1. * |
By those ranging in ranks,
|
|
2. * |
And those who restrain holding in restraint,
|
|
3. * |
And those who recite the Reminder,
|
|
4. * |
Surely your God is One.
|
|
5. * |
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and the Lord of the eastern lands.
|
|
6. * |
Surely We have adorned the lower heaven with an adornment, the stars,
|
|
7. * |
And (there is) a safeguard against every rebellious devil.
|
|
8. * |
They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are reproached from every side,
|
|
9. * |
Driven off; and for them is a perpetual chastisement,
|
|
10. * |
Except him who snatches away but once, then there follows him a brightly shining flame.
|
|
11. * |
So ask them whether they are stronger in creation or those (others) whom We have created. Surely We created them of firm clay.
|
|
12. * |
Nay, thou wonderest, while they mock,
|
|
13. * |
And when they are reminded, they mind not,
|
|
14. * |
And when they see a sign, they seek to scoff,
|
|
15. * |
And say: This is nothing but clear enchantment.
|
|
16. * |
When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be raised,
|
|
17. * |
Or our fathers of yore?
|
|
18. * |
Say: Yea, and you will be humiliated.
|
|
19. * |
So it will be but one cry, when lo! they will see.
|
|
20. * |
And they will say: O woe to us! This is the day of Requital.
|
|
21. * |
This is the day of Judgment, which you called a lie.
|
|
22. * |
Gather together those who did wrong and their associates, and what they worshipped
|
|
23. * |
Besides Allah, then lead them to the way to hell.
|
|
24. * |
And stop them, for they shall be questioned:
|
|
25. * |
What is the matter with you that you help not one another?
|
|
26. * |
Nay, on that day they will be submissive.
|
|
27. * |
And some of them will turn to others mutually questioning --
|
|
28. * |
Saying: Surely you used to come to us from the right side.
|
|
29. * |
They will say: Nay, you (yourselves) were not believers.
|
|
30. * |
And we had no authority over you, but you were an inordinate people.
|
|
31. * |
So the word of our Lord has proved true against us: we shall surely taste.
|
|
32. * |
We led you astray, for we ourselves were erring.
|
|
33. * |
So, that day they will be sharers in the chastisement.
|
|
34. * |
Thus do We deal with the guilty.
|
|
35. * |
They indeed were arrogant, when it was said to them: There is no god but Allah;
|
|
36. * |
And said: Shall we give up our gods for a mad poet?
|
|
37. * |
Nay, he has brought the Truth and verifies the messengers.
|
|
38. * |
Surely you will taste the painful chastisement.
|
|
39. * |
And you are requited naught but for what you did --
|
|
40. * |
Save the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
|
|
41. * |
For them is a known sustenance:
|
|
42. * |
Fruits. And they are honoured,
|
|
43. * |
In Gardens of delight,
|
|
44. * |
On thrones, facing each other.
|
|
45. * |
A bowl of running water will be made to go round them,
|
|
46. * |
White, delicious to those who drink.
|
|
47. * |
It deprives not of reason, nor are they exhausted therewith.
|
|
48. * |
And with them are those modest in gaze, having beautiful eyes,
|
|
49. * |
As if they were eggs, carefully protected.
|
|
50. * |
Then some of them will turn to others, questioning mutually.
|
|
51. * |
A speaker of them will say: Surely I had a comrade,
|
|
52. * |
Who said: Art thou indeed of those who accept?
|
|
53. * |
When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be requited?
|
|
54. * |
He will say: Will you look?
|
|
55. * |
Then he looked down and saw him in the midst of hell.
|
|
56. * |
He will say: By Allah! thou hadst almost caused me to perish;
|
|
57. * |
And had it not been for favour of my Lord, I should have been among those brought up.
|
|
58. * |
Are we not to die,
|
|
59. * |
Except our previous death? And are we not to be chastised?
|
|
60. * |
Surely this is the mighty achievement.
|
|
61. * |
For the like of this, then, let the workers work.
|
|
62. * |
Is this the better entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum?
|
|
63. * |
Surely We have made it a trial for the wrongdoers.
|
|
64. * |
It is a tree that grows in the bottom of hell --
|
|
65. * |
Then truly they will eat of it and fill (their) bellies with it.
|
|
66. * |
Then surely they shall have after it a drink of boiling water.
|
|
67. * |
Then their return is surely to the flaming Fire.
|
|
68. * |
They indeed found their fathers astray,
|
|
69. * |
So in their footsteps they are hastening on.
|
|
70. * |
And most of the ancients surely went astray before them,
|
|
71. * |
And indeed We sent among them warners.
|
|
72. * |
Then see what was the end of those warned --
|
|
73. * |
Except the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
|
|
74. * |
And Noah certainly called upon Us, and excellent Answerer of prayers are We!
|
|
75. * |
Its produce is as it were the heads of serpents.
|
|
76. * |
And We delivered him and his people from the great distress;
|
|
77. * |
And made his offspring the survivors,
|
|
78. * |
And left for him (praise) among the later generations,
|
|
79. * |
Peace be to Noah among the nations!
|
|
80. * |
Thus indeed do We reward the doers of good.
|
|
81. * |
Surely he was of Our believing servants.
|
|
82. * |
Then We drowned the others.
|
|
83. * |
And surely of his party was Abraham.
|
|
84. * |
When he came to his Lord with a secure heart.
|
|
85. * |
When he said to his sire and his people: What is it that you worship?
|
|
86. * |
A lie -- gods besides Allah do you desire?
|
|
87. * |
What is then your idea about the Lord of the worlds?
|
|
88. * |
Then he glanced a glance at the stars,
|
|
89. * |
And said: Surely I am sick (of your deities).
|
|
90. * |
So they turned their backs on him, going away.
|
|
91. * |
Then he turned to their gods and said: Do you not eat?
|
|
92. * |
What is the matter with you that you speak not?
|
|
93. * |
So he turned upon them, smiting with the right hand.
|
|
94. * |
Then they came to him, hastening.
|
|
95. * |
He said: Do you worship that which you hew out?
|
|
96. * |
And Allah has created you and what you make.
|
|
97. * |
They said: Build for him a building, then cast him into the flaming fire.
|
|
98. * |
And they designed a plan against him, but We brought them low.
|
|
99. * |
And he said: Surely I flee to my Lord -- He will guide me.
|
|
100. * |
My Lord, grant me a doer of good deeds.
|
|
101. * |
So We gave him the good news of a forbearing son.
|
|
102. * |
But when he became of (age to) work with him, he said: O my son, I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice thee: so consider what thou seest. He said: O my father, do as thou art commanded; if Allah please, thou wilt find me patient.
|
|
103. * |
So when they both submitted and he had thrown him down upon his forehead,
|
|
104. * |
And We called out to him saying, O Abraham,
|
|
105. * |
Thou has indeed fulfilled the vision. Thus do We reward the doers of good.
|
|
106. * |
Surely this is a manifest trial.
|
|
107. * |
And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice.
|
|
108. * |
And We granted him among the later generations (the salutation),
|
|
109. * |
Peace to be Abraham!
|
|
110. * |
Thus do We reward the doers of good.
|
|
111. * |
Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
|
|
112. * |
And We gave him the good news of Isaac, a prophet, a righteous one.
|
|
113. * |
And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their offspring some are doers of good, but some are clearly unjust to themselves.
|
|
114. * |
And certainly We conferred a favour on Moses and Aaron.
|
|
115. * |
And We delivered them, and their people from the mighty distress.
|
|
116. * |
And We helped them, so they were the vanquishers.
|
|
117. * |
And We gave them both the clear Book.
|
|
118. * |
And We guided them on the right way.
|
|
119. * |
And We granted them among the later generations (the salutation),
|
|
120. * |
Peace be to Moses and Aaron!
|
|
121. * |
Thus do We reward the doers of good.
|
|
122. * |
Surely they were both of Our believing servants.
|
|
123. * |
And Elias was surely of those sent.
|
|
124. * |
When he said to his people: Will you not guard against evil?
|
|
125. * |
Do you call upon Ba’l and forsake the Best of the creators,
|
|
126. * |
Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore?
|
|
127. * |
But they rejected him, so they shall be brought up,
|
|
128. * |
But not the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
|
|
129. * |
And We granted him among the later generations (the salutation),
|
|
130. * |
Peace be to Elias!
|
|
131. * |
Even thus We reward the doers of good.
|
|
132. * |
Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
|
|
133. * |
And Lot was surely of those sent.
|
|
134. * |
When We delivered him and his people, all --
|
|
135. * |
Except an old woman among those who remained behind.
|
|
136. * |
Then We destroyed the others.
|
|
137. * |
And surely you pass by them in the morning,
|
|
138. * |
And at night. Do you not then understand?
|
|
139. * |
And Jonah was surely of those sent.
|
|
140. * |
When he fled to the laden ship,
|
|
141. * |
So he shared with others but was of those cast away.
|
|
142. * |
So the fish took him into its mouth while he was blamable.
|
|
143. * |
But had he not been of those who glorify (Us),
|
|
144. * |
He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised.
|
|
145. * |
Then We cast him on the naked shore, while he was sick.
|
|
146. * |
And We caused a gourd to grow up for him.
|
|
147. * |
And We sent him to a hundred thousand or more.
|
|
148. * |
And they believed, so We gave them provision till a time.
|
|
149. * |
Now ask them whether thy Lord has daughters and they have sons?
|
|
150. * |
Or did We create the angels females, while they witnessed?
|
|
151. * |
Now surely it is of their own lie that they say:
|
|
152. * |
Allah has begotten. And truly they are liars.
|
|
153. * |
Has He preferred daughters to sons?
|
|
154. * |
What is the matter with you? How you judge!
|
|
155. * |
Will you not then mind?
|
|
156. * |
Or have you a clear authority?
|
|
157. * |
Then bring your Book, if you are truthful.
|
|
158. * |
And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn. And certainly the jinn know that they will be brought up (for judgment) --
|
|
159. * |
Glory be to Allah from what they describe! --
|
|
160. * |
But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
|
|
161. * |
So surely you and that which you serve,
|
|
162. * |
Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial,
|
|
163. * |
Save him who will burn in the flaming Fire.
|
|
164. * |
And there is none of us but has an assigned place,
|
|
165. * |
And we truly glorify (Him).
|
|
166. * |
And surely they used to say:
|
|
167. * |
Had we a reminder from those of yore,
|
|
168. * |
We would have been sincere servants of Allah.
|
|
169. * |
But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come to know.
|
|
170. * |
And certainly Our word has already gone forth to Our servants, to those sent,
|
|
171. * |
That they, surely they, will be helped,
|
|
172. * |
And Our hosts, surely they, will be triumphant.
|
|
173. * |
So turn away from them till a time,
|
|
174. * |
And watch them, they too will see.
|
|
175. * |
Would they hasten on Our chastisement?
|
|
176. * |
So when it descends in their court, evil will be the morning of the warned ones.
|
|
177. * |
And turn away from them till a time,
|
|
178. * |
And watch, for they too will see.
|
|
179. * |
Glory be to thy Lord, the Lord of Might, above what they describe!
|
|
180. * |
And peace be to those sent!
|
|
181. * |
And praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds!
|
|
182. * |
And verily we are ranged in ranks,
|
|
