1. * |
I, Allah, am the Seer. These are the verses of the Book and (of) a Qur’an that makes manifest.
|
|
2. * |
Often will those who disbelieve wish that they were Muslims.
|
|
3. * |
Leave them to eat and enjoy themselves, and let (false) hope beguile them, for they will soon know.
|
|
4. * |
And never did We destroy a town but it had a decree made known.
|
|
5. * |
No people can hasten on their doom, nor can they postpone (it).
|
|
6. * |
And they say: O thou to whom the Reminder is revealed, thou art indeed mad.
|
|
7. * |
Why bringest thou not the angels to us, if thou art of the truthful?
|
|
8. * |
We send not angels but with truth, and then they would not be respited.
|
|
9. * |
Surely We have revealed the Reminder, and surely We are its Guardian.
|
|
10. * |
And certainly We sent (messengers) before thee among the sects of yore.
|
|
11. * |
And there never came a messenger to them but they mocked him.
|
|
12. * |
Thus do We make it enter the hearts of the guilty --
|
|
13. * |
They believe not in it; and the example of the ancients has gone before.
|
|
14. * |
And even if We open to them a gate of heaven, and they keep on ascending into it,
|
|
15. * |
They would say: Only our eyes have been covered over, rather we are an enchanted people.
|
|
16. * |
And certainly We have made strongholds in the heaven, and We have made it fair-seeming to the beholders,
|
|
17. * |
And We guard it against every accursed devil,
|
|
18. * |
But he who steals a hearing; so there follows him a visible flame.
|
|
19. * |
And the earth -- We have spread it out and made in it firm mountains and caused to grow in it of every suitable thing.
|
|
20. * |
And We have made in it means of subsistence for you and for him for whom you provide not.
|
|
21. * |
And there is not a thing but with Us are the treasures of it, and We send it not down but in a known measure.
|
|
22. * |
And We send the winds fertilizing, then send down water from the clouds, so We give it to you to drink; not is it you who store it up.
|
|
23. * |
And surely it is We, Who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritors.
|
|
24. * |
And certainly We know those among you who go forward and We certainly know those who lag behind.
|
|
25. * |
And surely thy Lord will gather them together. He indeed is Wise, Knowing.
|
|
26. * |
And surely We created man of sounding clay, of black mud fashioned into shape.
|
|
27. * |
And the jinn, We created before of intensely hot fire.
|
|
28. * |
And when thy Lord said to the angels: I am going to create a mortal of sounding clay, of black mud fashioned into shape.
|
|
29. * |
So when I have made him complete and breathed into him of My spirit, fall down making obeisance to him.
|
|
30. * |
So the angels made obeisance, all of them together --
|
|
31. * |
But Iblis (did it not). He refused to be with those who made obeisance.
|
|
32. * |
He said: O Iblis, what is the reason that thou art not with those who make obeisance?
|
|
33. * |
He said: I am not going to make obeisance to a mortal, whom Thou has created of sounding clay, of black mud fashioned into shape.
|
|
34. * |
He said: Then go forth, for surely thou art driven away,
|
|
35. * |
And surely on thee is a curse till the day of Judgment.
|
|
36. * |
He said: My Lord, respite me till the time when they are raised.
|
|
37. * |
He said: Surely thou art of the respited one,
|
|
38. * |
Till the period of the time made known.
|
|
39. * |
He said: My Lord, as Thou has judged me erring, I shall certainly make (evil) fair-seeming to them on earth, and I shall cause them all to deviate,
|
|
40. * |
Except Thy servants from among them, the purified ones.
|
|
41. * |
He said: This is a right way with Me.
|
|
42. * |
As regards My servants, thou has no authority over them except such of the deviators as follow thee.
|
|
43. * |
And surely hell is the promised place for them all --
|
|
44. * |
It has seven gates. For each gate is an appointed portion of them.
|
|
45. * |
Surely those who keep their duty are in Gardens and fountains.
|
|
46. * |
Enter them in peace, secure.
|
|
47. * |
And We shall root out whatever of rancour is in their breasts -- as brethren, on raised couches, face to face.
|
|
48. * |
Toil afflicts them not therein, nor will they be ejected therefrom.
|
|
49. * |
Inform My servants that I am the Forgiving, the Merciful,
|
|
50. * |
And that My chastisement -- that is the painful chastisement.
|
|
51. * |
And inform them of the guests of Abraham.
|
|
52. * |
When they entered upon him, they said, Please! He said: We are afraid of you.
|
|
53. * |
They said: Be not afraid, we give thee good news of a boy, possessing knowledge.
|
|
54. * |
He said: Do you give me good news when old age has come upon me? Of what then do you give me good news?
|
|
55. * |
They said: We give thee good news with truth, so be not thou of the despairing ones.
|
|
56. * |
He said: And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord but the erring ones?
|
|
57. * |
He said: What is your business, then, O messengers?
|
|
58. * |
They said: We have been sent to a guilty people,
|
|
59. * |
Except Lot’s followers. We shall deliver them all,
|
|
60. * |
Except his wife: We ordained that she shall surely be of those who remain behind.
|
|
61. * |
So when the messengers came to Lot’s followers,
|
|
62. * |
He said: Surely you are an unknown people.
|
|
63. * |
They said: Nay, we have come to thee with that about which they disputed.
|
|
64. * |
And we have come to thee with the truth, and we are surely truthful.
|
|
65. * |
So travel with thy followers for a part of the night and thyself follow their rear; and let not any one of you turn round, and go whither you are commanded.
|
|
66. * |
And We made known to him this decree, that the roots of these should be cut off in the morning.
|
|
67. * |
And the people of the town came rejoicing.
|
|
68. * |
He said: These are my guests, so disgrace me not,
|
|
69. * |
And keep your duty to Allah and shame me not.
|
|
70. * |
They said: Did we not forbid thee from (entertaining) people?
|
|
71. * |
He said: These are my daughters, if you will do (aught).
|
|
72. * |
By thy life! they blindly wandered on in their frenzy.
|
|
73. * |
So the cry overtook them at sunrise;
|
|
74. * |
Thus We turned it upside down and rained upon them hard stones.
|
|
75. * |
Surely in this are signs for those who take a lesson.
|
|
76. * |
And it is on a road that still abides.
|
|
77. * |
Verily therein is a sign for the believers.
|
|
78. * |
And the dwellers of the thicket were indeed iniquitous:
|
|
79. * |
So We inflicted retribution on them. And they are both on an open high road.
|
|
80. * |
And the dwellers of the Rock indeed rejected the messengers;
|
|
81. * |
And We gave them Our messages, but they turned away from them:
|
|
82. * |
And they hewed houses in the mountains, in security.
|
|
83. * |
So the cry overtook them in the morning;
|
|
84. * |
And what they earned availed them not.
|
|
85. * |
And We created not the heavens and the earth and what is between them but with truth. And the Hour is surely coming, so turn away with kindly forgiveness.
|
|
86. * |
Surely thy Lord -- He is the Creator, the Knower.
|
|
87. * |
And certainly We have given thee seven oft-repeated (verses) and the grand Qur’an.
|
|
88. * |
Strain not thine eyes at what We have given certain classes of them to enjoy, and grieve not for them, and make thyself gentle to the believers.
|
|
89. * |
And say: I am indeed the plain Wagner.
|
|
90. * |
Like as We sent down on them who took oaths,
|
|
91. * |
Those who divided the Qur’an into parts.
|
|
92. * |
So, by thy Lord! We shall question them all.
|
|
93. * |
As to what they did.
|
|
94. * |
Therefore declare openly what thou art commanded, and turn away from he polytheists.
|
|
95. * |
Surely We are sufficient for thee against the scoffers --
|
|
96. * |
Those who set up another god with Allah; so they will come to know.
|
|
97. * |
And We know indeed that thy breast straitens at what they say;
|
|
98. * |
So celebrate the praise of thy Lord, and be of those who make obeisance.
|
|
99. * |
And serve thy Lord, until there comes to thee that which is certain.
