Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 1
[All] praise is [due] to Allah, who has sent down upon His Servant the Book and has not made therein any deviance.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 2
[He has made it] straight, to warn of severe punishment from Him and to give good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a good reward
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 3
In which they will remain forever
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 4
And to warn those who say, " Allah has taken a son."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 5
They have no knowledge of it, nor had their fathers. Grave is the word that comes out of their mouths; they speak not except a lie.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 6
Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over them, [O Muhammad], if they do not believe in this message, [and] out of sorrow.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 7
Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 8
And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 9
Or have you thought that the companions of the cave and the inscription were, among Our signs, a wonder?
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 10
[Mention] when the youths retreated to the cave and said, "Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 11
So We cast [a cover of sleep] over their ears within the cave for a number of years.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 12
Then We awakened them that We might show which of the two factions was most precise in calculating what [extent] they had remained in time.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 13
It is We who relate to you, [O Muhammad], their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 14
And We made firm their hearts when they stood up and said, "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 15
These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear authority? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie?"
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 16
[The youths said to one another], "And when you have withdrawn from them and that which they worship other than Allah, retreat to the cave. Your Lord will spread out for you of His mercy and will prepare for you from your affair facility."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 17
And [had you been present], you would see the sun when it rose, inclining away from their cave on the right, and when it set, passing away from them on the left, while they were [laying] within an open space thereof. That was from the signs of Allah . He whom Allah guides is the [rightly] guided, but he whom He leaves astray - never will you find for him a protecting guide.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 18
And you would think them awake, while they were asleep. And We turned them to the right and to the left, while their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance. If you had looked at them, you would have turned from them in flight and been filled by them with terror.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 19
And similarly, We awakened them that they might question one another. Said a speaker from among them, "How long have you remained [here]?" They said, "We have remained a day or part of a day." They said, "Your Lord is most knowing of how long you remained. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city and let him look to which is the best of food and bring you provision from it and let him be cautious. And let no one be aware of you.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 20
Indeed, if they come to know of you, they will stone you or return you to their religion. And never would you succeed, then - ever."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 21
And similarly, We caused them to be found that they [who found them] would know that the promise of Allah is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [That was] when they disputed among themselves about their affair and [then] said, "Construct over them a structure. Their Lord is most knowing about them." Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 22
They will say there were three, the fourth of them being their dog; and they will say there were five, the sixth of them being their dog - guessing at the unseen; and they will say there were seven, and the eighth of them was their dog. Say, [O Muhammad], "My Lord is most knowing of their number. None knows them except a few. So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument and do not inquire about them among [the speculators] from anyone."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 23
And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow,"
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 24
Except [when adding], "If Allah wills." And remember your Lord when you forget [it] and say, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to right conduct."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 25
And they remained in their cave for three hundred years and exceeded by nine.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 26
Say, " Allah is most knowing of how long they remained. He has [knowledge of] the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. How Seeing is He and how Hearing! They have not besides Him any protector, and He shares not His legislation with anyone."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 27
And recite, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord. There is no changer of His words, and never will you find in other than Him a refuge.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 28
And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His countenance. And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of the worldly life, and do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever [in] neglect.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 29
And say, "The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills - let him believe; and whoever wills - let him disbelieve." Indeed, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a fire whose walls will surround them. And if they call for relief, they will be relieved with water like murky oil, which scalds [their] faces. Wretched is the drink, and evil is the resting place.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 30
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of any who did well in deeds.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 31
Those will have gardens of perpetual residence; beneath them rivers will flow. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and will wear green garments of fine silk and brocade, reclining therein on adorned couches. Excellent is the reward, and good is the resting place.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 32
And present to them an example of two men: We granted to one of them two gardens of grapevines, and We bordered them with palm trees and placed between them [fields of] crops.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 33
Each of the two gardens produced its fruit and did not fall short thereof in anything. And We caused to gush forth within them a river.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 34
And he had fruit, so he said to his companion while he was conversing with him, "I am greater than you in wealth and mightier in [numbers of] men."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 35
And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself. He said, "I do not think that this will perish - ever.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 36
And I do not think the Hour will occur. And even if I should be brought back to my Lord, I will surely find better than this as a return."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 37
His companion said to him while he was conversing with him, "Have you disbelieved in He who created you from dust and then from a sperm-drop and then proportioned you [as] a man?
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 38
But as for me, He is Allah, my Lord, and I do not associate with my Lord anyone.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 39
And why did you, when you entered your garden, not say, 'What Allah willed [has occurred]; there is no power except in Allah '? Although you see me less than you in wealth and children,
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 40
It may be that my Lord will give me [something] better than your garden and will send upon it a calamity from the sky, and it will become a smooth, dusty ground,
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 41
Or its water will become sunken [into the earth], so you would never be able to seek it."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 42
And his fruits were encompassed [by ruin], so he began to turn his hands about [in dismay] over what he had spent on it, while it had collapsed upon its trellises, and said, "Oh, I wish I had not associated with my Lord anyone."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 43
And there was for him no company to aid him other than Allah, nor could he defend himself.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 44
There the authority is [completely] for Allah, the Truth. He is best in reward and best in outcome.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 45
And present to them the example of the life of this world, [its being] like rain which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it and [then] it becomes dry remnants, scattered by the winds. And Allah is ever, over all things, Perfect in Ability.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 46
Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one's] hope.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 47
And [warn of] the Day when We will remove the mountains and you will see the earth prominent, and We will gather them and not leave behind from them anyone.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 48
And they will be presented before your Lord in rows, [and He will say], "You have certainly come to Us just as We created you the first time. But you claimed that We would never make for you an appointment."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 49
And the record [of deeds] will be placed [open], and you will see the criminals fearful of that within it, and they will say, "Oh, woe to us! What is this book that leaves nothing small or great except that it has enumerated it?" And they will find what they did present [before them]. And your Lord does injustice to no one.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 50
And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was of the jinn and departed from the command of his Lord. Then will you take him and his descendants as allies other than Me while they are enemies to you? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 51
I did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth or to the creation of themselves, and I would not have taken the misguiders as assistants.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 52
And [warn of] the Day when He will say, "Call 'My partners' whom you claimed," and they will invoke them, but they will not respond to them. And We will put between them [a valley of] destruction.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 53
And the criminals will see the Fire and will be certain that they are to fall therein. And they will not find from it a way elsewhere.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 54
And We have certainly diversified in this Qur'an for the people from every [kind of] example; but man has ever been, most of anything, [prone to] dispute.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 55
And nothing has prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord except that there [must] befall them the [accustomed] precedent of the former peoples or that the punishment should come [directly] before them.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 56
And We send not the messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners. And those who disbelieve dispute by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth and have taken My verses, and that of which they are warned, in ridicule.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 57
And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord but turns away from them and forgets what his hands have put forth? Indeed, We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if you invite them to guidance - they will never be guided, then - ever.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 58
And your Lord is the Forgiving, full of mercy. If He were to impose blame upon them for what they earned, He would have hastened for them the punishment. Rather, for them is an appointment from which they will never find an escape.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 59
And those cities - We destroyed them when they wronged, and We made for their destruction an appointed time.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 60
And [mention] when Moses said to his servant, "I will not cease [traveling] until I reach the junction of the two seas or continue for a long period."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 61
But when they reached the junction between them, they forgot their fish, and it took its course into the sea, slipping away.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 62
So when they had passed beyond it, [Moses] said to his boy, "Bring us our morning meal. We have certainly suffered in this, our journey, [much] fatigue."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 63
He said, "Did you see when we retired to the rock? Indeed, I forgot [there] the fish. And none made me forget it except Satan - that I should mention it. And it took its course into the sea amazingly".
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 64
[Moses] said, "That is what we were seeking." So they returned, following their footprints.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 65
And they found a servant from among Our servants to whom we had given mercy from us and had taught him from Us a [certain] knowledge.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 66
Moses said to him, "May I follow you on [the condition] that you teach me from what you have been taught of sound judgement?"
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 67
He said, "Indeed, with me you will never be able to have patience.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 68
And how can you have patience for what you do not encompass in knowledge?"
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 69
[Moses] said, "You will find me, if Allah wills, patient, and I will not disobey you in [any] order."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 70
He said, "Then if you follow me, do not ask me about anything until I make to you about it mention."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 71
So they set out, until when they had embarked on the ship, al-Khidh r tore it open. [Moses] said, "Have you torn it open to drown its people? You have certainly done a grave thing."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 72
[Al-Khidh r] said, "Did I not say that with me you would never be able to have patience?"
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 73
[Moses] said, "Do not blame me for what I forgot and do not cover me in my matter with difficulty."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 74
So they set out, until when they met a boy, al-Khidh r killed him. [Moses] said, "Have you killed a pure soul for other than [having killed] a soul? You have certainly done a deplorable thing."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 75
[Al-Khidh r] said, "Did I not tell you that with me you would never be able to have patience?"
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 76
[Moses] said, "If I should ask you about anything after this, then do not keep me as a companion. You have obtained from me an excuse."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 77
So they set out, until when they came to the people of a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to offer them hospitality. And they found therein a wall about to collapse, so al-Khidh r restored it. [Moses] said, "If you wished, you could have taken for it a payment."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 78
[Al-Khidh r] said, "This is parting between me and you. I will inform you of the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 79
As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working at sea. So I intended to cause defect in it as there was after them a king who seized every [good] ship by force.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 80
And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 81
So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 82
And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure for them, and their father had been righteous. So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 83
And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about Dhul-Qarnayn. Say, "I will recite to you about him a report."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 84
Indeed We established him upon the earth, and We gave him to everything a way.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 85
So he followed a way
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 86
Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it [as if] setting in a spring of dark mud, and he found near it a people. Allah said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 87
He said, "As for one who wrongs, we will punish him. Then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with a terrible punishment.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 88
But as for one who believes and does righteousness, he will have a reward of Paradise, and we will speak to him from our command with ease."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 89
Then he followed a way
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 90
Until, when he came to the rising of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had not made against it any shield.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 91
Thus. And We had encompassed [all] that he had in knowledge.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 92
Then he followed a way
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 93
Until, when he reached [a pass] between two mountains, he found beside them a people who could hardly understand [his] speech.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 94
They said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, indeed Gog and Magog are [great] corrupters in the land. So may we assign for you an expenditure that you might make between us and them a barrier?"
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 95
He said, "That in which my Lord has established me is better [than what you offer], but assist me with strength; I will make between you and them a dam.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 96
Bring me sheets of iron" - until, when he had leveled [them] between the two mountain walls, he said, "Blow [with bellows]," until when he had made it [like] fire, he said, "Bring me, that I may pour over it molten copper."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 97
So Gog and Magog were unable to pass over it, nor were they able [to effect] in it any penetration.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 98
[Dhul-Qarnayn] said, "This is a mercy from my Lord; but when the promise of my Lord comes, He will make it level, and ever is the promise of my Lord true."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 99
And We will leave them that day surging over each other, and [then] the Horn will be blown, and We will assemble them in [one] assembly.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 100
And We will present Hell that Day to the Disbelievers, on display -
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 101
Those whose eyes had been within a cover [removed] from My remembrance, and they were not able to hear.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 102
Then do those who disbelieve think that they can take My servants instead of Me as allies? Indeed, We have prepared Hell for the disbelievers as a lodging.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 103
Say, [O Muhammad], "Shall we [believers] inform you of the greatest losers as to [their] deeds?
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 104
[They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 105
Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in [their] meeting Him, so their deeds have become worthless; and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any importance.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 106
That is their recompense - Hell - for what they denied and [because] they took My signs and My messengers in ridicule.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 107
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - they will have the Gardens of Paradise as a lodging,
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 108
Wherein they abide eternally. They will not desire from it any transfer.
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 109
Say, "If the sea were ink for [writing] the words of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even if We brought the like of it as a supplement."
 
Surat Al Kahfi Ayat 110
Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone."
