The Hijr Valley

In the name of GOD, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

bis'mi l-lahi l-raḥmāni l-raḥīm

A.L.R. These (letters) are proofs of this scripture; a profound Quran.

الٓر تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَقُرْءَانٍ مُّبِينٍ

alif-lam-ra til'ka āyātu l-kitābi waqur'ānin mubīni

Certainly, those who disbelieved will wish they were submitters.

رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ مُسْلِمِينَ

rubamā yawaddu alladhīna kafarū law kānū mus'limīn

Let them eat, enjoy, and remain blinded by wishful thinking; they will find out.

ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا۟ وَيَتَمَتَّعُوا۟ وَيُلْهِهِمُ ٱلْأَمَلُ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

dharhum yakulū wayatamattaʿū wayul'hihimu l-amalu fasawfa yaʿlamūn

We never annihilated any community, except in accordance with a specific, predetermined time.

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَّعْلُومٌ

wamā ahlaknā min qaryatin illā walahā kitābun maʿlūmu

The end of any community can never be advanced, nor delayed.

مَّا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ

mā tasbiqu min ummatin ajalahā wamā yastakhirūn

They said, "O you who received this reminder, you are crazy.

وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِى نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ

waqālū yāayyuhā alladhī nuzzila ʿalayhi l-dhik'ru innaka lamajnūnu

"Why do you not bring down the angels, if you are truthful?"

لَّوْمَا تَأْتِينَا بِٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

law mā tatīnā bil-malāikati in kunta mina l-ṣādiqīn

We do not send down the angels except for specific functions. Otherwise, no one will be respited.

مَا نُنَزِّلُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوٓا۟ إِذًا مُّنظَرِينَ

mā nunazzilu l-malāikata illā bil-ḥaqi wamā kānū idhan munẓarīn

Absolutely, we have revealed the reminder, and, absolutely, we will preserve it.

إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ

innā naḥnu nazzalnā l-dhik'ra wa-innā lahu laḥāfiẓūn

We have sent (messengers) before you to the communities in the past.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِى شِيَعِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

walaqad arsalnā min qablika fī shiyaʿi l-awalīn

Every time a messenger went to them, they ridiculed him.

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

wamā yatīhim min rasūlin illā kānū bihi yastahziūn

We thus control the minds of the guilty.

كَذَٰلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُۥ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

kadhālika naslukuhu fī qulūbi l-muj'rimīn

Consequently, they cannot believe in him. This has been the system since the past generations.

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

lā yu'minūna bihi waqad khalat sunnatu l-awalīn

Even if we opened for them a gate into the sky, through which they climb;

وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّوا۟ فِيهِ يَعْرُجُونَ

walaw fataḥnā ʿalayhim bāban mina l-samāi faẓallū fīhi yaʿrujūn

they will say, "Our eyes have been deceived. We have been bewitched."

لَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَٰرُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَّسْحُورُونَ

laqālū innamā sukkirat abṣārunā bal naḥnu qawmun masḥūrūn

We placed galaxies in the sky, and adorned it for the beholders.

وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجًا وَزَيَّنَّٰهَا لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ

walaqad jaʿalnā fī l-samāi burūjan wazayyannāhā lilnnāẓirīn

And we guarded it against every rejected devil.

وَحَفِظْنَٰهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ

waḥafiẓ'nāhā min kulli shayṭānin rajīmi

If any of them sneaks around to listen, a mighty projectile will chase him back.

إِلَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَرَقَ ٱلسَّمْعَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ مُّبِينٌ

illā mani is'taraqa l-samʿa fa-atbaʿahu shihābun mubīnu

As for the earth, we constructed it, and placed on it stabilizers (mountains), and we grew on it a perfect balance of everything.

وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مَّوْزُونٍ

wal-arḍa madadnāhā wa-alqaynā fīhā rawāsiya wa-anbatnā fīhā min kulli shayin mawzūni

We made it habitable for you, and for creatures you do not provide for.

وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَٰيِشَ وَمَن لَّسْتُمْ لَهُۥ بِرَٰزِقِينَ

wajaʿalnā lakum fīhā maʿāyisha waman lastum lahu birāziqīn

There is nothing that we do not own infinite amounts thereof. But we send it down in precise measure.

وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا عِندَنَا خَزَآئِنُهُۥ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

wa-in min shayin illā ʿindanā khazāinuhu wamā nunazziluhu illā biqadarin maʿlūmi

And we send the winds as pollinators, and cause water to come down from the sky for you to drink. Otherwise, you could not keep it palatable.

وَأَرْسَلْنَا ٱلرِّيَٰحَ لَوَٰقِحَ فَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَسْقَيْنَٰكُمُوهُ وَمَآ أَنتُمْ لَهُۥ بِخَٰزِنِينَ

wa-arsalnā l-riyāḥa lawāqiḥa fa-anzalnā mina l-samāi māan fa-asqaynākumūhu wamā antum lahu bikhāzinīn

It is we who control life and death, and we are the ultimate inheritors.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْىِۦ وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحْنُ ٱلْوَٰرِثُونَ

wa-innā lanaḥnu nuḥ'yī wanumītu wanaḥnu l-wārithūn

And we fully know those among you who advance, and we fully know those who regress.

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا ٱلْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا ٱلْمُسْتَـْٔخِرِينَ

walaqad ʿalim'nā l-mus'taqdimīna minkum walaqad ʿalim'nā l-mus'takhirīn

Your Lord will surely summon them. He is Most Wise, Omniscient.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ إِنَّهُۥ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ

wa-inna rabbaka huwa yaḥshuruhum innahu ḥakīmun ʿalīmu

We created the human being from aged mud, like the potter's clay.

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِن صَلْصَٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ

walaqad khalaqnā l-insāna min ṣalṣālin min ḥama-in masnūni

As for the jinns, we created them, before that, from blazing fire.

وَٱلْجَآنَّ خَلَقْنَٰهُ مِن قَبْلُ مِن نَّارِ ٱلسَّمُومِ

wal-jāna khalaqnāhu min qablu min nāri l-samūm

Your Lord said to the angels, "I am creating a human being from aged mud, like the potter's clay.

وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى خَٰلِقٌۢ بَشَرًا مِّن صَلْصَٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ

wa-idh qāla rabbuka lil'malāikati innī khāliqun basharan min ṣalṣālin min ḥama-in masnūni

"Once I perfect him, and blow into him from My spirit, you shall fall prostrate before him."

فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُۥ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِى فَقَعُوا۟ لَهُۥ سَٰجِدِينَ

fa-idhā sawwaytuhu wanafakhtu fīhi min rūḥī faqaʿū lahu sājidīn

The angels fell prostrate; all of them,

فَسَجَدَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ

fasajada l-malāikatu kulluhum ajmaʿūn

except Iblis (Satan). He refused to be with the prostrators.

إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ

illā ib'līsa abā an yakūna maʿa l-sājidīn

He said, "O Iblis (Satan), why are you not with the prostrators?"

قَالَ يَٰٓإِبْلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ

qāla yāib'līsu mā laka allā takūna maʿa l-sājidīn

He said, "I am not to prostrate before a human being, whom You created from aged mud, like the potter's clay."

قَالَ لَمْ أَكُن لِّأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن صَلْصَٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ

qāla lam akun li-asjuda libasharin khalaqtahu min ṣalṣālin min ḥama-in masnūni

He said, "Therefore, you must get out; you are banished.

قَالَ فَٱخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ

qāla fa-ukh'ruj min'hā fa-innaka rajīmu

"You have incurred My condemnation until the Day of Judgment."

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ ٱللَّعْنَةَ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ

wa-inna ʿalayka l-laʿnata ilā yawmi l-dīn

He said, "My Lord, respite me until the day they are resurrected."

ilā yawmi l-waqti l-maʿlūm

He said, "My Lord, since You have willed that I go astray, I will surely entice them on earth; I will send them all astray.

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَغْوَيْتَنِى لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

qāla rabbi bimā aghwaytanī la-uzayyinanna lahum fī l-arḍi wala-ugh'wiyannahum ajmaʿīn

"Except those among Your worshipers who are devoted absolutely to You alone."

إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

illā ʿibādaka min'humu l-mukh'laṣīn

He said, "This is a law that is inviolable.

qāla hādhā ṣirāṭun ʿalayya mus'taqīmu

"You have no power over My servants. You only have power over the strayers who follow you.

inna ʿibādī laysa laka ʿalayhim sul'ṭānun illā mani ittabaʿaka mina l-ghāwīn

"And Hell awaits them all.

وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

wa-inna jahannama lamawʿiduhum ajmaʿīn

"It will have seven gates. Each gate will get a specific share of them."

lahā sabʿatu abwābin likulli bābin min'hum juz'on maqsūmu

Enter therein, peaceful and secure.

ٱدْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَٰمٍ ءَامِنِينَ

ud'khulūhā bisalāmin āminīn

We remove all jealousy from their hearts. Like one family, they will be on adjacent furnishings.

وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِى صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ إِخْوَٰنًا عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ

wanazaʿnā mā fī ṣudūrihim min ghillin ikh'wānan ʿalā sururin mutaqābilīn

Never will they suffer any fatigue therein; never will they be evicted therefrom.

لَا يَمَسُّهُمْ فِيهَا نَصَبٌ وَمَا هُم مِّنْهَا بِمُخْرَجِينَ

lā yamassuhum fīhā naṣabun wamā hum min'hā bimukh'rajīn

illā im'ra-atahu qaddarnā innahā lamina l-ghābirīn

We delivered to him this command: those people are to be annihilated in the morning.

وَقَضَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْأَمْرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مَقْطُوعٌ مُّصْبِحِينَ

fa-akhadhathumu l-ṣayḥatu mush'riqīn

We turned it upside down, and showered them with devastating rocks.

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِينَ

fa-akhadhathumu l-ṣayḥatu muṣ'biḥīn

What they hoarded did not help them.

فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ

famā aghnā ʿanhum mā kānū yaksibūn

We did not create the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, except for a specific purpose. The end of the world will come, so treat them with benign neglect.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَءَاتِيَةٌ فَٱصْفَحِ ٱلصَّفْحَ ٱلْجَمِيلَ

inna rabbaka huwa l-khalāqu l-ʿalīm

We have given you the seven pairs, and the great Quran.

walaqad ātaynāka sabʿan mina l-mathānī wal-qur'āna l-ʿaẓīm

Do not be jealous of what we bestowed upon the other (messengers), and do not be saddened (by the disbelievers), and lower your wing for the believers.

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

We will deal with the dividers.

كَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى ٱلْمُقْتَسِمِينَ

They accept the Quran only partially.

ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا۟ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ عِضِينَ

alladhīna jaʿalū l-qur'āna ʿiḍīn

By your Lord, we will question them all,

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْـَٔلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

fawarabbika lanasalannahum ajmaʿīn

about everything they have done.

عَمَّا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

amma kaanu ya'limun

fa-iṣ'daʿ bimā tu'maru wa-aʿriḍ ʿani l-mush'rikīn

إِنَّا كَفَيْنَٰكَ ٱلْمُسْتَهْزِءِينَ

innā kafaynāka l-mus'tahziīn

alladhīna yajʿalūna maʿa l-lahi ilāhan ākhara fasawfa yaʿlamūn

We know full well that you may be annoyed by their utterances.

وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ

walaqad naʿlamu annaka yaḍīqu ṣadruka bimā yaqūlūn

فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ

fasabbiḥ biḥamdi rabbika wakun mina l-sājidīn

And worship your Lord, in order to attain certainty.

وَٱعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ ٱلْيَقِينُ
