| 1. * | Alif Lam Ra. These are the verses of the Book and (of) a Quran that makes (things) clear. |
| 2. * | Often will those who disbelieve wish that they had been Muslims. |
| 3. * | Leave them that they may eat and enjoy themselves and (that) hope may beguile them, for they will soon know. |
| 4. * | And never did We destroy a town but it had a term made known. |
| 5. * | No people can hasten on their doom nor can they postpone (it). |
| 6. * | And they say: O you to whom the Reminder has been revealed! you are most surely insane: |
| 7. * | Why do you not bring to us the angels if you are of the truthful ones? |
| 8. * | We do not send the angels but with truth, and then they would not be respited. |
| 9. * | Surely We have revealed the Reminder and We will most surely be its guardian. |
| 10. * | And certainly We sent (messengers) before you among the nations of yore. |
| 11. * | And there never came a messenger to them but they mocked him. |
| 12. * | Thus do We make it to enter into the hearts of the guilty; |
| 13. * | They do not believe in it, and indeed the example of the former people has already passed. |
| 14. * | And even if We open to them a gateway of heaven, so that they ascend into it all the while, |
| 15. * | They would certainly say: Only our eyes have been covered over, rather we are an enchanted people. |
| 16. * | And certainly We have made strongholds in the heaven and We have made it fair seeming to the beholders. |
| 17. * | And We guard it against every accursed Shaitan, |
| 18. * | But he who steals a hearing, so there follows him a visible flame. |
| 19. * | And the earth-- We have spread it forth and made in it firm mountains and caused to grow in it of every suitable thing. |
| 20. * | And We have made in it means of subsistence for you and for him for whom you are not the suppliers. |
| 21. * | And there is not a thing but with Us are the treasures of it, and We do not send it down but in a known measure. |
| 22. * | And We send the winds fertilizing, then send down water from the cloud so We give it to you to drink of, nor is it you who store it up. |
| 23. * | And most surely We bring to life and cause to die and We are the heirs. |
| 24. * | And certainly We know those of you who have gone before and We certainly know those who shall come later. |
| 25. * | And surely your Lord will gather them together; surely He is Wise, Knowing. |
| 26. * | And certainly We created man of clay that gives forth sound, of black mud fashioned in shape. |
| 27. * | And the jinn We created before, of intensely hot fire. |
| 28. * | And when your Lord said to the angels: Surely I am going to create a mortal of the essence of black mud fashioned in shape. |
| 29. * | So when I have made him complete and breathed into him of My spirit, fall down making obeisance to him. |
| 30. * | So the angels made obeisance, all of them together, |
| 31. * | But Iblis (did it not); he refused to be with those who made obeisance. |
| 32. * | He said: O Iblis! what excuse have you that you are not with those who make obeisance? |
| 33. * | He said: I am not such that I should make obeisance to a mortal whom Thou hast created of the essence of black mud fashioned in shape. |
| 34. * | He said: Then get out of it, for surely you are driven away: |
| 35. * | And surely on you is curse until the day of judgment. |
| 36. * | He said: My Lord! then respite me till the time when they are raised. |
| 37. * | He said: So surely you are of the respited ones |
| 38. * | Till the period of the time made known. |
| 39. * | He said: My Lord! because Thou hast made life evil to me, I will certainly make (evil) fair-seeming to them on earth, and I will certainly cause them all to deviate |
| 40. * | Except Thy servants from among them, the devoted ones. |
| 41. * | He said: This is a right way with Me: |
| 42. * | Surely. as regards My servants, you have no authority ,over them except those who follow you of the deviators. |
| 43. * | And surely Hell is the promised place of them all: |
| 44. * | It has seven gates; for every gate there shall be a separate party of them. |
| 45. * | Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in the midst of gardens and fountains: |
| 46. * | Enter them in peace, secure. |
| 47. * | And We will root out whatever of rancor is in their breasts-- (they shall be) as brethren, on raised couches, face to face. |
| 48. * | Toil shall not afflict them in it, nor shall they be ever ejected from it. |
| 49. * | Inform My servants that I am the Forgiving, the Merciful, |
| 50. * | And that My punishment-- that is the painful punishment. |
| 51. * | And inform them of the guests of Ibrahim: |
| 52. * | When they entered upon him, they said, Peace. He said: Surely we are afraid of you. |
| 53. * | They said: Be not afraid, surely we give you the good news of a boy, possessing knowledge. |
| 54. * | He said: Do you give me good news (of a son) when old age has come upon me?-- Of what then do you give me good news! |
| 55. * | They said: We give you good news with truth, therefore be not of the despairing. |
| 56. * | He said: And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord but the erring ones? |
| 57. * | He said: What is your business then, O messengers? |
| 58. * | They said: Surely we are sent towards a guilty people, |
| 59. * | Except Lut's followers: We will most surely deliver them all, |
| 60. * | Except his wife; We ordained that she shall surely be of those who remain behind. |
| 61. * | So when the messengers came to Lut's followers, |
| 62. * | He said: Surely you are an unknown people. |
| 63. * | They said: Nay, we have come to you with that about which they disputed. |
| 64. * | And we have come to you with the truth, and we are most surely truthful. |
| 65. * | Therefore go forth with your followers in a part of the night and yourself follow their rear, and let not any one of you turn round, and go forth whither you are commanded. |
| 66. * | And We revealed to him this decree, that the roots of these shall be cut off in the morning. |
| 67. * | And the people of the town came rejoicing. |
| 68. * | He said: Surely these are my guests, therefore do not disgrace me, |
| 69. * | And guard against (the punishment of) Allah and do not put me to shame. |
| 70. * | They said: Have we not forbidden you from (other) people? |
| 71. * | He said: These are my daughters, if you will do (aught). |
| 72. * | By your life! they were blindly wandering on in their intoxication. |
| 73. * | So the rumbling overtook them (while) entering upon the time of sunrise; |
| 74. * | Thus did We turn it upside down, and rained down upon them stones of what had been decreed. |
| 75. * | Surely in this are signs for those who examine. |
| 76. * | And surely it is on a road that still abides. |
| 77. * | Most surely there is a sign in this for the believers. |
| 78. * | And the dwellers of the thicket also were most surely unjust. |
| 79. * | So We inflicted retribution on them, and they are both, indeed, on an open road (still) pursued. |
| 80. * | And the dwellers of the Rock certainly rejected the messengers; |
| 81. * | And We gave them Our communications, but they turned aside from them; |
| 82. * | And they hewed houses in the mountains in security. |
| 83. * | So the rumbling overtook them in the morning; |
| 84. * | And what they earned did not avail them. |
| 85. * | And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them two but in truth; and the hour is most surely coming, so turn away with kindly forgiveness. |
| 86. * | Surely your Lord is the Creator of all things, the Knowing. |
| 87. * | And certainly We have given you seven of the oft-repeated (verses) and the grand Quran. |
| 88. * | Do not strain your eyes after what We have given certain classes of them to enjoy, and do not grieve for them, and make yourself gentle to the believers. |
| 89. * | And say: Surely I am the plain warner. |
| 90. * | Like as We sent down on the dividers |
| 91. * | Those who made the Quran into shreds. |
| 92. * | So, by your Lord, We would most certainly question them all, |
| 93. * | As to what they did. |
| 94. * | Therefore declare openly what you are bidden and turn aside from the polytheists. |
| 95. * | Surely We will suffice you against the scoffers |
| 96. * | Those who set up another god with Allah; so they shall soon know. |
| 97. * | And surely We know that your breast straitens at what they say; |
| 98. * | Therefore celebrate the praise of your Lord, and be of those who make obeisance. |
| 99. * | And serve your Lord until there comes to you that which is certain. |
