وَتِلْكَ عَاد ٌ جَحَدُوا بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَصَوْا رُسُلَه ُُ وَاتَّبَعُوا أَمْرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيد ٍ
Wa Tilka `Ādun Jaĥadū Bi'āyāti Rabbihim Wa `Aşaw Rusulahu Wa Attaba`ū 'Amra Kulli Jabbārin `Anīdin
Such was the case of 'Aad. They disregarded the revelations of their Lord, and they disobeyed His messengers, and they followed the command of every stubborn tyrant.
27:14
وَجَحَدُوا بِهَا وَاسْتَيْقَنَتْهَا أَنْفُسُهُمْ ظُلْما ً وَعُلُوّا ً فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِينَ
Wa Jaĥadū Bihā Wa Astayqanat/hā 'Anfusuhum žulmāan Wa `Ulūwāan Fānžur Kayfa Kāna `Āqibatu Al-Mufsidīna
And they rejected them, while their souls knew, out of transgression and arrogance. So see how it ended for the wicked.
impf. act.
6:33
قَدْ نَعْلَمُ إِنَّه ُُ لَيَحْزُنُكَ الَّذِي يَقُولُونَ فَإِنَّهُمْ لاَ يُكَذِّبُونَكَ وَلَكِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ
Qad Na`lamu 'Innahu Layaĥzunuka Al-Ladhī Yaqūlūna Fa'innahum Lā Yukadhdhibūnaka Wa Lakinna Až-žālimīna Bi'āyāti Allāhi Yajĥadūna
We know that you are saddened by what they say; they are not rejecting you, but it is the revelations of God which the wicked disregard.
7:51
الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا دِينَهُمْ لَهْوا ً وَلَعِبا ً وَغَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا فَالْيَوْمَ نَنسَاهُمْ كَمَا نَسُوا لِقَاءَ يَوْمِهِمْ هَذَا وَمَا كَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ
Al-Ladhīna Attakhadhū Dīnahum Lahwan Wa La`ibāan Wa Gharrat/humu Al-Ĥayāatu Ad-Dunyā Fālyawma Nansāhum Kamā Nasū Liqā'a Yawmihim Hādhā Wa Mā Kānū Bi'āyātinā Yajĥadūna
The ones who took their system for distraction and play, and were preoccupied with this worldly life. Today We forget them as they forgot their meeting on this Day, and they did not heed Our revelations.
16:71
وَاللَّهُ فَضَّلَ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَى بَعْض ٍ فِي الرِّزْقِ فَمَا الَّذِينَ فُضِّلُوا بِرَادِّي رِزْقِهِمْ عَلَى مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِيه ِِ سَوَاءٌ أَفَبِنِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ
Wa Allāhu FaĐĐala Ba`Đakum `Alá Ba`Đin Fī Ar-Rizqi Famā Al-Ladhīna FuĐĐilū Birāddī Rizqihim `Alá Mā Malakat 'Aymānuhum Fahum Fīhi Sawā'un 'Afabini`mati Allāhi Yajĥadūna
And God has preferred some of you over others in provision. So it is not for those who have been preferred to relinquish their provision to those who are maintained by their oaths, that they may become equal in it. Would they deny the favor of God?
29:47
وَكَذَلِكَ أَنْزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ فَالَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِه ِِ وَمِنْ هَاؤُلاَء مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِه ِِ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِآيَاتِنَا إِلاَّ الْكَافِرُونَ
Wa Kadhalika 'Anzalnā 'Ilayka Al-Kitāba Fa-Al-Ladhīna 'Ātaynāhumu Al-Kitāba Yu'uminūna Bihi Wa Min Hā'uulā' Man Yu'uminu Bihi Wa Mā Yajĥadu Bi'āyātinā 'Illā Al-Kāfirūna
And similarly, We have sent down to you the Book. Thus, those whom We have given the Book will believe in it. Also, some of your people will believe in it. The only ones who mock Our revelations are the rejecters.
29:49
بَلْ هُوَ آيَات ٌ بَيِّنَات ٌ فِي صُدُورِ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِآيَاتِنَا إِلاَّ الظَّالِمُونَ
Bal Huwa 'Āyātun Bayyinātun Fī Şudūri Al-Ladhīna 'Ūtū Al-`Ilma Wa Mā Yajĥadu Bi'āyātinā 'Illā Až-žālimūna
In fact, it is a clear revelation in the chests of those who have been given knowledge. And it is only the wicked who doubt Our revelations.
31:32
وَإِذَا غَشِيَهُمْ مَوْج ٌ كَالظُّلَلِ دَعَوْا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ فَمِنْهُمْ مُقْتَصِد ٌ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِآيَاتِنَا إِلاَّ كُلُّ خَتَّار ٍ كَفُور ٍ
Wa 'Idhā Ghashiyahum Mawjun Kālžžulali Da`aw Allāha Mukhlişīna Lahu Ad-Dīna Falammā Najjāhum 'Ilá Al-Barri Faminhum Muqtaşidun Wa Mā Yajĥadu Bi'āyātinā 'Illā Kullu Khattārin Kafūrin
And when waves surround them like mountains, they call on God, sincerely devoting the system to Him. But when He saves them to the shore, some of them return. None discard Our signs except those who are betrayers, rejecters.
40:63
كَذَلِكَ يُؤْفَكُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ
Kadhālika Yu'ufaku Al-Ladhīna Kānū Bi'āyāti Allāhi Yajĥadūna
Thus, those who were denying the revelations of God were deviated.
41:15
فَأَمَّا عَاد ٌ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا فِي الأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَقَالُوا مَنْ أَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةً أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِي خَلَقَهُمْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّة ً وَكَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ
Fa'ammā `Ādun Fāstakbarū Fī Al-'ArĐi Bighayri Al-Ĥaqqi Wa Qālū Man 'Ashaddu Minnā Qūwatan 'Awalam Yaraw 'Anna Allāha Al-Ladhī Khalaqahum Huwa 'Ashaddu Minhum Qūwatan Wa Kānū Bi'āyātinā Yajĥadūna
As for Aad, they turned arrogant on the earth, without any right, and they said: Who is mightier than us in strength? Did they not see that God, who has created them, was mightier than they in strength? And they were denying Our revelations.
41:28
ذَلِكَ جَزَاءُ أَعْدَاءِ اللَّهِ النَّارُ لَهُمْ فِيهَا دَارُ الْخُلْدِ جَزَاء ً بِمَا كَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ
Dhālika Jazā'u 'A`dā'i Allāhi An-Nāru Lahum Fīhā Dāru Al-Khuldi Jazā'an Bimā Kānū Bi'āyātinā Yajĥadūna
Such is the recompense for the enemies of God. The Fire shall be their eternal abode, as a recompense for their discarding Our revelations.
46:26
وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنَّاهُمْ فِيمَا إِنْ مَكَّنَّاكُمْ فِيه ِِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ سَمْعا ً وَأَبْصَارا ً وَأَفْئِدَة ً فَمَا أَغْنَى عَنْهُمْ سَمْعُهُمْ وَلاَ أَبْصَارُهُمْ وَلاَ أَفْئِدَتُهُمْ مِنْ شَيْء ٍ إِذْ كَانُوا يَجْحَدُونَ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا بِه ِِ يَسْتَهْزِئُون
Wa Laqad Makkannāhum Fīmā 'In Makkannākum Fīhi Wa Ja`alnā Lahum Sam`āan Wa 'Abşārāan Wa 'Af'idatan Famā 'Aghná `Anhum Sam`uhum Wa Lā 'Abşāruhum Wa Lā 'Af'idatuhum Min Shay'in 'Idh Kānū Yajĥadūna Bi'āyāti Allāhi Wa Ĥāqa Bihim Mā Kānū Bihi Yastahzi'ūn
And We had established them in the same way as We established you, and provided them with hearing, and eyesight, and hearts. But their hearing, eyesight, and hearts did not help them at all. This is because they used to disregard the revelations of God, and they will be surrounded by that which they used to mock.
