Surah Al-Kahf - Word by Word

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْٓ اَنْزَلَ عَلٰى عَبْدِهِ الْكِتٰبَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ عِوَجًا ۜ ١

[All] praise is [due] to Allah, who has sent down upon His Servant [Muhammad (r)] the Book and has not made therein any deviance. (QS. [18] Al-Kahf: 1)

قَيِّمًا لِّيُنْذِرَ بَأْسًا شَدِيْدًا مِّنْ لَّدُنْهُ وَيُبَشِّرَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ يَعْمَلُوْنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ اَنَّ لَهُمْ اَجْرًا حَسَنًاۙ ٢

[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 [i.e., Paradise]. (QS. [18] Al-Kahf: 2)

مَّاكِثِيْنَ فِيْهِ اَبَدًاۙ ٣

In which they will remain forever (QS. [18] Al-Kahf: 3)

وَّيُنْذِرَ الَّذِيْنَ قَالُوا اتَّخَذَ اللّٰهُ وَلَدًاۖ ٤

And to warn those who say, "Allah has taken a son". (QS. [18] Al-Kahf: 4)

مَّا لَهُمْ بِهٖ مِنْ عِلْمٍ وَّلَا لِاٰبَاۤىِٕهِمْۗ كَبُرَتْ كَلِمَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ اَفْوَاهِهِمْۗ اِنْ يَّقُوْلُوْنَ اِلَّا كَذِبًا ٥

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. (QS. [18] Al-Kahf: 5)

فَلَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ عَلٰٓى اٰثَارِهِمْ اِنْ لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُوْا بِهٰذَا الْحَدِيْثِ اَسَفًا ٦

Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over them, [O Muhammad], if they do not believe in this message, [and] out of sorrow. (QS. [18] Al-Kahf: 6)

اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا مَا عَلَى الْاَرْضِ زِيْنَةً لَّهَا لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ اَيُّهُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ٧

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. (QS. [18] Al-Kahf: 7)

وَاِنَّا لَجَاعِلُوْنَ مَا عَلَيْهَا صَعِيْدًا جُرُزًاۗ ٨

And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground. (QS. [18] Al-Kahf: 8)

اَمْ حَسِبْتَ اَنَّ اَصْحٰبَ الْكَهْفِ وَالرَّقِيْمِ كَانُوْا مِنْ اٰيٰتِنَا عَجَبًا ٩

Or have you thought that the companions of the cave and the inscription were, among Our signs, a wonder? (QS. [18] Al-Kahf: 9)

اِذْ اَوَى الْفِتْيَةُ اِلَى الْكَهْفِ فَقَالُوْا رَبَّنَآ اٰتِنَا مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً وَّهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ اَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا ١٠

[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." (QS. [18] Al-Kahf: 10)
