الطور
The Mount
Explanations are simplified from tafsirs by Ibn Kathir, Mufti Muhammad Shafi, and Maulana Wahiduddin Khan. Spot an inaccuracy? Let us know.
am ʿindahumu l-ghaybu fahum yaktubūna
Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?
am yurīdūna kaydan fa-alladhīna kafarū humu l-makīdūna
Or do they intend a plan? But those who disbelieve - they are the object of a plan.
am lahum ilāhun ghayru l-lahi sub'ḥāna l-lahi ʿammā yush'rikūna
Or have they a deity other than Allāh? Exalted is Allāh above whatever they associate with Him.
wa-in yaraw kis'fan mina l-samāi sāqiṭan yaqūlū saḥābun markūmun
And if they were to see a fragment from the sky falling, they would say, "[It is merely] clouds heaped up."
fadharhum ḥattā yulāqū yawmahumu alladhī fīhi yuṣ'ʿaqūna
So leave them until they meet their Day in which they will be struck insensible -
yawma lā yugh'nī ʿanhum kayduhum shayan walā hum yunṣarūna
The Day their plan will not avail them at all, nor will they be helped.
wa-inna lilladhīna ẓalamū ʿadhāban dūna dhālika walākinna aktharahum lā yaʿlamūna
And indeed, for those who have wronged is a punishment before that, but most of them do not know.
wa-iṣ'bir liḥuk'mi rabbika fa-innaka bi-aʿyuninā wasabbiḥ biḥamdi rabbika ḥīna taqūmu
And be patient, [O Muḥammad], for the decision of your Lord, for indeed, you are in Our eyes [i.e., sight]. And exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord when you arise
wamina al-layli fasabbiḥ'hu wa-id'bāra l-nujūmi
And in a part of the night exalt Him and after [the setting of] the stars.
