68:21
In the morning they called out to one another:
فَتَنَادَوْا مُصْبِح۪ينَۙ
|
68:22
Come early to your crops if you are going to reap.
اَنِ اغْدُوا عَلٰى حَرْثِكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَارِم۪ينَ
|
68:23
So they set out, talking among themselves.
فَانْطَلَقُوا وَهُمْ يَتَخَافَتُونَۙ
|
68:24
"24- "Do not let any poor person enter there with you today."
اَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَنَّهَا الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِسْك۪ينٌ
|
68:25
They arrived early, sure of the result.
وَغَدَوْا عَلٰى حَرْدٍ قَادِر۪ينَ
|
68:26
"But when they saw the garden, they said, "We have gone astray."
فَلَمَّا رَاَوْهَا قَالُٓوا اِنَّا لَضَٓالُّونَۙ
|
68:27
No, indeed we have been deprived.
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ
|
68:28
"Their middle (righteous) ones said, "Did I not say to you? Should you not glorify your Lord?"
قَالَ اَوْسَطُهُمْ اَلَمْ اَقُلْ لَـكُمْ لَوْلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ
|
68:29
"They said, "Glorify our Lord. We were the wrongdoers."
قَالُوا سُبْحَانَ رَبِّنَٓا اِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِم۪ينَ
|
68:30
And immediately they began to accuse one another.
فَاَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ يَتَلَاوَمُونَ
|
68:31
"They said, "Woe to us. We were unruly."
قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَٓا اِنَّا كُنَّا طَاغ۪ينَ
|
68:32
Perhaps our Lord will give us something better. We turn to our Lord in hope.
عَسٰى رَبُّنَٓا اَنْ يُبْدِلَنَا خَيْراً مِنْهَٓا اِنَّٓا اِلٰى رَبِّنَا رَاغِبُونَ
|
68:33
Such is the torment. And the torment of the Hereafter is greater. If only they knew.
كَذٰلِكَ الْعَذَابُۜ وَلَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَكْبَرُۢ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ۟
|
68:34
The righteous have deserved gardens of blessing from their Lord.
اِنَّ لِلْمُتَّق۪ينَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتِ النَّع۪يمِ
|
68:35
Shall we treat Muslims like criminals?
اَفَنَجْعَلُ الْمُسْلِم۪ينَ كَالْمُجْرِم۪ينَۜ
|
68:36
What do you have, how do you judge?
مَا لَـكُمْ۠ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَۚ
|
68:37
Or do you have a Book and you keep reciting it?
اَمْ لَـكُمْ كِتَابٌ ف۪يهِ تَدْرُسُونَۙ
|
68:38
And you find in it whatever you wish?
اِنَّ لَـكُمْ ف۪يهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَۚ
|
68:39
Or have you taken from us an assurance that will last until the Day of Resurrection that you can judge as you wish?
اَمْ لَـكُمْ اَيْمَانٌ عَلَيْنَا بَالِغَةٌ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِۙ اِنَّ لَـكُمْ لَمَا تَحْكُمُونَۚ
|
68:40
"Ask them, "Who guarantees this?"
سَلْهُمْ اَيُّهُمْ بِذٰلِكَ زَع۪يمٌۚۛ
