Surah Al-Mu'minun Word by Word Translation, Transliteration with Audio

qad aflaḥa l-mu'minūna

Successful indeed are the believers:

alladhīna hum fī ṣalātihim khāshiʿūna

those who humble themselves in prayer;

wa-alladhīna hum ʿani l-laghwi muʿ'riḍūna

those who avoid idle talk;

wa-alladhīna hum lilzzakati fāʿilūna

those who pay alms-tax;

wa-alladhīna hum lifurūjihim ḥāfiẓūna

those who guard their chastity

illā ʿalā azwājihim aw mā malakat aymānuhum fa-innahum ghayru malūmīna

except with their wives or those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession, for then they are free from blame,

famani ib'taghā warāa dhālika fa-ulāika humu l-ʿādūna

but whoever seeks beyond that are the transgressors;

wa-alladhīna hum li-amānātihim waʿahdihim rāʿūna

˹the believers are also˺ those who are true to their trusts and covenants;

wa-alladhīna hum ʿalā ṣalawātihim yuḥāfiẓūna

and those who are ˹properly˺ observant of their prayers.

ulāika humu l-wārithūna

These are the ones who will be awarded

alladhīna yarithūna l-fir'dawsa hum fīhā khālidūna

Paradise as their own. They will be there forever.

walaqad khalaqnā l-insāna min sulālatin min ṭīnin

And indeed, We created humankind from an extract of clay,

thumma jaʿalnāhu nuṭ'fatan fī qarārin makīnin

then placed each ˹human˺ as a sperm-drop in a secure place,

thumma khalaqnā l-nuṭ'fata ʿalaqatan fakhalaqnā l-ʿalaqata muḍ'ghatan fakhalaqnā l-muḍ'ghata ʿiẓāman fakasawnā l-ʿiẓāma laḥman thumma anshanāhu khalqan ākhara fatabāraka l-lahu aḥsanu l-khāliqīna

then We developed the drop into a clinging clot, then developed the clot into a lump ˹of flesh˺, then developed the lump into bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, then We brought it into being as a new creation. So Blessed is Allah, the Best of Creators.

thumma innakum baʿda dhālika lamayyitūna

After that you will surely die,

thumma innakum yawma l-qiyāmati tub'ʿathūna

then on the Day of Judgment you will be resurrected.

walaqad khalaqnā fawqakum sabʿa ṭarāiqa wamā kunnā ʿani l-khalqi ghāfilīna

And indeed, We created above you seven levels ˹of heaven˺. We are never unmindful of ˹Our˺ creation.

wa-anzalnā mina l-samāi māan biqadarin fa-askannāhu fī l-arḍi wa-innā ʿalā dhahābin bihi laqādirūna

We send down rain from the sky in perfect measure, causing it to soak into the earth. And We are surely able to take it away.

fa-anshanā lakum bihi jannātin min nakhīlin wa-aʿnābin lakum fīhā fawākihu kathīratun wamin'hā takulūna

With it We produce for you gardens of palm trees and grapevines, in which there are abundant fruits, and from which you may eat,

washajaratan takhruju min ṭūri saynāa tanbutu bil-duh'ni waṣib'ghin lil'ākilīna

as well as ˹olive˺ trees which grow at Mount Sinai, providing oil and a condiment to eat.

wa-inna lakum fī l-anʿāmi laʿib'ratan nus'qīkum mimmā fī buṭūnihā walakum fīhā manāfiʿu kathīratun wamin'hā takulūna

And there is certainly a lesson for you in cattle, from whose bellies We give you ˹milk˺ to drink, and in them are many other benefits for you, and from them you may eat.

waʿalayhā waʿalā l-ful'ki tuḥ'malūna

And you are carried upon ˹some of˺ them and upon ships.

walaqad arsalnā nūḥan ilā qawmihi faqāla yāqawmi uʿ'budū l-laha mā lakum min ilāhin ghayruhu afalā tattaqūna

Indeed, We sent Noah to his people. He declared, “O my people! Worship Allah ˹alone˺. You have no god other than Him. Will you not then fear ˹Him˺?”

faqāla l-mala-u alladhīna kafarū min qawmihi mā hādhā illā basharun mith'lukum yurīdu an yatafaḍḍala ʿalaykum walaw shāa l-lahu la-anzala malāikatan mā samiʿ'nā bihādhā fī ābāinā l-awalīna

But the disbelieving chiefs of his people said ˹to the masses˺, “This is only a human like you, who wants to be superior to you. Had Allah willed, He could have easily sent down angels ˹instead˺. We have never heard of this in ˹the history of˺ our forefathers.

in huwa illā rajulun bihi jinnatun fatarabbaṣū bihi ḥattā ḥīnin

He is simply insane, so bear with him for a while.”

qāla rabbi unṣur'nī bimā kadhabūni

Noah prayed, “My Lord! Help me, because they have denied ˹me˺.”

fa-awḥaynā ilayhi ani iṣ'naʿi l-ful'ka bi-aʿyuninā wawaḥyinā fa-idhā jāa amrunā wafāra l-tanūru fa-us'luk fīhā min kullin zawjayni ith'nayni wa-ahlaka illā man sabaqa ʿalayhi l-qawlu min'hum walā tukhāṭib'nī fī alladhīna ẓalamū innahum mugh'raqūna

So We inspired him: “Build the Ark under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes and directions. Then when Our command comes and the oven bursts ˹with water˺, take on board a pair from every species along with your family—except those against whom the decree ˹to drown˺ has already been passed. And do not plead with Me for those who have done wrong, for they will surely be drowned.”

fa-idhā is'tawayta anta waman maʿaka ʿalā l-ful'ki faquli l-ḥamdu lillahi alladhī najjānā mina l-qawmi l-ẓālimīna

Then when you and those with you have settled in the Ark, say, “All praise is for Allah, Who saved us from the wrongdoing people.”

waqul rabbi anzil'nī munzalan mubārakan wa-anta khayru l-munzilīna

And pray, “My Lord! Allow me a blessed landing, for You are the best accommodator.”

inna fī dhālika laāyātin wa-in kunnā lamub'talīna

Surely in this are lessons. And We ˹always˺ put ˹people˺ to the test.
