| 1. * | Nun. By the pen and what they write.[1] |
| 2. * | By the grace of your Lord you are not a madman,[2] |
| 3. * | and you shall have a never ending reward.[3] |
| 4. * | You are of the highest noble character.[4] |
| 5. * | Soon you will see - as they will see[5] |
| 6. * | - which of you is afflicted with madness.[6] |
| 7. * | Surely it is your Lord Who knows those who have strayed from His Way, as He knows best those who are rightly guided.[7] |
| 8. * | So do not yield to the unbelievers.[8] |
| 9. * | They desire you to compromise a little, so they too would compromise.[9] |
| 10. * | Neither yield to any mean oath-monger,[10] |
| 11. * | mischief making slanderer,[11] |
| 12. * | opponent of good, transgressor,[12] |
| 13. * | wicked oppressor, and above all, ignoble by birth,[13] |
| 14. * | though he be possessing wealth and children.[14] |
| 15. * | When Our revelations are recited to him , he says: "They are nothing but the tales of the ancients."[15] |
| 16. * | Soon We shall brand him on the snout.[16] |
| 17. * | Surely We shall try them as We tried the owners of the garden when they swore that they would pluck its fruit the next morning,[17] |
| 18. * | without adding any reservation ( such as God willing).[18] |
| 19. * | So a calamity from your Lord came down upon it while they slept,[19] |
| 20. * | and by the morning it lay as if it had been already harvested.[20] |
| 21. * | At daybreak they called out to one another,[21] |
| 22. * | saying: "Go out early to your crop, if you want to pick its fruit."[22] |
| 23. * | So they went, whispering to one another:[23] |
| 24. * | Let no needy person enter upon you in the garden today.[24] |
| 25. * | Thus they went out, fixed in their stingy resolve (not to give any fruit to the poor people, as if they had the full control over harvesting the fruit).[25] |
| 26. * | But when they saw the garden, they cried: "Surely we must have lost our way![26] |
| 27. * | Nay, we have become destitute."[27] |
| 28. * | The most upright among them said: "Did I not tell you to glorify Allah? Why did you not glorify Him?"[28] |
| 29. * | Then they said: "Glory be to our Lord! Surely we were unjust,"[29] |
| 30. * | and they started blaming one another.[30] |
| 31. * | Finally they said: "Woe to us! Surely we had become rebellious.[31] |
| 32. * | It may be that our Lord will give us in exchange a better garden than this: surely to our Lord do we make our humble petition."[32] |
| 33. * | Such is the punishment in this life; but the punishment in the Hereafter is even greater, if they but knew it.[33] |
| 34. * | Surely the righteous will be rewarded with gardens of delight by their Lord.[34] |
| 35. * | What do the disbelievers think? Shall We treat the Muslims as We treat the guilty?[35] |
| 36. * | What is the matter with you? What kind of Judgment do you make?[36] |
| 37. * | Or do you have a Book in which you read,[37] |
| 38. * | that you shall be given whatever you choose?[38] |
| 39. * | Or do you have a sworn covenant - a covenant binding on Us till the Day of Resurrection - that you shall have whatever you demand?[39] |
| 40. * | Ask if any of them will vouch for that.[40] |
| 41. * | Or do they have other gods who could help them against Allah? If so, let them produce their other gods if they are truthful.[41] |
| 42. * | On the Day of Judgment, when the dreadful events shall be unfolded, and they shall be asked to prostrate themselves, they shall not be able to do so.[42] |
| 43. * | They shall stand with eyes downcast, utterly humbled; because during their safe and sound earthly life they were called upon to prostrate themselves but they refused to do so.[43] |
| 44. * | O Prophet, leave to Me those who reject this revelation. We shall lead them step by step to their ruin, in ways that they cannot perceive.[44] |
| 45. * | I shall even put up with them for a while; for My plan is fool proof.[45] |
| 46. * | Or have you, O Prophet, demanded a compensation from them, that they are overburdened with debt?[46] |
| 47. * | Or do they have the knowledge of the unseen and they are writing it down?[47] |
| 48. * | So wait with patience for the Judgment of your Lord and be not like the man of the fish (reference is to the Prophet Jonah who was swallowed by a whale), who cried when he was in distress[48] |
| 49. * | Had his Lord not bestowed on him His grace, he would certainly have been cast off on the naked shore, while he was condemned.[49] |
| 50. * | But his Lord choose him and included him among the righteous.[50] |
| 51. * | The unbelievers would almost trip you up with their eyes when they hear Our revelations (The Qur’an), and say: "He (Muhammad) is surely crazy."[51] |
| 52. * | This (The Qur’an) is nothing but a Reminder to all the people of the world.[52] |
