| 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. |
