SURAH AL-HIJR
SURAH AL-HIJR
(THE ROCKY TRACT)
(This Surah is Makkan, containing
99 verses and 6 sections)
Allah’s Name to commence with, the
Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
15:1. Alif-Laam-Ra. (These are
individual letters of the Arabic
alphabet; Allah and _ His
Messenger know their exact
meanings.) These are the verses
of the Book and the Luminous
15:2. The disbelievers will
eagerly desire that if only they
had been Muslims.
15:3. Leave them to eat and
enjoy (life), and the hope (to live
long) leads them to amusement;
so, they will soon come to know.
15:4. And every town that We
destroyed had a known written
decree for it.
15:5. No group may advance its
appointed promise nor can it
fall behind.
15:6. And they (the disbelievers)
said, ‘O the one upon whom the
Qur’aan has been sent, you are
indeed insane-.’
15:7. ‘Why do you not bring
angels to us, if you are
truthful?’
15:8. We do not send down
angels in vain; and if they
(angels) descend, they (the
disbelievers) would hence not
get any respite.
15:9. Indeed, We have sent
down this Qur’aan, and indeed,
We Ourselves are its Protector.
15:10. And We indeed sent
Messengers before you to the
previous nations.
15:11. And never does a
Messenger come to them but
they mock him.
15:12. This is how We cause the
mockery to enter the hearts of
the culprits.
15:13. They do not believe in
him, and. the tradition of earlier
nations has passed on (that
they were in the same kind of
habit of mocking).
15:14. And if We open for them a
gate in the heaven; that they may
ascend into it during the day (so,
they would still not believe).
15:15. Even then they would
say, ‘Our sights have been
restricted; rather, we have been
bewitched by magic.’
15:16. And We indeed created
towers in the skies, and
beautified it for the beholders.
15:17. And We have kept it
guarded from every accursed
devil.
15:18. Except the one who goes
to listen stealthily, a blazing
flame henceforth pursues him.
15:19. And We spread out the
earth, and placed (mountains
as) anchors in it, and therein
grew everything by a (proper)
measure.
15:20. And created livelihoods
for you therein, and created
those for whom you do not
provide sustenance.
15:21. And there is not a thing,
treasures of which We do not
possess. And We do not send it
down except by a known
measure.
15:22. And We sent the winds
that fill the clouds with water,
We henceforth caused the
water to come down from the
sky, then gave it to you to
drink. And you are not at all its
treasurers.
15:23. And it is indeed We Who
give life and it is We Who cause
death, and only We are the
Inheritor (Le. Owner, after their
destruction).
15:24. And We indeed know
those amongst you who went
forward, and We indeed know
those amongst you who
remained behind.
15:25. And indeed, only your
Lord will raise them all on the
Day of Resurrection. Indeed,
only He is Ever Wise, All-
Knowing.
15:26. Indeed, We created man
from (dry) sound-emitting clay,
which was in reality black
reeking mud.
15:27. And created Jinn before
him, from smokeless fire.
15:28. And recall when your
Lord said to the angels that ‘I
am about to create man from
sound-emitting clay, which is
from black reeking mud.’
15:29. ‘Henceforth, when I have
finished shaping him and
breathed into him from Myself
a distinct honourable soul, you
should therefore fall down to
him in prostration.’
15:30. So, all the angels; each
and every one of them, fell
down in prostration.
15:31. Except Iblees (Satan); he
refused to be amongst those
who prostrated.
15:32, Said Allah, ‘O Iblees!
What happened to you that you
stayed apart from those who
prostrated?!
15:33. He said, ‘It does not befit
me to prostrate to a human
being whom You have created
from. sound-emitting clay, which
was from black reeking mud.’
15:34. Said Allah, ‘So, get out
from Paradise! That you are the
rejected one.’
15:35. ‘And you are indeed
accursed until the Day of
Judgement!”
15:36. He said, ‘0 My Lord!
Grant me respite till the Day
when they are to be raised.’
15:37. Said Allah, ‘You are of
those who are given respite.’
15:38. ‘Till the Day of that
known time.’
15:39. He said, ‘O my Lord, I
swear by this (assumption of
mine) that You led me astray. I
will distract them in the earth
and I will lead them all astray.’
15:40. ‘Except those amongst
them who are Your chosen
bondsmen.’
15:41. Said Allah, ‘This path
leads straight towards Me.’
15:42. ‘Indeed, you do not have
any control over My bondsmen
except those misguided ones
who follow you.”
15:43. And Hell is indeed the
promise for all of them.
15:45. Indeed, those who fear
(Allah) are in the Gardens and
fountains.
15:46. ‘Enter in them with
peace, in safety.’
15:47, And We have extracted
out all malice which was in
their chests; they are brothers,
sitting face to face upon thrones.
15:48. Neither any sorrow is to
reach them in it, nor are they to
be banished from it.
15:49. Inform My bondsmen
that undoubtedly only I am the
Most Forgiving, the Most
Merciful.
15:50. And only My punishment
is painful punishment.
15:51. And inform them of
Ibrahim’s guests.
15:52. When. they (the angels)
came to him and said, ‘Salaam’,
mend real he wlsiaspalgs
15:53. They said, ‘Do not fear,
we give you glad tidings of a
knowledgeable boy.’
15:54, He said, ‘Do you give me
glad tidings upon (this fact)
that old age has reached me?
So, of what do you give glad
tidings?!
15:55. They said, ‘We have
given you true glad tidings; do
not lose hope.
15:56. He said, ‘Who can be
disappointed from the Mercy of
his Lord except those who
became misguided?!
15:57. He said, ‘Then (now)
what is your task, O angels?’
15:58. They said, ‘We have been
sent towards a sinning nation.’
we shall rescue all of them.’
15:60. ‘Except his wife; we have
decided (with the command of
Allah) that she is of those who
will stay behind.’
15:61. So, when the angels came
to the family of Loot.
15:62. He said, ‘You are some
kind of strange people.’
15:63. They said, ‘Rather, we
have brought to you that
(punishment) in which these
people were doubtful.’
15:64. ‘And we have brought to
you a true command, and we
are indeed truthful.’
15:65. ‘Therefore, go out with
your family whilst a part of the
night remains, and you walk
behind them, and none of you
should turn around to see. And
proceed straight to the place
you are commanded to.’
15:66. And We informed him
the decision of this command;
that in the morning the root of
15:67. And the people of the
city came rejoicing (to the
house of the Prophet Loot with
evil intent).
15:68. Loot said, ‘These are my
guests, do not disgrace me.’
15:69. ‘And fear Allah, and do
not humiliate me.’
15:70. They said, ‘Had we not
forbidden you from interfering
in the matters of others?!
15:71. He said, ‘These women of
our nation are my daughters, if
you must do (marry them and
fulfil your desire in the proper
manner).’
15:72. O Beloved, by the oath of
your life; they are indeed
wandering about in _ their
intoxication (of misguidance).
15:73. So, the (deafening) scream
overcame them at sunrise.
15:74. So, We made the upper
side of that town its lower side
(ie. capsized it) and showered
upon them stones of baked clay.
15:75. Indeed, in this are signs
for people who have insight.
15:76. And that town is indeed
upon a path which is still
functional.
15:77. Indeed, in this are signs
for the believers.
15:78. And the Bush-dwellers
(ie. the nation of the Prophet
Shu’ayb) were indeed definitely
unjust.
15:79. We henceforth took
revenge from them; and both of
these towns are indeed situated
on an open path.
15:80. And the people of Hijr
(ie. the rocky tract) indeed
belied the Messengers.
15:81. And We gave them Our
signs, and they kept their faces
turned away from them.
15:82. And they used to carve
out houses in the mountains,
without fear.
15:83. So, the (deafening) scream
overcame them in the morning.
15:84. Therefore, their earnings
did not benefit them in the least.
15:85. And We have not created
the heavens and the earth and
whatever is between them in
vain. And indeed, the Last Day
is coming; therefore (O
Beloved), pardon graciously.
15:86. Indeed, only your Lord is
the Great Creator, the All-
Knowing.
15:87. And We have indeed given
you seven verses (ie. Surah
Fatihah) which are often repeated,
and the Glorious Qur’aan.
15:88. Do not lift your eyes;
looking towards that thing (i.e.
worldly comforts) which We
have given to some pairs (of
disbelievers) to enjoy, and do
not at all grieve over them, and
take the Muslims within the
wings of your mercy (i.e. bless
them with your kindness).
15:89. And say (O Beloved); that
‘Only I am a clear Warner (of
that punishment).’
15:90. Like the one We sent
down upon the dividers (the
Jews and the Christians).
15:91. (They are) those who
made the Divine Word into
Pieces.
15:92. So, by your Lord, We
shall definitely question them
all.
15:93. (About) whatever they
used to do.
15:94. Therefore, _ publicly
announce what you are
commanded, and turn away
(your) face from the polytheists.
15:95. Indeed, We are sufficient
for you against these mockers.
15:96. Those who ascribe
another deity along with Allah;
they will henceforth soon come
to know.
15:97. And We indeed know
that you become disheartened
by what they say.
15:98. Therefore, glorify your
Lord whilst praising Him, and
be amongst those who
prostrate.
15:99. And remain worshipping
your Lord, until death.
