Surah Al Anbiya
Ayah-112, Makkah
21:11
وَكَمۡ قَصَمۡنَا مِن قَرۡيَةٍ كَانَتۡ ظَالِمَةً وَأَنشَأۡنَا بَعۡدَهَا قَوۡمًا ءَاخَرِينَ١١
Saheeh International
And how many a city which was unjust have We shattered and produced after it another people.
21:12
فَلَمَّآ أَحَسُّواۡ بَأۡسَنَآ إِذَا هُم مِّنۡهَا يَرۡكُضُونَ١٢
Saheeh International
And when its inhabitants perceived Our punishment, at once they fled from it.
21:13
لَا تَرۡكُضُواۡ وَٱرۡجِعُوٓاۡ إِلَىٰ مَآ أُتۡرِفۡتُمۡ فِيهِ وَمَسَٰكِنِكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُسۡــَٔلُونَ١٣
Saheeh International
[Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes - perhaps you will be questioned."
21:14
قَالُواۡ يَٰوَيۡلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ١٤
Saheeh International
They said, "O woe to us! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."
21:15
فَمَا زَالَت تِّلۡكَ دَعۡوَٮٰهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ جَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ حَصِيدًا خَٰمِدِينَ١٥
Saheeh International
And that declaration of theirs did not cease until We made them [as] a harvest [mowed down], extinguished [like a fire].
21:16
وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ١٦
Saheeh International
And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play.
21:17
لَوۡ أَرَدۡنَآ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ لَهۡوًا لَّٱتَّخَذۡنَٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّآ إِن كُنَّا فَٰعِلِينَ١٧
Saheeh International
Had We intended to take a diversion, We could have taken it from [what is] with Us - if [indeed] We were to do so.
21:18
بَلۡ نَقۡذِفُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ عَلَى ٱلۡبَٰطِلِ فَيَدۡمَغُهُۥ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌۚ وَلَكُمُ ٱلۡوَيۡلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ١٨
Saheeh International
Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you describe.
21:19
وَلَهُۥ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَمَنۡ عِندَهُۥ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَلَا يَسۡتَحۡسِرُونَ١٩
Saheeh International
To Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those near Him are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, nor do they tire.
21:20
يُسَبِّحُونَ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ لَا يَفۡتُرُونَ٢٠
Saheeh International
They exalt [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken.
21:21
أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُوٓاۡ ءَالِهَةً مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ هُمۡ يُنشِرُونَ٢١
Saheeh International
Or have men taken for themselves gods from the earth who resurrect [the dead]?
21:22
لَوۡ كَانَ فِيهِمَآ ءَالِهَةٌ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ لَفَسَدَتَاۚ فَسُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ٢٢
Saheeh International
Had there been within the heavens and earth gods besides Allah, they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allah, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.
21:23
لَا يُسۡــَٔلُ عَمَّا يَفۡعَلُ وَهُمۡ يُسۡــَٔلُونَ٢٣
Saheeh International
He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.
21:24
أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُواۡ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةًۖ قُلۡ هَاتُواۡ بُرۡهَٰنَكُمۡۖ هَٰذَا ذِكۡرُ مَن مَّعِىَ وَذِكۡرُ مَن قَبۡلِىۗ بَلۡ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٱلۡحَقَّۖ فَهُم مُّعۡرِضُونَ٢٤
Saheeh International
Or have they taken gods besides Him? Say, [O Muhammad], "Produce your proof. This [Qur'an] is the message for those with me and the message of those before me." But most of them do not know the truth, so they are turning away.
