1. * |
N, the pen, and what they write.
|
|
2. * |
You are not, by the blessing of your Lord, a madman.
|
|
3. * |
And you will have a reward that is well deserved.
|
|
4. * |
And you are of a high moral character.
|
|
5. * |
So you will see, and they will see.
|
|
6. * |
Which of you are condemned.
|
|
7. * |
Your Lord is fully aware of those who strayed off His path, and He is fully aware of those who are guided.
|
|
8. * |
So do not obey those who deny.
|
|
9. * |
They wish that you compromise, so they too can compromise.
|
|
10. * |
And do not obey every lowly swearer.
|
|
11. * |
A slanderer, a backbiter.
|
|
12. * |
Forbidder of charity, a transgressor, a sinner.
|
|
13. * |
Unappreciative, and greedy.
|
|
14. * |
Because he possessed money and children.
|
|
15. * |
When Our revelations are recited to him, he says: "Tales from the past!"
|
|
16. * |
We will mark him on the path.
|
|
17. * |
We have tested them like We tested those who owned the paradise, when they swore that they will harvest it in the morning.
|
|
18. * |
They were without doubt.
|
|
19. * |
So a passing sent from your Lord came to it while they all were asleep.
|
|
20. * |
Thus, it became barren.
|
|
21. * |
They called on one another when they awoke.
|
|
22. * |
"Let us go this morning to harvest the crop."
|
|
23. * |
So they went, while conversing.
|
|
24. * |
That from today, none of them would ever be poor.
|
|
25. * |
And they went, ready to harvest.
|
|
26. * |
But when they saw it, they said: "We have gone astray!"
|
|
27. * |
"Now, we have nothing!"
|
|
28. * |
The best among them said: "If only you had glorified!"
|
|
29. * |
They said: "Glory be to our Lord. We have transgressed."
|
|
30. * |
Then they started to blame each other.
|
|
31. * |
They said: "Woe to us. We sinned."
|
|
32. * |
"Perhaps our Lord will grant us better than it. We repent to our Lord."
|
|
33. * |
Such was the punishment. But the retribution of the Hereafter is far worse, if they only knew.
|
|
34. * |
The righteous have deserved, at their Lord, paradises of bliss.
|
|
35. * |
Should We treat the ones who surrendered the same as those who are criminals?
|
|
36. * |
What is wrong with you, how do you judge?
|
|
37. * |
Or do you have another book which you study?
|
|
38. * |
In it, you can find what you wish?
|
|
39. * |
Or do you have an oath from Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that you can judge as you please?
|
|
40. * |
Ask them: "Who of them will make such a claim?"
|
|
41. * |
Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they are truthful.
|
|
42. * |
The Day will come when they will be exposed, and they will be required to prostrate, but they will be unable to.
|
|
43. * |
With their eyes subdued, humiliation will cover them. They were invited to prostrate when they were whole and able.
|
|
44. * |
Therefore, let Me deal with those who reject this narration; We will entice them from where they do not perceive.
|
|
45. * |
And I will lead them on; for My scheming is formidable.
|
|
46. * |
Or did you ask them for a wage, so they are burdened by the fine?
|
|
47. * |
Or do they know the future? So they have it recorded?
|
|
48. * |
You shall be patient for the judgement of your Lord. And do not be like he who called from inside the whale while he was in sorrow.
|
|
49. * |
Had it not been for his Lord's grace, he would have remained trapped, while he was to be blamed.
|
|
50. * |
But his Lord blessed him, and made him righteous.
|
|
51. * |
And those who have rejected almost attack you with their eyes when they hear the reminder, and they Say: "He is crazy!"
|
|
52. * |
It is but a reminder for the worlds.
