| 1. * | Almighty (God)! By the glorious Qur’an! |
| 2. * | Nay, they wonder that a warner has come to them from among themselves; so the disbelievers say: This is a wonderful thing! |
| 3. * | When we die and become dust -- that is a far return. |
| 4. * | We know indeed what the earth diminishes of them and with Us is a book that preserves. |
| 5. * | Nay, they reject the Truth when it comes to them, so they are in a state of confusion. |
| 6. * | Do they not look at the sky above them? -- how We have made it and adorned it and it has no gaps. |
| 7. * | And the earth, We have spread it out, and cast therein mountains, and We have made to grow therein of every beautiful kind -- |
| 8. * | To give sight and as a reminder to every servant who turns (to Allah). |
| 9. * | And We send down from the clouds water abounding in good, then We cause to grow thereby gardens and the grain that is reaped, |
| 10. * | And the tall palm-trees having flower spikes piled one above another -- |
| 11. * | A sustenance for the servants, and We give life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the rising. |
| 12. * | Before them the people of Noah rejected (the Truth) and (so did) the dwellers of Al-Rads and Thamud |
| 13. * | And ‘Ad and Pharaoh and Lot’s brethren, |
| 14. * | And the dwellers of the grove and the people of Tubba. They all rejected the messengers, so My threat came to pass. |
| 15. * | Were We then fatigued with the first creation? Yet they are in doubt about a new creation. |
| 16. * | And certainly We created man, and We know what his mind suggests to him -- and We are nearer to him than his life-vein. |
| 17. * | When the two receivers receive, sitting on the right and on the left, |
| 18. * | He utters not a word but there is by him a watcher at hand. |
| 19. * | And the stupor of death comes in truth; that is what thou wouldst shun. |
| 20. * | And the trumpet is blown. That is the day of threatening. |
| 21. * | And every soul comes, with it a driver and a witness. |
| 22. * | Thou wast indeed heedless of this, but now We have removed from thee thy veil, so thy sight is sharp this day. |
| 23. * | And his companion will say: This is what is ready with me. |
| 24. * | Cast into hell every ungrateful, rebellious one, |
| 25. * | Forbidder of good, exceeder of limits, doubter, |
| 26. * | Who sets up another god with Allah, so cast him into severe chastisement. |
| 27. * | His companion will say: Our Lord, I did not cause him to rebel but he himself went far in error. |
| 28. * | He will say: Dispute not in My presence, and indeed I gave you warning beforehand. |
| 29. * | My sentence cannot be changed, nor am I in the least unjust to the servants. |
| 30. * | On the day when We say to hell: Art thou filled up? And it will say: Are there any more? |
| 31. * | And the Garden is brought near for those who guard against evil -- (it is) not distant. |
| 32. * | This is what you are promised -- for every one turning (to Allah), keeping (the limits) -- |
| 33. * | Who fears the Beneficent in secret, and comes with a penitent heart: |
| 34. * | Enter it in peace. That is the day of abiding. |
| 35. * | For them therein is all they wish, and with Us is yet more. |
| 36. * | And how many a generation We destroyed before them who were mightier in prowess than they! so they went about in the lands. Is there a place of refuge? |
| 37. * | Surely there is a reminder in this for him who has a heart or he gives ear and is a witness. |
| 38. * | And certainly We created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six periods, and no fatigue touched Us. |
| 39. * | So bear with what they say, and celebrate the praise of thy Lord before the rising of the sun and before the setting. |
| 40. * | And glorify Him in the night and after prostration. |
| 41. * | And listen on the day when the crier cries from a near place -- |
| 42. * | The day when they hear the cry in truth. That is the day of coming forth. |
| 43. * | Surely We give life and cause to die, and to Us is the eventual coming -- |
| 44. * | The day when the earth cleaves asunder from them, hastening forth. That is a gathering easy to Us. |
| 45. * | We know best what they say, and thou art not one to compel them. So remind by means of the Qur’an him who fears My threat. |
