1. * |
By those who set the ranks in battle order
|
|
2. * |
And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof
|
|
3. * |
And those who read (the Word) for a reminder,
|
|
4. * |
Lo! thy Lord is surely One;
|
|
5. * |
Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the sun's risings.
|
|
6. * |
Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets;
|
|
7. * |
With security from every froward devil.
|
|
8. * |
They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side,
|
|
9. * |
Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment;
|
|
10. * |
Save him who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame.
|
|
11. * |
Then ask them (O Muhammad): Are they stronger as a creation, or those (others) whom we have created? Lo! We created them of plastic clay.
|
|
12. * |
Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock
|
|
13. * |
And heed not when they are reminded,
|
|
14. * |
And seek to scoff when they behold a portent.
|
|
15. * |
And they say: Lo! this is mere magic;
|
|
16. * |
When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again)?
|
|
17. * |
And our forefathers?
|
|
18. * |
Say (O Muhammad): Ye, in truth; and ye will be brought low.
|
|
19. * |
There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold,
|
|
20. * |
And say: Ah, woe for us! This is the Day of Judgment.
|
|
21. * |
This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny.
|
|
22. * |
(And it is said unto the angels): Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives and what they used to worship
|
|
23. * |
Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell;
|
|
24. * |
And stop them, for they must be questioned.
|
|
25. * |
What aileth you that ye help not one another?
|
|
26. * |
Nay, but this day they make full submission.
|
|
27. * |
And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.
|
|
28. * |
They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us, imposing, (swearing that ye spoke the truth).
|
|
29. * |
They answer: Nay, but ye (yourselves) were not believers.
|
|
30. * |
We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk.
|
|
31. * |
Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. Lo! we are about to taste (the doom).
|
|
32. * |
Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray.
|
|
33. * |
Then lo! this day they (both) are sharers in the doom.
|
|
34. * |
Lo! thus deal We with the guilty.
|
|
35. * |
For when it was said unto them, There is no Allah save Allah, they were scornful
|
|
36. * |
And said: Shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet?
|
|
37. * |
Nay, but he brought the Truth, and he confirmed those sent (before him).
|
|
38. * |
Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom -
|
|
39. * |
Ye are requited naught save what ye did -
|
|
40. * |
Save single-minded slaves of Allah;
|
|
41. * |
For them there is a known provision,
|
|
42. * |
Fruits. And they will be honoured
|
|
43. * |
In the Gardens of delight,
|
|
44. * |
On couches facing one another;
|
|
45. * |
A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them,
|
|
46. * |
White, delicious to the drinkers,
|
|
47. * |
Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby.
|
|
48. * |
And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes,
|
|
49. * |
(Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich).
|
|
50. * |
And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.
|
|
51. * |
A speaker of them saith: Lo! I had a comrade
|
|
52. * |
Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words)?
|
|
53. * |
Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones - can we (then) verily be brought to book?
|
|
54. * |
He saith: Will ye look?
|
|
55. * |
Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell.
|
|
56. * |
He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin,
|
|
57. * |
And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom).
|
|
58. * |
Are we then not to die
|
|
59. * |
Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished?
|
|
60. * |
Lo! this is the supreme triumph.
|
|
61. * |
For the like of this, then, let the workers work.
|
|
62. * |
Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum?
|
|
63. * |
Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong-doers.
|
|
64. * |
Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell.
|
|
65. * |
Its crop is as it were the heads of devils
|
|
66. * |
And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith.
|
|
67. * |
And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water
|
|
68. * |
And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell.
|
|
69. * |
They indeed found their fathers astray,
|
|
70. * |
But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps.
|
|
71. * |
And verily most of the men of old went astray before them,
|
|
72. * |
And verily We sent among them warners.
|
|
73. * |
Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned,
|
|
74. * |
Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
|
|
75. * |
And Noah verily prayed unto Us, and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer
|
|
76. * |
And We saved him and his household from the great distress,
|
|
77. * |
And made his seed the survivors,
|
|
78. * |
And left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
|
|
79. * |
Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!
|
|
80. * |
Lo! thus do We reward the good.
|
|
81. * |
Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.
|
|
82. * |
Then We did drown the others.
|
|
83. * |
And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham
|
|
84. * |
When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart;
|
|
85. * |
When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship?
|
|
86. * |
Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire?
|
|
87. * |
What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds?
|
|
88. * |
And he glanced a glance at the stars
|
|
89. * |
Then said: Lo! I feel sick!
|
|
90. * |
And they turned their backs and went away from him.
|
|
91. * |
Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat?
|
|
92. * |
What aileth you that ye speak not?
|
|
93. * |
Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand.
|
|
94. * |
And (his people) came toward him, hastening.
|
|
95. * |
He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve
|
|
96. * |
When Allah hath created you and what ye make?
|
|
97. * |
They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red-hotfire.
|
|
98. * |
And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost.
|
|
99. * |
And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me.
|
|
100. * |
My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous.
|
|
101. * |
So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.
|
|
102. * |
And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast.
|
|
103. * |
Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,
|
|
104. * |
We called unto him: O Abraham!
|
|
105. * |
Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good.
|
|
106. * |
Lo! that verily was a clear test.
|
|
107. * |
Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.
|
|
108. * |
And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
|
|
109. * |
Peace be unto Abraham!
|
|
110. * |
Thus do We reward the good.
|
|
111. * |
Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.
|
|
112. * |
And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous.
|
|
113. * |
And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves.
|
|
114. * |
And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron,
|
|
115. * |
And saved them and their people from the great distress,
|
|
116. * |
And helped them so that they became the victors.
|
|
117. * |
And We gave them the clear Scripture
|
|
118. * |
And showed them the right path.
|
|
119. * |
And We left for them among the later folk (the salutation):
|
|
120. * |
Peace be unto Moses and Aaron!
|
|
121. * |
Lo! thus do We reward the good.
|
|
122. * |
Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves.
|
|
123. * |
And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn),
|
|
124. * |
When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil)?
|
|
125. * |
Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators,
|
|
126. * |
Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers?
|
|
127. * |
But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom)
|
|
128. * |
Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
|
|
129. * |
And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
|
|
130. * |
Peace be unto Elias!
|
|
131. * |
Lo! thus do We reward the good.
|
|
132. * |
Lo! he is one of our believing slaves.
|
|
133. * |
And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn).
|
|
134. * |
When We saved him and his household, every one,
|
|
135. * |
Save an old woman among those who stayed behind;
|
|
136. * |
Then We destroyed the others.
|
|
137. * |
And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning
|
|
138. * |
And at night-time; have ye then no sense?
|
|
139. * |
And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn)
|
|
140. * |
When he fled unto the laden ship,
|
|
141. * |
And then drew lots and was of those rejected;
|
|
142. * |
And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;
|
|
143. * |
And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)
|
|
144. * |
He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised;
|
|
145. * |
Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick;
|
|
146. * |
And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him;
|
|
147. * |
And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more
|
|
148. * |
And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.
|
|
149. * |
Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons?
|
|
150. * |
Or created We the angels females while they were present?
|
|
151. * |
Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say:
|
|
152. * |
Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie.
|
|
153. * |
(And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons.
|
|
154. * |
What aileth you? How judge ye?
|
|
155. * |
Will ye not then reflect?
|
|
156. * |
Or have ye a clear warrant?
|
|
157. * |
Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful.
|
|
158. * |
And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).
|
|
159. * |
Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him),
|
|
160. * |
Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
|
|
161. * |
Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship,
|
|
162. * |
Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him.
|
|
163. * |
Save him who is to burn in hell.
|
|
164. * |
There is not one of us but hath his known position.
|
|
165. * |
Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks,
|
|
166. * |
Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise
|
|
167. * |
And indeed they used to say:
|
|
168. * |
If we had but a reminder from the men of old
|
|
169. * |
We would be single-minded slaves of Allah.
|
|
170. * |
Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.
|
|
171. * |
And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)
|
|
172. * |
That they verily would be helped,
|
|
173. * |
And that Our host, they verily would be the victors.
|
|
174. * |
So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile,
|
|
175. * |
And watch, for they will (soon) see.
|
|
176. * |
Would they hasten on Our doom?
|
|
177. * |
But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned.
|
|
178. * |
Withdraw from them awhile
|
|
179. * |
And watch, for they will (soon) see.
|
|
180. * |
Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him)
|
|
181. * |
And peace be unto those sent (to warn).
|
|
182. * |
And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!
|
