قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ

Qaala famaa khatbukum ayyuhal mursaloon

[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

قَالُوا إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ

Qaalooo innaaa ursilnaaa ilaa qawmim mujrimeen

They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals

لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن طِينٍ

Linursila 'alaihim hijaa ratam min teen

To send down upon them stones of clay,

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ

Musawwamatan 'inda rabbika lilmusrifeen

Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."

فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Fa akhrajnaa man kaana feehaa minal mu'mineen

So We brought out whoever was in the cities of the believers.

فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِّنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

Famaa wajadnaa feehaa ghaira baitim minal muslimeen

And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.

وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَا آيَةً لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ

Wa taraknaa feehaaa aayatal lillazeena yakhaafoonal 'azaabal aleem

And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

وَفِي مُوسَىٰ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ

Wa fee Moosaaa iz arsalnaahu ilaa Fir'wna bisultaa nim mubeen

And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِ وَقَالَ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ

Fatawalla biruknihee wa qaala saahirun aw majnoon

But he turned away with his supporters and said," A magician or a madman."

فَأَخَذْنَاهُ وَجُنُودَهُ فَنَبَذْنَاهُمْ فِي الْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ

Fa akhaznaahu wa junoo dahoo fanabaznaahum fil yammi wa huwa muleem

So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.

وَفِي عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الرِّيحَ الْعَقِيمَ

Wa fee 'Aadin iz arsalnaa 'alaihimur reehal'aqeem

And in 'Aad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren wind.

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَيْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيمِ

Maa tazaru min shai'in atat 'alaihi illaa ja'alat hu karrameem

It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruins.

وَفِي ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

Wa fee Samooda iz qeela lahum tamatta''oo hattaa heen

And in Thamud, when it was said to them, "Enjoy yourselves for a time."

فَعَتَوْا عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّاعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ

Fa'ataw 'an amri Rabbihim fa akhazal humus saa'iqatu wa hum yanzuroon

But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.

فَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوا مِن قِيَامٍ وَمَا كَانُوا مُنتَصِرِينَ

Famas tataa'oo min qiyaaminw wa maa kaanoo muntasireen

And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves.

وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمًا فَاسِقِينَ

Wa qawma Noohim min qablu innahum kaano qawman faasiqeen

And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient.

وَالسَّمَاءَ بَنَيْنَاهَا بِأَيْدٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ

Wassamaaa'a banainaa haa bi aydinw wa innaa lamoosi'oon

And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.

وَالْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَاهَا فَنِعْمَ الْمَاهِدُونَ

Wal arda farashnaahaa fani'mal maahidoon

And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer.

وَمِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

Wa min kulli shai'in khalaqnaa zawjaini la'allakum tazakkaroon

And of all things We created two mates; perhaps you will remember.

فَفِرُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

Fafirrooo ilal laahi innee lakum minhu nazeerum mubeen

So flee to Allah. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ ۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

Wa laa taj'aloo ma'al laahi ilaahan aakhara innee lakum minhu nazeerum mubeen

And do not make [as equal] with Allah another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.
