All Praise (is) for Allah the One Who (has) revealed to His slave the Book and not (has) made in it any crookedness

Straight to warn (of) a punishment severe from near Him and give glad tidings (to) the believers those who do righteous deeds that for them (is) a good reward (is) a good reward

(They will) abide in it forever

And to warn those who say Allah has taken Allah has taken a son

Not they have about it any knowledge and not their forefathers Grave (is) the word (that) comes out of their mouths Not they say except a lie

Then perhaps you would (be) the one who kills yourself over their footsteps if not they believe in this [the] narration (in) grief

Indeed, We We have made what (is) on the earth adornment for it that We may test [them] which of them (is) best (in) deed

And indeed, We (will) surely make what (is) on it soil barren

Or have you thought that (the) companions (of) the cave and the inscription were among Our Signs a wonder

When retreated the youths to the cave and they said Our Lord Grant us from Yourself Mercy and facilitate for us [from] our affair (in the) right way

So We cast over their ears in the cave years a number

Then We raised them up that We make evident which (of) the two parties best calculated for what (they had) remained (in) time

We narrate to you their story in truth Indeed, they (were) youths who believed in their Lord and We increased them (in) guidance

And We made firm [on] their hearts when they stood up and said Our Lord (is) the Lord (of) the heavens and the earth Never we will invoke besides Him besides Him any god Certainly we would have said then an enormity

These our people have taken besides Him besides Him gods Why not they come to them with an authority clear And who (is) more wrong than (one) who invents against Allah a lie

And when you withdraw from them and what they worship except Allah then retreat to the cave Will spread for you your Lord of His Mercy and will facilitate for you [from] your affair (in) ease

And you (might) have seen the sun when it rose inclining away from their cave to the right and when it set passing away from them to the left while they (lay) in the open space thereof That (was) from (the) Signs (of) Allah Whoever Allah guides Allah guides and he (is) the guided one and whoever He lets go astray then never you will find for him a protector a guide

And you (would) think them awake while they (were) asleep And We turned them to the right and to the left while their dog stretched his two forelegs at the entrance If you had looked at them you (would) have surely turned back from them (in) flight and surely you would have been filled by them (with) terror

And similarly We raised them that they might question among them Said a speaker among them How long have you remained They said We have remained a day or a part (of) a day They said Your Lord knows best how long you have remained So send one of you with this silver coin of yours with this silver coin of yours to the city and let him see which is the purest food and let him bring to you provision from it and let him be cautious And let not be aware And let not be aware about you anyone

Indeed, [they] if they come to know about you they will stone you or return you to their religion And never will you succeed then ever

And similarly We made known about them that they might know that (the) Promise (of) Allah (is) true and that (about) the Hour (there is) no doubt in it When they disputed among themselves about their affair and they said Construct over them a structure Their Lord knows best about them Said those who prevailed in their matter Surely we will take over them a place of worship

They say (they were) three the forth of them their dog and they say (they were) five the sixth of them their dog guessing about the unseen and they say (they were) seven and the eight of them their dog Say My Lord knows best their number None knows them except a few So (do) not argue about them except (with) an argument obvious and (do) not inquire about them among them (from) anyone

And (do) not say of anything Indeed, I will do that tomorrow

Except If Allah wills Allah wills And remember your Lord when you forget and say Perhaps [that] will guide me my Lord to a nearer (way) than this right way

And they remained in their cave (for) three hundred years and add nine

Say Allah knows best about what (period) they remained For Him (is the) unseen (of) the heavens and the earth How clearly He sees [of it] And how clearly He hears Not for them besides Him besides Him any protector and not He shares [in] His Commands (with) anyone

And recite what has been revealed to you of the Book (of) your Lord None can change His Words and never you will find besides Him besides Him a refuge

And be patient yourself with those who call their Lord in the morning and the evening desiring His Face And (let) not pass beyond your eyes over them desiring adornment (of) the life (of) the world and (do) not obey whom We have made heedless his heart of Our remembrance and follows his desires and is his affair (in) excess

And say The truth (is) from your Lord so whoever wills let him believe and whoever wills let him disbelieve Indeed, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a Fire will surround them its walls And if they call for relief they will be relieved with water like molten brass (which) scalds the faces Wretched (is) the drink and evil (is) the resting place

Indeed those who believed and did the good deeds indeed, We will not let go waste will not let go waste (the) reward (of one) who does good deeds

Those for them (are) Gardens of Eden flows from underneath them the rivers They will be adorned therein [of] (with) bracelets of gold and will wear garments green of fine silk and heavy brocade reclining therein on adorned couches Excellent (is) the reward and good (is) the resting place

And set forth to them the example of two men: We provided for one of them two gardens of grapes and We bordered them with date-palms and We placed between both of them crops

Each (of) the two gardens brought forth its produce and not did wrong of it anything And We caused to gush forth within them a river

And was for him fruit so he said to his companion while he (was) talking with him I am greater than you (in) wealth and stronger (in) men

And he entered his garden while he (was) unjust to himself He said Not I think that will perish this ever

And not I think the Hour will occur And if I am brought back to my Lord I will surely find better than this (as) a return

Said to him his companion while he was talking to him Do you disbelieve in One Who created you from dust then from a minute quantity of semen then fashioned you (into) a man

But as for me He (is) Allah my Lord and not I associate with my Lord anyone

And why (did you) not when you entered your garden say What wills Allah (there is) no power except with Allah If you see me (me) lesser than you (in) wealth and children

It may be that my Lord that my Lord will give me better than your garden and will send upon it a calamity from the sky then it will become ground slippery

Or will become its water sunken so never you will be able to find it to find it

And were surrounded his fruits so he began twisting his hands over what he (had) spent on it while it (had) collapsed on its trellises and he said Oh! I wish I had not associated I had not associated with my Lord anyone

And not was for him a group (to) help him other than other than Allah and not was (he) supported

There the protection (is) from Allah the True He (is the) best (to) reward and (the) best (for) the final end

And present to them the example (of) the life (of) the world like water which We send down from the sky then mingles with it (the) vegetation (of) the earth then becomes dry stalks it (is) scattered (by) the winds And Allah And Allah over every thing (is) All Able

The wealth and children (are) adornment (of) the life (of) the world But the enduring good deeds (are) better near your Lord (for) reward and better (for) hope

And the Day We will cause (to) move the mountains and you will see the earth (as) a leveled plain and We will gather them and not We will leave behind from them anyone

And they will be presented before your Lord (in) rows Certainly you have come to Us as We created you the first time Nay you claimed that not We made for you an appointment

And (will) be placed the Book and you will see the criminals fearful of what (is) in it and they will say Oh, woe to us What (is) for this [the] Book not leaves a small and not a great except has enumerated it And they will find what they did presented And not deals unjustly your Lord (with) anyone

And when We said to the Angels Prostrate to Adam so they prostrated except Iblis (He) was of the jinn and he rebelled against the Command (of) his Lord Will you then take him and his offspring (as) protectors other than Me other than Me while they (are) to you enemies Wretched for the wrongdoers (is) the exchange

Not I made them witness the creation (of) the heavens and the earth and not the creation (of) themselves and not I Am the One to take the misleaders (as) helper(s)

And the Day He will say Call My partners those who you claimed then they will call them but not they will respond to them And We will make between them a barrier

And will see the criminals the Fire and they (will be) certain that they are to fall in it And not they will find from it a way of escape

And certainly We have explained in this the Quran for mankind of every example But is the man (in) most things quarrelsome

And nothing prevents men that they believe when has come to them the guidance and they ask forgiveness (of) their Lord except that comes to them (the) way (of) the former (people) or comes to them the punishment before (them)

And not We send the Messengers except (as) bearers of glad tidings and (as) warners And dispute those who disbelieve with falsehood to refute thereby the truth And they take My Verses and what they are warned (in) ridicule

And who (is) more wrong than (he) who is reminded of the Verses (of) his Lord but turns away from them and forgets what have sent forth his hands Indeed, We [We] have placed over their hearts coverings lest they understand it and in their ears (is) deafness And if you call them to the guidance then never they will be guided then ever

And your Lord (is) the Most Forgiving Owner (of) the Mercy If He were to seize them for what they have earned surely, He (would) have hastened for them the punishment But for them (is) an appointment never they will find other than it other than it an escape

And these [the] towns We destroyed them when they wronged and We made for their destruction an appointed time

And when said Musa to his boy Not I will cease until I reach the junction (of) the two seas or I continue (for) a long period

But when they reached the junction between them they forgot their fish and it took its way into the sea slipping away

Then when they had passed beyond he said to his boy Bring us our morning meal Certainly we have suffered in our journey this fatigue

He said Did you see when we retired to the rock Then indeed, I [I] forgot the fish And not made me forget it except the Shaitaan that I mention it And it took its way into the sea amazingly

He said That (is) what we were seeking So they returned on their footprints retracing

Then they found a servant from Our servants whom We had given mercy from Us and We had taught him from Us a knowledge

Said to him Musa May I follow you on that you teach me of what you have been taught (of) right guidance

He said Indeed, you never will be able with me (to have) patience

And how can you have patience for what not you encompass of it any knowledge

He said You will find me if Allah wills Allah wills patient and not I will disobey your order

He said Then if you follow me (do) not ask me about anything until I present to you of it a mention

So they both set out until when they had embarked on the ship he made a hole in it He said Have you made a hole in it to drown its people Certainly you have done a thing grave

He said Did not I say indeed, you never will be able with me (to have) patience

He said (Do) not blame me for what I forgot and (do) not be hard (upon) me in my affair (raising) difficulty

Then they both set out until when they met a boy then he killed him He said Have you killed a soul pure for other than a soul Certainly you have done a thing evil

He said Did not I say to you that you never will be able with me (to have) patience

He said If I ask you about anything after it then (do) not keep me as a companion Verily you have reached from me from me an excuse

So they set out until when they came (to the) people (of) a town they asked for food (from) its people but they refused to offer them hospitality Then they found in it a wall (that) want(ed) to collapse so he set it straight He said If you wished surely you (could) have taken for it a payment

He said This (is) parting between me and between you I will inform you of (the) interpretation (of) what not you were able on it (to have) patience

As for the ship it was of (the) poor people working in the sea So I intended that I cause defect (in) it (as there) was after them a king who seized every ship (by) force

And as for the boy his parents were his parents were believers and we feared that he would overburden them (by) transgression and disbelief

So we intended that would change for them their Lord a better than him (in) purity and nearer (in) affection

And as for the wall it was for two orphan boys for two orphan boys in the town and was underneath it a treasure for them and was their father righteous So intended your Lord that they reach their maturity and bring forth their treasure (as) a mercy from your Lord And not I did it on my (own) accord That (is the) interpretation (of) what not you were able on it (to have) patience

And they ask you about Dhul-qarnain Dhul-qarnain Say I will recite to you about him a remembrance

Indeed, We [We] established [for] him in the earth and We gave him of every thing a means

So he followed a course

Until when he reached (the) setting place (of) the sun he found it setting in a spring (of) dark mud and he found near it a community We said O Dhul-qarnain O Dhul-qarnain Either [that] you punish or [that] you take [in] them (with) goodness

He said As for (one) who wrongs then soon we will punish him Then he will be returned to his Lord and He will punish him (with) a punishment terrible

But as for (one) who believes and does righteous (deeds) then for him (is) a reward good And we will speak to him from our command (with) ease

Then he followed (a) course

Until when he reached (the) rising place (of) the sun and he found it rising on a community not We made for them against it against it any shelter

Thus And verily We encompassed of what (was) with him (of the) information

Then he followed a course

Until when he reached between the two mountains he found besides them besides them a community not who would almost understand (his) speech

They said O Dhul-qarnain O Dhul-qarnain Indeed Yajuj and Majuj (are) corrupters in the land So may we make for you an expenditure [on] that you make between us and between them a barrier

He said What has established me [in it] my Lord (is) better but assist me with strength I will make between you and between them a barrier

Bring me sheets (of) iron until when he (had) leveled between the two cliffs he said Blow until when he made it fire he said Bring me I pour over it molten copper

So not they were able to scale it and not they were able in it (to do) any penetration

He said This (is) a mercy from my Lord But when comes (the) Promise (of) my Lord He will make it level And is (the) Promise (of) my Lord true

And We (will) leave some of them (on) that Day to surge over others and (will be) blown in the trumpet then We (will) gather them all together

And We (will) present Hell (on) that Day to the disbelievers (on) display

Those had been their eyes within a cover from My remembrance and were not able (to) hear

Do then think those who disbelieve that they (can) take My servants besides Me besides Me (as) protectors Indeed, We We have prepared Hell for the disbelievers (as) a lodging

Say Shall We inform you of the greatest losers (as to their) deeds

Those is lost their effort in the life (of) the world while they think that they (were) acquiring good (in) work

Those (are) the ones who disbelieve in the Verses (of) their Lord and the meeting (with) Him So (are) vain their deeds so not We will assign for them (on) the Day (of) the Resurrection any weight

That (is) their recompense Hell because they disbelieved and took My Verses and My Messengers (in) ridicule

Indeed those who believed and did righteous deeds for them will be for them will be Gardens (of) the Paradise (as) a lodging

Abiding forever in it Not they will desire from it any transfer

Say If were the sea ink for (the) Words (of) my Lord surely (would be) exhausted the sea before [that] (were) exhausted (the) Words (of) my Lord even if We brought (the) like (of) it (as) a supplement

Say Only I (am) a man like you Has been revealed to me that your God (is) God One So whoever is hoping (for the) meeting (with) his Lord let him do deeds righteous and not associate in (the) worship (of) his Lord anyone
