سورة الحجر
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
15:1
The Rock
الٓر ۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَقُرْءَانٍ مُّبِينٍ١
Alif-Lãm-Ra. These are the verses of the Book; the clear Quran.
15:2
The Rock
رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ مُسْلِمِينَ٢
˹The day will come when˺ the disbelievers will certainly wish they had submitted ˹to Allah˺.
15:3
The Rock
ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا۟ وَيَتَمَتَّعُوا۟ وَيُلْهِهِمُ ٱلْأَمَلُ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ٣
˹So˺ let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by ˹false˺ hope, for they will soon know.
15:4
The Rock
وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَّعْلُومٌ٤
We have never destroyed a society without a destined term.
15:5

مَّا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ٥
No people can advance their doom, nor can they delay it.
15:6
The Rock
وَقَالُوا۟ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِى نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ٦
They say, “O you to whom the Reminder is revealed! You must be insane!
15:7
The Rock
لَّوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ٧
Why do you not bring us the angels, if what you say is true?”
15:8
The Rock
مَا نُنَزِّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوٓا۟ إِذًا مُّنظَرِينَ٨
We do not send the angels down except for a just cause, and then ˹the end of˺ the disbelievers will not be delayed.
15:9
The Rock
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَـٰفِظُونَ٩
It is certainly We Who have revealed the Reminder, and it is certainly We Who will preserve it.
15:10
The Rock
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِى شِيَعِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ١٠
Indeed, We sent messengers before you ˹O Prophet˺ among the groups of early peoples
15:11
The Rock
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ١١
but no messenger ever came to them without being mocked.
15:12
The Rock
كَذَٰلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُۥ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ١٢
This is how We allow disbelief ˹to steep˺ into the hearts of the wicked.
15:13
The Rock
لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ ۖ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ١٣
They would not believe in this ˹Quran˺ despite the ˹many˺ examples of those ˹destroyed˺ before.
15:14
The Rock
وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّوا۟ فِيهِ يَعْرُجُونَ١٤
And even if We opened for them a gate to heaven, through which they continued to ascend
15:15
The Rock
لَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَـٰرُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَّسْحُورُونَ١٥
still they would say, “Our eyes have truly been dazzled! In fact, we must have been bewitched.”
15:16
The Rock
وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجًا وَزَيَّنَّـٰهَا لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ١٦
Indeed, We have placed constellations in the sky, and adorned it for all to see.
15:17
The Rock
وَحَفِظْنَـٰهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْطَـٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ١٧
And We protected it from every accursed devil
15:18
The Rock
إِلَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَرَقَ ٱلسَّمْعَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ مُّبِينٌ١٨
except the one eavesdropping, who is then pursued by a visible flare.
15:19
The Rock
وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَـٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مَّوْزُونٍ١٩
As for the earth, We spread it out and placed upon it firm mountains, and caused everything to grow there in perfect balance.
15:20
The Rock
وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَـٰيِشَ وَمَن لَّسْتُمْ لَهُۥ بِرَٰزِقِينَ٢٠
And We made in it means of sustenance for you and others, who you do not provide for.
