطِيعُونَ they are able نَصْرَ (to) help أَنفُسِهِمْ themselves وَلَا and not هُم they مِّنَّا from Us يُصْحَبُونَ can be protected ٤٣ (43)

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.

٢١:٤٤

بَلْ Nay مَتَّعْنَا We gave provision هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ (to) these وَءَابَآءَهُمْ and their fathers حَتَّىٰ until طَالَ grew long عَلَيْهِمُ for them ٱلْعُمُرُ ۗ the life أَفَلَا Then do not يَرَوْنَ they see أَنَّا that We نَأْتِى We come ٱلْأَرْضَ (to) the land نَنقُصُهَا We reduce it مِنْ from أَطْرَافِهَآ ۚ its borders أَفَهُمُ So is (it) they ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ (who will be) overcoming ٤٤ (44)

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? Is it they who will overcome?

٢١:٤٥

قُلْ Say إِنَّمَآ Only أُنذِرُكُم I warn you بِٱلْوَحْىِ ۚ by the revelation وَلَا But not يَسْمَعُ hear ٱلصُّمُّ the deaf ٱلدُّعَآءَ the call إِذَا when مَا when يُنذَرُونَ they are warned ٤٥ (45)

Say, "I only warn you by revelation." But the deaf do not hear the call when they are warned.

٢١:٤٦

وَلَئِن And if مَّسَّتْهُمْ touches them نَفْحَةٌۭ a whiff مِّنْ of عَذَابِ (the) punishment رَبِّكَ (of) your Lord لَيَقُولُنَّ surely they will say يَـٰوَيْلَنَآ O woe to us إِنَّا Indeed, we كُنَّا [we] were ظَـٰلِمِينَ wrongdoers ٤٦ (46)

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."

٢١:٤٧

وَنَضَعُ And We set ٱلْمَوَٰزِينَ the scales ٱلْقِسْطَ (of) the justice لِيَوْمِ for (the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection فَلَا so not تُظْلَمُ will be wronged نَفْسٌۭ any soul شَيْـًۭٔا ۖ (in) anything وَإِن And if كَانَ (there) be مِثْقَالَ weight حَبَّةٍۢ (of) a seed مِّنْ of خَرْدَلٍ a mustard أَتَيْنَا We will bring بِهَا ۗ [with] it وَكَفَىٰ And sufficient بِنَا (are) We حَـٰسِبِينَ (as) Reckoners ٤٧ (47)

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.

٢١:٤٨

وَلَقَدْ And verily ءَاتَيْنَا We gave مُوسَىٰ Musa وَهَـٰرُونَ and Harun ٱلْفُرْقَانَ the Criterion وَضِيَآءًۭ and a light وَذِكْرًۭا and a Reminder لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ for the righteous ٤٨ (48)

And We had already given Moses and Aaron the criterion and a light and a reminder for the righteous

٢١:٤٩

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who يَخْشَوْنَ fear رَبَّهُم their Lord بِٱلْغَيْبِ in the unseen وَهُم and they مِّنَ of ٱلسَّاعَةِ the Hour مُشْفِقُونَ (are) afraid ٤٩ (49)

Who fear their Lord unseen, while they are of the Hour apprehensive.

٢١:٥٠

وَهَـٰذَا And this ذِكْرٌۭ (is) a Reminder مُّبَارَكٌ blessed أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ ۚ which We (have) revealed أَفَأَنتُمْ Then are you لَهُۥ of it مُنكِرُونَ rejecters ٥٠ (50)

And this [Qur’ān] is a blessed message which We have sent down. Then are you with it unacquainted?

٢١:٥١

۞ وَلَقَدْ And verily ءَاتَيْنَآ We gave إِبْرَٰهِيمَ Ibrahim رُشْدَهُۥ his guidance مِن before قَبْلُ before وَكُنَّا and We were بِهِۦ about him عَـٰلِمِينَ Well-Knowing ٥١ (51)

And We had certainly given Abraham his sound judgement before, and We were of him well-Knowing

٢١:٥٢

إِذْ When قَالَ he said لِأَبِيهِ to his father وَقَوْمِهِۦ and his people مَا What هَـٰذِهِ (are) these ٱلتَّمَاثِيلُ [the] statues ٱلَّتِىٓ which أَنتُمْ you لَهَا to it عَـٰكِفُونَ (are) devoted ٥٢ (52)

When he said to his father and his people, "What are these statues to which you are devoted?"

٢١:٥٣

قَالُوا۟ They said وَجَدْنَآ We found ءَابَآءَنَا our forefathers لَهَا of them عَـٰبِدِينَ worshippers ٥٣ (53)

They said, "We found our fathers worshippers of them."

٢١:٥٤

قَالَ He said لَقَدْ Verily كُنتُمْ you are أَنتُمْ [you] وَءَابَآؤُكُمْ and your forefathers فِى (were) in ضَلَـٰلٍۢ an error مُّبِينٍۢ manifest ٥٤ (54)

He said, "You were certainly, you and your fathers, in manifest error."

٢١:٥٥

قَالُوٓا۟ They said أَجِئْتَنَا Have you come to us بِٱلْحَقِّ with the truth أَمْ or أَنتَ you مِنَ (are) of ٱللَّـٰعِبِينَ those who play ٥٥ (55)

قَـٰلَ He said رَبِّ My Lord ٱحْكُم judge بِٱلْحَقِّ ۗ in truth وَرَبُّنَا And our Lord ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ (is) the Most Gracious ٱلْمُسْتَعَانُ the One Whose help is sought عَلَىٰ against مَا what تَصِفُونَ you attribute ١١٢ (112)

[The Prophet (ﷺ)] 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."1
