| 1. * | By those who set the ranks in battle order |
| 2. * | And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof |
| 3. * | And those who read (the Word) for a reminder, |
| 4. * | Lo! thy Lord is surely One; |
| 5. * | Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the sun's risings. |
| 6. * | Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets; |
| 7. * | With security from every froward devil. |
| 8. * | They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side, |
| 9. * | Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment; |
| 10. * | Save him who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame. |
| 11. * | Then ask them (O Muhammad): Are they stronger as a creation, or those (others) whom we have created? Lo! We created them of plastic clay. |
| 12. * | Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock |
| 13. * | And heed not when they are reminded, |
| 14. * | And seek to scoff when they behold a portent. |
| 15. * | And they say: Lo! this is mere magic; |
| 16. * | When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again)? |
| 17. * | And our forefathers? |
| 18. * | Say (O Muhammad): Ye, in truth; and ye will be brought low. |
| 19. * | There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold, |
| 20. * | And say: Ah, woe for us! This is the Day of Judgment. |
| 21. * | This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny. |
| 22. * | (And it is said unto the angels): Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives and what they used to worship |
| 23. * | Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell; |
| 24. * | And stop them, for they must be questioned. |
| 25. * | What aileth you that ye help not one another? |
| 26. * | Nay, but this day they make full submission. |
| 27. * | And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning. |
| 28. * | They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us, imposing, (swearing that ye spoke the truth). |
| 29. * | They answer: Nay, but ye (yourselves) were not believers. |
| 30. * | We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk. |
| 31. * | Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. Lo! we are about to taste (the doom). |
| 32. * | Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray. |
| 33. * | Then lo! this day they (both) are sharers in the doom. |
| 34. * | Lo! thus deal We with the guilty. |
| 35. * | For when it was said unto them, There is no God save Allah, they were scornful |
| 36. * | And said: Shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet? |
| 37. * | Nay, but he brought the Truth, and he confirmed those sent (before him). |
| 38. * | Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom - |
| 39. * | Ye are requited naught save what ye did - |
| 40. * | Save single-minded slaves of Allah; |
| 41. * | For them there is a known provision, |
| 42. * | Fruits. And they will be honoured |
| 43. * | In the Gardens of delight, |
| 44. * | On couches facing one another; |
| 45. * | A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them, |
| 46. * | White, delicious to the drinkers, |
| 47. * | Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby. |
| 48. * | And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes, |
| 49. * | (Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich). |
| 50. * | And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning. |
| 51. * | A speaker of them saith: Lo! I had a comrade |
| 52. * | Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words)? |
| 53. * | Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones - can we (then) verily be brought to book? |
| 54. * | He saith: Will ye look? |
| 55. * | Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell. |
| 56. * | He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin, |
| 57. * | And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom). |
| 58. * | Are we then not to die |
| 59. * | Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished? |
| 60. * | Lo! this is the supreme triumph. |
| 61. * | For the like of this, then, let the workers work. |
| 62. * | Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum? |
| 63. * | Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong-doers. |
| 64. * | Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell. |
| 65. * | Its crop is as it were the heads of devils |
| 66. * | And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith. |
| 67. * | And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water |
| 68. * | And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell. |
| 69. * | They indeed found their fathers astray, |
| 70. * | But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps. |
| 71. * | And verily most of the men of old went astray before them, |
| 72. * | And verily We sent among them warners. |
| 73. * | Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned, |
| 74. * | Save single-minded slaves of Allah. |
| 75. * | And Noah verily prayed unto Us, and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer |
| 76. * | And We saved him and his household from the great distress, |
| 77. * | And made his seed the survivors, |
| 78. * | And left for him among the later folk (the salutation): |
| 79. * | Peace be unto Noah among the peoples! |
| 80. * | Lo! thus do We reward the good. |
| 81. * | Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves. |
| 82. * | Then We did drown the others. |
| 83. * | And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham |
| 84. * | When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart; |
| 85. * | When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship? |
| 86. * | Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire? |
| 87. * | What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds? |
| 88. * | And he glanced a glance at the stars |
| 89. * | Then said: Lo! I feel sick! |
| 90. * | And they turned their backs and went away from him. |
| 91. * | Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat? |
| 92. * | What aileth you that ye speak not? |
| 93. * | Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand. |
| 94. * | And (his people) came toward him, hastening. |
| 95. * | He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve |
| 96. * | When Allah hath created you and what ye make? |
| 97. * | They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red-hotfire. |
| 98. * | And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost. |
| 99. * | And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me. |
| 100. * | My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous. |
| 101. * | So We gave him tidings of a gentle son. |
| 102. * | And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast. |
| 103. * | Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face, |
| 104. * | We called unto him: O Abraham! |
| 105. * | Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good. |
| 106. * | Lo! that verily was a clear test. |
| 107. * | Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim. |
| 108. * | And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation): |
| 109. * | Peace be unto Abraham! |
| 110. * | Thus do We reward the good. |
| 111. * | Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves. |
| 112. * | And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous. |
| 113. * | And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves. |
| 114. * | And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron, |
| 115. * | And saved them and their people from the great distress, |
| 116. * | And helped them so that they became the victors. |
| 117. * | And We gave them the clear Scripture |
| 118. * | And showed them the right path. |
| 119. * | And We left for them among the later folk (the salutation): |
| 120. * | Peace be unto Moses and Aaron! |
| 121. * | Lo! thus do We reward the good. |
| 122. * | Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves. |
| 123. * | And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn), |
| 124. * | When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil)? |
| 125. * | Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators, |
| 126. * | Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers? |
| 127. * | But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom) |
| 128. * | Save single-minded slaves of Allah. |
| 129. * | And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation): |
| 130. * | Peace be unto Elias! |
| 131. * | Lo! thus do We reward the good. |
| 132. * | Lo! he is one of our believing slaves. |
| 133. * | And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn). |
| 134. * | When We saved him and his household, every one, |
| 135. * | Save an old woman among those who stayed behind; |
| 136. * | Then We destroyed the others. |
| 137. * | And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning |
| 138. * | And at night-time; have ye then no sense? |
| 139. * | And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn) |
| 140. * | When he fled unto the laden ship, |
| 141. * | And then drew lots and was of those rejected; |
| 142. * | And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy; |
| 143. * | And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah) |
| 144. * | He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised; |
| 145. * | Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick; |
| 146. * | And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him; |
| 147. * | And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more |
| 148. * | And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while. |
| 149. * | Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons? |
| 150. * | Or created We the angels females while they were present? |
| 151. * | Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say: |
| 152. * | Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie. |
| 153. * | (And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons. |
| 154. * | What aileth you? How judge ye? |
| 155. * | Will ye not then reflect? |
| 156. * | Or have ye a clear warrant? |
| 157. * | Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful. |
| 158. * | And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him). |
| 159. * | Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him), |
| 160. * | Save single-minded slaves of Allah. |
| 161. * | Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship, |
| 162. * | Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him. |
| 163. * | Save him who is to burn in hell. |
| 164. * | There is not one of us but hath his known position. |
| 165. * | Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks, |
| 166. * | Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise |
| 167. * | And indeed they used to say: |
| 168. * | If we had but a reminder from the men of old |
| 169. * | We would be single-minded slaves of Allah. |
| 170. * | Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know. |
| 171. * | And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn) |
| 172. * | That they verily would be helped, |
| 173. * | And that Our host, they verily would be the victors. |
| 174. * | So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile, |
| 175. * | And watch, for they will (soon) see. |
| 176. * | Would they hasten on Our doom? |
| 177. * | But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned. |
| 178. * | Withdraw from them awhile |
| 179. * | And watch, for they will (soon) see. |
| 180. * | Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him) |
| 181. * | And peace be unto those sent (to warn). |
| 182. * | And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds! |
