Surah Al-'Anbyā (The Prophets) in English

1. وجعلناهم أئمة يهدون بأمرنا وأوحينا إليهم فعل الخيرات وإقام الصلاة وإيتاء الزكاة وكانوا لنا عابدين

   73

   We made them imams, guiding by Our command, and We revealed to them [concerning] the performance of good deeds, the maintenance of prayers, and the giving of zakat, and they used to worship Us.

   wa-jaʿalnāhum ʾaʾimmatan yahdūna bi-ʾamrinā wa-ʾawḥaynā ʾilayhim fiʿla l-khayrāti wa-ʾiqāma ṣ-ṣalāti wa-ʾītāʾa z-zakāti wa-kānū lanā ʿābidīna

2. ولوطا آتيناه حكما وعلما ونجيناه من القرية التي كانت تعمل الخبائث إنهم كانوا قوم سوء فاسقين

   74

   We gave judgement and knowledge to Lot, and We delivered him from the town which used to commit vicious acts. Indeed, they were an evil and depraved lot.

   wa-lūṭan ʾātaynāhu ḥukman wa-ʿilman wa-najjaynāhu mina l-qaryati llatī kānat taʿmalu l-khabāʾitha ʾinnahum kānū qawma sawʾin fāsiqīna

3. وأدخلناه في رحمتنا إنه من الصالحين

   75

   And We admitted him into Our mercy. Indeed, he was one of the righteous.

   wa-ʾadkhalnāhu fī raḥmatinā ʾinnahū mina ṣ-ṣāliḥīna

4. ونوحا إذ نادى من قبل فاستجبنا له فنجيناه وأهله من الكرب العظيم

   76

   And before that Noah, when he called out, We responded to him and delivered him and his family from the great agony.

   wa-nūḥan ʾidh nādā min qablu fa-stajabnā lahū fa-najjaynāhu wa-ʾahlahū mina l-karbi l-ʿaẓīmi

5. ونصرناه من القوم الذين كذبوا بآياتنا إنهم كانوا قوم سوء فأغرقناهم أجمعين

   77

   And We helped him against the people who denied Our signs. They were indeed an evil lot; so We drowned them all.

   wa-naṣarnāhu mina l-qawmi lladhīna kadhdhabū bi-ʾāyātinā ʾinnahum kānū qawma sawʾin fa-ʾaghraqnāhum ʾajmaʿīna

6. وداوود وسليمان إذ يحكمان في الحرث إذ نفشت فيه غنم القوم وكنا لحكمهم شاهدين

   78

   And [remember] David and Solomon when they gave judgement concerning the tillage when the sheep of some people strayed into it by night, and We were witness to their judgement.

   wa-dāwūda wa-sulaymāna ʾidh yaḥkumāni fī l-ḥarthi ʾidh nafashat fīhi ghanamu l-qawmi wa-kunnā li-ḥukmihim shāhidīna

7. ففهمناها سليمان وكلا آتينا حكما وعلما وسخرنا مع داوود الجبال يسبحن والطير وكنا فاعلين

   79

   We gave its understanding to Solomon, and to each We gave judgement and knowledge. We disposed the mountains and the birds to glorify [Us] with David, and We have been the doer [of these things].

   fa-fahhamnāhā sulaymāna wa-kullan ʾātaynā ḥukman wa-ʿilman wa-sakhkharnā maʿa dāwūda l-jibāla yusabbiḥna wa-ṭ-ṭayra wa-kunnā fāʿilīna

8. وعلمناه صنعة لبوس لكم لتحصنكم من بأسكم فهل أنتم شاكرون

   80

   We taught him the making of coats of mail for you, to protect you from your [own] violence. Will you then be grateful?

   wa-ʿallamnāhu ṣanʿata labūsin lakum li-tuḥṣinakum min baʾsikum fa-hal ʾantum shākirūna

9. ولسليمان الريح عاصفة تجري بأمره إلى الأرض التي باركنا فيها وكنا بكل شيء عالمين

   81

   And [We disposed] for Solomon the tempestuous wind which blew by his command toward the land which We have blessed, and We have knowledge of all things.

   wa-li-sulaymāna r-rīḥa ʿāṣifatan tajrī bi-ʾamrihī ʾilā l-ʾarḍi llatī bāraknā fīhā wa-kunnā bi-kulli shayʾin ʿālimīna
