1. * |
The arrangers in columns.
|
|
2. * |
The blamers of those to be blamed.
|
|
3. * |
The reciters of the messages.
|
|
4. * |
Your god is only one.
|
|
5. * |
The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, and Lord of the easts.
|
|
6. * |
We have adorned the lowest heaven with adorning planets.
|
|
7. * |
We guarded it from every evil devil.
|
|
8. * |
They cannot spy on the High Society; they get bombarded from every side.
|
|
9. * |
They have been condemned; they have incurred an eternal retribution.
|
|
10. * |
If any of them ventures to charge the outer limits, he gets struck with a fierce projectile.
|
|
11. * |
Ask them, "Are they more difficult to create, or the other creations?" We created them from wet mud.
|
|
12. * |
While you are awed, they mock.
|
|
13. * |
When reminded, they take no heed.
|
|
14. * |
When they see proof, they ridicule it.
|
|
15. * |
They say, "This is obviously magic!
|
|
16. * |
"After we die and become dust and bones, do we get resurrected?
|
|
17. * |
"Even our ancient ancestors?"
|
|
18. * |
Say, "Yes, you will be forcibly summoned."
|
|
19. * |
All it takes is one nudge, whereupon they (stand up) looking.
|
|
20. * |
They will say, "Woe to us; this is the Day of Judgment."
|
|
21. * |
This is the day of decision that you used to disbelieve in.
|
|
22. * |
Summon the transgressors, and their spouses, and the idols they worshiped
|
|
23. * |
beside GOD, and guide them to the path of Hell.
|
|
24. * |
Stop them, and ask them:
|
|
25. * |
"Why do you not help one another?"
|
|
26. * |
They will be, on that day, totally submitting.
|
|
27. * |
They will come to each other, questioning and blaming one another.
|
|
28. * |
They will say (to their leaders), "You used to come to us from the right side."
|
|
29. * |
They will respond, "It is you who were not believers.
|
|
30. * |
"We never had any power over you; it is you who were wicked.
|
|
31. * |
"We justly incurred our Lord's judgment; now we have to suffer.
|
|
32. * |
"We misled you, only because we were astray."
|
|
33. * |
Thus, together they will all partake of the retribution on that day.
|
|
34. * |
This is how we requite the guilty.
|
|
35. * |
When they were told, "Laa Elaaha Ella Allah [There is no other god beside GOD]," they turned arrogant.
|
|
36. * |
They said, "Shall we leave our gods for the sake of a crazy poet?"
|
|
37. * |
In fact, he has brought the truth, and has confirmed the messengers.
|
|
38. * |
Most assuredly, you will taste the most painful retribution.
|
|
39. * |
You are requited only for what you have done.
|
|
40. * |
Only GOD's servants who are absolutely devoted to Him alone (will be saved).
|
|
41. * |
They have deserved provisions that are reserved specifically for them.
|
|
42. * |
All kinds of fruits. They will be honored.
|
|
43. * |
In the gardens of bliss.
|
|
44. * |
On furnishings close to one another.
|
|
45. * |
Cups of pure drinks will be offered to them.
|
|
46. * |
Clear and delicious for the drinkers.
|
|
47. * |
Never polluted, and never exhausted.
|
|
48. * |
With them will be wonderful companions.
|
|
49. * |
Protected like fragile eggs.
|
|
50. * |
They will come to each other, and confer with one another.
|
|
51. * |
One of them will say, "I used to have a friend.
|
|
52. * |
"He used to mock: `Do you believe all this?
|
|
53. * |
" `After we die and turn into dust and bones, do we get called to account?' "
|
|
54. * |
He will say, "Just take a look!"
|
|
55. * |
When he looks, he will see his friend in the heart of Hell.
|
|
56. * |
He (will go to him and) say, "By GOD, you almost ruined me.
|
|
57. * |
"If it were not for my Lord's blessing, I would have been with you now.
|
|
58. * |
"(Do you still believe) that we die,
|
|
59. * |
"only the first death, and we never receive any requital?"
|
|
60. * |
Such is the greatest triumph.
|
|
61. * |
This is what every worker should work for.
|
|
62. * |
Is this a better destiny, or the tree of bitterness?
|
|
63. * |
We have rendered it a punishment for the transgressors.
|
|
64. * |
It is a tree that grows in the heart of Hell.
|
|
65. * |
Its flowers look like the devils' heads.
|
|
66. * |
They will eat from it until their bellies are filled up.
|
|
67. * |
Then they will top it with a hellish drink.
|
|
68. * |
Then they will return to Hell.
|
|
69. * |
They found their parents astray.
|
|
70. * |
And they blindly followed in their footsteps.
|
|
71. * |
Most of the previous generations have strayed in the same manner.
|
|
72. * |
We have sent to them warners.
|
|
73. * |
Note the consequences for those who have been warned.
|
|
74. * |
Only GOD's servants who are absolutely devoted to Him alone (are saved).
|
|
75. * |
Thus, Noah called upon us, and we were the best responders.
|
|
76. * |
We saved him and his family from the great disaster.
|
|
77. * |
We made his companions the survivors.
|
|
78. * |
And we preserved his history for subsequent generations.
|
|
79. * |
Peace be upon Noah among the peoples.
|
|
80. * |
We thus reward the righteous.
|
|
81. * |
He is one of our believing servants.
|
|
82. * |
We drowned all the others.
|
|
83. * |
Among his followers was Abraham.
|
|
84. * |
He came to his Lord wholeheartedly.
|
|
85. * |
He said to his father and his people, "What are you worshiping?
|
|
86. * |
"Is it these fabricated gods, instead of GOD, that you want?
|
|
87. * |
"What do you think of the Lord of the universe?"
|
|
88. * |
He looked carefully at the stars.
|
|
89. * |
Then he gave up and said, "I am tired of this!"
|
|
90. * |
They turned away from him.
|
|
91. * |
He then turned on their idols, saying, "Would you like to eat?
|
|
92. * |
"Why do you not speak?"
|
|
93. * |
He then destroyed them.
|
|
94. * |
They went to him in a great rage.
|
|
95. * |
He said, "How can you worship what you carve?
|
|
96. * |
"When GOD has created you, and everything you make!"
|
|
97. * |
They said, "Let us build a great fire, and throw him into it."
|
|
98. * |
They schemed against him, but we made them the losers.
|
|
99. * |
He said, "I am going to my Lord; He will guide me."
|
|
100. * |
"My Lord, grant me righteous children."
|
|
101. * |
We gave him good news of a good child.
|
|
102. * |
When he grew enough to work with him, he said, "My son, I see in a dream that I am sacrificing you. What do you think?" He said, "O my father, do what you are commanded to do. You will find me, GOD willing, patient."
|
|
103. * |
They both submitted, and he put his forehead down (to sacrifice him).
|
|
104. * |
We called him: "O Abraham.
|
|
105. * |
"You have believed the dream." We thus reward the righteous.
|
|
106. * |
That was an exacting test indeed.
|
|
107. * |
We ransomed (Ismail) by substituting an animal sacrifice.
|
|
108. * |
And we preserved his history for subsequent generations.
|
|
109. * |
Peace be upon Abraham.
|
|
110. * |
We thus reward the righteous.
|
|
111. * |
He is one of our believing servants.
|
|
112. * |
Then we gave him the good news about the birth of Isaac, to be one of the righteous prophets.
|
|
113. * |
We blessed him and Isaac. Among their descendants, some are righteous, and some are wicked transgressors.
|
|
114. * |
We also blessed Moses and Aaron.
|
|
115. * |
We delivered them and their people from the great disaster.
|
|
116. * |
We supported them, until they became the winners.
|
|
117. * |
We gave both of them the profound scripture.
|
|
118. * |
We guided them in the right path.
|
|
119. * |
We preserved their history for subsequent generations.
|
|
120. * |
Peace be upon Moses and Aaron.
|
|
121. * |
We thus reward the righteous.
|
|
122. * |
Both of them were among our righteous servants.
|
|
123. * |
Elias was one of the messengers.
|
|
124. * |
He said to his people, "Would you not work righteousness?
|
|
125. * |
"Do you worship a statue, instead of the Supreme Creator?
|
|
126. * |
"GOD; your Lord, and the Lord of your forefathers!"
|
|
127. * |
They disbelieved him. Consequently, they had to be called to account.
|
|
128. * |
Only GOD's servants who are absolutely devoted to Him alone (are saved).
|
|
129. * |
We preserved his history for subsequent generations.
|
|
130. * |
Peace be upon Elias, and all those like Elias.
|
|
131. * |
We thus reward the righteous.
|
|
132. * |
He was one of our believing servants.
|
|
133. * |
Lot was one of the messengers.
|
|
134. * |
We saved him and all his family.
|
|
135. * |
Only the old woman was doomed.
|
|
136. * |
We annihilated all the others.
|
|
137. * |
You still pass by their ruins by day.
|
|
138. * |
And by night. Would you understand?
|
|
139. * |
Jonah was one of the messengers.
|
|
140. * |
He escaped to the loaded ship.
|
|
141. * |
He rebelled and thus, he joined the losers.
|
|
142. * |
Consequently, the fish swallowed him, and he was the one to blame.
|
|
143. * |
If it were not that he resorted to meditation (on God),
|
|
144. * |
he would have stayed in its belly until the Day of Resurrection.
|
|
145. * |
We had him thrown up into the desert, exhausted.
|
|
146. * |
We had a tree of edible fruit grown for him.
|
|
147. * |
Then we sent him to a hundred thousand, or more.
|
|
148. * |
They did believe, and we let them enjoy this life.
|
|
149. * |
Ask them if your Lord have daughters, while they have sons!
|
|
150. * |
Did we create the angels to be females? Did they witness that?
|
|
151. * |
Indeed, they grossly blaspheme when they say -
|
|
152. * |
"GOD has begotten a son." Indeed, they are liars.
|
|
153. * |
Did He choose the girls over the boys?
|
|
154. * |
What is wrong with your logic?
|
|
155. * |
Why do you not take heed?
|
|
156. * |
Do you have any proof?
|
|
157. * |
Show us your book, if you are truthful.
|
|
158. * |
They even invented a special relationship between Him and the jinns. The jinns themselves know that they are subservient.
|
|
159. * |
GOD be glorified; far above their claims.
|
|
160. * |
Only GOD's servants who are devoted to Him alone (are saved).
|
|
161. * |
Indeed, you and what you worship.
|
|
162. * |
Cannot impose anything on Him.
|
|
163. * |
Only you will burn in Hell.
|
|
164. * |
Each one of us has a specific job.
|
|
165. * |
We are the arrangers.
|
|
166. * |
We have duly glorified (our Lord).
|
|
167. * |
They used to say,
|
|
168. * |
"Had we received the correct instructions from our parents,
|
|
169. * |
"we would have been worshipers; devoted to GOD alone."
|
|
170. * |
But they disbelieved, and they will surely find out.
|
|
171. * |
Our decision is already decreed for our servants the messengers.
|
|
172. * |
They are surely the victors.
|
|
173. * |
Our soldiers are the winners.
|
|
174. * |
So disregard them for awhile.
|
|
175. * |
Watch them; they too will watch.
|
|
176. * |
Do they challenge our retribution?
|
|
177. * |
When it hits them one day, it will be a miserable day; they have been sufficiently warned.
|
|
178. * |
Disregard them for awhile.
|
|
179. * |
Watch them; they too will watch.
|
|
180. * |
Glory be to your Lord, the great Lord; far above their claims.
|
|
181. * |
Peace be upon the messengers.
|
|
182. * |
Praise be to GOD, Lord of the universe.
|
