| 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. |
