فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا

but they called him a liar and hamstrung her. Their Lord destroyed them for their crime and levelled them.

إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ

but for the sake of his Lord the Most High––

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ

your Lord has not forsaken you [Prophet], nor does He hate you,

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ

تَنَزَّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ

on that night the angels and the Spirit descend again and again with their Lord’s permission on every task;

جَزَآؤُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّـٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا ۖ رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِىَ رَبَّهُۥ

Their reward with their Lord is everlasting Gardens graced with flowing streams, where they will stay forever. God is well pleased with them and they with Him. All this is for those who stand in awe of their Lord.

بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا

because your Lord will inspire it [to do so].

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌ

man is ungrateful to his Lord––

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌۢ

their Lord will be fully aware of them all?

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ

Do you [Prophet] not see how your Lord dealt with the army of the elephant?

فَلْيَعْبُدُوا۟ رَبَّ هَـٰذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ

So let them worship the Lord of this House:

فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَٱنْحَرْ

so pray to your Lord and make your sacrifice to Him alone––

فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَٱسْتَغْفِرْهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ تَوَّابًۢا

celebrate the praise of your Lord and ask His forgiveness: He is always ready to accept repentance.

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ

Say [Prophet], ‘I seek refuge with the Lord of daybreak

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ

Say, ‘I seek refuge with the Lord of people,
