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]
