Surah Info

١

Nũn. By the pen and what everyone writes!
٢
By the grace of your Lord, you ˹O Prophet˺ are not insane.
٣
You will certainly have a never-ending reward.
٤
And you are truly ˹a man˺ of outstanding character.
٥
Soon you and the pagans will see,
٦
which of you is mad.
٧
Surely your Lord ˹alone˺ knows best who has strayed from His Way and who is ˹rightly˺ guided.
٨
So do not give in to the deniers.
٩
They wish you would compromise so they would yield ˹to you˺.
١٠
And do not obey the despicable, vain oath-taker,
١١
slanderer, gossip-monger,
١٢
withholder of good, transgressor, evildoer,
١٣
brute, and—on top of all that—an illegitimate child.
١٤
Now, ˹simply˺ because he has been blessed with ˹abundant˺ wealth and children,
١٥
whenever Our revelations are recited to him, he says, “Ancient fables!”
