وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مُّؤۡمِنٌࣗۖ مِّنۡ اٰلِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ يَكۡتُمُ اِيۡمَانَهٗ٘ اَتَقۡتُلُوۡنَ رَجُلًا اَنۡ يَّقُوۡلَ رَبِّيَ اللّٰهُ وَقَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ بِالۡبَيِّنٰتِ مِنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡؕ وَاِنۡ يَّكُ كَاذِبًا فَعَلَيۡهِ كَذِبُهٗۚ وَاِنۡ يَّكُ صَادِقًا يُّصِبۡكُمۡ بَعۡضُ الَّذِيۡ يَعِدُكُمۡؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهۡدِيۡ مَنۡ هُوَ مُسۡرِفٌ كَذَّابٌ
And a believing man from the family of Pharaoh who concealed his faith said, "Do you kill a man [merely] because he says, 'My Lord is Allah' while he has brought you clear proofs from your Lord? And if he should be lying, then upon him is [the consequence of] his lie; but if he should be truthful, there will strike you some of what he promises you. Indeed, Allah does not guide one who is a transgressor and a liar
Verse 40:29
يٰقَوۡمِ لَكُمُ الۡمُلۡكُ الۡيَوۡمَ ظٰهِرِيۡنَ فِي الۡاَرۡضِؗ فَمَنۡ يَّنۡصُرُنَا مِنۭۡ بَاۡسِ اللّٰهِ اِنۡ جَآءَنَاؕ قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ مَا٘ اُرِيۡكُمۡ اِلَّا مَا٘ اَرٰي وَمَا٘ اَهۡدِيۡكُمۡ اِلَّا سَبِيۡلَ الرَّشَادِ
O my people, sovereignty is yours today, [your being] dominant in the land. But who would protect us from the punishment of Allah if it came to us?" Pharaoh said, "I do not show you except what I see, and I do not guide you except to the way of right conduct
Verse 40:30
وَقَالَ الَّذِيۡ٘ اٰمَنَ يٰقَوۡمِ اِنِّيۡ٘ اَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ مِّثۡلَ يَوۡمِ الۡاَحۡزَابِۙ
And he who believed said, "O my people, indeed I fear for you [a fate] like the day of the companies
Verse 40:31
مِثۡلَ دَاۡبِ قَوۡمِ نُوۡحٍ وَّعَادٍ وَّثَمُوۡدَ وَالَّذِيۡنَ مِنۭۡ بَعۡدِهِمۡؕ وَمَا اللّٰهُ يُرِيۡدُ ظُلۡمًا لِّلۡعِبَادِ
Like the custom of the people of Noah and of 'Aad and Thamud and those after them. And Allah wants no injustice for [His] servants
Verse 40:32
وَيٰقَوۡمِ اِنِّيۡ٘ اَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ يَوۡمَ التَّنَادِۙ
And O my people, indeed I fear for you the Day of Calling
Verse 40:33
يَوۡمَ تُوَلُّوۡنَ مُدۡبِرِيۡنَۚ مَا لَكُمۡ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنۡ عَاصِمٍۚ وَمَنۡ يُّضۡلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنۡ هَادٍ
The Day you will turn your backs fleeing; there is not for you from Allah any protector. And whoever Allah leaves astray - there is not for him any guide
Verse 40:34
وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ يُوۡسُفُ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ بِالۡبَيِّنٰتِ فَمَا زِلۡتُمۡ فِيۡ شَكٍّ مِّمَّا جَآءَكُمۡ بِهٖؕ حَتّٰ٘ي اِذَا هَلَكَ قُلۡتُمۡ لَنۡ يَّبۡعَثَ اللّٰهُ مِنۭۡ بَعۡدِهٖ رَسُوۡلًاؕ كَذٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللّٰهُ مَنۡ هُوَ مُسۡرِفٌ مُّرۡتَابُۚۖ
And Joseph had already come to you before with clear proofs, but you remained in doubt of that which he brought to you, until when he died, you said, 'Never will Allah send a messenger after him.' Thus does Allah leave astray he who is a transgressor and skeptic
Verse 40:35
اِۨلَّذِيۡنَ يُجَادِلُوۡنَ فِيۡ٘ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ بِغَيۡرِ سُلۡطٰنٍ اَتٰىهُمۡؕ كَبُرَ مَقۡتًا عِنۡدَ اللّٰهِ وَعِنۡدَ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡاؕ كَذٰلِكَ يَطۡبَعُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰي كُلِّ قَلۡبِ مُتَكَبِّرٍ جَبَّارٍ
Those who dispute concerning the signs of Allah without an authority having come to them - great is hatred [of them] in the sight of Allah and in the sight of those who have believed. Thus does Allah seal over every heart [belonging to] an arrogant tyrant
Verse 40:36
وَقَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ يٰهَامٰنُ ابۡنِ لِيۡ صَرۡحًا لَّعَلِّيۡ٘ اَبۡلُغُ الۡاَسۡبَابَۙ
And Pharaoh said, "O Haman, construct for me a tower that I might reach the ways
Verse 40:37
اَسۡبَابَ السَّمٰوٰتِ فَاَطَّلِعَ اِلٰ٘ي اِلٰهِ مُوۡسٰي وَاِنِّيۡ لَاَظُنُّهٗ كَاذِبًاؕ وَكَذٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ سُوۡٓءُ عَمَلِهٖ وَصُدَّ عَنِ السَّبِيۡلِؕ وَمَا كَيۡدُ فِرۡعَوۡنَ اِلَّا فِيۡ تَبَابٍࣖ
The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses; but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to Pharaoh the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the [right] way. And the plan of Pharaoh was not except in ruin
Verse 40:38
وَقَالَ الَّذِيۡ٘ اٰمَنَ يٰقَوۡمِ اتَّبِعُوۡنِ اَهۡدِكُمۡ سَبِيۡلَ الرَّشَادِۚ
And he who believed said, "O my people, follow me, I will guide you to the way of right conduct
Verse 40:39
يٰقَوۡمِ اِنَّمَا هٰذِهِ الۡحَيٰوةُ الدُّنۡيَا مَتَاعٌؗ وَّاِنَّ الۡاٰخِرَةَ هِيَ دَارُ الۡقَرَارِ
O my people, this worldly life is only [temporary] enjoyment, and indeed, the Hereafter - that is the home of [permanent] settlement
Verse 40:40
مَنۡ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً فَلَا يُجۡزٰ٘ي اِلَّا مِثۡلَهَاۚ وَمَنۡ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّنۡ ذَكَرٍ اَوۡ اُنۡثٰي وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٌ فَاُولٰٓئِكَ يَدۡخُلُوۡنَ الۡجَنَّةَ يُرۡزَقُوۡنَ فِيۡهَا بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابٍ
Whoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like thereof; but whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - those will enter Paradise, being given provision therein without account
Verse 40:41
وَيٰقَوۡمِ مَا لِيۡ٘ اَدۡعُوۡكُمۡ اِلَي النَّجٰوةِ وَتَدۡعُوۡنَنِيۡ٘ اِلَي النَّارِؕ
And O my people, how is it that I invite you to salvation while you invite me to the Fire
Verse 40:42
تَدۡعُوۡنَنِيۡ لِاَكۡفُرَ بِاللّٰهِ وَاُشۡرِكَ بِهٖ مَا لَيۡسَ لِيۡ بِهٖ عِلۡمٌؗ وَّاَنَا اَدۡعُوۡكُمۡ اِلَي الۡعَزِيۡزِ الۡغَفَّارِ
You invite me to disbelieve in Allah and associate with Him that of which I have no knowledge, and I invite you to the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver
Verse 40:43
لَا جَرَمَ اَنَّمَا تَدۡعُوۡنَنِيۡ٘ اِلَيۡهِ لَيۡسَ لَهٗ دَعۡوَةٌ فِي الدُّنۡيَا وَلَا فِي الۡاٰخِرَةِ وَاَنَّ مَرَدَّنَا٘ اِلَي اللّٰهِ وَاَنَّ الۡمُسۡرِفِيۡنَ هُمۡ اَصۡحٰبُ النَّارِ
Assuredly, that to which you invite me has no [response to a] supplication in this world or in the Hereafter; and indeed, our return is to Allah, and indeed, the transgressors will be companions of the Fire
Verse 40:44
فَسَتَذۡكُرُوۡنَ مَا٘ اَقُوۡلُ لَكُمۡؕ وَاُفَوِّضُ اَمۡرِيۡ٘ اِلَي اللّٰهِؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بَصِيۡرٌۭ بِالۡعِبَادِ
And you will remember what I [now] say to you, and I entrust my affair to Allah. Indeed, Allah is Seeing of [His] servants
Verse 40:45
فَوَقٰىهُ اللّٰهُ سَيِّاٰتِ مَا مَكَرُوۡا وَحَاقَ بِاٰلِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ سُوۡٓءُ الۡعَذَابِۚ
So Allah protected him from the evils they plotted, and the people of Pharaoh were enveloped by the worst of punishment
Verse 40:46
اَلنَّارُ يُعۡرَضُوۡنَ عَلَيۡهَا غُدُوًّا وَّعَشِيًّاۚ وَيَوۡمَ تَقُوۡمُ السَّاعَةُࣞ اَدۡخِلُوۡ٘ا اٰلَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ اَشَدَّ الۡعَذَابِ

And [mention] when they will argue within the Fire, and the weak will say to those who had been arrogant, "Indeed, we were [only] your followers, so will you relieve us of a share of the Fire
Verse 40:48
قَالَ الَّذِيۡنَ اسۡتَكۡبَرُوۡ٘ا اِنَّا كُلٌّ فِيۡهَا٘ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدۡ حَكَمَ بَيۡنَ الۡعِبَادِ

It is He who created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot; then He brings you out as a child; then [He develops you] that you reach your [time of] maturity, then [further] that you become elders.

Verse 40:68
هُوَ الَّذِيۡ يُحۡيٖ وَيُمِيۡتُۚ فَاِذَا قَضٰ٘ي اَمۡرًا فَاِنَّمَا يَقُوۡلُ لَهٗ كُنۡ فَيَكُوۡنُࣖ

Those who deny the Book and that with which We sent Our messengers - they are going to know

Enter the gates of Hell to abide eternally therein, and wretched is the residence of the arrogant
Verse 40:77
فَاصۡبِرۡ اِنَّ وَعۡدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّۚ فَاِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعۡضَ الَّذِيۡ نَعِدُهُمۡ اَوۡ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَاِلَيۡنَا يُرۡجَعُوۡنَ

وَلَقَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا رُسُلًا مِّنۡ قَبۡلِكَ مِنۡهُمۡ مَّنۡ قَصَصۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ وَمِنۡهُمۡ مَّنۡ لَّمۡ نَقۡصُصۡ عَلَيۡكَؕ وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُوۡلٍ اَنۡ يَّاۡتِيَ بِاٰيَةٍ اِلَّا بِاِذۡنِ اللّٰهِۚ فَاِذَا جَآءَ اَمۡرُ اللّٰهِ قُضِيَ بِالۡحَقِّ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ الۡمُبۡطِلُوۡنَࣖ
And We have already sent messengers before you. Among them are those [whose stories] We have related to you, and among them are those [whose stories] We have not related to you. And it was not for any messenger to bring a sign [or verse] except by permission of Allah. So when the command of Allah comes, it will be concluded in truth, and the falsifiers will thereupon lose [all]
Verse 40:79
اَللّٰهُ الَّذِيۡ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الۡاَنۡعَامَ لِتَرۡكَبُوۡا مِنۡهَا وَمِنۡهَا تَاۡكُلُوۡنَؗ

وَيُرِيۡكُمۡ اٰيٰتِهٖࣗۖ فَاَيَّ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ تُنۡكِرُوۡنَ
And He shows you His signs. So which of the signs of Allah do you deny
Verse 40:82
اَفَلَمۡ يَسِيۡرُوۡا فِي الۡاَرۡضِ فَيَنۡظُرُوۡا كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهِمۡؕ كَانُوۡ٘ا اَكۡثَرَ مِنۡهُمۡ وَاَشَدَّ قُوَّةً وَّاٰثَارًا فِي الۡاَرۡضِ فَمَا٘ اَغۡنٰي عَنۡهُمۡ مَّا كَانُوۡا يَكۡسِبُوۡنَ
Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those before them? They were more numerous than themselves and greater in strength and in impression on the land, but they were not availed by what they used to earn
Verse 40:83
فَلَمَّا جَآءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُهُمۡ بِالۡبَيِّنٰتِ فَرِحُوۡا بِمَا عِنۡدَهُمۡ مِّنَ الۡعِلۡمِ وَحَاقَ بِهِمۡ مَّا كَانُوۡا بِهٖ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُوۡنَ
And when their messengers came to them with clear proofs, they [merely] rejoiced in what they had of knowledge, but they were enveloped by what they used to ridicule

فَلَمَّا رَاَوۡا بَاۡسَنَا قَالُوۡ٘ا اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ وَحۡدَهٗ وَكَفَرۡنَا بِمَا كُنَّا بِهٖ مُشۡرِكِيۡنَ
And when they saw Our punishment, they said," We believe in Allah alone and disbelieve in that which we used to associate with Him
Verse 40:85
فَلَمۡ يَكُ يَنۡفَعُهُمۡ اِيۡمَانُهُمۡ لَمَّا رَاَوۡا بَاۡسَنَاؕ سُنَّتَ اللّٰهِ الَّتِيۡ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ فِيۡ عِبَادِهٖۚ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ الۡكٰفِرُوۡنَࣖ
But never did their faith benefit them once they saw Our punishment. [It is] the established way of Allah which has preceded among His servants. And the disbelievers thereupon lost [all]
