1. * |
Nun. By the pen and that which they write (therewith),
|
|
2. * |
Thou art not, for thy Lord's favour unto thee, a madman.
|
|
3. * |
And lo! thine verily will be a reward unfailing.
|
|
4. * |
And lo! thou art of a tremendous nature.
|
|
5. * |
And thou wilt see and they will see
|
|
6. * |
Which of you is the demented.
|
|
7. * |
Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth from His way, and He is Best Aware of those who walk aright.
|
|
8. * |
Therefor obey not thou the rejecters
|
|
9. * |
Who would have had thee compromise, that they may compromise.
|
|
10. * |
Neither obey thou each feeble oath-monger,
|
|
11. * |
Detracter, spreader abroad of slanders,
|
|
12. * |
Hinderer of the good, transgressor, malefactor
|
|
13. * |
Greedy therewithal, intrusive.
|
|
14. * |
It is because he is possessed of wealth and children
|
|
15. * |
That, when Our revelations are recited unto him, he saith: Mere fables of the men of old.
|
|
16. * |
We shall brand him on the nose.
|
|
17. * |
Lo! We have tried them as We tried the owners of the garden when they vowed that they would pluck its fruit next morning,
|
|
18. * |
And made no exception (for the Will of Allah);
|
|
19. * |
Then a visitation from thy Lord came upon it while they slept
|
|
20. * |
And in the morning it was as if plucked.
|
|
21. * |
And they cried out one unto another in the morning,
|
|
22. * |
Saying: Run unto your field if ye would pluck (the fruit).
|
|
23. * |
So they went off, saying one unto another in low tones:
|
|
24. * |
No needy man shall enter it to-day against you.
|
|
25. * |
They went betimes, strong in (this) purpose.
|
|
26. * |
But when they saw it, they said: Lo! we are in error!
|
|
27. * |
Nay, but we are desolate!
|
|
28. * |
The best among them said: Said I not unto you: Why glorify ye not (Allah)?
|
|
29. * |
They said: Glorified be our Lord! Lo! we have been wrong-doers.
|
|
30. * |
Then some of them drew near unto others, self-reproaching.
|
|
31. * |
They said: Alas for us! In truth we were outrageous.
|
|
32. * |
It may be that our Lord will give us better than this in place thereof. Lo! we beseech our Lord.
|
|
33. * |
Such was the punishment. And verily the punishment of the Hereafter is greater if they did but know.
|
|
34. * |
Lo! for those who keep from evil are gardens of bliss with their Lord.
|
|
35. * |
Shall We then treat those who have surrendered as We treat the guilty?
|
|
36. * |
What aileth you? How foolishly ye judge!
|
|
37. * |
Or have ye a scripture wherein ye learn
|
|
38. * |
That ye shall indeed have all that ye choose?
|
|
39. * |
Or have ye a covenant on oath from Us that reacheth to the Day of Judgment, that yours shall be all that ye ordain?
|
|
40. * |
Ask them (O Muhammad) which of them will vouch for that!
|
|
41. * |
Or have they other gods? Then let them bring their other gods if they are truthful
|
|
42. * |
On the day when it befalleth in earnest, and they are ordered to prostrate themselves but are not able,
|
|
43. * |
With eyes downcast, abasement stupefying them. And they had been summoned to prostrate themselves while they were yet unhurt.
|
|
44. * |
Leave Me (to deal) with those who give the lie to this pronouncement. We shall lead them on by steps from whence they know not.
|
|
45. * |
Yet I bear with them, for lo! My scheme is firm.
|
|
46. * |
Or dost thou (Muhammad) ask a fee from them so that they are heavily taxed?
|
|
47. * |
Or is the Unseen theirs that they can write (thereof)?
|
|
48. * |
But wait thou for thy Lord's decree, and be not like him of the fish, who cried out in despair.
|
|
49. * |
Had it not been that favour from his Lord had reached him he surely had been cast into the wilderness while he was reprobate.
|
|
50. * |
But his Lord chose him and placed him among the righteous.
|
|
51. * |
And lo! those who disbelieve would fain disconcert thee with their eyes when they hear the Reminder, and they say: Lo! he is indeed mad;
|
|
52. * |
When it is naught else than a Reminder to creation.
