Alif-Lām-Rā. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'ān, and none but Allāh (Alone) knows their meanings]. (This is) a Book which We have revealed unto you (O Muhammad SAW) in order that you might lead mankind out of darkness (of disbelief and polytheism) into light (of belief in the Oneness of Allāh and Islāmic Monotheism) by their Lord's Leave to the Path of the All-Mighty, the Owner of all Praise. (Ibrahim 14:1)
Al-Ladhīna Yastaĥibbūna Al-Ĥayāata Ad-Dunyā `Alá Al-'Ākhirati Wa Yaşuddūna `An Sabīli Allāhi Wa Yabghūnahā `Iwajāan ۚ 'Ūlā'ika Fī Đalālin Ba`īdin
Those who prefer the life of this world instead of the Hereafter, and hinder (men) from the Path of Allāh (i.e.Islām) and seek crookedness therein - They are far astray. (Ibrahim 14:3)
Wa Mā 'Arsalnā MinRasūlin 'Illā Bilisāni Qawmihi Liyubayyina Lahum ۖ Fayuđillu Allāhu Man Yashā'u Wa Yahdī Man Yashā'u ۚ Wa Huwa Al-`Azīzu Al-Ĥakīmu
And We sent not a Messenger except with the language of his people, in order that he might make (the Message) clear for them. Then Allāh misleads whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. (Ibrahim 14:4)
Wa Laqad 'Arsalnā Mūsá Bi'āyātinā 'An 'AkhrijQawmaka Mina Až-Žulumāti 'Ilá An-Nūri Wa Dhakkirhum Bi'ayyāmi Allāhi ۚ 'Inna Fī Dhālika La'āyātin Likulli ŞabbārinShakūrin
And indeed We sent Mûsa (Moses) with Our Ayāt (signs, proofs, and evidences) (saying): "Bring out your people from darkness into light, and make them remember the annals of Allāh. Truly, therein are evidences, proofs and signs for every patient, thankful (person)." (Ibrahim 14:5)
Wa 'IdhQāla Mūsá Liqawmihi Adhkurū Ni`mata Allāhi `Alaykum 'Idh 'Anjākum Min 'Āli Fir`awna Yasūmūnakum Sū'a Al-`Adhābi Wa Yudhabbiĥūna 'Abnā'akum Wa Yastaĥyūna Nisā'akum ۚ Wa Fī Dhālikum Balā'un MinRabbikum `Ažīmun
And (remember) when Mûsa (Moses) said to his people: "Call to mind Allāh's Favour to you, when He delivered you from Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people who were afflicting you with horrible torment, and were slaughtering your sons and letting your women alive, and in it was a tremendous trial from your Lord." (Ibrahim 14:6)
Wa 'Idh Ta'adhdhana Rabbukum La'inShakartum La'azīdannakum ۖ Wa La'in Kafartum 'Inna `Adhābī Lashadīdun
And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed: "If you give thanks (by accepting Faith and worshipping none but Allāh), I will give you more (of My Blessings), but if you are thankless (i.e. disbelievers), verily! My Punishment is indeed severe." (Ibrahim 14:7)
Wa Qāla Mūsá 'In Takfurū 'Antum Wa Man Fī Al-'Arđi Jamī`āan Fa'inna Allāha Laghanīyun Ĥamīdun
And Mûsa (Moses) said: "If you disbelieve, you and all on earth together, then verily! Allāh is Rich (Free of all wants), Owner of all Praise." (Ibrahim 14:8)
'Alam Ya'tikum Naba'u Al-Ladhīna MinQablikumQawmi Nūĥin Wa `Ādin Wa Thamūda Wa ۛ Al-Ladhīna Min Ba`dihim ۛ Lā Ya`lamuhum 'Illā Al-Lahu ۚ Jā'at/humRusuluhum Bil-Bayyināti Faraddū 'Aydiyahum Fī 'Afwāhihim Wa Qālū 'Innā Kafarnā Bimā 'Ursiltum Bihi Wa 'Innā Lafī Shakkin Mimmā Tad`ūnanā 'Ilayhi Murībin
Has not the news reached you, of those before you, the people of Nûh (Noah), and 'Ad, and Thamud? And those after them? None knows them but Allāh. To them came their Messengers with clear proofs, but they put their hands in their mouths (biting them from anger) and said: "Verily, we disbelieve in that with which you have been sent, and we are really in grave doubt as to that to which you invite us (i.e. Islāmic Monotheism)." (Ibrahim 14:9)
Their Messengers said: "What! Can there be a doubt about Allāh, the Creator of the heavens and the earth? He calls you (to Monotheism and to be obedient to Allāh) that He may forgive you of your sins and give you respite for a term appointed." They said: "You are no more than human beings like us! You wish to turn us away from what our fathers used to worship. Then bring us a clear authority i.e. a clear proof of what you say)." (Ibrahim 14:10)
Qālat LahumRusuluhum 'In Naĥnu 'Illā Basharun Mithlukum Wa Lakinna Allāha Yamunnu `Alá Man Yashā'u Min `Ibādihi ۖ Wa Mā Kāna Lanā 'An Na'tiyakum Bisulţānin 'Illā Bi'idhni Allāhi ۚ Wa `Alá Allāhi Falyatawakkali Al-Mu'uminūna
Their Messengers said to them: "We are no more than human beings like you, but Allāh bestows His Grace to whom He wills of His slaves. It is not ours to bring you an authority (proof) except by the Permission of Allāh. And in Allāh (Alone) let the believers put their trust. (Ibrahim 14:11)
Wa Mā Lanā 'Allā Natawakkala `Alá Allāhi Wa Qad Hadānā Subulanā ۚ Wa Lanaşbiranna `Alá Mā 'Ādhaytumūnā ۚ Wa `Alá Allāhi Falyatawakkali Al-Mutawakkilūna
"And why should we not put our trust in Allāh while He indeed has guided us our ways. And we shall certainly bear with patience all the hurt you may cause us, and in Allāh (Alone) let those who trust, put their trust." (Ibrahim 14:12)
Wa Qāla Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Lirusulihim Lanukhrijannakum Min 'Arđinā 'Aw Lata`ūdunna Fī Millatinā ۖ Fa'awĥá 'IlayhimRabbuhum Lanuhlikanna Až-Žālimīna
And those who disbelieved, said to their Messengers: "Surely, we shall drive you out of our land, or you shall return to our religion." So their Lord inspired them: "Truly, We shall destroy the Zālimûn (polytheists, disbelievers and wrong-doers.). (Ibrahim 14:13)
Wa Lanuskinannakumu Al-'Arđa Min Ba`dihim ۚ Dhālika Liman Khāfa Maqāmī Wa Khāfa Wa`īdi
"And indeed, We shall make you dwell in the land after them. This is for him who fears standing before Me (on the Day of Resurrection or fears My Punishment) and also fears My Threat." (Ibrahim 14:14)
But they (the Messengers) sought victory and help [from their Lord (Allāh)], and every obstinate, arrogant dictator (who refuses to believe in the Oneness of Allāh) was brought to a complete loss and destruction. (Ibrahim 14:15)
Yatajarra`uhu Wa Lā Yakādu Yusīghuhu Wa Ya'tīhi Al-Mawtu Min Kulli Makānin Wa Mā Huwa Bimayyitin ۖ Wa Min Warā'ihi `Adhābun Ghalīžun
He will sip it unwillingly, and he will find a great difficulty to swallow it down his throat, and death will come to him from every side, yet he will not die and in front of him, will be a great torment. (Ibrahim 14:17)
The parable of those who disbelieve in their Lord is that their works are as ashes, on which the wind blows furiously on a stormy day, they shall not be able to get aught of what they have earned. That is the straying, far away (from the Right Path). (Ibrahim 14:18)
'Alam Tará 'Anna Allāha Khalaqa As-Samāwāti Wa Al-'Arđa Bil-Ĥaqqi ۚ 'In Yasha' Yudh/hibkum Wa Ya'ti Bikhalqin Jadīdin
Do you not see that Allāh has created the heavens and the earth with truth? If He will, He can remove you and bring (in your place) a new creation! (Ibrahim 14:19)
And for Allāh that is not hard or difficult (i.e. very easy for Allāh). (Ibrahim 14:20)
وَمَا ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ بِعَزِيزٍ
Wa Barazū Lillāh Jamī`āan Faqāla Ađ-Đu`afā'u Lilladhīna Astakbarū 'Innā Kunnā Lakum Taba`āan Fahal 'Antum Mughnūna `Annā Min `Adhābi Allāhi MinShay'in ۚ Qālū Law Hadānā Al-Lahu Lahadaynākum ۖ Sawā'un `Alaynā 'Ajazi`nā 'AmŞabarnā Mā Lanā Min Maĥīşin
And they all shall appear before Allāh (on the Day of Resurrection) then the weak will say to those who were arrogant (chiefs): "Verily, we were following you; can you avail us anything from Allāh's Torment?" They will say: "Had Allāh guided us, we would have guided you. It makes no difference to us (now) whether we rage, or bear (these torments) with patience, there is no place of refuge for us." (Ibrahim 14:21)
Wa Qāla Ash-Shayţānu Lammā Quđiya Al-'Amru 'Inna Allāha Wa`adakum Wa`da Al-Ĥaqqi Wa Wa`adtukum Fa'akhlaftukum ۖ Wa Mā Kāna Lī `Alaykum Min Sulţānin 'Illā 'An Da`awtukum Fāstajabtum Lī ۖ Falā Talūmūnī Wa Lūmū 'Anfusakum ۖ Mā 'Anā Bimuşrikhikum Wa Mā 'Antum Bimuşrikhīya ۖ 'Innī Kafartu Bimā 'Ashraktumūnī MinQablu ۗ 'Inna Až-Žālimīna Lahum `Adhābun 'Alīmun
And Shaitān (Satan) will say when the matter has been decided: "Verily, Allāh promised you a promise of truth. And I too promised you, but I betrayed you. I had no authority over you except that I called you, so you responded to me. So blame me not, but blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can you help me. I deny your former act in associating me (Satan) as a partner with Allāh (by obeying me in the life of the world). Verily, there is a painful torment for the Zālimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.)." (Ibrahim 14:22)
Wa 'Udkhila Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Wa `Amilū Aş-Şāliĥāti Jannātin Tajrī Min Taĥtihā Al-'AnhāruKhālidīna Fīhā Bi'idhni Rabbihim ۖ Taĥīyatuhum Fīhā Salāmun
And those who believed (in the Oneness of Allāh and His Messengers and whatever they brought) and did righteous deeds, will be made to enter Gardens under which rivers flow, - to dwell therein forever (i.e.in Paradise), with the permission of their Lord. Their greeting therein will be: Salām (peace!). (Ibrahim 14:23)
See you not how Allāh sets forth a parable? - A goodly word as a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the sky (i.e. very high). (Ibrahim 14:24)
Yuthabbitu Allāhu Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Bil-Qawli Ath-Thābiti Fī Al-Ĥayāati Ad-Dunyā Wa Fī Al-'Ākhirati ۖ Wa Yuđillu Allāhu Až-Žālimīna ۚ Wa Yaf`alu Allāhu Mā Yashā'u
Allāh will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands firm in this world (i.e. they will keep on worshipping Allāh Alone and none else), and in the Hereafter. And Allāh will cause to go astray those who are Zālimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.), and Allāh does what He wills. (Ibrahim 14:27)
Have you not seen those who have changed the Blessings of Allāh into disbelief (by denying Prophet Muhammad SAW and his Message of Islām), and caused their people to dwell in the house of destruction? (Ibrahim 14:28)
And they set up rivals to Allāh, to mislead (men) from His Path! Say: "Enjoy (your brief life)! But certainly, your destination is the (Hell) Fire!" (Ibrahim 14:30)
Qul Li`ibādiya Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Yuqīmū Aş-Şalāata Wa Yunfiqū Mimmā Razaqnāhum Sirrāan Wa `Alāniyatan MinQabli 'An Ya'tiya Yawmun Lā Bay`un Fīhi Wa Lā Khilālun
Say (O Muhammad SAW) to 'Ibādī (My slaves) who have believed, that they should perform As-Salāt (Iqāmat-as-Salāt), and spend in charity out of the sustenance We have given them, secretly and openly, before the coming of a Day on which there will be neither mutual bargaining nor befriending. (Ibrahim 14:31)
Al-Lahu Al-Ladhī Khalaqa As-Samāwāti Wa Al-'Arđa Wa 'Anzala Mina As-Samā'i Mā'an Fa'akhraja Bihi Mina Ath-Thamarāti Rizqāan Lakum ۖ Wa Sakhkhara Lakumu Al-Fulka Litajriya Fī Al-Baĥri Bi'amrihi ۖ Wa Sakhkhara Lakumu Al-'Anhāra
Allāh is He Who has created the heavens and the earth and sends down water (rain) from the sky, and thereby brought forth fruits as provision for you; and He has made the ships to be of service to you, that they may sail through the sea by His Command; and He has made rivers (also) to be of service to you. (Ibrahim 14:32)
Wa Sakhkhara Lakumu Ash-Shamsa Wa Al-Qamara Dā'ibayni ۖ Wa Sakhkhara Lakumu Al-Layla Wa An-Nahār
And He has made the sun and the moon, both constantly pursuing their courses, to be of service to you; and He has made the night and the day, to be of service to you. (Ibrahim 14:33)
Wa 'Ātākum Min Kulli Mā Sa'altumūhu ۚ Wa 'In Ta`uddū Ni`mata Allāhi Lā Tuĥşūhā ۗ 'Inna Al-'Insāna Lažalūmun Kaffārun
And He gave you of all that you asked for, and if you count the Blessings of Allāh, never will you be able to count them. Verily! Man is indeed an extreme wrong-doer, - a disbeliever (an extreme ingrate, denies Allāh's Blessings by disbelief, and by worshipping others besides Allāh, and by disobeying Allāh and His Prophet Muhammad SAW). (Ibrahim 14:34)
Wa 'IdhQāla 'Ibrāhīmu Rabbi Aj`al Hādhā Al-Balada 'Āmināan Wa Ajnubnī Wa Banīya 'An Na`buda Al-'Aşnāma
And (remember) when Ibrāhim (Abraham) said: "O my Lord! Make this city (Makkah) one of peace and security, and keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols. (Ibrahim 14:35)
Rabbi 'Innahunna 'Ađlalna Kathīrāan Mina An-Nāsi ۖ Faman Tabi`anī Fa'innahu Minnī ۖ Wa Man `Aşānī Fa'innaka GhafūrunRaĥīmun
"O my Lord! They have indeed led astray many among mankind. But whoso follows me, he verily is of me. And whoso disobeys me, - still You are indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Ibrahim 14:36)

"O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in an uncultivable valley by Your Sacred House (the Ka'bah at Makkah); in order, O our Lord, that they may perform As-Salāt (Iqāmat-as-Salāt), so fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and (O Allāh) provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks. (Ibrahim 14:37)
"All the praises and thanks be to Allāh, Who has given me in old age Ismā'il (Ishmael) and Ishāque (Isaac). Verily! My Lord is indeed the All-Hearer of invocations. (Ibrahim 14:39)
Consider not that Allāh is unaware of that which the Zālimûn (polytheists, wrong-doers, etc.) do, but He gives them respite up to a Day when the eyes will stare in horror. (Ibrahim 14:42)
Muhţi`īna Muqni`ī Ru'ūsihim Lā Yartaddu 'IlayhimŢarfuhum ۖ Wa 'Af'idatuhum Hawā'un
(They will be) hastening forward with necks outstretched, their heads raised up (towards the sky), their gaze returning not towards them and their hearts empty (from thinking because of extreme fear). (Ibrahim 14:43)
Wa 'Andhiri An-Nāsa Yawma Ya'tīhimu Al-`Adhābu Fayaqūlu Al-Ladhīna Žalamū Rabbanā 'Akhkhirnā 'Ilá 'AjalinQarībin Nujib Da`wataka Wa Nattabi`i Ar-Rusula ۗ 'Awalam Takūnū 'Aqsamtum MinQablu Mā Lakum Min Zawālin
And warn (O Muhammad SAW) mankind of the Day when the torment will come unto them; then the wrong-doers will say: "Our Lord! Respite us for a little while, we will answer Your Call and follow the Messengers!" (It will be said): "Had you not sworn aforetime that you would not leave (the world for the Hereafter). (Ibrahim 14:44)
Wa Sakantum Fī Masākini Al-Ladhīna Žalamū 'Anfusahum Wa Tabayyana Lakum Kayfa Fa`alnā Bihim Wa Đarabnā Lakumu Al-'Amthāla
"And you dwelt in the dwellings of men who wronged themselves, and it was clear to you how We had dealt with them. And We put forth (many) parables for you." (Ibrahim 14:45)
Wa Qad Makarū Makrahum Wa `Inda Allāhi Makruhum Wa 'In Kāna Makruhum Litazūla Minhu Al-Jibālu
Indeed, they planned their plot, and their plot was with Allāh, though their plot was a great (one, still) it would never be able to remove the mountains (real mountains or the Islāmic law) from their places (as it is of no importance) [Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Vol. 2, Page 597]. [It is said by some interpreters regarding this Verse that the Quraish pagans plotted against Prophet Muhammad SAW to kill him but they failed and were unable to carry out their plot which they plotted]. (Ibrahim 14:46)
Yawma Tubaddalu Al-'Arđu Ghayra Al-'Arđi Wa As-Samāwātu ۖ Wa Barazū Lillāh Al-Wāĥidi Al-Qahhāri
On the Day when the earth will be changed to another earth and so will be the heavens, and they (all creatures) will appear before Allāh, the One, the Irresistible. (Ibrahim 14:48)
Wa Tará Al-Mujrimīna Yawma'idhin Muqarranīna Fī Al-'Aşfādi
And you will see the Mujrimûn (criminals, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allāh Islāmic Monotheism, polytheists, disobedient to Allāh, etc.) that Day bound together in fetters; [Muqarranûn in fetters; mean:- with their hands and feet tied to their necks with chains.] (Ibrahim 14:49)
Hādhā Balāghun Lilnnāsi Wa Liyundharū Bihi Wa Liya`lamū 'Annamā Huwa 'Ilahun Wāĥidun Wa Liyadhdhakkara 'Ūlū Al-'Albābi
This (Qur'ān) is a Message for mankind (and a clear proof against them), in order that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is the only One Ilāh (God - Allāh) - (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh), and that men of understanding may take heed. (Ibrahim 14:52)
