Surah Al-Mu'minūn (The Believers) in English

1. بل أتيناهم بالحق وإنهم لكاذبون

   90

   Indeed, We have brought them the truth, and they are indeed liars.

   bal ʾataynāhum bi-l-ḥaqqi wa-ʾinnahum la-kādhibūna

2. ما اتخذ الله من ولد وما كان معه من إله إذا لذهب كل إله بما خلق ولعلا بعضهم على بعض سبحان الله عما يصفون

   91

   Allah has not taken any offspring, neither is there any god besides Him, for then each god would take away what he created, and some of them would surely rise up against others. Clear is Allah of what they allege!

   mā ttakhadha llāhu min waladin wa-mā kāna maʿahū min ʾilāhin ʾidhan la-dhahaba kullu ʾilāhin bi-mā khalaqa wa-la-ʿalā baʿḍuhum ʿalā baʿḍin subḥāna llāhi ʿammā yaṣifūna

3. عالم الغيب والشهادة فتعالى عما يشركون

   92

   The Knower of the sensible and the Unseen, He is above having any partners that they ascribe [to Him].

   ʿālimi l-ghaybi wa-sh-shahādati fa-taʿālā ʿammā yushrikūna

4. قل رب إما تريني ما يوعدون

   93

   Say, ‘My Lord! If You should show me what they are promised,

   qul rabbi ʾimmā turiyannī mā yūʿadūna

5. رب فلا تجعلني في القوم الظالمين

   94

   then do not put me, my Lord, among the wrongdoing lot.’

   rabbi fa-lā tajʿalnī fī l-qawmi ẓ-ẓālimīna

6. وإنا على أن نريك ما نعدهم لقادرون

   95

   We are indeed able to show you what We promise them.

   wa-ʾinnā ʿalā ʾan nuriyaka mā naʿiduhum la-qādirūna

7. ادفع بالتي هي أحسن السيئة نحن أعلم بما يصفون

   96

   Repel ill [conduct] with that which is the best. We know best whatever they allege.

   idfaʿ bi-llatī hiya ʾaḥsanu s-sayyiʾata naḥnu ʾaʿlamu bi-mā yaṣifūna

8. وقل رب أعوذ بك من همزات الشياطين

   97

   Say, ‘My Lord! I seek Your protection from the promptings of devils,

   wa-qul rabbi ʾaʿūdhu bika min hamazāti sh-shayāṭīni

9. وأعوذ بك رب أن يحضرون

   98

   and I seek Your protection, my Lord, from their presence near me.’

   wa-ʾaʿūdhu bika rabbi ʾan yaḥḍurūni

10. حتى إذا جاء أحدهم الموت قال رب ارجعون

    99

    When death comes to one of them, he says, ‘My Lord! Take me back,

    ḥattā ʾidhā jāʾa ʾaḥadahumu l-mawtu qāla rabbi rjiʿūni

11. لعلي أعمل صالحا فيما تركت كلا إنها كلمة هو قائلها ومن ورائهم برزخ إلى يوم يبعثون

    100

    that I may act righteously in what I have left behind.’ ‘By no means! These are mere words that he says.’ And before them is a barrier until the day they will be resurrected.

    laʿallī ʾaʿmalu ṣāliḥan fī-mā taraktu kallā ʾinnahā kalimatun huwa qāʾiluhā wa-min warāʾihim barzakhun ʾilā yawmi yubʿathūna

12. فإذا نفخ في الصور فلا أنساب بينهم يومئذ ولا يتساءلون

    101

    When the Trumpet is blown, there will be no ties between them on that day, nor will they ask [about] each other.

    fa-ʾidhā nufikha fī ṣ-ṣūri fa-lā ʾansāba baynahum yawmaʾidhin wa-lā yatasāʾalūna

13. فمن ثقلت موازينه فأولئك هم المفلحون

    102

    Then those whose deeds weigh heavy in the scales—it is they who are the felicitous.

    fa-man thaqulat mawāzīnuhū fa-ʾulāʾika humu l-mufliḥūna

14. ومن خفت موازينه فأولئك الذين خسروا أنفسهم في جهنم خالدون

    103

    As for those whose deeds weigh light in the scales—they will be the ones who have ruined their souls, and they will remain in hell [forever].

    wa-man khaffat mawāzīnuhū fa-ʾulāʾika lladhīna khasirū ʾanfusahum fī jahannama khālidūna

15. تلفح وجوههم النار وهم فيها كالحون

    104

    The Fire will scorch their faces, while they snarl baring their teeth.

    talfaḥu wujūhahumu n-nāru wa-hum fīhā kāliḥūna
