   الٓر ۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَقُرْءَانٍ مُّبِينٍ

   Alif-Laaam-Raa; tilka Aayaatul Kitaabi wa Qur-aa-nim Mubeen

   Alif-Lãm-Ra. These are the verses of the Book; the clear Quran.

2. 15:2

   رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ مُسْلِمِينَ

   Rubamaa yawaddul lazeena kafaroo law kaanoo muslimeen

   ˹The day will come when˺ the disbelievers will certainly wish they had submitted ˹to Allah˺.

3. 15:3

   ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا۟ وَيَتَمَتَّعُوا۟ وَيُلْهِهِمُ ٱلْأَمَلُ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

   Zarhum yaakuloo wa tatamatta'oo wa yulhihimul amalu fasawfa ya'lamoon

   ˹So˺ let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by ˹false˺ hope, for they will soon know.

4. 15:4

   وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَّعْلُومٌ

   Wa maaa ahlaknaa min qaryatin illaa wa lahaa kitaabum ma'loom

   We have never destroyed a society without a destined term.

5. 15:5

   مَّا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ

   Maa tasbiqu min ummatin ajalahaa wa maa yastaakhiroon

   No people can advance their doom, nor can they delay it.

6. 15:6

   وَقَالُوا۟ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِى نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ

   Wa qaaloo yaaa aiyuhal lazee nuzzila 'alaihiz Zikru innaka lamajnoon

   They say, “O you to whom the Reminder is revealed! You must be insane!

7. 15:7

   لَّوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

   Law maa taateenaa bil malaaa'ikati in kunta minas saadiqeen

   Why do you not bring us the angels, if what you say is true?”

8. 15:8

   مَا نُنَزِّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوٓا۟ إِذًا مُّنظَرِينَ

   Maa nunazzilul malaaa'i kata illaa bilhaqqi wa maa kaanooo izam munzareen

   We do not send the angels down except for a just cause, and then ˹the end of˺ the disbelievers will not be delayed.

9. 15:9

   إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَـٰفِظُونَ

   Innaa Nahnu nazalnaz Zikra wa Innaa lahoo lahaa fizoon

   It is certainly We Who have revealed the Reminder, and it is certainly We Who will preserve it.

10. 15:10

    وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِى شِيَعِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

    Wa laqad arsalnaa min qablika fee shiya'il awwaleen

    Indeed, We sent messengers before you ˹O Prophet˺ among the groups of early peoples

11. 15:11

    وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

    Wa maa yaateehim mir Rasoolin illaa kaanoo bihee yastahzi'oon

    but no messenger ever came to them without being mocked.

12. 15:12

    كَذَٰلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُۥ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

    kazaalika naslukuhoo fee quloobil mujrimeen

    This is how We allow disbelief ˹to steep˺ into the hearts of the wicked.

13. 15:13

    لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ ۖ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

    Laa yu'minoona bihee wa qad khalat sunnatul awwaleen

    They would not believe in this ˹Quran˺ despite the ˹many˺ examples of those ˹destroyed˺ before.

14. 15:14

    وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّوا۟ فِيهِ يَعْرُجُونَ

    Wa law fatahnaa 'alaihim baabam minas samaaa'i fazaloo feehi ya'rujoon

    And even if We opened for them a gate to heaven, through which they continued to ascend

15. 15:15

    لَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَـٰرُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَّسْحُورُونَ

    Laqaaloo innamaa sukkirat absaarunaa bal nahnu qawmum mashooroon

    still they would say, “Our eyes have truly been dazzled! In fact, we must have been bewitched.”

16. 15:16

    وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجًا وَزَيَّنَّـٰهَا لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ

    Wa laqad ja'alnaa fissamaaa'i buroojanw wa zaiyannaahaa linnaazireen

    Indeed, We have placed constellations in the sky, and adorned it for all to see.

17. 15:17

    وَحَفِظْنَـٰهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْطَـٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ

    Wa hafiznaahaa min kulli Shaitaanir rajeem

    And We protected it from every accursed devil

18. 15:18

    إِلَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَرَقَ ٱلسَّمْعَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ مُّبِينٌ

    Illaa manis taraqas sam'a fa atba'ahoo shihaabum mubeen

    except the one eavesdropping, who is then pursued by a visible flare.

19. 15:19

    وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَـٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مَّوْزُونٍ

    Wal arda madadnaahaa wa alqainaa feehaa rawaasiya wa ambatnaa feehaa min kulli shai'im mawzoon

    As for the earth, We spread it out and placed upon it firm mountains, and caused everything to grow there in perfect balance.

20. 15:20

    وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَـٰيِشَ وَمَن لَّسْتُمْ لَهُۥ بِرَٰزِقِينَ

    Wa ja'alnaa lakum feehaa ma'aayisha wa mal lastum lahoo biraaziqeen

    And We made in it means of sustenance for you and others, who you do not provide for.

21. 15:21

    وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا عِندَنَا خَزَآئِنُهُۥ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

    Wa im min shai'in illaa 'indanaa khazaaa 'inuhoo wa maa nunazziluhooo illaa biqadarim ma'loom

    There is not any means ˹of sustenance˺ whose reserves We do not hold, only bringing it forth in precise measure.

22. 15:22

    وَأَرْسَلْنَا ٱلرِّيَـٰحَ لَوَٰقِحَ فَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَسْقَيْنَـٰكُمُوهُ وَمَآ أَنتُمْ لَهُۥ بِخَـٰزِنِينَ

    Wa arsalnar riyaaha la waaqiha fa anzalnaa minas samaaa'i maaa'an fa asqai naakumoohu wa maaa antum lahoo bikhaazineen

    We send fertilizing winds, and bring down rain from the sky for you to drink. It is not you who hold its reserves.

23. 15:23

    وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْىِۦ وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحْنُ ٱلْوَٰرِثُونَ

    Wa innnaa la nahnu nuhyee wa numeetu wa nahnul waarisoon

    Surely it is We Who give life and cause death. And We are the ˹Eternal˺ Successor.

24. 15:24

    وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا ٱلْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا ٱلْمُسْتَـْٔخِرِينَ

    Wa la qad 'alimnal mustaqdimeena minkum wa laqad 'alimnal mustaakhireen

    We certainly know those who have gone before you and those who will come after ˹you˺.

25. 15:25

    وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ

    Wa inna Rabbaka Huwa yahshuruhum; innahoo Hakeem 'Aleem

    Surely your Lord ˹alone˺ will gather them together ˹for judgment˺. He is truly All-Wise, All-Knowing.

26. 15:26

    وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ

    Wa laqad khalaqnal insaana min salsaalim min hama im masnoon

    Indeed, We created man from sounding clay moulded from black mud.

27. 15:27

    وَٱلْجَآنَّ خَلَقْنَـٰهُ مِن قَبْلُ مِن نَّارِ ٱلسَّمُومِ

    Waljaaanna khalaqnaahu min qablu min naaris samoom

    As for the jinn, We created them earlier from smokeless fire.

28. 15:28

    وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى خَـٰلِقٌۢ بَشَرًا مِّن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ

    Wa iz qaala Rabbuka lilmalaaa' ikati innee khaaliqum basharam min salsaalim min hama im masnoon

    ˹Remember, O  Prophet˺ when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to create a human being from sounding clay moulded from black mud.

29. 15:29

    فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُۥ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِى فَقَعُوا۟ لَهُۥ سَـٰجِدِينَ

    Fa izaa sawwaituhoo wa nafakhtu feehi mir roohee faqa'oo lahoo saajideen

    So when I have fashioned him and had a spirit of My Own ˹creation˺ breathed into him, fall down in prostration to him.”

30. 15:30

    فَسَجَدَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ

    Fasajadal malaaa'ikatu kulluhum ajma'oon

    So the angels prostrated all together—

31. 15:31

    إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ

    Illaaa ibleesa abaaa ai yakoona ma'as saajideen

    but not Iblîs, who refused to prostrate with the others.

32. 15:32

    قَالَ يَـٰٓإِبْلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ

    Qaala yaaa Ibleesu maa laka allaa takoona ma'as saajideen

    Allah asked, “O Iblîs! What is the matter with you that you did not join others in prostration?”

33. 15:33

    قَالَ لَمْ أَكُن لِّأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن صَلْصَـٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ

    Qaala lam akul li asjuda libasharin khalaqtahoo min salsaalim min hama im masnoon

    He replied, “It is not for me to prostrate to a human You created from sounding clay moulded from black mud.”

34. 15:34

    قَالَ فَٱخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ

    Qaala fakhruj minhaa fa innaka rajeem

    Allah commanded, “Then get out of Paradise, for you are truly cursed.

35. 15:35

    وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ ٱللَّعْنَةَ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ

    Wa inna 'alikal la'nata ilaa Yawmid Deen

    And surely upon you is condemnation until the Day of Judgment.”

36. 15:36

    قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرْنِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

    Qaala Rabbi fa anzirneee ilaa Yawmi yub'asoon

37. 15:37

    قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنظَرِينَ

    Qaala fa innaka minal munzareen

    Allah said, “You will be delayed

38. 15:38

    إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْوَقْتِ ٱلْمَعْلُومِ

    Ilaa Yawmil waqtil ma'loom

    until the appointed Day.”

39. 15:39

    قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَغْوَيْتَنِى لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

    Qaala Rabbi bimaaa aghwaitanee la uzayyinaana lahum fil ardi wa la ughwiyan nahum ajma'een

    Satan responded, “My Lord! For allowing me to stray I will surely tempt them on earth and mislead them all together

40. 15:40

    إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

    Illaa 'ibaadaka minhumul mukhlaseen

    except Your chosen servants among them.”

41. 15:41

    قَالَ هَـٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ عَلَىَّ مُسْتَقِيمٌ

    Qaala haaza Siraatun 'alaiya Mustaqeem

    Allah said, “This is the Way, binding on Me:

42. 15:42

    إِنَّ عِبَادِى لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْغَاوِينَ

    Inna 'ibaadee laisa laka 'alaihim sultaanun illaa manittaba'aka minal ghaaween

    you will certainly have no authority over My servants, except the deviant who follow you

43. 15:43

    وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

    Wa inna jahannama lamaw'iduhum ajma'een

    and surely Hell is their destined place, all together.

44. 15:44

    إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

    Innal muttaqeena fee Jannaatinw wa 'uyoon

    Indeed, the righteous will be amid Gardens and springs.

46. 15:46

    ٱدْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَـٰمٍ ءَامِنِينَ

    Udkhuloohaa bisalaamin aamineen

    ˹It will be said to them,˺ “Enter in peace and security.”

47. 15:47

    وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِى صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ إِخْوَٰنًا عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ

    Wa naza'naa ma fee sudoorihim min ghillin ikhwaanan 'alaa sururim mutaqaabileen

    We will remove whatever bitterness they had in their hearts. In a friendly manner, they will be on thrones, facing one another.

72. 15:72

    لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِى سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ

    La'amruka innahum lafee sakratihim ya'mahoon

    By your life ˹O Prophet˺, they certainly wandered blindly, intoxicated ˹by lust˺.

73. 15:73

    فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِينَ

    Fa akhazat humus saihatu mushriqeen

    So the ˹mighty˺ blast overtook them at sunrise.

74. 15:74

    فَجَعَلْنَا عَـٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ

    Faja'alnaa 'aaliyahaa saafilahaa wa amtamaa 'alaihim hijaaratam min sjijjeel

    And We turned the cities ˹of Sodom and Gomorrah˺ upside down and rained upon them stones of baked clay.

75. 15:75

    إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ

    Inna fee zaalika la Aayaatil lilmutawassimeen

    Surely in this are signs for those who contemplate.

76. 15:76

    وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍ مُّقِيمٍ

    Wa innahaa labi sabeelim muqeem

    Their ruins still lie along a known route.

77. 15:77

    إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

    Inna fee zaalika la Aayatal lilmu'mineen

    Surely in this is a sign for those who believe.

78. 15:78

    وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ لَظَـٰلِمِينَ

    Wa in kaana Ashaabul Aikati lazaalimeen

    And the residents of the Forest were truly wrongdoers

79. 15:79

    فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ

    Fantaqamnaa minhum wa innahumaa labi imaamim mubeen

    so We inflicted punishment upon them. The ruins of both nations still lie on a well-known road.

80. 15:80

    وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْحِجْرِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

    Wa laqad kazzaba ashaabul Hijril mursaleen

    Indeed, the residents of the Stone Valley also denied the messengers.

81. 15:81

    وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا فَكَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ

    Wa aatainaahum Aayaatinaa fakaanoo 'anhaa mu'rideen

    We gave them Our signs, but they turned away from them.

82. 15:82

    وَكَانُوا۟ يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا ءَامِنِينَ

    Wa kaanoo yanhitoona minal jibaali buyootan aamineen

    They carved their homes in the mountains, feeling secure.

83. 15:83

    فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِينَ

    Fa akhazat humus saihatu musbiheen

    But the ˹mighty˺ blast overtook them in the morning

84. 15:84

    فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ

    Famaaa aghnaa 'anhum maa kaanoo yaksiboon

    and all they achieved was of no help to them.

85. 15:85

    وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَـَٔاتِيَةٌ ۖ فَٱصْفَحِ ٱلصَّفْحَ ٱلْجَمِيلَ

    Wa maa khalaqnas samaawaati wal arda wa maa bainahumaaa illaa bilhaqq; wa innas Saa'ata la aatiyatun fasfahis safhal jameel

    We have not created the heavens and the earth and everything in between except for a purpose. And the Hour is certain to come, so forgive graciously.

86. 15:86

    إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلْخَلَّـٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

    Inna Rabbaka Huwal khallaaqul 'aleem

    Surely your Lord is the Master Creator, All-Knowing.

87. 15:87

    وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَـٰكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ ٱلْمَثَانِى وَٱلْقُرْءَانَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ

    Wa laqad aatainaaka sab'am mnal masaanee wal Qur-aanal 'azeem

    We have certainly granted you the seven often-repeated verses and the great Quran.

88. 15:88

    لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

    Laa tamuddanna 'ainaika ilaa maa matta 'naa biheee azwaajam minhum wa laa tahzan 'alaihim wakhfid janaahaka lilmu 'mineen

    Do not let your eyes crave the ˹fleeting˺ pleasures We have provided for some of the disbelievers, nor grieve for them. And be gracious to the believers.

89. 15:89

    وَقُلْ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱلنَّذِيرُ ٱلْمُبِينُ

    Wa qul inneee anan nazeerul mubeen

    And say, “I am truly sent with a clear warning”—

90. 15:90

    كَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى ٱلْمُقْتَسِمِينَ

    Kamaaa anzalnaa 'alal muqtasimeen

    ˹a warning˺ similar to what We sent to those who divided ˹the Scriptures˺

91. 15:91

    ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا۟ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ عِضِينَ

    Allazeena ja'alul Quraana'ideen

    who ˹now˺ accept parts of the Quran, rejecting others.

92. 15:92

    فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْـَٔلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

    Fawa Rabbika lanas'a lannahum ajma'een

    So by your Lord! We will certainly question them all

93. 15:93

    عَمَّا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

    'Ammaa kaanoo ya'maloon

    about what they used to do.

94. 15:94

    فَٱصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ

    Fasda' bimaa tu'maru wa a'rid anil mushrikeen

    So proclaim what you have been commanded, and turn away from the polytheists.

95. 15:95

    إِنَّا كَفَيْنَـٰكَ ٱلْمُسْتَهْزِءِينَ

    Innaa kafainaakal mustahzi'een

    Surely We will be sufficient for you against the mockers

96. 15:96

    ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

    Allazeena yaj'aloona ma'al laahi ilaahan aakhar; fasawfa ya'lamoon

    who set up ˹other˺ gods with Allah. They will soon come to know.

97. 15:97

    وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ

    Wa laqad na'lamu annak yadeequ sadruka bimaa yaqooloon

    We certainly know that your heart is truly distressed by what they say.

98. 15:98

    فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ

    Fasbbih bihamdi Rabbika wa kum minas saajideen

    So glorify the praises of your Lord and be one of those who ˹always˺ pray
