| 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, |
