SURAH AL-AMBIYA
21. SURAH AL-AMBIYA (THE
PROPHETS)
(This Surah is Makkan, containing
112 verses and 7 sections)
Allah’s Name to commence
with, the Most Gracious, the
Most Merciful.
21:1. The reckoning of the
people is near, and they have
turned their faces in negligence.
21:2, When new advice comes
to them from their Lord;
consequently, they do not listen
to it except in a playful manner.
21:3. Their hearts are involved
in play, and the unjust
consulted with each other
secretly; that ‘Who is this, is he
merely another a human like
you? So, do you go to (him
because of his) magic whilst
you are seeing (it)?!
21:4, The Beloved Prophet
(Muhammad) said, ‘My Lord
knows every word (spoken) in
the heavens and in the earth,
and only He is the All-Hearing,
the All-Knowing.’
(revelations) are confusing dreams;
rather, it is his fabrication. Rather,
he is a poet; (if he is a Prophet) he
must therefore bring us some sign,
just like the former had been sent
(with miracles).
21:6. No (people of any) town
which We destroyed before
them believed; so, will they
believe?
21:7. And We did not send
(Prophets) before you except
men, to whom We = sent
revelations. Therefore, O
people! Ask the people of
knowledge if you do not know.
21:8, And We did not create them
as mere bodies that ate no food,
and (nor did we make them) to
live in the world forever.
21:9. We then fulfilled Our
promise to them; We
henceforth rescued them and
whoever (else) We willed, and
destroyed the transgressors.
21:10. We have indeed sent
down towards you a Book (O
people of Quraish), in which is
your (potential) glorification;
so, do you not have sense?
21:11. And how many towns
We have destroyed that were
unjust, and We created another
nation after them.
21:12. And when they received
Our punishment, they
immediately started fleeing
therefrom.
21:13. ‘Do not flee, and return to
the comforts that were given to
you and to your homes;
perhaps you will be asked.’
21:14. They said, ‘Woe to us!
We were indeed unjust.’
21:15. So, they kept saying this
until We made them cut-off
(i.e. like chopped-off crop),
extinguished.
21:16. And We have not created
the heavens and the earth and
what is between them in vain.
21:17. (Hypothetically) had We
willed to choose any amusement,
We could have chosen it from
Ourselves, if We wanted to do
21:18. Rather, We _ strike
falsehood with the truth, it
therefore knocks out its brains;
thereupon it vanishes. And woe
to you for those utterances which
you fabricate (concerning Allah).
21:19. And only to Him belong
all those who are in the heavens
and in the earth, and those
(angels) with Him are not
arrogant towards worshipping
Him, nor do they tire.
21:20. They glorify Him night
and day; and they are not lazy
(in this regard).
21:21. Have they appointed
from the earth some such gods;
that they create something?
21:22. If there were gods other
than Allah in the heavens and
the earth, they would have
therefore definitely been
destroyed. Thus, Purity be to
Allah; Master of the Throne,
from the matters that they
fabricate.
21:23. He (Allah) is not to be
questioned what He does, and
they (the people) will all be
questioned.
21:24. Have they taken other
gods except Allah? Say you (O
Beloved), Bring your proof. This
Qur’aan is the remembrance of
those who are with me and the
remembrance of those before
me.’ Rather, most of them do not
know the truth; hence, they turn
away (from it).
21:25. And We did not send any
Messenger before you but We
would reveal to him that ‘There
is no god except Me; hence,
only worship Me.’
21:26, And they (the disbelievers)
21:27. They do not precede Him
in speech, and they act upon
only His command.
21:28. He knows what is in
front of them and what is
behind them, and they do not
intercede except for him whom
He (Allah) likes, and they are in
fear of His Awe.
21:29. And the one amongst
them who says, ‘I am a god
other than Allah,’ We shall
consequently recompense him
with Hell; this is how We
punish the transgressors.
21:30. Did the disbelievers not
perceive that the heavens and
the earth were closed up (as
one piece), We henceforth
opened (i.e. parted) them, and
We made every living thing
from water. So, will they not
believe?
21:31. And We have placed
(mountains as) anchors in the
earth, that it may not tremble
with them (people). And We
kept wide paths therein, that
they may find their way.
21:32. And We have made the
sky a protected roof; and they
turn away from its signs (i.e.
sun, moon, wind, clouds, etc.).
21:33. And it is He Who created
the night and the day, and the
sun and the moon; each one
floats in an orbit.
21:34. And, before you, We did
not make in the world a never-
ending life for any human. So,
will they remain eternally if
you (O Beloved) depart (from
this world)?
21:35. Every soul must taste the
flavour of death, and We test
you with evil and with good for
a trial, and only to Us are you
to return.
21:36. And when the
disbelievers see you, they do
not take you but as a mockery
(saying to each other), ‘Is he the
one who speaks ill of your
gods?! And they deny the
remembrance of the Most
Gracious.
21:37. Mankind has been made
to be hasty. I shall now show
you My signs; do not be hasty
with Me.
21:38. And they say, ‘When will
this promise (of punishment)
occur, if you are truthful?’
21:39. Had the disbelievers
somehow known the time
when they will not be able to
stop the Fire from their faces,
and nor from their backs, and
nor are they to be helped.
21:40. Rather, it will come upon
them suddenly; it will hence
make them dumbfounded; they
will then not be able to reverse it,
nor will they be given respite.
21:41. And _ indeed, the
Messengers before you were
mocked but the mockery of
those who mocked
encompassed themselves.
21:42. Say you (O Beloved), ‘Who
guards you night and day from
(the punishment of) the Most
Gracious?! Rather, they have
turned away their faces from the
remembrance of their Lord.
21:43. Do they have some gods
who protect them from Us?
They cannot save themselves,
nor do they have an alliance
with Us.
21:44. Rather, We have given
those (disbelievers) and their
forefathers a benefit to the extent
that life became long for them.
So, do they not see that We are
reducing the land (of the
disbelievers) from its borders (by
giving victory to the believers)?
So, will they be dominant?
21:45. Say you (O Beloved), 1
warn you only through revelation,
and the deaf do not hear the call
when they are warned.’
21:46. And if a breath of your
Lord’s punishment was to touch
them, they would hence
definitely say, ‘Woe to us! We
were indeed unjust.’
21:47. And We shall establish
the scales of justice on the Day
of Resurrection, no soul will
therefore be wronged in the
least. And if there be anythi
even equal to a mustar mat
We will henceforth bring it, and
We are Sufficient to take
account.
21:48. And We indeed gave
Moosa and Haaroon judgement
(ie. the Tawrah), and light, and
advice for the pious.
21:49. Those who fear their
Lord without seeing and they
are afraid of the Last Day.
This is a_ blessed
remembrance which We have
sent down. Are you deniers
thereof?
21:51. And We indeed bestowed
upon Ibrahim his righteous
path from the beginning, and
We were Aware of him.
21:52. When he said to his father
and his people, ‘What are these
idols in front of whom you are
sitting devotedly (to worship)?!
21:53. They said, ‘We found our
forefathers worshipping them.’
21:54. He (Ibrahim) _ said,
Indeed, you and your
forefathers are all in open
error.’
21:55. They said, ‘Have you
brought the truth to us, or are
you just playing?!
21:56. He said, ‘Rather, your
Lord is the Lord of the heavens
and the earth; the One Who
created them. And I am
amongst the witnesses to this.’
21:57. ‘And I swear an oath by
Allah, I shall seek to harm your
idols after you have turned
your backs.’
21:58. He therefore crushed
them all except the biggest
amongst them; that perhaps
they may question it.
21:59. They said, ‘Who has done
this to our gods? He is indeed
unjust.’
21:60. Some amongst them said,
‘We heard a young man speak
ill of them; the one called
Ibrahim.”
21:61. They said, ‘So, bring him
in front of the people; perhaps
they may testify.’
21:62. They said, ‘Did you do
this to our gods, O Ibrahim?’
21:63. Said he, ‘Rather, this big
one from them must have done
it; so, question them, if they
21:64. They therefore turned to
themselves (realising their own
falsehood) and said (to one
another), ‘Indeed, only you are
unjust.’
21:65. They were then made to
reverse on their heads (ie.
baffled with embarrassment
and said); that ‘(O Ibrahim!)
You know well that they do not
speak.
21:66. He (Ibrahim) said, ‘Do
you worship other than Allah
who neither benefits you nor
harms you.’
21:67. ‘Shame on you and on
those idols whom you worship
instead of Allah; so, do you not
have intellect?’
21:68. They said, ‘Burn him and
help your gods, if you are to do
(something).
21:69. We said, ‘O fire! Become
cool and peaceful upon
Ibrahim.”
21:70. And they wished to
cause him harm, We
consequently made them the
greatest of losers.
21:71. And We rescued him and
Loot towards that land in
which We _ have placed
blessings for the worlds.
21:72. And We bestowed upon
him Is-haaq, and Ya’qoob; the
grandson (of Ibrahim), and We
made all of them worthy of Our
special proximity.
21:73. And We made them
leaders; that they call by Our
command, and We sent them
revelation to do good deeds,
and to keep Salah established
and to pay Zakah; and they
would worship Us.
21:74. And We gave Loot
governance and knowledge,
and We rescued him from (the
people of) that town which had
been doing evil deeds; indeed,
those evil people were
disobedient.
21:75. And We admitted him
into Our Mercy; indeed, he is
amongst those who deserve
Our special proximity.
21:76. And (remember) Nooh
when he called Us before this,
We henceforth answered his
supplication, and rescued him
and his household from the
extreme calamity.
21:77. And We helped him
against the people who belied
Our verses; indeed, they were
evil people, We consequently
drowned them all.
21:78. And remember Dawood
and Sulaimaan; when they were
deciding the dispute of a crop-
field, when some people’s goats
had strayed therein at night;
and We were Present (with Our
knowledge and power) at the
time of their judgement.
21:79. And We made Sulaimaan
understand the matter (of the
goats), and to both We ae
kingdom and knowledge, and
made the mountains subservient
that they would Purity
along with Dawood, and (also
subjected) the birds; and these
were Our actions.
21:80. And We taught him
(Dawood) to make a garment
(i.e. armour) for you, to protect
you from your injury (in wars).
So, will you be grateful?
21:81. And We made the strong
wind subservient to Sulaimaan,
that it would blow by his
command towards the land in
which We have placed blessing;
and We know everything.
21:82. And amongst the devils
were those who would dive (in
the water) for him and would
do works other than this; and
We had kept them restrained.
21:83. And (remember) Ayyoob
(Job), when he called his Lord;
that ‘Distress has afflicted me,
and You are the Most Merciful
of all those who show mercy.’
21:84. We henceforth answered
his supplication; so, We removed
the adversity that had afflicted
him, and We gave him his
family, and in addition,
bestowed along with them more
of a similar number by Mercy
from Ourselves, and advice for
the people who worship.
21:85. And (remember)
Isma’eel, and Idrees and Zul-
Kifl; all of them were patient.
21:86. And We admitted them
into Our Mercy; indeed, they
are amongst those who deserve
Our special closeness.
21:87. And (remember) Zun-
Noon {ie. the Prophet Yunus)
when he departed full of anger,
assuming that We would not
restrict him; he therefore called
out in (the realms of) darkness,
‘There is no god except You;
Glory be to You. Indeed, an out-
of-place (act) occurred from me.’
21:88. We henceforth heard his
call and rescued him from grief,
and We shall similarly rescue
the Muslims.
21:89. And (remember) Zakariyya
when he called his Lord, ‘0 my
Lord, do not leave me alone (ie.
childless), and You are the Best
Inheritor (i.e. Eternal).’
21:90. We henceforth accepted his
supplication, and bestowed upon
him Yahya, and improved the
condition of his wife for him (ie.
good deeds, and they
to Us with hope and fear, and are
humble in Our Majestic Court.
21:91. And remember the Lady
(Maryam) who guarded her
chastity, We henceforth breathed
Our (Special) Spirit into her and
made her and her son a sign for
the entire world.
21:92. Indeed, this religion of yours
(ie. Islam) is the one religion (of
all the Prophets), and I am your
Lord; hence, worship Me.
21:93. And others have split up
their matter (i.e. religion) into
pieces amongst themselves. All
are to return to Us.
21:94. So, whosoever does some
good deeds and is a believer,
his effort will not therefore be
disregarded; and We are
recording it.
21:95. And it is unlawful for
(the people of) such a town
which We have destroyed that
they may return back.
21:96. Until the time when
Ya’jooj and Maljooj will be
released, and they will be
coming down from every height.
21:97. And the true promise (of
the Day of Judgement) has
come near, the eyes of the
disbelievers will thereupon
remain wide open, (saying) that
‘Woe to us! Undoubtedly, we
were heedless of this; rather,
we were unjust.’
21:98. ‘Indeed, you and all that
you worship other than Allah
are the fuel of Hell; you are to
go therein.’
21:99. ‘Had these been gods,
they would not have gone into
Hell, and they are all to abide
therein forever.’
21:100. They will bray (like
donkeys) therein and not be
able to hear anything in it.
21:101. Indeed, those to whom
Our promise of goodness (i.e.
Paradise) has been made, they
have been kept far away from
Hell.
21:102. And they will not hear
its faintest sound, and they will
forever abide in (bounties)
which their hearts desire.
21:103. The greatest fear will not
aggrieve them, and the angels
will welcome them; (saying)
that ‘This is that Day of yours
which you were promised.’
21:104. The Day when We shall
roll up the heavens as the angel
Sijill rolls up the books of deeds.
Just like We made it first, We
shall similarly restore it; this is a
promise upon Our responsibility,
We shall certainly do it.
21:105. And We indeed wrote,
after the admonition in the
Zaboor, that ‘My virtuous
bondsmen will inherit this
earth.’
21:106. Indeed, this Qur’aan is
sufficient for the worshippers.
21:107. And We did not send
you (O Beloved) but as mercy
for all the worlds.
21:108. Say you (O Beloved), ‘I
receive only this revelation; that
you have no god but One
Allah, do you therefore become
Muslims?”
21:109. Then, if they turn away
their faces (from Islam); so, say
(O Beloved), ‘I have declared a
war against you on equal terms,
and what do I know (without
being informed by Allah)
whether the promise which is
given to you is close or afar?!
21:110. Indeed, Allah knows
whatever is said loudly, and
knows what you conceal.’
21:111. ‘And what do I know
(on my own accord); it may be
a trial for you, and an
enjoyment for just a while.’
21:112. And the Beloved Prophet
(Muhammad) submitted that ‘O
my Lord, make true judgement
(between me and the deniers).
And only the help of our Lord;
the Most Gracious, is required
against that which you fabricate.’
