In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
1. Their reckoning has drawn near to men, and in
heedlessness are they turning aside.
2. There comes not to them a new reminder from their Lord
but they hear it while they sport,
3. Their hearts trifling; and those who are unjust counsel
together in secret: He is nothing but a mortal like
yourselves; what! will you then yield to enchantment while
you see?
4. He said: My Lord knows what is spoken in the heaven and
the earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
5. Nay! say they: Medleys of dreams; nay! he has forged it;
nay! he is a poet; so let him bring to us a sign as the
former (prophets) were sent (with).
6. There did not believe before them any town which We
destroyed, will they then believe?
7. And We did not send before you any but men to whom We
sent revelation, so ask the followers of the reminder if you
do not
8. And We did not make them bodies not eating the food, and
they were not to abide (forever).
9. Then We made Our promise good to them, so We delivered
them and those whom We pleased, and We destroyed the ex
10. Certainly We have revealed to you a Book in which is
your good remembrance; what! do you not then understand?
11. And how many a town which was iniquitous did We
demolish, and We raised up after it another people!
12. So when they felt Our punishment, lo! they began to fly
13. Do not fly (now) and come back to what you were made to
lead easy lives in and to your dwellings, haply you will be
questioned.
14. They said: O woe to us! surely we were unjust.
15. And this ceased not to be their cry till We made them
cut
16. And We did not create the heaven and the earth and what
is between them for sport.
17. Had We wished to make a diversion, We would have made it
from before Ourselves: by no means would We do (it).
18. Nay! We cast the truth against the falsehood, so that it
breaks its head, and lo! it vanishes; and woe to you for
what you describe;
19. And whoever is in the heavens and the earth is His; and
those who are with Him are not proud to serve Him, nor do
they grow weary.
20. They glorify (Him) by night and day; they are never
languid.
21. Or have they taken gods from the earth who raise (the
dead).
22. If there had been in them any gods except Allah, they
would both have certainly been in a state of disorder;
therefore glory be to Allah, the Lord of the dominion, above
what they attribute (to Him).
23. He cannot be questioned concerning what He does and they
shall be questioned.
24. Or, have they taken gods besides Him? Say: Bring your
proof; this is the reminder of those with me and the
reminder of those before me. Nay! most of them do not know
the truth, so they turn aside.
25. And We did not send before you any apostle but We
revealed to him that there is no god but Me, therefore serve
Me.
26. And they say: The Beneficent God has taken to Himself a
! son. Glory be to Him. Nay! they are honored servants
27. They do not precede Him in speech and (only) according
to His commandment do they act.
28. He knows what is before them and what is behind them,
and they do not intercede except for him whom He approves
and for fear of Him they tremble.
29. And whoever of them should say: Surely I am a god
besides Him, such a one do We recompense with hell; thus do,
We recompense the unjust.
30. Do not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and the
earth were closed up, but We have opened them; and We have
made of water everything living, will they not then believe?
31. And We have made great mountains in the earth lest it
might be convulsed with them, and We have made in it wide
ways that they may follow a right direction.
32. And We have made the heaven a guarded canopy and (yet)
they turn aside from its signs.
33. And He it is Who created the night and the day and the
sun and the moon; all (orbs) travel along swiftly in their
celestial spheres.
34. And We did not ordain abiding for any mortal before you.
What! Then if you die, will they abide?
35. Every soul must taste of death and We try you by evil
and good by way of probation; and to Us you shall be brought
back.
36. And when those who disbelieve see you, they do not take
you but for one to be scoffed at: Is this he who speaks of
your gods? And they are deniers at the mention of the
Beneficent God.
37. Man is created of haste; now will I show to you My
signs, therefore do not ask Me to hasten (them) on.
38. And they say: When will this threat come to pass if you
are truthful?
39. Had those who disbelieve but known (of the time) when
they shall not be able to ward off the fire from their faces
nor from their backs, nor shall they be helped.
40. Nay, it shall come on them all of a sudden and cause
them to become confounded, so they shall not have the power
to avert it, nor shall they be respited.
41. And certainly apostles before you were scoffed at, then
there befell those of them who scoffed that at which they
had scoffed.
42. Say: Who guards you by night and by day from the
Beneficent God? Nay, they turn aside at the mention of their
Lord.
43. Or, have they gods who can defend them against Us? They
shall not be able to assist themselves, nor shall they be
defended from Us.
44. Nay, We gave provision to these and their fathers until
life was prolonged to them. Do they not then see that We are
visiting the land, curtailing it of its sides? Shall they
then prevail?
45. Say: I warn you only by revelation; and the deaf do not
hear the call whenever they are warned.
46. And if a blast of the chastisement of your Lord were to
touch them, they will certainly say: O woe to us! surely we
were unjust.
47. And We will set up a just balance on the day of
resurrection, so no soul shall be dealt with unjustly in the
least; and though there be the weight of a grain of mustard
seed, (yet) will We bring it, and sufficient are We to take
account.
48. And certainly We gave to Musa and Haroun the Furqan and
a light and a reminder for those who would guard (against
evil).
49. (For) those who fear their Lord in secret and they are
fearful of the hour.
50. And this is a blessed Reminder which We have revealed;
will you then deny it?
51. And certainly We gave to Ibrahim his rectitude before,
and We knew him fully well.
52. When he said to his father and his people: What are
these images to whose worship you cleave?
53. They said: We found our fathers worshipping them.
54. He said: Certainly you have been, (both) you and your
fathers, in manifest error.
55. They said: Have you brought to us the truth, or are you
one of the triflers?
56. He said: Nay! your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and
the earth, Who brought them into existence, and I am of
those who bear witness to this:
57. And, by Allah! I will certainly do something against
your idols after you go away, turning back.
58. So he broke them into pieces, except the chief of them,
that haply they may return to it.
59. They said: Who has done this to our gods? Most surely he
is one of the unjust.
60. They said: We heard a youth called Ibrahim speak of
them.
61. Said they: Then bring him before the eyes of the people,
perhaps they may bear witness.
62. They said: Have you done this to our gods, O Ibrahim?
63. He said: Surely (some doer) has done it; the chief of
them is this, therefore ask them, if they can speak.
64. Then they turned to themselves and said: Surely you
yourselves are the unjust;
65. Then they were made to hang down their heads: Certainly
you know that they do not speak.
66. He said:.What! do you then serve besides Allah what
brings you not any benefit at all, nor does it harm you?
67. Fie on you and on what you serve besides Allah; what! do
you not then understand?
68. They said: Burn him and help your gods, if you are going
to do (anything).
69. We said: O fire! be a comfort and peace to Ibrahim;
70. And they desired a war on him, but We made them the
greatest losers.
71. And We delivered him as well as Lut (removing them) to
the land which We had blessed for all people.
72. And We gave him Ishaq and Yaqoub, a son's son, and We
made (them) all good.
73. And We made them Imams who guided (people) by Our
command, and We revealed to them the doing of good and the
keeping up of prayer and the giving of the alms, and Us
(alone) did they serve;
74. And (as for) Lut, We gave him wisdom and knowledge, and
We delivered him from the town which wrought abominations;
surely they were an evil people, transgressors;
75. And We took him into Our mercy; surely he was of the
good.
76. And Nuh, when he cried aforetime, so We answered him,
and delivered him and his followers from the great calamity.
77. And We helped him against the people who rejected Our
communications; surely they were an evil people, so We
drowned them all.
78. And Dawood and Sulaiman when they gave judgment
concerning the field when the people's sheep pastured
therein by night, and We were bearers of witness to their
judgment.
79. So We.made Sulaiman to understand it; and to each one We
gave wisdom and knowledge; and We made the mountains, and
the birds to celebrate Our praise with Dawood; and We were
the doers.
80. And We taught him the making of coats of mail for you,
that they might protect you in your wars; will you then be
grateful?
81 . And (We made subservient) to Sulaiman the wind blowing
violent, pursuing its course by his command to the land
which We had blessed, and We are knower of ail things.
82. And of the rebellious people there were those who dived
for him and did other work besides that, and We kept guard
over them;
83. And Ayub, when he cried to his Lord, (saying): Harm has
afflicted me, and Thou art the most Merciful of the
merciful.
84. Therefore We responded to him and took off what harm he
had, and We gave him his family and the like of them with
them: a mercy from Us and a reminder to the worshippers.
85. And Ismail and Idris and Zulkifl; all were of the
patient ones;
86. And We caused them to enter into Our mercy, surely they
were of the good ones.
87. And Yunus, when he went away in wrath, so he thought
that We would not straiten him, so he called out among
afflictions: There is no god but Thou, glory be to Thee;
surely I am of those who make themselves to suffer loss.
88. So We responded to him and delivered him from the grief
and thus do We deliver the believers.
89. And Zakariya, when he cried to his Lord: O my Lord leave
me not alone; and Thou art the best of inheritors.
90. So We responded to him and gave him Yahya and made his
wife fit for him; surely they used to hasten, one with
another In deeds of goodness and to call upon Us, hoping and
fearing and they were humble before Us.
91. And she who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into
her of Our inspiration and made her and her son a sign for
the nations.
92. Surely this Islam is your religion, one religion (only),
and I am your Lord, therefore serve Me.
93. And they broke their religion (into sects) between them:
to Us shall all come back.
94. Therefore whoever shall do of good deeds and he is a
believer, there shall be no denying of his exertion, and
surely We will write (It) down for him.
95. And it is binding on a town which We destroy that they
shall not return.
96. Even when Gog and Magog are let loose and they shall
break forth from every elevated place.
97. And the true promise shall draw nigh, then lo! the eyes
of those who disbelieved shall be fixedly open: O woe to us!
surely we were m a state of heedlessness as to this; nay, we
were unjust.
98. Surely you and what you worship besides Allah are the
firewood of hell; to it you shall come.
99. Had these been gods, they would not have come to it and
all shall abide therein.
100. For them therein shall be groaning and therein they
shall not hear.
101. Surely (as for) those for whom the good has already
gone forth from Us, they shall be kept far off from it;
102. They will not hear its faintest sound, and they shall
abide in that which their souls long for.
103. The great fearful event shall not grieve them, and the
angels shall meet them: This is your day which you were
promised.
104. On the day when We will roll up heaven like the rolling
up of the scroll for writings, as We originated the first
creation, (so) We shall reproduce it; a promise (binding on
Us); surely We will bring it about.
105. And certainly We wrote in the Book after the reminder
that (as for) the land, My righteous servants shall inherit
it.
106. Most surely in this is a message to a people who serve
107. And We have hot sent you but as a mercy to the worlds.
108. Say: It is only revealed to me that your God is one
God; will you then submit?
109. But if they turn back, say: I have given you warning m
fairness and I do not know whether what you are threatened
with is near or far:
110. Surely He knows what is spoken openly and He knows what
you hide:
111. And I do not know if this may be a trial for you and a
provision till a time.
112. He said: O my Lord! judge Thou with truth; and our Lord
is the Beneficent God, Whose help is sought against what you
ascribe (to Him).
