| 1. * | H. M. |
| 2. * | And the clarifying Scripture. |
| 3. * | We have sent it down in a blessed night. Surely, We were to warn. |
| 4. * | In it, is a decree for every matter of wisdom. |
| 5. * | A decree from Us. Surely, We were to send messengers. |
| 6. * | A mercy from your Lord. He is the Hearer, the Knowledgeable. |
| 7. * | The Lord of the heavens and the Earth, and everything between them. If you were certain! |
| 8. * | There is no god except Him. He gives life and causes death; your Lord and the Lord of your ancestors. |
| 9. * | No; they are in doubt, playing. |
| 10. * | Therefore, watch for the day when the sky will bring a visible smoke. |
| 11. * | It will envelop the people: "This is a painful retribution!" |
| 12. * | "Our Lord, remove the retribution from us; we are believers." |
| 13. * | How is it that now they remember, while a clarifying messenger had come to them? |
| 14. * | But they turned away from him and said: "Clearly educated, but crazy!" |
| 15. * | We will remove the retribution in a while; you will then revert back. |
| 16. * | On the Day We strike the great strike, We will avenge. |
| 17. * | And We had tested before them the people of Pharaoh, and an honourable messenger came to them. |
| 18. * | "Restore to me the servants of God. I am a trustworthy messenger to you." |
| 19. * | "And, do not transgress against God. I come to you with clear authority." |
| 20. * | "And I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord, should you stone me." |
| 21. * | "And if you do not wish to believe, then leave me alone." |
| 22. * | Subsequently, he called on his Lord: "These are a criminal people." |
| 23. * | You shall travel with My servants during the night; you will be pursued. |
| 24. * | And cross the sea quickly; their troops will be drowned. |
| 25. * | How many paradises and springs did they leave behind? |
| 26. * | And crops and luxurious dwellings? |
| 27. * | And blessings that they enjoyed? |
| 28. * | Thus it was!; and We caused another people to inherit it. |
| 29. * | Neither the heaven, nor the Earth wept over them, and they were not respited. |
| 30. * | And We saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating agony. |
| 31. * | From Pharaoh; he was a transgressing tyrant. |
| 32. * | And We have chosen them, out of knowledge, over the worlds. |
| 33. * | And We granted them signs, which constituted a great test. |
| 34. * | These people now are saying: |
| 35. * | "There is nothing but our first death; and we will never be resurrected!" |
| 36. * | "So bring back our forefathers, if you are truthful!" |
| 37. * | Are they better or the people of Tubba` and those before them? We destroyed them, they were criminals. |
| 38. * | And We have not created the heavens and the Earth, and everything between them, for mere play. |
| 39. * | We did not create them except with the truth, but most of them do not know. |
| 40. * | Surely, the Day of Separation is the appointment for them all. |
| 41. * | That is the Day when no friend can help his friend in any way; nor will they be helped. |
| 42. * | Except him on whom God has mercy. He is the Noble, the Merciful. |
| 43. * | Surely, the tree of Bitterness. |
| 44. * | Will be the food for the sinful. |
| 45. * | Like hot oil, it will boil in the stomachs. |
| 46. * | Like the boiling of liquid. |
| 47. * | "Take him and throw him into the midst of Hell." |
| 48. * | "Then pour upon his head the retribution of boiling liquid." |
| 49. * | "Taste this; surely you are the noble, the generous!" |
| 50. * | Surely, this is what you used to doubt! |
| 51. * | The righteous will be in a place of security. |
| 52. * | Among paradises and springs. |
| 53. * | Wearing silk and satin; facing each other. |
| 54. * | So it is, and We coupled them with wonderful companions. |
| 55. * | They enjoy in it all kinds of fruits, in perfect peace. |
| 56. * | They do not taste death therein except for the first death, and He has spared them the retribution of Hell. |
| 57. * | As a blessing from your Lord. Such is the great triumph. |
| 58. * | We have thus made it easy in your language, perhaps they may take heed. |
| 59. * | Therefore, keep watch; for they too will keep watch. |
