بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

бисмиль-лəhир-рōhмəəнир-рōhиим

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

21:1

ٱقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِى غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُونَ

иќтəрōбə лин-нəəси hисəəбуhум вəhум фии ґōфлəтимм-му'ридуун

Mankind’s reckoning has drawn near to them, yet they are disregardful in [their] obliviousness.

21:2

مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِم مُّحْدَثٍ إِلَّا ٱسْتَمَعُوهُ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ

мəə йə`тииhим-миŋŋ-з̃икримм-мир-рōббиhим-муhдəc̃ин ильлəə-стəмə'ууhу вəhум йəль'əбуун

There does not come to them any new reminder from their Lord but they listen to it as they play around,

21:3

لَاهِيَةً قُلُوبُهُمْ  ۗ وَأَسَرُّواْ ٱلنَّجْوَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ هَلْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ  ۖ أَفَتَأْتُونَ ٱلسِّحْرَ وَأَنتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ

лəəhийəтəн ќулююбуhум, вə`əсəрруун-нəджвəəль-лəз̃иинə з̃ōлəмуу həль həəз̃əə ильлəə бəшəрумм-миc̃люкум, əфəтə`туунəс-сиhрō вə`əŋŋтум тубсыруун

their hearts set on diversions. The wrongdoers secretly whisper together, [saying], ‘Is this [man] not a human being like yourselves? Will you give in to magic with open eyes?’

21:4

قَالَ رَبِّى يَعْلَمُ ٱلْقَوْلَ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ  ۖ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

ќōōлə рōббии йə'лəмуль-ќōулə фиис-сəмəə`и вəəль`əрд, вəhувəс-сəмии'уль-'əлиим

He said, ‘My Lord knows every word [spoken] in the sky and on the earth, and He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing.’

21:5

بَلْ قَالُوٓاْ أَضْغَٰثُ أَحْلَٰمٍۭ بَلِ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِرٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِـَٔايَةٍ كَمَآ أُرْسِلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ

бəль ќōōлюю əдґōōc̃у əhлəəмимм-бəли-фтəрōōhу бəль hувə шəə'ирун фəльйə`тинəə би`əəйəтин кəмəə урсилəль-əувəлююн

But they said, ‘[They are] muddled dreams!’ ‘Indeed, he has fabricated it!’ ‘Indeed, he is a poet!’ ‘Let him bring us a sign, like those sent to the former generations.’

21:6

مَآ ءَامَنَتْ قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَٰهَآ  ۖ أَفَهُمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ

мəə əəмəнəт ќōблəhум-миŋŋ-ќōрйəтин əhлəкнəəhəə, əфəhум йу`минуун

No town that We destroyed before them believed. Will these then have faith [if they are sent signs]?

21:7

وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِمْ  ۖ فَسْـَٔلُوٓاْ أَهْلَ ٱلذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

вəмəə əрсəльнəə ќōблəкə ильлəə риджəəлəн-ннууhии илəйhим, фəəс`əлюю əhлəз̃-з̃икри иŋŋ-куŋŋтум лəə тə'лəмуун

We did not send [any apostles] before you except as men to whom We revealed. Ask the People of the Reminder if you do not know.

21:8

وَمَا جَعَلْنَٰهُمْ جَسَدًا لَّا يَأْكُلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُواْ خَٰلِدِينَ

вəмəə джə'əльнəəhум джəсəдəль-лəə йə`кулююнəт-тō'əəмə вəмəə кəəнуу хōōлидиин

We did not make them bodies that did not eat food, nor were they immortal.

21:9

ثُمَّ صَدَقْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْوَعْدَ فَأَنجَيْنَٰهُمْ وَمَن نَّشَآءُ وَأَهْلَكْنَا ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ

c̃уммə сōдəќнəəhумуль-вə'дə фə`əŋŋджəйнəəhум вəмəн-нəшəə`у вə`əhлəкнəəль-мусрифиин

Then We fulfilled Our promise to them, and We delivered them and whomever We wished, and We destroyed the transgressors.

21:10

لَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكُمْ كِتَٰبًا فِيهِ ذِكْرُكُمْ  ۖ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

лəќōд əŋŋзəльнəə илəйкум китəəбəн фииhи з̃икрукум, əфəлəə тə'ќилююн

Certainly We have sent down to you a Book in which there is an admonition for you. Do you not exercise your reason?
