They ate from it, whereupon their bodies became visible to them, and they tried to cover themselves with the leaves of Paradise. Adam thus disobeyed his Lord, and fell.
فَأَكَلا مِنها فَبَدَت لَهُما سَوءٰتُهُما وَطَفِقا يَخصِفانِ عَلَيهِما مِن وَرَقِ الجَنَّةِ وَعَصىٰ ءادَمُ رَبَّهُ فَغَوىٰ
fa akalaa minhaa fabadat lahumaa saw aatuhumaa wa tafiqaa yakhsifaani ‘alaihimaa minw waraqil jannah; wa ‘asaaa Aadamu Rabbahoo faghawaa
Subsequently, his Lord chose him, redeemed him, and guided him.
ثُمَّ اجتَبٰهُ رَبُّهُ فَتابَ عَلَيهِ وَهَدىٰ
summaj tabbahu Rabbuhoo fataaba ‘alaihi wa hadaa
He said, “Go down therefrom, all of you. You are enemies of one another. When guidance comes to you from Me, anyone who follows My guidance will not go astray, nor suffer any misery.
قالَ اهبِطا مِنها جَميعًا بَعضُكُم لِبَعضٍ عَدُوٌّ فَإِمّا يَأتِيَنَّكُم مِنّى هُدًى فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُداىَ فَلا يَضِلُّ وَلا يَشقىٰ
qaalah bita minhaa jamee’am ba’dukum liba’din ‘aduww; fa immaa ya’tiyannakum minnee hudan famanit taba’a hudaaya falaa yadillu wa laa yashqaa
(For the Disbelievers: Miserable Life Unavoidable)
“As for the one who disregards My message, he will have a miserable life, and we resurrect him, on the Day of Resurrection, blind.”
وَمَن أَعرَضَ عَن ذِكرى فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحشُرُهُ يَومَ القِيٰمَةِ أَعمىٰ
wa man a’rada ‘an Zikree fa inna lahoo ma’eeshatan dankanw wa nahshuruhoo Yawmal Qiyaamati a’maa
He will say, “My Lord, why did you summon me blind, when I used to be a seer?”
قالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرتَنى أَعمىٰ وَقَد كُنتُ بَصيرًا
qaala Rabbi lima hashar tanee a’maa wa qad kuntu baseeraa
He will say, “Because you forgot our revelations when they came to you, you are now forgotten.”
قالَ كَذٰلِكَ أَتَتكَ ءايٰتُنا فَنَسيتَها وَكَذٰلِكَ اليَومَ تُنسىٰ
qaala kazaalika atatka Aayaatunaa fanaseetahaa wa kazaalikal Yawma tunsaa
We thus requite those who transgress and refuse to believe in the revelations of their Lord. The retribution in the Hereafter is far worse and everlasting.
وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجزى مَن أَسرَفَ وَلَم يُؤمِن بِـٔايٰتِ رَبِّهِ وَلَعَذابُ الـٔاخِرَةِ أَشَدُّ وَأَبقىٰ
wa kazaalika najzee man asrafa wa lam yu’min bi Aayaati Rabbih; wa la’azaabul Aakhirati ashaddu wa abqaa
Does it ever occur to them how many previous generations we have annihilated? They are now walking in the homes of those before them. These are signs for those who possess intelligence.
أَفَلَم يَهدِ لَهُم كَم أَهلَكنا قَبلَهُم مِنَ القُرونِ يَمشونَ فى مَسٰكِنِهِم إِنَّ فى ذٰلِكَ لَـٔايٰتٍ لِأُولِى النُّهىٰ
afalam yahdi lahum kam ahlaknaa qablahum minal qurooni yamshoona fee masaakinihim; inna fee zaalika la Aayaatil li ulinnuhaa
If it were not for your Lord’s predetermined plan, they would have been judged immediately.
وَلَولا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَت مِن رَبِّكَ لَكانَ لِزامًا وَأَجَلٌ مُسَمًّى
wa law laa Kalimatun sabaqat mir Rabbika lakaana lizaamanw wa ‘ajalun musammaa
Therefore, be patient in the face of their utterances, and praise and glorify your Lord before sunrise and before sunset. And during the night glorify Him, as well as at both ends of the day, that you may be happy.
فَاصبِر عَلىٰ ما يَقولونَ وَسَبِّح بِحَمدِ رَبِّكَ قَبلَ طُلوعِ الشَّمسِ وَقَبلَ غُروبِها وَمِن ءانائِ الَّيلِ فَسَبِّح وَأَطرافَ النَّهارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرضىٰ
fasbir ‘alaa maa yaqooloona wa sabbih bihamdi Rabbika qabla tuloo’ish shamsi wa qabla ghuroobihaa wa min aanaaa’il laili fasabbih wa atraafan nahaari la ‘allaka tardaa
