| 1. * | Alif. Lam. Ra. These are the verses of the Book and the glorious Quran. |
| 2. * | How strongly the unbelievers will wish that they had been Muslims. |
| 3. * | (Muhammad), leave them alone to eat and enjoy themselves and let their desires deceive them; they will soon know (the Truth). |
| 4. * | We never destroyed any town without pre-ordaining the fate of its people. |
| 5. * | Every nation can only live for the time appointed for it. |
| 6. * | (The unbelievers have said), "You to whom the Quran has been revealed are insane. |
| 7. * | Why do you not bring down the angels if what you say is true". |
| 8. * | We do not send down angels except for a genuine purpose, at which time none will be given any further respite. |
| 9. * | We Ourselves have revealed the Quran and We are its Protectors. |
| 10. * | We sent Messengers to the ancient people who lived before you. |
| 11. * | No Messenger went to them whom they did not mock. |
| 12. * | This is how We cause the hearts of the guilty ones to behave. |
| 13. * | They do not believe in the Truth and they exactly follow the tradition of the ancient (unbelievers) |
| 14. * | Had We opened a door for them in the sky through which they could easily pass, |
| 15. * | they would have said, "Our eyes are bewildered and we have been affected by magic." |
| 16. * | We have made constellations in the sky and decorated them for the onlookers. |
| 17. * | We have protected them from every condemned devil, |
| 18. * | except for those who stealthily try to listen to the heavens, but who are chased away by a bright flame. |
| 19. * | We have spread out the earth, fixed mountains thereupon and caused everything to grow to its proper weight |
| 20. * | to provide you and those for whose sustenance you are not responsible, with the necessities of life. |
| 21. * | With Us is the source of everything and We do not send it down except in a known quantity. |
| 22. * | We send impregnating winds and send down water from the sky for you to drink and you have no (control over its) storage. |
| 23. * | It is We who give life and cause things to die and We are the sole Heirs. |
| 24. * | We know the people who lived before you and those who will come into existence after you. |
| 25. * | Your Lord will resurrect them all; He is All-wise and All-knowing. |
| 26. * | We have created the human being out of pure mud-moulded clay |
| 27. * | and the jinn before (the human being) of smokeless fire. |
| 28. * | When your Lord said to the angels, "I will create the human being out of pure mud-moulded clay. |
| 29. * | When it is properly shaped and I have blown My Spirit into it, you should then bow down in prostration". |
| 30. * | All the angels prostrated before Adam |
| 31. * | except Iblis who refused to join with the others in prostration. |
| 32. * | God asked Iblis, "What made you not join the others in prostration?". |
| 33. * | Iblis replied, "I did not want to prostrate before a human being whom You have created out of mud-moulded clay". |
| 34. * | God told him, "Get out of the garden; you are rejected |
| 35. * | and will be subjected to condemnation until the Day of Judgment." |
| 36. * | Iblis prayed, "Lord, grant me respite until the Day of Judgment". |
| 37. * | The Lord said, "Your request is granted |
| 38. * | for an appointed time." |
| 39. * | Iblis said, "Lord, because you have caused me to go astray, I shall make earthly things attractive to (people) and mislead all of them |
| 40. * | except Your sincere servants". |
| 41. * | God said, "The path which leads to Me is a straight |
| 42. * | and you have no authority over My servants except the erring ones who follow you. |
| 43. * | Hell is the promised place for them all. |
| 44. * | It has seven gates and each gate is assigned for a certain group of people. |
| 45. * | The pious will live in gardens with streams |
| 46. * | and they will be told to enter there in peace and safety. |
| 47. * | We shall remove all hatred from their breasts and make them as brothers reclining on thrones facing one another. |
| 48. * | No fatigue will touch them nor will they be expelled therefrom." |
| 49. * | (Muhammad), tell My servants that I am All-forgiving and All-merciful |
| 50. * | and that My punishment is a painful one. |
| 51. * | Tell them about the guests of Abraham |
| 52. * | who came to him saying, "Peace be with you." Abraham said, "We are afraid of you". |
| 53. * | They replied, "Do not be afraid. We have brought you the glad news of (the birth) of a learned son". |
| 54. * | Abraham asked, "Are you giving me the glad news of a son in my old age? What reason can you give for such glad news?" |
| 55. * | They said, "We have given you the glad news for a true reason so do not despair". |
| 56. * | He said, "No one despairs of the mercy of his Lord except those who are in error. |
| 57. * | Messengers, what is your task?". |
| 58. * | They said, "We are sent to a sinful people. |
| 59. * | Only the family of Lot will all be saved, |
| 60. * | except his wife who is doomed to be left behind." |
| 61. * | When the Messengers came to the family of Lot, |
| 62. * | he said, "You seem to be strangers". |
| 63. * | They replied, "We have come to you about the matter which the (unbelievers) have rejected. |
| 64. * | We have come to you for a genuine purpose and We are true in what we say. |
| 65. * | Leave the town with your family sometime during the night. Walk behind them and let no one turn around. Proceed as you are commanded." |
| 66. * | We informed him that the unbelievers would be utterly destroyed. |
| 67. * | The people of the town rejoicingly |
| 68. * | rushed towards the house of Lot. Lot said to them, "These are my guests. Do not disgrace me. |
| 69. * | Have fear of God and do not humiliate me". |
| 70. * | They replied, "Did we not forbid you to bring anyone to your house?". |
| 71. * | Lot said, "These are my daughters if you want them." |
| 72. * | By your life! In their drunkenness they were truly blind. |
| 73. * | An explosion struck them at sunrise. |
| 74. * | We turned the town upside-down and showered on them lumps of baked clay. |
| 75. * | In this there is evidence (of the Truth) for the prudent ones. |
| 76. * | That town lies on a road which still exists. |
| 77. * | In this there is evidence (of the Truth) for the believers. |
| 78. * | Since the People of the Forest were unjust, |
| 79. * | We afflicted them with punishment. Both people had clear (divine) authority among them. |
| 80. * | People of Hijr rejected the Messengers. |
| 81. * | We showed them miracles but they ignored them. |
| 82. * | They would carve secure houses out of the mountains. |
| 83. * | An explosion struck them in the morning. |
| 84. * | Out of what they had gained, nothing proved to be of any benefit to them. |
| 85. * | We have created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, for a genuine purpose. The Day of Judgment will certainly approach, so (Muhammad) forgive them graciously. |
| 86. * | Your Lord is certainly the All-knowing Creator. |
| 87. * | (Muhammad), We have given you the seven most repeated (verses) and the great Quran. |
| 88. * | Do not yearn for other people's property and wives and do not grieve (that they do not believe). Be kind to the believers. |
| 89. * | Say, "Indeed, I am simply one who warns." |
| 90. * | (We have given you the Quran) as We had given (the Bible) to those who divided themselves into groups |
| 91. * | and also divided the Quran believing in some parts and rejecting others. |
| 92. * | By the Lord, We will hold them all responsible |
| 93. * | for what they have done. |
| 94. * | Preach what you have been commanded to and stay away from the pagans. |
| 95. * | We shall help you against those who mock you |
| 96. * | and believe other things to be equal to God. They will soon know the truth. |
| 97. * | We certainly know that you feel sad about what they say against you. |
| 98. * | Glorify and praise your Lord and be with those who prostrate themselves before God. |
| 99. * | Worship your Lord until you achieve the ultimate certainty. |
