Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has gone astray from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.

A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful,

— Transliteration

Without making exception.

— Saheeh International

Wala yastathnoona

— Transliteration

So there came upon the garden an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep.

And it became as though reaped.

— Saheeh International

Faasbahat kaalssareemi

And they called one another at morning,

— Saheeh International

Fatanadaw musbiheena

— Transliteration

[Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit."

So they set out, while lowering their voices,

— Saheeh International

Faintalaqoo wahum yatakhafatoona

— Transliteration

[Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person."

But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost;

— Saheeh International

Falamma raawha qaloo inna ladalloona

— Transliteration

Rather, we have been deprived."

— Saheeh International

Bal nahnu mahroomoona

— Transliteration

The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allah]?' "

— Saheeh International

Qala awsatuhum alam aqul lakum lawla tusabbihoona

— Transliteration

They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

— Transliteration

They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors.

— Saheeh International

Qaloo ya waylana inna kunna tagheena

Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."

— Saheeh International

AAasa rabbuna an yubdilana khayran minha inna ila rabbina raghiboona

Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.

— Saheeh International

Kathalika alAAathabu walaAAathabu alakhirati akbaru law kanoo yaAAlamoona

— Transliteration

Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure.

— Saheeh International

Inna lilmuttaqeena AAinda rabbihim jannati alnnaAAeemi

— Transliteration

Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals?

— Saheeh International

AfanajAAalu almuslimeena kaalmujrimeena

— Transliteration

What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge?

— Saheeh International

Ma lakum kayfa tahkumoona

— Transliteration

Or do you have a scripture in which you learn

Am lakum kitabun feehi tadrusoona

— Transliteration

That indeed for you is whatever you choose?

Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible.

Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful.

— Saheeh International

Am lahum shurakao falyatoo bishurakaihim in kanoo sadiqeena

The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but the disbelievers will not be able,

— Saheeh International

Yawma yukshafu AAan saqin wayudAAawna ila alssujoodi fala yastateeAAoona

— Transliteration

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.

— Saheeh International

KhashiAAatan absaruhum tarhaquhum thillatun waqad kanoo yudAAawna ila alssujoodi wahum salimoona

— Transliteration

So leave Me, [O Muhammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies the Qur'an. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.

— Saheeh International

Fatharnee waman yukaththibu bihatha alhadeethi sanastadrijuhum min haythu la yaAAlamoona

— Transliteration

And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.

— Saheeh International

Waomlee lahum inna kaydee mateenun

Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?

— Saheeh International

Am tasaluhum ajran fahum min maghramin muthqaloona

— Transliteration

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?

— Saheeh International

Am AAindahumu alghaybu fahum yaktuboona

— Transliteration

Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muhammad], and be not like the companion of the fish when he called out while he was distressed.

— Saheeh International

Faisbir lihukmi rabbika wala takun kasahibi alhooti ith nada wahuwa mak<i>th</i>oomun

— Transliteration

If not that a favor from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.

— Transliteration

And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.

— Saheeh International

Faijtabahu rabbuhu fajaAAalahu mina alssaliheena

— Transliteration

And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad."
