بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

68:1

نٓ وَٱلْقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسْطُرُونَ۝١

Nūn. By the pen and what they inscribe,

68:2

مَآ أَنتَ بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجْنُونٍ۝٢

You are not, [O Muḥammad], by the favor of your Lord, a madman.

68:3

وَإِنَّ لَكَ لَأَجْرًا غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍ۝٣

And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted.

68:4

وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ۝٤

And indeed, you are of a great moral character.

68:5

فَسَتُبْصِرُ وَيُبْصِرُونَ۝٥

So you will see and they will see

68:6

بِأَييِّكُمُ ٱلْمَفْتُونُ۝٦

Which of you is the afflicted [by a devil].

68:7

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ۝٧

Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has gone astray from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.

68:8

فَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ۝٨

Then do not obey the deniers.

68:9

وَدُّوا۟ لَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ۝٩

They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you].

68:10

وَلَا تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلَّافٍ مَّهِينٍ۝١٠

And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer

68:11

هَمَّازٍ مَّشَّآءٍۭ بِنَمِيمٍ۝١١

[And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -

68:12

مَّنَّاعٍ لِّلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ۝١٢

A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful,

68:13

عُتُلٍّۭ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ زَنِيمٍ۝١٣

Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender.

68:14

أَن كَانَ ذَا مَالٍ وَبَنِينَ۝١٤

Because he is a possessor of wealth and children,

68:15

إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ۝١٥

When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."

68:16

سَنَسِمُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلْخُرْطُومِ۝١٦

We will brand him upon the snout.

68:17

إِنَّا بَلَوْنَٰهُمْ كَمَا بَلَوْنَآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ إِذْ أَقْسَمُوا۟ لَيَصْرِمُنَّهَا مُصْبِحِينَ۝١٧

Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morning

68:18

وَلَا يَسْتَثْنُونَ۝١٨

Without making exception.

68:19

فَطَافَ عَلَيْهَا طَآئِفٌ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَهُمْ نَآئِمُونَ۝١٩

So there came upon it [i.e., the garden] an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep.

68:20

فَأَصْبَحَتْ كَٱلصَّرِيمِ۝٢٠

And it became as though reaped.

68:21

فَتَنَادَوْا۟ مُصْبِحِينَ۝٢١

And they called one another at morning,

68:22

أَنِ ٱغْدُوا۟ عَلَىٰ حَرْثِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰرِمِينَ۝٢٢

[Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit."

68:23

فَٱنطَلَقُوا۟ وَهُمْ يَتَخَٰفَتُونَ۝٢٣

So they set out, while lowering their voices,

68:24

أَن لَّا يَدْخُلَنَّهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكُم مِّسْكِينٌ۝٢٤

[Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person."

68:25

وَغَدَوْا۟ عَلَىٰ حَرْدٍ قَٰدِرِينَ۝٢٥

And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able.

68:26

فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهَا قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا لَضَآلُّونَ۝٢٦

But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost;

68:27

بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ۝٢٧

Rather, we have been deprived."

68:28

قَالَ أَوْسَطُهُمْ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ لَوْلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ۝٢٨

The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allāh]?'"

68:29

قَالُوا۟ سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ۝٢٩

They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

68:30

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَلَٰوَمُونَ۝٣٠

Then they approached one another, blaming each other.

68:31

قَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا طَٰغِينَ۝٣١

They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors.

68:32

عَسَىٰ رَبُّنَآ أَن يُبْدِلَنَا خَيْرًا مِّنْهَآ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا رَٰغِبُونَ۝٣٢

Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."

68:33

كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْعَذَابُ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ۝٣٣

Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.

68:34

إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ۝٣٤

Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure.

68:35

أَفَنَجْعَلُ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ كَٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ۝٣٥

Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals?

68:36

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ۝٣٦

What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge?

68:37

أَمْ لَكُمْ كِتَٰبٌ فِيهِ تَدْرُسُونَ۝٣٧

Or do you have a scripture in which you learn

68:38

إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِيهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ۝٣٨

That indeed for you is whatever you choose?

68:39

أَمْ لَكُمْ أَيْمَٰنٌ عَلَيْنَا بَٰلِغَةٌ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ إِنَّ لَكُمْ لَمَا تَحْكُمُونَ۝٣٩

Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge?

68:40

سَلْهُمْ أَيُّهُم بِذَٰلِكَ زَعِيمٌ۝٤٠

Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible.

68:41

أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَآءُ فَلْيَأْتُوا۟ بِشُرَكَآئِهِمْ إِن كَانُوا۟ صَٰدِقِينَ۝٤١

Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful.

68:42

يَوْمَ يُكْشَفُ عَن سَاقٍ وَيُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ۝٤٢

The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but they [i.e., the disbelievers] will not be able,

68:43

خَٰشِعَةً أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ وَقَدْ كَانُوا۟ يُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ وَهُمْ سَٰلِمُونَ۝٤٣

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.

68:44

فَذَرْنِى وَمَن يُكَذِّبُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ۝٤٤

So leave Me, [O Muḥammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies this statement [i.e., the Qur’ān]. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.

68:45

وَأُمْلِى لَهُمْ إِنَّ كَيْدِى مَتِينٌ۝٤٥

And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.

68:46

أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ أَجْرًا فَهُم مِّن مَّغْرَمٍ مُّثْقَلُونَ۝٤٦

Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?

68:47

أَمْ عِندَهُمُ ٱلْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ۝٤٧

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?

68:48

فَٱصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُن كَصَاحِبِ ٱلْحُوتِ إِذْ نَادَىٰ وَهُوَ مَكْظُومٌ۝٤٨

Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muḥammad], and be not like the companion of the fish [i.e., Jonah] when he called out while he was distressed.

68:49

لَّوْلَآ أَن تَدَٰرَكَهُۥ نِعْمَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ لَنُبِذَ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ مَذْمُومٌ۝٤٩

If not that a favor [i.e., mercy] from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.

68:50

فَٱجْتَبَٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَجَعَلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ۝٥٠

And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.

68:51

وَإِن يَكَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَٰرِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا۟ ٱلذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُۥ لَمَجْنُونٌ۝٥١

And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes [i.e., looks] when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad."

68:52

وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ۝٥٢

But it is not except a reminder to the worlds.
