Surah Ash-Shu'araa
سُورَةُ الشُّعَرَاءِ
Page 372 (Verses from 112 to 136)
قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِى بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّى ۖ لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ
وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
إِنْ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْجُومِينَ
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى كَذَّبُونِ
فَٱفْتَحْ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًا وَنَجِّنِى وَمَن مَّعِىَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
فَأَنجَيْنَٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
أَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ ءَايَةً تَعْبَثُونَ
وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَ
وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُم بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَ
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَ
أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنْعَٰمٍ وَبَنِينَ
وَجَنَّٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
قَالُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَآ أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْوَٰعِظِينَ
