Surah Hūd (Hud) in English

1. ولو شاء ربك لجعل الناس أمة واحدة ولا يزالون مختلفين

   118

   Had your Lord wished, He would have made mankind one community; but they continue to differ,

   wa-law shāʾa rabbuka la-jaʿala n-nāsa ʾummatan wāḥidatan wa-lā yazālūna mukhtalifīna

2. إلا من رحم ربك ولذلك خلقهم وتمت كلمة ربك لأملأن جهنم من الجنة والناس أجمعين

   119

   except those on whom your Lord has mercy—and that is why He created them—and the word of your Lord has been fulfilled: ‘I will surely fill hell with jinn and humans, all together!’

   ʾillā man raḥima rabbuka wa-li-dhālika khalaqahum wa-tammat kalimatu rabbika la-ʾamlaʾanna jahannama mina l-jinnati wa-n-nāsi ʾajmaʿīna

3. وكلا نقص عليك من أنباء الرسل ما نثبت به فؤادك وجاءك في هذه الحق وموعظة وذكرى للمؤمنين

   120

   Whatever We relate to you of the accounts of the apostles are those by which We strengthen your heart, and there has come to you in this [surah] the truth and an advice and admonition for the faithful.

   wa-kullan naquṣṣu ʿalayka min ʾanbāʾi r-rusuli mā nuthabbitu bihī fuʾādaka wa-jāʾaka fī hādhihi l-ḥaqqu wa-mawʿiẓatun wa-dhikrā li-l-muʾminīna

4. وقل للذين لا يؤمنون اعملوا على مكانتكم إنا عاملون

   121

   Say to those who do not have faith, ‘Act according to your ability; we too are acting.

   wa-qul li-lladhīna lā yuʾminūna ʿmalū ʿalā makānatikum ʾinnā ʿāmilūna

5. وانتظروا إنا منتظرون

   122

   And wait! We too are waiting.’

6. ولله غيب السماوات والأرض وإليه يرجع الأمر كله فاعبده وتوكل عليه وما ربك بغافل عما تعملون

   123

   To Allah belongs the Unseen of the heavens and the earth, and to Him all matters are returned. So worship Him and trust in Him. Your Lord is not oblivious of what you do.

   wa-li-llāhi ghaybu s-samāwāti wa-l-ʾarḍi wa-ʾilayhi yurjaʿu l-ʾamru kulluhū fa-ʿbudhu wa-tawakkal ʿalayhi wa-mā rabbuka bi-ghāfilin ʿammā taʿmalūna
