| 1. * | Beneficent God! |
| 2. * | By the Book that makes it manifest! |
| 3. * | We revealed it on a blessed night -- truly We are ever warning. |
| 4. * | Therein is made clear every affair full of wisdom -- |
| 5. * | A command from Us -- truly We are ever sending messengers -- |
| 6. * | A mercy from thy Lord -- truly He is the Hearing, the Knowing, |
| 7. * | The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure. |
| 8. * | There is no God but He; He gives life and causes death -- your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore. |
| 9. * | Nay, in doubt they sport. |
| 10. * | So wait for the day when the heaven brings a clear drought, |
| 11. * | Enveloping men. This is a painful chastisement. |
| 12. * | Our Lord, remove from us the chastisement -- surely we are believers. |
| 13. * | When will they be reminded? And a Messenger has indeed come, making clear; |
| 14. * | Yet they turned away from him and said: One taught (by others); a madman! |
| 15. * | We shall remove the chastisement a little, (but) you will surely return (to evil). |
| 16. * | On the day when We seize (them) with the most violent seizing; surely We shall exact retribution. |
| 17. * | And certainly We tried before them Pharaoh’s people and a nobel messenger came to them, |
| 18. * | Saying: Deliver to me the servants of Allah. Surely I am a faithful messenger to you. |
| 19. * | And exalt not yourselves against Allah. Surely I bring to you a clear authority. |
| 20. * | And I take refuge with my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me to death. |
| 21. * | And if you believe not in me, leave me alone. |
| 22. * | Then he called upon his Lord: These are a guilty people. |
| 23. * | So go forth with My servants by night; surely you will be pursued, |
| 24. * | And leave the sea behind calm. Surely they are a host to be drowned. |
| 25. * | How many the gardens and springs they left behind! |
| 26. * | And cornfields and noble places! |
| 27. * | And goodly things wherein they rejoiced! |
| 28. * | Thus (it was). And We made other people inherit them. |
| 29. * | So the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they respited. |
| 30. * | And We indeed delivered the Children of Israel from the abasing chastisement, |
| 31. * | From Pharaoh. Surely he was haughty, prodigal. |
| 32. * | And certainly We chose them above the nations, having knowledge. |
| 33. * | And We gave them signs wherein was clear blessing. |
| 34. * | These do indeed say: |
| 35. * | There is naught but our first death and we shall not be raised again. |
| 36. * | So bring our fathers (back), of you are truthful. |
| 37. * | Are they better or the people of Tubba’, and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty. |
| 38. * | And We did not create the heavens and the earth and that which is between them in sport. |
| 39. * | We created them but with truth, but most of them know not. |
| 40. * | Surely the day of Decision is the term for them all, |
| 41. * | The day when friend will avail friend in naught, nor will they be helped- |
| 42. * | Save those on whom Allah has mercy. Surely He is the Mighty, the Merciful. |
| 43. * | Surely the tree of Zaqqum |
| 44. * | Is the food of the sinful, |
| 45. * | Like molten brass; it seethes in (their) bellies |
| 46. * | Like boiling water. |
| 47. * | Seize him, then drag him into the midst of hell; |
| 48. * | Then pour on his head of the torment of boiling water -- |
| 49. * | Taste -- thou art forsooth the mighty, the honourable! |
| 50. * | Surely this is what you doubted. |
| 51. * | Those who keep their duty are indeed in a secure place -- |
| 52. * | In gardens and springs, |
| 53. * | Wearing fine and thick silk, facing one another -- |
| 54. * | Thus (shall it be). And We shall join them to pure, beautiful ones. |
| 55. * | They call therein for every fruit in security -- |
| 56. * | They taste not therein death, except the first death; and He will save them from the chastisement of hell -- |
| 57. * | A grace from thy Lord. This is the great achievement. |
| 58. * | So We have made it easy in thy tongue that they may mind. |
| 59. * | Wait then; surely they (too) are waiting. |
